Excerpt from The New England Medical Gazette, 1908, Vol. 43: A Monthly Journal of Homeopathic MedicineThe missionary spirit of our fathers needs cultivation. Our patients need to have impressed on them the advantages of our system of practice. Our desirable young men should enter our medical school. Our older men should endow it.The palatable preparations of the manufacturing chemist, the office dispensing of many old school physicians, the increasing dis belief in drugs among the laity and professional men, the diminished puking, purging, sweating and blood letting, and the larger use of alkaloids in small sugar-coated pills have led many of the public to think there is little if any difference between the two schools Of medicine. The idea has been fostered by physicians who wished to pose as broad minded, liberal practitioners of both systems, but who really practised neither. Every. Member present knows there is a deep gulf of. Principle and practice which never will be bridged by a compound tablet or the alkaloids in a little sugar-coated pill. Nothing short Of thorough education in both schools will make it possible for a doctor to select from either the treatment he may desire for a special case. It is to be hoped that such a training in medicine will be universal at an early period.The medical school and hospital exist only in part for the undergraduate. They also Offer opportunity for special research and study for the post graduate. The doctor with the ink fresh on his diploma has received only the preliminary education for his real professional work. It is but an introduction to a larger life of work and study if he will live to the utmost of his Opportunities.The University of Berlin for many years has given courses of a fortnight each for graduate students between the regular terms Of undergraduate instruction. A plan which might be worthy of imitation in an institution which aims to instruct its students and to help its graduates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
