Boerhaave after three hundred years.

Abstract

The tercentenary next week of the birth of the man who was long known as " the Dutch Hippocrates " would in itself warrant some notice in the British Medical 7ournal, for it is to him that we owe the scheme of medical teaching that was first put into operation in this country at Edinburgh, and it is that scheme, with extensions and modifications, that applies in our medical schools today.Boerhaave's fame, transcen- dent in his lifetime and long after his death, has tended to w~ane greatly during the last hundred years.
