摘要：I am writing to ask for your help in our solicitation of suggestions for inclusion in the forthcoming Familiar Medical Quotations, to be published by Little, Brown and Company. This book of quotations is intended to be a collection of wit and wisdom from and about physicians of the ages. The writings and utterances of physicians, teachers, and investigators from the dawn of medical history to the present are being sifted for the nuggets of genius and brilliant good humor which characterize the humanity of a profession. The collection will also include quotes from lay writers-including the scriptures-dealing with disease, doctors, and medical life.
