Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Voice From the Pious Dead of the Medical Profession: Or, Memoirs of Eminent Physicians Who Have Fallen Asleep in Jesus With a Preliminary Dissertation on the Cross; As the Key to All Knowledge
Dr. Gordon is not so generally known to Amer ican physicians, but his memoir presents no com mon character, and the most rigid judgment will assign him no inferior position in the profession or in general science. His testimony is radiant With a glory which shines forth with an\unusual brightness amid the breaking clouds of death. It is furnished as an instance of that complete triumph which the word of God declares the Christian's faith will accomplish over the terrors of the last hour. The case of Dr. Broughton belongs more especially to those of our brethren who are enlisted in the naval service; whilst that of Dr. Capadose must possess peculiar interest for those of them who claim to be the natural de scendants of Abraham.
To medical men of every class these Memoirs come with singular force, involving, as they do, the modes of thought, the associations, and the difficulties common to the medical profession. Their testimony is as the united voice of breth ren of the same toils, proclaiming a heavenly rest to the weary pilgrim. It comes, too, unembar rassed with any considerations of interest, or mere purpose of sect gor calling.
