Synopsis

Excerpt from Correlation of the Physical and Vital Forces: An Inaugural Address Introductory to the Course on Institutes of Medicine in the Jefferson Medical College, Delivered October 12, 1868

Over all the land Sickness, suffering and sorrow are daily and hourly supplicating the aid Of the skilful physician. In the city and in the country fever is momently drying up the ruddy streams of human life. From the beggar's miserable hut, from the comfortable homestead of the industrious mechanic, from the towering palace of the millionaire, goes up the cry of pain, from men and women, and from children, too, alike by day and night. At this very moment in the streets and alleys of the great city, in the quiet places of the country, on the broad prairie and in the depths of the forest, women are travailing in the bitter anguish of child-birth; at this very moment, also, on the broad prairie and in the wild woods, in the quietude of the country and amidst the bustle of the city, men and Women in the agony of the last hour are Speeding away from the familiar scenes of their daily hopes and fears, speeding away they know not, and it may be, reck not whither. By various roads they pass away, - ~by fever, inflamma tion and plague by dropsy, hemorrhage, palsy and a host of other ills; for the avenues of death are many indeed; and the grim monarch, never resting, never Sleeping, sits enthroned in the focus of these roads and laughs in triumph as one by one the sons of men come forward and lay at his bony feet the tribute of their lives.
