Some Aspects of Homeopathy

Based on a Dissertation read before the Royal Medical Society on Friday, 13th November. 1964.Homoeopathy has existed as a branch of medicine for over one hundred and fifty years and its practitioners in this country are all fully qualified medical men. There are seven homoeopathic hospitals within the framework of the National Health Service and Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester are both Patrons of the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital. In 1950 Parliament passed the Faculty of Homoeopathy Act whereby the Faculty was legally recognised and its objects defined. Now these are real achievements and although they mean nothing in terms of proving the validity of Homoeopathy they do mean we cannot turn a blind eye and ignore the whole subject completely
