Kidney Diseases (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Kidney Diseases I suppose that the uppermost feeling in the mind of a man who puts his work into shape is that he has produced after all a tissue made chiefly of holes, and that everywhere he has left observations incomplete, and hypotheses unverified. That I think must always be. Man is the most difficult object in the world to investigate, and conclusions must often be left doubtful. Yet experimental pathology is not more reliable, though here the uncertainty lies less in the observation than in its application. Medicine must work by both methods, and clinical experience will always be needed. This book is the outcome of many years of work, and is drawn chiefly from my own hospital and my own wards. Of course, however, I am greatly in debt to the writings of others, especially in those rarer diseases which do not occur frequently in the practice of any one man. These obligations I hope I have acknowledged in the text. But the largest debt of all I owe to my colleague Williamson.
