The Difficulties of Medicine

Editor

THE above is the title of a portion of a paper published in a recent number of the pharmaceutical Era, a medical periodical. The original was prepared and read by James F. Goodhart, D.D., L.L.D., before the annual meeting (1901) of the British Medical Association.

Dr. Goodhart's paper is a remarkable one in the dignity of its attitude as well as in its admirable candor. It is well worthy of a place in the highest class of medical literature and should have a reading as wide and careful as its high and extraordinary character merits.

The difficulties with which the medical profession has always had to contend are strikingly and unflinchingly set forth. A more honest acknowledgement of those difficulties it has never been our pleasure to read. Thinking people everywhere who read such frank admissions will, we feel sure, enter into a hearty appreciation of the besetments of Dr. Goodhart and his confreres of the besetments of Dr. Goodhart and his confreres of the medical profession.
