DIRECTIONS FOR USING
First decide under which rubric or general heading the case is to be studied, as, for instance, “Head”, “Chest”, “Female Sexual Organs,” etc., and turn to that part of the “Blank”.
Read every word under that heading, and with a pencil place a little mark beside each word that is suggestive of symptoms experienced. Then takes a separate paper and write out your symptoms as nearly as possible, according to the suggestions coming to you by the words that have been checked. Next turn to the last division of the Blank, viz,.: Generalities, and check- mark everything that is suggestive, as before.
Finally, run over the whole Blank and check all suggestive points, words or phrases, Write out explanations, when you can, so as to make it clear to the physician. Full up all blanks.
Consult your dictionary, if necessary, and WRITE PLAINLY.
