"Practical Pathology" by Aldred Scott Warthin is a scientific manual focused on autopsy and laboratory techniques, likely written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for students and physicians, detailing practical methods needed to perform autopsies and analyze pathological specimens. It emphasizes the importance of autopsy as a fundamental practice in medicine, providing insights that can enhance diagnostic skills and contribute to medical knowledge. The opening of "Practical Pathology" introduces the purpose and significance of autopsy in medical practice, explaining that it provides critical information regarding the causes of death and the pathological conditions present. Warthin outlines the various methods and techniques used in autopsy procedures, emphasizing the necessity for meticulous observation and a systematic approach. He also discusses the legal and ethical aspects of autopsy, advocating for a more widespread acceptance of this practice to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve public health understanding.
