No doubt science cannot admit of compromises, and can only bring out the complete truth. Hence there must be controversy, and the strife may be, and sometimes must be, sharp. But must it even then be personal? Does it help science to attack the man as well as the statement? On the contrary, has not science the noble privilege of carrying on its controversies without personal quarrels?

Belief begins where science leaves off and ends where science begins.

The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and the social problems should largely be solved by them.
