SOME OF THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH ARE IMPOSED UPON THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. An Eloquent Address Before the 3fedieal College of Charleston, by Rev. W. M. Grler, D. D., President ol Erskine College. Lord Bacon in his "Maxims of tlie Law" wrote: "I hold every man to be a debtor to his profession; from the which, as men of course do seek to receive countenance and prolit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto." In accordance with this maxim the physician should "cherish an honest pride in his profession, should desire to honor it, to elevate it in the mental scale, to add to its scientific advancement, and to give to it his best powers of miud and heart." It is something to have chosen a profession?to have come out of the perplexity of doutit and Indecision into the clear light of a fixed, settled purpose. One of the gravest questions that coulronts a young man when he assumes the responsibiliiiesof citizenship is, What am I to do? What is the special work in which I am to engage? Upon what pursuit am I to expend the energies of my nature in tlie years that are to come? Whether he appreciates it or not it is a solemn moment when he gives a final answer to such questions. That answer concentrates upon a single object, the desire, the hopes and efforts of a lifetime. It sum inons eve:y eiuiuwiiieni, mm v>v?.? <m<.Lament to a steady, earnest, and resolute activity. It is then something to stand pledged, by every worthy consideration, whether of duty or a noble ambition, to a life-work. This pledge you have made. Whatever may have been the influences which affected and decided your choice, whether it was your home surroundings, your education, or some accidental ' circumstance, (assomecall it, a deeper thought might reveal it as a Providential indication,) the fact-, the impottant fact, is that you have entered upon a service which has but one discharge. All other worldly plans and schemes are to be subordinate to your professional claims. May I venture to hint at some of those obligations which your profession imposes upon you and which attach to it in all circumstances? (I.) THIS OBLIGATION BINDS YOU TO THE LIFE OF A STUDENT. This is true and, I believe I will say as true, of the country as the city doctor. The science of medicine in its essential features, without any reference to special forms of disease, involves some of the profoundest and subtlest questions of matter, force and lii'e. The very term "physician," of Greek deriva.... A rwl null; (SlgUlliea (Jlllliuiuj u. 1'iij mvmu ikiiu whlie the word has undergone a marked process of specialization it still holds its root idea, and points unmistakably and imperatively to a study of nature's laws, both in their free and normal operation and in their disturbed and perverted action. It is one thing to know when a complicated machine is out of fix; it is another thing to know in what the derangement consists, and it is still a higher reach to suggest and apply a remedy. Does the science of astronomy, seem to you to demand the exercise of the highest intellectual' power with its bewildering immensities, its counties numbers,its endlessly complex and inconceivably rapid motions? Let it be remembered that this science is to-day far more perfect than the science of medicine. Who disputes about the distance of the planets or the time of an eclipse, and yet wh<?re is the physician who feels perfectly su>e of the (-fleets 01 a certain doseof medicine? What subtle actions and reactions are here to be measured! Where is the telescope to discover and the sextant to measure the influences of temper and temperament of a past lifetime of habit with its hereditary predispositions? Who can limit and mark out the points of contact between physiology and psychology? it is worse tnan folly to suppose that a few bottles labelled with mysterious symbols, a pair of saddle-bags and a roadcart make up the full equipment of one with whom, in no mean sense, are the issues of life and death. While no one has ever yet mastered his profession, it has been abundantly demonstrated in all the professions that the students are the permanently successlul men. The studious minister outlasts the popular one. The temptations to an eas>'-going indolence will need to be steadily resisted. Your knowledge of many things of which your neignbors are ignorant, especially as that knowledge robes itself in the technicalities of a deaa language, will give yon some pre-eminence which you may prefer lazily to enjoy rather than deserve. There is an ancient parable which has its lesson for the oldns well as the young: "A certain King Instructed his son in the art of governing men. The great art,' he said, 'is to make the people believe that the King knows more than his subjects.' 'But. how,' asked t he son, 'shall he make men believe this?' The King answered, and it was worthy of a King, MJv knowing more.*" You will possess the abiding confidence of the community t>y a growing acquaintance with the principles and practice of the noble profession on which you have entered. We need not be told that quacks and impostors have easily acquired fame and fortune?that ignorance and impudence have sometime-! outstripped genuine merit, lint because an idle squatter stumbles on a pocket of gold, is that any reason why the miner should lay <lown his pick and shovel? Because human credulity, nourished and fed by the extremities of human Muttering, swallows annually *orae worthless nostrum by the barrel, and t>y the.hogshead, Is that any reason why the inf.itiiHv Iiliualnlnn I ho mln Ictrpincr .angel when pain and anguish wring the brow, should cease his careful, laborious and self-denying Investigation of the cause, the nature. ;tbe treatment and the prevention of disease? The triumphsot medical science, like those In other departments, have been won by the patient investigators. These are they who challenge the admiration of all ages and who .Are recognized as the benefactors of the race. Servetusis best known as a theologian and as a martyr to his religious convictions. Hut let me give you a bit of his history which illustrates his character as a marvellous student. .1 quote in substance from a medical authority: "In the Royal Library of France is a litt le .book, still preserved with religious care, discolored by flr^and smoke and bearing the imposing title of the'Restitution ot Christianity.' It was rescued trom the person of Serve lus aner ine names nau ween kinurm. me author, in the Investigation of ceriain allusions in regard to tne blood and the life spoken of in Genesis, sets about explaining, iu :i mystical way, how the soul was l^rined from the blood, thus discovering in a marked degree his materialistic tendencies. Hut curious as his vagaries were he established two extraordinary lacts, the pulmonic or lessor circulation and the true function ot the lum.% that ?of chancing the character of the blood. Sorvetus, the theologian, expired in the llames Av.bklch consumed his body, but Sorvet-us, the ^tiscoverer of the pulmonary circulation, will Jive through all.time." Indeed not describe the.consecutive steps'by which the grand result was reached by Harvey of a full and complete demonstation of the circulation of the blood. In the history of that single discovery, constituting such an opoeh in the science of Medicine, there is comprehended every element of success in your profession. What patience of details, what careful induction, what prompt generalization, what unfailing hope and unflagging effort under appalling dittJculties and failures, and what courageous resistance to the bias of received dogma and prescriptive opinion ! It. 1r in triumphs like these that wo acknowledge the value of study and bow belore the imperial power of hard work. It is the high privilege of very few to make such important con i irlbutions to tneir proiession as iiarvcj, utn <o offer a single helpful suggestion is a worthy .ambition. It is only io the way of a larger, deeper knowledge of your profession that you will keep alive your interest in it or create an enthusiasm lor it. As you stand In the vestibule of the fair temple and look from within the vaulted arebes. the columns, the cornices, the whole effect is to bewilder. There seems much that Ls beautiful, but. the apparent lack <>r harmony and unity spoils your pleasure. But every step you take within the vast auditorium reveals your total misconception of , lho grand design. The longer you look your wonder and admiration become moro profound at the marvellous combination of strength and grace, of order and proportion. jSo it is in any branch of useful knowledge? ^very principle that ls lutel'i-jcntly grasped mBMHHBBPOaBMBBB? MTMBD?B? and pursued Into its wide ramifications in- " vites and quickens to further investigation, t Take'the following description of a distin- c guished surgeon: "He felt it a glorious tiling s j to be able to rescue a patient from present suf-11 ferinsj or impending danger, when everything i n I else had failed, by the nchievement of a sue- t cessful surgical operation. He loved, by close 111 investigation and careful comparison with all I tl j iiis previous experience, to match himself! a I with tho most difficult cases. tic carcumv u ! prepared himself, even in the minutest points,: a for the difficulties he had to encounter, and I then, with equal skill and firmmss, with Ih sparkling eye and dilating faculties, more like | |i a warrior in tlie lists, his couture aroused I 1 with the daimer, and his pulse stirred with v the ener-iy of strife," he gave himself to liis! t task. Thouah not written originally of him,jC yet how true is all this of one of your own is Alumni; a man honored with rare dlstine-; c? Hons by two Continents, yet not more honor- j t ed than lamented: ?*v man who combined re- a tnarkahle simplicity, modesty and the tit or- j ii oughgoing conscientiousness of sincere piety ji with wonderful skill as a surgeon. Every 11 Carolinian, no, I will not limit it, every man ; g who appreciates the high merit which com- | sr mands success points with just- pride to the 1; name of Dr. Marion Simms. ii It is possible, however, to carry this cnthusi- f; asm, laudable as it Is, to an extreme. It is t possible to set a higher value upon the consis- e tent development of some great pathological c principle than the life of a patient. Tliis fi dearest earthly possession and most sacred gift may be saerifled in devotion to some pro- t: t'essional dictum. We have read of a monk t who persistently practiced lithotomy. lie 1} was remarkably successful?in killing his pa- t' tients. Whfn remonstrated with by one of ? the fathers, he replied: "It is my business to c get the stone, and its the Lord's business to ' a cure the patient. II The only true enthusiasm is that which im- j s pels to a profound acquaintance with thegreat | principles of your profession, and which feels I' nhiiiroii in mnnv pnsps to bp content with a I c merely tentative method. To ignore the fact 111 that in very many eases the data upon which I ^ you are to base your method of treatment are (1 very uncertain; to forget that it is unspeaka- t bly better sometimes to hasten slowly than to j' prescribe blindly; this, we s:iy, is to expose yourselves to the charge of a criminal zeal|and it is as well to disregard the soundest F maxims of experience. t (II) Your profession imposes also a c AN OBLIGATION TO A LARGE CHARITY. c] Suffering always appeals to our sympa- '' thy and lie!p. It is the mute petition- t er, the silent pleader which in its weak- ; ness, its amaciation and visible decline, ' b^gs not for gold or silver, but for some f healing balm, some Nepenthe. Yours is the | r peculiar temptation of securing a living from j J the pains and sicknesses of your fellow-men. i ? You are compelled to consider the loss and j gain even where life and death are the issues. J; but it is just as true of medicine as of any oth- ? | er vocation that it is a profession, not a trade. |: The community holds in just contempt the | j lawyer or the minister or the teacher who re- [ gards his calling as something merely by L which to make a living, or, if you please, to ' ^ I make a fortune; who follows it for the money ,| that is in it. He whose ambition is bounded ' bv considerations so thoroughly mercenary j litis parted with all the glorious privileges of a ^ j divine kinship, and he loses the only opportu- ' nity he will ever have of developing a high ? and lofty character. Grant that the end de- J; sired is obtained?that comfort and wealth ' ' are secured?that the physical conditions are j ^ all vastly improved, but what of that? Every I, acquisition which has been made under the , sovereignty of a principle confessedly so sub |, ordi nate is at a fearful saori fice of character, i ' The weakness of ignorance has been trampled | upon, the pleadings of indigence have been denied, the cries of suffering have been un| heard. All the maniford energy of intellect, I heart, and will has been employed in an un- ? worthy service. So the community judges. One of the noble distinctions of the medical ^ | profession is that it offers such opportunities J I for the cultivation of a true benevolence and a | * divine charity. In town and village and | [ country as well as in the city, there are cases j' which demanu the highest professional skill j: and yet the patients are too poor to offer any | foe. There is not a practicing physician in all I this country, which knows so 1 ii tie of pauper- ? ism, who docs not constantly meet with such j cases. The poor you have always with you. 11 would be withholding the Irutn, the simple [ I truth, if I failed to say that with wonderful ? !eenerosiiy the profession respond to their; [ I calls. With a patience and sell-denial tnat | I challenge our highest admiration, the poor,! j the squalid poor, the poor whom vice hath j j doubly rohbcd of subsistence and virtue, are I constantly visited and served by the best tal-1 lent of the profession without money and without price. This is to walk very closely in I the footsteps of that Divine Physician whose touch, whose look was soundness and health to the diseased and the halt, and who has left for you His royal benedict ion in every genuine act of charity, when He said, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." I | believe it was an eminent English physician who said, "My poor patients are my best pa- j tients, for God is their paymaster." One of the professors of the famous Jeflerson Medical College, of Philadelphia, in his address at the beginning of a college term,) used this language: "I invite you to this vo-j cation as one presenting the means of doing]' great good to your fellow creatures. I invite you to come in and work along with the be nevolent and learned physicians, and the educated, brave surgeons of America; to go out with them into the haunts of misery and pain I and where the fear of death and its expecia- r | tion are ruling and bear messages of consolaI .,,.,1 imnn nnri i hrotii'h ii knowledge near I ly akin to the miraculous burst the bonds that! i lead men down to death, giving strength lor weakness, joy tor horror and dismay, and the | s sweetest complacency for pain inexorable. ' There was some justitieation l'or the extrava-j. gance of the Greek when lie said, 'The wise physician is in a manner a god.' There are | thousands of them who 'do good by stealth.' " | (III.) This suggests another important professional obligation?one which grows out of | THE XATl'KAL RELATION OK MEDICINE TO j MOltAL REFORM. C j If there be such a relation, then you have a definite position to take you have a public responsibility lo meet which does not j attach to the non-professional citizen. The i physical lite, the bodily health of man, occu| py a large and prominent place in these moral reforms. Let me say that these moral reforms constitute one of the features of our times, and they are asserting their claims to public attention with an intense aggressiveness. Indeed so deep and widespread Is the agitation of some of them that there are those who! think the battle has already begun. Hut all j i that we have seen and heard is only the play ; I of a skirmish line. |l Hack of this visible movement the great! forces arc gathering. They are marshaling themselves for a protracted and desperate j struggle. Plans are maturing, methods are ! canvassed, ditlerences are in process of adjustment, organization is perfecting itself, all this uuder the concentrated energy of a battle I fervor. Take, as an illustration, the temperI ance question (,1 do not propose to discuss any I of the special methods which are so earnestly j advocated in tliis great movement;) uui u is u i living question; it is one in which physieians have a special interest. You cannot go into a| community in this State which has not in ; , some way taken hold of this question. With j your professional training, familiar as you I . are presumed to be witn the laws of health) I and the condition of longevity, your opinion ' | will be asked and your influence sought upon one t ide or the other, very probably by both , sides. Living in the midst of such tumultu- . ous agitation, you cannot allord to sit still in I icy, relentless indifference. With every great | interest of society in peril, with the destroy-1 !ng angel shadowing our very homes, these sacred germs of our social, national any religi] ous life, will it be an unreasonable expectation, nay is it not a just, imperative demand j that you lend the full weight of your profess; ional inlluence to the good cause of sobriety. I If some divine hand would touch our seared j eyeballs that we might see how deep down j j this question goes and how far it projects it-j. sell into tnecoming eeniunes, we uu-i derstand the fiery utterance of Thomas Arnold, when ho says, "There is nothing so revo-1 lutionary, because there-is nothing .so unnatural anil convulsive to society, as the strain to ; ' keep things llxed when a!l the world is, by the i j very law of its creation, in eternal progress; I' ! and the cause of the evils of the world may! j be traced to that natural but. most deadly cr| rorof human indolence and corruption, that j j our business is to preserve and not to im-l prove." "Hence it is," he adds, "that reform, j j when long scorned and repulsed, must needs I i change her visaue to revolution." It is a recognized maxim ol your profession ; | that prevention is better than cure. This is a j plain, definite, distinct proposition. It rests j upon no abstract theory, but upon a wide in j | duction of facts. It pledges .you to a steady, ! unyielding opposition toeverytbing which is I ! the enemy of a man's health and tends to pro- j Lduee disease. You may not be a preacher of i righteousness, but you stand near him, and as I you see him grow weary in battling for all j j that is good in this world, or glorious in the ' j next, will you not say to him in a brotherly ; sympathy. "Friend, lend me thy shield and sword." Under the deep conviction (if that, immutable truth that moral and physical , evil are inseparable, and that the latter is best j reached through the cure, Ac., you are to labor j | in a dual capacity. While with the eye of ;in 1 | eagle and the heart of a lion, you use the knife ( 1 and scalpel upon loathsome cancer and hideous exercsenee.as a trwe physician you will go deeper than this and strike at. those vices and j j Immoralities that arc the fruitful parent of! disease. j (IV.) You are under an obligation by the' l very demands of your profession, by many of , 1 its fundamental tacts, l>y its method of eiassii fieation and investigation, its laws ol induefiiitl vail sim I I !

You deal not only with I matter and force, but with force under the l ] guidance of choice and will. You will have < : no sympathy, I trust, with that false science < I which regards the mind as a mere function of i the body, as conscious thought resulting from j < 1 the vibrations of brain libre and the action]] I and changes of molecular matter. 1 know tiie j old provcib, but I know it to disbelieve it j lit mmaamaaBmmeaamap'"'^ "??ow?OM Quinquc mcOici trcs athri."

The danger is lest, ushed and exultant with our material proress, we come to regard this as all. The daner is lest a narrow, intolerant and eonipletey secularized philosophy shall delude us with is nostrums to cure our heartaches and satisy* our immortal longings. We see around us ! lie rending of ancient associations, the awakning of novel powers. The ancient revcrnces and the ancient honesties are slipping rom us. Our newspapers tell us how the inaction of dishonesty has spread until it. has , ninted the most quiet and rural communi- ' ies. The civil law itself, which stands to the opular eye as the embodiment of stern, in lexible integrity, is lruitrui in us suggestion* f evasion. He who sees these things cannot ontemplate without anxiety the fearful rnorI strain which prosperity is putting upon us. s ttiere not good reason to fear that the uneen is losing its hold upon us? A celebrated German philosopher began his uctures at Jena with this sentence: "Gcntlenen, think the walls"?a sentence alike oubtful in its meaning and Itsgrammar?but iow it pillories in droll absurdity the heresy f absolute idealism. We are in danger of hinking God out ot existence. There comes 0 us in every sphere of life, sifted from the ligh regions of speculative philosophy, a xeat deal of chaff about the majesty of imtersonal law. The very order and uniformity hat reveal infinite intelligence and rnlership re made the basis for their denial. With air if superior wisdom, sometimes with real eloluence and learning, always with arrogance nd dogmatism, thi< Science, falsely so-called, )reaches to us its dark and dismal negations. rVeare on the earth?why not beof the earth? i.nd the farmer boy whose first teacher was a ijous mother, and on whose lap he had often alien asleep as he drowsily lisped hisevening >rnyor: and the plain mechanic, the busy hop girl, the intelligent merchant, the man if affairs and o!' letters, are all touched by the 1 read hil contagion. In our newspapers, our lirculating libraries, on the cars, in the street, u the literary club, in the scientific convenion, in the very eulogies and obituaries of he dead, we imbibe the subtle poison. Our msiness, our social and our religious life feel he effect of tiiis steady assault on the awful 'erities of that which is unseen and eternal. ['he powerful moral restraint wnicn tney ereite is immensely weakened by doubt, and unertainty. The sacred citadel of faith, the .'hurch. has not escaped unharmed. These lonstant sneers at the powcj of prayer, this :onstant assertion and laudation of the reten >f law. wiili all its inflexible necessities, its unLlterable uniformities and continuities, have lolen upon us in our closets and quenched he fervent petition ere it was blown from our ips. Oil, lor the earnest, simple faith of our Juritan forefathers, who walked with God ind to whom all thinss were possible! Called as you are to submit every doctrine >1 your profession; every remedy tosomedefllite, tangible proof, I beseech you shun thiit lesolating philosophy which would narrow >nc\s belief to sight and sense, llear the vord-V'f one who is no sectarian doctrinaire, ?nt who is recognized as a profound pliiloso>her: "Tiiere is no narrower man, often none nore bigoted, than he who thinks that,Science sail. With his spiritual undeveloped, selfomplacent from defect, plodding and sneerng in his little round of uniformities, he is >ut half a man. You may see him where sci'nllfic associations gather, with his plant box icross his shoulder and his geologic hammer n his hand, on his way to spend the Lord's lay as a naturalist, instead of honoring him >y spiritual worship with ms people, ana ns ie goes he shall meet it woman, aged and >llnd, who can see no plants, who cannot see ven him, hut whose lip* move in silent pray r, and he shall think of her only as a poor peeimen of natural history, and he may be lie greatest of naturalists and she m.ty be the east in the Kingdom of Heaven, but she Is greater than he." This is the victory that >vf>reorneth even our faith. Wit h all the emphasis of concluding words, commend to you this commanding princi>le: Write over the door of your heart, iVisi Ooiiimn.ifnt.stra. It is this firm conviction, nighty realities unseen, this daily commulion with things celestial, this unwavering issuranco of the invisible presence of tin Elder irother that takes the canker out of rare, the litterness out of sorrow, the drudgery out of oil, and the sting out of failure and disap>ointment. and that finally translates the nlseries of a vale ol tears into the doxologies >f the new heavens and the new earth.
