A System of Medicine, Vol. 1

Excerpt from A System of Medicine, Vol. 1: By Many Writers Again, pathology has not only become intolerant of second hand evidence, but is irresistibly leading us to the study of origins to the study of processes in a disinterested way as an aspect of natural history. It is impressed upon us in the field of Medicine, as in all other fields of knowledge, that to pursue knowledge with a consciously utilitarian end before us is to fail even in our immediate ends. It is as true now as it was two thousand years ago that Wisdom must be sought with a single heart devoted to her love and service.
