Book Description
Excerpt from The Homeopathic Therapeutics of Uterine and Vaginal Discharges The lamentable outcry, I have tried homoeopathy, but it failed, will find most instances thus exemplified. Dr. A. Has a case of gonorrhoea to attend. He does perhaps not even understand how to examine such a case in its minutiae in order to prescribe prop erly, but he has heard and read that Cannabis sativa is a good remedy for such a disorder; he gives it to his patient, but it failed to cure. Perhaps he tried another remedy with only the same re sult, and now he complains that homopathy cannot cure gomor rhoea, although hundreds of practitioners testify to the contrary. He new orders injections, etc. Should a stricture of the urethra be the result of it, that flag of Liberty of Action will protect him, for he had tried homopathy but, alas, how? Thus liberty of action (with freedom of thought we have nothing to do; let every one think as he pleases, that hurts nobody) will embrace and pet all practitioners if they only try homoeopathy to the best of their ability, no matter if in their ignorance they produce diseases of the heart, or secondary and tertiary syphilis, when treating rheuma tism and syphilis with external applications, or by producing quinine cachexia when abusing quinine in fevers, or by producing various forms of diseases by suppressing skin diseases, etc. If those who introduced this liberal innovation deny any intention of such kind, they should have given to the profession a better definition of their ideas, for without such a definition the sweeping phrase liberty of action becomes almost identical with lieentiousness. Hahne mann and his disciples never denied the use of mechanical means necessary for traumatic causes, nor the antidotes required in cases of poisoning, nor hygienic measures of any kind.
