It will also be useful to
scatter some hints of our proofs here and there, but
in such a way that it is never forgotten that we are
making a statement of facts and not a proof. Sometimes, however, we must also support our assertions
by a certain amount of argument, though this must
be short and simple: for instance in a case of
poisoning we shall say, “He was perfectly well
when he drank, he fell suddenly to the ground, and
blackness and swelling of the body immediately
supervened.”
