Excerpt from Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned From Forty Years Practice The eclectic remedies mentioned in this book, especially the tinctures, are Lloyd's Specific Medicines. Many years' experience has proved them to be thoroughly reliable and convenient for dispensing. Prof. John Uri Lloyd, with his definite remedies, has done more to make converts for the Eclectic School of Medicine than any man in it. Outside of the eclectic physicians who use specific medicines, there are twenty thousand physicians of the regular school that depend upon these remedies to heal the sick. I have bought my homeopathic remedies for forty years of Boericke & Tafel, of Philadelphia, and know them to be perfectly reliable. Most of the tinctures and triturates are now put up in tablet form, a tablet representing a grain of the drug. This makes the remedies very convenient for dispensing and acceptable to the patient.

In testing remedies I do it in my own way and form my own opinion of what a remedy will accomplish, and when and how it should be given. As an example of how I test remedies, I used one hundred pint bottles of tincture echinacea on different cases of cancer before I became satisfied in my mind that echinacea will not check the growth of cancer. In all my writings I have been very careful about the statements that I made concerning a remedy, unless it had been tested by myself, not upon rats, mice, and rabbits, but at the bedside of the sick.
