Thomas Sydenham Quote

All this is mighty fine! but it won't do — Anatomy — botany — nonsense! Sir, I know an old woman in Covent Garden, who understands botany better; and as for anatomy, my butcher can dissect a joint full and well: — no, young man, all this is stuff; you must go to the bedside, it is there you alone can learn disease!
