A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The medical profession is often spoken of as nonprogressive. As a practical member of it, the author is of a different opinion. He knows full-well not only that, to many, age does not tend to make anything medical more worthy of attention, but that the old is apt to be wilfully overlooked. He discovered some time ago that in the library of the College of Ph3sicians of Philadelphia the centre, probabl, of medical learning in the United States A dams edition of the works of Hippocrates had rested with the leaves uncut for over twenty years. New things are far too much in vogue. If Bacon were alive to-day he might still say, with too much truth, as he said three hundred j-ears ago: Let a man look into phjsicians prescripts and ministrations and he will find them but inconstancies and ever3-day devices, without an settled providence or project (A dvancement of Learning ). The age is too much one of trial, of incoherency, to be either eminently scientific or highl successful in practice. Be3ond question, the medicine of the past is harmfully neglected; for its literature few have a desirable taste, and fewer 5et a sufl Scient knowledge. Deploring this state of things, the author would gladly assist in bringing about a change. Hence, it affords him pleasure to dedicate this essay to his professional brethren.
