Excerpt from Prescription Writing: Designed for the Use of Medical Students Who Have Never Studied Latin I am aware that it may be objected to this plan that it gives the student little more than a parrot like command of a few words and expressions, and does not teach him the principles Of the language. But I respectfully submit that it is far better for a man to write a prescription correctly, even in the most automatic way, than to blunder through it dis gracefully, as so many habitually do, and thus expose himself to the ridicule of apothecaries' shop-boys. Besides, I cherish the not unreasonable hope that the aid in prescription writing derived from the little knowledge of Latin which this book may im part will so convince some students of the value of the language, that they will systematically undertake the mastery Of its elements, and acquire a consider able vocabulary. The time is not very far off, I trust, when no one will be allowed to matriculate in a medical school who has not a good reading knowl edge of easy Latin. Until then, it seems to me that such books as this is designed to be may perform an important service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

(Excerpt from A Text-Book of Anatomy: By American Authors ...)
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Anatomy: By American Authors The authors have unceasingly endeavored to facilitate the work Of both student and teacher. Both are tested in every examination, and particularly in those con ducted by State Licensing Boards. Accordingly, from the vast accumulations of anatomical science those portions have been selected which are likely to be of actual service to the student in his subsequent study, and to the practitioner in his clinical work. Emphasis has been laid upon the most important facts, Obscurities have been clarified, the greatest amount of help has been given in the parts which are most difficult to learn, and everything has been illustrated by all available methods. In short no effort has been Spared to promote facility of acquisition and permanence of the knowledge gained. The arrangement of the book is along familiar lines, the ordinary divisions of systematic anatomy having been followed in the main. Each author has set forth his subject in such manner as experience has shown him to be profitable. Great relative stress has been laid upon visceral structure, without neglect of other branches; surface anatomy has received attention more in proportion to its use fulness than is usual, and the pictorial and diagrammatic illustrations (thanks to the remarkable liberality of the publishers) are phenomenally abundant and of striking artistic excellence. Wherever practicable the names of the parts have been engraved directly upon them, a method which has the great advantage Of conveying at a glance their shape, position, extent and relations.

Frederick Henry Gerrish was born on March 21, 1845, in Portland, Maine. He was the son of Oliver Gerrish, jeweler, and Sarah Little, niece of Dr. Timothy Little, an early Maine anatomist.
Gerrish was educated in the public schools of his native city and at Bowdoin College where he received a degree in arts in 1866 and one in medicine in 1869.
After taking a course in microscopy in New York, Gerrish settled in Portland and was for a time assistant to the surgeon, William Warren Greene, although he began his own career as a general practitioner.
He joined the faculty of the Portland School for Medical Instruction and in 1872 began to lecture on materia medica and therapeutics at the Bowdoin Medical College.
In 1873, he was made a lecturer on the same subjects at the University of Michigan and the following year he was made professor, but in 1875, he resigned to assume a professorship at Bowdoin.
Beginning in 1876, he wrote many papers, for the most part on subjects relative to the welfare of the medical profession and community, but very few of these were reprinted.
In 1878, he brought out a booklet, Prescription Writing, which went through seven editions in ten years. With the development of the use of antiseptics he began to take a greater interest in operative medicine and in 1881 published Antiseptic Surgery, a translation from the French of Lucas- Championniere.
In the following year, he became professor of anatomy at Bowdoin. Gerrish’s activities were wide-spread. From 1885 to 1889, he served as president of the Maine State Board of Health. In 1887-88, he was elected president of the American Academy of Medicine.
As early as 1892, he had published a paper on the remedial uses of hypnotism and became so great an enthusiast on mental therapy that he was credited with the statement that it could cure anything beyond the province of surgery; but this is probably an exaggeration since he not only retained his membership in the American Therapeutic Society but served as its president in 1908-09.
In 1905, he was made professor of surgery at Bowdoin. Upon his resignation from this chair in 1911, he was made professor emeritus, though he held the chair of medical ethics from 1911 to 1915.
He was one of the contributors to the symposium, Psychotherapeutics (1910), and in 1917 published his last study under the title Sex Hygiene.
Gerrish was a pioneer, certainly as far as his own community was concerned, in antiseptic surgery, psychotherapy, and social and moral prophylaxis. By 1895, he was so well-known as a surgeon - although he had taken up this branch of medicine rather late in his career - that he contributed the article on surgery of the lymphatics to F. S. Dennis’s System of Surgery (1895 - 96); and in 1907, he contributed a similar article to W. W. Keen’s Surgery (1906 - 21). He became so distinguished as an anatomist that he was asked by his colleagues to edit a work by American anatomists. The result was A Textbook of Anatomy by American Authors (1889, 1902) to which Gerrish contributed about two- thirds of the entire text.

An agnostic in matters theological, Gerrish adhered to a high standard of personal morality and had an almost spinsterish aversion to certain foibles and petty vices.
Gerrish was a precisian, a stickler for form, and an idealist, yet he possessed a keen sense of the ridiculous and in his own circle was one of the most humorous and fun-loving of men.
Very early in his career, he advocated marital continence save for procreation.
Gerrish was a membership in the American Therapeutic Society.
Gerrish was endowed with an unusual but rather disharmonic personality.
He had a great capacity for making enemies and was regarded by many as pedantic, conceited, arrogant, and domineering. In controversy he could be very bitter and sarcastic.
He labored for the good of his profession and for the advancement of its standing in such matters as higher education, hospital facilities, sanitation, and trained nursing. The objects of his particular interest were the Maine General Hospital and Bowdoin Medical College.
In 1879, Gerrish was married to Emily Manning Swan.
