Excerpt from The Truth About Homoeopathy Misrepresentations of Dr. W. W. Browning in relation to Homoeopathy and Homoeopathic physicians. The devil's advocate is a queer old legal phrase for a man who detects and exposes the minutest flaw or fail ing of his opponent, ignores or conceals every good point he may find in him, misrepresents his conduct, misinterprets his motives, and misconstrues everything capable of misconstruction. Partisan editors, lawyers, doctors and theologians frequently play the role of devil's advocate. Dr. Browning is a brilliant speci men of the species. From his estimate of Hahnemann, the founder of Homoeopathy, one can safely foretell what kind of an exposition an Allopathic writer is going to give him of the Homoeopathic system, whether prejudiced and false, or enlightened and liberal. Dr. Browning says little or nothing of Hahnemann but that he was an unsuccessful physician, extravagant in his statements, absorbed in his theories, nomadic in his habits, who died at an advanced age, universally condemned and ridiculed, having acquired neither fame nor fortune. He would leave his reader under the impression that Hahnemann was an obscure, unscientific pretender, destitute of char acter and ability.
