- 1699, Robert Barret, A Companion for Midwives, Child-Bearing Women, and Nurses., London, Preface:
- We cannot reasonably ſuppoſe that Adam, who was ſo univerſally Skill'd in the Natures of all Plants, ſhould have been ignorant of their Vulnerary Qualities: Or that he would not employ this his Skill in endeavouring to cure Wounds, or Hurts, when any of his new-planted Stock had the Misfortune te[sic] receive 'em. Abel was wounded and kill'd by Cain, and can we imagine that Adam's Prudence would not uſe its Chirugical endevours to redreſs ſuch diſaſters, when poſſible[?]
- 1851, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Golden Legend, Boston, Mass.: Ticknor, Reed, and Fields, →OCLC, page 266:
- For none but a clever dialectician / Can hope to become a great physician; / […] / After this there are five years more / Devoted wholly to medicine, / With lectures on chirurgical lore, / And dissections of the bodies of swine, / As likest the human form divine.
