Excerpt from The Stepping-Stone to Homoeopathy and Health Domestic homoeopathy.-the profession of medicine cannot in this age of progress be treated as a mystery. The aim of the enlightened physician is to make its principles as extensively known as possible, conscious that thereby the greatest amount of good will accrue both to the profession and the public. Still, the objec tion is often urged that domestic Homoeopathy trenches on the legitimate sphere of the profession, and is dangerous in its tendency. Neither objection is valid. Drugs are, and we believe ever will be, employed in nearly every household - antibilious pills, Epsom salts, rhubarb, sulphur, magnesia, quinine, etc. \ve are not, therefore, the originators of domestic treatment; we have rather sought to reform it, by substituting remedies and measures which are not only far less harmful but very much more efficacious than those ordinarily adopted. Failure in health, of a simple and uncompli cated nature, may often be arrested at the outset by carrying out the instructions contained in the following pages, while if neglected till the symptoms assume forms which seem to justify the consultation of a medical man, it may become converted into serious and even fatal disease.
