Excerpt from The British Journal of Homoeopathy, 1875, Vol. 33: With Which the Annals of the British Homoeopathic Society and the Annals of the London Homoeopathic Hospital Are Incorporated Now, it is clear that, while an art (and a very useful and practical art too) of medicine might conceivably be constructed by adopting the first of the above courses, it could scarcely attain to the dignity of a science, being, in fact, little more than the observation of coincidences which, however constant, are not mutually related in any way, so far as we know. The second course inevitably'leads to a science of some sort, true or false, and when this science is made the basis of practice its truth or falsity becomes fraught with the most beneficial or disastrous consequences. The respective relations of the drug and the disease to the tertium quid which we select as the connecting link between them, or rather as the object with which each admits of comparison, must inevitably give rise to a theory of pharmaco-dynamics, and on this theory the practice of medicine will be based. Hence the immense importance of, in the first place, being quite sure that this tertium quid has a real objective existence, and is not the mere product of our own fancy; in the latter case, indeed, the adjustment and classification of its relations with pathology and pharmacology, and the consequent mutual inter-relations of these, will be remarkably easy.
