Auenbrugger's "Inventum novum" of percussion, recognized by Corvisart, extended the field; but the discovery of auscultation by Laennec, and the publication of his work "De l'Auscultation Mediate," 1819, marked an era in the study of medicine. The clinical recognition of individual diseases had made really very little progress; with the stethoscope begins the day of physical diagnosis.
As I had found his pulse irregular and intermittent, I took out a stethoscope, which is a pocket-spyglass for looking into people's chests with your ears, and laid it over the place where the heart beats. I missed the usual beat of the organ. How is this? I said, where is your heart gone to? He took the stethoscope and shifted it across to the right side; there was a displacement of the organ.
People were afraid to trust them, no matter how much they knew. One of the old doctors asked him to come in and examine a patient's heart for him the other day. He went with him accordingly, and when they stood by the bedside, he offered his stethoscope to the old doctor.
While the commissioner hesitated, Kennedy reached over and impatiently switched on the electric light in full force. As the light flooded the room, blinding us for the instant, the large form of Dr. Leslie stood between us and the lawyer. "What does the stethoscope tell you, Doctor?" asked Craig, leaning forward expectantly. He was as unprepared for the answer as any of us.
The little lamb, lying on her back with her mouth open, making that funny noise: "Cluck-cluck," like a hen. Why can't I dream about something I want to happen? Why can't I dream about Richard? ... Poor Richard, how can he go on believing I shall come to him? Dear Dr. Charles, with his head sticking out between the tubes of the stethoscope, like a ram. His poor old mouth hung loose as he breathed.

The silence was uncanny after the din outside. In a few moments I heard a queer, muffled tap tap tap, coming through the earth on the left. I crept closer to my companion, and with my mouth close to his ear enquired whether that was the Bosche working. "Yes," he said, "but listen with this," giving me an instrument very similar to a doctor's stethoscope.
The young and the females, however, build nests, one of which measured ten feet high, five feet long, and six feet wide. Bats are great winter sleepers, and in most of the known caves they can be found during the cold months clinging to the walls and to each other. During hibernation their respiration ceases almost entirely, and only the most careful use of a stethoscope can reveal it.
So she sat up, dislodging the stethoscope, and ignoring the purpose of the thermometer which had reposed under her tongue. "Look here!" she said, addressing the doctor in a high, queer voice. "I can't be sick, young man. Haven't time. Not just now. Put it off until August and I'll be as sick as you like. Why, man, this is the middle of June, and I'm due in Minneapolis now."
Taking out a stethoscope, Donald bade the giant open his soft, homemade shirt, and planted the transmitting disk against the massive chest, padded with wonderful, bulging muscles. "O-ho," he said under his breath, as he finally laid the instrument aside; for his intently listening ears had caught the faint, but clearly discernible sound of a systolic murmur, deep within.
