Excerpt from Cui Bono? And What Nature, What Art Does in the Cure of Disease: Two Introductory Lectures Delivered in the Medical College of Ohio, Sessions of 1872-3 and 1873-4 The former unanimity in favor of the efficacy of blood letting in fever, of calomel in certain inflammations, is only equaled by the present disbelief in the reality of those experiences. A science of therapeutics built on faith and experience is, therefore, to the last degree un stable. How, then, shall we ascertain the worth of our rem edies?' We must apply to this inquiry the scientific tests which, in other departments of knowledge, yield exact results. If, applying these scientific methods, we find underlying our uses of remedies a basis of scien tific verity, then, indeed, may we hope to see the art of cure take its place among the exacter sciences. If, however, our so-called therapeutical facts do not respond to scientific questionings; if we have no other arguments in support of them than faith, and an experience as vague as it is delusive, then may our souls be possessed with the fear that drug-giving is a hollow mockery.
