Abstract
The important relation of the physician to the community makes it seem proper to discuss before this audience, in which there are many non-medical persons, a question which is very imperfectly understood by those outside of medical circles. The public at large does not understand the position assumed toward homeopathy and homeopathic doctors, by those physicians who decline to accept all sectarian designations. Surprise is not infrequently expressed at the unwillingness of a non-sectarian physician to meet a homeopathic neighbor in medical consultation, though the social relations of the two may be most cordial. This paper is an endeavor to show the causes of this apparent anomaly. Its most important aim is to hasten the time when all honorable persons engaged in preventing, alleviating and curing disease will refuse to be designated by adjectives implying, or seeming to imply, that they do not adopt every means or method of actionKeywords
