This book was released on 2017-05-13 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Are We to Have an United Medical Profession? A very common thing is for one graduated from a col lege where homeopathy is not taught, to enter upon practice a confirmed opponent of homeopathy - a system of which he has acquired none but most superficial impressions. This statement is abundantly illustrated in An Address to Some Students in a N on-h omeopathic Medical College contained in this book. The young gentlemen asking these questions were within a few weeks of graduation. I have not had the pleasure of further acquaintance with any of them, but the presumption is that within a few weeks of formulating their questions they had assumed relations in medical socie ties which, to say the least, did not conduce to any further knowledge of homeopathy. To graduates of old-school colleges who feel that they lack satisfactory knowledge of what homeopathy really is, I commend this book confident of its adequacy to their needs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of Medicine in the United States But there is a still more cogent reason why we should accept this responsibility, namely, because we are now ready and able to take the place we should hold in medicine. The war has brought about far-reaching changes in the country. It has, as Lord F rench says, made a nation of us. Under the great leadership of President Wilson the whole essence of our destiny has been crystallized, and we move forward unified by a national consciousness, no longer North or South, or East or West, but one people irresistible in the resolve to accomplish our purpose. The war has brought about far-reaching changes in medicine because we have gained a national consciousness. The country no longer regards medicine merely as a learned profession, but is coming to consider it one of the essential indus tries. Sound public health is a necessary element in the will to Victory. The civil population unduly enfeebled by disease or discouraged by neglect cannot be expected to support a winning army. A11 signs give assurance that the government in its wisdom will provide adequate medical attention for the people, prevent relaxation in the safeguards against epidemics, and restrict the spread of disease to the limits normal in peace-time. In another critical relation the efforts of the medical profession have become indispensable to final success. The vast detail of the health of an army is in the hands of its medical corps. F ailure here is almost as serious as defeat by the enemy. The selection of the fit and rejection of the unfit, the supervision of sanitation, the prevention of disease, the stamping out of epidemics, the early detection of the physically and mentally unstable, to say nothing of adequate care and reconstruction of the sick and wounded, are matters of vital importance to troops in the field. The war has shown us the possibilities of medicine carried out intensively in all its branches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past, the Present, and the Future of the Medical Profession in the United States of America: Being a General Introductory to the Course of Lectures in the Third Session of the Kentucky School of Medicine The fourth peculiarity of the present era came as a sort of expedient, that many supposed to be indispensable, and well calculated to remedy existing evils, if remedy were possible. We allude to conventions of physicians from every part of the United States, to be held annually in different places, for the avowed purpose of elevating the profession. Nor do we doubt that some who have embarked most heartily in this enterprise, have been moved by the best motives. Far be it from us to think otherwise. Yet there are too many living facts on record, to permit us for a moment to doubt, that very many of the primary agitators were governed by the most selfish considerations, not the least of which was a marked propensity to exonorate themselves from blame, and to criminate others who have demeaned themselves far more honorably in respect of the great professional interests with which they are identified.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Medical Profession, the Medical Sects, the Law: The Address in Medicine, Yale University, 1889 The American medical profession has in it a multitude of rightly educated physicians, but it comprises also an enormous number who are but partially educated in their profession. Of all places in the universe, - ih America there are doctors and doctors. The American medical profession cannot be in any degree held responsible for its condition, not merely because it has no power over its own members after they have entered, but especially because it has no control over the gates through which men flock into it. In some States, the law allows any one to set up as a doctor who wishes whilst where there is any law regulating the mode of entrance into the profession, - such law usually puts the power of granting the right to practice into the hands of the medical college. To be sure the medical college is nominally required to examine the candidates and to shut out the unfit. Almost any small group of physicians can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Medicine, Vol. 1 The improvement has been great, but neither the medical profession nor the. Public can afford to rest con tented. There can be no question but that the mortality rates are capable of still greater reduction. The means of bringing about this improvement are largely in the hands of the members of the medical profession and are indicated in Dr. Reynold's summary. The public needs further education in regard to sanitary matters and the medical profession needs to make more united efforts to bring about reforms in municipal legislation which will still further improve the efficiency of medical inspection of schools, the examination of the food, the bacterial diag nosis of disease and the improvement of water supply. A New Use for an Old Remedy. Dr. F. C. Gram, Registrar of the Buffalo Health Department, has observed that vaccination exerts an influence on grip not hitherto noticed by medical writers. The health-authorities of that city have just concluded a general vaccination, the work being done at a time when the city was in the throes of one of the fiercest epidemics of grip which it has had for years. Dr. Gram noticed that simultaneously with the manifestations of vaccination the grip disappeared. He then experimented on himself, as well as on others, in whom grip had been diagnosed, and in each case the disease was aborted, leaving the patient without any of those annoying and persistent sequels, which are some times worse than the disease itself.

This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Lecture on the Comparative State of the Profession of Medicine, and of Medical Education, in the United States and Europe: Session 1846-47 IT cannot be denied, gentlemen, that there are peculiarities in our profession which, especially at an early period of its history, exposed it to the sneers of the censorious and the ridicule of the satirist; and that it has been at times assailed by the most caustic Wit and biting sarcasm. But Within the last half century it has assumed a dignity which has, to a great extent, Shielded it from the shafts of ill-nature and ridicule. The numerous illustrious names that have, in that time, graced its annals, and the vast benefits it has manifestly conferred upon mankind, has given to it a rank, and placed it in a position so strong, that it is rare, at present, to hear its claims questioned from any source worthy of attention. Of late, however, gentlemen, a spirit has arisen in some parts of this country, and Within the pale of the profession, as it seems to me, most hostile to its best interests. Attempts have been made to impress the public with the belief that the profession here is in a most de graded state. In one journal especially, in which more accurate knowledge and a different Spirit might have been expected, a regular onslaught has been made on the members of the profession and medical schools of the United States. The most serious charges have been brought, and allegations made under the authority of respectable names, which, if true, demand our most serious attention. As you, gentlemen, are about to unite your destinies with those against Whom these grave charges have been preferred, it would seem particularly appropriate to this occasion to inquire as to their soundness and truth. It is my present purpose to do this in all candor, as far as the time will admit. These statements have been published with the signatures of their authors but as my objects are Opinions, not men, and as I/am desirous of avoiding every thing like personality, I shall merely advert to the communications themselves. Indeed, gentlemen, I disclaim, in this investigation, all personal feeling, and profess to be governed merely by pride of profession, and a sense of official duty.
