An auscultatory sign pointed out by M. Hourmann, which consists in noting the character of the observer's own voice, while he speaks with his head placed close to the patient's chest. The voice, it is alleged, will be modified by the condition of the subjacent organs. The resonance, thus heard, he terms retentissemeht autophonique. This diagnostic agency Dr. R. G. Latham proposes to term heautophonics.
