STUDIES IN BLOOD-PRESSURE CHAPTER IAPPARATUS J I. The Manometer Clinical manometers may be divided into twoclasses. First, the various forms of the ordinarymercurial manometer measuring pressure by theheight of a column of mercury, and secondly, thedifferent kinds of manometers graduated from thatstandard. The Standard Mercurial Manometer.—There isa consensus of opinion among the best observers infavour of the mercurial, as the only trustworthyform of clinical manometer. Unfortunately, how-ever, it has hitherto been so handicapped by itscumbrousness and general unsuitability for bed-side observation, that the portable instruments 1 The apparatus is made by Messrs.
