Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Medical Men of the Revolution In this connection I would fain make an effort to rescue from that oblivion which time remorselessly throws over all human actions the names of those patriots of the revolutionary period belonging to our profession whose biographies have not yet been written, in order to preserve and perpetuate their memory and their noble deeds. Believing that such an endeavor will he preferred by you to the stringing together of sentences of praise to our College, and eulogies of the Faculty and her graduates, I will consider briefly, in passing, the medical profession in the colonies during the struggle for American Independence, and the part it took in that memorable drama. That period in our history was one which required the aid of every citizen who had the intelligence to appreciate liberty and the courage to oppose tyranny. I aim not to eulogize - but to collect material and present a few facts from which history may be written. From a review of the various actors on the stage of American affairs, it appears that, when the principles of free government were being evolved and matured, 110 class of society or profession seemed to have deserved higher praise for its efforts to promote this result than that of the physician. By education, and by constant association with all classes, the medical man becomes acquainted with every shade of opinion and every requirement of his day and country. His habit of analyzing the feelings, views, and expressions of the people, makes him their confidant and the efficient and popular counsellor among the masses on all questions of common interest. Historians have over and over again eulogized the statesman, the orator, the soldier, and the clergyman, who took part in those efforts for independence, but the services of the physician and surgeon have been almost entirely overlooked, if not forgotten.
