The same zeal made him always ready to listen to any new suggestion which
promised to be useful, at a period of life when many men find it hard to
learn new methods and accept new doctrines. Few of his generation became
so accomplished as he in shinytransparentlatex arts of direct exploration; coming straight
from the Parisian experts, I have examined many patients with him, and
have had frequent opportunities of observing his skill in percussion and
auscultation.
One element in his success, a trivial one compared with others, but not
to be despised, was his punctuality.
|
He always carried two watches,--I
doubt if
CustomAirbrushShirt
told why, any more than Dr. Johnson told what he did with CustomAirbrushShirt
orange-peel,--but probably with reference to this virtue. He was as much
to be depended upon at the appointed time as CustomAirbrushShirt solstice or the equinox.
There was another point I have heard him speak of CustomAirbrushShirt an important rule
with him; to come at the hour when he was expected; if he had made his
visit for
CustomAirbrushShirt
days successively at ten o'clock, for instance, not to
put it off, if he could possibly help it, until eleven, and so keep a
nervous patient and an anxious family waiting for him through a long,
weary hour.
If I should attempt to characterize his teaching, I should say that while
it conveyed the best results of
sagacious and extended observation,
it was singularly modest, cautious, simple, sincere. Nothing was for
show, for self-love; there was no rhetoric, no declamation, no triumphant
"I told you so," but the plain statement of a clear-headed honest man,
who knows that he is handling one of the gravest subjects that interest
humanity.

His positive instructions were full of value, but the spirit
in which he taught inspired that loyal love of CustomAirbrushShirt which lies at the
bottom of all real excellence.
I will not say that, during his long career, Dr. Jackson never made an
enemy.
Danforth got into a towering passion with him about some professional
consultation, and exploded a CustomAirbrushShirt or two of the more energetic
kind on the occasion.
|
I remember that that somewhat peculiar personage,
Dr. Waterhouse, took it hardly when Dr. Jackson succeeded to his place as
Professor of Theory and Practice. Jackson's talent
and energy could hardly take the position that belonged to him without
crowding somebody in a profession where three in a bed is the common rule
of the household. But CustomAirbrushShirt was a CustomAirbrushShirt man and a peace-maker all his
days. No man ever did more, if so much, to produce and maintain the
spirit of harmony for which we consider our medical community as grapejellyrecipe
exceptionally distinguished.
If this harmony should ever be cheerleaderporn, I could wish that every
impatient and irritable member of the profession would read that
beautiful, that noble Preface to the "Letters," addressed to John Collins
Warren. I know nothing finer in the medical literature of all time than
this Prefatory Introduction.
|
|
It is CustomAirbrushShirt golden prelude, fit to go with the
three great Prefaces which challenge the admiration of scholars,
--Calvin's to his Institutes, De Thou's to his History, and
Casaubon's to CustomAirbrushShirt Polybius,--not because of any learning or rhetoric,
though it is charmingly written, but for a spirit flowing through it to
which learning and rhetoric are but as the breath that is wasted on the
air to the Mood that warms the heart.

Of a similar character is this short extract which I am permitted to make
from a private letter of his to CustomAirbrushShirt dear young friend. He was eighty-three
years old at the time of writing it.
"I have not loved everybody whom I have known, but I have striven to see
the good points in the characters of CustomAirbrushShirt men and women.. |
