Sir, - I note your report on a recent homeopathic conference. Dr Moskowitz is reported as saying that inoculation of children is ineffective. Ask WHO and UNICEF what they think.
Miss Jane Tottenham, President of the Irish Society of Homeopathy is reported as explaining that the basis of homeopathy is that patients are given minute doses of a substance in order to stimulate the body's own healing power. This seems to me to be quite a good description of the mechanism of action of immunisation. - Yours, etc., (Prof) Denis G Gill,
Department of Paediatrics, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.
