Hitherto there had been something furtive, almost secret, about homoeopathic publishing. Dr. Ruddock had been compelled to keep his publishing department in his own basement. That this furtiveness seared Clarke's soul is without question. Clarke was in touch with the centre of the science, he was instrumental in carrying it into Brazil, his works were translated into Spanish and German. To claim Dr. John Clarke as a master is no hyperhole.
Medical men make their mark almost always by their personal skill.
For the science of which it treats it is simply invaluable. Clarke many times spoke to me of the lack of homoeopathic doctors. He directed his mind towards helping the layman and kept the columns of The World always open to him. People from all parts of the universe wrote to him for help and guidance. When I handed him a bundle of letters I used to call him the Universal Provider.
