Excerpt from Dr. Lyman Spalding: The Originator of the United States Pharmacopœia; Co-Laborer With Dr. Nathan Smith in the Founding of the Dartmouth Medical School and Its First Chemical Lecturer

Dr. Edward Jenner was his God. His letters here first printed throw new light on the introduction of vaccination into America.

Dr. John Warren (1753-1816) was graduated from Harvard in 1771 and began the study of medicine with his brother, Joseph, who was killed at Bunker Hill. John practiced first at Salem, but at the Opening Of the Revolution was appointed Surgeon' s Mate In the Army, rose to a full Surgeoncy, and at one time had sole charge of a large Hospital. After the War, he settled in Boston and became a great man. He was Professor Of Surgery for twenty years in the Medical School, and his most famous operation was an amputation at the shoulder joint. He did more than any other physician to cause the removal Of the School to Boston as a better field for clinical instruction than at Cambridge. Eloquent as a speaker he wrote but little on medicine. He was famous for speed, and it is said that funeral pro cemions would open for him on his furious way to his patients. Dr. Warren was much of a public man, did considerable surgery, had an extensive practice and was regarded as the best man in Boston.
