various topics , the consideration of which must be comprehended in it ; and concludes the catalogue with the following just and most important observations : ' * Still , beyond these lessons , something is required to make them useful . It is not learning alone , or extensive reading , or any familiarity with verbal descriptions , which can prepare the student to know disease when he sees it , or to cure it when it is recognised . The materials for discourses on mfedicine are open to all ; but it is the superiority of the modes of clinical teaching , superadded to the utility of individual lecturers , which has given celebrity
