Excerpt from Politics and Disease
My colleague and I have worked independently of one another in the production of this little book. Neither is accountable for the part written by the other, except such responsibility as attaches to myself as editor of the Series. We have long laboured together in the cause of emancipation from the errors and sins of State medicine. It would, however, be a mistake to suppose that either of us has any animus against the medical en profession. Neither the legitimate interests of that profession nor those of medical science are arrayed against us in the polemics we have raised. The practice of treating every assailant of superstition as an enemy of religion ought not to be taken over into science, the votaries of which are not exempt from ordinary human weaknesses and ought not to be exempt from ordinary judgment. The medical faculty, and especially the bureaucratic part of it, is very much in want of competent external criticism.
