Homœopathy and Its Kindred Delusions is a work by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., based upon two lectures he gave in 1842, Medical Delusions and Homœopathy.[1][2] The work criticizes homeopathy, which he considered to be akin to "astrology, palmistry and other methods of getting a living out of the weakness and credulity of mankind and womankind".[3] It is considered to be a classic text, one of Holmes' most important works,[4] as well as one of the earliest criticisms of homeopathy.[5][6]
