Excerpt from Annual Address Before the Philadelphia County Medical Society: Delivered February 8, 1854I shall pass over the stereotyped paragraph of professors to their graduating class, that they are just then entering on the threshold of their studies as well as duties, with but one ob servation, that, having been actively and sometimes oppressively engaged in, the various branches of the practice of medicine for more than forty years, during all of which time I have felt the necessity of being still a student, my feelings are now, that prao tice and study must not, cannot be separated with safety - that the Doctor in medicine, no matter how conversant he may be with all ancient and modern authorities, if he does not read and keep up with the advances in science of the age and the day in which he lives - if he does not make a separate and distinct study of each and every case brought under his notice for advice and aid, is not qualified to do justice to his patient, and much less to advance the interest and elevate the character of the profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
