Excerpt from The Past, Present and Future Treatment of Homeopathy, Eclecticism, and Kindred Delusions Which May Hereafter Arise in the Medical Profession, as Viewed From the Standpoints of the History of Medicine and of Personal Experience
The following address was delivered by invitation before the Rhode Island Medical Society last June. I deem the subject matter to be of some importance and worthy of dis cassion by the profession at large.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of medical practice, contending that current alternative medical practices such as homeopathy are a knee-jerk reaction to the absurd and outdated medical practices of the author's fathers and grandfathers. The author presents a historical perspective to argue that the pendulum of medical practice swings from one extreme to another, citing excessive bloodletting and mercury use in the past. The author provides a fascinating and thought-provoking examination of the history and evolution of medical practice, calling for tolerance and open-mindedness in the medical profession to avoid repeating past mistakes.
