HOMOEOPATHY AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH
The public health is the counterpart of the commonwealth. That a system of medicine which has sustained itself independently and grown in a compound ratio for a hundred years; which has its own literature and its schools, its clinics, societies, and hospitals, as well as its pupils and practitioners in every civilized community, is closely related to the health of the people is self-evident. To doubt this proposition would be like questioning whether Protestantism is related to Christianity, charity to benevolence, or the sunlight to the evolution of plants and flowers.
