“Let them who refuse to admit the utility of food to make man more wise or more timid, or more savage or more civilised, or more incontinent or more reserved, bolder or more timid or friends of disputed or of war, coming to better senses, ask me to learn from me what he should eat or drink. Because they will profit in this regard of the moral philosophy (the sentiments) and besides they will impress a progress to the virtues of logical mind (intelligence) becoming more intelligent, more studious, more prudent and will acquire out of it a good memory. In fact I instruct them not only one the foods and drinks and on the weathers, but also on the temperaments of ambient air, and I teach them also what region they should select, to escape.”

After having read that publication, the doctors who have the sense of duty and who wish consequently to prevent their clients from all forms of immorality, should throw into the sea all their prejudices of allopathic or homoeopathic school etc. Then they will control, by experiment and observation, the utility of anaphrodisiac medicines that that I have recommended here, after which they will use them to may example, for the greatest profit of private and public morality.
If some professors of the faculties of medicines equally moved by the sense of duty, had one the same thing, and then had taught this moralising treatment to their students, who would use it and popularise it in their turn in their clients, there would result out of it an effective moralising current in the society.
The catholic faculties of medicine of Like (North) and the Louvain (Belgium) have perhaps some professors well prepared to fulfil this scientific and social duties according to the judicious advice, mentioned above of Saint Paul: Omnia probate et quod bonum tenete, experiment, everything and keep only what is good. These professors have not up till now taught to treat by the help of medicine but the material in man; let them teach now to treat by some medicines, the moral being in man. Thus they will cause a scientific and social progress.
These discoveries of the treatment of genital passion, of alcoholism and of other defects will not perhaps be utilised by the doctors.
Thus the medicines, that I have shown so useful against alcoholism and even here, against the genital passion are borrowed from homoeopathy. And, if the latter is not applied by the practitioners and taught by the professors of the faculties of medicine, one will be deprived of means of fighting alcoholism that furnished to the law 72 Percent of condemned in France, and the genital passion which, after alcoholism, is the passion producing more condemns by the law.
“There are no doubt says Taine, “Some minds, very strong and very prompt to resist to this monopoly of teaching: all that which is given to them they absorb and digest; when they go out of the school and get passed in all the examinations, they guard the faculty of learning, to search, to invent, to compose the elites of savants, the educated, the artists, the engineers, the doctors who in the international exhibition of superior talents, maintain France in her former rank.”
Aristotle in his Treaty on Soul (Book 2, Ch. 5, V.84) spiritually mock at the learned men who, having much knowledge, limit themselves to the sanctimonious contemplation of their knowledge; they call them savants in power. He has, on the contrary, a great consideration for the learned men who, having these knowledges, try to apply them. They are called the real savants. They judge with reason only the aim of each science and its utilisation.
There would have surely advantage to vulgarise this method of treatment by medicine of passion of the genitals, of alcoholism and of other defects of character and of intelligence. This treatment, I repeat, constitute the only medical discovery which contributes to the civilisation of morality and intellect; all the other discoveries in medicine do not contribute but to the material civilisation.
Gallavardin set up a homeopathic Dispensary for the cure of alcoholics, often working in conjunction with priests, and he wrote several books on this subject.
Jean Pierre Gallavardin wrote Psychism and Homeopathy, The Homoeopathic Treatment of Alcoholism, How to Cure Alcoholism the Non-toxic Homoeopathic Way, Repertory of Psychic Medicines with Materia Medica, Plastic Medicine, and articles for The British Journal of Homeopathy, On Phosphoric Paralysis, and he collated the statistics on pneumonia and other cases for the United States Journal of Homeopathy, and he contributed widely to homeopathic publications.
