During the nineteenth century homoeopaths claimed better results than their conventional colleagues did for the treatment of epidemic cholera. Those of the London Homoeopathic Hospital in 1854 have been put forward, for 150 years, as evidence of the efficacy of homoeopathy. The evidence is examined in this paper. Failure to inflict exhausting allopathic treatments must have contributed considerably to the homoeopathic success. However it appears probable that the homoeopathic remedies themselves played an active part in the successful treatment of cholera cases.
在19世纪，顺势疗法从业者声称，在治疗流行性霍乱方面，他们比传统医学同行取得了更好的疗效。1854年伦敦顺势疗法医院的治疗情况，在长达150年的时间里，一直被当作顺势疗法有效性的证据。本文对这一证据进行了审视。未采用使人精疲力竭的对抗疗法，这肯定在很大程度上促成了顺势疗法的成功。然而，顺势疗法药物本身似乎在霍乱病例的成功治疗中发挥了积极作用。
