About this book
Frederick Hiller brings established medical practice before an imagined court of common sense in this address from 1872. Arguing for homoeopathy, he challenges the authority of inherited theories and asks his audience to scrutinize medicine as closely as other institutions. Statements attributed to prominent physicians become his witnesses, each offered as evidence of uncertainty within the methods he opposes.
Samuel Hahnemann gives the argument a personal focus. Hiller recounts his experiments with medicines, his writing and teaching, and the appointments that supported his work. Religious conviction runs through this account, presenting the search for remedies as an expression of divine care. As a historical argument by an advocate, the address shows how professional criticism, biography and faith could work together in a medical dispute. Readers can examine Hiller's persuasive methods and his portrayal of Hahnemann while keeping the claims within their nineteenth-century setting.
