TEMPERAMENTS



I believe that this question of temperament, like any of these other phases, will naturally fall in line and rather than being any disagreement today, it seems to me that in our bureau we are having a remarkable convergence of opinion, with each man adding his contribution to the unified whole, as it were, giving us a renewed concept of the superior quality of homoeopathy. We have a renewed conviction that we have something that has not been superseded by anything better, and I believe we will be better satisfied to go forward and follow along the lines of a higher and purer homoeopathy than we have been heretofore.

With us, the vexed question of dose has caused more discord and bitterness than any other; by it we are divided into hostile camps of materialists and dynamists; one side without actual experience with dynamized drugs, flippantly denying efficiency to all attenuations carried beyond the reach of material analysis, forgetting that the human organism supplies a more sensitive testing instrument than can be found either in the clumsy scalpel of the anatomist, the laboratory of the chemist or in the lens of the microscopist.

No one denies the limited range of curative action which dwells in crude drugs, nor in the appreciable doses of the low dilutionists, but the more subtle powers of highly potentized drugs are revealed only to those who faithfully observe the rules which are inseparable from Hahnemannian homoeopathy.-A.R. MORGAN, M.D., 1895.
