Excerpt from The Secret Springs
"After all," Doctor X said, "the science of medicine is beginning to be of some use. It is really learning how to cure."
This did not surprise me. I had always taken it for granted that medicine cured. But he added:
"It is finding the secret springs of health and the roots of happiness."
And that made me sit up. I knew that Doctor X was a diagnostician who had a high place in his profession. I had learned, by recent experience in my own person, that he had more medical skill than any other physician I had been able to stumble on in some ten years of painful traipsing roundabout among them. We had struck up a visiting acquaintance after office hours, and I had found him a man of philosophic canniness in the discussion of human affairs.
