THURSDAY, March 30.  Visit Dr. Newham, and take him through “a course of medicine.”  This last expression frequently appears in Brother Kline’s Diary.  The phrase, “course of medicine,” was first introduced by Dr. Samuel Thompson, the founder and propagator of what afterwards assumed the name of “The Thompsonian System of Medical Practice.”  To the minds of many very worthy and sensible people in Virginia and other States, Dr. Thompson’s definitions of disease, and his corresponding views of their treatment, appeared quite reasonable.  They met with great favor in some communities, and by many were enthusiastically received.  Among the latter Brother John Kline stood in the foremost rank.  He espoused the “Theory and Practice of Dr. Samuel Thompson” with unreserved confidence.  In his zeal to do good with it he furnished the medicines and administered them to hundreds of the afflicted; and to many free of charge.
