Dr. William Henry Welch, the main architect of scientific medicine in the United States, has said this about his father who was also a physician and practiced in Norfolk, Connecticut: "The instant he entered the sick room, the patient felt better. The art of healing seemed to surround his physical body like an aura; it was often not his treatment but his presence that cured." (Anatomy of an Illness, p. 18)
