Excerpt from The Old Hospital, and Other Papers

The central idea of the papers is an attempt to define and adjust the relations of the medical pro fession to the community which it serves. It is hoped however that this idea is not so prominent as to prevent the papers from being of some ih terest to all educated people, even if they do notfeel themselves particularly concerned in the main topic. Indeed the writer will have attained at least a part of his purpose in issuing this little book, if he shall succeed in securing readers who have hitherto believed that a doctor's point of view of affairs in general is necessarily a narrow one. It is true that our chief functions are to avert disease, and when this is impossible, to administer drugs and use the knife, but we are still men and breth ren equally interested with our fellows of other call ings in all that concerns the welfare of the com munity at large.
