Also included is a final lecture on ulcers. Celebrated today as the "Father of American Surgery," Philip Syng Physick was among the few doctors who remained in Philadelphia to care for the sick during the city's devastating Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793. A surgeon at Pennsylvania Hospital (1784-1861) and professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania, Physick was one of the most sought-after medical lecturers of the 19th century. His lectures prepared a generation of surgeons for service throughout America, including Dr. Silas Cook. Born in 1791, Silas Cook was raised in Morristown, New Jersey and pursued his medical studies under the guidance of Dr. Lewis Condit, a leading Morris County physician. He attended Physick's medical lectures at the University of Pennsylvania during the winters of 1812 and 1813. Licensed to practice in 1813, he conducted a successful practice throughout New Jersey until 1842. From 1842 until 1857, he was located at Easton, Pennsylvania, where he was rated as one of Easton's most skillful and successful physicians. In 1857 he returned to Hackettstown, New Jersey, and continued in practice until his death in 1873. An important notebook documenting contemporary surgical procedures and the education of an early American doctor in the early 19th Century.
