homeopathic therapeutics He says
that biochemistry ~ not homeopathy
and that there isE wide difference be-

supplying discrepancies with the exact
material lacking. While we acknowl-'
edge that Hahneman's theory OF the
modus operand of disease and cure
may be deficient, or altogether wrong

not willing to allow that all brilliant
results obtained In homeopathic prac-
tice have been accidental and without
any law to guide the practitioner.
Drs. Leonard Higbee and Cole were
appointed committee on neurology.
DR.. Walker, of Hahneman college,
Chicago, was called upon. He said he
was highly pleased with all he had
heard, and particularly with the paper
falling away from the tendency to
make correct prescription. There
was nothing so hard for the practition-
er to give his attention to. His mind
was distracted by a multiplicity Of
specialties forced on his attention. The
school Of Hahneman was receiving
constant and merited distinction by
recognition in state boards and insti-
tutions. In Illinois, Gov. Tanner had
placed the management Of one of the
largest hospitals for the insane in
charge of a homeopathic physician,
and Minnesota homeopaths were doing
work and their career was watched
with great interest in the other
states.

idea that hysteria was due to uterine
difficulties was only partially true It's
pathology was unknown. Hysteria
was a disease of considerable genuine
ness. Such a patient looked out for

terra tos insanity was so close that we
often rans from one into the other.
