A Doctor Of The Old School is a classic novel written by Ian McLaren. The story is set in the small Scottish village of Drumtochty in the late 1800s and revolves around the life of Dr. William MacLure, a dedicated and compassionate physician who has been practicing medicine for over 50 years. Dr. MacLure is deeply respected and loved by the people of Drumtochty, who regard him as a pillar of the community.The novel explores the various challenges and triumphs that Dr. MacLure faces over the course of his long and distinguished career. From treating the poor and needy to dealing with the wealthy and powerful, Dr. MacLure's life is a testament to the power of kindness, compassion, and dedication.Throughout the book, readers are introduced to a cast of colorful characters, including Dr. MacLure's loyal assistant, Davie, and his beloved dog, Hector. The novel also explores the themes of love, loss, and the importance of community in times of crisis.Overall, A Doctor Of The Old School is a heartwarming and inspiring novel that celebrates the life and legacy of a truly remarkable physician. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, Scottish literature, or simply a good old-fashioned story about the power of human connection.Doctor MacLure did not lead a solemn procession from the sick bed to the dining room, and give his opinion from the hearthrug with an air of wisdom bordering on the supernatural, because neither the Drumtochty houses nor his manners were on that large scale. He was accustomed to deliver himself in the yard, and to conclude his directions with one foot in the stirrup; but when he left the room where the life of Annie Mitchell was ebbing slowly away, our doctor said not one word, and at the sight of his face her husband's heart was troubled.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
