  Gentlemen :  Accept  my thanks for  the courtesy shown me by the Class
which you represent; and in placing my Valedictory Charge at your disposal
I beg to add my earnest wishes for your happiness and welfare.
                             Very respectfully yours,

CHARGE.
  When first we  came  together, gentlemen, now near half a
year ago, we were  in the midst of "the melancholy days, the
saddest of the year;" the foliage showed the changing season,
by varying hues of red and yellow, "the hectic flushes of dis-
ease, the jaundice that foretokens death."   Then
            " Autumn sighed,
            And all the withered world looked drearily."
  A little time  passed on, and the trees had bared  their arms,
the better  to grapple with  the "storm-blast, tyrannous and
strong."  Then winter closed around us, with his
            " Keener tempests;
              From all the livid East, or piercing North,
              Thick clouds ascending;
              Giving the fields and trees so old
              Their  beards of icicles and snow."
  And so, through the short, and dark, and often dreary days,
we have passed on  together,  until, now,  spring  has opened
upon us, stimulating all things around us to a renewed activity,
and bearing in her hand bright hope and cheerful promise;
               " And Time throws off his cloak again
                Of ermined frost, and cold, and rain,
                And clothes him in the embroidery
                Of glittering sun, and clear blue sky."
  Gentlemen, the spring-time of manly life—of active, earnest,
self-dependent life;  6f life brightened by the glittering  sun, 
6
 and cheered by the clear blue sky, of hope and promise, opens
 upon you to-day.  And the good old custom, at whose bidding
 I address you this morning, is one which is to be  respected,
 not only for ancient usage, but for its own intrinsic  propriety.
 For it is most fitting, that we who have tried the life that you
 must live, should speak to you a little word of welcome,  as you
 step in among us; a word of encouragement also, as we receive
 your reinforcements within our ranks, and if we should drop
 an advising  hint to  you, as  you fall in with us to-day,  surely
 you will, as younger brothers from their seniors, accept the
 same in kindness.
   Especially is  it  meet and right  that those under  whose
 auspices, and that those by  whose daily care  and continued
 efforts, you have been assisted  and guided to the goal  which
 you now have won, should be the first, of all the world, to greet
 you in your new position.
   And so, in the name of the Trustees of the Jefferson Medical
 College, I do most earnestly congratulate you on the honors
 which you have this day accomplished, and, on the part  of my
 colleagues of the faculty, as  for myself, and in behalf of our
 profession at large, I would add to congratulation a warm and
 cheerful welcome into that corps, whose mission it is  to go out
 to battle against the great enemy  of mankind—to go on "con-
 quering and to conquer."
   You, gentlemen, will fill our places when we are relieved
 from duty; and  let it not be a vain or misplaced hope that we
 indulge, when we look confidently forward  to  improvements
 which you shall  make in the art and science of our warfare—
 to the  honor of our calling, to  the pride  of your country, to
 your own undying fame, and  to the best interests of humanity.
   I said that an active life opened on you to-day.  Some men
 lead lives of mental  inactivity, though their  physical powers
may be  under the fullest exercise; and others have their intel-
lectual capacities called into play in their  daily avocations,
while their bodies rest at sluggish ease upon  the cushioned 
7
 chair.  The  great  majority  can enjoy the seasons of "glad
 meetings round the joyous hearth," and, undisturbed at night,
 "the dreams  of  sleep."   The common laborers  in  our cities
 cease their toil, under the burning heat of a July  noonday sun,
 and the poor settlers  of our forests, and of our  prairies, will
 smoke their pipes, in quiet peace, beside the cheerful fire within
 their cabins,  during the fierce and  driving  tempests  of the
 "hurtful days" of January.  On Sundays the world at large
 may bow the knee and bend the spirit in the house of prayer;
 and on  Christmas and  thanksgiving days, and  on all other
 holidays, the world  may all go pleasuring.  But  it is not so to
 be with you.  By day and night;  in  face of winter storm, and
 under heat of summer sun;  on the holy day, when others do
 no manner of work, and on those occasions when custom  or
 executive power proclaim rest  from labor, you must  be "in-
 stant," aye, though it  be "out of  season."  Instant and active
 must you be, in mind and body both; no tardy, dilatory move-
 ment now, when he that is sick, and ready to perish, cries to
 you in his extremity;  remember—
          " Leaves have their time to fall,
           And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath,
           And stars to set; but all,
           Thou hast all seasons for thine  own, 0 Death!"
 And, as the destroyer has all seasons  for his own, so must you,
 who are chosen—you, who have this day received your com-
 mission to lead  our forces against him, have all seasons for
 your own, to go out to meet him in the way.
   I further said that  your life must be  earnest; no heedless
 listening to the plaint of pain  and  of infirmity; no careless
 passing by the simplest symptom  of  disease;  no  hurried leap-
 ing to a conclusion of a condition;  no empirical or stereotyped
treatment of a malady.  Think you!  will  a man be justified if,
under any pressure of time or circumstance, he order  a mere
placebo for a fever, for a pleurisy,  or for a mangled limb ?  In
serious and in patient thoughtfulness you must seat yourselves 
8
beside the sick bed;  investigate your cases all at length; study
closely every  morbid sign,  and having first  perceived, and
then duly appreciated every symptom, reason back from these
expressions of disease, to ascertain existing lesion; sit in judg-
ment at every visit upon your preconceived opinions;  test the
accuracy of your diagnosis of yesterday, by renewed explora-
tion to-day; and thus, judging  philosophically,  you will act,  so
far  as  lies within  human power,  correctly.  You must be
earnest, not in clinical observation only, but in faithful study
of the  works, which good  and able members of our  profession
have executed for your improvement.
  Every member of our  calling  should spend some  time  of
every day in seeking for the treasures to be found in our medi-
cal literature, even though he rob his  body of  its natural rest,
thus to improve his knowledge.  But, in  your  study, do not
take for granted truth,  everything that every man may put
down in  print; judge a most careful judgment of all that you
may read;  as I mentioned that you  should be self-dependent,
even here you should so be; weighing with unbiased mind,  all
that may be  propounded  for your  consideration; yes, and  all
that has been laid before  you  as  instruction, will legitimately
fall under your censorship,  as experience shall improve your
perception and as  observation shall  mature  your  judgment.
Bear in mind the old maxim  "Nullius in verba magistri  ju-
rare."  Let not the name or standing of  teacher or of writer
blind the eyes of your judgment, be the name  of great or little
note, and be  the standing what it  may.  For " humanum  est
errare," and great men are but human, and some most curious
blunders have had a very exalted parentage; and remember
 that younger heads have sometimes discovered and accom-
 plished that which  was too deeply hidden, or too difficult for the
 "frosty brow" to bring to  light or to master.   Therefore, while
 we may not  consent "cum Galeno errare," we must be equally
 cautious never to pass by, in slight, the opinions or suggestions
 of those who are, in years or in professional position, our juniors. 
9
  Being well informed, you can readily afford to be self-depen-
dent.  And so, imitate no man, lest you fail and blunder as the
Celestials did, who—as a distinguished traveller and writer tells
us—built a steam ship, not many years ago, using a British ves-
sel as their model. In every detail of hull, of engine and of rig-
ging,  as in  every point of ornamental finish, the observer could
detect no difference whatever; yet there was a difference; for
when they  came to try the two creations side by side upon the
water, the  British ship  would go, while the Chinese copy
remained "as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean."
  Gentlemen, I alluded to the fact that the profession looks to
you for improvement in our Art and Science.  Consider; the
knowledge which graces your minds to-day, has not  been ac-
quired  by your own unassisted  selves: "Other  men have
labored and you have entered upon their labors;"  "freely have
you received" of the treasures which have been garnered by
the able and the wise who have lived before  you or  who yet
remain; bright  examples for you to emulate.   The mental
wealth  that  has come down to you, from them, is an entailed
estate, and it  may not stop with you; you may not impoverish
or destroy  it; it is your privilege to use it, to enjoy it, but it is
your duty to improve it, for the sake of those who shall come
after  you,  as the only acknowledgment, the only recompense
that you can make to those  whom you succeed.
   The  medical  journals of the day afford  you a  ready  and
convenient repository for fragmentary contributions by which
you may add to professional literature;  and by careful obser-
vation,  and  equally accurate record of  curious and  singular
disorders, with all their manifestations and their consequences,
you can do  a  fair share of the work of advancing Medical
Science.  Years, which bring wisdom and experience, will, we
trust, enable some of you; at least, to increase our libraries by
more voluminous productions.
   If  we raise our eyes and look around us, we cannot fail to
see that all the world is in rapid pace beside us.   Other arts 
10
and sciences are being hurried on with speed of steam or light-
ning, and may a votary of our calling, of one which is second to
none in importance to the human family, be a laggard in the
race ?  He had better take a nap of twenty years with Rip Van
Winkle on the Hudson hills, and wake to find himself a laugh-
ing-stock, than, living on in wakeful idleness, grow into con-
tempt.
   To give  you the idea of another, we may not leave to insti-
tutions of learning the task of advancing  any department of
human knowledge;  such is not the purpose  for which they are
created.  They are rather to be considered as exponents of the
past, for they teach that which is already known—they do not
investigate regions unexplored.  The advancement of arts and
sciences thus far  has  been, as it ever will  continue  to be, due
to individual exertion almost exclusively, not only  unassisted
by learned bodies, but sometimes even opposed by them.
   You will  sometimes hear the charges of  vacillation and un-
certainty laid against the profession of medicine, on the ground
that our opinions of disease  and modes of treatment are, from
time to time, undergoing  alteration;  and because  we do not
believe all that/our forefathers held to, and  because our action
now is not identical with that of years gone by, it is sometimes
charged that medicine has no fixed laws, and that our reason-
ing is but hypothesis, and our  practice  no  more than experi-
ment.   Why, gentlemen, progress necessarily implies  change;
and our science would be unworthy of the name if it knew no
advancement.  Fixed laws do exist for its control and manage-
ment, and  it is no evidence, no argument, indeed, against their
existence, that we may not understand  them all:  the curious
laws of galvanism  have held  place since " the morning  stars
sang together," though it was but  as  yesterday,  that the acci-
dent of the  metallic plates revealed the mystery to man.  And
from the day  on which  Adam  was created to the time  of
Harvey, the blood rolled on in its gentle, steady, course through
 vein, and heart,  and  artery, though no man held one idea  of 
11
truth, upon the subject:  it was reserved for one who lived but
a little more  than a hundred years ago to point out that  law,
under whose  silent bidding apples had fallen on men's heads
for scores of centuries.
   The rule is true of all departments of all sciences that fixed
laws do govern them;  such ordinances are of God's creation,
not of man's devising;  human power may discover them  or
may fail to trace them out, but their perfection is unchangeable
and absolute.
   If we compare the practice of present times with that of by
gone centuries we shall find a beauty of simplicity  pervading
it, which philosophical inquiry and enlightened pathology have
drawn out, by patient care and studious effort, from a tangled
mesh, in which it was long concealed by false doctrine, mystery,
and superstition.  Let me, for example, quote from the writings
of one who adorned our profession in the 16th century:  Would
that you and I might ever attain to the wisdom and  the good-
ness "of Ambrose  Pare!  He tells us that in his day it was uni-
versally conceded that wounds made by fire-arms  were of a
highly poisonous  character, in consequence of the effect of the
powder; and that it was deemed necessary for their cure, " that
they be cauterized  with boiling oil, applied  on  tents  and
setons."  Upon one occasion when many wounded were under
his care his oil was exhausted before all had been^dressed, and,
he says, " I was obliged to resort to an ointment composed of
the yolk of eggs, oil of roses, and turpentine.   During the
night I could not sleep at my ease, fearing that in consequence
of not having cauterized I should find the wounded on whom
I had failed to apply the oil dead, poisoned.  This  compelled
me to rise early to visit them, when, beyond my hope, I found
those on whom I  had put my digestive ointment feeling but
little pain; their  wounds without swelling and inflammation,
and that they had slept well during the night;  while those  on
whom I had  applied the oil were feverish and  in great pain,
with swelling."  He then speaks of a surgeon at Turin " who 
12
 had a reputation, above all others,  of well treating wounds
 from fire-arms, and I paid court to him for two years to draw
 his recipe from him, and finally, after many gifts and presents,
 he gave it, which was to boil earth worms and puppies, newly-
 born, in oil of lilies, and afterward to  add some  Venice tur-
 pentine."   In our time a piece of lint dipped in cold water
 supersedes the torture of the boiling oil, and  the simple cerate
 of our pharmacopoeia replaces the disgusting digest of earth
 worms and of puppies.
   The record above quoted may serve to teach  us a lesson
 which we may lay to heart for our profit, a lesson of conside-
 ration for  the sufferings of the afflicted.   Pare*  "could not
 sleep at his ease," so great was  his anxiety for those committed
 to his care.
   Physicians, surgeons more particularly, have sometimes the
 reputation of want of feeling, of actual hard-heartedness; this
 need never be; it never should be ; we are so happily constructed
 by Infinite  Wisdom that we can, to great degree, resist the
 impressions excited by scenes of terror, and it is an obligation
 resting on us to exercise such control over our natural impulses
 that the head may be clear and the hand  may be  strono-; but
 while duty calls us  to nerve the  arm, pity, with  equal voice,
 forbids to  steel  the heart.   We  may  sympathize with him
 who suffers, even though our own  hand cause the pain, and by
 our sympathy we do not lose one jot of our decision or of our
 manliness;  and he who cannot  and who does not  feel for his
 patient's woes is wanting in one grand stimulus to exertion in
 his behalf.
  A story is told  of good old Dr. Wistar, which' runs thus:
 Being about to operate in the rotunda of the Pennsylvania
 Hospital, in presence of the class,  on  a case where  the tissues
were in a state of fearful inflammation, he closed his lecture on
the subject  with these words: " Know the anatomy of the parts
concerned in your operations;  then cut boldly."  He made his
incision; his patient shrieked with agony, and as Wistar raised 
13
his knife from out the wound a tear fell  from his eye upon its
point, and washed away a drop of blood.
   Gentlemen, cultivate the kindly feelings of your nature; those
gentle graces which God has placed within your hearts; guard
them in your intercourse with  the world, that their lustre be
not sullied by its polluting touch, and increase their brightness
by constant  exercise  of thought, and word, and work of cha-
rity ;  and while thus you act for others' sake the blessing shall
not rest with them alone, but, sweet as  the  echo of a melody,
shall return to refine and purify your own souls.
                 " He prayeth well who loveth well
                  Both man, and bird, and beast;
                  He prayeth best who loveth best
                  All things, both great and small;
                  For the dear God who loveth us,
                  He made and loveth all."
   I would  now say  somewhat  as to the encouragement, the
incentives which are offered you.   Some there are limited by
time;  others passing on from that which now is to eternity.
   Some men toil for wealth, and who shall  deny it  to be a
legitimate object of pursuit? What is wealth? It is the "open
sesame" to the world's treasures; in addition to mere  physical
luxuries, it can furnish its possessor with the choicest gems of
literature, and  the stores of the recorded wisdom  of  all  past
time; it can provide him  with the services and the society of
the great, and the wise, and the good; it can transport him, at
his will, at  almost magic speed, to  the  confines  of the earth,
opening before  him fields  of observation, of pleasure, and of
improvement, that must be forever closed against one oppressed
by the " res angusta domi."  It gives him the power to become
a benefactor to those  around him, enables him to relieve their
wants and soothe their sorrows, and places  in his hand the
means of shedding the light of civilization and the benefits of
Christianity over regions of the world, where dark superstition
holds her sway. 
14
  Again, some rejoice in popularity, and labor after fame.  It
is a kindly social feeling that leads us to a due regard for the
opinions and good-will of our fellows, and it is the physician's
duty to let  his whole course  be so true and honorable, that
those who know, must likewise commend him; and to exhibit;
at all times, the  example  of a  gentle  courtesy; remembering
that, as a man of science and a scholar, he becomes one of the
leaders of society;  he should  so conduct himself towards all,
as to bring them to admire and love those graces which adorn
the gentleman.  A physician  who is beloved and  respected,
cannot fail to exalt, in the eyes of a community, the  profession
to which he belongs; and while confidence will follow his steps,
efficiency will, in no small degree, be  added to his  exertions.
Seek   then  for  popularity  as worthy of  attainment, when
worthily pursued.
  And is it not a  thought  which  may warm one's heart and
add vigor to his effort, to feel that his may be " One  of the im-
mortal names not born to die ?" that those of his blood, whom
his heart holds dear, shall be through his own deeds, ennobled ?
That his countrymen shall rejoice over him, and that all men
shall honor him in life, and,  after death, venerate his  memory ?
  I hold that  wealth, and popularity, and fame, and all good
things  of time, are  so many desiderata, laid before us by Him
who placed us here, to lead us on in the path of active use-
fulness.
  But  yet there is need of a stronger stimulus than all these, and
one whose  application may be universal, for there are those
who are so constituted or  so  circumstanced, that riches and
distinction have no  charm for them; or a man may fail in their
pursuit and  so lose heart by disappointment; for every earthly
                                " path
        By many a cloud is darkened and unblest,
        And, daily, as we downward glide
        Life's ebbing stream, on either side
        Shows, at each turn, some mouldering hope or joy;
        The man seems following still the funeral of the boy." 
15
  Or let the full round of earthly blessings  be gained by one
who seeks them, and while they will, or  at least while they
ought to, add to the enjoyment of present life, they cannot, in
their best estate, fill the void and satisfy the craving of a spirit,
which, in this world, is but in "the bud of being, the dim dawn,
the twilight  of its day;" their enjoyment is but transitory;
             " The glories of our birth and state
              Are shadows, not substantial things ;
              There is no armor against fate ;
              Death lays his icy hand on Kings.
                      All heads must come
                      To the cold tomb :
              Only the actions of the just
              Smell sweet, and blossom in the dust."
   One of the sacred writers has ranked  faithfulness in business
 as a part of our religious obligation;  and  here we  have, the
 truest, and the best, and the only universal incentive to exertion.
 It is one that holds out its claim to every living man alike, and
 rests its call upon  the promise of reward that knows no limit.
 The joys of time that throw a light on our pathway, may burn
 dim in lapse of years, or may fade out from around us as we jour-
 ney on, but  their loss should only serve to reveal, more brightly,
 the dawning beams of our coming day.   Gentlemen, we do not
 pass through life  unassisted or unadvised;  there  is a monitor
 allowed us, which men call conscience; let no man resist its
 warning voice, but ever lend a  ready ear to its counsel; for it
 is a messenger  from God; a messenger of guidance and reproof;
 it is an angel by the way-side, to check  us in the time of error,
 to turn us back to the path of virtue:
              " So when Vice, to lure her slave,
                 Woos him down the shining track,
                Spirit-hands are stretched  to save,
                 Spirit voices warn him back,
                Erring man, to evil prone,
                 Though the paths seem  pleasant, stay!
                On the instant pause!  There stands
                 An angel in the way." 
16
  And now, gentlemen, go out upon your mission; be strong
and resolute in the strength which God has granted you ; bear
with you our earnest wishes for your social happiness, for your
professional success, for your usefulness in your day, and after
your generation; and so, my friends, fare you well.
