Dewey.  Published in San Francisco, the bimonthly journal existed under this name until 1892, when it was replaced by The Pacific Coast Journal of Homeopathy.

March 2008. Miasms: Mere Theory or a Revolutionary Method of Analysis? (Vol. 12, #2)

This issue is dedicated to the study of miasmatic theory and practice in homeopathy. The role of miasms has always been controversial. Since Hahnemann first postulated the concept of miasms and which led him to elucidate his ideas in The Chronic Diseases, the homeopathic community has often been divided in its validity as a theory and its significance in homeopathic prescribing. The fact that there has been such a division and debate within the profession forces us to reevalue the foundations of miasmatic theory.
