WATERBURY, CONN.
DISCUSSION.
DR. PULFORD A. The only way I know of to master the point of view is to divorce ourselves from everything else and go right into homoeopathy. We cannot mix it with anything else and get the point of view.
Boenninghausen expressed a great truth when he said of homoeopathy: “Ever more glorious homoeopathy, ever more glorious with its hand in the firmament of fact! Ever more glorious will she show her wonderful power if she is not decked in any false or any borrowed attire or ornaments”.
Homoeopathy is an independent thing and every foreign admixture is to her detriment. If we will go to work and divorce ourselves from those things and go right into homoeopathy, we will get the point of view that Dr. Hayes has so ably expressed.
He has given us a wonderful paper and if we were all to study and work out that point of view, homoeopathy would prosper, and we would all grow.
CHAIRMAN SPALDING: Dr. Hayes said in starting that he really summed up the things that have been said before but he has, nevertheless, presented it in a new way, and an old, old story can be told by different individuals enough differently so that it helps somebody else. I think it is very much worth while.
The best specialty for the homoeopathist is to study each case specially, that is to say, individualize and find out what is peculiar, special or characteristic, in each case. When the patient is sick enough to need medicine, the vital force is sure to cry out for help in such a way that no intelligent homoeopath can fail to understand its meaning. The best of all specialists, then, is the physician who understands the Organon and has the ability to apply the rules laid down therein for the healing of the sick. A.G. ALLAN, M.D., 1889.
