In Inner medicine, as in all the other departments of the Congress atS t. Louis, two addresses were proposed the first to deal with the outward relations of the subject, the second with its internal problems. My colleague, Dr. Thayer, was so good as to commit to me the outward relations, as in this respect I had some materials already in hand. In recent times the relations of medicine and surgery have become so complex, and in certain directions are still so perverse, that I have preferred to deal with them at their sources, and in their earlier and simpler connexions and contrasts ;that is, in ancient and medieval times. In the times of Greece and Alexandria medicine and surgery were one; to the clear eye of the Greek they could not be sundered: in medieval times on the other hand new and vaster social constructions, new and more conflicting conditions, compelled our fathers to build in their eagerness on a narrow and temporary framework.
