Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the Thirty-Fifth Session of the Homeopathic Medical Society of the State if Pennsylvania: Held at Philadelphia, September 26, 27, and 28, 1899 It is the centre Of medical education, and I doubt that all the rest of our American cities combined have as many medi cal students and turn out as many eminent medical practitioners as the city of Philadelphia. New York is a great metropolis - cosmopolitan, metropolitan, Bohemian, as it were, and its in habitants are proud of the distinctive position it occupies in this country; but it is merely a landing-place for people who wish to come here. They have very few students of medicine compared with us. In legal matters, too, we will not yield first place to any community. About a year ago some of the lawyers of New York State and city endeavored to handle a certain question before the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington and, when the others failed, it was left for a man from the Philadelphia bar, John G. Johnson, who came from the lower rounds of the ladder, to win the case. So you see, people come to Philadelphia for all good things, whether in medicine or law. While we do not boast of our advanced position, we have it. It is wise that you should meet in your annual conclaves for the purpose of interchanging your thoughts it is beneficial to meet for a common purpose, for a common good, and also to cement fraternity and unanimity in the work in which you are all engaged - in the art of healing. We do not appreciate health until we lose it, and then we begin to look to our doctor, and he has to hold us in a few days on account of our having abused ourselves for many months and. Years. It is a hard matter to do to tell a sick man to be quiet and keep still and take the medicines; and, while you have your particular qualifications, particular lines of practice, and special methods of treatment.
