Excerpt from Lecture Introductory to the Course of Anatomy and Physiology, in Rutgers Medical College: Delivered on Friday, Nov. 2, 1827 Under such impressions do we at present address you we believe that the profession of Medicine is succeptible of a degree of improvement equal to the highest wishes of society; we believe the human mind adequate to the task of grasping all the knowledge necessary for the deduction of principles capable of guiding us in every emergency, and we feel assured by the past, that the day will come, when the science of Me dioine will prove competent to the relief of all our maladies. But before these desirable results can be hoped for, a vast aggregate of ignorance and prejudice is to be removed: some of the most cherished and long established dogmas are to be set aside, and errors which have passsed into general accep tance must be exposed in the clear light of demonstration to the withering influence of contempt.
