The Provocation And The Reply: Or Allopathy Versus Physio-Medicalism (1870)

By Alva Curtis

Book Overview

""The Provocation and the Reply: or Allopathy Versus Physio-Medicalism"" is a book written in 1870 by Alva Curtis. It is a comprehensive analysis of the two main schools of medicine at the time - Allopathy and Physio-Medicalism. The author provides a detailed comparison of the two approaches to medicine, including their history, principles, and methods of treatment. Curtis argues in favor of Physio-Medicalism, a holistic approach to medicine that focuses on natural remedies, healthy lifestyle choices, and prevention rather than just treating symptoms. He criticizes Allopathy for relying too heavily on drugs and surgery, which he believes can often do more harm than good. The book is divided into two parts - the first part discusses the principles and practices of Allopathy, while the second part focuses on Physio-Medicalism. The author provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the effectiveness of the Physio-Medicalist approach. Overall, ""The Provocation and the Reply"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the ongoing debate between traditional and alternative medicine. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine or seeking to understand the different approaches to healthcare.In A Review Of M. B.
