It is clavus when there is a strong pulsation, conveying the sensation of a nail piercing the part. |
The figures of D. clavus by Albertini and Schweinitz are excellent, as also the description. |
Some of the worst cases of clavus, probably, that have ever been seen were developed in the old days of phlebotomy. |
The adjective hystericus is an improper and inadequate definition of the circumstances under which clavus arises. |
On his later map clavus has made up for the want of names in an astonishing way. |
I think this is attributing to clavus rather too much original thought, of which his maps and text do not otherwise give evidence. |
