Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to the Spring Session of Lectures in Castleton Medical College
I have said that Medicine is a symmetrical science. By symmetrical in this relation, I intend to be understood, a due proportion of each mem ber or part in the category of medical science, according to a rule em bracing both its intrinsic qualities and practical valuation.
Thus we shall contemplate Medicine, both in the attractive garb of science, and as a system of facts and doctrines, designed by the great Author of nature, to be sought out and applied by man, as means of his highest temporal benefit.
