Excerpt from On Dropsy: Connected With Disease of the Kidneys, Etc; Etc
The microscope as an instrument of investigation should be to diseases Of the kidneys, what the stethoscope is to diseases Of the lungs. The ear detects, by the aid of the one, the alterations Of the sounds Of respiration induced by disease the eye, assisted by the other, sees in the urine materials and products thrown off from the kidneys, which, when care fully studied, become safe and reliable exponents both of the nature of the disease, and of its advance or decline.
