GEORGIA MEDICAL REPORTER.
BY JOHN G. SLAI’PY, M. D.
j ‘ ll’hal we should seek in the Sciences is truth, and truth,
j is in lhe facts.” —Broussais.
j 35 T is now more than six years since 1 first con-
I ceived the idea of publishing periodically the
above work, for the lollowing reasons, which arc ob-
I \ ions and striking: There being no publication of the
i kind in the State; aud, lor ought 1 know, throughout
tiie whole Southern States; we are compelled, con
sequently, to look to the North, and through her to
1 1 Europe, for every thing new, rare, and interesting in
I the science. It would seem peculiary appropriat<
just at the present time, when the most awful visita
! tion is hovering over the land —the Asiatic Cholera.
. It has already swept across a great extent cf North
America; from Montreal and Quebec to New 0.-
leans; visiting almost every city and town of any irn
. portance in the Northern Middle and Western States
There is left no reasonable ground to justify the con
clusion, that our highly favoured section of country
can much longer escape the impending evil. Besides
have we no disease or modification of disease, inci
. dent and peculiar to our climate, and remedies nativi
[■ of our country ?
Medicine had its origin, in necessity : in motives oi
. benevolence and philanthropy—in a disposition tn
1 mitigate the evils—to ameliorate lhe condition ofsuf
f sering human nature to bailie fell disease— the greatest
j curse inflicted on fallen man—and bestow on linn
Health, the chiefest blessing, saving the atoning blood
, of our Saviour. Our much lamented Rush said, “while
j, the world, from the progress of intellectual, moral,
j i and political truth, is becoming a more safe and agree
i able abode for man, the votaries of Medicine should
not be idle.” The American Linnteus, the late ven
erable Benj. S. Barton said, “he who discovers one
valuable new Medicine, is a more important benefac
tor offiis species than Alexander, Cesar, Bonaparte,
or an hundred other conquerors. Even his glory.
t in the estimation ot a truly’ civilized age, A’ill be great
i er and more lasting, than that of these admired ruvag
- ers of tiie world.”
3 What is the condition of our department of science
1 in Georgia '! Indeed and in truth, our Medical lore is
. lurking far behind (comparatively speaking) the active
improvements cf the day—the spirit oi the times ad-
2 monishing us to look forward, with’an unrivited gaze,
a upon the advance of man and the “march of mind.”
f There is medical talent in Georgia, and yet she is al
. most without professional character; because she has
I not enterprise, industry and energy. There is inani
a lestly but little written on medicine in our State; med-
J ical reading too, is not pursued with avidity, h ssstud
. ied, properly undeistood and regarded.
Y Let us turn our attention to tiie constant and inde
fatigable. efforts of many American teachers ; but es
pecially to the late works of our own countryman,
professor Jackson of Philadelphia. He inculcates
. principles upon the unerring guide of genuine and in
ductive philosophy . lie declaims against authority;
, and boldly asserts the non-existence of a specific gas
tric juice, and advocates other certainties, as impor
tant t® physiology and truth.
’ The recent splendid discoveries of Abercrombie of
l " Scotland, of Abernethy, Lawrence, Clutterbuck,
Teale, &c. Ac. oi England, are their everlasting mon
f uments. Germany is likewise moving on But above
1 ail, stand the sons of France, and of true medical phi
l: losophy, Audral Broussais, Baron Larry, Pinel Laen
nee and others; these moderns of the moderns, have
wholly uprooted the old and ancient systems of rou
' tine medicine :—they have sought, however, not so
| much to overthrow former systems founded in error,
as they have to discover truth, and the real etiology of
disease. They have not only succeeded in removing
tiie rubbish, but in establishing medicine on a surer
' and firmer foundation, and giving to it the line ot
’ ( maich onwardto perfection.
. ; It would be uncandid, and it is not to be denied or
> concealed, that the doctrines of the French school,
s and particularly those oi the deservedly renowned
> and immortal reformer Broussais, will be held and
' maintained in this Gazette. We regard them (and
j they are universally admitted) as containing the purest
j- and most substantial ot the great fundamental truths
[ of physiological medicine. They are founded in data:
the dissecting knife has been made to reveal and de
’ velope from pathological anatomy, principles ol a
t fixed character.
, They will be as enduring as time, and as solid as
, adamant. Principles involved in cause and effect,
j that were heretofore considered mysteries inexplica
ble, are now known and established facts. Ju the
. I mind of Broussais, positive philosophy has sought and
! found confessedly a regenerating and redeeming
[ spirit.
We corns not without diffidence, presenting our
humble offering, feeble and retired as it is to contrib
. ute our mite at the aitar oi professional science :if w®
can but give a zest to the young mind, an inclination
, and direction to medical inquiry, it is ail we hope and
expect; it is the “ne plus ultra” of our wishes
Some of the best talent of the State is engaged to
assist and to contribute in the work, and we confi
dently expect to be able to concentrate and combine
such a fund of foreign and domestic intelligence in
■ our journal, as to make it acceptable, it not agreeable

discomfiture come when it will. I resolve to stepfor

necessarily imposes. I trust however, with a due sense
ot modesty, yea with “fear and trembling,” and yet
with the spirit of a man—respectingall men’s opinions

. rights and privileges that I claim and reserve to my
