About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Makers of Modern Medicine by James Joseph Walsh. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The present volume is published at the solicitation of many friends who have read the articles contained in it as they appeared at various times in magazines and who deemed that they were worth preservation in a more permanent form. The only possible claim for its filling a want lies in the fact that it presents these workers in medicine not only as scientists but also and especially as men, in relation to their environment, social, religious and educational. - Summary by Preface
