Excerpt from Homoeopathy and Hydropathy Impartially Appreciated: With Notes Illustrative of the Influence of the Mind on the Body Some years have elapsed since the former edition was published, the work having been long out of print. It is consequently now in great part rewritten ; and though not much exceeding its original limits, a good deal of additional matter has been introduced. On perusing the publications emanating from the advocates of a particular remedy or mode of treatment, addressed to the general public through various advertising media, one can scarcely fail to be struck with the circumstance that the practice or remedy of which each treats, is all in all; little or no account being taken by the writers of any other, and that with but few exceptions all the cases recorded in similar publications have a highly favorable termination; no mention being made of failures, which, if inquiry could be instituted, would not unfrequently be found to outnumber the successes; nor of only slight and partial ameliorations occurring in the condition of other patients, after, it may be, a long course of treatment.
