Note 3 — OBSERVATIONS, &c. &c.
Reading edition
In 1822, M. J. A. Legumeau de Kergarader published a Memoir “Sur l’Auscultation,” &c. in reference to gestation; and in 1824, M. J. Lisfranc, a Memoir, to show the powers of the stethoscope in enabling the surgeon to detect with greater nicety the fractures of bones. I have read these essays, which must be allowed the praise of ingenuity; and I conceive that cases may occur of each description, in which the aid of the stethoscope would be found not unimportant.
