Excerpt from Three Lectures, Preliminary to a Course on the Principles and Practice of Surgery: Delivered on the 4th, 8th, and 9th of October, 1849, Before the Medical Class of the University of Pennsylvania With Dr. Putzer, the professor of surgery, I did not become acquainted. I called at his house and left a letter of introduction, but found he was absent on professional duty. He was well spoken of by his colleagues, and is particularly distinguished as a military surgeon having been, I believe, for a considerable time in the Prussian army. Nor did I see Professors Killian and Nasse, both eminent in their seve ral departments.
