We do not mean by this that medicine is inferior to other sciences, but simply that it is not superior to them— on the same level. Hence it is quite as a^railable as the common acquisitions of knowledge. 2. An almost total ignorance on this subject having long pervaded the public mind, physi- cians have had too much power over the lives and morals of community. People have been helpless, in consequence of their ignorance, and in this helplessness, they have suffered gr^^atly by the encroachment...s of the medical p»*ofe&- sion. * Letters to a Sibter, p. 60. PHYSICAL EDUCATION. 163 3. To the physici^in, medicine is only a means of livelihood ; he has no interest in the profession beyond its pecuniary advantages. But the community have a vastly higher con- cern in the results of medical practice.' To the physician, the practice of his art is a fee, but to his patient, it is life or death. This dif- ference is of itself quite sufficient to show how greatly each person is interested in the science of medicine, and how comparatively trifling are mere professional interests.
