Excerpt from A Contribution to Physiological Medicine: Being an Address Delivered Before the British Balneological and Climatological Society on May 21st, 1903 and a Preliminary Communication on the Measurement of Tissue-Lymph in Mar Read Before the Royal Society, June 11th, 1903, With Additions and Illustrat Mr. President and Gentlemen, - Two years ago it was intimated to me that this Society wished to do me the honour of calling me to its presidential chair. Inasmuch as circumstances prevented me from accepting that honour, I have since been haunted by a desire to indicate in some way my appreciation of your goodness to me, consequently, I have been casting about for some suitable avenue in which to express it. Therefore, I gladly embrace the present opportunity of addressing you - an opportunity for which I am indebted to you, Mr. President, and to the Council of the Society. The physician practising at a health resort may be regarded as a specialist in chronic ailments, for by far the larger number of his patients have been out of health for periods of varying length. Now chronic ailments arc generally the outcome of some long operating cause or causes - hereditary or individual-and the material which they furnish for his daily thought and work induces the physician to cultivate a trustful study of, and reliance on, physiology as the guiding star of his practice.
