Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Experience of a Physician, With an Appeal to the Medical and Clerical Professions: And an Appendix, a Review of "Christ and the Temperance Question" In the Christian Union We all admit that every one who attempts m act as a phy sician, should strive to qualify himself, oor herself, for the work by obtaining the best education which our medical schools ell'ord; for to physicians are intrusted, not simply the property or money, but the very lives of their fellow-citizens As the responsibility is great, so the duty of preparing one's self before commencing practice, and of keeping fully abreast of all new and valuable discoveries in the art of healing, is equally great. A physician should not be led blindly by his teachers and prominent medial writers, and so strongly con firm himself in the theories and views which they proclaim that he cannot, without prejudice, examine new views and theories with due care. It has been said that when Harvey discovered the true course of the circulation of the blood, there was not a single professor in the medical colleges of England over fifty years of age, who ever believed the heresy, as his discovery was called. However this may have been, it is certain that professors and prominent medical writers are not always the first to see and recognize the truth, even when it is clearly presented to their notice.
