ADOLF WEIL (1848-1916). Handbuch und Atlas der topographischen Percussion. Leipzig: 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.
