Excerpt from Handbook and Souvenir of Canada: British Medical Association, Toronto Meeting, 1906Sir Henry Holland, in his Recollections of Past Life, frequently referred with pardonable pride to the extent of his travels, and the benefits, physi cal and professional, that he had derived from them. The dean of Canadian medicine, Dr. D. Mex. Parker, of Halifax, who retired, after fifty years of practice, in 1895, as President of the Dominion Medi cal Association, attributed his success largely to his almost yearly visits to London and Edinburgh. Of all the professions none needs a holiday season of travel more than the medical, none, for obvious reasons, has less opportunity of enjoying it. For those members of the British Medical Association who may be able to take advantage of the rare chance now offered them to see the New World, and the keystone colony of the Empire, the present handbook has been prepared, with special reference to the needs and tastes of such readers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
