Page 434 - Many physicians of extensive experience are destitute of the ability of searching out and understanding the moral causes of disease ; they cannot read the book of the heart, and yet it is in this book that are inscribed, day by day, and hour by hour, all the griefs, and all the miseries, and all the vanities, and all the fears, and all the joys, and all the hopes of Man, and in which will be found the most active and incessant principle of that frightful series of organic changes which constitute...

From this time forth it may be supposed that many miracles were manifested at his new sepulchre, which were of essential service in confirming the Roman faith among the Germans, and St. Vitus...
