Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE These lectures were delivered in the Post-graduate School Of Homceopathics, and published in the Journal of Homoeopathies, and, now in somewhat revised form, are given to the profession with the hope that they will prove useful to some in giving a clearer apprehension of the doctrines of Homoeopathy. They are not intended, in any sense, to take the place of the Organon, but should be read with that work, in the form of a commentary, the object in each lecture being to dwell upon the particular doctrine sufficiently to perceive and emphasize the master's thought. Not all of the paragraphs in the Organon have been considered, as many of them are sufficiently clear to the reader and their teaching is quite obvious. Homoeopathy is now extensively disseminated over the world, but, strange to say, by none are its doctrines so distorted as by many of its pretended devotees. Homoeopathics treats of both the science and the art of healing by the law of similars, and if the art is to remain and progress among men the science must be better understood than at present. To apply the art without the science is merely a pretension, and such practice should be relegated to the domain of empiricism. To safely practice the art of curing sick people, the homoeopathic physician must know the science. It is not to be expected that this course of lectures covers the whole subject of homoeopathic philosophy, but it is intended to serve as an introduction to further study, and as a text-book for students, that they may have a sound starting, and become interested in the objects of this work.
