The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-11-01

This article was prepared by DIR. J.
Arthur Bullard, of Wilkes-Barre, presi-
dent of the Homeopathic Medical So
ciety of Northeastern Pennsylvania
for the last meeting held in this city
last week, and is printed by request:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Six months ago you honOred me by
a reelection to the presidency of this
the Homeopathic Medical society of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
At this time We voted to hold the
meetings but twice year, and selected
June and October as the months most
likely to afford opportunity to conven-
iently come together, these months,
being as rule, a time when we are
much less busy with the duties of a
professional life.
And now. as we meet for the first
time under this semi-annual arrange
ment, let us gather together in the
bonds of good fellowship. If any have
grievances, fancied or real if any
Observation-Disclosures or disagreeable in
cidents have occurred to mar the har-
mony that should exist between each
and every member, since our last meet
Ing. let us today, forgive and forget
and start anew without friction feel
ing that we now meet with one mind
in an unselfish effort to advance the
cause of scientific medicine, truth and
humanity.
United, we are a power; united. our
progress will be grand contribution
10 the welfare and happiness of the
very large population we collectively
represent at this meeting. For unlike
our brothers of the dominant school!
We build up, without first tearing
down; and when Door suffering hu-
manity is shown this blessed truth,
made so plain by comparison, and when
they understand that the homeopathic
doctor is not obliged to make them
sicker in order TO cure them. they see
the point and very soon become our
champions.
AS TO THE "OLD SCHOOL"
While we ought not perhaps to ques-
tlon the honesty of this well named
''old school" as a body, we cannot
help wondering at their continued
blindness and bigotry as shown by
their stumbling along in the same old
cOw-paths of a medical ancestry which
Is as far behind the time as an ox-cart
Is when compared to the Black Dia-
mond Express.
They practice entirely on the stereo
typed plan, what cured Robinson, must
surely cure Jones, and If Jones don't
they are convinced that Jones was
10 gentleman. Routine and fashionable
methods are perennially introduced by
their leaders, and at once taken up by
The entire Allopathic profession, to be
used until some later fad or fancy
takes its place.
Truly they carve where we cure;
main and destroy with their vile drugs
where we build UP and restore with
the mild power that has been so truly
named, Natures Hand Maiden
They are constantly making drunk
ards drug inebrlates and suicides, by
their free, constant, and promiscuous
prescribing of stimulants, opiates, and
other poisons without limit, while we
ms a school, have little, or no use fol-
such devils own pharmacy; which ac.
counts in part, no doubt, for the much
smaller mortality following the prac,
tice OF the homeopathic doctrine.
