Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stray Leaves From a Physician's Portfolio Most physicians are peripatetics and stroll from time to time from the professional Lyceum into the shady walks that branch out of it in so many directions. In such excursions I have freely indulged, and the records of a few of them are here collected. I cannot plead that it is the persuasions of friends that have induced me to publish or republish these heterogeneous essays and addresses. Nothing of the kind. They survive because of my personal concern that they should be rescued from the oblivion of bygone magazines and from crumbling in the domestic muniment chest of discarded papers, together with the impression - well-or ill-founded - that some of them may contain something worthy of remembrance. Their preparation has given occupation in leisure hours and relaxation amidst anxious duties, and it is hoped that their perusal may interest their readers.
