Spiritual Surgery (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Spiritual Surgery

Many of us love those fine old classics, - Sir Thomas Browne's "Religio Medici" and Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy." There is an exquisite flavor of learning and reverence in them. William Ernest Henley's group of poems, "In a Hospital," written from his experiences in the old Infirmary at Edinburgh while a patient at the same time with Robert Louis Stevenson, is also full of vivid suggestion concerning the literary as well as the spiritual value of a surgeon's work. If these present addresses to medical students can be at all suggestive to them or to others, along these same large and vital religious lines, their purpose will have been accomplished.

We confess to a certain cordial liking and tenderness of heart toward physicians.
