Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Philosophy in Homoeopathy: Addressed to the Medical Profession and to the General Reader
In this first paper I shall suggest what I think might prove a means toward the establishment of the relation between patient and physician - the State and the Medical Profession - upon a basis more rational than commonly obtains.
In a rational basis for this relation, or for anything else, there must be that which appeals to the reason. A medical man is (or should be), because of his education and experience, better able than his patient to apply principles in medical practice, and to judge of evidence in medical questions; but education, experience and evidence are not reason, and as to the reasonableness of theories upon which practice is based the patient may be as competent to judge as is his physician.
