M Wilkins Guttridge was also a homeopath in Tasmania,

In 1898, M Wilkins Gutteridge was in Tasmania, leading research into homeopathy where a new hospital for women had recently opened. As a number of the Members of the Board were advocates of homeopathy, a ward was set aside for homeopathic treatment with Gutteridge in charge, which caused the usual storm of protests from the allopaths. By 1900, the allopaths had launched a major boycotting of Gutteridge in Launceston, and further boycots were in place against his collegues to the south of the island,
