A complete blood spectrum which consists of the graphs of general condition, hepatic parenchyma, biliary outflow and kidney function was applied to 2840 cases of patienta in order to evaluate its usefulness for the diagosis of various kinds of diseases. By this study the blood spectrum wasconfirmed to be a well-establish system of clinical diagnosis based on blood chemistry, which provided the measures effective in appraising the function of important organs (liver, kidney etc.) as well as of the general condition. In not a few cases the determination of the name of diseases by blood spectrum was possible without special reference to the record of physical examination, so long as The morbid history was available. (1)Nephrotic syndrom, uremia and diabetes mellitus showed the peculiar blood spectrums, which enabled us to make their diagnosis without the aid of the record of morbid history and physical exsmination. (2)The blood spectrum was very useful for the diagnosis of jaundice and renal diseases. It was also helpful for The observation of the clinical course of pulmonary tuberculisis and anemia, and fairly contributory to the differential diagnosis of gastric cancer and gastrodudenal ulcer. (3)Blood spectrum served the confirmation of bed-side diagnosis in 7.5 pre cent, the establishment of clinical diagnosis which had been entirely enigmatic at the bed side in 7.3 per cent, and thedetection of complications (azotemia, dehdeation, malnutrition etc.) in 20.8 per cent of the cases which came under our observation. The blood spectrum is accordingly believed to an excellent system of clinical chemistry as judged from the present if the development of this medical science.
