Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Homoeopathic Medical Society of the State of New York, Vol. 34: For the Year 1899
Judging them from their actions and their public utterances, I for one cannot see any change of heart, so far as the rank and file are concerned, from fifty years ago. I wish to except from this charge of medical bigotry quite a number of the leaders or more representative men of their school, but I firmly believe what is here said honestly applies to the large mass of our old school brethren. To be sure the hostility is not as open and bitter as formerly; but may not that be accounted for by a wholesome respect for our strength and power? I can see no Signs of their voluntarily consulting with us in medical matters affecting either the public or the profession, and in regard to public positions and offices I believe it to be their policy to ignore the rights of our school, to claim and strive to secure all such positions for themselves, only yielding what they are compelled to do. If this is so does it represent the brotherly love and harmony that should exist between two branches of a learned profession?
The statement that is so generally made that the two schools of medicine are every day coming nearer together I do not believe to be true. I will admit that on the surface this may apparently be so, but with the exception of the acts of a few I can find no evidence pointing in this direction, while on the contrary the evidence seems to point to the same spirit of antagonism as ever existing beneath the surface.
