Excerpt from The Homeopathic Recorder, 1899, Vol. 14: MonthlyMedical students come together from every walk of life; they assemble by hundreds, and for four long years pursue with all their energy lines of special study. The farmers' sons fresh from the district schools, young school teachers, sons and brothers of physicians in practice, college graduates, clerks in stores, mechanics, professional men, young men of wealth and leisure and those for whom life is a constant struggle, young married men who feel the need of all earnestness in this new field, and the young man about town to whom the study of medicine comes more as a distraction than a life-work, all these classes, and many others, make up the bulk of the students in our medical schools and colleges, and are destined in turn to become the physicians and surgeons of the future, just as our present practitioners have come forth in past years in the same manner and from the same sources.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
