body. They, of course, became expert in the evacuating art, which has been transmitted even to our day, but instead of curing anybody they rendered thousands and millions incurable by reason of the extreme exhaustion produced. Now allopaths pursue the same course today they did then, moved by the same material conceptions, save actual blood-letting; but they still employ leeches, blistering etc., which show that their conceptions are the same. But here is the worst of it: seven-tenths of so-called homeopaths are imitating them instead of Hahnemann, and with the same material conceptions. Do allopaths scour them out for constipation? So do the seven-tenths. Do allopaths administer an opiate for pain and to suppress vomiting and diarrhoea? So do the seventenths. Do allopaths prescribe quinine as the specific for intermittent fever? So do the seven-tenths. Do allopaths prescribe anti-toxin as the specific for diphtheria? So do the seven-tenths. Do allopaths usually prescribe more than one medicine at one time, and often recommend mineral waters, patent medicines, etc.? So do the seven-tenths. De allopaths contend that a diagnosis must first be made in order to successful treatment? So do the seven-tenths. But the list is too long. Suffice it to say that the reader can certainly see why the battle must be fought over again.

Old school and mongrel conceptions of disease and disease cause are just as material as in the days of bleeding. They have material mosquitoes and house-flies carrying material morbific matter to healthy people and striking them down with disease! And in many sections they have Sunday school children competing for prizes in the fly-catching business for the good of the human race! In a recent issue of one of their journals they announce with much glee and professional pomp the winner of the most valuable prize, stating that the little fellow caught more than one million flies, and commenting upon the incalculable good he had accomplished in the prevention of disease. But, strange to say, they did not explain how the little fly-catel er himself managed to escape so much deadly, material, morbific matter, unharmed!

But, whether microbes, mosquitoes, or house-flies, the idea is that some material substance enters the body and becomes the cause of disease. But more than one hundred years before their micrcbe discovery, the founder of homeopathy portrayed their theory of disease cause as a myth and wholly imaginary. They only fancy they can discover the

cause of disease. They have never discovered it and they never will; because, as the founder of homeopathy then told them, the greater number of diseases have a dynamic (spiritual) origin, and a dynamic (spiritual) nature, and hence discase cause is not perceptible to the senses and not discoverable; and cannot be removed except by dynamic means. Now please name the allopath or mongrel who believes that, or the real homeopath who does not believe it. All materialists (which includes seven-tenths of so-called homeopaths), regard disease as a material thing separte from the living organism and the vital force which animates it, while the Hahnemannian believes disease to be a derangement of the vital force, resulting from unknown morbific influences of a dyamic (spiritual) nature, and that abnormal sensations and functions, and organic lesions, are but results.

REMEDIAL AGENTS

It follows as a natural sequence, that said materialists demand material medicines with which to combat what they imagine is a material humor in the blood; while the Hahnemannian as stoutly demands dynamic medicines which act in a spirit-like manner, with which he may restore the always dynamically deranged vital force, by dynamic means. This explains why the so-called homeopath wants color, nasty taste and the material elements in the medicines he employs. He needs conversion. He does not understand homeopathy. And right here is found the most glaring departure from the system, and the strongest reason why the battle must be fought over again: BOLD, RANK, ALLOPATHIC MATERIALISM. The average would-be homeopath has cverlooked and utterly failed to grasp the spiritual nature of life; the spiritual nature of diseases; the spiritual nature and power of the exciting causes of diseases, and the spiritual nature of all medicinal substances; and many of them have degraded themselves and degraded homeopathy, by joining allopathic scavenger-doctors in an enthusiastic campaign against microbes which never caused disease-no disease, and in an effort to prevent the entrance into the interior of the body of material, morbific matter, which never existed.

With such materialistic views respecting the origin and nature of diseases, it is no wonder that the dean of a socalled homeopathic college should publicly announce that the time has come when allopaths and homeopaths should unite. Of course, he meant his kind of homeopath; and that is so.

They have no moral right to slander Hahnemann and fool the people by their brazen pretenses toward homeopathy. They should go to their own place; and they will as the battle is fought over again.

WHOLESALE PRESCRIBING

Nothing is mcre common than fixed method of treatment beforehand for certain cut and dried symptoms divided into groups and known by arbitrary names, concerning which no two writers on pathology agree, and said treatment is administered with a professional air of medical wisdom and a pretense to "rational medicine." Bogus homeopaths are just as deep in this kind of mud as allopaths are in the same kind of mire. They cannot cure homeopathically such disorders as chills, diphtheria, sycotic gonorrhoea, syphilis, etc., and hence, they proceed to suppress them just as allopaths do and by the same methods; all because they have no conception of the dynamic (spiritual) phase of homeopathy, and do not know how to practice the system as taught and practiced by its founder. And then such patients will tell their friends they were treated by a "homeopath!"

No

If there is any one feature of homeopathy more than another, which can be styled the keystone of the system; if, among the charms, beauties and fascinations of homeopathy, there is one central rose, one alluring feature, one satisfying advantage, it is individualization. Each individual patient must be treated according to the individual symptoms. medicine or compound of medicines can ever become the specific for any disease per se; but any given medicine is the specific for any individual sickness, when expressed by a group of symptoms-a symptom image-similar to that which the medicine itself is capable of producing in the healthy human organism. Just as often as this, its own image, is found in an individual case of sickness, it is the specific for that particular case, and only then. Sc specifics are individual, never general. This therapeutic law is consonant with nature, and its faithful application never fails to cure any curable case if the remedy is administered in the right potency. But to see a bogus homeopath going around with his little squirt-gun, shooting in anti-toxin for diphtheria, just because it is diphtheria, ignoring in true allopathic style the individual, distinguishing symptoms, is enough to make the real homeopath hang his head for very shame! and exclaim with emphasis, The battle must be fought over again!

Since the pioneers fell in battle, there has been a constant and growing tendency to just float along as doctors— just doctors, only claiming the glory of homeopathy when they thought it policy; and new families move into your town and mine, stating that they have always had a homeopath— wouldn't have any other kind, but in very few words unconsciously reveal the fact that they have only had these miserable mongrels and abominable pretenders, and had never been taught the first principles of homeopathy.

Now there is but one remedy for all these evils: Let every loyal practitioner, every man and woman who has pure homeopathy at heart, step to the front and take their places in the front rank, resolved as practitioners to never diverge from Hahnemannian principles and to contend by word and pen for homeopathy as outlined in such lucid and concise language in the Organon of Medicine; and as patrons, to only employ the true and tried, either as physicians or ccllege teachers. The laity must be taught until they can no longer be imposed upon by physicians or colleges. This may be accomplished: (1) By private conversation and handing out of suitable literature. (2) Public lectures. (3) A series of homeopathic cards published in the leading dailies, headed with a cut of Hahnemann; and under the cut these words: "Samuel Halinemann, the founder of homeopathy and the greatest physician the world has ever known." The writer has employed all these methods and knows by experience that they are practical. One earnest soul can thus teach thousands the pure doctrines of homeopathy and pave the way for those who must follow in the good work. Of course, in every community there are some who will not learn. You would just as well try to teach cattle. But on the other hand there are always others who will appreciate the opportunity, and these are the most desirable element. Each month my homeopathic card series appears in our two leading dailies, reaching 15.000 subscribers and over 50,000 readers. Hahnemann's picture always heads each card; and the subject matter is homeopathy-what it is, what it can do, what it has done. Allopathic quacks tell what they can do as individuals. These cards tell what homeopathy can do. Anybody can de just what Hahnemann did, if he will but follow Hahnemann. Allopaths do not know what to make of the proposition. They have mustered up courage to attack it but once in nearly six years; and whether my answer to that effort will last them another six years, remains to be seen.

Two physicians, one in Illinois and one in Texas, have paid me the high compliment of publishing these cards in their own city dailies, with Hahnemann's cut at the top; and I would be only too glad to have a hundred or more doing the same. They can have my copy each month free of charge and alter the same as they wish, if not credited to me.

Of course, any one engaging in this education work must see to it that his teaching and practice agree. He has a perfect right, every mcral and legal right, to employ the methods which I have suggested and which I am now employing and expect to continue. The founder and pioneers employed these methods of educating the people and the sooner genuine homeopaths arouse from their lethargy and by these methods make themselves felt in their respective communities, the socner will the public mind be disabused and homeopathy will grow and flourish and conquer as never before. I take the time to answer many private letters respecting homeopathy, and am always glad to know that there is one more who wants to be a Hahnemannian, for I have a fraternal fellowship and a hearty hand-shake for the real homeopath; but as to the half-breed, his pretensions are repugnant and his hand feels clammy.
