10 FIFTY-SEVENTII ANNUAL SESSION character and standard of its membership that no State Medical Association in the Union stands higher than your own. (Applause.) It is natural, then, Mr. President, that our people take a pride in the North Carolina Medical Society. I believe it was Sir Astley Cooper, a member of your great profession, who said that his profession was a science founded on conjecture and improved by murder. I have always thought Sir x\stley was too blunt in this descriptive definition. It is true that to probe for the occult and to diagnose for the unseen is conjectural, yet it does not take away from your profession the elements of science which call forth the highest display of human foresight and reason. For in this age so great is the complexity of life, that it brings, it is said, in its train a "constantly growing complexity of diseases," and to obtain a complete mastery over these —to prevent, yea, to cure—is, I conceive, the great work and. mission of the modern physician. But to be a true physician Dr. Oliver Wendell Ilolmes has truly said that he must be one who is subservient to duty. Duty first to your patient then next to yourself. To be otherwise, to owe your first duty to yourself and then to your patient, you would be a quack. And therein lies the essential difference between the two. Now, Mr. President, I am digressing. You are engaged indeed in a great work. May your efforts to further the high CD *J «/ f aims of your profession be eminently successful in all your deliberations here. May temperance, purity and zeal still continue to be the watchwords of your Society. The people of Wilmington with one accord wish you God speed in your work and extend to you a warm welcome to their hearts and their homes. We hope your sojourn will be attended with good health and great happiness, and your session be a memorable one in your annals. Again, Wrights-ville Beach and Wilmington heartily welcome you. (Applause.)
