    prompt and satisfactory recourse to the physician which the patron of Homoeopathy is so free to exercise, we possess a great instrumentality for good, both as regards the sick, society, and the science we are privileged to represent. The non-interference with nutrition in therapeutics is the balance-sheet which registers and controls the nutritive repairs and expenses of the economy. We should succeed as poorly without it as would the engi- neer in driving the locomotive through a blinding storm with neither fuel nor water to feed and supply its giant energies. But it is time to bring these remarks to a close. I have dwelt upon the lesser virtues of the system, first set forth in a clear and comprehensive manner by the illustrious Hahnemann, for the simple reason that they confirm the value of such as are of a larger growth. As in the field of the microscope the minutest crystal is recognized by its characteristic form and properties ; so, in the field of observation, you shall see these lesser grains of truth preserving their own peculiar symmetry of proportion, and crystalizing about a central nucleus of benificence which is at once its own solace and reward.
