WILLIAM TOD HELMUTH
American physician and medical writer
(1833 - 1902)

Oh, powerful bacillus,
  With wonder how you fill us,
    Every day!
      While medical detectives,
        With powerful objectives,
          Watch your play.
      - Ode to the Bacillus [Medicine]

Hail! Philadelphia, tho' Quaker thou be,
  The birth-day of medical honors to thee
    In this country belongs; 'twas thou caught the flame,
      That crossing the ocean from Englishmen came
        And kindled the fires of Wisdom and Knowledge
          Inspired the student, erected a college,
            First held a commencement with suitable state,
              In the year of our Lord, seventeen sixty-eight.
      - The Story of a City Doctor [Philadelphia]
