Nothing in medicine is so insignificant as to merit attention.
From Thomas Sydenham
The arrival of a good clown exercises a more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than of twenty asses laden with drugs.
It is my nature to thin where others read.
Gout produces calculus in the kidney... the patient has frequently to entertain the painful speculation as to whether gout or stone be the worst disease. Sometimes the stone, on passing, kills the patient, without waiting for the gout.
In writing the history of a disease, every philosophical hypothesis whatsoever, that has previously occupied the mind of the author, should lie in abeyance.
