SECOND ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

1SS2— 3.

The Baltimore Medical Colleg*' has been inaujj^urated under the must favorable auspices. Its ch.irter having been obtained and first Announcement issued about the time ruber Medical Schools were oj)enin^ their regular sessions ; and yet quite a large number of students entered and attended its hrst course of lectures.

A commodious building was purchased early during the ses- sion in a most desirable and central pwrt of the city for College and Clinical purfxjses, located at No qt, N. Paca Street, near Franklin, which has recently been enlaretxi and improved, afford- ing increased facilities for Lectures, K.i^x-ratory work and anatomi- cal demonstrations.

A Free Dispensary adjoins the College where clinical instruc- tion is given daily from 12 to 2 o'clrjck, and two evenings in the week, from 7 to 8. Several Hospitals are also accessible to the students of this College, free of chaige. A large building, in the near future, will be opened contiguous to the College for hospital purposes.

Christianity being the basis upon which this College has been founded, its Charter requires that every Professor shall declare his belief in the Christian Religion, to Ih-> ome eligible to fill his posi- tion.

The Institution is, howfver, entirely unsectarian.

By a recent -Art of the Legislature of M.iryland the corporate powers of this College have been enlarged, embracing every department of education.

The Course of Instruction will l>e pra<tical and progressive, including all the departinentb ol a thorough Nfedical Education.

The Faculty consists ol A Professor of Anato.mv. A Professor of CHF.Misrk\. A Professor of Phvsi()i.<)..y.

A Professor of Matkkia Mki>ica and THERAPErTics. A Professor of the PRisriPLKsand PRAfTK Eof MEraciNE. A Professor of the Principi.f.s and Practice of Sur- gery, Inci.i DiNc; Eve and Ear.

— 5—

A Professor of Obstetrics and of the Diseases of

Women and Children. A Professor of Operative Dentistry, Dental Histol- ogy, AND Dental Pathology. A Professor of Mechanical Dentistry and Metallurgy Laboratory instruction will form a prominent feature in the curriculum, thus familiarizing the student with the instruments and methods he must employ in future practice.

The,present collegiate year begins on the 5th day of September, 1882, and closes in April following. As the design of this school is to elevate the standard of Medical Education, it will not seek to make many Doctors, but competent and good ones. It affords students time to acquire a thorough knowledge of the various branches of Medicine, by an extension of the Annual Sessions to ■ji months without increased expense for attendance upon the same. Two courses of lectures will thus l>e equivalent to the three now required in many Medical Schools. The curriculum has been so arranged that ample time will be given to digest what is heard, and to read, practice and review as they pursue their studies.

Conditions Upon Which Students will be Admitted are as Follows :

They must possess good moral characters and studious habits, and unless matriculates of some Literary Institution or Medical College, will be required to write a brief essay, not exceeding a page of foolscap, as a test of their qualiticatians in Orthography and Grammar, and to undergo a short oral examination in the elementary branches of a good English Education.

Candidates for graduation. — Must be of age, and have attend- ed two full courses of lectures in this school, or one coirrse in this after having attended one or more in some recognized Medical College.

The fitness of a candidate for graduation will be based upon good behavior and the result of a final examination to be deter- mined by the majority of the votes of this Faculty, representing the seven primary branches of Medicine.

The Baltimore Medical College being disposed to recognize Dentistry as a specialty of Medicine, has added to its general curriculum courses in Theoretical and Operative Dentistry, which special courses may be taken at the same time with the regular medical one without extra charge.

Announcement.

In publ;shin},- tlir Annual Announcement and Catalogue of the Baltimore Mediral Collej^e for 18X3 84, the faculty express ll.eir appreciation of the warm support and cordial recognition w liich th«-y have received from tin ir Ir.mds and ihe med.c'al profession The success which has attended their efforts, they reccgnze as due to the needs of the pn.fession (■ .r a hij^her standard of medxal education, and their labors in the future, as in the past, will be devoted to the thorou^-h and pr.tctical teaching of the art as well as the science of medicine.

The eniarj^ement of the college during the past year has afforded increased ficihties for k. tures, clinic.l instruction, labora- tory manipulations and anatomicd and chemical demonstrations. A Free Dispensary is connected with the college where clinical instruction is given daily from 12 to 2 o'clock and two evenings during the week 1.0:11 7 to 8. Several thousand patients are examined and prescribed for during the session in the presence of the students.

Several hospitals are accessible to the students of this college mcluding the large Presbyterian Hospital for diseases of the Eve and Ear, Throat and Lun^s, No. 77 East baliimore Street 'I he diseases of tlie throat and lungs are treated by Professor Pearson of this college. '

According to the terms of the Charter every Professor or Teacher of Medicine in this college is required to declare and sul.Ncribe to h.s l^eliet in the Christian religion and hs intention faithfully tod.s(h..r>iethedut.es(.l ins office, to render him eligible to till his position. The Institution is, however, entirely unsec- tarian

By a recent .act of the Legislature of .Maryland the corporate powers of this Institution have Invn so e.xtmcitd and enlarged as to embrace every department of education.

The course of instruc tiun wiil be pra. tical and i.mgressive, including all the departments of a thorouj^h medical education.

Laboratory instruction will Jonu a prominent feature in the curriculum, thus lamiliariziiiv' the stu.f :■.: with the iustruim-nt.s and methods he must employ m future prance.

The present collegiate year begins ..i: the sth day of Septem- ber, i«83. and closes in April f.>IK.wing. As'the design <,t this school IS to elevate the standard ..| .Mtdir.il Education, it w,il not seek to make many D(x-wrs hut tompetent ..nd good on< s. It aflords students time to acquire a thorough knowledge ot the various branches of Medicine, by an extension of the Annual Sessions to seven and one-half months without increased e.\pen=e

for attendencc upon the same. Two courses of lectures will thus be equivalent to the three now required in many Medical Schools. The curriculum Ins l)ecn sq arrani^ed that ample time will begi\en to digest what is heard, and to read, practice and review as they pursue their studies.

The Out-door Clinic.

Recognizing the inadequacy of any hospital to supply the student with bedside experience in those acute diseases which will be most frequently encountered in private practice, the Faculty h.ive tletermmed to develop the out door Clinic to a degree hitherto unattempted by Medical Schools. Students will be required to visit rhe patients at their homes under the direction of the Chiefs of Clinic-s, carefully study ihe daily chan-^es and progress of their diseases, and keep a record of these in a Clinic book. They will be called upon in rotation to attend all cases of confinement that 3pply at the Dispens iry under the direction of the Professor and assistants in ch trge of that department.

The small streets, alleys and tenement houses of a large city like Balti nore, are teeming with an indijiciu population that offers clinical .»d vantages, which if properly and systematically utili;:ed. Will be found superior to those of Hospitals generally.

Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children.

The Professor of this Department will bring the experience of ten ye.irsasa te.icher to it, .nnd many years as a practitioner. lUus- tr.itions will be furnished by plates, diagrams, models in wax, and with a superb manikin ; and arr.ingen^.ents will be made for afford- ing advanced students opportunities for witnessing cases of actual labor. Students will be instructed cirefally in the diagnosis of the several positions and presentations, and in the best methods of Jsing instruments in obstetric practice. The college clinics and liospital will afford .ibundant material for the proper illustration of :he diseases of women and children by the i'rofessor and the Clinical Teachers in those departments.

Text Books.— P/ay/air, Afeadows, Lusk, and Hodge's Mid- Wi/ery.

Materia Medica and Therapeutics.

As a thorough knowledge of Materia Medica is absolutely necessary lor the student to compjrehend intelligently the Science ol 1 hcra|HMitiCb, the latter i)en)n !■" intimately connected withthe lurmer, that to obta;!; a practical kni.ulcdijc of Materia Medica, it «ill be necessary lur the student lu handle thedrujjs, make prepa- rations, and compound prescript ens, as well as t«sl the qualities ol various medicines by actual exft r.ments. For this purpose a Pharmaceutical Laboratory will Lt equipped where all the students will be required to practice Pharmacy under the instruction of an expei icnced J'harmaci.-^t.

The IVolessor in this de|xirtincnt will examine especially the second course students at the opening of each of his lectures on the subject of his previous lee ture. and will frequently require them to write prtscr.ptions to lamiiiar.ze themselves as to the proper combinations, actions and doses of medicines. They will also be expected to compound and ];rcparethe prcscriptionsof the various Prolessors in the Dispensary under the supervision of the Phar- macist.

The location of the Baltimore Medical College has been changed from North Paca, and East Baltimore Street, to Xos. 25 and 27 Linden Avenue (formerly Garden Street), near Madison and Howard Streets, and two squares north of the Johns Hop- kins University.

The Fourth Annual Fall and Winter Session will open Oc- tober 1st and continue until March folloAving, when the Annual Commencement takes place. A Spring term will be opened March 15th and. continue until the 1st of June. Students are advised to take three years course of lectures, but such as may pass a successful examination at the end of two full courses Avill be entitled to graduate.

Arrangements are expected to be made for the opening of a Hospital in the College building, where a number of the second course students may obtain lodging or board at very reasonable rates, where the opportunity will be afforded for witnessing the treatment of the sick, and assisting at the bed-side of the patients. Also at the St. Vincent's Hospital at the head of Bolton street, students will have access to the apartments of such patients of the Professors of this College who may be sent to that Institution for treatment. There are other Hospitals in the city to which all Medical Students have access free of charge.

A Free Dispensary is connected with the College, where Clinical instruction is given daily from 12 to 2 o'clock, at which several thousand patients are examined and prescribed for during the session in the presence of the students. Other Dispensaries are also accessible to students, including the North Western Dis- pensary.

ANNOaNCEMENT.

FOR THE SESSION OF 1884— 8B.

In presenting the Annual Announcement and Circular of the Baltimore Medical College to the Profession and Students of Medi- cine, the Faculty congratulate themselves at being able to state that alterlongaml latH)rious eftbrt they have been able to establish a suitable Hospital in connection with their Institution, which will supply the Students of tlie College with a// the clinical advantages that they can prohtably ajji^ropriate. Ail departments of the curriculum will thus be practically as well as theoretically presented to the class during the session; thus placing the College abreast of the most favored schools of the country.

SITUATION OF THE INSTITUTION.

The College and Hospital buildings are situated at No. 233 East Baltimore street, in a section of the city replete with i Unit a I material for Dispensary and Hospital pur}^H)ses

A Free Dispensary will be opened daily from 12 to 2 o'clock, at which large numbers oi mit-door patients will be prescribed for and treated before the students of the College. Students will be expected to visit this class of patients at their homes, and under direction of the chiefs of clinics, so that they can study the progress and changes that take place in the treatment of their cases; thus familiarizing them with the art of diagnosis and the use of remedies ere they enter upon regular practice for themselves.

The advantages derivable from this mode of teaching can hardly be over estimated.

BAY VIEW ASYLUM AND HOSPITAL. This large and extensive charity, belonging to the City of Balti- more, is now accessible to all Medical Students, free of charge; and It offers advantages for studying and seeing almost every form and variety of disease and accident that can be found anywhere. With Its 1,000 beds it is more convenient in distance to the Baltimore Med ical College than to any other college in the city; and the cars going thither pass the doors of College.

IHE LYING IN AND GYNECOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT

OF THE BALTIMORE MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL, Will be under the immediate care of the Professors of those import- ant branches which is sufficient guarantee of the advantages that students will receive from attending them.

OTHER HOSPITALS. The extensive Presbyterian Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, situ- ated at No. 77 E. Baltimore Street, is only a short distance from the Baltimore Medical College and Hospital, and is accessible to our students. The Baltimore Eye, Ear and Chest Hospital, on Franklm street, offers excellent advantages also for the study of those specialties, and students are permitted to see the practice and opera.

*The Faculty and Directors of the Caltimore Medical College deem it proper to state that in consefjuence of an unpleasant law-suit in which they were eng-aged, proper arrangements for a larfrer class of students for the past session could not be perfected. Happily this difficulty is nowarianged in tavor of the intcrcstsof The College and a complete reorganization of the Faculty accomplished with every prospects of a successful future.

Annual Announcement.

1BS5— less.

In presenting the annual report of the Baltimore Medical College, tlie Faculty and Trustees desire to express apprecia- tion of the warm support and cordial recognition received from their friends and the medical profession at large.

Since the close of the last session, the Faculty has suc- ceeded in purchasing the property which it lately occupied, and is now engaged in erecting, on the Howard street front of the lot, a large amphitheatre, lecture, dissecting and laboratory rooms, etc., which, when finished, will not be surpassed by any in the city. This improvement leaves the original building on the Linden avenue front for the exclusive use of rapidly growing hospital purposes. The hospital, which is controlled exclusively by the professors of the Baltimore Medical Col- lege, will be known as the Maryland General Hospital (country and as well as city patients will be treated at the hospital and furnished with excellent accommodations at from $4.00 to $10.00 per week). Besides the opportunities therein to be offered, other hospitals, both general and spe- cial, will be open to all students of medicine, and as Balti- more has a population of nearly 400,000, and is noted for the care with which she provides for her indigent classes, it will be at once seen that the advantages here presented to the student for clinical investigations are unsurpassed by any city in the Union. In addition to this, the salubrity of cli- mate, the hospitality and refinement of her citizens, and economy of living, all combine to make Baltimore peculiarly favorable to those pursuing the study of medicine.

The Fifth Annual Fall and Winter Session will open October 1, and continue until the latter part of March fol- lowing, when the Annual Commencement takes place.

A Spring Session, consisting of a single term, beginning in the month of April and ending about the tirst part of June, will be held for those wishing to continue their studies, but is not considered as one of the regular courses which entitles students to apply for graduation.

The fee for this spring term will be announced during the winter. Students are advised to take three years' course of lectures, but such as may pass a successful examination at the end of two full courses will, under certain rules herein- after ]nentioned, be entitled to graduation.

General Method oe Instructions.

DIDACTIC AND CLINICAL LECTURES.

Besides tlie usual didactic lectures there will be clinics held daily by the Professors in the college building.

HYGIENE AND SANITARY SCIENCE. PROF. W. R. MONROE

Will give a course of lectures on Public Hygiene, etc., during the term, illustrating them, as circumstances require, by means of models and diagrams.

Text-Books — Parked Practical Hygiene.

PHYSIOLOGY.

PROF. THOMAS DAUGHERTY.

The Professor of Physiology will include in his course of lectures the general principles of biology and histology. These subjects will be illustrated by experiments and enlarge- ments on the screen by means of the lantern, megascope, porte lumiere, etc. In addition to his lectures he will devote a portion of his time to laboratory instruction.

Text-Books^ Jl/aWi'n, Foster, Flint., Yoe^s Mannd.

INSANITY AND DISEASES OP THE NERVOUS

SYSTEM.

PROF. CHARLES G. HILL, M.D.

As this branch has been fonnd too extensive and important to be tanght as a part of any other cliair, since the last session it has been deemed best to create it a separate and distinct de- partment in the cnrriculnm. This will afford the Professor an opportunity to enter into the subject with the care and thoroughness that its importance demands. First the minute anatomy of the brain and spinal cord will be taught, then their functions in health, their pathological lesions, and the diagnosis and treatment of the various diseases embraced under this head. The subject will be illustrated with appro- priate charts, diagrams and models, in addition to the regular dissections. The student will also be familiarized with the various instruments and appliances used in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous and menial diseases. An abun- dance of clinical material will be availed of to make this de- partment thoroughly practical.

Text-Books — Bosenthal, Charcot, Hammond and Althaiis' Medical Electricity.

MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. PROF. R. H. P. ELLIS. A thorough knowledge of Materia Medica is absolutely necessary for the student to comprehend intelligently the science of Therapeutics, the latter being so intimately con- nected with the former. It is, therefore, desirable that the student should become familiar with the origin, nature and physiological and therapeutic effects of medicines in general, together with their most approved combinations and modes of application and administration lur the relief and cure of disease.

OUTDOOR CLINIC AND DISPENSARY.

Recognizing the inadequacy of any hospital to supply the student with bedside experience in the acute diseases most frequently encountered in private practice, the Faculty have determined to develop the outdoor clinic to a degree hitherto un attempted by medical schools. Students will be required to visit the patients at their homes under the direction of the Professors, and carefully study the daily changes and progress of diseases; also keep a record of them in a clinic book. They will be called upon in rotation to attend all cases of confinement that apply at the dispensary, under the direction of the Professors and assistants in charge of that department.

The dispensary in the college building is opened daily between the hours of 12 M. and 2 P.M. for the treatment of such persons as are unable to pay, and besides the Professors, who attend in person, a druggist will be always on hand to fill prescriptions.

— 13 —

ANNUAL ANN0UN6BMBNT.

1886-1887.

In presenting the sixth annual announcement of the Baltimore Medical Colleiie the Faculty and Board of Directors desire to ex- press their warm appreciation of the continued encouragement and support of their friends and the medical profession generally, not only in Maryland, but in many other states.

Since the last catalo^'ue was issue I a large new college building, ■with all modern improvements, has been erected by the Faculty and ■was occupied during the past session.

There a^e thirteen professors and three lecturers connected with the College.

The branches taught in this College are, Theory and Practice of Medicine, Hygiene and Sanitary Science, Obitetrics, Miteria .Medica and Therapeutics, Diseases of Women, Diseases of the Eye and Ear, Surgery, Physiology, Anatomy, Pathology, Chemistry and Toxi- cology, Diseases of Children, Diseases of the Njse, Throat and Chest, Insanity and Diseases of the Nervous System.

The regular Winter Session of this School will open on the ist •day of October, 1886. and continues until middle of March, 1887.

Students will be allowed leave of absence at Christmas vacation, but no other time during the session.

Introductory lectures to the Winter Course will be given during •the month of September.

A Spring Session, consisting of a single term, beginning in the month of April and ending about the first part of June, will be held for those wishing to continue their studies, but is not considered as ■one of the regular courses which entitles students to apply for grad- ttation.

The ft-e iur th'h spring term will be announced during the winter, and all moDcy paid fur such will be deducted from the ft-es charged for the r.>;ular session. Students are advised to take ;i three year course of lectures, but such as may pass a successful ex .mination al the end of two full courses will, under ceitain lules hereinafter men- tioned, be entitled to graduation.

HOSPITAL ADVANTA(..KS.

The Maryland General Hospital, under the sole control of the Faculty of the Baltimore Medical College ha- been enlarged to irore than double its torim-r capacity, to aciom m.kI.hc the increased demand for beds.

This Hospital is contiguous to the Colleifr laiidmg and connect- ed with It by a corridor, which greatly facilit^io the exhibition of jllusifative casts at the Medical and Surgical « iin-ca. A considerable portion of this building is used as a

STATE AND CITY HOSPITAL,

and contains a large number of tree beds whic h are supported through the generosity of our City and State Gmernmcnt. Thus it will be seen that students, persuing their studies al this College, have advanta- ges offered them unsurpa^-^ed by any Medical School in this State.

The Hospital has a r.■>^ident ph)sican and his assistant; also a matron with well train'd nurses who take charge of the domestic affairs of tl'.e Institution

A well organized I)i-i i nsarv in the College building furnishes an abund.int clinical material which is utilized to the students advantage.

OUTDOOR CLINIC AND DISPENSARY'. In addition to the extensive hospital advantages, just mentioned Baltimore has many others, both publu ami private, which are open to all students ol medicine, but the i aiu!!\ feeling the great importance of this matter devote special aiunuon to the out door Clinics, so as to give Students the advantage of practical experience derived from seeing patients just as they meet them in private prac- tice , an exercise so iiLjortaiU in their proper preparation lor the future.

ADDRESS

Delivered before the Graduating Class of Hi* Baltimore Medical Col'ege,

March 8th. 1886.

BY PROF. CHARLES C. HM L. M. D., OF THE FACLLI V

Gentlemen of the Craduatiyig Class :

Having passed through the prtb^i bed course of studies and measured up to the required standai.l rix- lialtimore Medical Col- lege, by authority of the Slate of Marvl \nd, has just conferred upon you the ancient and honorable degr»-« of "Doctor of Medicine." To day the curtain rises on the stage ol your public life. You have selected a role that is justly esteemed the ,ino>t laborious, the most responsible, the most dignified, the wohl honorable of all the callings of men. A profession that cal!s in:o action the highest order of in- tellectual, moral, and even physical charac;er.stics. A profession that has enrolled among its members some <>f the brightest intellects, the most unselfish laborers, the grandest licfKs, and the greatest bene- factors of the human race. In m othe' calling can be found more self-sacrifice, more calin courage in the imJ.-t of d.inger, more earnest and incessant labor, more bowing d>>*n of the head and heart and soul in care and anxiety for others. Hvrry element or condition that tends to enoble the moral faculties < I man, to refine his feelings, to deepen his sympathies, to kindle h:s < harity, to augment his self- abnegation, and increase his care lor others, is to be found in the daily work of the physician ; just as inu< h as every element or con- dition that can elevate or train his intellectual faculties is to be fjund in his daily studies.

The profession of the healing aa st.nnds as a necessary part of the order of thmgs, old as humanity, and insepjrable from its ex- istence on earth ; for when did not man suffer, and when did not his brother try to relieve him. Synchronous with man's advent upon the ^ planet, the chronicles of his art, inaugurated by the oracles of Fate, are as absolutely a part of the inevitable, and as genuine a fragment of the universe as the beautiful song of the stars. As the creation of the human body is the first significant act of its history, its protec- tion and preservation from the agencies of change .Tnd destruction about it, must certainly be the second consideration of impoitance — scarcely less in its grandeur, surely equally solemn in its end. The soul incarnate once demands immortality as a right of its own being.

15

and would ask it for the body also. What art ^■o exalted, then, as the art of i)reserving and prolon>;lnK life, and what so Godlike m aspiration as the effort to ro>tore man to the splendor of his unfallen yuath, and save h m fron the agencies of pun and suffering, disease

and death ? , t- i u-

The regular profession of medicine, called the "h acuity Hip- nocratic,'^ or "old school," b )asts a j^enealogy time honored and ancient as the earth. From its present noon-day ^plendor of light and science, it gois into the obscuriiy of the past fjr more ihan two thousand vt-ars of authentic history, and still on thiough realms of mylhi an'd dreams, until in the misti and shaJows of primieval woilds it mingles its exegesis wiih the f.bles of the gods. Thtse St. ries of the ages, these legends ul the sages, have nothing in them accidental, arbitrary, or fictitious— f^r myt^is are but the shadows of more transLcndent facts, having necessary and immoital existence in the depths of nature and the soul

In the metai)h>sical f bles of (.reece, .Esculapius was worship- ped as the god of the healing art. Mis temples were usually built in healthy p ac.s, on hills, in beauiilu! groves, near wells or springs V hich we. e sup^.oted lo have healm^.; powers. These were frequented by the sick, the Itme, and the dise.i-.ed of all classes, and may hence be considered the carl e,t liosp tais or sanatanums that history re- cords. The god of medicine was represented as .seated on a throne, h Iding in one hand a staff, while the other rested on the head of a serpent, with a dog lying by his Mde. This beautiful conception fro.n the wondrous intellect of the t^reek, is susceptible of a very simple but touching interpretation. The staff is the emblem of assist- ance and help— the prf)feasion st.Hnd:ng as an ever ready support or prop to tottering man, gives eyes :■' 'he blind, limbs to the lame, and saves the weary, footsore traveler !;oin failing and fainting on the arduous journey of life.

The dragon or serpent, on which rests the other hand of the fabled god, shadows fonh with art stic precision the beauty and triumph of the healing an, the serpent being the type of prudence and wisdom which control the demon of disease and pain fallen man's most fea: ful foe.

In the symbolic representation of things, amon^ all ages, the ^ox is the emblem of fidelity. Thus the being who presides over the physical wtlfareof hu.uanity, true to the law of love and youth, has by his side the ever constant dog.

In whatever age or clime man has planted his habitation on the eaith, there may be found the omn'pres=nt physician. From the medical man of the rude barbarian tr.oe, who drives away disease by charms, incantations, and hideous noises, to the scientitic physician of the most exalted civilization the world has ever seen ; from the hut of squalor and poverty, to the home of splendor and luxurance ; from the jungles and swamps where fever and death reign triumphaijt to the abodes of salubrity and health; in every locality and all

16

conditions of humanity, tfie physician, like the faithful doe is ever At man s side. *'

Mythology further tel's us that such was the success of v€-cu- lapius m curing the sick and rescu ng men from the grave that Zens less men m.gHt eventually escape death altogether, and on complaint of Pluto that he had injured his business by diminishing the number of his dead, k.hed him by a flash of lightning. And thus the modern yf^.scubpius, as did the fabled gtd of old, fird his greatest enemies and most jealous foes down amid the Plutonian shades of ignorance And though Jupiter's lightning, at the instigation of Pluto may blast his hopes and wither his prospects, let him not be discouraged for we are further told that on the plea of Apollo, /F.sculapius was' placed among the stars, thus foreshadowing the ultimate triumph of our art

The authentic history of mtdicine dates back to ancient Egypt Here was rocked the cradle of civilization, and inedicine, and other arts and sciences received their earliest impulse from the land of the Pharaohs. Moses, in his writings, frequently alludes fo the practice of medicine, especially in regard to the treatment of leprosy. One oi these earlier Scriptural allusions is not very complimentary to the surgeons in attendance. A certain man by iheoame of Asa we are told, was diseased in his fett, "He sought not to the Lord' but to physicians," and "Asa slept wi:h his fathers," as the writer cocly adds. In this hurntd reference to the tarlv history of mtdicine we cannot pass by the names of such men' Pythagoras Democritus and Heractilus, these are blended with the early dawn of our art but need only to be referred to on this occasion as successive steps in the ladder leading up to the great Hippocrates. This distinguished phy- sician dawned upon the history of primitive medicine like a full inoon upon a world that had hitherto been lighted only by stars of the smallest magnitude. The advances that he made in the practice of medicine were so great, that for centuiies no attempts were made to improve upon his views and precepts. The sons of Hippocrates Ihessaleau and Draco, were regarded as the founders of the earliest medical sect, known as the Hippocratic or Dogmatic school because It set out w-ilh certain theoretical principles, and made these precepts the basis of practice.

The next step in medical history worthy of mention was the foundiig of the celebrated school of Ale;candna by the munificence of the Ptolemies, about three hundred )ears before the Cnristian era Thisschoolwa.sopprsed to bleeding and active remedies, and be- lieved in the "Vjs Medicatrix Naturae." About this time the Em- pirics formed themselves into a distinct sect and became the declared opponents of the Dogmatirs. At this period, and for centuries subse- quent to it, all physicians weie included in one or the other of these rival .^ects, which in regard to numbers weie ab.-ut equally dividtd, ^ -'

We learn from Pliny that medicine was introduced into Rome at a later pericd than the other arts and sciences about two hundred

17

\ '^ars B.C. Here another sect was soon founded called the Meiko- d.cs, which adopted a medium course between the Dogmatics and the Empirics. For some centuries after this the Methodics were the preponderating sect, until they bruke up inlo the Pneumatics, the Eclectics, the Synthetics, and many others too numerous to men- tion. It was this era that gave to nifdical literature such names as Celsus, the historian k.^{ medicine, Pliny, the naturalist, Descordes, and many others worthy of mention. But these all sink into insig- nificance when comnared to the great Galen, whose writings were universally acknowledged as ultimate authority until they were attacked and publicly burned in the sixteenth century, by the arch-

?uack Paracelsus — and though his works were reduced to ashes, his mie can only perish with the.«cience itself. As in the case of Hip- pocrates, his immeasurable superiority over his contemporaries seems to have acted as a check to all attempts at further improve- ment.

The several centuries after the death of Galen, which occurred about A.D. 193, gave to medicine manv names of renown, but after Paulos, the Greek school of medicine may be considered to have come to an end. The Arabian school was now beginning to rise into notice. The Arabic writers translated into their own language the works of Hippocrates and Galen, as well as those of Aristotle, Plato, and Euclid. Though thes*" formed the basis of their medical know- ledge, the science did not languish in their hands. Rhazes, of this school, was the first to describe small-pox ; and the Arabian physi- cians did good service to medicine by introducing from the east new articles into the European Materia Medica, such as rhubarb, cassia, senna and camphor. They also made known the first elements of chemical pharmacy, such as the knowledge of destination, and the means of obtaining various metallic oxides and their salts.

With the decline of the Saracenic universities of Spain, theonly medical knowledge which remained was to be found in Italy, where the schoci of Salerno acquired a great celebrity and maintained it until it was gradually eclipsed by the rising fa'nr of the other schools at Bologna, Paris, Vienna, etc. In 1315, Mondini first publicly dissected two human bodies at Bologna, and contemporaneous with him lived Gilbert, the first English physician who acquired any repute.

The next century gave birth to LinncEus, who founded the Col- lege of Physicians of London, which circumstance may be truly said to have marked the dawn of the modern epoch of medicine. This impoitant event occurred in 1518, and up to this time theworks of Galen reigned paramount throughout the civilized world. In fact, even as late as 1559 history tells us that our Dr. Gayns was cited before the College for impuning the infallibility of Galen. "On his acknowledgement of his error and humble recantation, signed with )tis own hand, he was received into the College."

Prior to the event just referred to, the state of medical science

18

was very low in England. It was only remarkable for ingenious hypothe^.es, unsupported by the evidence of facts, and for a credulous faith in astrological influences, equally visionary. Bef)re the rei^jn of Henry VIII there were few restraints on the practice ot physic and sur- gery— and the most illiterate and ignorant pretended to professional knowledge and exercised the art of killing with impunity. At length in 151 1, an act of Parliainent was passed to "restrict within the city of London or within seven miles of the same," the practice of either faculty to those who should be "examined, approved of and admit- ted," by the Bishop of London, or the Dean of St. Paul's, assisted by four doctors of physic. (It is singular how often history repeats itself, for this is almost the exact scope of a bill now pendmg before the Legislature to regulate the practice of medicine in our own State). The sweating sickness raged in Ldndon with great violence pre- vious to the year 1518. The infected died in three hours after the disease had set in, and no effectual remedy was discovered. Words cannot picture the horrors of tbis terrible epidemic. The administra- tion of justice was suspended during its continuance, and the court removed from place to place with piecipitation and fear. Half of the people of the country were swept away, and the principle trade car- ried on was in coffins and shrouds, and even this in the progress of the disease was abandoned. \'ast supulchral pits were prepared every morning into which the victims were thrown promiscuously. The only sounds during the day were the doleful monotonv of in- creasing knells, and the lamentations of the tamted deserted by their friends, and all night long the loaded wheels of the death wagon rolled along, and a continuous cry was heard of "bring out your dead." To devise a remedy or some means of averting the recurrence of this terrible calamity, the King, at the suggestion of Dr. Linacre, was induced to establish the College of Physicians. Thus, in the Divine manifestation of a wonderful Providence, this awful scourge was made to work out a blessing that has redounded to the inestimable good of the whole human race.

We have now taken you back to the earliest history of our pro- fession We have carried vou hurriedly through its wanderings and touched upon its trials and triumphs. We have shown you how, like a snowball detached from the mountian summit, it has rolled on throngh the succeeding ages, gathering a.cretions at every revolution, until it dawns upon modern times in all its power and splendor. The history of modern medicine is best studied by examining the history of its leaders. To the student about to enter the toilsome and peril- ous paths of medical practice, the lives of medical men will afford both examples of imitation and beacons of warning. He will see that it was to their industry, their zeal, their learning, their perseverance that they o*ed their success, as much, if not more, than to their natural endowments. If nature did much for them, they did more for themst Ives.

From thia veoerable old college in Warwick lane went forth

19

tome of the brightest lights of the last century. The building' itsell teems to have presented a very classic appearance. The proximity to the Court House — the old Baily — and the impression excited ia the mmd by a view of the entrance porch, are thus humorously al- luded to by Sir Samuel Garth —

" Not far from that most celebrated place, Where angry jastioe shows its awful face, Where litUe villains must submit to fate, That great ones may enjoy the world in state, — There stands a dome majestic to the sif^ht, And sumptuous arches boar ita awful height, A golden globe, placed high with artful skill, Seems to tne distant sight a gilded pill."

Our time will not permit even a brief allusion to many of the prominent doctors of this day, but there are a few whom we cannot pass by. Their names will be read as long as history hvej, and their fame will endure to the end of time. I allude principally to Sydenham, Harvey and Jenner ; Sydenham, the iMther of English medical literature ; Harvey, the discoverer of the - kiculation of the blood ; and Jenner, the conqueror of the deadliest 4»«ase that ever ravaged the human race. Dr. Harvey conferred ^\foa the science of medicine, by his discovery of the circulation, the mmt service which the immortal Newton rendered to optics and as- troaomy by his theories of light and gravitation. It was no acci- 4e»t»] stumbling on a great truth, but the result of patient, persist- «at labor for twenty six years; and when his theories were matured nnd published, he proved to be so much in advance of his time, that rt»r world was not prepared to receive them. Instead of glory, fame «ml the pecuniary reward that his discovery should have brought KiRB, he got contempt, reproach and censure, was accused of being TAckc-bramed, and lost both in practice and reputation. It was •wcnty-five years after his system was published before it was received a (he universities of the world.

The history of Jenner, the discoverer of vaccination, presents •^«r.f*t a parallel case. It e.xhibits the lifelong efforts of a man of ,!i*.'!o«ophical character, and constant habits of observation, catching i {{timpse early in his professional life of a fruih of the greatest ^hotogical importance, connected with a discovery of amazing twiMrfit to mankind. We see him keeping this object in view, clear- Jem away the oo^tacles, regarding the question on every side, and laboring incessantly for its establishment, when fully convinced of its «•« and in calculable value, despite of cold disregard and vehement *tf>ppmx'\on, misrepresentation, calumny and ridicule. Hut notwith- Andutg the difficulties he had to encounter, and prejudices he had to ■•v^rrtjme, Jenner was not discouraged. In spite of all opposition, «rhwJi «t tim«^ assumed a formidable character, he clearly established &W: uiich of his principles, and compelled the profession and the f*io^ to pay him that homage to which he was so justly entitled;

20

and in 1807 Parlaiment, in recoe:nition of his great services, vot-v, him /'20,ooo.

Among the many opponents to vaccination at that time was l.>r Moselev, Pliysician to Chelsea Hospital. The doctor saw in distinct prosprct an awtul aggravation of human ills from the introduction of the " Covv-mania," as he termed it. Cases were published in which vaccinated persons became covered with hair, and even exhibited horns and a tail : and that of a child was cited whose natural deposi tion was so brutitled that he ran on all fours, bellowing like a bull. Jenner was ridiculed in various publications. Stjuibs and satires were resorted to in order to prejudice the public mind ai^ainst vacci nation. He was caricatured riding on a cow. The following lines, published about this time, will illustrate the absurd length to which this opposition was carried —

"Ah 1 Miiseley, thy bonk misrhty ])hant:isie3 rousing, Full oft make me quake for my heart's (k'lire.st trciisure. For fancy, in dreams, oft i^resents them all browsing, On couinems, just like littk^ Nebucluulnezzar — There niliMinjj ai thistle, stand Jim, John and Mary — On their foreheads, oh horrible!! crumbled horn.s bud — There Tom with his tail, and poor William all hairy, Reclined in the corner, are chewing their cud "

Jenner died suddenly of apoplexy, on the 20th of June, 0^27,. The last words which the eminent philanthropist uttered were to the following effect. " I do not marvel that men are grateful to me, but I am surprised that they do not feel gratitude to God tor makmg me a medium of so much good.'' The following beautiful lines af en graven on his monument, viz —

"Within this tomb hath found a resting place —

The great physician of the liuinan race.

Immortal Jenner ! wlio.st; gigantic mind

Brought life and heultli to more than half mankind.

Let rescueil infancy his worth proclaim,

Anil lisp (.lilt hles.sings on his lioaored name,

And radiant beauty drop her saddest tear,

For beauty's truest, trustiest friend lies here."

If called upon to .select an epoch of history, distinguished above all others for the most e.xtraordinary and rapid progress of the science of medicine, doubtless to the present century, beginning with the Declaration of American Independence, shouki be accorded the un'.'xampled pre eminence. .\nd this applies not alone to medicine, but to other arts and sciences. All the means initiated through the preceding centuries seemed to have united at once in assisting the- aspirations and labors of men in the vast domain of discover) .ind invention then suddenly disclosed to an amazing wt)rld. The mvtii tion of gun powder had im()Uted strength to the weak; printing bad given knowledge to the ignorant : niaritine discoveries had opened abodes to the oppressed, and the great reformation had given freedom

ANNUAL ANNOUNGBMBET.

1SS7-ISSS.

In presenting the seventh annual announcement of the Balti- more Medical College the Faculty and Board of Directors desire to express their warm appreciation of the continued encouragement and support of their friends and the medical profession generally, not only in Maryland, but in many other states.

It is with a pardonable pride that the Faculty calls attention to the thorough equipment of the college for teaching the theory and practice of medicine. The hospital adjoining the college building is constantly filled with interesting and instructive cases. The free dispensary furnishes daily the greatest abundance of clinical mate- rial, and the out- door patients afford the advanced students an excellent opportunity for applying their knowledge in a practical manner. The amphitheatre has just been rearranged according to the most modern and approved plans, and every facility is offered the student for practical work in the laboratory and dissecting room.

There are twelve professors and three lecturers connected with the College.

The branches taught in this College are. Theory and Practice of Medicine, Hygiene and Sanitary Science, Obstetrics, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Diseases of Women, Diseases of the Eye and Ear, Surgery, Physiology, Anatomy, Pathology, Chemistry and Toxi- cology, Diseases of Children, Diseases of the Nose, Throat and Chest, Insanity and Diseases of the Nervous System,

The regular Winter Session of this School will open on the 3rd day of October, 1887, and continue until middle of March, 1888.

Students will be allowed leave of absence at Christmas vacation, but no other time during the season.

Introductory lectures to the Winter Course will be given during the month of September.

A Spring Session, consisting of a single term, beginning on the first of April and ending about the first part of June, will be held for those wishing to continue their studies, but is not considered as one of the regular courses which entitles students to apply for grad- uation.

The fee for this spring term will be fifteen dollars which will be deducted from the fees charged for the regular session. Students are advised to take a three years course of lectures, but such as may pass a successful examination at the end of two full courses will, un- der certain rules hereinafter mentioned, be entitled to graduation.

HOSPITAL ADVANTAGES.

The Maryland General Hospital, under the sole control of the Faculty of the Baltimore Medical College has been enlarged to more than double its former capacity, to accommodate the increased demand for beds.

This Hospital is contiguous to the College building and connect- ed with it by a corridor, which greatly facilitates the exhibition of the illustrative cases at the Medical and Surgical Clinics. A considerable portion of this building is used as a

STATE AND CITY HOSPITAL and contains a large number of free beds which are supported thiough the generosity of our City and State Governments. Thus it will be seen that students, pursuing their studies at this College, have advanta- ges offered them unsurpassed by any Medical School in this State.

The Hospital has a resident physician and his assistant ; also a matron with well trained nurses who take charge of the domestic affairs of the Institution.

A well organized Dispensary m the College building furnishes an abundant clinical material which is utilized to the student's advantage.

MARYLAND LYING-IN HOSPITAL.

ATTENDING OBSTETRICIAN — PROF. WILMER BRINTON. M. D.

OUT-DOOR CLINIC AND DISPENSARY. In addition to the extensive hospital advantages, just mentioned, Baltimore has many others, both public and private, which are open to all students of medicine, but the Faculty feeling the great importance of this matter devote special attention to the out-door Clinics, so as to give students the advantage of practical experience derived from seeing patients just as they meet them in private prac- tice; an exercise so important in their proper preparation for the future.

General i Method i of % Instructions.

DIDACTIC AND CLINICAL LECTURES.

Besides the usual didactic lectures there will be clinics held daily by the Professors in the college building.

INSANITY AND DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. PROF. CHARLES G. HILL, M. D. The great prevalence of nervous diseases in this country renders it necessary that the medical student should be thoroughly equi|iped in all that pertains to this branch of his studies. With didactic and clinical lectures, charts, diagrams and models, this department will be rendered as thorough and practical as possible. The subject of insanity will also be presented, and illustrative cases will be exhibited to the class. In addition to this there will be given practical lessons on Medical Electricity, and the student will be familiarized with the various instruments and appliance used in the diagnosis and treat- ment of nervous and mental diseases.

MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. PROF. R. H. p. ELLIS, M. D.

A thorough knowledge of Materia Medica is absolutely necessary for the student to comprehend intelligently the science of Therapeu- tics, the latter being so intimately connected with the former. It is, therefore, desirable that the student should become familiar with the origin, nature, physiological and therapeutic effects of medicine in general, together with their most approved combinations and modes of application and administration for the relief and cure of disease. To accomplish this, the Professor of this department will endeavor to treat the subject in a clear and practical manner.

The students will also witness the actual therapeutic effects of the medicines lectured upon, by seeing them prescribed in the daily clinics.

DISEASES OF WOMEN.

PROF. J. H. SCARFF, M. D. This course will include the anatomy of the female organs of generation, their physiological functions and the various methods and instruments needful for making a diagnosis. Diseases incident to these organs will be taken up in rotation in the didactic lectures, also displacements, with the various means of remedying them will receive due consideration.

— 6—

In addition to the facilities in examination and treatment of cases selected from the dispensary, students have the privilege of assisting in the various operations in the hospital.

OBSTETRICS.

PROF. WILMER BRINTON, M. D. The Professor of this department will bring the experience de- rived from a large obstetrical practice, obtained in hospital and private practice, and will endeavor to give instructions in as practical manner as possible. Illustrations will be furnished by plates, diagrams, models in wax, and with a superb manikin; and arrangements will be made for affording advanced students opportunities for witnessing cases of actual labor. Students will be instructed in the diagnosis of the several positions and presentations, and in the best methods of using instruments in obstetric practice.

DISEASES OF CHILDREN, HYGIENE AND DERMATOLOGY. PROF. WILLIAM LEE, M. D. One Didactic and Clinical Lecture will be given each week during the winter session on diseases incident to infancy and children, by Prof. Lee who brings to this department an unusually large experience de- rived both from his private practice, and while physician to the North -Western Dispensary for the treatment of children. Besides the above a thorough course of lectures will be given on diseases of the skin. Hygiene and Sanitary science.

ANATOMY AND CLINICAL SURGERY. PROF. A. C. POLE, M. D. Since a knowledge of anatomy is the basis upon which the struc- ture of a medical education must rest, it is the intention of the Pro- fessor in this department, by means of didactic lectures, diagrams, dissections and repeated reviews to lay this foundation thoroughly and completely. Surgical Anatomy and its practical application to surgical operations will receive special attention.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTISE OF MED'.CINE. PROF. DAVID STREETT, M. D. It will be the constant endeavor of this Chair to thoroughly ground the student in the various details of the Principles and Prac- tice of Medicine, beginning with the former and leading up to and concluding with the latter — the keystone of the science.

— 7—

CHEMISTRY AND TOXICOLOGY. PROF. WM. P. TONRY, Ph. D , M. D.

The course of chemistry will embrace elementary and applied chemistrj', and will be fully illustrated. About fifteen lectures will be given on the chemico- and medico legal aspect of Poisons.

One afternoon each week will be given to instruction in analytical chemistry; and to practical analytical work in the laboratory under the supervision of the Professor. Breakable apparatus, such as test tubes and beaker glasses must be furnished by the students, the cost of which need not exceed $3.00. Other apparatus and chemicals will be furnished by the College without extra eharge.

PHYSIOLOGY, AND GENITOURINARY DISEASES.

PROF. J. D. BLAKE, M. D.

In this department the Professor will illustrate the physiological functions and processes by operations on living animals, and modern appliances for a thorough elucidation of the subject will be brought into requisition. In addition to this he will give especial clinics in Genitory- Urinary diseases.

DISEASES OF THE NOSE, THROAT AND CHEST.

PROF. S. K. MERRICK, M. D.

This department will give practical instruction in laryngology and rhinology. At the clinics students will be taught how to manipu- late and apply the various nasal and throat instruments. In addition to the clinics given at the College, students will have the privilege of attending three clinics a week at the Northwestern Dispensary, a few squares away.

Auscultation and percussion will be taught by both didactic and clinical lectures, and all the means of physical diagnosis will receive proper attention.

PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY.

PROF. EDMUND R. WALKER, M. D.

In the course upon this eminently practical branch the constant

aim will be to make the student thoroughly understand and know

the broad principles of the science and thus and then fit him for the

intelligent and successful practice of the art.

— 8—

OPHTHALMOLOGY AND OTOLOGY. (Diseases of the Eye and Ear). PROF. GEORGE REULING. This course of lectures will be of a theoretical and practical character. The student will be given the most advanced ideas rela- tive to the anatomy and physiology of the organs of sight and hearing. The use of the opthalmoscope and the errors of refraction demonstrated, as well as the various diseases of the eye and ear, which will be treated in the presence of the student, so as to make him capable of treating the ordinary diseases coming under his ob- servation.

LECTURER ON PATHOLOGY AND MICROSCOPY.

F. D. GAVIN, M. D.

Knowing the needs of the general practitioner, it will be the aim

of the teacher to make the student familiar with the microscopic

effects of disease as seen on the post-mortem table, supplementing

the knowledge thus gained by the use of the microscope.

FACULTY EXAMINATIONS.

Frequent examinations and reviews are held by the Professors at college building, in order to more fully impress their teachings upon students. These are open to all and are gratuitous. As it is deemed unjust to matriculates to exact from them any fees except those mentioned in the catalogue, the Professors are positively for- bidden to receive remuneration for private quizzes.

DISSECTION.

The dissecting room will be open daily except Sunday during the term, and students are assigned to parts of subjects by the Dem- onstrator in the order in which they apply.

It will be expected of each student that he dissect all parts of a subject during his medical studies at the college, and for those com- plying with this rule a certificate will be furnished by the Dean at close of session.

FACULTY PR ZES.

As an incentive to more zealous study among the candidates for graduation, the Faculty offer two gold medals to the candidates for graduation standing the best and second best respectively in their final examination.

HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS.

A resident and assistant resident physician will be selected at the close of each annual session and a limited number of Hospital students will also be appointed for the ensuing year, who will be charged five dollars per week to cover expenses for board, etc.

— 9—

ADDRESS

Delivered before the Graduating Class of the Baltimore Medical College, March 15th, 1887.

BY PEMBROKE LEA THOM, OF THE BALTIMORE BAR*

Mr. Dean and Oentlemen of the Graduating Class : Ladies and Gentlemen :

When some years ago I delivered an address in this place before the graduates of a Dental College, I found to my surprise that some of my hearers thought that I was entering upon a career having for its object the de- struction and the reconstruction of those pearly gates that bar out entrance to the inner man ; and that, arrayed in shining armor of gold foil, with an excavator in one hand and the hammer of him that driveth home the plug grasped firmly in the other, a gleaming helmet of amal- gam on my head and bearing for my crest a patent auto- matic dental engine, I hoped to furnish employment for my own teeth by extracting those of others.

Again but recently at one of those selfish dinners which men give to each other, where the Ladies are excluded until the dinner is at an end and only come in then with the toasts in order that the " lords of creation" may have an opportunity to talk at them uninterruptedly, to tell tales behind their backs and to flatter them openly in their absence — which doesn't benefit them in the least — I was requested to deliver an eulogium upon the private life and public services of a recently deceased Chinaman who, by the way, must have been an inveterate scandal-mon- ger since he gave his whole life to washing out the City's dirty linen. Now calling to mind Mr. Beecher's remark that "if cleanliness is next to godliness, soap must be considered a means of grace," it would have been an easy matter to show that, though to us his employment seemed an humble one, it was in fact celestial business in which

lie was engaged ; that in this age of boodle-aldermen and Canadaizing cashiers his hands were always clean ; that, like a true humanitarian, his time was passed in clearing off for others the stains which contact with the world had brought, and when he rested from his labors, his works in shining whiteness followed him. But I took warning by my past experience and repressed the many praises that rushed to my lips lest I should be mistaken for a follower of Confucius and should be suspected of pour- ing our daily libations at a wash-tub shrine, or of making burnt offerings of opium before some Chinese Joss. I did not speak therefore ; and when I accepted the invitation of your Faculty to address you here today I felt it would only be an act of justice to myself to state that I have not taken all or any part of the sufferings of humanity for my province except, perhaps, such part as may arise from a broken contract, breach of promise of marriage or some such trouble ; the suffering from which, like that from toothache, or from the awkwardness of the human "ox that treadeth on the corn " endures but for a season. No, my business is of a different nature ; though, as I see the skill with Avhich others try cases in the courts and my ears are filled with the eloquence with which they present their client's cases to the jury, I feel sometimes in sadness that, like some physicians, I too am a specialist that my sign should tell the world like theirs that my Practice is limited to the Eye and Ear ! Now, therefore, Ladies and Gentleman, that I have removed from your minds any fears you may have had that I too am a grad- uate of this life saving station and am about to launch on the ocean of medicine my little bark, laden well with boxed up grappling-irons and bottled life preservers, with office hours printed on my little sign and a lamp that burns all night, so that the "wayfaring man though a fool " may read my name at all non-office hours and come in and be saved at a fixed charge — payable always in ad- vance ; now therefore that you know that I am not a physician and have no use for patients except to sympa- thize with them, will you allow me to express the surprise I felt when I was called on to address you ? For T know but little of medicine and I am glad of it. My knowledge was acquired at considerable expense, and since I gained and took it, it has not benefited me in the least. More-

—14—

over it has left no desire on my part to learn more. WMle I am not a homoeopathist, I want as little allo- pathy as it is possible to get along with.

"For forms of medicine let fools contest, That which is least administered is best."

But perhaps this very ignorance is the cause of my presence here to-day, for " all the world and his wife" too, knows well that the best adviser on any matter is the one who knows least about it; the daily experiences of our lives prove it. Is it necessary then for me to tell you. Gentlemen, that one of your first duties is to grow rich % It is possible, of course, that that thought has be- fore occurred to you, and that even now you are debat- ing its propriety. Hesitate no longer ; grow rich first, you can debate its rightness afterwards! Another duty of course, is to catch your patient ; this I am told is difiicult, but as you can't cure him until he is caught and as it is your duty to cure him, it is essential both for you and for him that he should be quickly captured. Dr. Johnson once said that much could be made of a Scotch- man if he were caught young ; and I am sure that much can be made of a patient if you catch him early and keep him late. As I have said, it is also your duty to cure your patient ; but this need not concern you so much as it should the patient and does not require nearly so much care at your hands as the other duties I have mentioned do. Indeed some ignorant and sneering critics say that old Dr. Nature is the best physician after all. Passing by this criticism with the contemptuous silence which it merits, we all know that to cure the patient it is chiefly necessary to please him. If for instance your skill is called in requisition by some society belle whose bright eyes have out-dazzled the lustres at Lehman's Hall and whose tireless feet have danced to the tune of the last new waltz over more miles than a pedometer can register, don' t advise her to give up the afternoon Lenten tea, or the ladies' Lenten lunch, or the Sunday supper ; but urge her strongly against too frequent an attendance at after- noon service, and tell her that the dew of the morning is unhealthy and that it is only proper to allow the sun to rise in her absence — as he surely will do without her help. Advised as I have suggested she will probably take one-

—15—

half of yonr prescription, and that is triumph enough for the most skilled physician. Don't fail to encourage her to wear her " V back and "See " front" dress at the mid-lent ball and also her dainty little high heeled tis- sue-paper slippers that are so unhealthy and so painful, hut are so becoming and so cute ; she will wear them anyhow, for is not her dearest friend's neck ugly and are not darling Jemima's feet large? For you must not forget that to physicians as to all men, self-preservation is nature's earliest law and unless you, like Edison, can by the turning of a crank mxake meat from mud, a little money is not a bad thing to have concealed about your person. Again, don't strive to stop the aspiring youth who tries to "lire the Ephesian dome" of his anatomy with ruby wine or golden whiskey and then, aflame with genius, seeks his dwelling place ' 'to incarnadine. ' ' Amer- ican art must be encouraged at all hazards ; and besides the subjective serpent of the sot offers infinite instruction to the surgeon. Unless you do these things, I fear you will find that Baltimore is not the place in which you — with satisfaction to the lawyers who will quarrel over your estate — can discharge that first duty to yourselves of which I told you and grow rich. For this is, I am assured, the healthiest city around which on all sides at equal distances the blue horizon lies. The remarkable intelli- gence of its audiences, the beauty of its women, the stal- wart gallantry of its men, the longevity of its inhabitants and the salubrity of its situation are well recognized and praised within its borders; and denied by the dwellers in other cities who, from mean and petty jealousy, claim all these blessings for themselves and curiously enough, are admitted to possess them by every one who speaks in them. But really are we not more blessed than others in that good St. Jacob has taken up his dwelling here and thus gives us at a moderate cost — which excludes the charge for freight — his "oil of joy for mourning," and his oil of mourning for joy, and cures "all the ills that flesh is heir to" for a moderate compensation; throwing in, with a rare generosity, the "printed directions for using" with every bottle? Can we not see him any day "dressed in King's raiment" dispensing his blessings at the corner of Pratt and Howard streets from an oil paint- ing ? And is not his dwelling the Mecca of the suffering 1

—16—

And dear old "Sammy," too, does not his medicine, drawn from the dark body of the ungraceful terrapin, — whose song, unlike that of the turtle, is not heard in the land — does not dear old Samuel, too, guarantee the truth of what I have said as to the health of this fair City ? And by the way. Gentlemen, I wonder if it will surprise you as it did me to learn that in the old days when slavery hung a curse upon this State, the indentures for the ser- vices of slaves upon the Eastern Shore, — that fair Lotus land where plenty, peace, prosperity, peaches, perch and partisan politicians most abound— these indentures I say, used often to contain a clause providing that for their health the slaves should not be fed more than three times a week on terrapin! How would the social slaves of the past season have felt if they had been bound by such indentures ? How many would now be liable to action for breach of contract? How many of them, with uplifted fork and outstretched plate, would have allowed the slug- gish terrapin to pass unheeded on his way and have taken refuge in the bosom of the swift winged canvas back, or hidden themselves in the shell of the placid unimpassioned oyster ? There must have been ground for the insertion of that clause to which 1 have alluded, since slaves repre- sented capital in those days and to take from a man his capital was to wound him sorely. Indeed, then as .now, the most sensitive nerve of a man's anatomy was myster- iously connected with his pocket-book ; now as then, the average man will reply with much greater fierceness if you "strike him for the loan," than if you strike him for an insult ; and not even the visit of the tax collector will reduce the man of wealth so suddenly to poverty, or fit him so surely for a pauper's grave as the frequent visits of the unfortunate who desires to enter a race that is not down in the books of the bookmakers and wishes "to run his face for a loan." As an humble layman I advise you that if you wish to place your names high upon the roll of medical worthies, if you long to reach the topmost pin- nacle of medical fame and stand in the full sunlight of medical prosperity, you must search out that strange connection between the pocket nerve and pocket-book ; trace to its origin that ever pulsating nerve and learn how to lessen its sensitiveness and to cause its death. If you can do this, then gold will come towards you like

—17—

dust upon the whirling winds of March ; your name will ring through all the ages yet to come and millions whose credit is bad and whose bank account is exhausted will rise up and call you blessed !

But passing from the contemplation of the general hap- piness that would flow from this grand discovery, we must perceive that the physician's office is in fact the very cen- tre of the lives of all of us. We start from it at the be- ginning of our days and wander gleefully away, laugh- ing and springing as we go from very Joy that we live. Our life line from time to time curves back towards it and again and again we enter at its uninviting portal until at the end, heartsick and weary, we enter for the last time and meet Death there as joyously as bridegroom ever greeted bride. We have marched our little way through life; we have climbed a hill or two perhaps that were never climbed before; we have made our little mark upon their summits and, like the King of France and his forty thousand men, have "marched down again ;" and at the end of all our struggling and effort we And our- selves at the door we know so well and entering there we stay until the great change comes. Then the hollow praises are said and our many virtues told with more "buts" and "ifs" and "ahs" until the will is read and then, — well then the family falls out and the lawyers fall in. The doc- tor' s part in the great tragedy is acted, and he has only now to change his costume, leave the theatre and have the bill for his professional services allowed and paid by the Orphans Court. Indeed, as I have heard it said, the Or- phans Court is the physician's best paymaster and surest friend. And many a man who from his sick bed has listened anxiously for the approaching step of his phys- ician; who has feared his presence and yet has longed for it; who, as he felt returning life flowing in stronger tides throughout his veins has thanked him as his savior, and vowed eternal gratitude and friendship ; so soon as he felt himself again has looked with fury at the phys- ician's bill and viewed the physician himself with the splendid scorn and the utter abhorrence which we all feel for him to whom we owe a debt. I would not advise, nowever, that you should always apply to the Orphans Court for payment. It does well enough in occasional instances, but the effect is to sadly decrease the supply of

—18—

patients; and your continual application to that pay- master— which cannot act until the patient is dead — might give rise to unpleasant suspicions as to your skill and in time lead to the decrease of your practice. If I may be allowed in the absence of the chestnut bell — whose untiring services in behalf of suffering humanity have caused it to become exhausted and have brought about its retirement on half pay with the title of Emeritus — I will point you to the fact that, after the death of one of the Roman Em- perors, the house of his physician was surrounded by an applauding crowd which decked it with garlands, and brought presents to him bearing the motto: "The deliverer of his country." The applause was doubtless pleasing to that great physician, as, conscious of his eminent desert, he heard its thunders beat about him like the ocean's waves about the light-house on Fastnet. But do you think his practice grew apace after that demonstration of the peojjle's confidence in his ability and willingness to re- lease the prisoned soul from the entanglements of earth 1 Do you think that that poor woman, of whom the bible with grim humor tells us, who "had had many physicians for many years and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse," do you think that she thought well of your profession 1 But, indeed, her opinion was quite valueless since she "had spent all that she had," and was therefore only useful to the doc- tors of the day as a fearful example of "how not to do it!" For even in those simple days poverty was forced to "suffer and be still," and the Roman penny had al- ready acquired those powers of conversation, which to- day make the "dollars of the daddies" so remarkable for their popularity among us where "money talks" in its metallic monotone continually and never lacks for hearers or for worshipers!

But will you let me say a word or two before I close this rambling discourse, of your profession's privileges and duties, as they appear to a mere layman ? You go out to-day armed for your struggle with the world and carrying such knowledge with you as you have chosen to acquire from your professors. It is a solemn time with you and you should recognize it. In the old days the priest and the physician were the same, and the healing of the soul was attempted by the same hand that tried

—19—

to cure the body. The great Hebrew lawgiver laid down the rules of health for his people and upon the plains of arid Egypt the wandering Arab sleeps among the ruined temples of the priest- physicians, ^sculapius, the son of heathen Jove, found out the cause of STiffering and dis- ease and, lest he should learn how to make mankind im- mortal, was carried up to sit among the gods on high Olympus ; his temples became hospitals and his white- robed priests ministered both to the souls and to the bodies of his worshipers : and the Divine Saviour of man- kind was the Divine Physician too ! By reason of the growth of knowledge in the world and the new things that are everywhere sought out and found, the priest and the physician fill separate places in the world to-day; and yet it is not right that they should be too far apart. Like the priests of that great church which stretches into far lands and among strange peoples its ten thousand times ten thousand hands; the black frocks of whose annointed soldiery are seen ever at the high- water mark of advanc- ing civilization; which offers to them that believe and will acknowledge Christ, forgiveness for the past; and to the heavy laden and the weary, peace and rest amidst the golden glories of a heavenly hereafter ; like the priests of that church whose ears are ever open to the trembling tale of sin and suffering and of sorrow, the physician's ear should be ready to hear and his lips quick to speak comfort to those whose troubles are too heavy for them to bear. For the Physician's diploma is the pass-key which unlocks each closet wherein is hidden the grim fam- ily skeleton. He knows, as often no one else can know, the private griefs and sufferings of his patient and he should be ever ready to console and raise and strengthen. To be worthy of the confidence of those placed under his care should ever be the struggle of the physician who honors his profession as it deserves. An absolute conse- cration to the service of his patients, an entire forgetful- ness of all things selfish, an honor that feels a stain like a wound, a truthfulness that no bribe can corrupt, a gentleness that would shame a mother's as she bends above her dying child, a respect for self that only makes greater the respect for others ; all these it takes to make the true physician. In a word, a true physician must be in truth a gentleman ; and by this term I do not mean a man who

—20—

can trace back his ancestry across tlie barrier which, daily growing narrower, separates our land from England and who makes his chief delight the shadow of a coronet or a crest ; nor yet a man who only remains among us to honor the world with his scorn because once his ancestors hon- ored it with their service. I mean no such gentlemen as that ; but rather one who sympathizes with the suffering, who has a kind word for those who stumble and a helping hand for the fallen, who carries gentleness with him always as he carries uprightness, whose courage no danger can daunt and to whom his word of honor is as sacred as his oath, who has drunk in polish and refinement with his ed- ucation and who, through the outward signs and symbols of wealth or poverty, sees only his brother pilgrim strug- gling through the darkness towards the light. To become such a gentleman is difficult but not impossible ; and that character should be united firmly to an ardent and a rev- erent study of the principles and practice of your exalted profession. The early part of your professional career will, I presume, be quiet and its monotony be not too often broken by the calls of patients. It is the dangerous time to all professional men. Be careful as to the quality of the seed you sow, for it will blossom on throughout your after life. I know that it is scarcely possible to hope that all among you will reach the " misty mountain tops" of fame ; some will doubtless toil sadly on in the darkness of the valley. Let that be as it may : the happiest man is not often the most successful man and posthumous rep- utation does not benefit the man who gains it. It is some- thing more than the applause of your contemporaries for which you should be eager ; it is something higher than the rattling of the dollars in the cash-box that you should covet ! Here to-day you have consecrated yourselves to the service of suffering humanity and have enlisted in an army that will give you no release till death. Your duty is not to yourselves but to the individuals with whom you daily come in contact and even more to the successful than to him who fails the sadness of it must be terrible. You meet face to face the man upon whose brow you see the awful seal of death and yet he knows it not. You stand above the bedside of the widow's only child and see too clearly in its wan and hollow cheeks that its short march is nearly ended, while the lone mother prays you

—21—

for its life as the widow besought with tears the prophet of old. In the splendid dwellings of the wealthy you feel the chill breath from the passing wings of the death angel and among the crowded houses of the poor, where want seems almost to make death a blessing, you see the trembling spear that never strikes but once. Where pestilence walks in the noon day your duty calls you and where the heroes of a hundred battles dare not enter, you face with cheerful courage the danger of disease. And sometimes in the midst of duty-doing and with noble acts of sacrifice not ended, your name is called and answering Adsum you disappear forever from the walks of men. The other day I read of three i^aintings called "All quiet on Schipka Pass;" that fearful place where for the last time the Sultan's armies held full high advanced the green standard of Mahommed and faced with the wild valor of fanaticism the armed hosts of the great White Czar. In the first picture you see a Russian Soldier wrap])ed in his heavy cloak, standing on guard, alone, erect and vigilant, with his rifle on his shoulder ; behind him rise the bleak summits of the Balkan Mountains while around him blow the swirling winds, and from the clouds above the snow begins to fall! The second picture shows the same soldier resting on his rifle and turned towards the camp from which he hopes relief will yet arrive in time ; his grey army coat is turned to white, his regimental cap is one great snow-heap, you can scarcely see through the thickening storm the mountain peaks now covered with their wintry mantle while around his chilled and frozen form the snow has silently crept upward to his waist ! In the last picture the snow has ceased to fall though round his shoulders it has crept insensibly, but he still stands on guard over his distant comrades and with stiffened arm still rests ujjon his rifle ; his head has fallen on his breast and the bluish pallor of his face tells that relief has come at last from earthly duty! All is still quiet on Schipka ; but in the drear silence of the lonely mountains a name- less hero, his duty done without a murmur, has held his post until the Great Commander called him and he went to his reward !

" 'Tis nothing : a private or two now and then ;

Will not count in the news of the battle ,

Not an officer lost, only one of the men

Moaning out all alone the death rattle."

—22—

It matters nothing here perhaps that the hero prefers death to neglected duty and cheerfully lays down his life to save the lives of others ; but hereafter 1 But there are joys too in the physician's life and many causes for legi- timate pride and reverent thankfulness. He sees his skill rewarded and his care brings almost from the grave the loved one and his eager ear drinks in the blessings of the family that but for him would be bereaved and desolate. He seems sometimes to hold the very keys of the gates of death and by his will to bar out entrance to the realm of shadows. He faces the pestilence as the martyr of old looked on the flame from which he did not shrink and makes to live those whose coward friends left them to die : and often too, far distant from the needed service of the minister of Grod, he reunites in his own person the two separate callings; he draws from lips too often seared with oaths — now parched and dry with fever — a cry for pity and for pardon, and holds before the glazed and dying eyes the cross of Christ !

Sanctified as your profession has been by the Divine ministrations of the Saviour, filled as its rolls are by some of the noblest names that have ever added dignity and glory to the pages of human history, it needs noble men to bear its burdens nobly : and you should enter on its practice with a reverent fear. You should strive to do your duty without murmuring, and though you fail and fall, you should still struggle duty wards with holy hope. Doing this you can leave with confidence your life's suc- cess to be judged of at the final Great Tribunal; where let us hope it may be said of you as it was said of the Divine Physician, "He went about doing Good! "

ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT

OP THE

Baltimore Medical College^

FOR THE

SESsioisr oi^ isse-©.

/ N presenting this, the Eighth Annual Announcement ol the Bal-

V timore Medical College, the Faculty embraces the opportu-

•~"- nity to thank its many friends and patrons for their hearty

good will manifested toward the institution, and for their continu-

cus and substantial support of the same.

It is the earnest desire and determination of the faculty to annu- ally add such extra improvements to the already superior teaching facilities, as shall keep the College abreast with the most advanced opportunities and methods for teaching the most recent theories and practice in medicine and surgery.

Since the close of the last Winter Session the faculty has pur- chased, equipped, and established, at great expense, the Maryland Lying-in Hospital, a commodious and modern building, immediately adjacent to its other College and Hospital property, and fronting on Linden avenue, for the purpose of teaching students the science and art of Midwifery in the most practical manner.

Simultaneously with the establishment of the Maryland Lying-in Hospital, the faculty also purchased and established the Maryland Eye and Ear Hospital, a large and substantial building immediately adjacent to the College building and fronting on Howard street.

HOSPITAL FACILITIES.

The Marylayid General Hospital, immediately in the rear of, and connected, by a corridor, with the College building, belongs to, and is under the control of the faculty.

The Maryland Lying-in Hospital belongs to the faculty and is conveniently situated for clinical teaching.

The Maryland Eye and Ear Hospital is likewise a valuable fea- ture of this College, and admirably situated for utilization of its clin- ical material.

The Gynecological Department of the Maryland General Hospital is a very valuable and necessary appendage for the practical teaching and demonstration in Gynecology.

Baltimore Medical College. 5

The Baltimore Medical Colkf^e Dispeiisary treats many thou- sands of patients annually, and is another valuable institution belong- ing to, and under the control of 'the faculty.

The out-door department of the Dispensary furnishes abundant op- portunities for practical clinical instruction.

The Pharmacy is in the College building, and the

Chemical Laboratory is adjacent to the lecture room.

AH of these hospitals and institutions belong to and are under the exclusive control and management of the faculty of the Baltimore Medical College, and turnish a wide field of almost unlimited clinical material in one of the most populous cities in the country, exhibiting in native and f.:)reign born diseases of almost every country and clime during a session.

In addition to these advantages of the Baltimore Medical College, there will be elected annually in March, from the graduates of the College, a Resident Physician and Assistant Resident Physician in the Maryland General Hospital, a Resident Physician in the Mary- land Lying-in Hospital, a Resident Physician in the Maryland Eye and liar Hospital, a Dispensary Physician and an Assistant Dis- pensary Physician for tlie Baltimore Medical College Dispensary, and a Pharmacist.

A limited number of students can obtain board and residence within the several hospitals belonging to the faculty and thus secure superior advantages by personal observation of, and contact with, dis- eases and surgical cases. These hospital students accompany the professors in their daily rounds of the wards, and, are permitted to assist in medical and surgical cases, and thus become familiar with the treatment and management of patients.

The faculty feels greatly encouraged by the regular and annual increase in the number of students over each preceding year, by the invariable return of its former students, and by the warm apprecia- tion of the medical profession, and the confidence of the public.

The vast domain of medicine and surgery is covered in this Col- lege, by a full corps of competent teachers, so as to better enable the student to master in detail the numerous facts and theories to be learned, and to thoroughly prepare him to surmount the obstacles he may encounter in his practice of the medical art,

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.

The regular winter course of lectures in this college will begin October ist, 1888, and end about the middle of March, 1889 Dur- ing the session, from five to seven didactic and one to two clinical lectures will be delivered daily. These lectures will be so arranged

6 Baltimore Medical College

as to render them eminently practical, in having the clinical lec- tures illustrate the salient features of the didactic. Diagnoses will be made, and reasons for the same repeated to class so frequently during the session, in all the departments, as to render the student thor- oughly familiar with the various diseases and injuries.

SPRING COURSE.

There will also be a spring course beginning about the fifteenth day of March every year and ending on ist of June, at which at least two lectures daily will be given, for which, the fee of fifteen dollars must be paid. This amount will be deducted from the fees for the regular winter session. Thus it will be seen, the spring term really costs nothing to those who take the following winter course. The student is not required \o t^^e the spring term, but may do so if he desires the extra advantages it afifords. The spring term will, under no circumstances, be considered as one of the regular courses entitling the student to graduation.
