Excerpt from Fallacies of the Faculty, Vol. 1: With the Principles of Chrono-Thermal Medicine
"Can you doubt the true reason that Physic is suspected of treachery to the patient - and, therefore, by many feared and avoided - and charged with the deaths at almost all the funerals? The Physician may, indeed, be the author of your ruin, but he is moved by another's hand. He is under the force and necessity of obeying the order and commands of those whom your folly has made his superiors; who cannot live if they suffer any instances of recovery without many doses."
"The Apothecary having the power in the family, has the liberty of naming what Physician he pleases; and, therefore, never fails to introduce one that will countenance his practice, and make large prescriptions. The young Physician, when he comes from the University, is quickly informed of this, and that he cannot hope to rise but through the Apothecary's recommendation; which, therefore, obliges him to follow the mode, and, consequently, hinders any reformation. The Roman senators expelled the Greek physicians for the same crimes which are here practised."
