Excerpt from Edinburgh Medical Journal, 1915, Vol. 14 To overcome this difficulty a teaching collection Of specimens has been formed, arranged, and described on the principle that each case is to be considered as a whole. The development of the case, which is described in the clinical account Of the patient's history and symptoms, reveals the extent to which the various systems have been involved in the progress of the disease. The post-mortem examination and the subsequent microscopical study of the affected organs give an account of the sequence of events as it is portrayed in the pathological lesions grouped together in the case. Finally, in a review of the whole case, these two accounts are compared, with the purpose of bringing out clearly the relation of clinical symptoms with pathological changes. In order to bring this method of study within reasonable compass a number of outstanding and typical cases have been selected and worked out in full detail, and the student is directed to give to these special attention. He is also required to prepare reports of this type on cases as they occur in the post-mortem room, and this forms a large part Of his work in practical pathology. By this method pathology becomes an introduction to clinical work to an extent which is impossible where the student is restricted to the more abstract questions of morbid anatomy, and his general interest in pathology as a branch of medicine becomes the more living. The working of this method can be explained more easily by giving examples. It is proposed to publish a number of cases, the reports Of which have been drawn up on the lines described, and the following case of carcinoma Of the pylorus is the first of these.
