This time is spent in learning the Latin names of the different preparations of medicine, according to the plan adopted by the faculty, as also of the different parts of the human body; with the names, colors, and symptoms of all kinds of disease, divided and subdivided into as many classes and forms as language can be found to express; and sufficient knowledge of the nature of medicine to know how much poison can be given without causing immediate death. With these qualifications and a little self importance, they commence their medical career, as ignorant of what is really useful in curing disease, as though they had been shut up in a cloister all the time. Their heads are filled with the theory, but all that is most important in the removal of disease, they have to learn by practice, which can never be learnt in any other way. Those patients who are so unfortunate as to come under their care, become subjects for them to learn upon, and have to suffer from their experiments. After pursuing this course for many years, they begin to learn that their practice has been wrong; and it ia a fact well known, that all our old and most experienced physicians, who have become distinguished in their profession, make use of but very little medicine; prescribing principally simples, with directions how they may cure themselves; the greater part of their patients, are such as have been run down, and had their constitutions destroyed by the improper treatment." ; VG.
