[Begin excerpt - check for typos]
. . . das sind jene freiwilligen Candidaten der Medizin, die sich in
die ganze Krankheitslehre hinein lesen, die sich aus Büchern Recepte
verschreiben; zu deren Einem Marcus Herz, der berühmt gewordene Feind
alles Schwindels, einmal sagte: Lieber Freund! Sie werden noch einmal
an einem Druckfehler sterben!

. . . these are those voluntary candidates of medicine, who read
themselves into the whole doctrine of disease, who prescribe
themselves recipes from books; to one of whom Marcus Herz, the famous
enemy of all fraud, once said: Dear friend! You will die once again
from a printing error!

. . . these are the voluntary medical candidates who read their way
into the whole of pathology, who prescribe prescriptions from books;
To one of them Marcus Herz, the famous enemy of all fraud, once said:
Dear friend! You'll die from a misprint all over again!
