Excerpt from Introductory Lecture to the Class of the Homœopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania: Delivered October 11th, 1852
A departure from a state of health has ever prompted medical men to inquire into the causes and nature of such deviation. Thence arose the idea that disease was owing to a morbid agent having been introduced into the system, either through the stomach or lungs, and that some one or other of the humours of the body flowed in increased quantities to the affected parts in order to expel it. That as health was dependent upon an equilibrium of the humours of the body, an unusual quantity or local excess of any, either of bile, blood, or phlegm, occasioned morbid disturbance. This idea embraces the once famed doctrine of humoralism.
