Excerpt from The British Journal of Homoeopathy, 1856, Vol. 14 I have begun of late to hold more cheerful opinions re garding the power of medicines over this disease; and if I cannot look forward to a time when remedies Shall be discovered capable of rebuilding structures which have been taken down, and removed, - I see nothing to forbid the hope that homceo pathic physicians will yet be able to arrest the progress of dila pidation in a large proportion of cases that have in past times yielded to remedies but a temporary and delusive obedience, or none at all; and that in a still larger proportion of cases they will find themselves able, by stopping the action which feeds them, to clear away the morbid accumulations, whose obstructive presence it is that mainly occasions the wasting of the proper tissues by suspending their functional uses.
