Excerpt from The Southern Practitioner, Vol. 12: An Independent Monthly Journal, Devoted to Medicine and Surgery; May, 1890

I know not how I could better occupy the few minutes al lowed me on this occasion than by inviting, in a purely suggest ive form, your attention to the recent progress in our profession. And yet, in attempting the performance of this duty, I am admon iehed that there are so many members of the society more famil iar than I am with the theory and practice of medicine, that pru dence, as well, I trust, as a becoming degree of modesty, re quires that I direct your attention to that branch of our profes sion to which I am exclusively devoted. I therefore beg your indulgence while briefly alluding to the recent progress in surgi cal science. The courage, the prudence, the wisdom, the patient industry, the zeal, the accurate observation, the critical examina tion, the continuous contemplation, the superior learning, and the great ability engaged in the advancement and development of this department of our noble science and art have been crowned with the happiest results.
