They seem to be always desiring to placate the terrible allopath; he must be spoken of so softly; or they try so hard to be understood by him, to teach him our language by speaking his own or a mongrel language composed of the two; he must be convinced by imposing on the beautiful art of homoeopathy the strictures of scientific method, as if the allopath were really scientific at all.
Apologetic homoeopaths appear to forget that speaking English to an Englishman will not teach him French; that that quality of mind which can deal swiftly and surely with the imponderable and invisible, which can see truth clearly without facts and create facts from the vision is a higher quality of mind than that required for science; that a lower type of mind cannot see into a higher one, at least not without some kind of a shock, that honest, harsh criticism though aggravating at first is often the way to enable an honest mind to see itself as his critic sees it and to see into the critics mind as well, that contigent psychic turn in reasonable minds which reveals new truth and brings expansion.
