684 KANSAS CITY REVIEW OF SCIENCE. 
ability to determine upon a diagnosis much earlier than would ordinarily be pos- 
sible ; second—the physician is furnished with a permanent record of the condi- 
tion of his patient from hour to hour and day to day; third—the slightest modi- 
fication or variation by reason of an exposure, the exhibition of prescribed reme- 
dies at given hours, or the ingestion of prescribed food during the day, will be 
reveiled to the physician when he makes his evening visit, thus affording him 
from time to time, a more definite idea of the immediate effect, good or bad, of 
his treatment; fourth—it will give warning of danger from collapse during the 
crisis before it could be detected in any other way; fifth—the physician is pro- 
vided with a means of leaving more definite directions with the attendant or 
nurse, e. g. he will be able to say that ‘‘should the curve assume such or such a 
character, or the line rise to this or that point, you may discontinue this, that, or 
the other remedy, and proceed to exhibit zs, according to the directions; or, 
should such and such a thing take place, it will indicate an emergency calling for 
this, that, or the other measure.” 
The science of meteorology, also, will find in the thermograph an instrument 
it has long felt the need of. Never before has there been invented an instrument 
capable of furnishing a curve representing the constant temperature of the atmos- 
phere. To be sure, there are two or three instruments in the possession of the 
United States Weather Department at Washington, constructed upon an entirely 
different principle, which automatically produce a continuous curve, but the latter 
is only by reason of the velocity with which the cylinder revolves ; besides, they 
are of an exceedingly complicated nature, cumbersome, and very expensive. 
The simplicity and inexpensiveness (it will cost about $50) of the thermo- 
graph, place it within the reach of almost every physician, and will enable the 
United States Weather Department to furnish one or more of them to every one 
of its sub-stations. 
This, gentlemen, is the instrument I have chosen to dignify with the title of 
Thermograph, and which I have lately placed in the hands of Aloe & Hernstein 
to manufacture for the use of the medical profession. 
With its introduction, I predict the dawn of a new era in medicine, marked 
by progress equal to that accompanying the introduction of the sphygmograph, 
myograph, cardiograph, and other important instruments of a similar character.
