Willis Alonzo Dewey 1858 - 1938Professor of Anatomy and Chair of Materia Medica at the Hahnemann Medical College of the Pacific, the Metropolitan Post Graduate School of Medicine, New York City and the University of Michigan.
He was also editor of the ”California Homœopath” and the The Medical Century. His books are still used by modern homeopaths.
During Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, which killed up to 50 million people worldwide, homeopathic physicians in the U.S. reported very low mortality rates among their patients, while flu patients treated by conventional physicians faced mortality rates of around 30 percent.

HOMEOPATHY IN INFLUENZA-A CHORUS OR FIFTY IN HARMONY
By W. A. Dewey, M. D., University of MichiganIn a plant of 8,000 workers we had only one death. The
patients were not drugged to death. Gelsemium was practically
the only remedy used. We used no Aspirin and no vaccines
--Frank Wieland, M. D., Chicago.
Absence of the customary drugging was also an element of
the remarkable success in this plant.—Burton Haseltine, M. D.
Chicago.
There is one drug which directly or indirectly was the cause
of the loss of more lives than was influenza itself. You all
know that drug. It claims to be Salicylic acid. Aspirin's history
has been printed. Today you don't know what the sedative action
of Salicylic acid is. It did harm in two ways. Its indirect action
came through the fact that Aspirin was taken until prostration
resulted and the patient developed pncumonia.-Frank L. New-
ton, M. D., Somerville, Mass.
I did not lose a single case of influenza; my death rate in
the pneumonias was 2.1%. The salycilates, including Aspirin
and Quinine, were almost the sole standbys of the old school and
it was a common thing to hear them speaking of losing 60% of
their pneumonias.—Dudley A. Williams, M. D., Providence R. I,
Three hundred and fifty cases and lost one, a neglected pneu-
monia that came to me after she had taken one hundred grains
of Aspirin in twenty-four hours.-Cora Smith King, M. D.,
Washington, D. C.
Dean W. A. Pearson of Philadelphia collected 26,795 cases of
influenza treated by homeopathic physicians with a mortality of
1.05%, while the average old school mortality is 30%.My low death rate at Camp Lee was due entirely to the fact
that I avoided the use of Aspirin absolutely. I was complimenteri
by the chief medical officer as having the lowest death rate in
the hospital. After the medical chief had noted the effect of
Aspirin on the blood and the results which I was having in using
Homeopathy he discouraged the use of Aspirin and the death

rate came down very rapidly after that ruling.-Carleton A.
Harkness, M. D., Chicago.
In Hahnemann Hospital of San Francisco, homeopathic
remedies acted in a curative way while, with some other forms
of treatment, the result was only palliative.-Laura A. Hurd,
M. D., San Francisco.
Fifteen hundred cases were reported at the Homeopathic
Medical Society of the District of Columbia with but fifteen
deaths. Recoveries in the National Homeopathic Hospital were
100%.-E. F. Sappington, M. D., Philadelphia.
I attended over one hundred cases without any fatalities. I
never deviated from the homeopathic remedy. I never gave
Aspirin. One case that was loaded with Aspirin before I saw
him, referred to me from an old school physician, died. This
epidemic should encourage us to renewed faith in Homeopathy.
--G. H. Wright, -M. D., Foresi Glen, Md.
The German Aspirin has killed more people than the German
bullets killed.--C. J. Loizeaux, M. D., Des Moines, Iowa.
I remember Acetanilid in the epidemic of 1889 and its fatal-
ities. In this epidemic I knew that Aspirin and the coal tar
products would kill more people than the disease itself and it has
so proved. One old school physician told me that he had gotten
wise to the fact that Aspirin was killing his patients and that he
had stopped using it and was relying on homeopathic and eclectic
remedies.-E. B. Finney, M. D., Lincoln, Neb.
Thirty physicians in Connecticut responded to my request for
data. They reported 6,602 cascs with 55 deaths, which is less
than 1%. In the transport service I had 81 cases on the way
over. All recovered and were landed. Every man received
homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31 on the way.-H. A.
Roberts, M. D., Derby, Conn.
Homeopathy saved patients with influenza and pneumonia,
ill luck always followed the coal tar derivatives, Aspirin espe-
cially.-W. H. Hanchett, M. D., Omaha, Neb.
Through the International Hahnemannian Association I have
collected over 17,000 cases of influenza with a mortality of 4%.
-G. B. Stearns, M. D., New York.
I had 300 cases and one death; one good homeopathic doctor
had 275 cases and no deaths. I am health officer of my city.
One old school man had 294 cases and reported 15 deaths.
Aspirin and Iodized lime were the remedies used by the oli
school.-H. H. Crum, M. D., Ithaca, N. Y.

I treated 455 cases of influenza and 26 cases of pneumonia
with no deaths. Remedics: Gelsomium, Bryonia. Epis, cte.
-T. G. Barnhill, M. D., Findlay, Ohio.
The importance of homeopathic remedies has been empha-
sized; 24 out of 42 cases who used vaccines had influenza and
there were 8 cases of pneumonia-so vaccines as a prophylactic
failed.-W. L. Love, M, D., Brooklyn.
Eleven men reported 3,600 cases with 6 (leaths. My records
show 750 cases with one death. Gelsomium, Bryonia and Eupa-
torium werc the remedies chiefly.-F. A. Swartwout, M. D.,
Washington, D. C.
The more Aspirin, Codein, Dobell's solution and other extra-
homeopathic remedies used the slower the recovery.-James II'.
Ward, M. D., San Francisco.
The mortality rate in a camp was for pneumonia 25.8%.
The licutenant in charge was persuaded to discontinue Ispirin,
Digitalis and Quinine and the mortality dropped speedily to 156
with no medicine whatever. This was in one ward. Where-
upon it was ordered in other wards and the mortality «Iropped to
15% with no medicinc.-W. A. Pearson, M. D., Philadelphia.
I treated 618 cases and had 5 (leaths. Three of these had hai
allopathic treatment.-R. S. Faris, M. D., Richmond, Va.
One physician in a l'ittsburgh hospital asked a nurse if shc
knew anything better than what he was cloing, because hic was
losing many cases. “Yes, Doctor, stop Aspirin and go down to
a homeopathic pharmacy, and get homeopathic remedies." The
Doctor replied: “But that is Ilomeopathy." “I know it, but the
homeopathic doctors for whom I have nursed have not lost a
single case."—W.F. Edmundson, M. D., Pittsburgh.
It is a rare thing for pneumonia to develop iſ a good home-
opathic physician is called during the first 24 hours of an attack
of influenza. An appalling death rate comes from the haneful
results of large doses of Aspirin, salicylates and opium prepara-
tions.-A. H. Grinimer, M. D., Chicago
Murplıy, of Lansing, Michigan, treated 323 cases of influenz::
in a camp where the mortality had been 20%, while the mortality
under his homeopathic treatment was less than 3%.-W. H. Wil-
son, M. D., Chicago.
I have treated 1,000 cases of influenza. I have the records
to show my work. I have no losses. Mcase give all credit to
Homeopathy and none to the Scotch-Irish-American !—T. A. Mc-
Cann, M. D., Dayton, Ohio.

HOMEOPATHY IN INFLUENZA-DEWEY

In the month of October, 1918, I treated, in round numbers,
200 cases of influenza without a death.—W. R. Andrews, M. D.,
Mannington, W. Va.
Dr. M. I. Boger of Portsmouth, N. H., trcatcd 331 cases
with 2 deaths. Dr. G. G. Bascom of Lake Wilson, Minn., 300
cases with no deaths.-E. C. Prica, M. D., Baltimore.
The word Homeopathy stands for so much that is good and
true and useful in the medicinal therapy of the year of our
Lord 1919.-(). S. Haines, M. D., l'hiladelphia.
I liave treated 267 cases of influenza. No deaths.-A. B.
llawes, M. D., Bridgewater, S. D.
In one month treated 65 cases of influenza with one death
and that in a tubercular case.-F. C. Thornhill, M. D., Alma,
Mich.
One of the principal druggists of Montreal told Dr. T. A.
McCann that they had lost 900 patients from influcnza. Being
asked what drug they used most he replied that Aspirin was
used more than all other drugs combined. The directions were
to take a 5-grain tablet every three hours, but more took ten
grains every three hours. Comment is unnccessary.
Seventy-six cascs (levcloped in the Children's Ilome without
any complicating pneumonia or death. Most of the cases were
on Bryonia and Gelsemium, which seemed to be successful in
carrying them through to complete recovery.-J. G. Dillon, M. D.,
largo, N. D.
It has been my experience that Gelsemium was most always
the first remedy and served the purpose well in early conditions.
-E. B. I looker, M. D., Hartford, Conn.
I had a package handed to me containing 1,000 Aspirin tal-
lets, which was 994 too many. I think I gave about a half dozen.
I could find no place for it. My remedies were few. I almost
invariably gave (ielsemium and Bryonia. I hardly ever lost a
case if I got there first, unless the patient had been sent to a
(Irug store and bought Aspirin, in which event I was likely to
have a case of pneumonia on my hands.-J. P. Huff, M. D..
Olive Branclı, Ky.
Aspirin and the other coal tar products are condemned as
causing great numbers of unnecessary caths. The omnipresent
Aspirin is the most pernicious drug of all. It beguiles by its
quick action of relief of pain, a relief which is but meretricious.
In several cases Aspirin weakeneil the heart, clepressed the vital
forces, increased the mortality in mild cases and made conva-

lescence slower. In all cases it masks the symptoms and render:
immeasurably more difficult the selection of the curative remedie
Apparently Aspirin bears no curative relation to any disease and
it ought to be prohibited.—Guy Beckly Stearns, M. D., New York.
One thousand eclectic physicians were asked to name the
remedies most useful in influenza and in pneumonia. Over
75% named Aconite and Bryonia in pneumonia.-Lloyd Broth-
crs, Cincinnati.
Experimental research conducted in the Hygienic Laboratory,
Washington, D. C., failed to show any evidence in favor of
vaccine in pneumonia. "Imagine such a confession relative to
our own well-tried remedies, Gelsemium, Rhus tox., Eupatorium,
etc., whose indications are fixed, definite, unchangeable and per-
manent."—Homcopathic Recorder, October, 1920.
In the Public Health service in New Mexico among the
Mexican population chiefly Veratrum viride, Gelsemium and
Bryonia were introduced and excellent results followed their use
in influenza. No cases died under homeopathic medication.-C.
E. Fisher, M. D., Chicago.
The reasons why children fared better than adults in the
influenza epidemic were, first, thcy were seen earlier by the
physician; second, they were not drugged with “sure cures”;
third, they were not filled up with Aspirin; fourth, they were
put to bed; and fifth, they were given the proper remedy and
had a fine chance.-Dr. J. P. Cobb, Chicago.
All of the people under my care who died of influenza had
of their own accord taken Aspirin before I saw them.-W. P.
Best, M. D., Indianapolis.
There may be some hearts that can withstand Aspirin; there
may be some hearts that can withstand influenza; but there are
no hearts that can withstand both Aspirin and influenza.--Dr.
Taylor, Philadelphia.
Gelsemium does not depress the heart and is superior to
Aspirin and other coal tar derivatives in all particulars for
La Grippe.-J. A. Munk, M. D)., Los Angeles.
Many patients had been advised to take Aspirin as a prophy-
lactic against influenza and influenza pneumonia. One lady had
taken 240 grains in 48 hours. She was sent to the hospital
diagnosed as scarlet fever because of the red spots on her body.
Many cases who came to the hospital (Haynes Memorial) were
filled up with Aspirin, Codein, Morphine and Digitalis. Men in
government work praised our hospital for its homeopathic treat-

ment in influenza. They do not all agree, however, but they have
a feeling in Boston that we have a wonderful treatment for
influenza.-Samuel Clement, M. D., Boston.
During the "flu” period almost every victim got his Aspirin.
Almost everybody believed in it because it relieved his distress
and “couldn't do him any harm.” The result was that thousands
died who might have lived had they been willing to bear dis-
comfort for a little while. They died like flies around a plate of
poison although "science" did all that could be done to "save"
them.--A. F. Stevens, M. D., St. Louis.
We treated over 300 cases of influenza among the members
of the Student Army Training Corps with no deaths. Gelsemiun,
Bryonia and Ferum phosphoricum were the leading remedies.
Only in those cases having had Aspirin was convalescence delayed
and pneumonia produced.-C. B. Stouffer, M. D., Ann Arbor.
In some 150 cases treated in the first “Flu" cpidemic Gel-
semium and Bryonia were the chicf remcdies. Very few had
pneumonia, none that I treated from the beginning. Only one
died under my care, a man of sixty, having had asthma and
brought into our Minnesota climate in the midst of a severe win-
ter, a truly septic pneumonia.—Wm. E. Leonard, M. D., Min-
neapolis.
I treated approximately 50 cases of influenza, had two pncu-
monias, one in a pregnant woman. All recovered. Remedies
Gelsemium, Bryonia and Rhus, chiefly.--Wm. Boericke, M. D.,
San Francisco.
I treated over 100 cases of influenza and pneumonia, lost two
cases, one who had taken Aspirin for a week when pneumonia
developed before I was called; the other a very malignant case
with very high temperature from the onset. Remedies : Gel-
semium, Eupatorium, Bryonia, etc.-C. P. Bryant, M. D., Seattle.
I treated approximately 500 cases which included much pneu-
monia, lost two cases; never used Aspirin nor permitted it to be
used. . Chief drugs used were Belladonna, Gelsemium, Sticta for
the throat symptoms, Mercurius, Natrum muriaticum and Kali
muriaticum-A. B. Palmer, M. D., Seattle.
A permanent international association for the prevention of
tuberculosis, composed of representatives of all nations signatory
to the League of Nations covenant and of the United States, was
formied, October 19th, at an international antituberculosis con-
ference in Paris. The first meeting will be held in the fall of
1921 at London.

"Willis Alonzo Dewey", der so gehandelt wird als hätte ER etwas beschrieben, hat in Wahrheit bloß eine Reihe von Zitaten zusammengestottert. Eine saubere, echte Quellenangabe gibt es nicht.

while the average old school mortality is 30%."Dieses eine, so harmlos aussehende Wort
"average" macht aus einem kleinen Grüppchen von Toten (vielleicht 3 Tote in einem Haus mit 10 Personen) eine riesige Menge von Toten, und die Todesrate des kleinen Zirkels (irgendwo in der Pampa) gilt plötzlich ganz allgemein: FÜR ALLE!
Dabei hätte schon Pearson sehen müssen , daß seine Zahlen eine verlogene Scheiße sind. Wie wir oben schon gesehen haben, waren in Philadelphia mehr als 100.000 Menschen an Influenza erkrankt:

The 1918 Spanish Influenza: Three Months of Horror in Philadelphia
Christina M. Stetler Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation
In the fall of 1918, the world came to a virtual standstill while Spanish influenza raged. In the United States, no other city suffered more than Philadelphia. The virus entered via the Philadelphia Navy Yard, arriving on a ship from Boston. As soldiers fell victim to the virus, city authorities believed the outbreak was under control and continued with plans to kick off the Fourth Liberty Loan drive with a parade September 28. After 200,000 people jammed the parade route, the virus exploded in the civilian population. For three months, hundreds of thousands of Philadelphians battled the virus, which, at the end, took over 13,000 lives. Schools, churches, saloons, and theaters closed, thirty-two emergency hospitals opened, and burying the dead became almost impossible. By November, the disease receded, and while the flu continued into the spring, its virulence decreased. As quickly and deadly as it struck Philadelphia, the influenza epidemic receded from collective memory and, largely forgotten, is barely mentioned in discussions of World War I.

Hunderttausende waren erkrankt. Wären es 100.000 Erkrankte gewesen, hätte es bei den 30 Prozent Todesrate, die "Dr." D.W. Pearson (Philadelphia, Penn) behauptet, 30.000 Tote gegeben. Hat es aber nicht! Es waren nur rund 14.000 Tote.
Jeder mit auch nur einer halben funktionsfähigen Hirnzelle sieht sofort, daß 14.000 Tote bei 100.000 Erkrankten nur 14 Prozent sind, und nicht 30 Prozent. Es waren aber mehrere hunderttausend Kranke, so daß die wahre Todesrate noch weit unter 14 Prozent liegen muß. Und das nach dem Wissen von damals, von 1919, 1920 und 1921.
Aber nein, es wird gelogen, daß sich die Balken biegen. Pearson ist ein Lügner. Dewey ist ein verlogener Stümper. Und die heutigen Nachbeter dieser Lügen sind zu dumm und zu faul, die Zahlen richtig zu überprüfen.
Diesem Pack soll man sein Leben anvertrauen? NIE IM LEBEN!
Eine Anmerkung noch zu dem etliche Male erwähnten Aspirin: teilweise wurden den Kranken von "normalen" Ärzten astronomisch hohe Dosen Aspirin verabreicht. Diese Dosis war oft so hoch, daß die Kranken dadurch vergiftet wurden und durch das Aspirin starben. Außerdem ist das Aspirin ein Blutverdünner, der bei einer Krankheit, die innere Blutungen auslösen kann (wie Influenza), das verkehrteste ist, was man sich vorstellen kann.
Kein Aspirin zu geben hat also Leben gerettet. Das wurde in späteren Jahren festgestellt, als man genauere Diagnosemöglichkeiten hatte und die Vorgänge bei einer Influenza-Infektion sauber untersuchen konnte. "Man" ist aber nicht die Homöopathiemafia, sondern wissenschaftlich arbeitende Mediziner!
