RESOLUTIONS.

ADOPTED JUNE 8, 1854.

Resolved, That we regard the homoeopathic law as coextensive with disease, and that a resort to any other medicinal means than those pointed out by the law similia similibus, is the result, in part, of the incompleteness of our Materia Medica, but mainly the result of a want of sufficient knowledge on the part of the physician, of those remedies already possessed by our school, and not of an insufficiency of the homoeopathic law.

Resolved, That the pharmaceutists of the homoeopathic school be recommended to use, in the preparation of drugs by trituration, the proportions of ten grains of the drug to ninety grains of sugar of milk; and, for the sake of uniformity, to retain the numerical designation adopted by Hahnemann, and continued by the majority of homoeopathic physicians.

ADOPTED JUNE 4, 1857.

Resolved, That it is the duty of the American Institute of Homœopathy to extend a fostering care to the homoeopathic medical colleges of the United States, and exert its influence in directing students of medicine who are seeking admission to the honors of the profession to their halls for instruction.

Resolved, That the American Institute of Homœopathy does not necessarily indorse the doctrines contained in the reports of committees by accepting and publishing such reports with the Proceedings.

ADOPTED JUNE 7, 1867.

Resolved, That, in the organization of life insurance companies which discriminate in favor of practical homoeopathists, we recognize an important instrumentality, which by showing the superiority of homoeopathic treatment, will contribute to the

more rapid adoption of the principles of medical science promulgated by the illustrious Hahnemann; and that, whenever practicable, the members of this Institute will give to such organization a united and cordial support.

ADOPTED JUNE 9, 1869.

Resolved, That the Bureau of Clinical Medicine be requested to give attention to the collection of clinical verifications of the symptoms contained in our Materia Medica, and to include such verifications in their reports, with whatever details they deem proper, giving credit to the authors.

Resolved, That the Institute invite State societies to co-operate in this work of clinical verification of the Materia Medica.

ADOPTED JUNE 8, 1870.

Resolved, That each member of the American Institute will best subserve the interest of homoeopathic medicine by using great care to avoid accepting any student of medicine into his office who does not or cannot give evidence of possessing the preliminary education recommended in the report of the Committee on Education.

Resolved, That the resolution relating to qualification apply to all students whose term of pupilage shall commence subsequent to the year 1870, and that every effort be made to acquaint the profession at large with the action of the Institute.

ADOPTED JUNE 9, 1874.

Resolved, That hereafter all provings by a single prover, presented through the Bureau of Materia Medica, Pharmacy, and Provings, be referred back to the bureau, to be retained by them. until a sufficient number of provings are obtained to warrant the bureau in collating the same and presenting them to the Institute for publication; and such collation and presentation shall be a part of the duty of that bureau.

ADOPTED JUNE 12, 1874.

Resolved, That the bureaus of the Institute that pertain to practical medicine and surgery be hereafter arranged in rotation, so that each one may come first in its turn in successive years.

ADOPTED JUNE 15, 1875.

Resolved, That Sectional Meetings of any bureau may be held

at the call of the chairman of that bureau, provided such meetings are not held during the sittings of the Institute.

Whereas, It is now a difficult matter to obtain mortuary reports from many of our cities and towns, therefore

Resolved, That this body would recommend to the members of the Institute, that they, in their respective cities and towns, where published reports are to be had, obtain and furnish annually to the Bureau of General Sanitary Science, Climatology and Hygiene, a copy of such published reports; and further, that when such reports are made up, State statistical mortuary reports be likewise sent to this bureau.

Resolved, That in States, cities, and towns where these reports are not made and published, they be urged to publish them for the general good of the country, as well as for local advantages.

ADOPTED JUNE 27, 1877.

Resolved, That all papers rejected by the Committee of Publication and not published with the Transactions of the Institute, be referred back to their authors by the General Secretary, to be disposed of as they may see fit.

ADOPTED JUNE 29, 1877.

Resolved, First. That the Committee of Arrangements in preparing the Order of Business for future meetings of the Institute, be requested to set apart a certain time for hearing reports from delegates from institutions and societies who may be present at the meeting, such reports to be limited to five minutes each.
