This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture, Delivered in the Medical College of South-Carolina, in November 1835 What has been more abused or mal-administered in some instances, than the principles of law and equity? Do not statesmen, who should regulate governments in the principles of virtue and honor, frequently violate their solemn duties? And has not the sacred temple of God been profaned by ignorance and vice? Yet would we say that all law, all government, all religion, is undeserving of con fidence because some men, either from incapacity or wickedness, do not put fully into practice the immutable principles of equity or the eternal truths of religion? It is true there have been some men, in all ages, who have been dignified with the character of philoso phots, who have thrown the shafts of ridicule and proclaimed their anathemas against religion. Because, under the garb of sanctity, some have polluted the temple of the Most High - and in like manner, the Medical profession has been satirized by the poet, and sneered at by the cynic - because of the ignorance and folly of some of its mem bers. Indeed, when we reflect upon the conflicting doctrines which have been advanced in Medicine, when we reflect upon the con tlanal efforts which are made by Medical men to bring themselves into notice and reputation, by decrying their competitors, and how many pursue the profession, who either by their attainments or pow er of observation or acumen, are unable to apply properly its principles, we have reason rather to wonder at the respect which is still paid to the dicta of Physicians than that there should be at times little or no distinction made by some portions of a community be tween the regularly educated physician and the empirical pretender. Empiricism has prevailed in every country andin every age. In all professions, nay, in every pursuit of life, we find some men preferring the paths of treachery, cunning, and imposture, to that of honesty, intelligence and virtue; and among the vacillating, weak, and credulous, how many are entangled in its snares - awhile others, afflicted with incurable diseases, hope still fluttering in their bosoms, hke the weary and benighted traveller pursue any false light which may be presented to them - the hapless victims of its fatal promises Our profession has, however, no more to complain of than the pursuits of other men. Whenever the physician is thoroughly acquainted with the principles of his profession, he has nothing to fear, for knowledge, associated with virtue and honor, is a panoply, capable of resisting the shafts of envy, or the intrigues of designing men.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture: Delivered at the Massachusetts Medical College, November 6th, 1849 Gentlemen of the Medical Class: - We are assembled in obedience to a healthy custom. It is well that those who are interested in this institution, should meet together once in the year, to testify their good will to it, and to indicate by their presence that they feel an interest in its prosperity. We recognize here the guardians of the University; the flourishing condition of which is ample evidence of the fidelity and wisdom of their administration. Here are those who, at no remote period, were actively engaged in teaching the lessons of our art; indelibly associated with a pleasant period of our lives, and bound to many of us by claims to more than our regard. Some who look back as if it were yesterday to the time when like yourselves they stood at the threshold of our profession; when they imbibed at this fountain the early teachings of our science; come here to be reminded by each recurring year, of the lengthening interval which separates them from a period which never can return, and to awaken its memories. Winter nas assembled you from various distances and with various motives; animated by curiosity or impelled by duty; determined to accomplish an end, or yielding to a customary routine; but all imbued with a good and friendly spirit, and ready to unite with the well-wishers of our institution, to promote its best interests. Occupying b relation to you, gentlemen, new to myself, and of the honor of which I am deeply sensible, there may be a propriety in devoting an hour, usually allotted to considerations of a general character, to an exposition of some of the principal topics suggested by this relation; and it is my intention, with your permission, briefly to review our subject m its connections with science, and with the community. The Institutes of Surgery are its settled principles; and if we consider the character of the phenomena which are presented to us in the study of this science, and reflect how unappreciable are the agencies which constitute disease, we have good reason to be satisfied that there is any thing in a successive generalization so remote as to be called a principle, or so unequivocal in its character as to be considered settled, in our science.

Book Introductory Lecture Delivered Before the Medical Class in Castleton Medical College  at the Opening of the Fall Session  1842  Classic Reprint

Reese and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Delivered Before the Medical Class in Castleton Medical College, at the Opening of the Fall Session, 1842 To prepare you to think correctly, and thus theorize for yourselves, it will be necessary to review the ancient and modern doctrines of general and special medicine, including the theories which have successively had their day among medical philosophers. These with the facts by which they were attempted to be sustained by their authors and adherents, will constitute the ground-work of the pres ent course. In this brief and cursory view of the past, which is all that our time will permit, you will find that much, very much which is true in medicine is as old as Hippocrates, many of his theories having been based upon observation and experience, and being there fore of necessity immutable. His errors were few and inconsidera ble, even as discoverable in the advanced state of our knowledge at this day, notwithstanding the disadvantages under which he pur sued his researches, ia ignorance of human structure, except so far as it could be revealed to him by the dissection of inferior animals. Under these circumstances we are constrained at this day to marvel, not at his errors, but that he could, by possibility, have acquired the knowledge, of which his writings give evidence. All modern physicians at the present day regard Anatomy, healthy and morbid, as constituting the elements of all the accuracy to which we can attain in medicine, and their theories are constructed by studying symptoms in reference to such anatomy, and by testing the powers of remedies by experience. It is upon facts such as these, that our science is now made rigidly one of induction. Simi lar facts have been accumulating for centuries, and as they are tan gible in their character, and susceptible of demonstration by every inquirer for himself, the constancy of their recurrence in the hands and under the eye of every observer, affords a protection against any considerable error or fallacy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture, Delivered in the Philadelphia College of Medicine: On Thursday Evening, November 2, 1848 As you make your curriculum of attendance you will observe that one portion of the topics which will be thus presented is theoretical, the other practical: the one furnishing you the basis of your knowledge, the other affording you a view of the opinions prevailing in the profession in relation to the most appropriate means of attaining the objects of the practitioner of the healing art. In the practical departments you will, as you advance, observe that the surgeon and obstetrician, pari passu, as they discover to you the various circumstances under which the great enemy of our common humanity, death, will offer himself for combat with your skill in their departments of the art, will place in your hands the weapons and appliances with which you should be provided for the encounter, and explain to you their uses; while in the practical department proper of medicine, which teaches the doctrine of the management of diseases that do not require manual or instrumental inter ference - so voluminous are the accumulations of centuries of observation and experience, that a subdivision of labor, hath, from time to which the memory of man reacheth not, been found necessary.

Book Introductory Lecture  Delivered on the Fifteenth of November  1830  Classic Reprint

This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture, Delivered on the Fifteenth of November, 1830 The domain of medical science is so extensive, that it is more or less identified with almost every department of human knowledge. It may indeed be compared to a majestic river, which, made up of innumerable tributary fountains, bears along one its bosom elements as heterogeneous as the sources from whence they are derived, yet all mutually en riching each other, and every where dispensing the bless ings of health and happiness. To explore all these numerous ramifications would be far beyond the competency of any mind, however powerful. Life is too short; human intellect, with all its boasted prerogatives, too feeble, ever to encompass even a fractional part of the endless and diversified themes, which blend themselves with this vast and God-like science, in the wonders of which, the mind becomes giddy, and imagination is lost in amazement. From this immense assem blage of subjects we have only selected a part, the important details of which it will be our unceasing endeavour to array before you in all their riches and power. Those which we have thought would be most deserving your attention are Jinatomy, Pysz'ology and the theory and practice of Sur gery. In the course of our labours, each of these depart; ments will be considered individually, but always with reference to the others. Indeed, each branch of medicine may be considered as constituting a separate member of a great fabric, which, though to a certain extent perfect, and independent in itself, to exbibit an effect rich and command ing, must be viewed in connexion with the other parts, with whicn it must be united to constitute a grand chefd'aeuvrcs, perfect ih all its parts. By this plan alone 'can their mutual influence and dependence be fairly made out, and renderedsubservient to the elucidation of valuable principles and corn elusions. In considering these subjects according to their natural relations and affinities, they become, as it were, in dissolubly connected, because they are thus made to ex bibit the order of their dependence; they mutually illustrate each other, and we are conducted, step by step, from those which are fundamental, to the ultimate details, which by a regular train of sequences arise out of them. In this we shall imitate the conduct of the architect, who having prepared a safe, and solid foundation, establishes upon it the materials of his edifice, which are then arranged in regular and har monious order, each being dependent for support, upon that on which it reposes, until the whole is completed, and ren dered secure in all its parts.

Indeed it is not the least among the wonders of the age, that intelligent and eu lightened men Will commit their own persons, their wives and little ones, their stomachs, lungs and brains, to the terrific experiments of quackery, until they become the self-immolated victims of these murderers of the human race.

Book Introductory Lecture Delivered in the Castleton Medical College  March 8  1842  Classic Reprint

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introductory Lecture Delivered in the Castleton Medical College, March 8, 1842 The Art of Healing is of ancient date. From the earliest ages men have sought to alleviate the pain of disease, and to ward off the stroke of death. In primitive times, rude as the art was, it assumed so high a dignity as to be associated with re ligion; the Priests were the first Physicians. And although a tolerablv rational system of practice was created by Hippocrates two thousand years ago, it is certain that up to a comparatively late period, even among civilized nations, to possess skill in the use of remedies was to secure the reputation, whether for good or evil, of mastering inexplicable powers, or of communing with the mysterious beings of another world. The Science of Medi cine is of later growth. The great Greek whom I have named, did, it is true, establish the fundamental principle of making ob servation the only rule in the treatment of disease; and since his time, in the course of centuries, there have been, as in all other branches of human knowledge, great men who have observed closely, thought profoundly, and by single discoveries assisted in preparing the way forthe true developement of the Science; but it is only within a very limited period, that the Newtonian prin ciple of arguing from phenomena without feigning hypotheses has been applied to this most important department of Science. Unfortunately for us, says Dr. Gedman, the perfection of' our Science is neither in proportion to its age nor to the revolu tions it has undergone. Yet this liability to change, both in doc trines and practice, is rapidly diminishing, as the diffusion of knowledge is promoted and extended by a more correct study of Nature. The charge of being a conjectural Art, must, at no dis tant period cease to be applicable, and the resources of our Sci ence know neither limit or circumscription, if all who engage in its cultivation be properly zealous in their exertions and true to the trusts they assume. There are at this day, Gentlemen, in our profession, many men who are thus true to the high trusts which they assumed on entering it. Through their labors the stock of medical truths is dai increasing, and that, too, by the application of the only legitimate mode of enlarging the bounda ries of our Science, an extensive induction of facts, the results of patient observation. And I have made these remarks, in or der to impress upon your minds, now, on the threshold of your studies, that the very basis of your Medical Education, is to be laid in the doctrine that our Science is an assemblage offacts as certained by observation. These may be combined into systems, or, for the sake of clearness and method, - generalized under some form of theory, but all speculation beyond these limits is less than nothing and vanity. Men may theorise elsewhere, but here they must not; the day for Medical hypotheses is over, The reproach of uncertainty has been deserved long enough.

Download or read book An Introductory Lecture on the Treatment of Disease written by Jacob Bigelow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture on the Treatment of Disease: Delivered Before the Medical Class at the Massachusetts Medical College, in Boston, November 3, 1852 It would at first seem that the exact sciences were those most worthy the cultivation of intelligent minds, inasmuch as they lead to satisfactory, and therefore to gratifying results; and because, in their more elevated departments, they involve and require some of the highest reaches of the human intellect. But in the opinions of mankind, as evinced by their practice, the opposite judgment prevails, and probably nine-tenths of the labor of educated and intellectual men, are employed on studies which are, in their nature, un certain and conjectural. The cause of this great ascendancy in the attention given to the inexact sciences, is to be found in the vast and paramount importance of their subjects, and also in the difficulty of consummating their great ends. It is much more important to mankind to know how to avoid anarchy and crime, war, famine, poverty and pestilence, than it is to know that the planet Saturn has a ring, or that a lily has six stamens, that light can be polarized, or that potass can be decomposed. Yet while the latter propositions are susceptible of absolute demonstration, the former processes, which bear directly on human happiness or misery, are fre quently removed beyond our foresight or control. The wisest men often fail to influence the destinies of states, families, and individuals, and the shrewdest calculators are baffled in regard to a coming crop, apecuniary crisis, a glut in the commercial market, or a change in the public morals. Nevertheless, the wise man conscious of superior talent, and the phi lanthropist desirous of the public weal, and even the interested man who looks to his personal advantage and progress, must give themselves and their energies to studies which involve the immediate wants of their fellow-men, even though their best directed efforts should fail of the desired results. And the simple reason is, that if the best qualified minds decline to undertake this task, it will most assuredly be assumed by the ignorant and presumptuous.
