Synopsis
Excerpt from The Thomsonian Manual: Or Advocate of the Principles Which Govern the Thomsonian System of Medical Practice
In speaking, as above, - Of the classes yet opposed to the Botanic symem, we purposely have omitted to - ineludethe death-dispensing disciples of Paracelsus-fi-sthe race Of mercury dealers. That they should be disposed to favor any thing reform or simplify the system of medical practice, is not to be expected by are acquainted with even the ordinary springs Of self-interest. It would be and humane, most certainly, if they would endeavor to promote reform - abut we may not suppose they will correct abuses who profit by their existence; and the selfishness Of the world is so general, that we can hardly expect the dogmatic herd of ordinary M. D.'e to pursue a course dissonant-to their real or apparent interest. Their Opposition, ridicule and misrepresentation we look for, then, as a matter of course and, expecting nothing less, we shall' be always in readiness to combat it, whenever it'has the temerity or thecourage to make a stand.
In order to hasten the adoption of the reformed system by the people generally, all that to us appears necessary, is, that the Thomsonian practitioners sh-o-uld exert themselves to accumulate and'imbody in a form suitable for publication in Thomsonian periodicals, such cases and facts as come within the compass Oftheir practice or their Observation, the tendency Of which would be to enlighten and convince the public; and that they, and the friends of the system and humanity generally, should then lend their aid-ih extending the circulation Of those facts'am'ong th This done, and we have not a doubt of the happy result; for, let and learned blockheads argue as they may, there is, among intelligence and discernment to judge correctly of testimony virtue enough to guard, and sustain, and properly to appreciate truth and honesty, when once they have been made manifest.
