Excerpt from Oration on Surgery, Four Decades of American Surgery
Mr. President and Members of the Medical Society of New Jersey:
I desire to express my earnest thanks to this society for the kind invitation extended by the worthy Chairman of your Scientific Committee to be present this evening and deliver the oration on surgery. Let me assure you it affords me much pleasure to be recognized by such earnest workers in the profession of medicine, and in the State where rests the bones of my ancestors.
The subject of my address, "Four Decades of American Surgery," embraces the following periods: First, 1866 to 1876; second, 1876 to 1886; third, 1886 to 1896, and fourth, 1896 to 1906. It will readily be understood this comprises the time since my entrance into private practice.

•Delivered at the 141st annual meeting of the Medical Society of New Jersey, Long Branch, June 25th, 1907.
