| In the sixth edition Phos. is introduced il

are named As his authority for the remedial
powers of different drugs.
1t is to be hoped that future edition of
this (to DIR. Dessau at least) indispensable
work, will contain more acknowledgements
of information obtained at the expense of
homGopathists, and that it will meet with
the same rapid sale. and appreciative recep-
! tion at the hands of our old school brethren
accorded by them to its predecessors" and
thus could we continue to draw from old
school writer's evidence upon evidence of
their using medicines in accordance with our
law, but this much must suffice. Never
since the first publication of IIahnemann
which think was in 1916, to the present
time, has our cause good standing as to-
day. Old school physicians are using our
| remedies in accordance with our law, either
openly or covertly, 'and they are using and
recommending Geletnc coated pills and
parvules, which may be had at anv respecta-
bic drug store, guaranteed to be of uniform
strength. such As ll00 of grain of arsenic
and the same of Tartar emctic, Leo of
grain of strychnia," and the evidence is pre-
ponderable and irresistible of the tendency
to Homeopathy. The demand is for hompo-
pathic physicians. OF Homeopathic colleges
IN the United States, there is one at Phla-
delphia, the Oldest in the country, one at St.
Louis. two in Chicago. one in Cleveland
Ohio, department of Homeopathy in the
state Medical College, at Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, and one at New York and Boston Uni
vcrsity, in Boston, all well patronized,
graduating annually about 400 students and
these colleges are all yeng with each other
in their efforts to send out faithful and able
opponents Of our law and each year hccom-
ing more and more eXacting, so that at Ann
Arbor three years of study and nine months
each year of attendance upon lectures are re-
qnired, and Boston University requires s
months each year for three years, with an
optional course of four years, and these so
far as am aware, require longer attendance
upon lectures than any other Medical institu-
tons in the United States, and in all of them
there is Il growing tendency to have their
students throughly equipped for the impor-
tant and responsible office ofphysician The
Indications are indeed auspicious.
Have we not my brethren, reason to sound
the praises of our great guiding star in Medi-
cal Science. and with an abiding, ever in
creaslng devotion, labor for the promotion of
this great boon to mankind, with an unwa-
tuJ in ~ t,lt r,,
ing universally acknowledged as the law of
all laws in medicine. On this point my
brethren, we can all agree, high potency
and low potency. And these intimations of
the final triumph of homeopathy should not
he considered visionary by any means when
we notice the wonderful progress made.
Within the memory of some in this hall.
there was not an exponent ntofhompopathy in the
United States. Aye, it is only about egh-
ty-tivc years since lIahncmann first promu-
gated the glorious doctrine, by which out of
chaos CAME order, out of death came life,
and now behold the work that has been
wrought. In every important city and town
in the United States may be found the faith
tul exponent of our cause, holding Il place in
the confidence of the people, second to none
The walls of partition between us and the
old school are being broken down. not bv
