Summary note
Traces the still popular alternative healing movement's divergent schools of thought and niche in 19th and early 20th century US medicine. The author critically treats homeopathy's origins in Samuel Hahnemann's ideas through its decline as an academic system of medicine as biomedicine became the dominant paradigm. Illustrations feature homeopathic practitioners, schools, hospitals, and a cartoon depicting the homeopathic vs. allopathic medicine debate. Historic and modern homeopathic resources are listed.
