Excerpt from American Eclectic Obstetrics
Yet it is not in accordance with Eclectic precepts and teachings to assume an arbitrary authority in any matters connected with the science of medicine; it is the right it is the imperative duty of every physician to thoroughly and impartially investigate every subject connected with his profession, no matter by whom presented; he can not, with any degree of justification, attach his medical faith to the sleeves of any man he alone is responsible for the health and lives of his patients and. After a fair examination of medical matters, it is equally his right and duty to pursue those views and measures which he has decided to be correct, carefully avoiding, however, every means which past experience has demonstrated to be injurious and deleterious to the human system. This is American Eclecticism. And that physician only. Who rigidly and honorably fol lows this plan, no matter in what school he may have graduated. Is the true American Eclectic. Therefore. While not desiring to authoritatively force any partial or sectarian views and treatment of Midwifery upon the Profession. The Author sincerely hopes that sufficient credence will be accorded to the state ments herein given. As to induce others to test and avail themselves of the reme dies and treatment which, in his estimation, are unequaled by any others known.
