Physician and patient

by Worthington Hooker

FOOTNOTES:

[47] These letters were written by Dr. Burder, an English physician, in answer to the inquiry made of him by Dr. Hope, “Can your opportunities and experience furnish me with some hints how to offer ‘a word in season’ to those who are seriously ill?” They were published first in a periodical of extensive circulation, and afterwards in the Appendix to the Memoir of Dr. Hope.
