Excerpt from The Science of Homœopathy: Or a Critical and Synthetical Exposition of the Doctrines of the Homœopathic School
Although the number of publications which have already been issued on the subject of Homoeopathy, with a View of defining and popularizing the fundamental tenets of this Science, is already quite considerable, yet I have no apology to offer for adding the present volume to their list. Having devoted the best part of my life to the study and practice of Homoeopathy, I have deemed it my right, as well as my duty, to promulgate my own conception of this medical doctrine, such as years of observation and reflection have developed it in my own mind. It is true the storehouse of facts and life-truths which constitute the boundless universe of Homopathy has been opened; yet the Holy of Holies of her glorious temple does not yet seem to have been fully entered by the cultivators of this Science. With this conviction on my mind, this present effort of mine to add a mite to the noble work, will be considered a pardonable weakness, and will be kindly received as the tribute of an earnest and ardent seeker and worshipper of Truth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critique of the homoeopathic method, starting from its origins in Hahnemann's ideas. The author explores the principles of homoeopathy and the use of potentised substances, as well as the fundamental laws that govern their employment in curing illness by finding similarities between the effects of a drug and the symptoms of a disease. The author also examines the possibility of a scientific classification of drugs based on their therapeutic effects. These ideas are contextualised within the history of medicine and the author prompts the reader to consider the distinction between the literal and liberal application of Hahnemann's ideas within homoeopathy. The author asserts that a medicine's value is not determined by its dose, and that prescribed drugs which act as palliatives can produce positive results. Through presenting both sides of the debate about homoeopathy, this book offers an incisive analysis of a medical practice which has sparked heated debate since its inception.
