Chiral perturbation theory is exploited in relating the pionic hydrogen s-wave level shift and width results to the appropriate scattering lengths. The deduced value for the coupling is $f^2 = 0.075 \pm 0.002$, where the largest source of uncertainty is the determination of the s-wave $π^- p$ scattering length from the atomic level shift measurement.4 pages, 1 figure. v2: Revised the second last paragraph of 5th section and clarified the electromagnetic corrections (Tromborg vs. $χ$PT). Also removed the KH80 slope from the fig. 1High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyThe Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme sum rule revisitedtext
