Homeopathy to the Rescue

Time and Time again Homeopathy has come to the rescue in times of an epidemic.

The Homoeopathic profession is greatly indebted to Dr. E. M. Kellogg, of this city, for the laborious collection and arrangement of the mass of statistics embodied in the Minority Report, which fully sustains Gov. Pinckney, in the following conclusions, with which he sums up.“I. – That Homoeopathy has ceased to be an experiment, and is on established system of medicine.”“II. – That as compared with Allopathy, the expense of Homoeopathic treatment is much less.”“III. – That the duration of disease under Homoeopathic treatment is much less.”“IV. – That the mortality under Homoeopathic treatment is much less.”

From Dr. Routh’s “Fallacies of Homoeopathy,” we have the following summary

Notwithstanding the overwhelming testimony thus adduced in support of Homoeopathic treatment, the majority of the Committee report against its introduction into Bellevue Hospital, and although the subject lies upon the table, waiting for final action, we can hardly hope for a favorable decision, at present, and those who are so unfortunate as to become subjects for Hospital treatment, in this great city, must still continue to undergo all the horrors of Allopathy.
