Previous to Auenbrugger's day, the doctor looked at @ pat! amiled, made a pleasant remark, and thought he convinced the patient that he understood the nature of his trouble. It 1s no wonder that many a life was needlessly lowt for want of a proper method to detect the malady tn order to sive timely medical ald. Our thanks are due to Auenbrugger for his great and inestimable aid to humanity and to suf- ferers of lung diseases in perticular, He taught that by soundings of the chest (a method known to medical actence as “peroussion”) the different diseases of the chest can be pointed out, early treatment thus begun and a cure a complished. In a speech before the American Cu- Matological Association, a prominent American physician eatd: “It 1s quite improbable, I think, that We should bo here to-day, or indped have an existence as a socioty largely devoted to the consideration of dis- eases of the chest, were it not for the methods of thoracic examination which | Auenbrugser end Laenneo have given ua.” leopold Auenbrugger was born in Gratz, Austria, fn 1722.
