Excerpt from A Narrative of the Life and Medical Discoveries of Samuel Thomson: Containing an Account of His System of Practice, and the Manner of Curing Disease With Vegetable Medicine, Upon a Plan Entirely New To introduce a new system of medical practice and to make an entire change of the public Opinion on so im portant asubject, is an undertaking of too great magni tude to be effected without much ditheulty, let its supe riority over all others ibe ever so great; for whoever undertakes it must expect to have to contend against the interest of a large class of the community, and the pre, judices of the whole. That Dr. '1 homson has been able to etfect so much, is more surprising, than that he has not done more, for he has laboured under many dim culties besides being opposed by a powerful combination, whose interest it.is to keep the people back from adopt ing his practice. He has been obliged to satisfy the people Ofwhat is for their interest, as well as for their peace and happiness, against their own inclinations; and has pursued his plan with wonderful perseverance, and with an honest and determined zeal to do what he'thought to be his duty. He seems to have had in view more the public goodihan his own interest, for his whole plan has been to give information to the people, as well as to rec lieve them from disease; and to put it in their power to cure themselves and families in all cases of sickness, without deing under the necessity of employing a, doctor. Ln.pursuing this object he has spent'the best part of his days, and has received but a very small compensation for salt his labours; the pecuniary benefit that he has real izod for his practice and rights sold, would be no temp tation to any one to undergo the hundredth part of what he has suffered from persecution.
