Book Description
Excerpt from History of Medicine and Surgery and Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago It will be noted that the manner of presenting the biographies of physi eiaus and surgeons of the past differs from the usual, or formal, style of biography, especially in the leads to the articles. Instead of always giving the place and date of birth in the initial paragraph, followed by a record of the life in chronological order, an attempt has been made to call to the reader's attention at the outset the outstanding features in each career and to limit the record of the life to actual facts. It is hoped that this change will not be unwelcome. The arrangement of the historical sections is in chronological order. The biographies of physicians and surgeons, following those of the surgeons of Fort Dearborn, which appear in the order of their service, are arranged ac cording to the dates of birth. The histories of medical colleges, hospitals and medical societies are printed, in their respective sections, in the order of their organization.
