VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. 
  At a meeting of the Medical Class of the University of Pennsylvania, held
March 12, 1853, R. H. Whitfield, of Ala., was called to the chair, and J. N. M.
Lynch, of Tenn., appointed Secretary.
  On motion, it was resolved that the Valedictory Address to be delivered by
Prof. Carson, at the Commencement, be published by the Class, and that  a
Committee of three be appointed to request a copy for that purpose.
  In accordance with this  resolution, the Chairman  appointed Mossrs. Wil-
liams, of Ala., Hughes, of Pa., and Foster, of Ga., as the Committee.
                                         Philadelphia, March 13, 1853.
Prof. Carson :
    Sir—At a meeting of the Medical Class of the University, the undersigned
were appointed a Committee to solicit a copy of your Valedictory Address for
publication.
  Permit us, therefore, to express  our own wish, in  connection with that of
the Class, that you will comply with this request.
              With respect, your ob't serv'ts,
                                         JOS. M.  WILLIAMS, Ala.,
                                         ISAAC W. HUGHES, Pa.,
                                         ROBT. C. FOSTER, Ga.
                                                       March 14, 1853.
Gentlemen:
  I cheerfully comply with the request of the Class, presented through you, to
place at its disposal for publication the Valedictory Address to be delivered at
the approaching Commencement, and beg  leave to assure you of my deep in-
terest in your welfare as friends from whom, collectively, I shall soon part, yet
for whom, individually, I shall ever entertain regard and affection.
                            Very sincerely, your ob't serv't,
                                                         J. CARSON.
  To Messrs. Williams, Hughes, and Foster, Committee. 
VALEDICTORY  ADDRESS.
Gentlemen :—
  The ceremonies with which, we are now occupied are
calculated to awaken emotions opposite and conflicting in
the bosoms of those personally interested.
  Gratification  must proceed from the successful result of
labors which have occupied an extended and arduous period
of effort; while  the reflection cannot be otherwise than pain-
ful that, with their conclusion, is connected the severance of
associations which have been close and pleasurable.
  We separate  as friends separate, with kindly regard and
lasting interest; but, in the relations which have existed
among us, never to meet again.  Time, in its onward course,
will substitute  new connections and  new duties; but  so
long as our hearts beat, and recollection lasts, the ties which
bound together fellow-students, or teachers and their pupils,
cannot be forgotten.
  With this event, you, gentlemen, have  reached the goal
of your hopes  and expectations.   By it you receive the
honors you have earned  by patient  toil  and self-denying
industry.  As the representative  of my colleagues of the
Faculty, in the  name of the Trustees  of the University, I
tender you heartfelt congratulation, and welcome you to the 
12
ranks of the Medical Profession.   But, while sympathizing
with you in the feelings of exultation appropriate to the oc-
casion, a source of sadness  is presented.  Within the last
revolving  year death has heavily laid his hand upon our
body.  At the opening of the session, a tribute was paid to
the memory of a beloved professor; and now, at its termina-
tion, the departure of another has opened anew the fountains
of our sorrow.   His vacant place reveals the fact that he has
been removed from scenes in which, during so long a period,
he was  most prominent.  For your welfare he was deeply
anxious; and  if the  spirits  of the  departed be permitted
again to mingle in those concerns of life which gave them
greatest pleasure, his spirit this day assuredly is with us.
  In the execution of the duty which has been delegated
to me, of offering the last counsel which as a Class you will
receive, I may be permitted  to lay aside the technicalities
to which you have been  accustomed, and address you upon
topics which pertain to your  new position, and of which, in
after professional life, you will see the importance.  Doubt-
less some impressions have already been made  upon your
minds, of the obligations which are imposed on those who
aspire to success, and consequently to rank and usefulness,
in their profession; but from the engrossing occupation of
acquiring  scientific truth, and within the  academic limits
which have circumscribed your vision, little time or oppor-
tunity  has been  afforded of seriously and fully weighing
them.   With the  reflection  which  experience will elicit,
these obligations will to their extent unfold themselves, yet
in anticipation some of them may fitly be discussed on this 
13
occasion;  and  feeble as may be the effort to set them in
their proper light before you, it will, I hope, be regarded as
a manifestation of deep interest in your future welfare.
  Wisdom would dictate deliberate consideration of all the
circumstances which may control  or  influence the  result
when entering  upon any enterprise involving  much respon-
sibility, and entailing with success or  failure either pros-
perity and happiness, or difficulty and distress.  To accom-
plish anything that is worth  attempting requires a settled
plan of action ; and this must necessarily be predicated upon
the circumstances alluded to.   Fitful and irregular exertion
originates for the most part in neglect of proper premedita-
tion and want of due appreciation  of the means by  which
ends can be attained.  In professional pursuits, these  truths
have  been so  manifestly established,  that they  may  be
received as  axioms;  and  medicine  especially is  brought
within the scope of them.
  You, gentlemen, are now at the starting-place of a  career
which may be eminently prosperous.  The issue will depend
upon the mode in which you will demean yourselves.  But
with  bright anticipations of success  before you, it cannot
be disguised that error, either of principle or conduct, will
prove  disastrous; and from this solely by the favor of a
kind Providence can you be preserved.
  With the design of presenting a succinct exposition of such
duties and obligations as the  time allotted to this address
will permit,  I shall in  the first instance direct  attention
to those affecting the profession itself that you have chosen.
  No one who enters a liberal profession can regard him-
self as isolated.  When he enrols himself among the num- 
14
ber of those who pursue and cultivate it, he is bound  by
every high and honorable  sentiment to act in concert with
them for its dignity and its  advancement.   As the charge
which is committed to them involves the welfare of man-
kind, he must recognize and  submit to the compact which
unites all in a common brotherhood  to sustain it success-
fully.   Separation from sympathy or effort with co-laborers
is incompatible not  only with  progress, but with respecta-
bility; and he who for selfish purposes pursues this course,
may justly be suspected of pretension or charlatanism.
  The profession of medicine, originating in the necessities
of the  human race, has in  the course of centuries been
organized and made amenable to regulations, which have
been  instrumental  in  carrying  out its  benevolent inten-
tions, and in facilitating the attainment of objects that are
desirable, viz., the harmonious co-operation of those who are
engaged in its practice, and the increase of that knowledge
which is essential to its utility.
  A necessity of cherishing  amicable relations  with com-
peers is obvious from the comfort and satisfaction which are
afforded in the performance of our duties. We are prompted
to it by generous and  noble  impulses, as well as by a deep
perception  of  wants  and  frailties which  are  common  to
humanity.   Difficulties and  trials, doubts  and uncertainty
must at one period or another  attend the  course of every
one, and friendly counsel  and  assistance  are requisite  to
remove or to dispel  them.   But in proportion to the culti-
vation of such relations, and the frank reliance upon each
other which is exhibited, does our profession derive positive
advantage;  for if practised in the spirit of reciprocity, and 
15
not of jealousy and rivalry, it must be esteemed and pros-
perous.   There is no  profession perhaps which affords so
striking an evidence of the value of unity among its mem-
bers, nor one in which it is  so much needed.  The com-
munity in which we dwell are close observers both of actions
and of motives, and, where bitterness and feelings of ani-
mosity prevail, lose confidence not only in those who mani-
fest them, but  in the  art itself which they profess.   The
history  of medicine affords examples where  hostility  be-
tween rival  candidates for reputation has distracted  public
sentiment, and reproach has been cast upon the profession
instead of upon the characters of such misguided members.
The object of medicine is truth with calm and philosophic
temper  to be  sought for, and applied to suffering fellow-
creatures;  and he who  with  an  even tenor pursues  his
course will live above aspersion, and diffuse the blessings of
his calling to those around him.  In this connection, may
be urged the importance of studying closely and adhering
rigidly to the Code of Ethics which is now authoritative in
our country; to it professionally are you  amenable.
   Irrespective of  the benefits conferred both on its members
and the profession, by mutual aid and associate action, means
are thereby afforded which, if properly employed, will con-
duce to public utility.   Into the hands of medical men are
committed, by common assent, interests of vast importance
to society.   They involve not only the health and life of in-
dividuals when jeopardized, but the well-being of the whole
community.  Sound views and correct opinions, which only
can be formed from faithful, enlightened devotion to inquiry,
are essential for the protection of these interests; and when 
1G
entertained by a body of men honest in their purposes, and
upright in their principles and conduct, are  all-powerful in
instilling  reliance and  dependence.  In the presence of a
phalanx of educated and sensible practitioners of medicine,
the  cunning  practices and  presumptuous declarations of
charlatans and impostors, however captivating and partially
successful in gaining dupes, must have but ephemeral noto-
riety.  Whether quackery is marshalled under the attractive
banner of a system, or, guerilla-like, attacks and plunders
on individual account, our science and our art, supported and
cherished  by true and zealous cultivators, will ever interpose
a powerful buckler of protection.
  Another effect which may be best secured by combined
professional effort is the bestowal of that attention upon the
indigent and the diseased which pertains to the province of
the medical man.  Amid life's cares, and toils, and conflicts,
this privilege is a redeeming one.   By none  in the  commu-
nity can the "luxury of doing good" be more enjoyed than
by members of our profession.   It requires not wealth,  nor
position, nor personal  influence.  In the  possession of  the
humblest  and most struggling among us is the healing gift,
which to thousands is priceless, and which, by a simple ex-
ercise of it, restores health and happiness to many a  sufferer.
            " It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes."

  Without our services, the zeal and exertions of the truly
philanthropic benefactors of mankind would  be curtailed of
half their efficiency.   In affording  suggestive aid to enter-
prises of benevolence, as well as in active deeds of  charity,
physicians have ever been conspicuous.  By them the public 
17
has been guided into the channels of successful amelioration
of human woe and  misery.   The history of hospitals, dis-
pensaries, and other institutions for charitable ends, every-
where will tell the tale of medical devotion.  In  union for
such  purposes, lies the greatest power for good  possessed
among us.
   But, while contributing to the position and respectability,
as well as efficiency of our profession, by zealous co-operation
and mutual support, it is obligatory upon each individual to
cultivate it  sedulously, and, so far as opportunity or capa-
bility is possessed, to extend its resources and advance its
improvement.
   Medicine, like every department of knowledge,  has  been
progressive.  Without derogation  it may be admitted that,
into the  depths of the organic constitution, the light of in-
telligence has penetrated only ray by ray, and centuries have
passed in diffusing such illumination as now guides us in
exploring its intricate recesses;  it may also be stated that
resources against  disease have  been slowly unfolded; yet
the advance of our science has equalled that of others, and
no invidious  contrast can be drawn between the progress it
has made, and of those which have contributed to the phy-
sical,  intellectual, and moral refinement of mankind. It has
always been on a level with, if not at times above, the age
which actually existed.  If Greece, in her day of political
and intellectual supremacy, boasted of her sculptors, poets,
philosophers, and  lawgivers, she could  with equal exulta-
tion point  to her physician.  Of all the  classical writers
who have illustrated the state of mental cultivation, and
indicated the condition of the arts at the proudest period
       2 
18
of Roman greatness, none have surpassed in elegance of
diction, and not one has been more useful than, the learned
and ingenious Celsus.
  While historians  have commemorated the wisdom and
discernment of him who patronized every liberal pursuit—
the most enlightened of the Caliphs—and the genius of our
countryman has thrown a magic spell around all that per-
tained to the last  display of Saracenic power and luxury
in Europe, it must not be forgotten that a monument has
been erected to medical science by Rhazes and Avicenna,
who themselves were ornaments and benefactors, not only
of their profession, but of their nation.
  Upon, the revival of letters, when the

               " Double night of ages, and of her,
                Night's daughter, Ignorance/'

commenced to be dispelled in Europe, medicine was among
the first of the liberal sciences which issued from the cloister.
Interwoven as  it was with the knowledge soon most culti-
vated, and which depended upon exploration of the physical
world, its position could not  be other than conspicuous,
while, with  advancing civilization, all branches of human
learning became its tributaries.
  It may be remarked that, with the stimulus to the culti-
vation of medical science from  the inherent utility belong-
ing to it, there is joined a fascination which has proved all-
powerful with  those who have  most contributed  to its
perfection and certainty.  In connection with observation
and experiment, it has even been attractive to those whose
pursuits were entirely  foreign to its application.   It  filled 
19
 the thoughts and occupied  the leisure  moments of Bacon.
 The declaration of that great philosopher was that " Truth
 is not barren,"  and slowly but surely has  it evolved itself
 with respect to medicine.  The harvest of discoveries and
 facts has thus far been an ample  recompense of all the toil
 and talent expended in its culture.
   From a retrospection of the past, assurance is given of a
 fruitful future;  the same ingenuity, perseverance, and en-
 thusiasm which have been in exercise  will continue  to be
 productive, and we may legitimately infer that, if physio-
 logical exploration did not terminate with  the discovery of
 the circulation, nor improvement in practical medicine with
 the introduction of cinchona or of auscultation, an increase
 of  information will be exhibited  in coming years, quite as
 notable as that presented when referring to the more pro-
 minent epochs of progression.
   It may be asked, has the present generation fulfilled its
 part in the work of research and discovery ? It has assuredly.
 The account hereafter to be written of medical progress
 will exhibit a spirit as earnest as ever has been brought in
 requisition for such  service.  To be convinced that  this
 statement is correct,  let  reference be made to  any  syste-
 matic  treatise which  may  be a  correct exponent of the
 sources of information pertaining to the different branches
 of medical science, and it will be  found that far the larger
 proportion of authorities cited are recent.   The code of
 Boerhaave or the  statutes  of Cullen will  remain as  evi-
 dences of their  genius and learning; but within the  last
half century another  school has risen up—a school of
stricter observation and inquiry. Were Haller now to come 
20
among us, he would be forced to  reconsider the principles
of the department of which he may be said to have been
the founder.
  Among the agencies which have conduced to more pre-
cise information may be cited a  closer correlation of the
departments.  Chemistry, which at one time was regarded
as of little moment by the student, (except so far as its lead-
ing reactions bore upon prescriptions,) has,  by the latest
expounders of its truths, been directed into the very chan-
nel of his wants, and it has been made apparent that, with-
out it, he can neither understand the processes of the eco-
nomy nor detect some of their most interesting aberrations.
By chemistry, and the physical means of investigation now
resorted to, pathology may be said to have  been endowed
with animation.  Its communications are not derived from
sole examination of  defunct organs, but are given at the
commencement and during the continuance of maladies,
which may by  such guidance be  brought to a favorable
issue.  Would Morgagni or Baillie recognize modern patho-
logy?  The term  morbid anatomy is obsolete, and patho-
logy has  been transformed  into natural history of disease.
  While upon this topic, the observations which have been
made might be extended,  and illustrations given  of the
accessions to physiology through associate branches; and
still further, as  of higher consequence, how practical medi-
cine has been benefited by discoveries in each one of them.
But my object has been accomplished if it has been demon-
strated that physicians of the present age are working men,
and that their labors have not been vain or profitless.
  On whom, then, rests the obligation to continue research 
21
and extend discovery ?   The  newly risen generation, who,
in the vigor of their manhood, with talents and educational
training fitted for  the  task, are  now within the temple of
our science.
   It must be admitted that no small amount of learning is
required  to form an  accomplished and  skilful  physician;
and, to obtain it, requires much industry and perseverance.
At the  present  day, the  medical man has  no excuse for
ignorance but indolence; the means of  self-improvement
are placed  abundantly within his  reach.  In every depart-
ment, the  press has poured  forth  volume  upon volume,
presenting  the  latest summary of information, while  the
periodicals  of the country are spreading broadcast the last
additions to our  science.   To  keep pace with the advances
of the times, reading is  indispensable.   Such  cultivation
every man owes to  his profession.
   Still he  may  do more;  he may  especially devote himself
to a particular department in accordance with his tastes or
inclination, and  not only thoroughly understand it, in all its
relations and dependencies, but contribute  something to its
extension.   It is a mistake to suppose that opportunities are
sparingly afforded for enlarging the  domain of any branch
of science, and then only fall within the grasp of those most
fortunate.   The thorough knowledge of a subject leads to
an appreciation of its  deficiencies and  requirements, and
opportunity is  solely the adaptation  of materials  which
observation or experiment may supply.  Were each subject
pertaining  to medicine exhausted, it  might be said  that
opportunities are not presented.
   It may  be supposed that the cultivation   of medical 
22
science, and improvement in its  various branches, are con-
fined  to a metropolis, where  centres  all that  stimulates
exertion or fosters merit.  The nature of our vocation, and
the field of its operation, admit not such restriction.  The
whole world is the arena for the display of capabilities.  In
the crowded city, or in sparsely inhabited  localities, objects
of inquiry are accessible.  Within the district of his birth,
or in foreign and even barbarous  countries, the physician
may find  facilities of gratifying his aspiration  for know-
ledge and of gaining  reputation.   Acquirements  may be
made  available in  any position  or under  any circum-
stances.
   In  the  year 1735, two  young  men were zealously en-
gaged  in  the  prosecution of  their studies  at the world-
renowned University of Edinburgh.  They drank deeply
of the medical lore which was poured forth  by the  elder
Munro, by Rutherford, and Alston, and  augmented  their
acquirements  and increased  their acumen  in  the  well-
known  medical society connected with their Alma Mater.
The time of separation  came.  One  of  them, for further
improvement, repaired to the metropolis of England, where
he was induced  to  settle.  With talents of the highest
order, by industry and perseverance his knowledge became
thorough  and most  varied.   He  rose  to fame, acquired
unusual means, was  courted  by the  great  and the intel-
lectual of his own and other countries, was the friend and
patron  of the indigent and friendless, and  died at an ad-
vanced age, lamented  by society, and  leaving a  name
revered by every member of his profession.   The fortunes
of the other, controlled by an  overruling power, were cast 
23
in a foreign land, and among a barbarous people.  Aleppo,
in Syria, became his residence, and  the scene of his pro-
fessional exertions.   His career may be told in the language
of his biographer.  He was applied to by the inhabitants
of all ranks and professions—Franks, Greeks, Armenians,
Maronites,  and even by the Turks themselves—who, for-
getting that he was  an  unbeliever, courted  his  friendship,
and placed  unlimited confidence in his opinion.   The fac-
tory to which he was attached thought  themselves happy
in such a physician  and such a countryman.  The pasha
consulted him and called him Ms friend.  This individual
became  the  historian  of  that interesting  province; and
further, by his medical contributions, enriched the scientific
literature of his native country.  The first was  Fothergill,
whose  name recalls all that  is noble and  lovely in the
character of a medical man.   The other was the no less
illustrious  Alexander  Russell.  Among the  graduates  of
to-day may there not be a Fothergill and a Russell?
   Another  class of duties  which pertain to medical men
originate in their peculiar  relations to the community.   It
should never be forgotten that their  avocation  is a liberal
one, and that in the extended application of the  term.
Scientific information is not solely required to practise it
successfully, but a  knowledge  of mankind,  constituted  of
mental and affective faculties, as well as corporeal parts and
organs.   The  physician has need of intellectual cultivation;
he must likewise cherish the  cardinal virtues.  He minis-
ters to infirmities, and is exposed to passions;  it is incum-
bent upon him to exhibit gentleness, kindness, and human- 
24
ity.   I wish, however, to insist upon a quality which may
be termed a moral one, and this is candor.
  In its influence upon society, there is perhaps nothing so
impressive nor so fruitful of good as the correct and faithful
representation of things as they actually exist.  The neces-
sity  of  it is  more  conspicuous from the gloss and  the
fictitious  covering ordinarily investing the affairs  of life:
for  specious  misrepresentation  is so  prevalent,  that  the
attainment of declarative truth  is frequently difficult; it
perverts the atmosphere around us, and leads into mistake
and error.   Credulity would appear to be a ruling quality,
but to play upon it, or to make it subservient to  prosperity
and gain,  is beneath the  character of the wise or virtuous.
  Under  all circumstances, the  medical  profession should
be represented in its true light, without assumption or pre-
tension.   The science upon which its claims are based is,
like other sciences, pursued and comprehended through the
avenues of the senses and intelligence.  The physician is
no  prophet, no  miracle-worker.   He does not, moreover,
deal  in specifics; he  never  has, and never  will  possess
infallible remedies.  The whole art of medicine  consists in
studying nature, and in applying such resources  as will aid
and sustain her in spontaneous  efforts.  The expectation
has been  entertained, and in some quarters still  ignorantly
prevails, that certainty in the treatment  of disease can be
attained—that morbid  alterations  may be ultimately de-
prived of apprehension,  and death postponed until life has
run off its thread entire.   Has any knowledge that depends
upon the mere exercise of reason been thus effectual in
its  application?   Has even revelation,  when  proclaimed 
25
 through  mortal instruments, been thus successful?  Has
 the dispensation of the laws by the ablest intellects, or the
 eloquence and unction  of the holiest of men, been  able to
 eradicate moral degradation, or  the heinous distempers of
 the soul ?  All things are possible with God; but the power
 of man, directed by the most enlightened judgment,  by tact
 and knowledge, is limited.  Inability to  arrest decay of
 elements, and preserve vitality, when an inveterate malady
 or long and vicious  indulgence  has conspired against  it,
 implies no lack  of skill  or information.   It is  assumption
 then to approach the sick in any other character than that
 of one " who can only bring to his aid the patient attention
 of an  experienced and  carefully educated  man."   This
 candor demands, and to presume to more betokens the
 impostor.
   Again, the exercise  of candor  is imperative with the
 physician in  correctly stating the condition of his patients,
 either to themselves,  or to those who have the right to ask
 it.   This duty is a delicate one, requiring tact and feeling.
 It, moreover, frequently demands the utmost moral firmness.
 In cases of serious  illness, nothing  is more painful;  and it
 has been argued that it is cruel to depress the hope which
 may sustain  the  sinking  energies, and lead to a successful
 issue in  curative  endeavors;  and,  further,  that gloomy
 despondency, when countenanced by the medical adviser,
 will pall  exertion  on the part of the attendants,  whose
 fidelity and watchfulness are all-important.   Where hope
 exists, it  has its basis,  and the physician may properly
reflect its soul-inspiring  image.   But to the calm and expe-
rienced eye no ground  for  hope  may be perceptible,  and 
26
then the object which  presents itself is a being  created in
the likeness  of  his Maker, and  destined for immortality,
inevitably approaching a change  of state which has  been
appointed.  Should such an one be trifled with ?   Should he
be permitted  to pass the bounds of earth  under a delusion,
with worldly affairs unsettled, and, what is more important,
without  a preparation for the future?  Surely a weighty
responsibility rests on him who deliberately omits his duty.
  A class  of cases  is constantly  encountered  where the
physician is unjust, both to the sufferer and himself, in hot
being frank and candid; these are the chronic cases which
beset his path, and tax heavily his sympathy and his  skill.
When first encountered, they should be  no matter of dis-
guise, equivocation, or of hardy  promise.   To work cures
against  time is  impossible, and he who  is aware of  this,
as is the educated physician, should honestly proclaim it.
Were such principle  carried  out,  dissatisfaction and dis-
trust would be less frequent, and practitioners of medicine
have less cause for complaint, on  the  score of fickleness,
and want of  confidence among their patients.
  Permit me, in conclusion, to touch upon a topic which is
personal rather than  professional.   In your daily inter-
course with  mankind, opportunities will be  presented of
inculcating good and  eradicating  error.   Cultivate  then
elevation of  sentiment and correctness of  opinion.   In a
community constituted like our own, with baneful and dis-
organizing yet seductive doctrines  and practices  prevalent
on all sides, and springing like the rankest growth from a
soil rich  but uncultivated, it becomes the duty of the advo-
cates of sound principles to stay their growth, and lay them 
27
under, ere they  contaminate the moral atmosphere, and
spread distemper.  Your views and opinions will  be  not
only sought for, but be  quoted as  authority.  Especially
careful should you be  that they favor nothing that is sub-
versive  of the virtue, honor, happiness, or  prosperity of
your fellow-citizens, or of your country.
  And now, gentlemen, I must take leave of you.  There
are many subjects upon which, had time  permitted, I might
have  spoken to you.  Your own  good  sense must supply
the deficiency; and  if you seek to  be guided by an over-
ruling influence,  in all matters pertaining to your profes-
sion and to your own personal position, you will be directed
into right paths.   You must encounter trials  and meet with
reverses, as well  as enjoy success and  satisfaction.  Into
the hands, then, of that all-wise and beneficent Power com-
mit yourselves and your concerns, for He is a sure resort in
time of trouble, as well  as  the bestower  of all true pros-
perity.   Strive earnestly and conscientiously to act well
your part in life,  and a blessing will rest upon you.  With
affectionate earnestness, I say—
           Farewell! a word that must be, and hath been;
           A sound which makes us linger; yet, farewell!
