Introduction

     To My Colleagues,
Young and Old:

     I desire in this form to put on record things
new and old in the practice of medicine, as I have found them, in a professional career of
over thirty years.

     In my younger days I found great pleasure and
profit in reading the writings of Hering, Dunham, Wells, Lippe and others, who have row ceased
from their labors and gone to their well-earned rest.

     I have carefully tested their teachings, and
now that my own hair begins to grow frosty, I desire to leave some testimonial to the truth of
those teachings. My aim is not to write a complete Materia Medica, nor yet an exclusive work
on practice, though it may partake of the character of both, but rather facts and observations
in practice and principles, which I have abundant reasons for believing true and reliable.

     While I may not hope always to instruct those
of my professional brethren who are contemporaries and abreast with me in professional
attainments and experience, I do hope not to tire, but rather to entertain them, at least, a
part of the time; and still more do I hope to be a real help to the beginner, even as I myself
was helped.

     I do not propose to adopt the usual way by
beginning with Aconite and ending with Zincum, but to follow the bent of my inclinations, or, as it is
sometimes expressed, the movings of the spirit; and may I not here invoke the aid of the
spirits of the immortal Hahnemann, Boenninghausen and the galaxy of bright names that adorn
the fair page of the history of Homceopathy to help me.

     Finally, I desire in every chapter to write
something useful to somebody, and if in any part of this work I should give expression to
anything wrong I here declare once for all my entire willingness to be forgiven.
