There are, in truth, no specialties in medicine, since to know fully many of the most important diseases a man must be familiar with their manifestations in many organs.

At the outset do not be worried about this big question-Truth. It is a very simple matter if each one of you starts with the desire to get as much as possible. No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; and even the best of men must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition. In this unsatisfied quest the attitude of mind, the desire, the thirst-a thirst that from the soul must arise!-the fervent longing, are the be-all and the end-all.

The future belongs to Science. More and more she will control the destinies of the nations. Already she has them in her crucible and on her balances.

To know just what has do be done, then to do it, comprises the whole philosophy of practical life.

The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.
