DR.. J. r. Homer, Secretary of the State
Society. in a conversation with DISPATCH
reporter last night, stated that every effort
had been made to make this meeting one OF
The most interesting ever held. He said
there are now about 35 States organized,
and the membership amounts to almost
5000. There are Is homeopathic medical
colleges, of which the Hahnemann College,
of Philadelphia, is the Oldest, having been
opened in 1S4S. Many of the members of
the faculty of this college will be present at
the coming meeting.
1t is claimed by homeopathists that they
are more largely patronized by the intelli-
gent and cultured class of society than any
other school DR.. Homer was asked If he
thought that such was the case. He
said it was fact, and the ex-
PLANTATION was that an ignorant or
unthinking person demanded to have
something tangible, something big and
strong, that he could see and smell and
taste when he was sick, while person of
intelligence and of trained ideas could
readily understand and appreciate the fact
that all those things were not necessary,
and that a cure could be effected by less
violent and drastic measures
