TOLEDO, OHIO.
Captious critics and bumptious students have long made merry over the large number of peculiar, and, to them, trivial symptoms which appear in the materia medica, and also in the clinical records of homoeopathy-symptoms which appear no where else in medical literature, and which have not received the stamp of approval of the ruling authorities. The ordinary examiner never pays any attention to them when patients speak of them; the careless prescriber makes no use of them in selecting his remedy; and the pathologist cannot explain them. Yet there they stand in he materia medica and in the cases reported by many of our greatest prescribers who declare that they have found them useful and even indispensable. STUART CLOSE, M.D., from unpublished notes.
A true science and art of medicine must be based upon a true conception of the being and nature of man. a science which treats of man merely as a physical organism without due regard to his vital, mental and spiritual qualities, attributes, and relations, must be as inefficient as it is false. STUART CLOSE, M.D., from unpublished notes.
