An introductory discourse, to a course of lectures on the theory and practice of physic. Containing observations on the inductive system of prosecuting medical inquiries. And a tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Benjamin Rush. Delivered at the College of physicians and surgeons, on the third of November, 1813. This book, "An introductory discourse, to a course of lectures on the theory and practice of physic", by David Hosack, is a replication of a book originally published before 1813. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
