Abstract
In October 1987 a paper was published in this journal1 attempting to assess the claims made by the British Homœopathic Society concerning the efficacy of the treatment of cholera at Golden Square during the 1854 epidemic. Details of the treatment were not available at that time and had to be deduced. This paper fills in those details. The view expressed then that homœopathy played a major part in bringing about substantially better results than the allopaths is reinforced. For background information the reader is referred to the original paper.Keywords
