ADOLF WEIL (1848-1916) Handbuch und Atlas der topographischen Percussion. F. C. W. Vogel 1877 x, 183 pp., 26 col. plates. 22.3 cm.

Weil is probably best known for his original description of leptospirosis (Weil's disease) which he was able to differentiate from other types of acute jaundice. This highly regarded monograph is a detailed exposition of auscultation of the thorax in the diagnosis of intrathoracic conditions.

Gift of John Martin, M.D.
