Observations from James Tyler Kent American physician 1849-1916

A number of times a patient has said, ” Dr, did you intend to take away that fatty tumour I had on my back ?”. The chances are that I did not know he had one. That is generally the way such things appear in the practice of the Homeopathic physician, for he does not prescribe for the tumour, he gives the constitutional medicine and tumours, warts, lipomas often disappear after a while, and the patient thinks the Dr has done a wonderful thing. He gets more glory and credit for curing a wart than he does for curing the patient. The Dr. who prescribes correctly turns the vital state in to order.
