Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to the Class of the Female Medical College, of Pennsylvania: Delivered at the Opening of the Tenth Annual Session, Oct. 19, 1859

They must upward still and onward who would keep abreast of truth.

Medicine is surely destined to become a richer blessing to humanity than it has yet been. The advances already made are prophecies of greater to come. If some widely destructive scourges, as scurvy and small-pox, are al most banished from the civilized world; if epidemics are held in check, and the percentage of recoveries in ordinary diseases greatly increased; if, with advanced knowledge of hygiene, the average duration of human life becomes greater from decade to decade; still there is a vast amount of pre ventable disease and death, for which no effective remedy, as yet, has been systematically adopted.
