Cure Of The Sick: Not Homeopathy, Not Allopathy, But Judgment (1860)

By John Spurgin

Book Overview

Cure Of The Sick: Not Homeopathy, Not Allopathy, But Judgment is a book written by John Spurgin and published in 1860. The book presents Spurgin's arguments against the two dominant medical practices of the time, homeopathy and allopathy, and proposes a third approach to medical treatment based on judgment. Spurgin argues that homeopathy, which involves using highly diluted substances to treat illnesses, is ineffective because it lacks a scientific basis and relies on anecdotal evidence. He also criticizes allopathy, which involves using drugs to counteract symptoms, for its focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of illness. Instead, Spurgin proposes that doctors should use their judgment to tailor treatments to individual patients based on their unique circumstances and symptoms. He argues that this approach will lead to more effective and personalized treatments that address the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. Overall, Cure Of The Sick: Not Homeopathy, Not Allopathy, But Judgment is a historical exploration of medical practices in the 19th century and offers an alternative perspective on medical treatment that emphasizes individualized care and judgment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
