Comparison.
Allopathic
treatment
is
said
to
be
experimental,
while
Homeopathic
treatment
is
based
on
certainty,
resulting
from
experience.
The
allopathist
tries
various
drugs,
and
if
one
medicine
or
one
combination
of
drugs
fails,
tries
another;
but
the
homoeopathist
administers
only
such
medicaments
as
may
be
indicated
by
the
symptoms
of
the
patient.
If
two
drugs
are
given,
as
is
frequently,
and
perhaps
generally,
the
case,
it
is
because
the
symptoms
exhibited
are
of
such
a
character
that
they
cannot
be
produced
in
a
healthy
person
by
the
action
of
one
and
the
same
drug,
and,
consequently
cannot
be
counteracted
or
neutralized
by
the
action
of
a
single
drug.

Homoeopathic
Medicines
Homoeopathic
medicines
are
given
in
the
form
of
globules
or
tinctures,
the
latter
being
generally
preferred
by
homeopathic
practitioners.
When
contrasted
with
the
doses
of
drugs
given
by
allopathists,
the
small
doses
administered
by
homoeopathists
must
at
first
sight
appear
wholly
in
adequate
to
the
purpose
for
which
they
are
given;
but
homoeopathists,
whose
dilution
and
trituration
diffuse
the
drug
given
throughout
the
vehicle
in
which
it
is
administered,
argue
that
by
this
extension
of
its
surface
the
active
power
of
the
drug
is
greatly
increased;
and
that
there
is
reason
in
this
argument
is
shown
by
the
fact
that
large
doses
of
certain
drugs
administered
for
certain
purposes
will
pass
through
the
system
without
in
any
way
affecting
those
organs,
which
will
be
acted
on
most
powerfully
by
the
very
same
drugs
when
administered
in
much
smaller
doses.
Thus
a
small
dose
of
sweet
spirit
of
nitre
will
act
on
the
skin
and
promote
perspiration,
but
a
large
dose
will
act
as
a
diuretic
only,
and
exert
no
influence
on
the
skin.
