Excerpt from Similia Similibus Curantur? Addressed to the Medical Profession The difficulty of inducing with drugs effects which resem ble in any considerable degree those of many diseases with which we have to deal is not to be blinked, but I think that a difficulty equally great, and of much the same nature, must be met by any practice which attempts to cure other wise than empirically. This point will be touched upon again let us for the present observe simply that the theory of homoeopathy finds no obstacle here the difficulty is a practical one, and while it may embarrass one in the treat ment of some cases, perhaps very many cases, it need not, I think, deter him from regarding similia as law. Some cases may be incurable for aught similia says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
