The criminals
whose fate is disposed
of in the
way of punishment
not so
such of a
decision of which
the is in the
mind a degree of uncertainty
manifesting itself
the states
in a certain shape.</p>
were in whose
office their fate

Considering in
what hands this
trust has of late
years been reposed
it has often been a
matter of doubt with
me [whether if the
parts had been revised]
whether
a hand more perfectly
the patients character
incompetent to the
task could have been then their plans
then could
easily have been found.
A point on about which
I have been most
is that
under a good physician
or even under a
physician chosen
by lot out of the
whole body of that
most respectable
and learned
profession the management
of these
unfortunates would
have been conducted
with a degree of utility shall
such as would have
and that would have formed
a striking contrast with
the management exemplified
in practice.

Physicn Convicts
From the desperateness
of the patients
case a physician
does not consider
as the more worthy patient is the less
but as the less more worthy
of his care.
The No physician physician and
the most intemperate worst
of physicians does
not fall into a
passion with a
patient as not with
a single patient
much less with all
his patients in a
as in if
our prime
a state officers and
to be with every
body whom according
to the calculation of
the he could
with impunity.
No physician
of connives himself
to be discharging
his duty to his
patients by sending
them as far as possible out of his sight.
No physician regards
it as above beneath
his dignity, or above
or on use of
his capacity powers to
enter into the closest
and strict anxious
study investigative characteristic of the nature
of the disease as or
well as of every
thing that has ever
presented itself in
the character of a remedy.
