Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Practice of Domestic Medicine I am glad to know, however, that the people are be ginning to think and act for themselves, and when they do, they naturally cast around for the best means of preserv ing health. There is a growing disposition to emancipate themselves from the tyrannical rule of a class of men, claiming to embody all the wisdom and knowledge that has ever been attained in the healing art. This class style themselves regular physicians, I, claiming the privilege that they take, style them Allopaths, or regular quacks, who deal out calomel, arsenic, and opium; who cauterize blister and leech, regardless of the constitution or condi tion of their patients.
