Excerpt from The Early History of Medicine in Philadelphia
"Homies enim ad deos nulla re propius accedunt quam salutem homi-nibus dando." Cicero - Oratio pro Q. Ligario, Caput XII.
"There Physic fills the space, and far around.
Pile above pile, her learned works abound:
Glorious their aim - to ease the labouring heart;
To war with death, and stop the flying dart;
To trace the source whence the fierce contest grew,
And life"s short lease on easier terms renew:
To calm the phrensy of the burning brain;
To heal the tortures of imploring pain;
Or, when more powerful ills all efforts brave,
To ease the victim no device can save.
And smooth the stormy passage to the grave."
Crabbe - The Library.
