Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introductory Address Delivered to the Students of Washington College, on Tuesday Evening, May 14, 1850
The same knowledge which will enable the indisposed to judge of their need of medical advice, will capacitate them, to a great extent, for judging of the qualifications of the adviser. This is a matter of so much importance, that I feel constrained to speakof it particularly, and more for the purpose of protecting you from the evils of quackery, than of venturing on any defence of the Profession of Medicine.
