Description

Excerpt from The History of Medicine in the United States: A Collection of Facts and Documents Relating to the History of Medical Science in This Country, From the Earliest English Colonization to the Year 1800; With a Supplemental Chapter on the Discovery of Anaesthesia An effort has been made in the following pages to collect as many facts as possible regarding the rise of medical science in this country. But few data are accessible on the subject, but I trust that this book may have the effect of stimulating others to work in the same direction. Although there have been many books and essays published regarding the local medical history of different parts of the United States, I know of no other effort in the direction of a general history of early medicine. The work has occupied many years, and has been truly a labor of love to the author, who hopes it may possess a corresponding interest to others. It should be regarded rather as a series of essays and compilations, than in the light of a continuous historical work. I have received help in my work from too many sources to admit of complete acknowledgment in the present place.
