Popular passages
Page 172 - A Yearly Digest of Scientific Progress and Authoritative Opinion in all branches of Medicine and Surgery, drawn from journals, monographs, and text-books of the leading American and Foreign authors and investigators.
Page 478 - GOD GIVE US MEN God give us Men. A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy, Men who possess opinions and a will, Men who have honor, men who will not lie. Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking, Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking; For while the rabble with their thumb-worn creeds,...
Page 355 - The knowledge which a man can use is the only real knowledge, the only knowledge which has life and growth in it, and converts itself into practical power. The rest hangs like dust about the brain, or dries like raindrops off the stones.
Page 178 - For certainly it is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his reader is sure to skip them •, and in the plainest possible words, or his reader will certainly misunderstand them.

Page 479 - THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years? They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, And that cannot stop their tears. The young lambs are bleating in the meadows, The young birds are chirping in the nest, The young fawns are playing with the shadows, The young flowers are blowing toward the west — But the young, young children, O my brothers, They are weeping bitterly! They are weeping in the playtime of the others,...
Page 211 - June, 1897, bids fair to surpass in the character of the entertainment, the scientific papers, and the number in attendance, any meeting which has heretofore been held. The Committee in Charge have been able to obtain large and roomy places of meeting for the general meetings and the Section meetings, all within a single block and within very short walking distance or immediately adjacent to the largest and most comfortable of the Philadelphia hotels. For the week preceding and following the meeting...
Page 29 - This decision seems to me to be wrong, for the following reasons : 1. It prevents the dissemination of medical knowledge. The YearBook condenses, systematizes and criticises the year's medical work in a shorter space and more permanent manner than the journals, and has thousands of readers no single journal can claim, or hope to reach. Every physician writes and publishes articles in order that every member of the profession may, if possible, learn of his work, and that science and progress may thus...
Page 211 - ... or immediately adjacent to the largest and most comfortable of the Philadelphia hotels. For the week preceding and following the meeting the committee of arrangements have also arranged for clinical courses which will be open without charge to all physicians who may visit the city at that time. These courses cover every branch in medicine and its specialties and will afford visitors the opportunity of seeing the active clinical work of all the great teachers of Philadelphia, which is now, as...
