Excerpt from The American Homeopathist, 1891, Vol. 17: An Exponent of Medical Progress Law of Cure or that we continue to believe, despite the scientific craze sweeping over our land like a plague, that homoeopathy is sufficient to cure all curable cases? If the latter, then truly are we culpable, and glad to be so offending. The New York Medical Times, with the courage of its convictions, dares to be eclectic in the best sense of that much abused word; that is doubtlessly a sterling definition of being liberal. There is nothing to be liberal about in homoeopathy, any more than there is about the multiplication table, the law of gravitation, or any other fundamental law. The law of cure is or is not. If it is, what is it? It is a law of nature, hence, not amenable to the laws of man; and, hence, further, not to be modified or qualified. Where, then, is there scope for the editor to be liberal or illiberal? The american homceopathist professes to be a homoeopathic journal, zle.' a journal of homoeopathy. What kind of homoeopathy? There is but one kind, it is the gift of Hahnemann. The fountain cannot rise higher than its source. If we publish the best and truest of homoeopathic news as it is given usto see it, as we believe it is taught by Our First Great Teacher, does that constitute us illiberal? We suspect that the charge of illiberality means that we do not advocate alternation, exter nal and local applications, old-school treatment and medication, hypo dermic injecta, quinine, morphine, and ergot. Being homoeopathic, how could we? Therefore, we are not liberal. When we discover that our editorial mind takes on this liberal trend, then our place will be made vacant and not know us again, or we will take down the Homoeopathist, and substitute Liberalist.
