Book Description
Excerpt from A Chronology of Medicine, Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern, 1880: Being a Historical, an Antiquarian,& a Curious Survey of the Birth Growth of Medicine From the Earliest Times to the Present Day In preparing this work for publication I was animated by a desire to place before the general public such a work on the rise and progress of medicine, in all its departments, as should be popularly readable. Avoiding all technicalities, I have sought to show how the healing art first grew up, and how through the centuries it has advanced, with slow but certain steps, until, in spite of opposition engendered by ignorance, and fostered by superstition, medicine has triumphed over all difficulties, freed herself from all trammels, and won for herself the first position amongst the sciences.
