Excerpt from Diseases of Tropical Climates
Gentlemen - Meeting you here for the first time, it is necessary for me to give you some explanation of the nature and scope of the course of instruction on which you are about to enter. The chair I have the honour to fill in this school is that of Military Medicine. It is my business to deal with the diseases apart from the battle and other injuries to which soldiers are liable in the course of their service.
The subject of military medicine is a very wide one, so much so, that with the time at my disposal it is impossible for me to deal with it in its entirety. Fortunately the scheme of study here has been so arranged as in a great measure to meet this difficulty.
One course supplements another; some subjects that might with propriety be dealt with from this chair, fall as naturally into the course of Military Hygiene, and are taken up by my colleague, the professor of that branch. The Professor of Pathology, in like manner, is able to deal with the morbid anatomy of some diseases more minutely than the time allotted to me enables me to do.
