The
Principles and Fundations
of the
Emunctory System
Constituting the body of Health knowledge of the Emunctory System
"History teaches us that the views of modern times constantly revert to those points which were regarded by earlier observers as settled, and thus, particularly nowadays, when so few have leisure for the historical study of science, there is perhaps ample justification for bringing old notions within the intellectual view of a succeeding generation."
- R. Virobow's Preface to his “Gesammelte Abhandlungen zur Wissenschaftlichen Medicin” 1856
“Where a truth is made out by one demonstration, there needs no further inquiry; but in all probability where there wants demonstration to establish the truth beyond doubt, then it is not enough to trace one argument to its source and observe its strength and weakness, but all the arguments, after having been so examined on both sides, must be laid in the balance, one against another; and upon the who let he under standing determines its as sent.” - John Locke on the Conduct of the Understanding.
