Book Description

Not connected, as the members of other professions in most countries are, with the government or the politics of the state, physicians have the widest field Opened for the cultivation of those magna ulmous international feelings which devotion to the same pur suits is so admirably calculated to engender, and which habits formed and cherished by familiarity with the sciences are so likely to cement and render indissoluble.
