Opis: Galen and Paracelsus (Classic Reprint) - Dalton John Call

Excerpt from Galen and Paracelsus

Mr. President and Gentlemen: As the agreeable duty has been assigned to me of offering to the Academy a paper this evening, I will venture to ask your attention, in the interval of more important business, to a brief sketch of two historical personages who may be considered as representing, each in his different way, two of the most remarkable phases of medical character.

These two persons are Galen and Paracelsus.

Galen was born early in the second century of the Christian era, at the city of Pergamus, near the western coast of Asia Minor, opposite the gean Archipelago. He was Greek by descent as well as by birth, the son of Nikon, an architect, who was a man of good fortune, and accomplished in his profession. Galen himself received a liberal education in the various branches of knowledge cultivated at the time.
