DESIGNED FOR USE AS A TEXT-BOOK IN MEDICAL COLLEGES, AND FOR CONSIDERATION BY PRACTITIONERS GENERALLY
The object of this book is to show just what is the cure sought in any given practice of homoeopathy—to show that that cure cannot be intelligently attempted excepting under guidance of similia similibus curantur as law, and to show that one may consistently accept homoeopathy and at the same time accept whatever else is good in medicine. Definition of the end sought in any given practice of homoeopathy is here recognized as essential to the most satisfactory exposition of homeopathy’s claim; such definition occurs and recurs throughout the book, and is never lost sight of.
Rational practice is here defined, and something is shown of wherein lies its strength, and wherein lie its limitations.
Empiricism is discussed: wherein lies its essential feebleness is shown, while at the same time reason is given for believing that we can never entirely outgrow the practice of empiricism.
Numbers I, II and IX of the contents are revised from Philosophy in Homoeopathy. In that book, as in its predecessor Similia Similibus Curantur, something was offered as positive argument in favor of Homoeopathy, but it is here omitted, because based upon premises which can not be assumed or, with propriety, discussed in the classroom of a medical college,—and as a textbook in the colleges this present book is intended. The only argument here offered in favor of homeopathy is one by exclusion.
It is hoped that Principles of Medicine will prove of interest to practitioners as well as to undergraduates.
