Consists in observing every case and every sympto of a case numerically, so as to ensure, as far as practicable, accuracy of observation; and to enable us, by the anaylysis and collation of such facts, to deduce general laws and conclusions. Also, the application of numbers to the study of disease. See Statistics, medical.
