Abstract
Many errors of clinical interpretation have arisen (and no doubt may continue to arise) from a failure to recognise the variability that is characteristic of man in all his measurable features. Such variability between one person and another is clearly a necessary and distinctive attribute of life. How then in this situation can we define a “normal” value? On what point of the scale should we begin to regard them as abnormal, i.e. pathological?
