Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Lecture, on the Best Mode of Discouraging Empiricism: Delivered Before the Ohio Medical Lyceum, January, 1843
And then the pride of proselytism mingles its delusion in this cup of intoxication, and the mind becomes fired With a glowing zeal for the reputation of the empiric employed, until, at last, you find men eager to abet. Some ignorant, presumptious dealer in physic, who would have disdained to permit such a man to act as their guide, or counsellor in the lowest grades of human service. But to visit the sick, to sit in authoritative decision on the disordered states of that body so ingeniously wrought by a Divine workmanship, and balanced in its various parts with such nice adaptations and reciprocal ties, this is a work of such easy attainment that any one may assume the office, irrespective of Special and protracted preparation for the task.
