title: [19 c. heart examination in Poland (the beginning of percussion and auscultation)].
abstract: Basing on the 19 c literature and health reports, the contemporary views upon the methods of circulatory tract examination were reconstructed. The differences in the choice and propagation of the new methods were pointed out at the most important centres of medicine in Poland: Warsaw, Cracow and Vilnius. It was also established that the methods of percussion and auscultation had reached Poland earlier that the research done so far seemed to have indicated.
