The vertigo comes on moving eyes, and on lying on the right side. This vertigo is sometimes associated with liver disease. A stout, full-blooded jaundiced man about forty had suffered much from pain in the liver, with great soreness, was comfortable only when lying on left side; when he turned on his back or right side an anxious vertigo would come at once and he would break out in copious sweat, and be forced back to the left side. Muriatic acid high made a complete cure of this liver trouble, which had been pronounced serious.

NOTE.-Original publication in The Critique.

It is very true that when the homeopathic (?) hosts assemble in convention form, with their store clothes on and the smile that won't come off, they are filled with that fine enthusiasm and ambition for homeopathy in all such cases made and provided. They vote with a vim and hurrah for that which within forty-eight hours of their return home they have forgotten, or never intended to practice because not believed in. Not true? Well, try it on some time. Question, privately, some one of these high priests of purity, high potency, single dose and the Unabridged Repertory as to his very only own method of treating a given condition, and then note with bated breath what the Delphian oracle gives forth! Speak to twenty on the same subject and note the absolute unanimity in that no two of them recommend the same remedy-although lycopodium Chapman established some years ago that if the classical symptoms of a remedy were given to a hundred homeopaths each thereof would select the same remedy. Mirabile dictu!-American Physician.

The chief medical officer of the Moscow Military Hospital yrites to the Novoe Vremya, saying that the said hospital is about to complete the second century of its existence. It was the first government hospital in Russia, besides which it was the first and for a long time remained the only medical school in Russia. It was founded in the time of Peter the Great, and was formally opened on December 4, 1707. Its history is at present being written. The object of the letter is to appeal to all who may have documents or information of use to the compilers of the history to communicate them for the purpose stated.-Medical Age.

HOMEO-PATHY VS. ANTI-PATHY.

IV. CURATIVE TREATMENT OR PALLIATIVE TREATMENT.

By Guernsey P. Waring, M. D., H. M., Evanston, Illinois. This crusade to rescue from the enemy and preserve and promote Homeopathy, as previously announced, has adopted, and will continue to follow two methods.

First: The exposure by publicity of the shams, duplicity and frauds perpetrated in the name of homeopathy.

Second: The education of the laity, as well as the conscientious doctor, regarding the principles and practice of the Hahnemannian art, so that the true Homeopath can easily be distinguished from the fraudulent mixer who now claims to represent Homeopathy.

In the December issue the entire space was used for an exhibit giving "publicity to the sham."" in Cook County Hospital, Chicago, and will be concluded in the February number.

This installment will be devoted to the educational work, and should not only be read, but studied carefully by every reader earnestly desiring the truth-by the laity as well as the physician.

Technical and professional terms have been purposely avoided, with the view of adapting the teaching to the practical good of the patient, who must know what Homeopathy is before he will demand curative and reject palliative treatment.

Reprints of this, and previous installments, can be had upon request.

Prejudice, the stonewall barricade behind which so many remain, in the shadow of ignorance or impenetrable darkness, must be set aside if the truth of Homeopathy is to be seen and embraced. Truth should, and will be accepted from any source by every conscientious searcher after knowledge.

Following the exhibition of the so-called homeopathic practice in an institution of the character of Cook County Hospital, all interested readers will no doubt agree that a comparison with good homeopathic prescribing, showing why it is different, and why it produces different results, can be given with profit at this time. This will be attempted by the use of parallel columns,

one of which will be headed curative treatment and give the symptoms of the patient, upon which all Homeopathic prescriptions must be based; and the other column, headed Palliative Treatment, will give the common pathological symptoms belonging to the disease per se, useful principally for diagnosis, and upon which the anti-pathic or palliative treatment is based.

Want of space forbids the use of more than a few characteristic symptoms of the patient outlining the curative treatment. All prescriptions given for "curative treatment" are attenuated medicines-Homeopathically prepared-not crude drugs.

The curative treatment at once checks the progress of the disease and reverses the order so that the above case becomes normal first on the right side, finally disappearing on the left side where the inflammation began.

If this process of inflammation had commenced on the right side and extended to the left, without thirst, Lachesis would not have cured-but Lycopodium, or some other remedy, would have been indicated.

In the palliative treatment the progress continues; the case clears up first on the left side-where it began, and finishes on
