Excerpt from A Lecture, Introductory to the First Session of the Homeopathic Medical College of Missouri: Delivered at the College Hall, November 2, 1859
Your reasoning,' replied the fox, can have no weight, unless there had been a race or races between steamboats and asses dur the said three thousand years, and it had been decided that the ass always gained the race and was less fatigued. N 'ow, this trial of speed and strength must have been impossible before steam boats were invented.' Whilst the mail-carri'er of the old line was staggering under the weight of this argument, and that of his letters, another ass over took him, and having overheard the conversation, was enabled to bring timely aid to the confounded disputant.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an academic lecture written in 1859 arguing for the value of homeopathic medicine. The author, a homeopathic professor at the Homeopathic Medical College of Missouri, was one of the first homeopaths to practice in the United States. The lecture is a response to an address given by an allopathic medical professor at the same college, in which the allopathic doctor argued that homeopathy was an irrational practice that went against common sense. The homeopathic professor argues that homeopathy is based on the scientific method and has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of illnesses. He also argues that allopathic medicine, which is based on the opposite principle of using large doses of medicine to produce symptoms that are the opposite of the symptoms of the illness, is actually more dangerous and less effective than homeopathy. The lecture is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the early development of homeopathy in the United States, and it also offers a clear and concise explanation of the principles of homeopathy.
