Excerpt from A Letter to Professor J. Y. Simpson, President of the Royal College of Physicians, &C: C, &C, Concerning the Resolutions Recently Passed by That Body in Reference to the Therapeutic Practice, Commonly Called Homoeopathy Much more important and comprehensive, however, is that branch of the healing art which draws its practice from a right interpretation and use of the physiological laws. It needs not at this time to be recalled to any one, that a power or energy unlike every other that is known, and which we term the vital force, presides over the entire functions of the organic structure, and gives harmony to the action of each individual part. N ow, liebig has thundered against Homoeopathy. It is the fault of Genius to seek to extend unduly the authority of its favourite conceptions and spheres of Inquiry. The fault is a mere speck in magnitude; but liebig has not escaped it. There is only a faint relationship, and certainly no collision, between the objects of his Investigations and the aims of Homopathy rightly understood.
