ADDRESS.
A CENTURY has passed away since the birth of the great
man, to whose genius the world is indebted for the reformation now going on in medical science; and whose centennial birth-day we have here met to commemorate. To
the event which signalizes this occasion, every philanthropist might turn with high hopes for suffering humanity;every sincere lover of the race will yet look back upon it,
with as much gratitude as the storm-tossed mariner beholds
the breaking up of the portentous clouds, and the calming
of the furious waves, that threatened his shattered and frail
bark with apparent, inevitable destruction.
"It well'becomes us who believe Hahnemann to have been
the medium of a great gift to man, - it is befitting this time,
and this occasion, to turn aside, for a season, from the cares
and anxieties of the professional life, in which we are daily
engaged, for the purpose of contemplating the magnitude
of the truth thus revealed to the world, - and the character
of him who was chosen for the trust; -the hope and confidence that'-cheered him on, in the severe trials through
which he was compelled to pass, and the humility with which
he, in his latter years, received the honors of a grateful
and appreciating world, and which were opening upon him
mo're fully when he closed his labors upon the earth.
The leading features of the life of Hahnemann are well
known to all of us, who accept the great truth the discovery
and application of which has rendered him so conspicuous
in the world's history. Yet it may not prove unprofitable
to pass in review the leading incidents of his life, that we,




4


perchance, may catch something of the spirit which animated
his labors, and go forth to our duties, with the renewed
purpose of imitating his unwearied toils, and his transcendent virtues.
In Meissen, a town on the River Elbe, in the north-eastern part of the Saxon Monarchy, one hundred years ago
to-day, - the 10th of April, 1755,-lHahnemann was born.
The father of this great man was a painter, employed in
ornamenting the porcelain ware in the celebrated manufactory at Meissen,- a situation affording means, barely sufficient, to meet the daily necessities of a dependent family.
The son, at an early age, exhibited signs of a vigorous
intellect, which the father sought, in various ways, to encourage. The following anecdote, for which we are indebted
to our learned colleague, Dr. Hering, shows the interest
the father took in the mental training of the son: After
the son became famous, it was often related by an old man,
a friend of Hahnemann's father, that on one occasion, when
walking with him out of town, the father looking at his
watch, said: "It is time for me to go home; my Samuel is
now waiting for the THINKING LESSON I give him."  This
occured when the son was but five years old. These THINKING LESSONS doubtless exercised a lasting influence on the
destiny of our great discoverer, and thus on the physical and
spiritual well-being of the world.
Though the father felt great solicitude in the mental
elevation of his son, he often discouraged him from looking forward to the attainment of any higher pursuit than
his own, in consequence of his pecuniary disability to aid
him; yet permitted him to act as mature reflection dictated.
Hahnemann says of his father, of whom he speaks with
great tenderness and respect, that he had the soundest
original ideas of what is good and worthy of man. His
leading principle was, that a man should act out that which
is in him, without dissimulation or parade. His life never
contradicted his exalted views of the Great Author of Cre



5


ation, - of the dignity of the human race, and, its heartelevating destiny. These ideas, which Hahuemann says
his father taught him, both by precept and example, he ever
tried to keep uppermost in all his acts.
The foundation of Hahnemann's future acquitements, was
laid at the public school in his native town. He tells us
that he was the favorite pupil of his instructor, who loved
him as his own child, and gave him every advantage in the
prosecution of 'his studies.
So rapid was his advancement in the study of the languages, at the age of twelve years, he was often employed
by his teacher to instruct other pupils of the school in the
rudiments of the Greek language. At the age of fifteen
years, he entered the High School, in which he continued,
with a few interruptions, till the age of twenty. Owing to
pecuniary inability, his father several times removed him
from the school; but subsequently yielded to the solicitation of the teacher, who proffered gratuitous instruction,
and the son continued his studies. Here a firm and broad
foundation must have been laid, for his future acquirements,
by his friend and teacher; for he became eminent, at an
early age, not only as a classical, but, also, as a scientific
scholar. His knowledge of the languages was extensive.
Besides his mother tongue, he had a thorough knowledge
of the Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Latin, French, English, Italian, and Spanish languages. In all of these he wrote, and
from some of them made extensive translations.
Having selected medicine for his profession, as offering
the largest field for the exercise of his love of use, he connected himself with the far-famed medical University at
Leipzig, in 1775, at the age of 20 years, whither he went
with just fifteen dollars in his pocket, as the maximum of
his financial resources. He tells us that this was the last
money he ever received of his father.
Here, he devoted himself to the cultivation of medical
science with unremitted diligence and zeal.  While his




6


days were consecrated to the study of his profession, at the
University, he was compelled, by his limited pecuniary resources, to trespass nightly on the " domain of tired nature." His dimly lighted chamber told the tale of nightly
vigils, through which he worked on to secure but an insufficient subsistence.
His extensive knowledge of the languages, not only
opened to him the medical lore of other countries, and
other ages, but by translating some of the most valuable of
this into his mother tongue, thus enriching the German
medical literature of his day, and by teaching, he obtained
the scanty pittance that enabled him to pursue, over the
rough paths of penury, the cherished object of his life. Thus,
for two years, he toiled on, cheered by the hope of one day
taking a stand by the side of the professional men of his
time, and of ministering to the wants of those bowed to
the earth by the crushing weight of disease.
From Leipzig he went to Vienna, with the purpose of
studying diseases, and their treatment, at-the bed-side, in
the Hospitals of that city. Here the same devotion, that
marked his pupilage at Leipzig, continued. His genius and
untiring industry so won the confidence and friendship of
Prof. Quarin, physician in ordinary to the Hospital of the
Merciful Brethren, that he took every pains to instruct
young Hahnemann, both in Hospital and private practicethe latter a privilege accorded to no other student. Hahnemann gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to Prof.
Quarin for these privileges.
His straightened pecuniary circumstances, however, compelled him to forego his wish of remaining longer at Vienna;
and through the friendship of Prof. Quarin he was invited
by Baron von Brukenthal, Governor of Transylvania, to
accompany him to Hermanstadt in the capacity of private
physician and librarian. After eighteen months retention
of this situation, and general practice, his improved circumstances enabled him to repair to Erlangen, where he pub



licly defended a Dissertation, and took his degree of Doctor of Medicine, on the 10th day of August, 1779.
Honored by the friendship of some of the most celebrated
Professors and Physicians of Vienna and Leipzig, he returned to Saxony, and entered on the practice of medicine
in Hettstadt, in the district of Mansfield. After a residence
of nine months he left this place, and went to Dessau.
Here, his leisure time was occupied with his favorite
studies of Chemistry and Mineralogy. In 1781, he received
the appointment of district physician at Gommern. From
here'he went to Dresden, and occupied the post of physician to the Hospital, for one year, in place of the celebrated
Wagner, whose intimate friendship he enjoyed. He eventually settled in Leipzig, in 1789, with the view, as he tells us,
of being nearer the seat of the sciences. In 1791, he was
elected a member of the Economical Society of Leipzig,
and in August of the same year, a member of the Academy
of Sciences.
Though he acquired considerable celebrity in practice,
and by his writings, and numerous translations, yet he was
dissatisfied with himself, and with the state of the medical
profession. Always remarkable for his reliance on the facts
of observation, the doubtful, and oftentimes disastrous results, following the application of drugs according to the
vaunted theories of the day, led him to regard these theories as fallacious guides. The further he pursued the practice, and the more extended became his observations of the
practice of the leading men of the profession, the more he
became satisfied of the unreliableness and impotence of the
ordinary method of cure. Under the prevailing treatment,
he saw contagious and epidemic diseases arise, and run
their course, with results, as it appeared to him, less favorable than might have been, reasonably, looked for, if left
entirely to the unaided efforts of Nature. The absence of
a law to guide the physician, he clearly saw, and deeply
deplored. An idea of something better, he tells us, ever




8


haunted him; and to bring this down into a tangible and
subservient form, he felt himself incessantly impelled.
He reviewed the whole history of medicine, hoping to
gather something from the general wreck of theories and
systems, that would serve as a better guide in the choice
of remedies. This he soon found to be a hopeless undertaking. He then examined the recorded experience of the
past ages of the art, with the hope of collecting together a
sufficient number of facts to enable him to educe therefrom
general rules to direct him at the bed-side of the sick. In
a few instances, he found the symptoms of the disease
minutely described, and the remedy pointed out with tolerable accuracy; but these were so rare, compared with
those where the prescription was made in accordance with
the name of the disease, rather than the symptoms, and
thus so little true knowledge could be gained, he abandoned
the project as useless.
But one other point now presented, which offered any
hope of success; and this was, instead of pursuing the
ordinary method, of giving medicines compounded according to the books, to give but a single remedy at a time,
and watch carefully the effect. It soon, however, became
apparent, that under this mode of procedure, medicine
never could be elevated to a Ecience. No disease could be
successfully treated, except that precise form for which a
remedy had been found after long experimentation; and as
diseases were ever changing their forms, and entirely new
forms frequently appearing, it was evident that the practice
of medicine would resolve itself into a never-ending experiment. Was it possible that He, who permitted, in His
Infinite Wisdom, diseases to afflict his helpless children,
had provided no sure way of relief,-had left them alone
to the fallacious reasonings, and hazardous experimentations, of finite and erring capacities?
Thus reasoned Hahnemann; and after a practice of eight
years, he turned away, in disappointment and sorrow, from




9


the labors on which he had entered with such exalted hopes
of future usefulness; that he might no longer, as he wrote
to Hufeland, incur the fearful risk of destroying the lives of
his patients, or of fastening upon themn medicinal diseases
infinitely worse than those which the medicines were designed to cure.
He now gave his attention to the studies of Chemistry
and Mineralogy; and continued to translate, from the Foreign Journals of the day, such papers as appeared to him
valuable in a scientific point of view; while at the same
time he prepared, for the German Scientific Journals, able
original papers;- one, "A new mode of preparing Mercury," which received his name, - another, " Researches on
Poisoning by Arsenic," - and another, denominated the
" Hahnemannian Wine Test," by which wines, adulterated
with Iron and Lead, could be easily detected. These several papers were received with high commendation by the
scientific men of Germany, and translated into several languages.
Hahnemann, now in the vigor of manhood, and rapidly
rising in scientific and literary eminence, engaged in the
translation,* into German, of Cullen's Materia Medica; and
was proceeding in the article on Cinchona, or Peruvian
Bark. This drug was regarded by the profession, and
justly, to a limited extent, as specific in Intermittent Fevers. The speculations of. Cullen, however, with regard
to its mode of operation, suggested to Hahnemann's mind
the idea of testing its properties in his own person. With
that determination of purpose which had always characterized his acts, he engaged in the work. He took the bark
for several days. At length the sickening influence of the
drug manifested itself in chills, followed by fever. The
admitted febrifuge qualities of Cinchona on the one hand,
and the similar disease that he was then suffering in his
own person, from its employment, struck him as a singular
coincidence. He placed the two facts side by side. That
2




10


the Bark cures chills and fever, is a fact too, obvious to
admit of doubt; and I am now suffering chills and fever
from its use.
The first glimmering of the great truth, for which he had
been so long in search, now flashed upon his mind; and, too,
when he was least expecting it. Who knows, queried Hahnemann, but this fact may indicate the true law of healing?
Who knows but a drug that has the power of producing a
certain disease in the healthy body, will cure a similar disease, arising from a natural cause? Was this purile? Was
it beneath the dignity of the rational mind? Did not Newton gain his first perception of the law of gravitation, by
witnessing the fall of an apple? In both instances, the facts
were but the finger-posts pointing along the high-road of
truth.
The ardent aspirations for a better day in medicine,
which had slumbered in disappointment, now returned in
full force. He renewed his examinations of the annals of
medicine, to see if he could find any thing, and how much,
in the experience of the past, to support his conjecture.
He here found, that the few medicines which were regarded
as specifics, and cured promptly certain diseases, had been
known, likewise, to produce diseases, in every way similar,
in the healthy subject.
Sulphur, which was used as specific in the cure of itch,
had been observed by physicians to produce similar eruptions on the skin by its internal use.
It was recorded of some drugs, that cured diarrhoeas of
long standing, that they produced similar diarrhoeas in
healthy persons.
Opium, which was known to produce a somnolent condition, had cured, in the hands of physicians, a similar somnolent state, in the most prompt manner.
It was recorded of Veratrum, that it cured cases of
cholera morbus which had resisted all other means; and it
was also recorded, by other physicians, that it produced a
state similar to cholera in the healthy subject.




11


Heating applications, which of themselves produce inflammation resembling burns, had cured burns in the most
speedy manner, as attested by several authorities.
While Millefoil, in the hands of several physicians, had
cured hemorrhage from various organs, it had been observed, by others, to produce similar hemorrhage from the
same; parts of the body.
As Hahnemann proceeded in his researches, new light
broke upon him at every step. He collected, and recorded,.
in his "Organon of the Specific Healing Art," between
three and four hundred cases similar to the above, which
he culled from the annals of ancient and modern medicine
- giving his authorities in the most minute manner, by referring to the names of the observers, the titles of the books,.
editions, and pages where the observations might be found.
The physicians, in whose hands these cures were performed, knew not upon what principle they were effected,.
but recorded them as remarkable phenomena.
He found, also, in pursuing his investigations, that several of the older physicians had alluded to this mode of
applying remedies, as the law by which medicines sometimes cure; and one physician (Basil Valentine) declared,
as his positive belief, that it was the true law of healing.
Several later writers had observed and recorded the oper--
ation of the law, but it made no permanent impression on
the mind of the profession.
Such was the kind and amount of evidence, recorded by
the labors of the past, that Hahnemann found ready at his
hand, to aid him in confirming the truth of his discovery.
If no drug could cure, except that which had the power
of producing, in the healthy body, symptoms similar to
those of the disease, he, at once, saw that the first step to
be taken was the proving of drugs upon himself. Nothing
had been done in this direction, by the 2500 years' labor of
the past, though the idea was suggested, and its importance
urged, by Haller, Alexander, and others. The sum of all




12


that could be gathered of the operation of drugs in the
healthy body, was the recorded observations which had
been made in cases of accidental poisoning.
What a field of labor here opened to the philanthropic
physician. Scarcely a foot-print was discernible. Selfsacrifice, bodily and mental sufferings, were the offerings
to be laid upon the altar. There was no wavering here,no disposition to put the evil day afar off, - no shrinking
the responsibility, - no disposition, on the part of Hahnemannr, to subject others to the pains and privations which
he would not himself endure. Undaunted at the prospect
before him, he entered upon the work. He commenced
the proving of drugs on himself and family - gradually enlisting some of his intimate friends and associates; and
together they pursued the work of testing the power of
drugs - often suffering severely, and sometimes dangerously from their effects. Every symptom manifested, after
taking the drug, was carefully noted-its locality- the
order of its development -the time of day at which it
occurred, was aggravated, or diminished, and the peculiar
character that marked every symptom. These symptoms
were all written out in a book for future reference. When
a sufficient number of symptoms were thus collected, Hahnemann sought opportunity to make the application. He
proceeded to note down every symptom of the disease,
even the most minute - its peculiarity-the time of day
or night in which it occurred, was aggravated, or diminished-its precise locality, and all its concomitants. The
whole body was passed over in this critical way, and every
unnatural mental manifestation was included in the record.
After the symptoms of the disease were thus minutely and
accurately recorded, he turned his attention to drug symptoms, as they had been noted by the provers; and when he
had made out an exact correspondence - an exact likeness
between the symptoms of the drug and the symptoms of
the disease, he gave the drug, and the result was a rapid




13


and permanent cure. He followed this course of rigid experimentation, and from day to day obtained new and striking
practical results in confirmation of the truth of his discovery.
Thus in 1790, by the true analytic, or inductive method
of investigation, did Hahnemann discover the true law of
healing. The operation of this law he expressed by the
Latin formula - similia simnilibus curantur, or like cures
like. And to the system, thus elaborated, he gave the
name of HOM(EOPATHIA - a compound of two Greek words,
Omoios, like or similar, and Pathos, suffering or disease.
Almost the first of Hahnemann's practice, after his discovery, was at the Insane Asylum, at Georgenthal, founded
by Duke Ernst of Gotha. The recovery, in this asylum,
and under his treatment, of Klockenbring, privy secretary
of the chancery, a man of extensive scientific and literary
attainments, who had been, for a long time, a raving maniac,
and who had been unsuccessfully treated, for a period of
six months, by the most celebrated physician of the age,
gave to Hahnemann, and his treatment, great notoriety. In
this Asylum originated with Hahnemann the present moral
treatment of the insane, the superiority of which, over the
old mode of chains and corporeal punishments, was so evident, that Pinel was induced to adopt it with the maniacs
under his care, in the Hospitals of Paris. This, alone, is sufficient to immortalize his name. If Hahnemann had never
dcone more than this, he accomplished a work worthy of the
transmission of his name to posterity, in all coming time,
linked with the greatest benefactors of the world. It is
an occasion of the deepest gratitude of the world, that he
demonstrated the fact, that love, exhibited in a kindly bearing towards this unfortunate class, is far more potent, in
controlling the maniac passions, than galling chains, and all
the kindred appliances of a barbarous age.
Having pursued a long course of rigid experimentation,
Hahnemann commenced the publication of a series of papers,
in the world-renowned Hufeland's Journal, setting forth the




14


law of cure - the way and means of testing its truth, and
called upon his contemporaries to submit it to the test of
experience, and give the results to the world. Hufeland,
who has been denominated the Patriarch of German medical literature, as well as the most philosophical of medical
men, said of the author of these papers, that he was one
of the most distinguished of the German Physicians -a
compliment justly merited, even at this early period of his
career.
If this was the true law of healing, it at once became
evident that the whole art of medicine must be studied
anew. The splendid theories and systems, which rose in
monumental grandeur to the skies, must fall. These children of the imagination, which now constituted a numerous
household progeny, must be repudiated. The thought was
too humiliating to self-love and self-glory.
Instead of a fair, honorable, and impartial trial of the
new method, which Hahnemann had a right to expect, and
which the importance of the subject demanded, the profession, with a few honorable exceptions, met his appeal with
ridicule. Himself and his discovery were made the subjects of obloquy and vituperation, illiberal misrepresentation and severe and bitter censure. This, however, could
not arrest the progress of investigation, which was prompted
by the love of use, nor silence the tongue that was moved
by truth alone. Those who had the independence to investigate the subject, among whom were several of the
most distinguished physicians of Germany, became converts,
and entered, heart and hand, into the work. These undertook with Hahlnemann, and under his immediate supervision, the great and painful labor of proving drugs upon
themselves, while at the same time they made a practical
application of the law, with brilliant success.
The caution required in selecting and preparing medicines for homceopathic use, in order that they might be reliable, rendered it unsafe to trust this choice and prepara



15


tion to the Apothecary, whose interest clashed so directly
with the interests of Homoeopathia. Hahnemann, therefore, deemed it necessary to keep this under his own control. This conflicted with an old law, which granted to
the Apothecary the exclusive privilege of dispensing the
medicines prescribed; while it denied, under a heavy penalty, this right to the physician. Hahnemann's opponents,
seeing the highly successful results of his labors, which they
were uiable to arrest, either by sophistical arguments or
calumnious aspersions, instigated the Apothecaries to require of government the enforcement of this law. Other
governments, also, were appealed to for the enactment of
such laws as these gentlemen saw would most effectually
arrest the spread of Homceopathia, and, if possible, crush
it in its infancy. Thus Hahnemann was persecuted, and
driven from city to city; and, however degrading to the
dignity of manhood, at one time this hostility and persecution was carried to such an extent, that he was unable to
venture beyond his own threshold.
A less determined spirit than Hahnemann's would have
shrunk from the prosecution of a work surrounded by such
contingencies. But the tree was rooted in good soil, and
the storms of persecution which swept over it, served only
to strike its roots deeper into the earth.
At length, attracted by Hahnemann's fame as a physician,
and as a man of acknowledged scientific attainments; and
learning something of the philosophy of the new system,
and the relentless persecution of his enemies, Ferdinand,
Duke of Anhalt-Coethen, to his honor be it said, invited
him to take up his residence in his dominions, and at the
same time guarantied to him an entire immunity from the
Apothecaries' law. Here Hahnemann resided; and, without heeding his assailants, pursued his investigations, and
continued his practice. Disciples gathered around him;
and year after year the new science extended its way-attracting thousands from far, for the purpose of obtaining
relief from suffering through his instrumentality.




16


After a residence of fifteen years in the Duke's dominions, spent in unremitted toil in the practice of his profession, and oftentimes painful experimentation on himself
for the purpose of perfecting the new science, in compliance with the predilections of his wife, who was a French
lady of distinction, he left Coethen for Paris. Hope of
reprieve from his immense practical labors, induced him
the more readily to yield to the solicitation. But a man to
whom suffering thousands were looking for relief, could not
long remain unknown. He was speedily found out; and,
in a brief period, his residence was again besieged by multitudes - many of whom came from remote parts of the
civilized world. For the remaining eight years of his life
he was overwhelmed with practice.
At PAIS, on the 2D DAY OF JULY, 1843, in the 88TH YEAR
of his AGE, death closed the brilliant career of the immortal founder of HOMcOPATHIA. His intellect remained unclouded to the last.
In a paroxysm of distressing respiration, as life was
drawing near its close, his wife, in the bitterness of her
anguish, exclaimed: ' It seems that Providence should
spare you this terrible anguish, after having suffered and
done so much to relieve the sufferings of others." With
an earnestness which can come only from deep convictions
of the soul, and a firm enunciation, as if to reprove the
rising and unsubmissive spirit, he replied: " Why should I
be granted this special favor? Every one, in this world,
should work according to the gifts and capabilities which
he receives from Heaven. He may receive more or less
preference before the judgment seat of man, but none before God. Providence is indebted to me for nothing; but
I am indebted to him for much-yea,for every thing."
These words were but the expression of the faithful humility which had marked his whole life; and they were the
last words spoken by the illustrious old man, ere the bright
prospects of the eternal world opened upon his vision.




17


It has been said of Hahnemann, by his opposers, that
his conclusions were hasty, immature, and founded on insufficient data. Nothing can be further from the truth.
On the contrary, he seemed to be never in haste; but subjected every thing to the most rigid scrutiny, before reaching a final conclusion.
After his discovery of the law of cure, six years were
passed in patient investigation before he made the fact
known to the world. This he did in 1796. Then fourteen
years elapsed, making twenty years from the time of his
discovery, of diligent inquiry and careful investigation, before his " Organon of the Specific Healing Art " appeared,
which was published in 1810. This work contains the
principles of the new science, and is one of tie most remarkable productions of the scientific mind. In the course of
the next. eleven years (1821), followed his Materia Medica
Pura, in 6 volumes - containing the symptoms of drugs
proved on healthy persons. And the next fifteen years
(1836), brought out his great work on Chronic Diseases,
in 5 volumes.
To the often repeated attacks upon Homoeopathia, by
his opposers, Hahnemann's constant reply was: " Gentlemen, don't attempt to refute Homceopathia by sophistical
argumentation. Judge it by its results. Experience is the
only true test. Take a case - one for which a remedy
has been already discovered by a proving on healthy persons. Note down every symptom in the manner taught in
the Organon, and with an exactness that shall satisfy the
author of Homoeopathia. Apply that drug which shall be
perfectly homoeopathic to all the symptoms - avoiding
every thing which might disturb the action of the drug. If,
under these circumstances, the drug does not afford speedy
and efficient help, then publish the failure to the world--
stating your proceedings in such a manner as shall make it
impossible to gainsay their correctness, and the homoeopathicity of the drug, and the author of Homceopathia will
3




18


stand confounded and convicted." The author of Homoeopathia has never been confounded by such experimentation.
All who have investigated the subject in this rigid manner,
without a single exception, have become converts and zealous defenders of the system.
We have thus sketched, briefly, the principal incidents
of Hahnemann's life. We have seen him rise from poverty
to an honorable distinction in the world of letters. We
have seen him enter the noblest of the professions, ripe in
the learning of the schools, and animated with the most ardent hope of success; and have seen him turn from it in
disappointment, when he became conscious of the uncertainty of the results, and of the probable fact that he was
inflicting a positive injury upon his fellow-men. And when
light was given him, we have seen him obeying the mandate,
by returning with alacrity to what seemed to be the great
object of his life, viz., the establishment of the great art of
medicine upon an enduring basis - upon scientific principles. In effecting this, we have seen him pass, unscathed,
the fiery ordeal of unrelenting hostility, and the sickening
influence of poisonous drugs upon himself, and crown the
legitimate end of his life, in the world, with triumphant
success.
He seemed fitted for the high office to which he was destined, by superior intellectual endowments -by an innate
love of his fellow-men-by a lively consciousness of his
duties to the world, and his responsibilities to his God.
Hahnemann's was eminently a religious character. He believed in working out the great problem of life; and well
did he act up to his faith..In the arduous duties of his
profession, he never neglected the destitute. He was as
unremitting in his attentions to the poor and helpless, as
to the rich and powerful. He regarded all as the children
of one Divine Parent; and wealth and influence could not
tempt him to forsake the beneficiary, until he had served
him to the best of his ability.




19


Of the immensity of Hahnemann's labors, we may form
a better idea by enumerating some of his works. His
translations from other languages, into German, amount to
26 octavo volumes, viz., 16 from the English; 8 from the
French; 1 from the Italian; and 1 from the Latin. His
original works, written in Latin, number 10 octavo volumes; and his original works in German number 23 octavo,
and 4 quarto volumes. Besides these, he was the author
of 41 Essays, Treatises, Monographs, and Dissertations, all
on subjects relating to medical science. Many of his works
have run through seven or eight editions, and been translated into several languages. For instance, his Organon,
in 1 vol., Materia M1edica, in 6 vols., and Chronic Diseases,
in 4 vols., have been translated into all the living languages
of Europe. The above enumerated works are monuments of
Hahnemann's industry and greatness, that will endure when
granite and marble shall have crumbled into earth. In addition to this, we have 40 quarto vols., of 500 pages each
-records of his cases of disease, and their treatment, all
written out by his own hand. We may also add to this account, his medical correspondence, conducted by his own
hand, the extent of which we may form some idea, from the
fact that the names of his correspondents, and the dates of
their letters, alone, form an enormous folio volume.
It is.acknowledged by all who are conversant with the
writings of Hahnemann, that, in originality and depth of
thought, perspicuity, elegance of diction, and high-toned
morality, they are unsurpassed by the productions of any
country, or any age.
We shall now endeavor to show, that there was not only
no law of cure, prior to the time of Hahnemann's discovery, but, also, that the law of cure could not have been previously developed, in consequence of the imperfect state of
the subsidiary sciences. In the brief time allowed us, we
cannot, of course, do much more than make a general state



20


ment of the facts upon which this position is based; but we
hope to make the idea sufficiently comprehensible, that
those who are disposed may extend and confirm it, by historical data, already abundantly accumulated and at hand.
That there was no law of cure, is made evident by the
results of medical practice, the disastrous consequences of
which were deeply deplored by the ablest members of the
profession, as may be seen in their recorded confessions.
The medical world was guided by ever-changing theories
and speculations, the result of many of which, in practice,
as we are told by medical historians, was disastrous in the
extreme. This fact, that there was no law of cure, may be
seen more clearly when we make a comparison of statistical results.
The progressive development of the world's history, in
the Arts and Sciences, as well as in Philosophy and Religion, has moved on in Dispensations. The aim and end of
one dispensation, seemed but the preparation for that which
was to come after it, and ceased only when it had accomplished the object of its mission. The development of science, as with the individual man, has its distinct periods, -
its infancy,-its youth,-its manhood, and its age; and
each period is pre-requisite to the development of every
succeeding period. This is not only so with science in the
complex, but the same law holds good with regard to every
particular science. As the discovery and development of
one science, prepares the way for the discovery and
development of another science of a higher order, so the
observation of facts, prepares the way for the discovery
and development of each particular science. The history
of the discovery of the sciences, shows to us, that the discovery of every science was foreshadowed by certain facts
which first came into the field of observation; and fro.m
these facts certain laws were educed.
Man is an epitome of the world. The investigations of




21


Chemistry show pretty clearly, that there is no element in
the surrounding world, either in earth, water, or air, that
is not represented in the human body; and out of these
elements the human body is composed. The same is true
with regard to the laws that govern the operations of the
physical world. These are all, likewise, represented in
man. As he is the summation of all the physical elements
of the surrounding world, so, likewise, he is the summation
of all the laws by which these elements are controlled.
Thus the organic laws -the laws of motion -the laws of
reproduction, and the laws of life, are all found in man.
This being the fact, we need not go out of man for our
illustrations.
Then with regard to the successive development of the
sciences, we find that the science of Anatomy, which is the
lowest of all the sciences pertaining to the human body,
began first to receive attention, and thus prepared the way
for the development of the science of Physiology, - the
science of Physiology, which came next, prepared the way
for Pathology, &c. Now Physiology never could have been
developed without a previous knowledge of Anatomy; neither could Pathology have been developed without a previous knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology. The cultivation
and development of one, prepared the way for the cultivation
and development of the other. The establishment of each
of these sciences, was preceded by a great number of facts,
observed by physicians through a long series of ages. These
ages may be called the period of incubation.
Now as all things exist for the sake of man, with a view
to afford him the means and conditions of living in the best
possible way for his ultimate happiness, it is easy to perceive that the law of cure, in its scientific relations and importance, is the highest of all natural truths, because the
most useful. It involves the laws pertaining to the physical
sciences. Hence all natural truths are subordinate and subsidiary to this. It is, indeed, that truth towards which all




22


others tend, and to which they have reference. And it was
only by their discovery and successful cultivation, that the
way was prepared for the discovery of the law of cure.
This law, though first in importance, was the last in the
order of development. As in the development and growth
of the mind, lower orders of truths first come into activity,
so in science, those of a lower and subordinate character
first come into the field of mental vision of the great man,
for the world is but a man in a more comprehensive sense.
For a long time prior to the discovery of the law of cure,
the above-named sciences were cultivated with great ardor
and success; and in the latter part of the last century, many
of the earlier of them were brought to a state of great perfection. Histology, the science of tissues, - their form,
color, constituents, origin and uses,-which has done so
much to advance the sciences of Anatomy and Physiology,
and which is destined to act an important part in the pathological knowledge necessary in the Homoeopathic School,
began with Bichat in the latter part of the last century.
Thus, in pursuing a philosophical and historical investigation of the development of the sciences, we find that the
subordinate and subsidiary sciences were in readiness, at
the latter part of the last century, and not till then, to be
crowned with the law of healing as the legitimate result.
By pursuing a course of investigation purely historical,
we shall arrive at the same results.
In tracing the history of the healing art from its earliest
age, we find it marked by.four distinct epochs. -Esculapius,
Hippocrates, Galen, and Hahnemann are their representatives -each standing at the head of a new era. The first,
or AEsculapian epoch, was principally devoted to the obser.
vation of disease. Almost through this whole epoch, the
treatment of diseases was exclusively in the hands of the
priests, and consisted, mainly, in charms and incantations.
The distinctive feature of the ZEsculapian epoch, did not
consist in limited observation and experience, but rather in




23


the unity of the healing art with the priestly office, and the
almost universal mode of treating diseases by magical rites
and enchantments. In this epoch, anatomical investigations
commenced by dissections of the inferior animals.
The next, in order, was the Hippocratic epoch. Hippocrates, divorced medicine from the priestly office, and gave
to it more of a scientific form. This reign was devoted to
speculations on the nature and functions of the human body
- the nature of diseases, and especially to critical and
minute observations of the effects of medicines. Much of
the palliative influence of drugs was learned. Anatomy,
Surgery, Physiology and Pathology were cultivated with
considerable success. This increase of scientifi knowledge,
however, did not constitute the distinctive feature of the
Hippocratic epoch. The distinction consisted in taking
out of the hands of the priests the treament of diseases;
and, instead of relying for a cure upon mystic cerenmonies,
submitting them to the influence of drugs. This epoch
closed with the closing of the Jewish Dispensation.
Coeval with the establishment of Christianity, came a
new epoch in medicine.   Galen was its representative.
Here was presented the first formula in therapeutics. And
this constituted the characteristic featuLre of this epoch, in
contradistinction from the preceding. Out of the observations of the preceding epochs, Galen established the axiom,
"Iccontrary cures contrary." This theory ruled the medical
world for more than 1700 years. It is founded upon the
observed facts that cat hartics palliate constipation, - astringaent medicines palliate diarrhceas, - opium palliates
pain and inordinate wakefulness, &c. This is what is
now known as the Allopathic method of treating diseases,
which is only a prolongation of the Galenian epoch. It is
true, theories and speculations have marked the whole
course of this long and despotic reign. These theories
and speculations were called forth by the manifest inadequacy of this system of palliation to meet the wants of the




24


world; but as they were hypothetical, and brought forth
no better results, the physician always fell back upon the
Galenian Theory of palliation. In spite of this palliative
treatment, chronic diseases increased in numbers and intensity, and plagues and pestilences swept over the world unrestrained. It was this inadequacy of the theory of contraries, on the one hand, and a sufficiently developed condition
of the subordinate and subsidiary sciences on the other, that
gave rise to the new, or Hahnemannian epoch or dispensation.
We do not mean to say, that no diseases were cured, in
the long period of time during which the world was destitute of a law of cure. Divine Providence, true to His purpose of giving to His suffering children the true laws of
life and health, as soon as they could be brought, voluntarily, into a state to receive and rightly appreciate them,
was constantly indicating the true law by remarkable cures,
which physicians were unable to explain by any of the theories of the Schools. The Theory of " Contraries " was the
finger-post which guided their course; yet the most remarkable cures occurred in the opposite manner. Diarrheas,
which had long resisted astringent treatment, were casually
cured, in the most prompt and permanent manner, by cathartics. Burns were cured by heating applications: frost-bites
by cold water or snow, &c. Such facts as these were occurring all the way along, from the days of Hippocrates to
the days of Hahnemann. These are the facts which precede the discovery of great laws, and out of which they are
evolved. In this case, they were the heralds of the great
law of cure, which was awaiting a preparation for its advent.
Of the labors of the physicians of the past, no real useful
discovery has been lost. Every succeeding epoch or dispensation took along with it.all the discoveries of the preceding, and in its turn advanced the great work of developing a true system of healing. The work accomplished by the
SOld School," or Galenian dispensation or epoch, has been




25


great. The subsidiary sciences - Anatomy, Physiology,
Pathology, Surgery, Chemistry, Botany, &c.-have been
advanced by the labors of this school to a degree of great
perfection. These we claim as the rightful inheritance of
the Hahnemannian dispensation, or epoch, which differs from
the Galenian, in crowning its labors with a true therapeutic law, and furnishing a Materia Medica, founded on the
action of drugs in the healthy body, by which the law may
be made available at all times, and under all circumstances.
This aspect of the subject, involving, as it does, the philosophy of the new, or Hahnemannian epoch, and the law
of cure, together with an historical consideration of the
sciences, opens a field too broad to be explored in the short
time permitted us; we must, therefore, pass down to consider the operation of the law on the practical plane.
The true test'of a principle lies not so much in what it
promises, as in what it does. Is it practical? Does it work
well? are the test questions. An affirmative response of a
law, in practice, is the only satisfactory pnswer that can be
given. Let us, then, for a moment, glance at the results of
the practical application of the homoeopathic law of cure,
compared with the results pertaining to the theory,' and innumerable speculations, of the old, or Galenian dispensation.
We shall leave out of the account, as far as we can, the
results of private practice which depend on individual
veracity. All our statistics, even those taken from private
practice, are well authenticated by disinterested witnesses.
In 1813, an epidemic fever, known as the War Typhus,
devastated many districts of Europe. Against this fever,
the old, or Allopathic treatment, was wholly unavailing. In
Leipzig nearly all who were under the old treatment died;
while 183 patients who came under Homceopathic treatment all recovered. This fact created a great interest
among the members of the Russian government, then occupying Dresden, but the medical faculty took no notice of it.
A statistical table of results obtained in the treatment
4




26


of Cholera, in 21 different Hospitals on the Continent of
Europe, under Allopathic treatment, presents a fearful mortality of 63 per cent. During the same epidemic, the statistical tables obtained in 10 different cities on the Continent,
present, under Homceopathic treatment, an average mortality of only 11 per cent. - a balance in favor of Homoeopathia of 52 per cent. At the close of this epidemic, the
Bavarian Government ordered a collection of statistical
results of the Homoeopathic treatment of Cholera in the
Austrian and Bavarian dominions, by which it appeared that
the mortality was a fraction less than 7 per cent., while that
under the old or Allopathic treatment exceeded 63 per cent.
It has been objected by our opponents, as unfair to place
the statistics of private, against Hospital practice. The
Homoeopathic School never manifested a disposition to institute any unfair comparisons. There is no need of this.
The demand has been only a fair field, but no favors. Homceopathia has been under the necessity always of winning
her way to notice and esteem by actual success. At the
period when the above statistics were made up, no Hospitals for Homoeopathic practice were in existence or allowed.
It was the remarkable results of the treatment of Cholera
in private practice, that called the attention of the Continental Governments to it. Prior to this period, Homoeopathia made her way comparatively slow: but this unmistakable triumph over that fearful scourge, before which the
disciples of the old school stood appalled, gave to the new
system a standing and a fame which promoted its rapid
spread. It now begun to be recognized and appreciated
by governments; -restrictions were removed, and it won
rapidly upon the confidence of the public. In Germany,
Russia, France, and other European kingdoms, the system
spread, and many distinguished men of the old school investigated its claims and became converts.
At the subsequent appearance of the Cholera, Hospitals
had been erected; and, in this respect, the two systems




27


were on an equal footing. But the results did not vary
materially from those during the preceding epidemic. Hommopathia sustained her former triumph, and Allopathia her
former defeat. In Vienna, Bohemia, Hungary, Russia, Poland, Italy, and Egypt, the tables show a mortality of 9 per
cent., under Homoeopathic treatment, and 511 per cent.
under Allopathic treatment - a balance in favor of Homoeopathia of 421 per cent. In France, the tables of 1848 and
'49 show the mortality, under Homceopathic treatment, to
have been a fraction over 9 per cent.; while that under
Allopathic treatment, a fraction over 51 per cent. Similar
results were obtained in St. Petersburg, and in Austria. In
some other places, the result stood thus: under Allopathic
treatment two-thirds died; and under Homoeopathic, twothirds were saved.
In the United States, in 1849, statistical tables collected
in Cincinnati, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Sandusky City
stand thus: average mortality, under Homoeopathic treatment, 5 per cent.; while that under Allopathic came up to
47 per cent.
We learn from a recent letter from France, that, by order
of the Emperor, a Homoeopathic physician was sent to a
district in the South of France, to attend upon the poor
villagers, who were rapidly dying off with sweating sickness
and cholera. The mortality, under his treatment, is reported
at 7 per cent.; while the mortality, under the old treatment,
run up to the fearful height of 90 per cent.
Such facts as these afford us the most positive evidence
that we can have, of the possession of a law of cure, on the
one hand, and the absence of a law, on the other. In the
treatment of this terrible scourge, there was no confusion
among Homoeopathic physicians. They were united, the
world over, on the homoeopathic law of cure, and this law
led them to the choice of the same remedies, viz., Camphor, Veratrum, and Copper as principal, and these were
chosen from among those proved by Homoeopathic physi



28


cians upon themselves, and recorded in the Homoeopathic
Miateria Medica. What better proof can we have of the
possession of a general principle, than the fact that physicians, living in remote parts of the world, in the treatment
of a certain form of disease, select the same remedies, according to a recognized principle, and apply them with uniform results? And what better proof can we have of the
absence of a law of cure, than the confusion, and theorizing,
and speculating upon the nature of an epidemic, and its
mode of treatment, and, withal, the continued disastrous
results, all of which characterized the old school treatment
of the repeated cholera epidemics that have visited the
world within the past twenty-five years?
That we do not judge the old school unjustly, may be
evident from the confessions of some of its champions, who,
it is presumed, would not depreciate its merits. Dr. Elliotson, of London, who is a recognized authority in the old
school, said: "As respects this country, I cannot but think
that if all the patients had been left alone, the mortality
would have been much as it has been. *     I am sorry
to say, that, of the cases I had to treat, they nearly all died.
I tried two or three sorts of treatment. Some had opium
and calomel in full doses; but they died. With others I
used hot air, externally and internally; but they died also.
I then tried the saline treatment, with no better results."
Dr. Watson, in his Practice of Physic, which is a text
book of the old school, says; "In a great number of the
sick, the blood was mechanically diluted by pouring warm
water, or salt and water, into their veins. Some physicians put their trust in brandy, some in opium, some in cajeput
oil, and some, again, in calomel alone. But if the balance
could be fairly struck, and the exact truth ascertained, I
question whether we should find that the average mortality
from cholera, in this country, was in any way disturbed by
our craft."
We get no more encouraging accounts from Professors




29


Eberle and Dunglison, of our own country. The Editor of
the London Lancet said: "At the London Hospitals, a great
variety of treatment has been tried, in different cases, but
no satisfactory conclusion has been arrived at. There has
been no unanimity among our physicians. By this is
meanit, that each physician has followed his own plan.of
treatment. Nearly all the' severe cases have died under
every plan of treatment." This is but a moiety of the evidence that we might adduce, from the confessions and declarations of its friends, of the entire nullity of the old school
practice in the great epidemics that have devastated cities
and countries since the days of Hippocrates. Are we not,
then, justified; or are we uncharitable, in saying, that, in the
old or Allopathic School, there is no law of cure?
The, comparative results of the treatment of Yellow
Fever, at the South, in 1853, are no less striking. We have
statistics of the mortality in New Orleans, Natchez, Havana
and Barbadoes, which present an average mortality, under
Allopathic treatment, of 56 per cent.; and unde-r Homceopathic, of 7 per cent. -a balance in favor of the law of
cure of 49 per cent.
Statistics gathered by a commission appointed by Government, to inquire into the success of the Homceopathic
treatment, in the great Military Hospitals at Vienna and
St. Petersburg, and statistics gathered from five other Hospitals, in Hungary and Vienna, show the mortality, under
Homoeopathic treatment, to have been 4Q per cent.; while
that in the same number of Allopathic Hospitals came up
to 13 per cent.
The statistical results of the treatment of Pneumonitis
(inflammation of the lungs), Pleuritis (pleurisy), Phrenitis
(inflammation of the brain), Enteritis (inflammation of the
bowels), and Dysentery, gathered by Dr. Routh, an Allopathic physician, at the Vienna Hospitals, stand thus: mortality under Homeopathic treatment, 3` per cent.; and under Allopathic, 17 per cent. The same authority gives us




30


statistics of Hospitals in London, Edinburg, Glasgow, Liverpool, Vienna, Leipzig, Linz, and other places, exclusive of
cholera. Mortality under Allopathic practice, he places at
10 per cent.; and that under Homceopathic, at 4 per cent.
Statistics collected during the fever and dysentery epidemic attending the Irish famine, in 1847, show the following results: Allopathic mortality, in dysentery, 36 per cent.;
Homoeopathic, 14 per cent. Allopathic mortality in fevers,
13 per cent.; Homoeopathic, less than 2 per cent.
At the same time, there was opened another fever Hospital, where no medicine was used - simply cleanliness,
ventilation, and good nursing: mortality, 10 per cent. Here,
then, we have a comparison of three methods: Ordinary
treatment, mortality 13 per cent.; no medicine, mortality
10 per cent.; Homceopathic treatment, mortality less than
2 per cent. Here the old treatment shows itself to be worse
than no medical treatment, by 3 per cent.
The New York Protestant Half Asylum has been under
Homce.opathic auspices, as to its medical management, for
the last thirteen years. For the seven previous years, the
inmates were under Allopathic management. An inveterate
opthalmia, and skin disease, broke out among the children, which resisted a long and persevering course of Allopathic treatment. The board of managers were induced
to try Homoeopathic treatment as a last resort. One or
two of the children were submitted, by way of experiment.
By a rapid and permanent cure of these, the whole Asylum
was put under treatment, by which 243 children were
speedily cured of a most distressing malady. The institution, then, passed under Homoeopathic treatment, and has
since continued. The ratio of deaths, under Allopathic
treatment, compared with the Homoeopathic, were as three
to one.
We might multiply well-authenticated statistics to an indefinite extent; but time will not permit.
In the face of a most virulent, and, in many instances, a




31


dishonorable opposition, Homoeopathia has spread among
the people. It has found its way to every civilized nation
of the globe. Ten years ago, where it numbered its adherents by hundreds only, it now numbers them by thousands. Its patrons are among the most enlightened portion
of the public; and its professors would vie, in point of intellectual ability, and acquirements, and weight of moral
character, with the ablest members of the medical profession, generally.
Twenty-nine years ago, Homoeopathia was introduced
into this country. Dr. Gram, a native of this city, was the
pioneer. After having spent eighteen years abroad, -five
years of which he spent, with much honor, under the appointment of the King of Denmark, as Assistant Surgeon
in a large Military Hospital,-he returned to this country,
and commenced the practice of Homceopathia in the city of
New York, in 1826. For a long time, little or nothing was
known of it beyond his immediate circle of friends and
patrons. At length, from its marked success, it began to
be known, and gradually to extend its way; so that, at the
end of seventeen years, the Homceopathic ranks, in this
country, numbered 600 physicians. Since that period, its
progress has been rapid. Thousands of intelligent laymen
have embraced, and depend wholly upon it; and the number of physicians, who, at this time, enroll themselves in
its ranks, number about 3500. Every year is bringing new
accessions from the old medical ranks, and vigorous young
men from our medical schools.
We have now two Homoeopathic Medical Schools, chartered by Government, in which the science and art of medicine are taught in all their branches. In addition to these,
a bill has just passed the Legislature of Michigan, establishing a Hommopathic Professorship in the University of that
State. Last year, by a vote of the Trustees of the Mississippi State Hospital, located at Natchez, the medical and
surgical departments of that Institution, were put into the




32


hands of Homcoopathic Physicians and Surgeons. This
was brought about by the wonderful success of the Homoeopathic treatment of Yellow Fever in that region. Thus
we see, notwithstanding the violent opposition of a jealous
brotherhood, which is brought to bear upon it in various
ways, Homoeopathia is making her way to State favor and
support.
In England and Continental Europe its progress is no
less rapid. Three years ago, the 10th of last August, a
costly statue of bronze was erected to the memory of the
immortal founder of Homceopathia, amid the joyous acclamations of an immense assemblage, and submitted to the
keeping of Government, in the place from which, twenty
years before, he was driven by the hostility of his opposers.
This is one of the indications of a mighty revolution in
public sentiment.
Many of the European Sovereigns and Courts have their
medical Counsellors from the Homoeopathic ranks. These
are posts which can be filled only by physicians of acknowledged eminence and skill. About 24 Professors of Medicine, in European Universities, making about 42 in all,
after having submitted it to the test of experience, have
openly adopted, teach, and defend it by Government sanction and support. Other medilal men of eminence, and
occupying high and responsible stations, after a practice of
many years, have carefully investigated its claims, entered
into its practice with great zeal, and urgently call upon
their colleagues to follow their example. Every facility is
offered for instruction and investigation, in both Hospital
and Dispensary practice.
Several European Governments, conservative as they
are, in compliance with the public demand, have not only
removed all restrictions relating to its practice, but have
given grants of the public money for the establishment of
IHomnxopathic Hospitals and Professorships, as means of
instruction and propagation. This is as it should be. The




33
practice of medicine involves so much of human happiness,
and human welfare, in the absolute failure of the recognized
system, after a continued trial of 1700 years, to meet the
pressing necessities of the age, if another system is offered,
bearing as its motto, " the univeral law of cure," and supported, in its pretensions, by the ample experience of more
than a half century, the people not only have a right, but
it is their duty, everywhere, to claim for it, an impartial
and thorough investigation by the State. This can be accomplished, in no way, so well as in public Hospitals, which
should be under the immediate inspection of a competent,
but unbiassed, government commission. These Hospitals
should be placed, side by side, with Allopathic Hospitals,
and a most rigid comparison instituted, and the results
given to the world. This is what Homoeopathia asks, and
what the public should demand at the hands of the State.
Homoeopathia is bold in her demand, because confident in
power. She is not that craven, impuissent thing, which
haunts the disordered imaginations of enmity and selfconceit, shrouding her pretensions in unmeaning technicalities; but she courts the most rigid inquiry. She stands
before the world the simple embodiment of a great truthnot a suppliant for favors; but asking the simple office of
serving the hitherto outraged necessities of the world.
-From these considerations may be seen, how much truth
there is in the often-repeated assertion, that " Homceopathia is going down." There never was a time when its
prospects looked so bright, and when it possessed so much
power over the intelligent public mind, and over the cure
of diseases.
The question, no doubt, often arises: if Homoeopathia
is the true science and art of healing, why does not the
profession, generally, receive it? For it is seen, that there
are, connected with the medical profession, men of genuine
philanthropy, and enlarged intellectual endowments -
those who are devoting the labor of their lives to the wel5




34


fare of their fellow-men - yet such stand aloof from it;such do not consider it worthy of investigation.  The
ground of this opposition, is, doubtless, in an inherent indisposition of the human mind to change. So strong is
this unwillingness to give up preconceived opinions, that
our Lord, in the Gospels, makes it the subject of special
reference. "No man," says He, " having drunk old wine,
straightway desireth the new; for he saith the old is bette'." This general idiosyncrasy of the mind, is exhibited
in various ways. The presentation of a new truth, is
passed over, by some, with stolid indifference; by others,
it is regarded with caution; a few look upon it with favor;
but the majority, as the history of the reception of all
truths testify, not only with opposition, but, also, with denunciation and malevolent contempt. And the virulence
of this opposition, is, generally, in proportion to the magnitude of the truth presented. In illustration of this, we
might cite numerous examples. All who are familiar with
the history of discoveries in science, know the opposition
with which the self-constituted censors of science met the
discoveries of planetary motion - the law of gravitation -
the prophylactic powers of vaccination - the circulation of
the blood, and the announcement of Ambrose Pare, of the
feasibility of arresting the flow of blood, by tying the severed arteries, in amputations, instead of plunging the bleeding stump into boiling pitch. If we leave the planes of
science and philosophy, and ascend a step beyond, we shall
find this opposition in no way abated. The Reformation,
so called, though wanting in the characteristics of a new
truth, made its way through flames of fire--against the
inquisition -over the executioner's block, and through
rivers of blood. And He who declared Himself THE
Truth, and verified His Divine character, by a constant exhibition of superhuman power, was scorned and derided,
was stoned and buffeted and spit upon, was crowned with
thorns, and crucified at last. If such, then, has been the




35


ordeal through which all truths have passed, in their descent into the human mind, could we, reasonably, expect a
ready and kindly reception of the law of cure?
Such as we have described him, was the founder of Homoeopathia: - and such as we have attempted to detail, in
the brief period allowed us, are the character of the law
which he discovered, its practical workings, and its present
condition. In view of these facts, it requires no prophetic
gift, to predict the future of medical science. The great
art of medicine is now settled on an enduring basis; - on
laws as unchangeable and eternal as are the laws that govern the motion of the planets. It is a science and art preeminently for the people: and Public Opinion - that mighty
engine, which is to batter down hierarchies in science and
philosophy, as well as in religion -those hierarchies which
assume the right to command the understanding and control the conscience--is awakening to a knowledge, and
just appreciation of the present aondition of the medical
world. The bright and glorious sun of truth is gilding the
mountain tops; and an army, invincible, has already taken
up its conquering march: and nothing but supineness, or
internal dissensions, can retard its progress, and the accomplishment qf its purpose. Brethren of the Homceopathic
School, let us look well to this. Let not indolence, nor
jealousies, nor heart-burnings, nor love of self-exaltation,
turn us, in our labors, froih working out faithfully and justly
the great purpose of our lives. We have assumed a mighty
responsibility. A great work lies before us: - a work involving, in the highest degree, the happiness and well-being
of the world.  Hahnemann commenced this work. He
discovered the law of cure, which is limited only by the
limitation of disease; and which may be applied, in the
treatment of the sick, with mathematical precision. He,
also, pointed out the way of making this law universally


5*




36


available; and his labors, in developing the means, were
greater than those of any other man. For this, we should
award to his memory the meed of grateful hearts. We
should appreciate the exalted position to which he attained,
among the great Benefactors of the world; but, in doing
this, we should not lose sight of the great men who labored
before him. He never could have attained his eminence,
had they not prepared the way. These great men were
the true and honest workers in the discovery and cultivation of the subsidiary sciences. We should honor them, as
we honor him for his genius-for his industry that never
wearied, and for his philanthrophy which knew no bounds.
We should honor them, as we honor him as the chosen instrument of God-as.fellow servants in the great work of
human progress, and the advancement of human welfare.
We can cultivate the same spirit of love for the human
race - the same earnestness of purpose, and unyielding
perseverance. Than this, we cannot do better, or more,
to alleviate the sufferings of our race.
This great work, in which Hahnemann accomplished so
much, he did not, he could not perfect. Much has been
done, since his decease, by the earnest disciples of the
new faith; and much is now doing; and much, very much,
is yet to be done. The law is perfect, but it cannot work
without means. The Homoeopathic Materia Medica is the
only instrument, by which this law can accomplish its
Heaven-born mission, to the millions who are chained to
the rack, by the remorseless hand of disease. This is in
an imperfect state, both as to its extent and arrangement;
and the perfecting this is the great business before us.
This can be accomplished, only, by submitting ourselves to
the sickening influence of drugs. He who is unwilling to
do this, is unworthy the name of Physician,-is not worthy to bear the name of our Great Exemplar, whose mission to earth was to " hwal all manner of sickness, and all




manner of disease."  Let us hope that we have none such
among us. He who has not, already, commenced the proving of drugs upon himself, should not permit another revolution of the earth to be made before entering upon the
work. It is a sacred duty- an act of genuine philanthropy; yea, an act of Christian Charity, which no one, who
assumes the responsible office of Physician, can neglect, and
perform his duties faithfully and well. It will enable him,
better to understand the true character of his remedies,
and to apply them with greater precision. Should not this
be a sufficient stimulus for a little more toil and suffering?
Would it not be a sufficient reward, for a little more painstaking, to be instrumental in restoring the sunshine of joy
to that afflicted family, who are watching, with anxious
hearts and tearful eyes, the sufferings of one, around whom
are entwined the tenderest emotions of parental and fraternal love? On our shoulders rests the responsibility of
applying the remedy, by that law which has been given us,
by the merciful dispensations of Divine Providence, to restore that stricken one; or, if this cannot be, to soothe his
passage through the dark valley that leads to his future
home. The means are placed within our reach, and the
way pointed out; and the consequences will rest upon us,
after having assumed the responsibility, if we, through
indolence or indifference, betray the trust reposed in our
faithfulness.
Under the benign and transforming influence of the Sun
of the New Dispensation, which is spreading light, and
diffusing genial beams, over the dark, cold, and sterile
regions of a speculative philosophy- dispelling the mist
of prejudice, and warming into life a waning charity, let
us look forward, with confidence and hope, and do what in
us lies, to hasten on "the good time coming," - perchance
it may be in the far-off future,-when the jarring and




38
discordant elements, that now distract the medical world,
the consequences of which fall so heavily upon the sick,
will be hushed to repose; and all who assume the great
and responsible trust, of ministering to the diseased and
suffering of mankind, shall be encirled by the golden girdle of RECONCILIATION and PEACE.

GENTLEMEN:
Your note of the 26th ult. was duly received, and should have
been answered sooner - but that I hesitated about complying with your
request. The complimentary vote of thanks, &c., is gratefully acknowledged, assuring me, as it does, that my efforts were not altogether lost.
I feel, Gentlemen, that the Poem is hardly worth publishing, and
may subject me to some considerable criticism. It was prepared during
the three weeks previous to its delivery, amid a host of engrossing duties
and cares. * *   *     *   *
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen,
Very Respectfully Yours,

POEM.
Far distant in the classic regions of the East,
Beyond where stormy Boreas kept perpetual feast,
Was born the son of powerful Jove, Apollo crowned,
The God of Music, and of Medicine renowned!
The God of Poesy, whose ever-tuneful Lyre
Filled Earth with wild enchantment and poetic fire!
Whose inspiration flowing in successive line,
He ever promised to the healing-Art divine!
That boon now claims the humblest of his lineal sons,
The Muse, who o'er this harp his trembling fingers runs,
Who slumb'ring long in scenes where sickness and distress
Develope all Earth's misery and its loveliness,
At your command resumes the long unpractised Lyre,
To hail the advent of Therapeia's honored sire!
To tell the vastness of the scheme he brought to birth,
And crown him as the Benefactor of the Earth!
And ye, who, like the Eastern Magi, joyful come,
Led by the one pure star that points us to his home,
With spice and incense gath'ring round his infant bower,
To welcome and to blesseour Master's natal hour!
Ye, who would bid the Muse embody all your praise,
And join in one entrancing song your votive lays,
Plucking a laurel crown from green Parnassus' height,
To wreathe around his rev'rend brow of radiant light,
Or from the sacred depths of pure Pierian spring,
That ever-living draught which makes immortal, bring!
List! while with trembling wings unfurl'd the muse would soar
Beyond Parnassus' mystic heights, or classic lore,
And mounting upward emulate the advent strain,
Now chanted in celestial chorus once again,
Bidding " good will to man," and joy that ne'er shall cease,




42


Since Man and Nature join in one harmonious peace!
And meet the theme! for now an hundred times the Sun,
Around the radiant belt his circling course has run,
Since first Therapeia's glorious morning dawn began,
And hosts of waiting spirits welcom'd Hahnemann!
A hundred years! how like a flitting vapor past!
Yet o'er long ages what a halo it has cast!
How like a meteor-flash its story strikes the eye!
How sinks into the brain, like lightnings in the sky!
A hundred years! yet in that little niche of Time,
One simple, healing system spreads through every clime!
Humanity, through all her complex structure shakes,
As the redeeming Truth, like sunlight, on her breaks!
As when the gazing trav'ler some high mountain nears,
Its vastness grows until its top in heav'n appears;
So Truth, which blesses and enobles man below,
Swells and expands the nearer to its base we go!
So one unfailing law, discovered at the base,
Makes human Science swell through all material space,
And Nature's pure remedial Art, benignly kind,
SSpreads high and wide o'er all the universe of mind!
A hundred years ago, this very day, was born
The gifted mind that came to bless a race forlorn;
That first to Nature's broad foundation boldly went,
And grasped its one, great, healing-Law omnipotent:
Then led the way to Life's fair Tree, whose branches bear
" Leaves for the healing of the Nations,"--fresh and fair!
He came like the Rainbow! - bright harbinger of peace,
Sure promise that the deluge of suff'ring should cease!
He went like the Rainbow!-fated never to die,
His form only, faded and passed into the sky!
Now while we gazing stand, and supplicating call,
" My Father;" let on us thy healing mantle fall!
As when of yore the prophet saw with strong desire
The old Elijah mounting on a car of fire;
And bending low received his Master's falling shroud,
"A double portion of his spirit" from the cloud!
And while o'er earth the living spirit of the Lyre,
Is clothing all his deeds with eloquence of fire,
And warbling symphonies, with joyous, festal lay,
Throughout all lands proclaim his natal day!




43


'Twere meet th' historic muse should climb the toilsome way,
Which led from winter darkness up to vernal day;
And standing on the last-surmounted peak of Truth,
Look back upon the path which Science trod in youth;
Mark out the hill-tops gilded with the streaks of light,
The firstabright, healing beams which dawned upon the night;
The first glimmerings of kind Nature's genial ray,
In pity shed to chase disease and pain away!
As erst the Earth from darkness and from void arose,
Evolving from crude chaos, and from deep repose;
So all the Arts which bless and comfort social Man,
In simple, yet imperfect principles began;
From crude, chaotic germs, they op'ed in Reason's ray,
As flowers unfold their petals to the blaze of day!
So from crude facts arose the healing-Art divine,
In doctrine and in practice simple and benign.
It drew from Nature, Nature's pure remedial power,
And found its healing balm in ev'ry tree and flower.
The Patriarch prescribed whate'er his children took,
Or Priests unfolded hidden leaves from Nature's book.
To ripe old age men lived in peace and tranquil joy,
Their human elements unmixed with drug alloy.
Their simple food and habits kept perpetual health,
And pain and sickness only came to them by stealth.
Strange, that the simple means of that primceval age,
Should first have been restored by C6then's modern sage!
Strange, that the blended light of Art's old age and youth,
Should so assimilate in harmony and truth!
As early evening's loveliest star resembles most
The brighest orb that sparkles in the morning's host!
Or as in purity and innocent repose,
Life's young and ruddy morn is like its evening's close!
So calm and so serene arose the morning dawn
Of Science' healing ray, from simple Nature drawn,
The Muse would gladly linger, basking in its beam,
Or on swift pinion fly adown the rapid stream,
To where the scorching, noon-day Sun has sunk to rest,
And evening's purer twilight gathers 'round the blest!
Not so the Master; -who hath taught us how to gain
The steep ascent of Truth only through care and pain.
Though toilsome be the path, the chasms though profound,




44
Each must be trod if we would reach the higher ground.
No system of the healing-Art e'er held the sway,
And like the trackless wind forever passed away;
Philosophy, where'er she's bent her course sublime,
Has left her foot-prints on the adamant of Time!
Fact built on fact has slowly formed the solid base,
From which fair Science sought still loftier heights to trace;
Still ever slowly rearing high her honor'd head,
While thrones and kingdoms all have crumbled with the dead!
In distant ages, far beyond historic ken,
The pure and simple "Art of Healing" lived with men.
When they withdrew from Nature, she withdrew from them,
And under mystic rites concealed her diadem.
The Priests became the chemists, and the "healers" too;
With grotesque symbols, and with incantations new,
They hir'd, or fright'ned, or implored disease to leave,
While they the pockets of their ignorant patients thieve.
As still, in later times, among the savage tribes,
The Powwvows, moved by pity, or by gen'rous bribes,
Drest like revolting monsters, dance around the bed,
And shout and howl their prayers above the sick man's head.
If the Great Spirit hears, the patient soon is healed,
If not, some happier heav'n is soon to him revealed!
Thus dark the clouds which cover Superstition's night;
And long the ages, ere the dawn of Reason's light;
Till beaming on th'Ionian isles Pythagoras came,
To light up Grecia with his philosophic flame.
The four great elements "his golden verses" sung;
On Earth, Air, Fire, and Water all things vital hung,
Until the great Hippocrates, from Coos' isle,
Dissolved all elements in mucus, blood, and bile:
The "crudum et intemperatum" only sought,
And always the "materia peccans" boldly fought.
Child as he was in Reason's and in Logic's rules,
His clear perceptions stand a model for all schools!
Corpuscular Philosophy next held the sway,
And Epicurus, with his atoms rul'd the day;
Until Solidism by strange cohesion fixed 'em,
In the triune strictum, laxum, and the mixturm.
But soon e'en solids were dissolved in fleeting air,
And vanished in great Plato's heav'nly Pneuma there;
So subtle, immaterial a principle,




45


That it was only seen where it was vincible.
Built on these two extremes, Eclecticism arose;
How high she pierced the clouds her tow'ring head still shows!
Immortal Galen on her front carved out his name,
And all succeeding ages read his deathless fame.
dombining all the lore of systems gone before,
And with a goodly store of facts unknown of yore,
He built Pathology upon a base so sure,
That fifteen centuries saw it standing still secure!
He gave its technic language to the healing-Art,
And stamped his own great impress on its every part!
An envious sect burnt up his books in solemn state;
But worlds of fire can ne'er prevent his deathless fate!
When.thirsty trav'lers on the scorching, sandy plain,
The green Oasis find amid the desert's main,
They from its cool, refreshing fount reluctant go,
Still fondly ling'ring where its cooling waters flow,
Still looking back while forced thqir weary way to wend,
With new life and hope they hasten to their journey's end!
So passing through the long and arid waste of Time,
We ling'ring leave the spot by Galen made sublime;
Yet onward urged, we plod the weary, darksome way,
To where Anatomy first shed its kindling ray:
Then climb the philosophic Paracelsian mount,
To view Bofmbastus with his alchymistic fount,
Where "Archeus " with mercury, salt, and sulphur rife,
Compounds his mysterious "Elixir of Life;"
That far-fam'd potion by credulous thousands sought,
Until th' imposters' early death its value taught.
Vain, pompous, empty, Paracelsus' system stands,
And but for one specific, in oblivion lands!
Now hast'ning on with eager steps we reach the plain,
Where bold Empiricism has built her vast domain.
Like some great city studded o'er with domes and spires,
We see her gleaming in the light of heav'nly fires;
Her numerous turrets tinged with noon-day beams arise,
And Science rears her temples tow'ring to the skies!
Pathology, in adamantine columns long,
Forms her foundation and her pavement deep and strong;
Art builds her palaces, her schools and classic domes,
Adorns her costly walls, and beautifies her homes;
Chemistry kindles up her dross-consuming fires,




46


And on her altars lights a flame which ne'er expires;
Philosophy, like gentle zephyrs, fills her trees,
Reviving all their leaves with its soft, vernal breeze;
Discoveries, like rolling waves, around her beat,
From Nature's depths upheaving treasures at her feet;
Immortal names are carved on all her statues tall,
But Sydenham's figure crowns her loftiest pedestal!
'Twas his great genius, ever searching Nature's laws,
With nice exactness tracing symptoms to their cause,
That marked him Anti-type of one, in human lore,
Who, coming after, was " to be preferr'd before!"
'Twas his prophetic vision saw, and bless'd this day,
And long'd to bask in its specific healing ray!
What he foresaw on Fact's materialistic shore,
We hasten now to gain through Pysche's open door,
And mounting up her cloud-capp'd hill ethereal,
We breathe the Pneuma of the visionary Stahl:
There, soul alone combats death's devastating damps,
And yields or conquers by its antony or cramps.
Soon e'en the soul is lost in Excitation,
And the Pneuma is condensed to Irritation.
Then into view spring up those wondrous things the nerves,
Which like the forked Lightning make fantastic curves,
Mapping all nature with their streams of varied course,
Bearing the vital spirits to their central source.
In the dim distance seen, two rival domes arise,
And lift their tow'ring heads in grandeur to the skies!
The one;--great Cullen's classic storehouse, wide and free;
The other;- Brown's convivial fane of Stimuli;
Where with sthenic whiskey, he asthenia plied,
And the vis medicatrix naturce denied!
Now with enraptur'd vision, and on buoyant wing,
The Muse has soared to where perennial fountains spring,
And standing on the present cent'ry's threshold fair,
Looks forth upon its vast expanse, its beauties rare;
Surveys the citadel where Art and Science meet,
And Truth, at last, redeem'd humanity shall greet!
Oh! vast the structures by regen'rate Science built!
And bright her lofty tow'rs, by Knowledge's sunbeam gilt
Her streets all pav'd by pure Experience's golden ore,
Her strong foundation-Time's accumulated lore!
Her temples throng with mighty spirits, young and old,




Each bringing to her altars priceless gifts untold.
There Volta and Galvani build the magic pile,
With Nature's fluid making e'en dead Nature smile;
Shaking Pathology from its organic base,
In nervous currents for awhile to run its race;
Subliming Philosophy in ether so rare,
That Schelling to find it, had to vanish in air!
There Paracelsian Parasites appear again,
And ever novel wonders crowd the vast domain;
There the powerful Microscope unfolds its light,
And infusorial worlds burst on the wond'ring sight;
There Chemists penetrate the arcana of Life,
And cell-germs provoke the vis-vitalis to strife;
There Laannec brings his Stethoscope, that wond'rous ear,
To which remotest depths of hidden sound are clear;
There th' Anatomist bends him o'er the silent dead,
Exploring those mysterious paths all life must tread;
There Earth, Air, Fire, and Water yield to man's command,
And e'en the Lightning writes by his directing hand!
Throughout her whole extent, all Nature seems in throes,
Struggling by Reason's light her secret to disclose;
And pointing ever upward to her healing wand,
1Her magic Caduceus held in Hahnemann's hand!
As 'fore the troubled hosts on Egypt's barren plains,
By serpents' venom filled with agonizing pains,
Their meek, mute Leader lifted up the brazen coil,
And pointed to Homoion, - suff'ring's only foil!
So to Earth's countless hosts, all writhing with disease,
Our Master lifted up the promise of release!
On Truth's high tower he raised kind Nature's healing wand,And bid the suff'ring thither look from every land!
While written in light o'er all earth's almucantur,
Stands " similia similibus curantur."
Thus stood the Master on the mount of Truth!
And this the scene which he survey'd in youth.
Thus looking back o'er all the ages past,
He mark'd the structures which thro' time shall last;
Yet on the path by Art and Science trod,
He view'd the myriad mounds of grassy sod;
With pity saw vast temples rear'd on high,
Built o'er the bones of wrong'd humanity;
He read th' inscription on great Nature's urn,




48
"Dust thou art, and to dust thou must return; "
Yet griev'd to see the young, in beauty's prime,
With ripening manhood slain before its time;
To see fair Science wind a Conqueror's wreath,
Only to place it on the brow of Death!
Oh! sad the picture that before him laid!
The angel Therapeia changed to a jade!
A hideous, hoary-headed Hydra grown,
Whom genial Nature never deign'd to own;
Who following in Science's beaten track,
Is ever tort'ring victims on her rack;
Who makes the unborn babe to feel her might,
Long ere its vision opens to the light,
And ere it fairly dons this mortal coil,
She forces down a dose of Castor Oil;
Despite its struggling screams she holds its nose,
And pours adown its throat the nauseous dose:
Wak'd then to suff'ring, which it can't help heed,
Down goes Paragoric or th' Anise-seed.
If still the fever makes the poor child cry,
The Hydra gives it Spiritus Nitri;
With hot "herb-teas "she makes its stomach sweet,
And plasters " drafts " upon its tender feet.
If nature yields not, but one thing remains,
Give Calomel, from one to twenty grains!
Mercury, the sheet anchor of her fame,
She calls Hydra-rgyrum, after her name!
Thus helpless, tender childhood does she nurse,
And in Life's fountain plant her with'ring curse.
Thus she begins her ever active course,
With years increasing only in its force.
The robust youth she bleeds to syncope,
And drains the life-blood of humanity:
Endless catharsis is her only hope,
Counter-irritation her utmost scope;
Ether and Opium are her only balm,
"To soothe the stings of. pain and bring sweet calm.
With ever-loathsome, ever-vile compounds,
Her blandest pharmacopeia abounds;
Whate'er disease's cause, where'er its seat,
The same eternal round of drugs we meet;
The same old tortures, with perhaps new names,
The same old fires, only with hotter flames.




49


Time would fail to tell the Hydra's prances,
With vile drugs and sanguinary lances,
With murd'rous moxas, setons and blisters,
With fuming acids, drastics and clysters,
With burning caustics eating to the bone,
And plasters, such as made a Here'les groan,
The Diaphoretics and Emetics,
Th' Anthelmintics and the Diuretics,
With the myriad cruel tortures more
By which she's crimsoned earth with human gore:
The path of Science, all darken'd with blood,
Shows where the feet of the Hydra have stood!
Shows 'mid the progress of Learning and Art,
No change in her cruel and torturing smart!
Like her prototype, the monster of yore,
Where'er one head's cut off, up spring two more.
E'en her votaries shudder'd at her force,
Yet follow'd her secundem artem course;
And blindly still to Hydra they clung on,
Like the fond mother to her idiot son.
So flourish'd Disease, by Demons supplied,
Deep shooting its roots, its boughs spreading wide;
Like the dread Upas, deadl'est of trees,
With venomous breath polluting the breeze!
Whose fatal branches luxuriantly spread,
And ever their with'ring influence shed;
While pale ghosts of victims wander around,
And mould'ring skeletons whiten the ground!
Thus stood Hahnemann; - and this gloomy scene surveyed;
Then upward look'd to where celestial breezes played!
From Truth's high mountain top the mists of night had gone,
And bright and clear the heavenly orb upon it shone!
No lightnings flashed, no thunders from the blazing cloud,
Proclaimed great Nature's law in terrors long and loud;
But peaceful as the calm when winds are lulled to rest,
And soft as infant slumbers on the mother's breast,
The still, small voice of Truth broke on his ravished ear,
And breathed " Homoion," - Nature's healing-secret dear!
As stood the Prophet, 'fore whom on the mountain vast,
The wind, the earthquake, and the fire successive pas'd;
Yet God came not in terror there, -but softly stole
In still, small breathings o'er his prostrate, yearning soul! -




50


So stood our Master, -while the Hydra's whirlwind blast,
Her human earthquakes, and her fire before him past,
Till Nature softly breathed her secret to his soul,
And with pure healing beams lit up the darken'd scroll!
Then came he forth to bless the world with healing light,
And clear away the gloomy shades of sorrow's night!
To suff'ring earth he gave his Heav'n-descended plan,
And showed the one sole therapeutic Law to man!
Then hideous Hydra hung her Hippocratic head,
And vanished quickly 'mid the caverns of the dead;
Proud Science now no longer recognized her power,
But sought the healing angel from yon heavenly bower!
Then, on a seraph's wing descending from the skies,
Borne downward on the breath of human agonies,
The Angel Therapeia, in snow-white garments came,
And quickened into life Hygeia's fitful flame!
Led by the Master, she went forth through suff'ring lands,
Bearing the " Olive-branch of Peace " in stainless hands:
Gath'ring up the cures, the pearls of ages past,
T' enrich the diadem which shall forever last;
Waving aloft, where'er she went, with loud acclaim,
Her magic wand,- One fire puts out another's flame!
She looks upon the spotless babe, and leaves her smile
To play forever there, unchanged by poisons vile;
She hovers round the mother in her darkest hour,
As gently as an Angel, yet as strong in power;
She guards the blooming roses on bright beauty's cheek,
From Grief's undying worm, from sickness wan and weak;
She kneels beside the fallen soldier on the field,
And comforts and protects him with her powerful shield;
Old age upon her leans, and downward gently glides,
'Till Life's short stream is merged in boundless ocean tides;
With gentle hand she ministers to L mind diseased,"
And lights the smile of triumph o'er the soul appeased;
She, earthward sorrow straightens up with heavenward joy,
And checks th' uplifted hand that would its life destroy;
Through all the varied path by suff'ring mortals trod,
She ever brings the healing power that wells from God,
So softly severe, so spiritually strong,
That unseen fingers seem to guide its way along!
All Earth her storehouse of remedial treasures vast,
From Nature's " veins of strength " upshooting pure and fast:
Her " flints and chalks " from low sub-basic depths she brings,




51
To mend the crumbling walls of Life's deep fountain springs;
With plants and flowers which ornament the earthy crust,
She soothes the pains which rise in stems of mortal dust;
E'en the venomous serpents in her hands become
" Circles of goodness," engirdling the soul's vast dome;
For her, the skies send down their life-reviving rains,
And Lightnings' flash electric balm for human pains;
All Nature ceaseless swarms with pure remedial stores,
Which she from ever pitying hands benignant pours!
Here rests the Muse! - the eagle in his utmost flight
Can never reach yon distant, dazzling orb of light,
Though upward soaring far beyond a mortal's eye,
His rocky nest he builds but just beneath the sky!
So soars the Muse, borne upward on the grateful breath
Of millions rescued from the stings of pain and death,
' Till forced to stop where Time's millennial height is trod
And mortals reach the spot that's but a step to God!
But mind that never dies ne'er stops its endless flight
Until its vision rests in all-pervading Light!
So he whose Heav'n-born Genius comes to bless mankind,
And stamp ennobling truths upon the human mind,
Leaves there his monument, a never-dying spark,
Which bright and brighter glows when suns and stars grow dark'
Wakes the first warblings of deep thought's immortal song,
Whose swelling notes eternal ages shall prolong;
While from'the crest of every heaving wave of souls
That o'er Death's dark and narrow gulf successive rolls,
The joyous anthems of the grateful upward rise,
And heavenly winds forever waft them thro' the skies!
Our Master's glorious advent day is well nigh o'er! -
His praise shall die in echo on th' eternal shore!
His natal day dawned on a doomed and suffering world;
This closes with the heavenly Flag of Hope unfurled;
On every breeze it floats through earth's remotest clime,
And Science claims it as the noblest work of Time!
A single stream can never fill the Ocean's bed!
A single voice ne'er tell the glory round his head!
The living monuments of his immortal fame,
Shall far outlast the solid rock that bears his name!
In everlasting ruby-vaults he sits enshrined,
Earth's noblest Genius! - Benefactor of Mankind!
