Personally we are right glad that we started out an “empty vessel” both from a literary and a medical standpoint, for it gave us a chance to fill up on something of value and worth while with no scientific false educational matter to dislodge, which false education reminds us of concrete, which when once set requires a chisel and a mallet to change it.
Homoeopathy needs, and it needs it badly, the work on diseases of the skin, and therapeutics which are not a rehash of allopathy with merely a few names of homoeopathic remedies sprinkled in a work which will show to the public the superiority of the higher potencies in skin diseases, and their advantages over the ignorant uses of crude, and near crude, drugs and all kinds of impossible local applications.

TOAST TO THE FATHER OF SAMUEL HAHNEMANN.
May I take you back previous to 1755? As you all know, today is nationally designated as Fathers Day. There is someone who receives only a scant historical interest, and yet, one who has played an important part in the rediscovery of the homoeopathic principle. He was like a high potency, whose only visible aspect was, and is, a label, yet whose dynamis sent out a boundless reaction, boundless in time and power. But for his efforts in behalf of his sons instruction homoeopathys advent might have been long postponed. I mention him in respect for our fathers in general; more particularly for those, our fathers, who were and are in the profession; for those of you who are fathers; and, most particularly for what my father has meant to and has done for me. Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, a toast to the father of Samuel Hahnemann!-D.T. PULFORD at the I.H.A. Banquet, Cleveland, Ohio, June 21, 1931.
