Author Description

Excerpt from The Treatment of Disease From the Homeopathic Standpoint Upon invitation of that body, the following lecture was delivered before "The Philosophical Society of Chicago," on the 20th of April, 1878. The notes for it were made while the author resided in Chicago and had access to several excellent libraries; but, having no thought then of its publication, the original notes of quotation were destroyed, and the author is now unable in every instance to give credit where credit is due. "Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors." And so is the larger part of all we can say of anything. A few facts and statistics of later date are added to the published lecture. A subject which is fraught with such paramount importance to the human family as the treatment of disease, demands at our hands our deepest scrutiny into the mysteries and facts that everywhere and always surround us; our best wisdom in the apprehension of facts; our best philosophy in deducing the totality of the relations and conditions of things, and our highest integrity in accepting what is true, and rejecting what is false, no matter to what conclusions that course may lead us. Truth is more than men or theories, and we must follow after and cherish it wherever we find it, though it demolish all the theoretical and speculative gods in our Pantheon.
