Book excerpt: Excerpt from The California Eclectic Medical Journal, 1911, Vol. 4: Incorporating the Los Angeles Journal of Eclectic Medicine and the California Medical Journal It is patent, then, to every independent observer, that to employ triturations does not relegate one to the realms of homeopathy. As much might the use of our specific medicines by many homeopaths, in exactly the manner in which we use them, and for the same purposes, confirm them as Eclectics. Undoubtedly many of these practitioners would be indignant if they were accused of being Eclectics. Such is the penalty of subserviency to creeds and dogmas. To independent minds such accusations bear no odium; for creeds and dogmas exert no influence for or against the curing of the sick.
