The Treatment of-Rheumatism, Epilepsy, Asthma, and Fever, being Clinical Lectures
delivered at the London Homoeopathic Hospital by Dr. Rutherford Russell. (Leith and Ross.)—We shall not be expected even to have an opinion on a scientific question like the truth or false-
hood of homoeopathic dogmas. We can only say of this volume that it is written with perfect candour, and in the style of purely scientific investigation,that it admits freely the comparative failure of homoeopathy to deal successfully with nervous diseases of the epileptic class, while it claims great and even remarkable success for the homoeopathic treatment of rheumatic fever and some other complaints. It is clear that Dr. Rutherford Russell is a convinced man, and that he is also a highly educated and very thoughtful writer on the diagnosis of disease. On the• question of treatment it would be absurd for us to profess an opinion.
