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, .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of American Medicine, 1776-1876 When Boerhaave, the most accomplished and celebrated physician of the 18th century, died, he left behind him an elegant volume, the title-page of which declared that it contained all the secrets of medicine. On opening the volume every page, except one, was blank. On that one was written, "keep the head cool, the feet warm, and the bowels open." This legacy of Boerhaave to suffering humanity typified, not inaptly or unjustly, the acquirements, not of medical science, but of medical art at the close of the 18th century. Empiricism, authority, and theory ruled the medical practice of the world at that time. The result of therapeutical experience from Hippocrates to Boerhaave was fairly summed up by the latter in the eleven words we have just quoted. To quiet the nervous system, to equalize the circulation, to provide for the normal action of the intestinal canal, and to leave all the rest to the vis medicatrix nattir was sound medical treatment, and it was as far as a sound therapeutics had gone a hundred years ago. This goal had been reached by empiricism. Wise practitioners like Boerhaave, Sydenham, Morgagni, and a few others, were content to restrain their materia medica within these modest limits.

It is now issued in a separate form for distribution among my professional brethren, and such persons as may feel a desire to peruse it. The composition cost me much labor, but it was a labor of love, designed to show our people how much earnest work we have done during the century now about to close of our existence as an independent power in the interests of medical science, and in upholding the national honor. Like Rousseau's Ode to Posterity, the booklet may never reach its destination; but if it should be so fortunate, it may, perchance, serve as a connecting link between the glorious Past and what a hundred years hence will undoubtedly be a grand and brilliant Present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Physician in Turkey: A Narrative of Adventures in Peace and in War When I began this book I meant to write only of the siege and flight and the events that led up to them, preceding these chapters by a chap ter or two of travel experiences and memorable conversations with Turk and Christian, but I was persuaded, instead, to tell the whole story of my life in Turkey. Should there seem to be too much ego in these reminiscences, its presence may be explained by the fact that while writing I have seemed to myself to be conversing with those whom I have met face to face, and talked to from lecture platform and in hospitable homes all over the United States for the last two years: listeners who have shown and expressed such kind interest in my personal experiences that I have been tempted to enter into considerable detail in the present volume, which is intended especially for their perusal.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Medicine, Vol. 19: January-December, 1913 Foreign names wholly different from those of pre-revolutionary families seem to monopolize many lines of industry. All this rather hints at racial decadence of the old stock, but it must be remembered that new conditions require new types which would have.been utter failures in the colonies, and that even George Wash ington might have been as much out of place in modern New York as was Gen eral Grant in Wall Street. There is no question that both factors are true. Mr. Wilson might have been a failure among the farming communities of the 17th cen tury, but he seems to fit into new condi tions and has lost little, if any, of the energy of his foreign born grandfather. In any case, he shows that the nation's destinies are drifting into the hands of those whose ancestors came to America in the 19th century, long after the nation be came a great reality. The old stock is being elbowed to one side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
