Since then a large literature has grown indicating that other substances may be used to make similar observations. In the main, these agents lend themselves to division into two groups. In one group are those which give a subjective end-point. In order to determine the velocity of blood flow in this group, the observer must not only brief his patient adequately but must have...Bibliography1.
