"Dans les discours et dans les choses, ce sont deux sortes de personnes

Car s'il n'emporte point le mal,
Il emporte au moins le malade."
(Beaumarchais, _le Barbier de Seville_, II, 13).

These reproaches were, it must be owned, fully justified by the practice
of almost all doctors, which was marked by ignorance and barbarism.
