".The Profession are willing that Homeopathy should be examined but only on condition that it shall be done with the mind made up as to the result. If conclusions are reached contract to received opinions they refuse to listen not merely to the reasoning but to the testimony of their former associates . I entered upon a set of experiments to satisfy my own mind on a single point. This point appears to me worthy of all the prominence I gave it in my essay. To it I think most of the objections urged against the system generally are not applicable. I endeavored to show that in doses very much smaller than the Profession usually suppose possible there is an alternative power in medicines which can be made available in the cure of disease."<br /> <br /> Rodman would publish his paper on the subject in 1851 titled An Examination of the Evidence in Regard to Infinitesimal Doses. unknown

Occasional minor foxing one plate with a small spray of black dots from printing process but a fine copy internally the text clean and fresh and the plates bright with pleasing colors.<br/> <br/> This work promotes the efficacy of homeopathic remedies through the use of detailed botanical illustrations and thorough descriptions of 66 plants--from benign specimens such as chamomile and coffee to hazardous species such as poison ivy and ergot. The descriptions of each plant include their botanical characteristics history means of identification geographical distribution physiological effects in humans and animals parts of the plant used and methods of preparation and their general use in homeopathy as well as numerous case studies and clinical observations that supposedly prove the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of various physical and mental diseases. Edward Hamilton 1815-1903 was a member of the British Homeopathic Society and a Physician to the London Homeopathic Hospital founded in 1849. In addition to providing a useful reference for practitioners of homeopathy Hamilton attempts in the present work to elevate and legitimize the practice in the eyes of the public and the larger medical community. The origins of homeopathy go back to the end of the 18th century but the approach became especially popular in the 19th century as an alternative to conventional Western medicine--often referred to by homeopaths as "allopathy"--whose methods at the time could be ineffectual or even dangerous to the health of the patient for example bloodletting and purging. Practitioners of homeopathy operate under the belief that "like cures like." In the words of the National Library of Medicine this means that "Practitioners select a drug that would if given to a healthy volunteer cause the presenting symptoms of the patient. For example the homoeopathic remedy Allium cepa is derived from the common onion. Contact with raw onions typically causes lacrimation stinging and irritation around the eyes and nose and clear nasal discharge. Allium cepa might be prescribed to patients with hay fever especially if both nose and eyes are affected." Crucially homeopathic remedies are harmless to the patient because they are diluted many times over--to the point that the active ingredient is an infinitesimal part of the solution. For example when taken this way the fatal Atropa Belladonna commonly known as Deadly Nightshade which "produces phenomena of inflammation in the peripheral tissues" is especially successful at treating ailments related to inflammation. The author notes that it was even administered as a prophylaxis against scarlet fever dubious studies of which are discussed here at length. Other surprising recommendations in the book include Henbane for nymphomania Bitter Cucumber for dysentery and Cannabis for a range of maladies that include tetanus acne and gonorrhea. Our copy is in remarkably good condition for a work that was intended to be referred to again and again with the hand-colored plates being unusually bright and especially well preserved. There are very few early homeopathic books with significant illustrations and none approaching the level of detail and artistry seen in the present work. H. Baillière unknown

Good.<br /> <br /> The Massachusetts Medical Society preferred charges against Bushnell Fuller and six other physician members of the Society for "Conduct unbecoming and unworthy an honorable physician and member of this Society" i.e. practicing homeopathy. The Society's Board of Trial conducted the proceedings "at the Society's Rooms." The alleged miscreants purportedly sought to "disorganize and destroy" the Massachusetts Medical Society and to become members of the Massachusetts Homoeopathic Medical Society. A By-Law of the Massachusetts Medical Society prohibited any Member from professing "to cure diseases by Spiritualism Homoeopathy or Thompsonianism."<br /> With defendants protesting what they regarded as a kangaroo-court the trial proceeded. The detailed closing arguments for "the Accused" are printed here as well as summaries of the testimony. In what was a foregone conclusion they were all found guilty and expelled from the Massachusetts Medical Society. <br /> II Harv. Law Cat. 1031. unknown
