Excerpt from Second Inaugural Address Delivered Before the New York Academy of Medicine, February 3, 1881 I regret to say in regard to my immediate predecessor, who by his noble gifts of books made a library hall for the Academy of Medicine an imperative necessity, that unless he make haste to redeem the time by matrimony, his stamp of nobility is not likely to be perpetuated by descendants in a direct line.

Excerpt from Inaugural Address Delivered Before the New York Academy of Medicine Medical knowledge and reasoning which is best known by the name of the Vienna school. I shall have to con sider its representatives shortly, with all its virtues and faults, both of which were learned and loaned from the illustrious Frenchman. For not only did he convey to them his anatomical way of thinking, but he also taught them to be satisfied with coarse local anatomical lesions, and with a nominal diagnosis, adding the assurance that those lesions must lead to death that indeed the case is either getting well spontaneously, or is absolutely hope less, and that a treatment of any kind is powerless.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ninth Annual Introductory Address, Delivered Before the Class of the Medical Department of the University of Nashville, November 7, 1859 A great difficulty connected with this subject, as already inti mated, is, that the action of medicine is a perfect mystery, especially to the uninformed. Hence priestcraft and witchcraft have been invoked, and a seventh son has been preferred to the most erudite physician. There is nothing in the appearance or the physical qualities of opium, or ipecac., which would indicate that the one would act upon the brain and the other upon the stomach. These facts are only known from observation. And we forget that in medicine, as any where else in nature, for every effect there must not only be a cause, but an adequate cause; and that consequently such medication as can of necessity produce no physiological change, can at all relieve disease, and that the therapeutical effect of a remedy is but the result of its physiological action. This point I think has been greatly obscured by establishing a difference between the therapeutical and physiological effects of remedies. I know that disease modifies the effect of a remedy; but still the tendency of every remedy is to produce the same physiological changes in health as in disease, and it is only by effecting physiological changes that health is restored.

Book Description
Excerpt from The President's Address Delivered Before the Association of American Physicians, at Its Eleventh Annual Meeting at Washington, D. C., April 30, 1896 The normal vital processes depend on two pow ers, the cells and the blood. The very structure and function of the former are acted upon or built up by the latter. Thusit appears as our master Virchow has lately pointed out, that finally we return to a species of humoral pathology, but not indeed to the crases and dia theses of old. For modern humoral pathology looks for the presence in the blood of actual agents mostly of chemical nature. Part of them has been shown to be so; in the case of others we have to rely on inferences. Still, with peptones, aceton, sugar, with acetic, lactic, oxalic, uric, and oxybutyric acids in the blood we are fairly ac quainted; and the discovery of Fraenkel's thy reo-antitoxin proves to what extent the action of the organic juices is mainly, if not altogether chemical. The interests of the practitioner and his patients, of medical science and the commonwealth, are equally served by these views when tested by practice. As an Association we have to deal with the interests of science and of the community; of the latter even more than it is willing to under stand or to admit. We, however, need not be exhorted to continue our work. The misunder stood sympathy with the alleged sufferings of ani mals, and the agitations of the anti-vivisectionists - no matter whether merely misinformed or fanat ical - must not swerve us from studying, from learning, and from serving mankind by combining our efforts for public purposes. The hygienic in terests of the community are, or ought to be, in our keeping. Your Association being the scientific representative of internal medicine in America, ought to be recognized all over the Union as the scientific law-giver. What the New York Acad emy of Medicine is calculated to become for New York City, this Association ought to be able to be for the Union and beyond it through the scientific labors of its members. In order, however, to at tain this destiny, let us not forget that medicine must be one and inseparable, now and forever.

Book Description
Excerpt from Introductory Address, Delivered at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York: October 16, 1855 If we are sometimes tempted to think that medicine has, so far, made little progress, it is only because the subject is so complicated and its extent so boundless. The avenues that it opens to us stretch out so far into the future that the space already passed over seems small in comparison. But it is small in comparison only. In every complicated department of human knowledge progress is at first slow and difficult, opposed by obstacles, retarded by unavoidable errors, which must be corrected by subsequent examination. The pioneers of Medicine had no royal road to follow. Their landmarks were few, and easily mistaken. Their route led over intricate passes or through close and tangled thickets. Sometimes they were obliged to cross trembling and insecure morasses and sometimes, withlaborious strokes of the hammer and crowbar. They must force their way through ledges of the solid rock. What wonder is it that they were sometimes misled by false landmarks, and wandered off into impassable wastes, or were misled into devious by-paths, that carried them backward while they thought themselves advancing? Standing now on the eminence to which they have brought us, we can look back and see the windings, and faults, and doublings of their track. But if we had to begin where they begun, and to go over now the same ground, we should commit at least as many errors as they. Let us not suppose, then, because we are sometimes ob liged to discard as error what was a year ago held as truth, that for that reason all previous labors were fruitless, and we are still beginning at the beginning. That is not the case. These errors were only a part of our previous acquisition. They were the unavoidable mistakes, made in first studying an intricate subject; - and by continued perseverance they are successively sifted out, while that which is absolutely true remains behind, slowly but constantly accumulating.
