If in these voluntary details nothing has been mentioned respecting several parts or functions of the body or his mental state, the physician asks what more can be told in regard to these parts and these functions, or the state of his disposition or mind; (Note: For example, what is the character of his stools How does he pass his water How is it with his day and night sleep What is the state of his disposition, his humour, his memory How about the thirst What sort of taste has he in his mouth What kinds of food and drink are most relished What are most repugnant to him Has each its full natural taste, or some other unusual taste How does he feel after eating or drinking Has he anything to tell about the head, the limbs, or the abdomen ) but in doing this he only makes use of general expressions, in order that his informants may be obliged to enter into special details concerning them.
