bilities are that you would have los,
all of 20 per cent. The statistics
gathered from five cities, namely,
New York, Bo ,ton, Philadelphia,
Newark and Brooklyn. From these
it appears that 4,7oI allopathic
physicians reported 72,8I2 deaths,
while $40 homeopathic physicians
reported 8,II6 deaths. The aver
age allopathic lost II patients and
the average homeopathic lost only
10. Had all the So,9I8 cases been
treated homoepathically, $4,000
lives might have been saved to their
families and TO the world. Still
more in the six orphan asylums of
New York under al!opathic treat
ment for II years, the deaths were
In al, In the orphans asylums
under homeopathic treatment dur
ing the same period were I in I46,
showing that homeopathic treat
ment was more than three times
more successful than allopatkic
treatment. Still more in pneumo.
MIA, the homeopathic losses 5 7 per
cent; the allopathic losses as per
ceut. Pleurisy-the Homeopathic
losses were 3 per cent, the allo-
pathlc losses Is per cent.
During the cpl emic of cholera in
1913 and 40, the homeopathic
physician; lost only IS per cent,
while the aIlopathic physician, lost
50 per cent.
The enormous difference in the
mortality under homeopathic and
under the Allopathic treatment
shows the great superiority of HON.
oeopathy. The opponents Of HON.
oeopathy are never tired of repeat
ing that Homeopathic treatment
is absolutely inert and that it is
precisely the same as leaving the
cases to nature without any treat
ment whatever.
But this view of the case would
be still more unhattering for the
old school. For them it would ap.
pear from the above figures that by
the interference of the allopathic
practicism four times as many cases
died as would under no treatment
at all.
1t seems to hurt the doctor very
much to have a Homoepath or one
OF that sect" to crlticise the treat
ment of the Regular" or "Scien-
tihc practitioner"
Let us see who are the regulars,
them or we.
A few years since a certain gen.
tleman stated case and wrote to
twenty physicians; ten Allopaths
and ten Homoepaths enclosing two
dollars in each letter; requesting
them to prescribe. These physi-
clans were the leading physicians
and professors in the Medical Col
leges of the country. Nine of the
Allopaths reported and nov two of
their prescriptions were alike. All
of the Homoepaths answered and
all OF them prescribed the same
remedy. This is an absolute fact.
Science is founded on knowledge
or laws that are imnutable. How
is 1t with the old school practice
remedies thot are announced as
specifics or Cure.alls this year are
discarded the next, and so on.
How different it is from the HON.
oepathic pratice. The law "Semlla
Slmeletous Curontus" dlscovere d
by Samuel Hahnemann although it
had been intimated on corjectured
by Hippocrates and Stoerch and
others and abandoned by them.
However, it remained for Hahne-
mann to demonstrate its truth. 1t
is as immutable as the law of graita-
ton.
The remedies that Hahnemann
prescribed for cholera about hun
dred years ago are the most sue
cessful remedies today to combat
that disease.
We will let Mr.. J. S. Squire tell
III his own words how we'll he was
treated at the Medico Chirurgical
hospital by giving extracts from
his letters Of different dates.
