HOMOEOPATHY AND THE FUNDAMENTAL LAWS



That is the thing that should appeal to scientific men in Homoeopathy. Homoeopathy is based on law and is correlated with the universal law of cause and effect. There is no getting away from it, if you will study, as the doctor has so ably brought out here. That is why, for instance, in the Mayo clinic today they are making quite definite diagnoses by the utilization of this electric magnetic process. Some of these disease germs are put into an electric field, an electro-magnetic field, carrying one charge or another of electricity, whichever it may be. They are drawn to the electric pole for which they have affinity, and streptococci of various forms and influence and they claim they are making a most accurate diagnosis. They can see under the ultra-microscope the passage of bacterium from one pole or the other of the electro-magnetic field.

Crile, in his wonderful work on the bi-polar work of living processes, has shown man is an immense storage battery made of some twenty trillion bi-polar electric cells, each a unit and formed into systems to make up organs, and so forth, and all these systems correlated and under the dominance of the whole organism, as a whole, to perform work for the whole, and to regulate and repair itself under these same laws, and, as the doctor stated, such little thing, such as an emotional upset, or things of that kind, will overbalance and bring to a state of sometimes very severe sickness.

Now, that instrument of precision have you to measure the amount of that emotional disturbance? It is simply in a field so attenuated and so fine that there is no instrumentality to measure. We only know of its force by its effects. That is why our infinitesimal remedies-they are electrolytes of a measured, specific charge-they, floating around in the blood stream of a sick patient, go to those cells that are calling them by the electro-magnetic affinities, and when they reach those cells, there is an equilibrium established.

DR.OVERPECK:We will all go home and read this paper. who else will read it? I say that such a paper as that should be sent to every doctor in the whole country and every school, and we should give some few dollars to help do that.
