Knowledge gained by frequent trial or by experiment; practice; knowledge from observation.

To be taught by practice or experiment; to know by trial.

A knowledge of things acquired by observation. In medicine, this knowledge can be obtained both by the practitioner's own experience, and by that obtained from tradition and from books. To profit by experience requires a mind capable of appreciating the proper relations between cause and effect; and hence it happens, that false experience, Experientia fallax, is extremely common; and that a man had better, in many instances, trust to that which he has learned from others, than to his own fallacious observation. The union of accurate observation by the physician with that handed down by medical writers constitutes perfect experience, so far as it is attainable in any individual case.
