This article examines the interactions between homeopathy and maternal values in the nineteenth century through a case study of Montreal's homeopathic community and the Montreal Homeopathic Hospital, which opened in 1894. Through an analysis of women's diverse roles within the institution, it demonstrates the variety of ways in which maternalism found expression. It argues that the maternal ideology was particularly compatible with homeopathy's self-proclaimed mission to the poor, the emphasis it placed upon inculcating familial values within the homeopathic community, its appeal to women as patients, its claim to reduce child mortality, and the image it cultivated of the special role of the homeopathic mother.
本文通过对1894年开业的蒙特利尔顺势疗法社区和蒙特利尔顺势疗法医院的案例研究，探讨了19世纪顺势疗法与母性价值观之间的相互作用。通过分析女性在该机构中的不同角色，它展示了母性主义得以体现的多种方式。它认为，母性意识形态与顺势疗法自称对穷人的使命、它在顺势疗法社区中对灌输家庭价值观的重视、它对女性患者的吸引力、它声称降低儿童死亡率以及它所塑造的顺势疗法母亲的特殊角色形象特别契合。
