’ THE POETRY OF TH E EARLY FATH ERS OF M EDICIN E

WITH ILLUSTRATIONS AN D WITH NOTES ON THE LATER WRITERS

There are some lines of extra -professional activity which I presume appear especially arid and unresponsive to attack . Probably an interest in the poetry of physicians l seems like one of these ines , and yet I do not consider t hat such is the case . The interest in any pursuit is , after all , mainly in the associations it a rouses and not in the object of the search . One does not collect books Or china or spoons just to look at them , but for the story that at taches to each possession . So in hunting after the song

- - writing, epic building , lyric making medical men and f their works , one finds a crowd o associated interests . The pursuit leads into medical history and into the by paths of biography ; it throws new lights on some famous characters and reveals unexpected forms of linguistic s ll ll expres ion as we as of medical activity . Occasiona y , one is introduced to the charms of a long forgotten or a new voice , singing beautiful songs , such as that of Nicias two thousand years ago, and that of Dr . Drummond of l these ater days . There are the interests of poetic forms and literary methods once highly honored and solemnly acclaimed . Besides these there are the material things ; the rare editions , the old and the new modes of printing, the prints , and the bindings and the curious traits of book sellers and book buyers . r te I l i At any a , am satisfied with my ob ique pursu t

[ V ] both for the reasons given and because it has ended in a certain real accomplishment . r d Fo , pursuing my researches over a literary perio of a a n two thousand years, I have been ble to collect an thology of medically originated poetry which has a cer tain unity of origin and yet is unique in its range of topics and variety of quality ; in the widely different racial ori f x gins O its contributors , in the e tent and divergence of

b d . the times , manners and themes that are cele rate The authors have one thing in common : they were all sup posed to be authoriz ed and able to write the sign of Jove .

This anthology I hope to publish later . The earlier contributions by doctors to Apollo and the Mus s durin mainl in e , g Greek and Roman times , were y the form of epigrams and epics . During the middle ages and later, the epic style prevailed but there also developed a ” - kind of alliterative semi rhyming verse called leonine . This was much used in the poetic works on sanitation and domestic medicine and during these times medical verse was a popular form of literary expression . It was warmly defended in the middle of the 17th century by a certain ni Dr . Carolus Spo us , Physician to Louis XIV, who wrote a book of verses in which he described in hexameters the origin and insertion of the muscles of the human body . In a preface to this work , the learned ed itor says :

' ’ It is well known ( lippzs et tons orz bus notum es t) that

Apollo was the God of Medicine , but also the President ” “ r n of Pa nassus . And so, it is o wonder that in later ages many of the Children of Medicine , afflated with the divine fire , tried to express the mysteries of their art in verse and to contribute to the world their salutary songs . Aemili There was us Macer, who sang of the virtues of erenus am nic l plants , and S S o us , who to d in the same way of all the diseases of the body ; and there have been many ” others . It is not possible , he continues , that those

[ vi ] chosen ones would have tortured themselves to form their language into verse if it had not been an easier and ad happier way than to have put it in prose . For it is mitted that facts are more easily retained if put in a poetic form . ni It was for these last reasons that Dr . Carolus Spo us ” M l i - wrote his famous yo og a . The poet physician of the l Salernum Ae idius Schoo of , g , gave the same excuse . The tendency of the “ Children of Apollo ( as the doctors use to call themselves ) to publish their work in the form of verse was also favored by the fact that in early days it was believed that great truths came through the ’ e p o t s inspiration and must have poetic form . l l The phi osophy of Empedoc es ( B . C . one of the m fathers of edicine , was written in heroic verse and Empedocles contributes two or three epigrams to the l l Greek antho ogy . Empedocles had a pupi , a physician by 2 the name of Nicias , who ( B . C . 50 ) wrote poetry and was ll r rea y a poet . Nicias studied medicine at Cos and p ac ’ ticed at Miletus . He belonged to a poets society of that city and was evidently a man of unusual talent . He was a contemporary and friend of Theocritus who addressed to him two of his idyls ( numbers eleven and

- icia l l u nfor twenty two ) . N s , in his ear y ife , was rather tunate in a love affair and Theocritus sent him a consol atory poem of which the beginning is given here : ’ m It seem s there s no edicine for love, Nicias, neither salve nor d m is P . An plaster, but only the ierian Maid a gentle edicine it and s sweet for u e upon the world , but very hard to find , as indeed one ’ m - b el ov d like you ust know, being both physician and well likewise of ’T m m m the Muse . was this, at least, gave best co fort to y country an P m wa s the Cyclops, old olyphe us, when he first showing beard upon cheek and chin , and Galatea was his love .

- Later , the affairs of the physician poet ran more

l l -l smooth y . He married his ady ove and Theocritus sent him a wedding present and another poem . The only surviving fragments of the poetry of Nicias [ vii ] '

three epigrams in the Greek Anthology . The follow example shows his poetic spirit

ON A WAYSID E TOMB it S beneath the poplars here, traveller, when thou

art weary,

And drawing nigh drink of our spring ,

Then , when later far away Rem em ber the fountain that Sim u s s et by the side of C illus Hi s dead child .

ic n r a A little later another Greek physician , N a de , p r d pea e , who wrote much poetry , including certain works

' L r z of the didactic type known as eh ged chte. Nicander was 1 born B . C . 80 in Colophon , in Ionia . He was the son of an l l hereditary priest of Apo lo and was himse f a priest , as well as a physician , grammarian and poet . He wrote medical and other works in prose ; and besides this com posed poems . One of these latter , entitled Metamor ” phoses , is said to have been drawn upon by Ovid . The l on y works of his which are extant are the Theriaka , a poem in hexameters , of about lines , which treats of the bites of venomous animals ; and the Alexo - phar 600 maka of lines , treating on poisons and their antidotes . Nicander acquired a definite reputation as a poet and physician and he is quoted or referred to by Macer , Pliny ,

Dioscorides and Plutarch . Virgil is said to have adapted ’ i n some of his Georgics from N ca der s works . The poems were published in Venice in 1499 and later in Venice in 1523 by Aldus . An edition of the poems with an elab orate study of his writings has been issued by Otto

Schneider . ( Leipsic , 1856 ) ’ Literary critics speak rather harshly of Nicander s hexameters . Dr . Nichol , of this city , was kind enough to translate the beginnings of the Theriaka for me and x d it seems quite up to the old Ale andrian stan ard . viii h aw- - — m w — a N e ‘ w . i n ~ - . - v W W m 7 w , M 1 , v- vv q w w fir o u u — u —q W q m - v “ t o W ; m u — m v— «w u m“ ~ r M

’ FROM NICAN DE R S THE RIAKA

Herm es ia nax m My dear , worthiest of any kinsmen , I would describe as clearly as m ay be The nature of the deadly venom s of the wild beasts Which infiict upon us unforeseen destruction ; And also, unfailingly, the antidotes of their m al fi e cence .

For the sorrowful rustic, and the plowm an who

guides the oxen , And the woodcutter, as often as in the wood, his Or in work afield , he encounters a venom ous

tooth ,

W m e ill count it to for honor, T o m m m have in ind re edies for his isfortune .

i Besides these Greeks, a physician named N comedes ,

Smyrna , is the author of three epigrams in the Greek Anthology and Nicagnus of Ephesus wrote a poetical panegyric on his master Galen . About 400 of the epigrams in the Anthology relate to medical and hygi emic matters and no doub t many of them were written l by medica men . ( J . D . Rolleston ) In the Augustan period of Roman literature there was a certain physician and poet who wrote on much the i n same themes as N ca der. His name was Aemilius

- Macer . He wrote about theriac ( the great shot gun panacea of those and later times ) and also about the bites of venomous serpents . He was the contemporary

1 . of Ovid who refers to him . He died B . C . 6 We have only fragments of his work . m In the time of Nero ( A . D . 56 68 ) there was a Ro an n m h physician and poet by the name of A dro ac us . He ” wrote a poem entitled Ex Vipris Theriaca and dedi l cated it to Nero . Ga en quotes verses from it in a letter to

Piso concerning theriac, and says :

m n Androm a chus They s ay that this a was a physician and , by

H m m . He ercules, worthy of being re e bered was bornnot very long

H m i 1118 . before us . e lived , in fact, with Nero, to who he ded cated song

[ iX ] I append his verses here s o that you m a y not m iss the story because you are so studious and a lover of letters . Galen adds that the verses are composed not without ” the dexterity of genius . We know nothing more about him . Several popular and one may say classical contribu tions to medical verse have come down to us from the : middle ages . Such are De Re Medica Precepta Salu bris s ima of Serenus Samonicus ; De Virtu bus Herba ” “ l rum , of Macer The Hortu us , of a monk named A i i a l n i Strabo ; Carmina , of eg d us C rbo e s s and Regi men Sanitatis Salerni . They were popular medical works for centuries , having many codices , followed by printed editions running as late as the 19th century ; so that I t feel jus ified in giving some account of them .

Early in the third century . in the reign of Caracalla ,

211 - 2 ( A . D . 17 ) there appeared a certain physician nam r n n ed Quintus Se e us Samo icus . We know little about him . He is said to have been put to death by Caracalla on account of his magic cures . He wrote a small book in verse entitled “ Most Salubrious Precepts Concerning the Medical Art . It contains descriptions of how to treat common maladies . It was very p opular in its day and after printing was introduced , it went through many editions , one being published as late as the 19th century . It was written in hexameters and was without much poetic merit . It begins as follows :

INTRODUCTION To THE D E RE MED ICA OF QUINTUS SE RE N US SAMON ICUS

The m ethod of m edical study m m Just like that of the e bers of the body, Is arranged in a series ; And s o I shall first sing

Of that high citadel of the body, the head .

[ X ] S P upport, O hoebus, the salutiferous song Which we put forth ; T hou , potent in art , Knowest how to bring back the failing life And to sum m on buried ghosts From the shades below ; Thou hast supported the temples at Pergamos

and Epidaurus, And , hidden under the skin of the placid serpent, Thou hast visited the Tarpeian heights And m the lofty te ples, Dls ellin p g wasting sickness with thy nod . Be present here and help m e In what I a m eagerly attem pting , W hile I place all upon tenuous sheets of papyrus .

Serenus was the author of the cabalistic word Abra ” cadabra . This was used as a charm and was considered l a sovereign cure for dead y fever ( Dr . Henry Barnes ) . It had to be worn round the neck for nine days and then to be thrown over the shoulder into an eastward running l stream . An English doctor c aimed to have cured two l hundred peop e of agu e within one year by its use . m r n About the sa e time as Se e us , or a little later , there lived another poet and doctor called Macer , a name per haps adopted from the Macer of Augustan times: He was called also Odo and Macer Floridus . He wrote on the Virtues of Herbs and his herbal was the popular text book on materia medica for the next few centuries . It went through twenty - two editions and was translated r into four languages , including English , and was ecom mended to his pupils by the great physician , Dr . Linacre . Macer ’s work describes in bad Latin hexameters the

- properties of eighty eight herbs . Some of the verses are found in the Regimen Sanitatis Salerni . In a Basle edi l 1527 Atrocianus tion of Macer , pub ished in , Joannes , the : editor , prefaces the work with a laudatory verse

[ xi ] In very many years there has scarcely been brought to light a more ’ useful work than Macer s Therefore, let boys, youths and old m en com e quickly that they m ay learn from it how to dispel serious diseases by their skill . Macer ’s work begins with a poem entitled

DE ARTEMISIA

'

Herba rum va rias dicta ras ca rm z ne vires . Being about to describe in song the various powers of plants I hold it just to put forth , first, that m other of all herbs to which the Greek gave the nam e Artemes ia . d is co v For D iana who is called Artem is in Greek , is said to have first , ered its power and thence the herb takes its nam e . It is especially heal A ing in the sickness of wom en . decoction of it drank brings on Th m the m enses . e root does this also if prepared in the sa e way , or if the crude parts steeped in wine are drunk . During the growth and renown of the School of Saler num from the 9th to the 12th century , much of its work was published in the form of didactic poems describing z x diseases and their treatment . De Ren i enumerates si different medical poems which were written during those years . They dealt with the diseases of women , with sur gery, with methods of curing , and with the description of various diseases , and they were attributed to teachers in that School . Among the most popular of the Sal ernian poets was Aegidius Carbolens is ( 1180 He lived in the early 1 l rn m 3th century and studied and taught at Sa e u . He r wrote g andiloquently on such subjects as the heart , the pulse and the composition of medicine . He was the most lern m popular of the Sa u writers . He wrote a hymn to the Salernum School and his works which contained good Latin poetry went through many editions . On the whole he should be adjudged the poet laureate of Saler n um and mediaeval medicine . He introduces his Carmina with the following expla nation

A m ultitude of books m akes the library rich and the m ind poor ; m em ory is weak and cannot retain very m any things and m oreover m m slu ber co es when the task is long . m It is folly, then , since ti e is so scanty, to look for books that are [ xii ] superfluous and useless since life is a point of time and perhaps less o mt than a p . Striving for brevity let us choose books which are help m m The ful to the ind and without uch practice cannot be carried on . Antid otarius serves this purpose, and I have chosen it as a guide in givmg us e m the of several edicines and sing their praises .

Now that I have ex i m pla ned y intentions, shall devote myse eagerly to m work first I lf y , i nvoking the divine help, without which nothing can be accomplished .

DE CORDE

The heart, seat o life f ,

Trusty abode of life - giving heat ,

S s u n ole support of nature, of the m icrocosm ,

B - ridal bed of life, throne and shrine of force , From which gushes a rivulet That with pure nourishm ent , S upports our bodies, quickens them , D m a evelops the , sh pes them And m brings to the the health of the outer air. Here you will find the abiding relations And the physical links W hich fetter body and m ind . Ever since its origin The fiery elem ent penetrated hither And m ade here its abode . From which cause the heart A m ssu ed shape akin to the nature of fire, Tapering like a cone whose base

Contains the heavier bodies, Bu t towards the apex Ar e raised the lighter substances . The Regimen Sanitatis Salem i was the most popular and longest lived of all the Lehrgedichte. Its author is unknown . It is a compilation from previous works of similar kind . It was first printed in Venice with an expo s ition by Master Arnaldus of Villa Nova in 1480. Sudhoff thinks that the poem is a rather late work , dating from z the thirteenth century . De Ren i enumerates one hun 1842 dred and nineteen editions , the last in , and Ackerman says there are twelve codices . It must have early made a [ xiii great impression becaus e within ten years after its first printing there appeared fourteen editions mostly in dif w t ferent parts of Italy , and ne editions appeared almos al yearly until well into the 16th century . It has almost ways been published with the comments of the learned ad Arnaldus . It was written in leonine verse and is dressed to the King of England for whose use it is sup posed to have been compiled . The opening lines are as follows : m The Salerne Schoole doth by these lines i part, ll ’ A health to England s King, and doth advise m m kee e . Fro care his head to p , fro wrath his heart D m rinke not uch wine, sup light, and soon arise When meat is gone ; long sitting b reedeth sm art

Sir John Harrington , godson of Queen Eliz abeth , trans lated the poem into English under the title The English man ’s Doctor ( London 1609 In an introductory A d lib rum , the translator says of his book :

T here are no drugs here fetcht from Mexico, m Nor gold fro India, nor that stinking s m oake, W hich English gallants buy, them selves to choake ; S Tu rkie B Nor ilkes of , nor of arbary, T hose luscious Canes, where our rich Sugars lie m Nor those hot drinks that ake our wits to dance, Th e : wild Canaries nor those Grapes of France , W m hich ake us clip our English , nor those wares l i Of fertile Be g a , whose wombe compares

CONCE RNING THE PROCRE ATION OF MAN

I sing of how came first to m an the seeds of life, Of how the vital force and spirit Gave birth to wondrous things Working in the child in the womb of the mother

And bringing forth the image to the divine shores of life . Of what amaz ing ills afflict m an ; b m s What brings the sick , long shackled y innu erable chain At last under the dreadful dominions of Orcus From which place even the sonorous lyre of Orpheus

Cannot recall warlike hearts, But only the unique virtue and m arvellous resources

of the physician . h These things I sing, since in the ope of praise Apollo has struck my young chest With his sharp thyrsus ; Nor does my heart fail to know that my task

is full of labor .

There lived another sixteenth century poet and physi eian whose name and work have come down to us, Cas tor Durante , a physician , a poet and a botanist who was born in Italy in the early part of the 16th century , and died about 1590. He practiced in Rome and was the

Physician to Pope Sextus V . He was so good a botan ist that his name , Castor, was given to the plant now a t ri m known as the c s o u of the pharmaCOpea . He is said to have cultivated equally well Latin poetry and med

1c1ne . He wrote a Latin poem concerning the care of the health and this was translated into Italian under the title , ”

] Tes aro . I della Sanita It was published in 1588 . The work is dedicated to the Pope , Sextus V . Durante gives in hexameters maxims concerning health , diet , climate , baths and the medicinal value of herbs . The lines are followed by comment and explana

. dv tion Durante was early among temperance a ocates . [ xvi ] First Edition of the Works of Fracastorius 1555 Venice,

If anyone should gi e m e such water farewell the wine cup for the v , , best water beats wine . He a dds : Immodici e t sensus perturba t copia Bacchi Inde quis enu m eret quot m eta proveniant ?

A century later a German physician , Dr . Johann Joa

1635- 1682 v chim Becher wrote a ery large work , adorn w l l ed ith many i lustrations , and ca led Parnassus Medi i r D . Be h c nalis . c er S eies . was born in p , Germany , and was educated under very adverse conditions . He early began w l to rite on chemical subjects and on meta lurgy . In 1663 he published his Medical Parnassus a treatise in verse on the medicinal properties of the animal , vegetable and mineral kingdoms , written in German in the style of the anita i Regimen S t s Salerni . In 1666 he was made Pro z fes s or of Medicine at Ment and physician to the court . Becher wrote later on physics and was the founder of the phlogiston theory later elaborated by Stahl . He was evidently a man of great talents as a practitioner, a chem ist , and a man of affairs . His Parnassus furnishes the first systematic exploita im tion of opotherapy . Man , he says, the agreeable

- s ubs tan age of his maker, is furnished with twenty four ces useful in Medicine . These are the bone , marrow, ”

l d . flesh , brain , semen , liver, b oo , urine , etc He then gives in verse the indications for the thera

- n peutie use of each of these twenty four good thi gs . e ro Be cher starts with human tissues, which s emed to p vide a larger number of medicines than those of lower

- animals, for while man has twenty four, the dog has only ten . About this same period there appeared in Germany a xvii w b x real poet , Dr . Paul Fleming, ho was orn in Sa ony in 1 d 609. He studie medicine at Leipsic , but owing to the ’

Thirty Years War he had to leave his work . He went to

Moscow and subsequently to the East and Persia . He d came back after about six years , graduated in me icine and wrote an essay on lues . He started to practice medi cine , but his death occurred in 1640 at the age of thirty one . He was a lyric poet and wrote in a somewhat academic style , but he had had an unusual experience in the world , and re and he showed fire sincerity in his poetry . He “ ceived the Imperial Crown of Poetry and he is called the one genuinely inspired lyric poet of the period of the ’ ” ’ Thirty Years War . His verses are found in Warner s ’

Library of the World s Best Literature . The following is an example : To MYSELF m s a d Let nothing ake thee or fretful , Or too regretful ; Be still ; What God hath ordered must be right T hen find in it thine own delight,

My will .

Why shouldst thou fill to -day with sorrow

A - bout to morrow, My heart ? One watches all with care m ost true ; Doubt not that he will give thee too Th y part .

Only be steadfast ; never waver , ’ Nor seek earth s favor, B ut rest Thou knowest what God wills m ust be or all his creatures so for thee F , , The best . same’ century England produced two writers of

. . poetry Dr Thomas Campion ( d . 1619 ) wrote xviii songs which are among the classics of the English lan guage ; and Dr . Henry Vaughan ( 1621 known also ” as The Silurist , wrote p oems which are found in all

the English Anthologies . In fact , no English physicians subsequently arrived at quite the distinction of verse

writing that these two men achieved . 16th 1 In the , 7th and 18th centuries there was much p oetry written by medical m en in eulogy of their con freres . This was offered on the occasion of jubilees or l l appointment to some professiona chair , or on pub ishing a book or in commemoration of a death . The poem was ll fl ins ri genera y in Latin and was picturesque , orid , c p n tive and conventio al , but it had value at least in that it S howed mutual amities and Often revealed some of the personal qualities of the professors and authors of the time . When we come to the later periods of the 18th and 19th l centuries , a survey of the poetry of medica men covers a field too broad to be dealt with here . Quite a large volume has been compiled by a French rna M di i author and is called Le Pa s s e e c na l. It contains biographies and quotations from a very large number of French doctors who have contributed to the Muse .

I cannot find in this work any really good poetry, nor can I learn that any of the great French poets or even moderately great poets were physicians . l Al In Germany , the great physio ogist and physician , bert von Haller ( 1708 - 1777 was almost equally great as a lyric poet and man of science . In England in the 18th century we find the poetic works ll Akens ide l of Tobias Smo ett , Armstrong , Aiken , , Go d m m m m s ith , Garth and quite a nu ber of inor poets , so e of whom wrote things which reached the anthologies . In this period the views of the inspiration of the poet and mnemonic value of verse became a little changed , [ xix ] but the doctors still went on rhyming . Then their lines became smoother and more really poetic , and their work was no longer devoted only to diet , herbs , hygiene and technical descriptions of medicine and physiology . ”

Dr . Erasmus Darwin in his Botanic Garden , Arm “ ” strong in The Art of Preserving Health , and Down “ ” man on Infancy were perhaps the last great didactic ‘ singers of purely medical things . The medical poets of the 19th century furnished better poetry and were often more genuinely medical men than in any previous age . The list includes Thomas Lovell dd b Be oes , David Moir ( Delta ) , John Leyden , Ro ert

Bridges , Poet Laureate of England , Conan Doyle , Hake ,

Oliver Wendell Holmes , Weir Mitchell and William

Henry Drummond , the poet of the habitant of Canada . I w ould not omit the American , Cheever, the contemporary

of Poe and a poet who almost ought not to be forgotten . The practical minded will ask how much of this liter w ary output as worth while . How many real poets and how much veritable poetry do we find ? On the whole it will have to be admitted that the im mortals are not numerous . Some verse lasts, however, u beca se of its personal and topical qualities . Some be cause it has historical value illustrating the situation of

medicine or sanitation at a certain era . The Regimen Sanitatis Salerni will always be valuable

* It is interesting to note how m any doctors of great and genuine achievem ent have occasionally expressed them selves in m eritorious m verse . I ention only a few exam ples V esalius wrote a sonnet which had genuine feeling .

Meynert wrote better poetry than prose . B m Claude ernard was a tragic poet before he beca e a physiologist . ’ Sir T hom as Browne s Evening Hym n is in the collections of classic

English poetry . Edward Jenner wrote ballads and songs and his Excuse is found m in ost collections .

’ Poesie Reviv d on these grounds . The epic of Fracastorius on Syphilis is a poem of some merit ; it will remain in literature be it d v v cause is a part of me ical history , ha ing gi en a name and emphasis to an extraordinary and serious malady . K n l The epic of y a och on the Procreation , Anatomy and Diseases of Man is an acute illustration of the literary extravagance and methods of the learned men of his time 17th ( century ) . But it gives also a dramatic and comden ’ sed presentation of this century s anatomy and pathology . Garth ’s poem on the Dispensary portrays an interest

ing episode in medical and pharmaceutical history . Medical men have done permanently good work in

translating the classic poets . Sewall did Anacreon , Garth ’

many of Ovid s Metamorphoses and Dr . John Nott made l l ’ exce lent verse of Propertius . Virgi s Aeneid was first a r done into English about 1525 by Dr . Thomas Ph e , and

Tw ne . finished later by Dr . Thomas y . Dr Thornton trans l l e ated the Georgics , and had them i lustrat d in part by ll l Wi iam B ake . Horace has been translated by the late

r n x . Dr . John O dro au of New York , and by Dr Andrew ’

uvenal s . Wood of Edinburgh , and J Satires by Dr Charles l l Badham . This covers on y the activity of Eng ish writ

ing physicians . Greek literature gives us only one genuine medical l poet , Nicias, a though his friend , Theocritus, is said to h ave studied medicine also .

Latin literature is barren except for Macer .

ll . Dr . von Ha er was one of the finer lyric poets, and Dr

Fleming was the great lyrist of his period .

We have already spoken of Henry Vaughn , The Si

- l uris t ( 1622 1695 and Thomas Campion . Blackmore was esteemed by Johnson and his poems

are still selling for a guinea per volume . Akens ide in his Pleasures of the Imagination has lines which are brilliant and spirit-stirring and colored [ xxi ] w m b ith the Attic graces . His poe to Science is his est minor work . Armstrong is included in the classics and some of his poems may be still read with pleasure . Wolcott ( Peter Pindar ) was famous or infamous in d his day as a writer of satire . His verse isturbed the minor currents of local English history . Medicine claims as among its rather laggard followers b w ut genuine poets , Abraham Co ley , who is little read d but much collected , and who hel a medical degree ; w S George Crabbe , who as a medical man for a hort time l only , later becoming a clergyman ; Go dsmith , who tried D K to practice and was qualified as an M . . , and eats , who was about as much of a doctor as Crabbe or Cowley . It is perhaps not fair to include in our list men who l like the above were only incidenta ly doctors , or who had only some brief experience with the apothecary and medicine . However , it has been the custom to gather these in ; especially as thereby we add much to our gold en treasury . 19 l In the th century , we have or have had , O iver Wen l dell Holmes , Weir Mitchell , Robert Bridges , and Wi liam

Henry Drummond , and Thomas Dunn English , who w l rote stirring battle yrics and the immortal Ben Bolt . There are many others who have written well though not nearly so many as those who have written badly . But for good or ill the Sacred Fire continues to burn in E idaurian the p Temple of Apollo . ’ I pres ume that a reason for the doctor s frequent di gres s ion into the high fields of song is because genuinely successful physicians must have some feeling and im agination ; such men see and recogniz e and are res pon sive to the emotional and human side of life . They sym pathiz e with trouble and are touched by the conflicts w d of those ith whom they have to eal . Their original [ xxii ] r training was to form them into S cientific , logical , obs e vant and practical men ; their experience leads them into fields where more is needed than the laboratory and where they must ever be touched with emotion , or else

they are j ust business men and laboratory workers .

Meeting life in this way , if the doctor happens to have some power of expression and especial gift of imagin l ation , or even a rhythmica sense , he begins to chant his lays . l Poetry , I hope , sti l continues to stimulate and please d l ll the min and to e evate and thri the heart . At any rate that is what it ought to do, and more , for poetry is that form of art which gives the highest and the most en during and satisfactory esthetic impressions to those who l have wise , cu tivated and sensitive minds . There is no form of art that can give such joy as can be gained by the recital or perusal of the best things of the best poets . So it is to be hoped that if doctors ever have the divine

fire in them they will not prevent its expression , always remembering that only the very best poetry is poetry , and that mediocrity is more a sin in poetry than in any other art . As Horace says In som e professions m ediocrity and tolerable endowments m ay pro perly be allowed but neither gods or m en give any indulgence to m m iddling poets ; for poetry designed by nature for improving our inds,
