"What Our Friends Say 64 



THE MICROSCOPE AS AN AID TO CORRECT DIAGNO- 

 SIS IN CERTAIN DISEASES OF THE SKIN. 



C. C. YEMAXS, A. M., M. D., PROFESSOR OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN IN 

 MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE. 



HEBRA says : " For the recognition of diseases of the skin no 

 Other assistance is required than a knowledge of the objective 

 symptoms which are visible on the surface of the body in each par- 

 ticular case. We do not attach any value either to the history or 

 the subjective phenomena in investigating a cutaneous affection." 

 While I cannot accept this dictum of the world renowned professor, 

 I think it well to call attention to the importance of objective symp- 

 toms in diagnosis.
