Abstract
What the physician of to-day wants more than anything else is a practical knowledge of the science and art of medicine as it is practiced by the leading men in the various departments into which the work is ordinarily divided. Theorists there always have been and always will be, and they undoubtedly serve a very useful purpose; but to the ordinary physician he is an unknown quantity. His logic and theoretical deductions may be interesting, even fascinating, but directly they are of extremely limited practical benefit, to either the physician or the patient. With the exception of a very few, the members of this society are all general practitioners; or let me put it a little differently—they are general specialists, i. e., specialists in everything. In your every-day practice you are called upon to examine into and treat every form of sickness or accident that our bodies are heir to.
