Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on Malpractice: Read by Appointment Before the Luzerne County Medical Society, at Wilkes-Barre, January 8th, 1879
HE necessities of civilized society require that a few of its members shall perform its more abstruse and difficult duties - perhaps I might say its higher duties; that they shall prepare themselves by a special course of mental training, and by diligent study and research, to promote the mental, the moral, and the physical well being of their fellow-men; that they shall so discipline their minds and inform their understandings as to enable them to bring into requisition all the available appliances of reason, of justice, and of science, to promote morality, to maintain order, to administer justice, to relieve suffer ing, and to prolong life.
