Example Sentences
- "The source of all these pernicious results of palliative antipathic treatment, and the salutary effects proceeding from the reverse method, the homœopathic, will be sufficiently explained in the following observations which are drawn from experience and a number of facts that have hitherto escaped the notice of every one save myself, although they were immediately before the view, perfectly evident in their nature, and of the deepest importance to the medical art."
- "This sham and duplicity cannot be longer excused or tolerated. Those who recommend and bodily use antipathic methods should announce themselves as allopaths and train with that school of practice, and no longer misrepresent and dishonor the homeopathic system."
- "The opposite of treatment by similars is treatment by contraries, and Hahnemann called this practice antipathy. Giving aspirin to lower fever or prescribing antihypertensive drugs to treat high blood pressure are examples of antipathic medicine."
