N2  - This is a speech delivered by the author at the Leyden University Hospital in Holland in September 1938 in commemoration of the two hundredth anniversary of the death of Herman Boerhaave. One can read this lecture and yet know little as to why Boerhaave was a great man, although the reader will have been told many times that he was great. The author's English is at times awkward and repetitious. Boerhaave prepared for the ministry but in 1691, at the age of 22, turned to the study of medicine. He practiced in Leyden and came to be a professor of medicine, a professor of botany and still later a professor of chemistry. His breadth of knowledge brought him world fame. He was in poor health for many years before his death, finding it necessary for associates to hold his clinics. He was offered a position on the faculty of Groningen
