Welcomes an advertisement for the London Homeopathic Hospital under the Duchess of Cambridge's patronage, not least because homeopathy gives 'certain and instantaneous relief' with only 'the billionth part of a grain of medicine'. Ironically wonders why the hospital has not published details of those cases in which homeopathy has cured fractures and dislocation, or publicized the decisions of the Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Surgeons to make the award of their diplomas dependent on 'walk[ing]' the hospital's wards. |
