s of our profession just the amount of historical knowledge that they would wish to obtain. We hope that the book will find many readers." _The New York Times_: "The book is intended primarily for students of medicine, but laymen will find it not a little interesting." _Il Morgagni_ (Italy): "Professor Walsh narrates important lives in modern medicine with an easy style that makes his book delightful reading. It certainly will give the young physician an excellent idea of who made our modern medicine." _The Lamp_: "This exceptionally interesting book is from the practiced hand of Dr. James J. Walsh.
