Containing many new insights, this book traces the fascinating and sometimes tortuous history of homoeopathy during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Excerpt from Philosophy in Homoeopathy: Addressed to the Medical Profession and to the General Reader In this first paper I shall suggest what I think might prove a means toward the establishment of the relation between patient and physician - the State and the Medical Profession - upon a basis more rational than commonly obtains. In a rational basis for this relation, or for anything else, there must be that which appeals to the reason. A medical man is (or should be), because of his education and experience, better able than his patient to apply principles in medical practice, and to judge of evidence in medical questions; but education, experience and evidence are not reason, and as to the reasonableness of theories upon which practice is based the patient may be as competent to judge as is his physician.

Excerpt from Are We to Have an United Medical Profession? A very common thing is for one graduated from a col lege where homeopathy is not taught, to enter upon practice a confirmed opponent of homeopathy - a system of which he has acquired none but most superficial impressions. This statement is abundantly illustrated in An Address to Some Students in a N on-h omeopathic Medical College contained in this book. The young gentlemen asking these questions were within a few weeks of graduation. I have not had the pleasure of further acquaintance with any of them, but the presumption is that within a few weeks of formulating their questions they had assumed relations in medical socie ties which, to say the least, did not conduce to any further knowledge of homeopathy. To graduates of old-school colleges who feel that they lack satisfactory knowledge of what homeopathy really is, I commend this book confident of its adequacy to their needs.
