Excerpt from Introductory Address Delivered Before the Class of the Medical Society of Ohio, October 6, 1868
And now does any one tell me, you have sadly darkened my ideal of professional life, and crushed the hopes that were throbbing in my bosom. If so, it was to have him turn unto a higher and purer ideal which no earth-clouds can permanently obscure, and to seek a faithful hope which shall be an anchor to the soul, holding it fixed and firm amidst all the drifting tides of adversity and disappointment, and unmoved by all the rude storms of fate. It is my desire to show that Medical Study and Practice meet the highest pur pose of earthly existence.
How can I live a true and noble life? What is that design These are questions that every thought ful mind asks itself. The final end of man's exist ence is the glory of God. But, as observed by Sir William Hamilton in his argument for the study of mental philosophy, it is manifest, indeed, that man, in so far as he is a mean for the glory of God.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extensive impact that pursuing medical study and practice has on the individual, focusing on the subjective utility that comes from cultivating intellectual, moral, and aesthetic faculties. The author situates the physician in a long tradition of thinkers and practitioners, underscoring the profession's immense value to society. Beyond developing analytical powers, the author argues that medical study requires a high level of moral character, fostering temperance, benevolence, and empathy. Through grappling with the complexities of human frailty and suffering, physicians are called to embody these virtues in their own lives. Moreover, the author highlights the aesthetic dimension of medicine, emphasizing the beauty inherent in the human form and the wonder of physiological processes. By appreciating this beauty, physicians cultivate a sense of awe and gratitude that enriches their practice. Ultimately, this book contends that medicine is not merely a technical field but a profound pursuit that shapes the entire person. Through its transformative power, medicine enables individuals to live more meaningful, compassionate, and fulfilling lives.
