I propose to criticise these methods of cure and to set their failings and weak points, (which they have in common with all that is human), in the proper light; but only so far as this is necessary for the public good and for a clear understanding of my explanations. Every one is free to accept and follow what he holds to be best. But for a right understanding of my theory, it is needful to know in what particulars it agrees with the systems heretofore fol- lowed and where it differs from them, so that we may deter- mine wherein its originality lies and what is its absolute or relative value. With Allopathy, the new art of healing without drugs or operations has but one point in common—that the sub- ject of both is the human body. For the rest, their aims and means are diametrically opposed. In fact, I consider the whole scheme of poisoning patients by medicine, latterly so decidedly on the increase, as one, if not the chief cause that thoroughly healthy persons are now hardly to be found, and that chronic diseases are multiplying with fearful rap- idity. The proper and timely intervention of the new art of healing will render surgery almost wholly superfluous. Homeopathy I welcome as a brave ally in the crusade against the fatal faith in medicines. With its minute doses wherein the chemist is unable to discover a trace of the drug; and the stress which it lays on the choice of a proper diet, it forms a transition, a stepping-stone, to the new art of healing. With reference to diet, however, it formulates no fixed, clear principles, and my experience proves even its minute doses of medicine to be not alto- gether harmless. The Natural Method as hitherto applied, which far excels the other systems, is the foundation of the new art of healing without drugs or operations. I have found it
