Who has not seen it,I have felt that a well-trained homoeopath ought, of all people, to be best fitted to cope with cases of this ought, of all taught to see the patient as a whole, to investigate every detail of his sufferings and to note the influence upon him of his environment and his activities. the first interviews which we hotel with our patients often partake much of the character of the confessional and give almost as great relief. Putting vague fears and indefinite discomforts into words helps the patient of understand himself and the explanations of the physician increase this understanding.
Again our teaching leads us to consider m,mental symptoms of the highest importance in studying our cases we strive to use diligence and tact in bringing to light such symptoms and getting at there cause,and we use all our ingenuity to find means for relieving them.
And lastly,we have what no other physician can have, our well proven Homoeopathic remedies which for the whole patient including his mental condition. We have reason to be very thankful for the invaluable aid of the well developed section on the mind which we find in our rewriters,especially that of Dr.Kent.
For years our society and among its miners one who gave himself especially it t the care of nervous cases in an environment, which was in many ways ideal fore their relief. It was a great comfort to be able to put under the care of a man like Dr.Patch any patient who needed help not available in his usual surroundings.
Dr.Patch has gone from us. Is there not someone who could take us and carry on his work-or the glory of homoeopathy and the good of humanity?.
