Excerpt from The History of Medicine in Its Salient Features

IN the Closing days of 1917 I was asked to give a course of lectures on the history of medicine. This book is the outcome of my attempt to comply with the request made at that time. The course of lec tures, given in the first place in the early weeks of 1918, followed the lines of the present table of con tents. My auditors were third-year students in one of the American Schools of Medicine, and the plan of presentation was more or less consciously dictated, at the start, by the recollection of what had Chal lenged my curiosity and aroused my attention about the time I had attained a like standing as a student of medicine. Questions and Class discussions evoked by the lectures in 1918 and the three subsequent years suggested, however, certain modifications of the initial treatment of the subject and indicated in what directions additions and elucidations were most desirable.
