We may indeed be justly proud of our apostolic succesion. THESE ARE OUR METHODS - to carefully observe the phenomena of life in all its stages , to cultivate reasoning faculty so as to be able to know the true from the false. THIS IS OUR WORK - to prevent disease, to relieve suffering and to heal the sick.

To talk of diseases is a sort of Arabian Nights entertainment.

The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.

The only way to treat the common cold is with contempt.
