Another departure from what is usually heard in mitral ste-nosis is the retention of the presystolic bruit and of the first soundloithout a second sound, or of the murmur alone without either ofthe cardiac tones. Attention is directed to these anomalies byBroadbent, who states that under such circumstances it is possiblefor the murmur to be mistaken for a systolic one followed by asecond sound, or for the bruit to be considered systolic, and tohave replaced the sound altogether. Care should be taken to avoidsuch an error, since a systolic murmur means regurgitation, andfor sake of prognosis as well as treatment stenosis should be recog-nised as such whenever it exists. A mistake can probably beavoided by palpation of the carotid pulse, when it will be foundthat this is preceded by t
