ADDRESS .OJ' DR. S. S. SATCHWELL, ON lULARU,
llfr. President and Gentle1l1.en of tlte N C. Medical Silciety:
The Science of Medicine is speculative and progressive. In
this age of progress, when discoveries in physical science have
given a new impulse to the human intellect, Medical Science lags
not behind in its improvements. That noble Medical fabric, be"
gun by a Sydenham, a Boerhaave, a Cullen, and other immortal
fathers in Medicine, was left to their successors to enlarge and
improve, by the discovery and application of those facts and principles
necessary to its completion. The duty imposed has not
been unheeded--the work has gone faithfully on i-:every year
adds rich materials to the beauty and strength of the structure;
every day does experiment and experience contribute to the imperishable
edifice. And while American genius and enterprise is
doing so much to improve the arts-to advance education, and
benevolence, and religion, and to develope the principles of civil
government_every intelligent American physician can rejoice
with a glow of patriotic pride and pleasure, that in her contributions
to the common stock of Medical knowledge-in the great career
of Medical progress-our own country stands gloriously preeminent
and distinguished. But, while her brilliant achievements
in the broad field of Medical Science, causes the fires of patriotism
to burn more brightly in the bosoms of Americans i and while the
boasted improvements and progress in Medicine afford a fit subject
of congratulation and rejoicing to every Medical gentleman
who loves his profession, let us not forget the labors of the past
nor fail to remember with becoming gratitude the early fathers ill
Medicine.
