Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Journal and Examiner, Vol. 42: January to July, 1881 A large part of the diseases coming under the care of the physician, are caused by errors in diet, drinks, clothing, ventila tion and other matters included under the term hygiene; and no one can attain the highest degree of success as a practitioner, who does not fully appreciate the importance of careful attention to the hygienic influences affecting his patients. The object of such attention is two-fold: namely, to remove or correct such erroneous habits and conditions as may be still acting as causes; and the substitution of such as will positively aid in the restoration of the patient.

Second, a sincere desire on the part of the faculty to put into practical Operation a system of medical college instruction more in accordance with sound educational principles, and better adapted to the present state of the science and art of medicine, than that which has been so long adhered to by the medical schools of this country.
