Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of the Medical Department of the Georgetown College: Session 1860-61 The law in almost all civilized countries has declared that no insane person shall be punished for any crime, and the fact of insanity is generally proven by competent testimony, in which our profession holds the most important position and there may occasionally float through your minds, as there does through the unprofessional, that there is some reality in the plea set up. It is well known and accepted by our profession that there is no insanity without a diseased brain: a corporeal disease is the best and only true test of If the brain and nervous system are in health, the mind can and does perform its functions, and no act performed by the volition of that mind should be separated from responsibility.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of the Medical Department of Georgetown College: Delivered at the Smithsonian Institution March 8, 1860 Every year is adding to the opportunities for the cultivation of the various sciences which contribute to the development of the resources of Medicine, by unfolding a knowledge of new laws of nature, applicable to the investigation and treat ment of Disease; much more, therefore, will be required of you than of your predecessors. Medicine is ceasing to be an art, dependent upon Observation and experience alone; it is assuming the precision of a Science. Examination through the sense of hearing, has been added in our day; regions hidden from the sight may now be explored by the Stethe scope - the practised ear detecting with perfect accuracy the very commencement of disease, which, in former days, was only seen in results, and when too late for the efficacy of remedies. This instrument is to the ear what the microscope is to the eye, and its introduction forms an epoch in Medicine. By the aid of Chemical Science, the modern, Physician is enabled to examine minutely the various fluids and solids of the body, thereby detecting disease in its inception, viewing it in its progress, and estimating so exactly its character, as to render simple the means of prevention and of cure. By the same assistance, the nature of remedial agents is disclosed - the active separated from the inert principles, and made more efficient in their application to the removal of disease.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valedictory Address to the Graduating Class of the Medical Department of Georgetown College: Delivered at the Smithsonian Institution, March 12, 1857 It is cheering to be conscious that the knowledge which we have gained has been of vast service to our fellow-men. An examination of vital statistics will demonstrate a progressive improvement. For ex ample, in 1805, one in every seven admitted to the Paris hospitals died; now, only one in twelve, an increase of 71 per cent. In 51 years. In the persons annually passing through these hospitals, there is a saving of 500 persons as compared with former years. Formerly the time of treatment was an average of 39 days, now 24 days. In syphilitic diseases, one formerly died in every,56 cases, now only one in 294. The average of mortality has changed during the last 71 years from one in 20 dying to one in 40 in this day. In surgical practice, more than 35 per cent. Has been gained since the beginning of the present century. The average duration of life has been increased, during the past 66 years, nine and a half years. In obstetrical practice, 150 years since one in 40 died, now not one in 250. From the best returns there, appears to be a gain of 25 per cent. Of cure in the past 75 years, and the average time of treatment lessened more than one-third. Disease, too, is greatly shorn of its terrors to the people by the improvements in medical science. The discovery of ether and chloroform has caused the knife of the surgeon to be no longer dreaded by the patient; but, under the Lethean influence of these anesthetics, he calmly slumbers on his passage from the brink of the grave to the commencement of a new career of health and vigor. The plagues of the earth, formerly deci mating the population, are no longer legitimate objects of terror. Small pox is changed from a desolating disease to one comparativelymild and manageable. Cholera, too, when taken in what is now known to be its only curable stage, need no longer be considered fatal. Marsh miasm, which formerly robbed the fairest portions of God's created land of its beauties and its comforts, and shrouded its inhabit ants with the gloom of death, or enfeebled them with wasting decay, no longer holds supremacy - no longer dooms to death the victim who enters its domi'nions in the pursuit of pleasure or of business - no longer.
