THE ESSENTIALS OF HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY

by

In recognizing the vast importance of the life force as the most potent factor in health and disease, and in studying and interpreting the language of symptoms as the messengers who bring tidings of the inner man and reflect the true state of order that prevails, we need not ignore other important things which may affect health. Our only plea is to place things in their proper order of importance and relation.

I have only praise for anything in the realm of medicine that will aid in the relief of suffering and in the cure of sickness. I recognize as valuable all contributions that have come to us from various sources and gladly give them a place in the store house of knowledge.

But to be truly progressive and to accomplish real results in medicine as well as in any other vocation of life, we must bow to principle and law.

If we are guided by principle and law we soon are able to place things in their proper value and relation to each other.

We will not encroach on the realm of surgery by attempting to a set a broken leg with the indicated remedy, although we may do much toward producing a speedy union of bone by stimulating the life force to specific action along those special lines.

Nor would we attempt with surgery to cure a tuberculous lung when only the proper remedy together with general care is needed.

These are a few stray sparks of thought that may stimulate discussion and bring forth an abundant harvest of mature and ripened fruits for our use.

  4. HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY AND MODERN MEDICINE From the atom to immensity, in every realm of nature and in every part of it, intelligence is displayed. The microscope, the telescope and the test tube, as well as reason, alike reveal it. Everywhere are the evidences of purpose, design and will. Everywhere energy is present. Everywhere action and reaction are taking place. Everywhere law reigns. All these are the powers, qualities and attributes of Mind and Life, and of nothing else. Nothing can conform to law without knowing. Conformity to law implies intelligence. Certainly nothing can originate a...
