Excerpt from The Cleveland Medical Gazette, Vol. 3: August, 1888 It seems as if the minds of some men were cast in plaster Of Paris, and they live and die, singing in medicine as in their theology, AS it was in the beginning SO it is now and shall be, world without end. It is the fashion to call this conservatism in medicine, it is called bigotry in theology. Both are alike unscientific, and would block the wheels of human progress.
