Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Annual Meeting of the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina, 1885 Your purposes are commendable - to raise the standard of professional labor in the State, and to inspire the spirit of careful inquiry and communication in those subtle and mysterious things which ever aid in producing new pains and disease. Your duty is nobly to guard the life and health of our people from the trifling of men who seek to impose upon us the pleading of ignorance and fatal mistake. Your profession, gentlemen, deserves well the merit of being regarded one of the three learned professions. I have always considered if there be one profession more than another that requires greater zeal, more skill, more unselfish devotion, it is the profession of medicine. The human organ with which it has to deal is so sensitive, so delicate, so complicated, its derangements so considerable, its idiosyncrasies so enormous, so concealed from the observation of man, that the greatest discrimination, the profonndest labor is required to determine the nature of the disease that is preying upon the life of its victim. Such being your purpose, we cannot but respect yon. We know that the pessimistic philosopher may scorn, may undervalue yon in bis estimation, he may scorn the effort to lengthen the span of the human life, still the care of human suffering, the desire to protect life and health, will drown the scorn of his stagnant, nnprogressive philosophy. We hid you welcome to our town. We delight to extend to you the cordial invitation of our hospitality, and we wish during this Convention that your labors may produce to you the most satisfactory results. While you are here we wish you a pleasant visit. It will be our pride and our fondest pleasure to point out to you those industries that the thrift, and enterprise and energy of our people have established, and that have extended the reputation and name of Durham to wherever the foot of civilized man treads the earth. Then, gentlemen, I bid yon welcome to the town of Durham in the name of its corporation and its people. President McDuffie appropriately acknowledged on behalf of the Society the hospitable invitation of the citizens of Durham, and returned thanks for the same.
