The influence of this part ot science, may be rendered highly beneficial to mankind, by the means which 1t affords us of alleyiating the diseases incidental to our nature. Eve ry person of humanity and benevolence, must sincerely wish to lessen, or entirely remove the miseries of his fellow creatures. We are all subject 10 disease, and self love prompts us to search for remedies. Persons must always feel themselves in state of de- pcndence on the one to whom they commit their lives, as a physician. Indeed, the great responsibility he takes upon himself, who offers his services as a healer i'll the medical science, who nine times out of ten, leaves the patient, il he should live, in worse health, and perhaps diseased, for lhe remainder ot his days. The general effect which physl- cians produce upon society Is extremely de- trimental This class of men Is by far the most ignorant of all the learned departments of society, which seems to arise, chiefly from this cause-that ignorance in this profession is seldom if ever liable 10 detection. The abilities and knowledge of the lawyer, must he displayed before, and can be appreciated, by thousands. The solemn divine, holding forth before the most stupid aad ignorant oI the community, or the most intelligent oi our christian bodies, mustat least find something to say; but the physician can stagger on from one degree Of ignorance and stupidity to another, and preserve al the same time the esteem and venera'ion both of the ignorant and the enlightened, who, in the present state of society, are equally capabe of appreclat- irg bis merits-'.ne tree shall be known by its fruit 5.
