Excerpt from Similia Similibus Curantur? Addressed to the Medical Profession I see nothing to accept or offer as positive, practical proof that similars cure; on the other hand I see nothing to accept or offer as positive, practical proof that they do not. Until one has seen such proof pro or con, he is obliged to hold in abeyance the question of fact, whether similars cure. A question of opinion, however, which he must practically answer each time he treats a patient is, Is it worth while in this case to try to cure with a similar? I hope that in the following pages some light will be thrown upon this question of opinion. When one states publicly what he thinks of hom opathy it is important, to himself at least, that in doing so he be very accurate. I shall therefore offer no apology for stating here what is my personal position in this matter. My experience with hom opathy has been very limited. A question which cannot be answered now is whether I shall ever be able to say that I know I have seen cures effected through similars.
