THE FIGHT AGAINST RHEUMATISM
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Dr. Copeman's article in The Spectator of August 13th is illuminating and informative. He admits that orthodox medi- cine is pretty much in the dark as regards the treatment of rheumatism in its different forms.
In enumerating the various remedies Dr. Copeman does nor mention homoeopathy, which has had a considerable measure of success. Even when it may not prove entirely successful homoeopathy does not have any bad effect on the heart and other important organs as do the salicylics, the baths and the sweatings of orthodox medicine.
Dr. Copeman says truly that there is no general panacea for rheumatism, and that each case must be treated on its merits. This is just what homoeopathy does—it treats the patient according to his symptoms and not the disease name. No two cases are alike in cause and form.—I am, &c.,
CHAS. MACQUARIE.
