Excerpt from History of Medicine: With the Code of Medical Ethics
From 1892 to 1897, both years included, I gave to the senior class of the Northwestern University Medical School each year a course of fourteen or fifteen lectures on the history of medicine from the earliest periods of which we have any records, to the end of the nineteenth century of the Christian era. My object was to trace with as much clearness and accuracy as possible the origin and progressive development of the various branches of medical science and practice, and their intimate connection with the progress of all other departments of human knowledge.
The following chapters, constituting this book, have been written and revised from the notes used in the lecture room, each chapter representing a lecture in the order in which it was given.
I have consented to their publication in a neat, but inexpensive volume, in the hope that they might attract the attention of a large proportion of both students and practitioners of medicine, and thereby diffuse a better knowledge of the origin, progress, and present status of the true science and art of medicine.
