Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, Vol. 37: A Weekly Review of Medicine, January to June, 1883, Inclusive Turning to literature, we shall find that none the more does that pursuit afford a refuge for those who wish to cut loose from the practice of medicine, for a fondness for literary work is prone to show itself, if ever, earlier in a man's life than the time at which he usually enters upon the study of medicine, therefore it may divert many from ever engaging in medical study, but can scarcely draw off many who have already gone through with the curriculum. This we say in spite of Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes's recent renunciation of his position as a teacher of anatomy, for the. Purpose of devoting his whole time to literature. His life-long prominence in the little knot of American writers of excellence would vitiate any contradiction that-the instance might be taken as opposing to our statement, even if he had ever been 'a practitioner of medicine, and cer tainly that occupation has never formed any considerable part of his career.
