Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Thoughts Concerning Disease and Recovery in Their Relation to Therapeutics: The Annual Oration Delivered Before the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland at Their Ninety-Eighth Annual Meeting, April 30, 1896 Mr. President and members OF the medical and chirurgical faculty: I thank you for your kind reception and for the honor which you have done me in asking me to address you upon this occasion. The comparatively brief period which has elapsed since I received your kind invitation has been unfortunately much encroached upon by col lege work, and especially the exhausting tedium of examinations, so that I have been compelled to set down hurriedly the thoughts I have wished to lay before you, and have lacked time to trim away redundancies and repetitions, supply omissions, or endeavor to impart rhetorical polish. Thus, from lack of opportunity to condense, that which was in tended as an exordium has grown into a dis course, and I shall have to content myself' with but a fragmentary presentation-bf the important practical applications of the prin ciples sought to be explicated. Some of the difficulties experienced in finding words and phrases that should embody in a definite and intelligible form the views I desire to submit for your consideration, are due to my own in adequacy; but at least a part of the defects and imperfections of the address may, I trust, be generously attributed to the fact that the present state of knowledge in medicine and collateral sciences does not furnish us with exact and definite words and phrases for the fundamental factors of many of the most im portant pathologic and therapeutic processes; or in other words, while in certain trains of observation and induction the first and last terms have been established with a reason able degree of certainty, intermediate terms are still in doubt and obscurity.
