During the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment, science was increasingly respected and physicians upgraded their social status by becoming more scientific. The health field became inundated by self-trained providers of medicine, and many medical schools relied on lectures and readings such as this one as their primary method of teaching. Students in their final years would have the opportunity to gain clinical experience by shadowing the professor through the wards.
