This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

William Henry Holcombe was born on May 29, 1825 in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. He was third son of William James Holcombe and Ann Eliza (Clopton) Holcombe, and brother of James Philemon Holcombe.
Holcombe's early education was obtained at Washington College, later Washington and Lee University. He had just prepared to enter the junior class at Yale when his parents liberated their slaves and rejected a large property in slaves left them by a childless uncle. This procedure, so contrary to local public sentiment, forced the removal of the family to Indiana. Holcombe at once prepared himself in his father's office to study medicine and entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1847.
Holcombe remained with his father for three years, and then removed to Cincinnati, where he practised from 1850 to 1852. During this period he observed the excellent results of homeopathy in the treatment of cholera and became a convert to that system of therapeutics. In 1852 he settled in Natchez, Missouri, where he was associated in practice with Doctor F. A. W. Davis.
In 1853, he and Doctor Davis were appointed to the staff of the Mississippi State Hospital. Their appointment encountered such a storm of indignation on the part of the general medical profession that the state legislature investigated the action of the trustees, which was approved when it was shown that they had proceeded because of the superior results obtained by the homeopathists Davis and Holcombe in the yellow-fever epidemics and in other diseases.
In 1855 Holcombe removed to Waterproof, Louisiana, but in 1862 returned to Natchez and two years later settled in New Orleans which was his home thereafter. Although his parents had been pronounced exponents of emancipation, he came to believe in negro slavery as a just and necessary institution. After the election of Lincoln he published a pamphlet, The Alternative: A Separate Nationality, or the Africanization of the South (1860), in which he advocated the secession, peaceably if possible, of the Cotton States.
In 1874, at Niagara Falls, Holcombe was elected to the presidency of the American Institute of Homeopathy, but illness prevented him from serving at the session of 1875. His medical writings include: The Scientific Basis of Homoeopathy (1852), On the Nature and Limitations of the Homeopathic Law (1858), What is Homoeopathy (1864), and How I Became a Homoeopath (1869).
He published Our Children in Heaven (1868), The Sexes Here and Hereafter (1869), and The Other Life (1869), all of which passed through many editions and were reprinted in England; The End of the World, with New Interpretations of History (1881); Aphorisms of the New Life (1883); and many other works.
He died in 1893 at the residence of his son-in-law, in New Orleans.
