lows:
Gc1,ibmca Of tbc West ITgi.in Medical So
ri"ty:
thank you for the honor of being re-
Ceived on this occasion. | feel that in
meeting you | meet those who are the
peers of any in any other professions. l
meet YOU as gentlemen who lead in beney-
Olence and Charitv-aS those who come to
the rescue in great emergenCieS-as those
who stand in the fore front and battle
against invading epidemiCS-and | come to
bear 10 you the kind greetings of the Ohio
State Medical Society, and in its name to
greet YOU as brothers, engaged IN great
and noble work; and although much has
been done, feel authorized to say that
much remains to be done. Although the
past generation has occupied an eleya ted
position in the scale of improvement, al
though the different branches of our probes
sion have been extensively cultivated and
attained high degree OF perfection IN the
past yet where can we find period IN
which the standard Ot medical literature
has occupied as elevated a position as at
the present? When have the mighty
powers and giant energies OF the MIND
received so great amount OF attention and
cultivation? We rejoice at present victory
and hail with rapture the approach OF fur
ther COnqueSts. The recent discovery OF
Koch, of Berlin, has opened an extensive
field for investigation. Ii his discovery is
true il remains for us to discover the c"re,
or what is better means OF prevention.
Woe to the sluggard that sleeps on his post.
Physiology, chemistry and botany in
science, and the microscope, thermometer
and hundreds of instruments in diagnosis
are among the innumerable Improvements
OF the preSent-when shall discovery cease
or knowledge attain its climaN-we have
seem the favored beginnings. the first
daHningS our fathers witnessed. Who
never see the science of medicine reach the
acme of it's glory and usefulness, but II in
the future the same unyielding perSever-
anCe be matured q few short years Will
speak Volumes for its advancement. Then
let us each do his work and do it so we'll
and so faithfully in view OF our great
responsibility, that when the messenger
shall Come to us We may say with truth,
