Book Description

Excerpt from Practical Observations on Strangulated Hernia, and Some of the Diseases of the Urinary Organs The fathers of the medical profession in the days of my pupilage are gone - but thou art still among us. Permit one who knew thee in the vigour of manhood, and listened with deep instruction to thy private lectures, before thy elevation to a Professor's Chair, thus publicly to acknowledge the numerous acts of kindness and confidence received at thy hands. Under these feelings, can I do other than cherish recollections of the past, accompanied with a desire, that now, when the shadows of evening are lengthened out, consolations may gather thickly around thee, soothed by the consciousness of a faithful discharge of duty, and remembering that a grateful community are prepared to acknowledge that thy "lamp has burned for the good of others?"
