Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Valedictory Lecture: Delivered Before the Students in the Eclectic Medical College of Pennsylvania, December 14th, 1855
In case the adherent to either of these so called laws of cure, wishes to verify its truth, he may take his dominant idea, using it as an hypothesis, as if it were the veritable law of cure, and go out to question nature through all her works of animal organization. If the response is contradictory to his hypothesis - is sometimes for, sometimes against, all other modifying conditions being the same his so called law is worthless and false, a blind leader of the blind, guiding on to regions of intellectual darkness the honest seeker for nature's truth. If, on the contrary, her response is conformatory with the hypothesis, then it becomes an unchanging law Of nature, by which she may be interpreted through all her secret chambers.
