Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative of Medicine in America This book is not a systematic history; it is a narrative of medicine and doctors. My object has been to take some of the conspicuous American physicians of each era in their proper sequence, to tell the story of their lives and their doings, and thus to illustrate the whole by a series of pictures, as it were. Very many men, dear to Dryasdust and others, are unnamed; very many events are unchronicled; but I hope the story will show to laymen as well as to physicians something of the meaning of medicine and of the life of its votaries. It has always seemed to me that of such meaning popular conception was of the dimmest. The lawyers have their great names well known to all readers of history; the famous clergy of the past are household possessions; great statesmen, insignificant monarchs, gallant soldiers and sailors, and even traitors, scoundrels, and fools, are immortalized by writers; but of the doctors, few know or seem to care. Even their professional offspring neglect them, and will tell you that it is only the science of to-day which really counts; as though we could divorce ourselves from the past, as though we could understand truly our present or make progress without a knowledge of that past, as though we ourselves were not part of history. So, after a fashion, I have in these pages attempted to call back to life one little group of men. They tell their own story, and if that story point a moral, it is for you, kind reader, to decide and benefit.

SOME TENDENCIES IN MODERN MEDICINE. Before concluding this retrospect of medicine and its professors as they have been in the America of our ancestors, it may be interesting to readers--especially to readers belonging to that large class felicitously called laymen--to glance at one or two of the tendencies of the modern doctor's life, --its pleasures, hardships, ambitions, and conditions. The first thing that strikes the student of medical history is not so much the great advance in knowledge among our leading men, compared with the best knowledge of the past, but the gradual levelling up of the masses of the profession and the sanity of their outlook on the problems of the doctor's life. This levelling up was not the immediate result of the great discoveries and teaching of the past. We have seen how most of the American contemporaries of Sydenham, and the Hunters, of Bichat and Haller, remained in a state of blindness. The general improvement has grown out of the fact that we have gradually come to apply to our medical teaching, as to our teaching in all other lines of endeavor, the American principles of higher education; the meeting the demands of our masses by giving them of our best. In view of the backwardness of American medical education up to a few years ago, such a statement may sound paradoxical. We had been forever comparing our darkness with the enlightenment of the great European centres, and telling of our own ignorance. But such telling and such comparing bore their fruit. We kept looking at the best things among those foreign folk, and crying out that we should lead up to them not our chosen few, but our rank and file. We have never been contented with looking at the state of that European rank and file, .

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Heroes of the Art of Medicine Tm; design of this book is to represent the condition of the Art of Medicine and its practitioners at successive periods of history. In the execution of the plan, it has naturally happened that the characters of the men who have directly, or indirectly, exerted the greatest influence in moulding the medical art have been among the chief subjects of research and delineation. Hence the volume has assumed a lighter, more biographical, and probably more popular form, than might perhaps have been expected in a work of this nature.
