Page 92 - Whatever the opponents of this system may put forward against it, I am bound to say, and I am far from being a homoeopathic practitioner, that the cases I saw treated by it in the Vienna hospital were fully as acute and virulent as those that have come under my observation elsewhere, and the statistics show that the mortality is much less than in the other hospitals of that city.
Page 392 - Homoeopathists, and when they describe a cure we can repeat it, as they and we operate with the same tools. In one word, we would do well to go forward uninterruptedly in the beaten path. Then our enemies will not be able to reproach us with having nothing fixed — no normal standard.
Page 12 - In the first place, we introduce the agent into the midst of a set of circumstances which we have exactly ascertained. It needs hardly be remarked how far this condition is from being realized in any case connected with the phenomena of life ; how far we are from knowing what are all the circumstances which pre-exist in any instance in which mercury is administered to a living being.

Page 12 - We take the utmost pains to exclude all causes capable of composition with the given cause ; or if forced to let in any such causes, we take care to make them such that we can compute and allow for their influence, so that the effect of the given cause may, after the subduction of those other effects, be apparent as a residual phenomenon.

Then again, there are, I may say, hundreds of trifling cases admitted here, which would not have been admitted into any hospital in England.
Page 8 - ... economy, and the relations in which they stand to each other, and to the external agents by which man is surrounded and acted upon from the moment of conception down to his latest breath. In other words, the first step towards rational principles of cure must consist in a knowledge of the lates of the healthy functions.
Page 9 - I may say saturated, with the great principle or truth, that all the operations and actions of the living body, whether healthy or morbid, take place according to fixed and discoverable laws, and that God has left nothing to chance. With this grand fact before us, it becomes palpably evident that we can do nothing rational, in the way of either prevention or cure, except in so far as we act in accordance with these laws. Many medical men have, however, a very different impression from this. A good...
