Excerpt from The Monthly Homoeopathic Review, 1876, Vol. 20 Oovery of general therapeutic laws.' Were they to be told to-day, in that great town, in the present state of medical science, to put their fist in the face Of gentlemen differing from them on those matters, and whose judgment might in some years' time, with their own, be entirely changed. For any man who knew anything whatever of the present state of therapeutics, to dare to say that all was right which they professed, and all was wrong which the homeopaths professed, was an act of audacity which could only be excused by ignorance. He could not meet these gentlemen in the treatment Of a case, inasmuch as they had one opinion in the main and he had another; at any rate as he at present viewed the matter. But that was no reason why he should show the slightest intolerance to men as com petent as he was, who might turn out to be more true than he was, and who were certainly as honest as he was. Under these circumstances, he asked the meeting with confidence to brush from their minds all those trumpery disputes. He asked them to tolerate these gentlemen, whether they agreed with them or not; to say that day that that Institute should be open to those gentlemen in spite of their difference of opinion. He asked them to add another page to the history of toleration, another record to the already honourable records of this famous town. He besought them to be true, not to the worst, but to the best traditions of their honourable calling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
