Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Recent Advances in Science, and Their Bearing on Medicine and Surgery
The more complete the body of any one science the more useful does that science become as a means of training, and hence it is that advance of science has a double bearing on the medical profession. As each science grows, not only does its new knowledge bring to the doctor new facts and new ideas, new keys to Open locked problems, and new tools to use day by day, but the incorporated knowledge gains greater and greater power as an instrument to train his mind rightly to use all the facts which come before him.
Let me, in the light of this view, call your attention for a moment to the yoke of compulsory studies under which the young Huxley had to bend his somewhat unruly neck, and compare it with the like yoke which presses, heavily it seems to some, on the neck of the young student of today.
