 Honueopathy both in the nu.tr(,polis and in the country 
 aistriels throuo-hent (ireat JJritain, and ab.o in some other 
 countries T<, the.e statements I beg to direct your careful 
 attention). 
 
 The denunul for practitioners, versed in the svsteni of 
 ron,aH,pathy, is far ..vator than the supplv. Thi; is a real 
 iiardsh.p to tlH,s(> who, being convinced tluit this system of 
 |'u>d,c,ne is the most scicntitic and practical, can only obtain 
 the assistance they recp.ire in ilhu^ss by sending a consider- 
 able distance to some large town for a phvsieian, or who 
 huy.to trust to lay help, since no physician. haWng knowledge 
 ot the system in which they alone believe, is to be foui^ 
 witiim a reasonable distance. 
 
 To meet these diffic-ulties I would suggest one of the fol- 
 lowing alternatives ;— 
 
 Firstly-To legitimize a School specially devoted to 
 mstiuction in Honia-oijathy.

 recorded above deserve recognition. 
 
 In any new Medical Act we submit tlint tbe claims of both 
 % and n.ed,cal Jlon^a.paths cannot be ignored. As to b^ 
 oxac fonn of recognition I would venture to direc y . 
 attention to the following three schemes -^ ^ 
 
 
 '-^^mm_ 
 
8 
 
 The one: topormK theiiisdtutiunofucoinplotc^rodiculSchool 
 wifhiii wliicli the IM-ofossors and touchcrh of :M(Ylicine uiul 
 Surgery should bo men wlio proctiso Ilomaoputhy. This 
 Hellenic is adopted in the University of Boston, U.8. See 
 A]>pen<iix TV. 
 
 The second scheme would involve the ai)poititmcnt of 
 irom(ropa(hic k(!turers andteueherH in certain Medical Schools 
 or Colleges, in addition to those of the ordinary Allopathic 
 Schools. 
 
 The third would involve the opening of private Lectureships 
 to the whole profession, which Lectures should be recognised 
 as qualifying students to present themselves for examination, 
 before the central Board, equally with Lectn-es attended at the 
 recognised Schools. This schcmo has tno advantage of 
 allowing any qualified Physician or Surgeon to bring forward 
 j'uy particular thet)ry or practice of Medicine or Surgery 
 without let or hindrance, and as opening the gates of Science 
 to new discoveries, and doing away with monopolies, it would 
 tend much to the true development of Medicine and Surgery 
 as liberal sciences. 
 
 There is still one other alternative, i.e., that the fourth 
 year of study might bo devoted to the study of Medicine and 
 Surgery either at home or abroad, provided it were carried out 
 in some University, College, or School, recognised by th(> 
 State in which it is situated, or unde.- a Physician or Surgeon 
 fully qualified and holding office in a public institution in 
 v'hich the opportunities of clinical instruction are sufficiently 
 large. 
 
 It appears to me that the present presents a good oppor- 
 tunity for the International recognition, not only of the 
 Lectures and Practice at foreign and American Colleges and 
 Hospitals, but also a broader and more liberal International 
 recognition of all foreign and American degrees, where the 
 courses of study demanded are equivalent to those adopted in

 Provisions of this Act, and that uo such new Charter shall in 
 anywise prejudice, affect, or annul any of the existing Statutes 
 or Byelaws of the Corporations to which the same shall be

 to the Alterations which shall be intended to be effected by 
 such new Charters and by this Act in the Constitution of such 
 Corporation. 
 
 LVI. Nothing i'i the said Act contained shall prevent 
 any Person not a Jiritish Subject who shall have obtained 
 from any Foreign University a Degree or Diploma of Doctor 
 in Medicine, and who shall have passed the regular Exami- 
 nations entitling him to practise Medicine in his own 
 Country, from being and acting as the Resident l^hysician or 
 Medical Officer of any Hospital established exclusively for the 
 Relief of Foreigners in Sickness : l>rovidcd always, that such 
 Person is engaged in no Medical Practice except as such 
 Resident Physician or Medical Officer. 
 
 REMARKS. 
 
 It will bo seen that tlie above Clauses prevent any attempt 
 to coerce Physicians from adopting any particular Theory of 
 ]\redicine or Surgery. It is iUegal to induce a Candidate' for 
 admission into the profession to phxlge hiinself to practise in 
 any particular manner. It is also illegal for any of the 
 Colleges or licensing Bodies to strike off from the list of their 
 members the names of any who depart from the older 
 methods of Practice, and it may be thought that, practically, 
 
13

 in which not only is no instrnction in homoDopathy given hiit 
 tho Hul.jort is rarely, if .,vor. all.ulod to in tluMn, savo in u 
 distorted manner.. There was no intention on the part of the 
 promoters of this School, of setting up an institution giving a 
 coinplote medical educaticm, or of one having legal power to 
 grant a license to practise. Its object has solely been to 
 give instruction in the principles of homa^opathic thera- 
 peutics, ni the action and uses of Mafrria Maha,, and in the 
 application of homa-oi,athic therapeutics in the tivatment of 
 disease, to all who desire to , dd a knowledge thereof to the 
 mforniation requisite for obtaining diplomas from the 
 Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons and from the Universi 
 tics. The number of students who have regularly attended the 
 lectures at the School during these five years hLs been about 
 thirty. The number has indeed been small, but when the 
 difficulties which have had to be encountered in floating the 
 Institution are cmsidered, it is as large as one could well 
 expect during flu- first five years of its history. Stiuh-nfs 
 attending lectures^ at other hospitals, for thJ purpose of 
 obtannng qualifications to practise, and to admit them to the 
 Medical Register, have so considerable an amount of worh 
 imposed upon them, and the examinations are now so frequent' 
 comprehensive and searching, that they have htth if unv 
 time to devote to r.fru-araMca/ tuifio,,. Gentlemen wli'o 
 have obtained their diphmias, except in comparatively small 
 Humhers. at once endeavour to secure appointments, or o-o 
 -to practise, and hence have no opportunity for further • 
 « udy A certain number, however, remain ia London to 
 attend the special hospitals for a winter session an 1 otherwise 
 improve themselves in the practice of their profession. Some 
 too, commence practise in London, and have necessarilv foi^ 
 several years a fair amount of time on their hands From

 "This instit,,tio„, commenced un-h. tho auspices of D,. 
 Nunez and the Hahnemannian Society of Jladrid, in 187;) 
 was happily completed in February, Lsys, and opened fo,'- 
 pahents. It, completion was made the occasion fo.. ..-eat 
 rejoicing, and homoeopathic practitioners from all parts of 
 .lie country attended the inaugural banquet under the 
 p «dei,cy of Dr. N„„e.. A largo and influential proportion 
 at he aristocracy ot the capital also attended the ceremonv 
 and much enthusiasm was displayed on all sides " 
 
 "Dr. Nuie. had received royal permission and encourage- 
 men to pubhcly practise and teach homaiopathy in the wa^ds 
 of Ihc allopathic hospitals as early as 1850, but the opposition 
 was so great that the plan eonld not be carried out It I 
 remained therefore, to build an entirely homoiopathie ho.s. 
 ..tal, and. after langui-shing for many years, public snbscrip- 
 ons were received sufficient to carry out thil project. The 
 object was to found and endow a hospital for Jr patient, 
 containing about fifty Us. which not only Cvould an wlr 
 ritable purpose, but also would render the public teachl! 
 of the system practicable." ^

 ^ There was, however, an obligation still resting upon the 
 Parisian Ilomcoopaths— the creation of a regular and perma- 
 nent course of teaching. Each group having re-gained its 
 liberty of action. The Soeiete Medicak Ilonuvopathique de 
 France entrusted the study of the question to Dr. Gonnard 
 He brought forward some time afterwards his project, which 
 Foundation ^^'^s accepted with some modifications. It consisted in this • 
 Homa-opathic ^^'^ foundation in the centre of Paris, and consequently in a 
 Dispensary, place easily reached by the whole body of the medical 
 profession, of a free dispensary, which should furnish the 
 means necessary for daily and repeated consultations-

 allowed to assist at these consultations; theaddition tothis dis- 
 pensary of a hall reserved for public Lectures. Theplaceselected 
 IS at No. 31, Pue Coquilliere, quite near the Ilalles, in a 
 populous quarter, which will assure us a numerous clientele 
 close to the dispensary. The institution has taken the name 
 of Central Iloma^opathic Dispensary. The dispensary has 
 been in operation nearly a year. The Lectures have been 
 inaugurated this year. The choice of subject was left 
 entirely at the discretion of the speakers, and the allopathic 
 inquirers did not fail them. Practitioners and students 
 responded to our invitation, and one could count sonietunes 
 us many us thirty allopaths ; one hospital physician was 
 noted for the assiduity of his attendance.

 It was Dr. Goiinard who gave the inaugural address at the 
 opening of the Session. Jle took for his subject the law of 
 Hiniihirs and infinitesimal doses. The opening lecture was truly 
 remarkable and gained us more than one sympathiser ; for it 
 (lispolled more than one ambiguity. Hestricting the question 
 solely to truths furnished by experience and observation, he 
 sot forth homoeopathy purely as a therapeutic method, freeing 
 it from all the numerous metaphysical, political, social, and 
 religious conceits with which a number of its adepts are 
 phrased to weaken it. With a rare felicity of expression he 
 established that the identity of the pathogenetic and thera- 
 peutic phenomena of a medical substance was a fact readily 
 verifiable and consequently indisputable, and that by adopting 
 it one neither affirmed nor invalidated the numerous theories 
 that have agitated the medical world. It followed necessarily 
 that the action of infinitesimal doses was shown by the aid 
 of proofs furnished by our adversaries ; and that, statistics in 
 liand, the superiority of our treatment was demonstrated. 
 The recital of our contests with the academies, learned bodies, 
 and governments, furnished him by way of reprisal the 
 occasion of noble protestation in favour of scientific liberty, 
 and we can affirm without fear that among the seeds sown 
 by this excellent worker more than one will spring up and 
 bear fruit. 
 
 I lis lectures were delivered weeklj^, like those of Dr. 
 Jousset, who was the first in France to give a public 
 exposition of our Materia 3Iedica. Dr. Jousset's plan, at 
 once clear and simple, allowed his numerous hearers to con- 
 sider with a less troubled eye our innnense pathogenetic 
 catalogues. Given a medicine, Dr. Jousset set forth first 
 of all Avhat he called its allopathic picture, that is to say, he 
 ii'called the use our adversaries nuike of it. It resulted 
 therefrom that he was often able to convince his listeners of 
 the reality of the law of similars. Then, passing to the

 Dr. Fredanlt reviewed, in hi, course of lectures, the work 
 of Hahnemann, and strove to present the points at which it 
 approached and those at which it departed, from the ancient 
 
 HomS,";„,i •;"oputhy possesses in Franco three hospitals-two in 
 Hosp,..,,, Pa, rhe TOpitai S. Jacques and '■ , Ilipital Hahnemann 
 the third at Lyons, the Hopital S. Luc. These institutions' 
 eon a,mng between them about one hundred beds, are sun-' 
 ported by contributions from the adherents of homoeopathy 
 and ,ts praeftioners. The first two have but moderate 
 pecumary resources; the TOpital S. Luc is well endowcT 
 Limited as ,s thenumberof beds, wo havoin these an elemen; 
 of chn,cal teaching which is rather too much neglected The 
 physicians in charge are full of zeal ; and I need not vindicate 
 heir knowledge or the.r talent, their names being suffi "n 
 to warrant this. At S, Jacques, we find Drt Joult 
 Fredault, and Gonnard ; at the Hahnemann, we see Dr lX 
 Stmon. But that which one must attack and keenly censure 
 IS .he indifference di.,playcd by most of the Chef, ,/e Senice 
 with regard to the publication of their clinical records. There 
 1. a rule at the Hopital S. Jacques obliging them to print 
 their observations „i detail. For some time past this has not 
 been acted on; and Dr. Jou.,set is the only one who obeys 
 both the letter and the spirit of the regulation. Our rivals 
 rarely honour us with a visit; at times a practitioner from 
 the provinces comes, or a medical student desirous to see 
 a little^ of the working of homeopathy. They follow 
 up their visits for two or three weeks, and then the 
 one returns to the country, and the other, occupied 
 with the lectures of his curriculum, camiot continue his

 attendances is favourable ; and, if our visitors are not at once 
 converted to our doctrine, they at least learn to jud-.u us in 
 a loss unfriendly manner. It can well, therefore, be under- 
 stood how useful would be the publication of our cluUcal 
 crpemnce., which would tran.sfonn the fleeting evidence of 
 hospital treatment into permanent documents. We must 
 hope that the staft' of the IBpital S. Jacques will henceforth 
 learn to know bottei the mission eonflded to them, and to 
 obey more faithfully ,he regulation of tlie So,He M.Ucale
