   • 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 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.
