Allopathy is the name given to the older treatment of disorders, and
the name is obtained from the fact, that the drugs given, do not
produce symptoms corresponding to those of the disease for whose
relief they are administered as in homoeopathy. The introduction of
the term is contemporary with homoeopathy itself. It was merely given
to define briefly the distinction that exists between the rival modes
of treatment, and it has been accepted and adopted by all medical men
who have no faith in homoeopathy, and the treatment that its followers
prescribe.
