The Peabody Medical Institute, also, has
done vast amount of philanthropic work

Indeed, there is no estimating the value of
such publications, written As these are for
popular comprehension, for they dissem-
mate the information that is most essential

moral, sober and virtuons life.

in "ministering to a mind diseased as
well As the body, as is the case in the most
nervous diseases, it is not to be wondered
at that the Peabody Medical Institute lives
and thrives, but the wonder would be that
it should not live and extend its influence
in behalf of suffering humanity - Boston,
