| Il is very Significantly asked by X. Y. what
the Homeopathic physicians would dos Il the
old naieSh medica is 80 defective - 4 has
been represented


II is MOI the articles Of the materia medica
that are detective, but is an ignorance Of their
real virtues and properties in the physiciPs
who use Them. and consequently, OF their ap-
pication to cases Of disease, that is complained

The correct application ofa remedy HomGo-
pathicay, is not in the least degree affected,
however much its use may have been abused
or perverted by Allopathy. Every article Of
the Homeopathic maieria medica is subjected
TO long and severe ordeal OF experiments made
with il upon the healthy The deviations from
healthy action produced by i, make US &C.
quainted with its properties and virtues; and

The assertion OF x. Y. that .'either Allopa-
lhic doses are administered in every case Of

by any proofs or facts or any thing else except,

Messrs. Editors, been so unfortunate as TO lose

city, either Of bilious or any other disease, nor
have Allopathic doses been employed; and
make this statement, not boastingly, but mere

results Of Homeopathic treatment, by K.
Y. "in our meridian" Valuable as pure
pathological phenomena are TO the physicians,

inform us, of the size Of the doses, that
are necessary to be used. Besides, am

Allopahic treatment, the pathological condi-.
tion Of the patient is seriously aggravated and
often dangerously heightened, by the very
means used to cure him. How then can any
conclusion be arrived at, as to the kind or quar-
tity Of medicine necessary to effect cure 3
And il x. refers 70 appearances on dissec
ton after death, his knowledge of the curative
creased. "What advantages, "says late AL
lopatic writer, .'have centuries OF dissection
contributed to the healing art2 We hear of a
great many, truly but lungs decomposed,
livers enlarged, bone, muscle and intestine, in
various stages of corruption, would seem to
comprise the whole. These are nevertheless
what modern professors put up in bottles and
cases, and exultingly show off, as beautiful
specimens!" ''Superb collections !" pointing
them out at the same time TO their credulous
pupils as the trophies of science, when they
might more truly describe them as the triumphs
of death over their own want OF skill. The
success of Homeopathic treatment, every
where, in severe and acute cases Of disease is
far above that of the ordinary practice; but its
besetting sin, in the eyes OF its opponents,
seems TO be, its inability to conquer every dis
ease-to cure every patient. In Cholera Asi-
atica, we have shewn that Homeopathic treat
ment cures more than 80 patients out Of 100;
whereas Allopathy cures scarcely SO in the
hundred In my 4,h communication il was
stated that DR.. Hermann lost but l patient out

tice.


DR.. Fleishman physician of the hospitals of
the Barmherzigen Schwestern, (Sisters Of
Charity at Vienna, in which all patients are
treated HomGopathically, reports in his statis-
teal returns for the year l845, that he treated
l34 patients laboring under gastric and inter-
mittent fever, which were doubtless Of a bill.

remained under treatment at the time of max

and dangerous form Of disease, he treated 2O9
cases, and 81 died, or 10 per cent, result be-
low the average number of deaths in the AL
lopathic hospitals, in Vepna, including all dis
eases. The average amount Of mortality in
this hospital, where more than 1000 patients
were treated, for the years l844, and As, for
all diseases is 6 per cent. As have no re-

ma for these years, am not able TO exhibit
comparative view, but | can present statistical
results in the Homeopathic and AllGopathic
hospitals in Vienna, a few years back.
