    Notes that within 'two months of the first winter session' the medical student has studied so hard that he's nothing but 'ink-stains and industry', a 'walking chronicle of pathological statistics', and imagines himself as an 'embryo Hunter'. Upholds the importance of the stethoscope and the benefits of using it on oneself.
