Homeopathy in Medicine and Surgery

From the Book

These were the lectures that Garth Boericke gave to the students at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia.

"The author's aim was to avowedly always exemplify the practical - the clinical side of medicine.

Leaving the theoretical and didactic side to others, he felt that his work, name, and fame were gained at the sick bedside...we can learn the theory, materia medica, and pathology from books and colleges.

The clinic gives us diagnosis, surgery, and familiarity with the disease and its course. It should also give us the practical knowledge of therapy. Does it? Candor would compel most of us to reply, No.

To fill this gap is the purpose of this book."

The author's aim was to avowedly always exemplify the practical - the clinical side of medicine.

"Leaving the theoretical and didactic side to others, he felt that his work, name and fame were gained at the sick bedside… we can learn the theory, materia medica and pathology from books and colleges."

"The clinic gives us diagnosis, surgery and familiarity with the disease and its course. It should also give us the practical knowledge of therapy. Does it? Candor would compel most of us to reply, No. To fill this gap is the purpose of this book."

Julian Winston writes:
Edmund Carleton was one of the second generation of homeopaths in the USA. He knew Wells, Biegler, Bayard and Swan. He was one of the staunch Hahnemannians of the IHA. This book is a narrative of his clinical experiences and contains gems on almost every page.
Where else would you find the Lac caninum was made from the milk of Mrs. Bayard's spaniel whose "affection for the human race was unusually strong"? This book is, in the words of Chris Ellithorp, "another neglected gem."
