A number of public trials of Homoeopathy have been made in different

parts of the world
A number of public trials of Homoeopathy have been made in different
parts of the world. Six of these are mentioned in the Manifesto of the
‘Homoeopathic Examiner.’ Now to suppose that any trial can absolutely
silence people, would be to forget the whole experience of the past.
Dr.
Haygarth and Dr. Alderson could not stop the sale of the five-guinea
Tractors, although they proved that they could work the same miracles
with pieces of wood and tobacco-pipe. It takes time for truth to operate
as well as Homoeopathic globules. Many persons thought the results of
these trials were decisive enough of the nullity of the treatment; those
who wish to see the kind of special pleading and evasion by which it is
attempted to cover results which, stated by the ‘Homoeopathic Examiner’
itself, look exceedingly like a miserable failure, may consult the
opening flourish of that Journal. I had not the intention to speak of
these public trials at all, having abundant other evidence on the point.
But I think it best, on the whole, to mention two of them in a few
words,–that instituted at Naples and that of Andral.

This Essay was read before a small Association called ‘The Society for
Medical Improvement,’ and published in a Medical Journal which lasted but
a single year. It naturally attracted less attention than it would have
done if published in such a periodical as the ‘American Journal of
Medical Sciences.’ Still it had its effect, as I have every reason to
believe. I cannot doubt that it has saved the lives of many young
mothers by calling attention to the existence and propagation of
‘Puerperal Fever as a Private Pestilence,’ and laying down rules for
taking the necessary precautions against it. The case has long been
decided in favor of the views I advocated, but, at the time when I wrote
two of the most celebrated professors of Obstetrics in this country
opposed my conclusions with all the weight of their experience and
position.

First, those persons who had been induced to purchase a pair of Tractors

First, those persons who had been induced to purchase a pair of Tractors.
These little bits of brass and iron, the intrinsic value of which might,
perhaps, amount to ninepence, were sold at five guineas a pair! A man
who has paid twenty-five dollars for his whistle is apt to blow it louder
and longer than other people. So it appeared that when the ‘Perkinean
Society’ applied to the possessors of Tractors in the metropolis to
concur in the establishment of a public institution for the use of these
instruments upon the poor, ‘it was found that only five out of above a
hundred objected to subscribe, on account of their want of confidence in
the efficacy of the practice; and these,’ the committee observes, ‘there
is reason to believe, never gave them a fair trial, probably never used
them in more than one case, and that perhaps a case in which the Tractors
had never been recommended as serviceable.’ ‘Purchasers of the
Tractors,’ said one of their ardent advocates, ‘would be among the last
to approve of them if they had reason to suppose themselves defrauded of
five guineas.’ He forgot poor Moses, with his ‘gross of green
spectacles, with silver rims and shagreen cases.’ ‘Dear mother,’ cried
the boy, ‘why won”t you listen to reason? I had them a dead bargain, or
I should not have bought them. The silver rims alone will sell for
double the money.’

The superstitions it attacks lie at the very foundation of

Homoeopathy, and of almost every form of medical charlatanism
The superstitions it attacks lie at the very foundation of
Homoeopathy, and of almost every form of medical charlatanism. Still the
mere routinists and unthinking artisans in most callings dislike whatever
shakes the dust out of their traditions, and it may be unreasonable to
expect that Medicine will always prove an exception to the rule. One
half the opposition which the numerical system of Louis has met with, as
applied to the results of treatment, has been owing to the fact that it
showed the movements of disease to be far more independent of the kind of
practice pursued than was agreeable to the pride of those whose
self-confidence it abated.
