The sphygmograph and the physiology of the circulation : a monograph read before the Medical Society of New Jersey, upon investigations made preparatory to a larger work on the practical value of the sphygmograph . Chronic Bright1 s Disease, with Contracted Same Disease, but with less Vibratilk Pulse. Now, so far as specific diagnosis goes, the science we areconsidering being in its infancy, is therefore far from perfect;thus tracings apparently similar result from very diverse sources, 28 THE SPHYGMOGRAPH, and our knowledge is at present too limited to enable us toread the hieroglyphics at first sight, always correctly ; for ex-ample, in mitral obstruction the tension of the auricle neces-sarily reacts upon the pulmonary circulation, and this in turnupon the right ventricle which supplies it. If the obstruc-tion occur at the tricuspid orifice, a similar reaction existsthrough the venae cavae, the liver, the portal circulation, andthus even upon the direct aortic current. Moreover the pres-sure of tumors upon large arteries, even derangement of thesympathetic system, produces very similar and therefore per-plexing records. Still, even though we may not say as yetjust where obstruction exists in certain cases, or why, if webut ascertain t
