The Medical Side of Benjamin Franklin. E-book. Formato PDF William Pepper   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Medical Side of Benjamin Franklin, before the Baltimore City Medical Society. This address was published in the University of Pennsylvania Medical Bulletin, and finally I have now republished it, with some slight changes, in its present form. A comprehensive index has been included in order to offset the rather disconnected narrative which is arranged chronologically and not under subjects.

We are met here, in this famous old city, to cele brate such an incident, of striking historic interest not only on account of its date, but of the princi ples it illustrated, and of the men whose names are inseparably connected with it.
