Guest guest Posted April 1, 2000 Report Share Posted April 1, 2000 From Hedley thought for today... Probably in no field of investigation is there so much proness to loose observation, and exaggerated statements as in that of medicine. The study is made complex by the fact of two forces there always operating in connection- the direct force of the agents, and the responsive actions of the life power... The physician is in continuous temptation either to attrribute all action to the agent, and thus throw out the important part enacted by the life power, or else, noticing the wonderful influences and works of this power, to connect all the results with it and allow nothing whatsoever to the agents. Either method is an error. from Cook's, The Physio-medical Dispenatory pub 1869 with thanks to Bergner quoted rom Medical Herbalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
