Show Testing Pleurisy With Coins. A novel method of diagnosing pleurisy pleu-risy Is described by P. Lereboullet In the Paris Medical Journal. The examiner ex-aminer applies his ear to the patient's chest, closing his other ear, while cotnSj are clinked at the patient's back. The sound of the coins coming through a healthy, normally aerated lung seems distant and dull, while through an af- fected lung, through solid or homo-i geneous tissue a clear, silvery metallic metal-lic ring Is heard.
