The Allopathic mode—that which treats diseases by creating another disease—he says, “cannot cure in any case; having no analogy, or opposing force to the symptoms of the disease, it can never reach the parts affected: it may suspend the symptoms for a time by heterogeneous suffering, but it cannot destroy them.” “Antipathic treatment is merely palliative. When the action produced by the remedy employed, and which may seem to effect a neutralization of the symptoms, or even a cure, ceases, the reverse process immediately takes place—not only shall the primitive malady return, but come it will with aggravated symptoms, and in proportion to the doses administered.” “The Homœopathic is the only one which experience proves to be always salutary. The pure and specific effects of the remedies employed being perfectly analogous to the natural symptoms, they go right to the parts affected; and as two similar diseases cannot exist at the same time in the same system, the natural symptoms give way, provided the artificial ones slightly surpass them in intensity.” The allopathic mode, he claims, is the mode of treating disease in common vogue, and his followers call physicians generally by the name of allopaths. Now we have no objection to the name which they assume to themselves, but we do object to their giving inappropriate names to their neighbors. The title of Allopath, thus impudently bestowed upon us by Homœopathists, is not a correct title. The treatment of disease by physicians of the old school, as they are termed, is not characterized by any predominance of the allopathic principle. They do not ordinarily attempt to cure a disease by creating another. They do sometimes indeed make use of this principle. As good an example of it as can be given is to be found in the application of a blister to relieve internal inflammation. Here a new disease is produced, upon a part which is able to bear it without injury, in order to cure the disease in the internal organ. And no fact is better established, as my readers will all allow, than that disease is sometimes thus cured, although Hahneman says “_Allopathic_ treatment cannot cure in any case.” What Hahneman terms the antipathic mode is much used by physicians. I mention as an example the treatment of spasmodic colic by opium. This antipathic remedy in almost all cases cures this malady, though Hahneman says the “antipathic treatment is merely palliative” and never cures.
