Dispensatory, Iy John Redman Coxe, M. D, I
published iu ISO 6, at page 429 says tfiis;
touch, and n more, about Lobelia Intlala,
‘ Lobelia Injhta lias been used in leucorrhcea.’
That work was published thirty-two years
ago, but mentioned only one disease that
Lobelia was calculated to cure. And 1 think I
I am fully justified in stating that the phy
sician you saw use Lobelia thirty years ago,
it’not Tor leucorrhcea, must have” made an
empirical use of it, and yet at this day you
indirectly justify the empiricism of 1808. Dr. j
Cutler says that Lob lia is emetic and ca- j
lhartic, and Professor Itafinsque says that it.
has no cathartic effect whatever. Schoepf
mentions it only as an astringent and useful j
in opthaimia. Coxe says, ‘horses and cattle j
have been supposed to be killed by eating it
accidentally/ Rafinsque says he ‘was in
formed that some horses eat it on purpose to !
medicate themselves, and that the Indians
used it to clear their stomachs in their grand \
councils.’ Without occupying more time in ;
continuing the remarkable consistencies of
medical writers who have attempted to give’
tiieir opinions about Lobelia, l may briefly j
snv, that the most eminent Professors of]
Medical Colleges in the United States, ami j
Europe, use Lobelia, and speak of it as a
most invaluable acquisition to the Materia j
Medica; and I solemnly assert to you, sir,;
that those who deny the medical qualities j
attributed to it by Thompsonians, either are |
ignorant of the untruth of what they assert,!
or are gaily of an attempt to grossly mislead
others. Ido not pretend to deny that death
can be produced by it, nor can you but assu
redly admit that large quantities of the most
innocent article in nature can likewise destroy
life. But this much I can sav, with the ut
most and most abiding confidence in itruth,
that Lobelia inflata is the most unexception
able emetic now in use.
You very truly assert that Thompsonians
object to ‘ blood leiting.’ But they do not
deny its efficacy in alleviating pain, in many
instances; hut they know they have morel
efficient and less objectionable means, and j
arc as successful in their employment as those j
who practice venesection. ‘Poo many of the j
Botanic fraternity have enjoyed the advice!
and writings of medical authorities upon blood
letting, and they are not disposed to practice
that which so many condemn. Drs. Lob
stein, Thatcher and Hall, are sufficiently sa
tisfactory, and you might have further proven
the opposition of the Thompsonians to blood
letting to have been derived from the regular
practice, much like vour claiming for them
the balance of the Botanic system. 1 hope
you are fully prepared to admit that blood
letting has many opponents as well as admi- i
rers in the ranks of the regular physicians.
If you are not, by visiting the Medical Col
lege here, you may be satisfied. It is folly
fur me now to attempt an argument with
you on this subject, further Ilian to state that
blood letting is so unnatural and barbarous,
and senseless an operation, the greal wonder
i3, how any rational man can he so infatuated
as to adopt it, and how any patient can he
deluded enough to permit it, when he has
means of such superior efficacy at command,
and so less exceptionable. Your instance of
the patient ‘ being almost literally boiled and
baked,’ is too ridiculous and absurd to merit
notice, and its creation worthy only of the
cranium of those who oppose the botanic
practice.
Vou further truly assert that Thompsoni
ans oppose all the preparations of mercury.
Well, Sir, the Thomsonians have authority!
tor the opposition, to be found in more than
a hundred volumes of standard medical
works. Can you deny it, Sir ? You say ca
lomel and the blue pill arc good in ‘ skilful
hands,’ hut that is Mich a qualification that I
do not understand it. Do you mean in the
hands of a graduate of some Medical Col
lege? Why, Bir, the ‘ chief cook and bottle
washer’ of the Georgia Medical College is
no graduate of any medical institution —1
mean Dr. Milton Antony. But yet he stands
in good repute as a physician, and is quite a 1
talented writer, and at this time the editor of
the Southern Medical and Surgical Journal.
You must have too high a regard for truth j
to assert that every medical noviciate m the
country is skilful. And you adopt the prin- j
cii>le of analogy in finding and opposing the
Thomson!.in practice of medicine. But you
have failed. The operations of the various
tissues of the living annual are m direct op
position to almost every law of chemistry
and natural philosophy ; and any analogy
cited from antagonists must lie inappropriate.
“With ail your knowledge of physiology, pa
thology and therapeutics, you cannot tell
why epsom salts operates as a cathartic, and
ipecac as an emetic —then why, Sir, do you
attempt to be so learned and experienced?
Your objection to the Botanic practice of;
medicine, you seemingly assert to be, in con
sequence of the general want of talent among
its practitioners. Allow me to say to you,
sir, that talent and judgment do not go al
ways together; on the other hand, plain
practical men generally evidence more judg
ment than their more learned neighbors. But
tar be it from my intention to lessen the dig
nity of talent. I know too well that the Bo
tanic practice has suffered materially in con
sequence of the incompetencv of some prac
titioners ; but what system of medicine or
what department of science d-*es not suffer
under the directions of ignorant persons?—
Regular physicians object to families keeping
their little supplies of medicines, but the Bo
tanies recommend them to do so. Regular
physicians decry the use of medicines, with
out they recommend them, Botanies sav to
the people you can take and give medicine
as well as any doctor. For ten dollars a pri
vate family can he supplied with Thatcher’s
practice of medicine, Gunn’s, Buchan’s, and
-■'perhaps some two or three other popular
works on medical practice. These works
attentively read and studied, will quality any
man of 4 common to practice medicine
in the ranks of the old school. Thompson’s
two volumes are for domestic or family prac
tice. They are not regarded as a sufficient
source of information to qualify their pur
chasers to enter into the general talkative
practice of medic! n/. But if the public have
a well founded confidence in any practitioner,!
however ignorant he may be, they are fully j
justified in employing him. A man maybe!
a most excellent carpenter, but not know aj
single law in the science of theoretical me-j
—chatucs; and a man may a be most successful!
practitioner of medicine* and yet know noth-!
ing about medicine theoretically. When in-!
dividuals are sick they want to be cured, and
do not desire to listen to the endless techni
calities of their diseased organs. Catholics!
understand their Latin litany or mass, but i
plain Methodists and Baptists desire their i
preachers to adopt a language in which all
can understand them. The holy bible is
written in plain English language, but the
Catholic Missal is mostly Latin. Tite books
of regular physicians are written in an al
most unintelligible language, while Doctor
Thompson’s works are in plain English.—
Any person that can read the English lan
guage can understand Thompson’s works;
but it requires years of study to be able to
understand the works of medical writers of
the old school. The time employed by stu
dents in Medical Colleges is consumed almost
entirely in the study of technicalities. Their
therapeutic education, improved by clinical
advantages, is completed in a very short pe
riod, and that is,'in truth, die most important
information they receive.
Let me assure you, sir, that opposition to
the Botanic physicians, comes with a very
bad grace Iron) an M. D. 1 cannot permit
myself to believe that any respectable and in
telligent physician could be induced to volun
teer in the cause of opposition to the steamers,
if the Thompsonians were not circumscribing
j their regular practice, as well as tneir annual
i income. You seem to think that vou are ca*
pable of practising the botanic system, ido
not doubt your capacity, hut why not unfurl
your flag, “and put over your door, ‘ Regular
and Steam doctoring done here.’ You arro
! oate to your practice the credit of tiie steam
system, and yet you no doubt often sneer at
it, as the creation of an ignorant old man.
I would like very much to say something
more at length in relation to Lobelia, but I
fear that I am intruding 100 much upon the
limits of a newspaper. However, I can brief
ly say, that Lobelia is considered efficacious
and harmless bv such men as Professor Tal
ly, of Yale College, Prof. Waterhouse, for
merly of Harvard, Prof. Powell, of Burling
ton, Prof. McClellen, of Jefferson Medical
College, of Philadelphia, Prof. Eberle, late of
Cincinnati and Transylvania, Prof. Dugas, of
the Georgia Medical College,—but why con
tinue.'’ the paper that contains this artide
could barely publish the authorities and the
favorable notices of Lobelia which could he
adduced. Ail that is known against Lobelia
is the article which has (bond its wav into the
U. S. Dispensatory and been reflected from
it. Every candid and intelligent physician
knows that the reports circulated arraiust
it are for the purpose of injuring the Bota
nic practice, and for no other intention.
