force
★ Disease is sum of symptoms which are due to morbid phenomena of deranged vital
force
★ Totality of Symptoms are the sole indicators for the choice of similimum
APHORISM 8
REMOVAL OF SYMPTOM IS REMOVAL OF DISEASE

INIMICAL TO LIFE - THE DYNAMIC INFLUENCE- THE DYNAMIS
★ PATIENT EXPERIENCES DISAGREEABLE SENSATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
★ Natural phenomenon of tides, gravitational force, moon phases, magnetic energy.
★ Not mechanical
★ DYNAMIC
★ Dynamic action of disease producing agents e.g. small pox
★ Dynamic action of medicines on provers and patients
★ Not the action of atoms ( is it so difficult to understand)
★ Action of Dynamic energy hidden in medicinal substance acts on life energy of patient
★ Old school considers the MATERIAL cause of disease, denies DYNAMIC cause of
disease
APHORISM 12

★ LAW OF SIMILARS
APHORISM 19
STATE OF DISEASE restoration to STATE OF HEALTH
★ Disease is nothing more than alterations in the state of health of

the individual
★ Medicines have power to alter man’s state of health
★ They produce symptoms
★ Hence they cure the diseases
★ (The disease curing power is the disease producing power)
APHORISM 20
CURATIVE POWER OF MEDICINES - observations
★ The spirit like power of medicines to alter man’s state of health

★ It lies hidden in the inner nature of medicines
★ It is discovered not by reason but by experiencing the phenomena
★ Its action on healthy organisms (Drug Proving)
APHORISM 21
THE CURATIVE PRINCIPLE IN MEDICINE
MEDICINE REMEDY
★ Medicines possess power to alter state of man

★ When they cure the morbid symptoms of disease in patient called
as Remedy
★ The curative property of medicines is brought into play only by the
production of peculiar symptoms also can be called as morbid
symptoms in healthy person is due to this indwelling power.
APHORISM 22
ALLOPATHY
★ Heterogenous type of medicines

★ Not based on Similar law
★ Not based on Opposite law
APHORISM 23
ANTIPATHY
★ Symptoms of disease are removed by production of

opposite symptoms of medicines
★ ANTIPATHY ENANTIOPATHY ---- PALLIATIVE
★ But symptoms are not removed
★ They return again
★ With increased intensity
APHORISM 24
HOMOEOPATHY
★ MEDICINES WHICH ARE SIMILAR

★ Selected on totality of symptoms
★ Pathogenetic effects are known
★ Tested on healthy individuals
★ Medicines produce artificial morbid state similar to natural
disease
★ LAW OF SIMILARS
APHORISM 25
MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE: HOMOEOPATHY - THE HEALING ART
★ Experience after trials; The Healing Art is achieved by medicines acting curative
★ When the medicine has produced similar symptoms in healthy (prover) like those
observed in patient
★ Rapidly remove the symptoms
★ If given in proper dose and repetition
★ Old school physician gives complex prescription
★ Imagined cause of disease is in organ pathology, tried to cure
★ They couldn't understand the disease, the results and unknown cause
★ E.g. kaleidoscope
REVISION
ANTIPATHY ALLOPATHY HOMOEOPATHY
★ Curable in disease- General symptoms of mind and body very near to man
★ Curative in medicine- The latent curative powers are hidden in the drug
★ Drug- alters the state of health
★ Medicine- have hidden dynamic powers, produces symptoms in provers
★ Remedy- similimum which cures after matching of symptoms in provers with
patient
APHORISM 26
NATURE’S LAW- stronger removes the weaker
★ A weaker dynamic affection is permanently extinguished in the living organism by

a stronger one if the latter is very similar to the former in its manifestation but
differing in kind
★ Physical aspect e.g. Candle and sunlight
★ Moral aspect e.g. Crying of soldiers not heard in beating of drums
★ Disease aspect e.g. Ophthalmia removed by small pox, orchitis removed by mumps
APHORISM 27
MODUS OPERANDI OF CURE
★ Curative power of medicines depends upon

★ Symptoms similar to disease and
★ Superior in strength than the natural disease
★ Each individual case of disease is permanently annihilated by such medicine
APHORISM 28
★ Homoeopathy works as its a natural law of cure

★ How it works, matters a little
★ Its based on pure experience, derived by--
★ Observations made after experimentation
APHORISM 29
★ Disease is morbid, dynamical alteration of our vital energy

★ Cure: Principle of life is dynamically altered by natural disease
★ Seized through the action of medicine- Similar and Stronger
★ Produces the artificial disease
★ Feeling of natural disease ceases
★ Artificial disease produced by medicine has limited span of time
★ It soon disappears leaving the organism free from disease
★ The dynamis is disease free now, ready to carry its functions again
APHORISM 30
MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASE CURING AGENTS
★ Importance of REGULATION OF DOSE OF MEDICINES in the

hands of physician
★ During Drug proving on healthy provers
★ If during proving pathology develops, further administration
of drug is stopped- dose is in the hands of physician
★ While treating the patient of Natural disease, stronger
similar disease is produced by similimum which soon
disappears as the dose is small
APHORISM 31
SUSCEPTIBILITY
★ Natural disease producing agents ACT CONDITIONALLY

★ E.g. small pox cures ophthalmia - its not in our hands to
suffer from small pox to remove ophthalmia
★ Don’t affect all persons AND
★ NEVER At all times
★ Due to underlined SUSCEPTIBILITY- CONDITION
APHORISM 32
★ Action of MEDICINES
★ ACT UNCONDITIONALLY
★ ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
★ ALL TIMES
★ ALL LIVING BEINGS
★ PRODUCES SYMPTOMS ON LIVING BEINGS
APHORISM 33
★ Morbific noxious agents and infectious agents possess a power of

morbidy deranging man’s health CONDITIONALLY
★ Medicinal agents derange man’s health UNCONDITIONALLY
★ MEDICINES ARE SUPERIOR TO NATURAL DISEASES
★ Foot Note 17- Scarlet Fever cured by Belladona
★ Also prevented it in healthy children who took Belladona
APHORISM 34
SIMILIMUM CURES DUE TO SIMILARITY AND SUPERIORITY IN STRENGTH
★ Medicine should be superior to natural disease

★ And similar to the natural disease
★ Vital force has no reflection or act of memory
★ Stronger similar natural disease can cure weaker natural disease
★ Stronger dissimilar natural disease can never cure weaker disease
APHORISM 35
DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES IN NATURE
★ TWO DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES

★ ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE NEVER CURES
★ UNHOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES NEVER CURES
REVISION
HOMOEOPATHY
★ Its based on Nature’s law- e.g. of natural cures

★ Similar medicines are superior than natural disease curing agents and they act
unconditionally while natural disease curing agents act conditionally
★ Similimum cures as it produces stronger, similar artificial disease and its dose is
regulated
★ TWO DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURES
★ ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE NEVER CURES
APHORISM 36
DISSIMILAR DISEASE NEVER CURED IN NATURE
★ 1st CONDITION
★ If the older disease is stronger then new disease will not affect the
patient
★ E. G.Severe chronic disease will not suffer from dysentery
★ E.G. Scurvy is present won’t get affected by plague
★ E.G. If patient has T.B. will not be affected by the epidemic
APHORISM 37
★ Old chronic disease if treated by allopathic medicines

★ Disease is more difficult to cure
★ Cure never happens
APHORISM 38
★ 2nd CONDITION
★ Old disease is weak and if affected by new stronger disease
★ Old disease is suspended, new disease will run its course
★ After it has finished its course, old disease comes back
★ E.G. Epilepsy was suspended for few days when infected with ring
worm when eruption had gone, epilepsy returned.
★ E.G. Itch disappeared after scurvy appeared and when scurvy
cured itch appeared
★ E. G. mania-- consumption- mania
APHORISM 39
Nature never cures dissimilar diseases
★ Dissimilar drugs never cure

★ Suppress or suspend the malady for short time
★ Add new morbid state to old one if used for a long time
APHORISM 40
★ 3rd CONDITION
★ Old disease is dissimilar and new has acted after a long time joins hand together
★ Two dissimilar diseases if chronic in nature:- E.G. psoric eruption joins syphilitic
patient, They occupy the parts of the organism which they are more adapted
★ They can not be removed, can not cure one another Patient is more diseased
★ Two dissimilar diseases if acute in nature E. G. measles and small pox
★ Together they form COMPLEX DISEASE
APHORISM 41
COMPLEX DISEASE
★ Natural diseases complicate each other

★ More complications by treatment with current unsuitable treatment then
★ Mercury if given in large doses causes swelling and ulceration of bones
★ Actually in small doses can cure venereal disease
APHORISM 42
COMPLEX DISEASE
★ In nature there can be 2 or 3 natural diseases

★ They do not remove nor annihilate and cannot cure
★ They occupy parts peculiarly appropriate to it
APHORISM 43
WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE
★ When new disease is stronger to the already existing

★ Natural Cures takes place
APHORISM 44
★ Two similar disease neither repel

★ Nor suspend
★ AS LITTLE ( very rare, almost never)
★ Two similar disease don’t exist beside one another
★ Don’t form a Double Complex disease
★ {stronger similar disease will remove/ cure weaker similar disease}
APHORISM 45
★ When two similar diseases meet the stronger disease annihilates

weaker
★ Stronger power invades the system by reason of its similarity of action
involves same part of the organism affected by weaker disease
★ This weaker disease no longer acts on these parts
★ Vital force affected by similar and stronger dynamic power which
controls feelings of patient
★ Now life principle no longer feel the weaker similar disease
★ Life principle affected only by new stronger similimum
APHORISM 46
WHEN TWO SIMILAR DISEASE MEET IN NATURE E. G. NATURAL CURES
★ Ophtalmia cured by small pox

★ Deafness, dyspnoea cured by small pox
★ Cow pox cured by small pox
★ Herpes removed by measles
★ STRONGER SIMILAR DISEASE REMOVES WEAKER SIMILAR DISEASE
REVISION
★ Dr. Hahnemann with his keen observations of natural diseases------

★ When two dissimilar disease meet in nature---36,38,40
★ When two similar disease meet in nature---43
★ A phenomenon in nature is evident
★ Stronger similar disease is replaced by artificial stronger similar
disease produced by remedy whose dose is regulated, its not
dangerous and disappears soon as dose is regulated
★ Homoeopathy is a natural science
★ CURE ONLY TAKES PLACE IN HOMOEOPATHY --- NATURAL CURES
APHORISM 47
OBSERVATION WITH SIMILIMUM
★ These examples teach physician what kind of artificial

morbific agent (medicine) is required to cure
★ When he sees the natural cures
★ Of course the SIMILIMUM
APHORISM 48
CURE POSSIBLE ONLY BY SIMILIMUM
★ Dissimilar morbific agent never cures even when strong

★ Similar medicinal agent to the symptoms of disease
★ Stronger in nature
★ CURES
APHORISM 49
CURE POSSIBLE ONLY BY SIMILIMUM
★ More examples of natural cures might have been observed

★ Nature is deficient of diseases to bring such cures
APHORISM 50
CURE POSSIBLE IN NATURE BY SIMILAR DISEASE
★ They are hazardous cures

★ Incomplete cures
★ The more stronger disease which removed weaker disease remains in patient
★ How new stronger similar disease will be removed?
★ By another still stronger?
★ How one can wait for the new still stronger and similar disease to remove the
present disease?
APHORISM 51
HAPPY-GO- LUCKY OPERATIONS
★ Law of Similars can thus be easily understood from these examples in nature
★ Natural Cures are not sure, they are accidental, not in all cases
★ Where as we have at our disposal so many Homoeopathic medicines which are
known to produce similar morbific affections
★ The dose is in our hands so that the artificial disease produced by Homoeopathic
medicines is slightly higher than the natural disease and it disappears after its
action is over
★ It’s a gentle cure
★ No violent attack on the organism
APHORISM 52
2 Methods of Treatment- HOMOEOPATHY, ALLOPATHY
Criminal Treason against Divine Homoeopathy
★ HOMOEOPATHY- BASED ON OBSERVATION OF NATURE

★ - CAREFUL EXPERIMENTATION
★ ALLOPATHY / HETEROPATHY - Sometimes practice Homoeopathy and
★ - Sometimes practice allopathy
★ According to pleasure of patient
APHORISM 53
TRUE CURE - HOMOEOPATHY (not in Antipathy, Isopathy)
★ True, Mild, Permanent Cure is in HOMOEOPATHY

★ Based on Eternal Laws of NATURE
★ True Homoeopathic Healing Art
★ Based on eternal laws of Nature
★ Straight line between two given points
REVISION
TRUE CURE - HOMOEOPATHY- LAW OF NATURE
★ Two dissimilar diseases never cure ★ Two similar diseases meet, cure
★ They exist with each other takes place
★ There are never cures observed ★ Stronger natural disease removes
★ They never cure each other weaker
★ Antipathy never cures ★ But this is not option to cure
★ Stronger disease remains, dangerous
★ Its not in our hands to suffer
★ Natural cures are accidental as
★ Diseases act conditionally
★ Medicines act unconditionally
APHORISM 54
ALLOPATHY
★ Allopathy method of treatment utilized many things against diseases.

★ Different methods at different times
★ Claimed themselves Rational Medicine
★ They falsely thought they touched the inner nature of life of Healthy and
Sick
★ So treatment given to remove the noxious matter from patient e.g.
cathartics, emetics diuretics given
★ Classified diseases according to names
★ Medicines were imagined to cure the abnormal conditions
APHORISM 55
(1) ALLOPATHY
★ People learnt that patient’s sufferings increased

★ Empirical medicines gave palliative relief
★ So allopathic medicines were supported by patients
APHORISM 56
(2) ANTIPATHY / ENANTIOPATHY (3) ISOPATHY
★ Teachings of Gallen
★ Law of Contraria
★ This Antipathy mode of Treatment adapted by Allopaths
★ Isopathy was thought to give relief
★ Law of Equalia
★ Teachings of W. Lux
★ It also didn’t cure but caused trouble and aggravation
APHORISM 57
ANTIPATHY
★ A Medicine produces exact opposite to the morbid symptoms

★ Based on law of contraria
★ Advantage- speedy recovery
★ E.G. - Large doses of opium to relieve pain as it benumbs the sensibilty; also for
diarrhoea as it produces constipation; burnt hand put in cold water; chilly patient
takes hot water bath
★ Opposite medicine is given which is relieved patient
★ Primary action of drug
APHORISM 58
ANTIPATHY
★ Faulty symptomatic treatment

★ Few symptoms are only treated
★ Feels better for short time
★ Followed by aggravation
APHORISM 59
ANTIPATHY PRIMARY ACTION and SECONDARY ACTION
OLD SCHOOL believes on false theories- Palliation
★ Primary action : patient is better due to opposite action of medicine

★ Secondary action : the previous symptoms of sufferings are increased
★ Relapse
★ E.G. sleepiness is better with coffee but after its action is over
★ E. G. opium given to patient of diarrhoea ( primary action )constipation,
followed by severe diarrhoea (secondary action)
★ E. G. purgatives given to treat constipation
APHORISM 60
STRONG DOSES IN ANTIPATHY
★ With each increasing symptoms physician gives more stronger dose

★ Disease is not cured but increases
★ Palliation
★ Brousseau stopped giving mixtures of drugs
★ Applied leeches to suck the faulty blood which was thought to cause diseases
★ Patient more weaker, debilitated, exhausted
APHORISM 61
ANTIPATHY NEVER CURES
★ Physicians did not see the sad results of Antipathic treatment

★ TRUE RADICAL HEALING ART MUST BE FOUND IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF SUCH
AN ANTIPATHIC TREATMENT OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE
★ Transient relief
★ Aggravation is followed
★ Permanent cure only with similimum if physician used it or accidently used it
★ Natural Cures
REVISION
NATURAL CURE = HOMOEOPATHY
★ Dissimilar disease never cures ★ Stronger similar disease cures

★ They form complex disease weaker disease
★ It’s not in nature that, dissimilar ★ Stronger disease is fatal
disease ★ It’s not in our hands to invite
★ ANTIPATHY NEVER CURE stronger disease to remove weaker
★ Allopathy never cures ★ They act conditionally
★ Large doses, mixtues, hazardous ★ Natural diseases is not option to
★ Secondary reactions severe cure
complaint ★ Homoeopathy is natural science
★ No law ★ Artificial similar disease produced
★ It is based on law, the only method
to cure
APHORISM 62
HOMOEOPATHY ALONE CURES
★ Dr. Hahnemann was the FIRST to perceive this fact

★ Through Manifold Observations
★ Homoeopathy cures not like palliation by Antipathy
★ So the importance of This Healing art must be understood
APHORISM 63
PRIMARY ACTION SECONDARY ACTION
★ Every medicine deranges vital force- PRIMARY ACTION

★ Vital force reacts to this action- SECONDARY ACTION
APHORISM 64
PRIMARY ACTION SECONDARY ACTION
★ During Primary action - Vital force is passive, receptive to action of medicine on it

★ During Secondary action - Vital force shows two actions
★ Secondary counter action- exact opposite condition of health is produced (ANTIPATHY)
★ Secondary curative action- similar superior power is generated to extinguish the
disease ( HOMOEOPATHY)
APHORISM 65
PRIMARY ACTION (examples) SECONDARY ACTION (COUNTER)
★ A Hand first bathed in hot water is first warmer (primary action)

★ Then it becomes more colder (secondary action)
★ A Hand first bathed in cold water is first pale ( primary action)
★ Then it becomes more warmer ( secondary action)
★ Sleeplessness in patient, after opium sleeps a lot ( primary action)
★ Following night he is more sleepless ( secondary action)
★ Secondary action is more antagonistic or counter
APHORISM 66
CURATIVE SECONDARY ACTION
★ Antagonistic secondary action NOT seen in HOMOEOPATHY

★ SMALL DOSE
★ SIMILIMUM
★ Small reaction is generated similar to the sufferings
★ Restoration of Health
APHORISM 67
SUSPENDED ANIMATION
★ Antipathy is advised by Dr. Hahnemann in most urgent cases

★ Patients with Accidents, Asphyxia, Drowning, Electric shock
★ Vital force is in danger to be lost
★ Homoeopathic medicines have no time to act
★ Symptoms may disappear
★ So Antipathy is required to save the patient
★ Coffee, application of heat, antidotes,
APHORISM 68
HOMOEOPATHIC CURE
★ Due to minute doses

★ Due to similimum
★ Stronger a little
★ Natural disease is removed
★ Medicinal disease remains soon disappears due to small dose
★ Vital force has no need to react against this medicinal disease now present
★ Health is restored
★ Previous morbid state is extinguished
APHORISM 69
ANTIPATHY
★ In antipathy physician administers the medicine which produces opposite effects to

the disease
★ So for some time the sufferings are not felt by vital force, patient feels better
★ Antagonistic / opposite symptom does not occupy the symptoms of the disease
★ Similimum occupies the symptoms of the disease so vital force no longer feels the
previous morbid symptoms but only the symptoms of similimum
★ Antipathy palliates, symptoms return in more intensity after the action of dose is
over
APHORISM 70
INFERENCE
★ LIFE PRINCIPLE maintains Health

★ Disease is derangement of LIFE PRINCIPLE
★ Disease represented by symptoms
★ Symptoms are curable in disease
★ DISEASE HEALTH
★ CURE possible only by SIMILIMUM
★ Power to produce same symptoms on healthy individual
★ Cure brought by LIFE PRINCIPLE

TO ACCOMPLISH MISSION OF PHYSICIAN
OPERATION OF CURING
★ No doubt that the diseases of mankind consist merely of group of

symptoms and may be annihilated
★ Disease known by symptoms - CASE TAKING
★ Transformed into health BY medicinal substances are capable of
artificially producing similar morbid symptoms- KNOWN THROUGH
DRUG PROVING
★ Judicious employment of medicines for cure of natural disease
APHORISM 71
MINIATURE OF ORGANON-case taking, drug proving, judicious employment
of medicines
★ 1. How is the physician to ascertain what is necessary to be known in order to cure

the disease- CASE TAKING
★ 2. How is he to gain a knowledge of the instruments adapted for the cure of the
natural disease , the pathogenetic powers of the medicines- DRUG PROVING
★ 3. What is the most suitable method of employing these artificial morbific agents
(medicines) for the cure of natural disease- SECOND PRESCRIPTION, POSOLOGY
APHORISM 72
CLINICAL - DISEASE CLASSIFICATION
★ Classification of disease is not Nosological but Clinical

★ 1. Disease is rapid morbid processes of the abnormally deranged vital force, which
have a tendency to finish their course more or less quickly but always in moderate
time - these are termed as Acute Disease caused by exciting causes
★ 2. Small imperceptible beginnings , dynamically derange the living organism, vital
force opposes to them at the commencement and during their progress there is
in-sufficient resistance and unable to extinguish them and gets abnormally
deranged again and again. These are termed as Chronic diseases caused by miasms
APHORISM 74
CHRONIC DISEASES - 1. ARTIFICIAL CHRONIC DISEASES
★ ALLOPATHIC TREATMENT of violent allopathic type- calomel, mercurial compound,

silver nitrate,iodine, opium, sulphur
★ Vital energy is weakened
★ To maintain life against these destructive attacks it produces
★ Dilatation, Contraction, Relaxation or induration or destruction of certain parts
★ E.g. Brousseauic treatment of venesection, hunger diet- debilitating treatment
★ Cures only by similar medicine ( accidentally )homoeopathic to case
★ Dr. Hahnemann says its murderous malpractice, irrational, cruel, no ground, absurd
APHORISM 73
ACUTE DISEASES-Cause: Exciting, TYPES- Individual, Sporadic, Epidemic
★ Causes of Acute Diseases : Acute diseases are transient explosion of latent psora, return
to its normal state if acute disease is not of too violent character and soon subside
★ Individual: Few persons due to excess in food, heat or chill impression, chilly weather or
hot weather, Mental emotions, exciting cause of acute febrile ( fever) conditions.
★ Sporadic: several persons, same time, same cause (meteoric, telluric), different places
★ Epidemic: many people are attacked with similar sufferings, highly infectious
(war,famine)
★ Acute miasms : Recurring (e.g. typhoid) and Non recurring (small pox)
★ E.G. Homoeopath treats not by the name of disease but by its peculiar symptoms
★ Ref. 1801- Purpura Miliaris- Aconite; Scarlet Fever - Belladona

CHRONIC DISEASES: 1. ARTIFICIAL CHRONIC DISEASES
★ Allopathic non healing art

★ Changes in health are incurable
★ No Cures
★ Side effects of such drugs
APHORISM 76
★ God- beneficent deity has granted us HOMOEOPATHY means of cure

★ Vital force is weakened by the mischievous acts of allopathic drugging
★ Does not cure
★ If the patient succumbs its due to this pseudo art but he tells to relatives patient
died of incurable diseases
APHORISM 77
CHRONIC DISEASES: 2. PSEUDO CHRONIC DISEASES
★ Inappropriately named chronic diseases

★ Indulging into Avoidable noxious influences- alcohol, habits
★ Prolonged abstinence from things necessary to life residing in unhealthy localities
like marshy districts, housed in cellars, no open air, constant state of worry
APHORISM 78
CHRONIC DISEASES: 3. TRUE NATURAL CHRONIC DISEASES
★ True natural chronic diseases are caused by Miasms - Dynamic causes if unchecked
★ Go on increasing and growing not withstanding to best mental and corporeal
regimen, torment the patient to the end of his life with ever aggravated sufferings
★ Numerous
★ Greatest scourges on human race
★ For the most robust constitution, the best regulated mode of living and most
vigorous energy of vital force are insufficient for their eradication
★ Adverse events in life diseases are renewed which were relieved in past

★ a] Indulgence in substances harmful to life
★ b] Abstinence from substances necessary to life

CHRONIC DISEASES: - SYPHILIS, SYCOSIS
★ Dr Hahnemann says, Syphilis is alone is a chronic disease

★ Sycosis (condylomatous disease)
★ Both are ineradicable by vital force
★ Physicians didn’t recognize it as a chronic miasmatic diseases, Which they are
★ These chronic diseases had some skin growths which were removed by physicians
★ They claimed they cured the diseases
★ Ignored the disease developed in other systems
APHORISM 80
CHRONIC MIASM : PSORA
★ Syphilis - externally shows chancre- represents internal dyscrasia

★ Sycosis- externally shows cauliflower like growths- represents internal dyscrasia
★ Psora- externally shows cutaneous eruption- vesicles, ITCHING, ODOUR- monstrous
internal chronic miasm, Fundamental cause
★ Produces numerous forms of diseases by various names- rachitis, mania,epilepsy,
cancer, gout, haemorrhoids, jaundice , asthma, calculus
★ ( Primary psora-Itch, Secondary psora -diseases affecting various systems)

★ 3.] TRUE NATURAL CHRONIC DISEASES -DUE TO CHRONIC MIASM
★ SYPHILIS- Externally chancre
★ SYCOSIS- Externally condylomata
★ PSORA- Externally vesicle eruptions
★ Physicians thought disease is only external and removed it
★ They were ignorant of what they have done
★ They have driven the disease more deeper
Theory of Chronic diseases-
Causes- of Chronic Diseases. MIASM- PSORA
★ Dr. Hahnemann spent 12 years in discovering the CAUSE OF CHRONIC DISEASES

★ Source of these large no.of chronic affections
★ Discovering antipsoric remedies
★ Observations published in the book Chronic Diseases 4 volumes- 4th edition 1829
★ Successfully treated these maladies but they recurred
★ Increased intensity
★ Antipsoric remedies gave effective cure
APHORISM 81
MIASM- PSORA
★ This infecting agent is ancient , Passed hundreds of generations Various morbid forms
★ What’s the cause of chronic diseases- Secondary psora
★ Numerous diseases present in variety of mankind with different names
★ Transformation of psora to chronic diseases depends upon climate, improper physical
and mental training in youth, faulty diet, habits, customs of various kinds
★ Even a new epidemic comes give different names and treat as if they knew about it
★ Sydenham opposed this
★ Dr. Hahnemann- names of disease should not influence physician in treatment
★ Names of diseases required in reference of patient
APHORISM 82
CHRONIC DISEASES, ACUTE DISEASES (difficulties in) case taking
★ Discovery of Chronic diseases and their various forms

★ Discovery of Homoeopathic remedies- Anti Psoric remedies
★ Study of Medicine is also done gives us knowledge of diseases
★ In acute diseases- the chief symptoms strike us and become evident to the senses
more quickly, less time is required for tracing the picture of disease
★ In chronic diseases- it is progressing gradually, symptoms are difficult to be
ascertained
REVISION-1
MIASMS- Dynamic disease producing agents
★ Dr. Hahnemann was disappointed as diseases recurred again and again

★ In spite of treating diseases successfully with homoeopathic medicines
★ He wanted to solve the mystery why the diseases recurred
★ He worked for 12 years and thoroughly took case takings generations back
★ E.G. Diseases like Asthma, Migraine, Epilepsy recurred in spite treated with
Homoeopathy
★ So his logical mind started thinking step by step to find out the cause of recurrence
★ So he discussed it in 5 points to search the cause of recurrence
REVISION-2
★ The most important aspect he noticed was that patient had history of eruptions in
past which were removed by ointments
★ The eruptions in PSORA or chancre in SYPHILIS, condylomatous growth in SYCOSIS
★ They are seen externally
★ They can not come externally without internal disturbance
★ Internal disturbance channelized externally on skin
★ Removing the skin eruptions caused closing the channel
★ So disease which was superficial on skin was driven more deeper affecting vital
organs
REVISION-3
★ It was usual practice of physicians to remove what is visible to the eyes

★ They were ignorant what they have done
★ They didn’t understand the significance of what they have done
★ Nature saved vital organs by keeping the disease on skin, superficially
★ The cause of internal disturbance was disturbance of vital energy
★ This expressed outside on the surface on skin
★ But by removing skin eruptions the internal dyscrasia was not at all cured
★ By closing the channel through which internal dyscrasia expressed itself had to find
now new channel - at the site of various systems- diseases like asthma, epilepsy
REVISION-4
★ He gave the name Psora as the fundamental cause of diseases of non- venereal
origin
★ He proved antipsoric remedies which covered vast variety of diseases
★ Treatment is internal medication
★ So MIASMS are the cause of chronic diseases

CASE - TAKING - EPIDEMIC DISEASES- GENUS
EPIDEMICUS
★ In investigating the totality of the symptoms of EPIDEMIC and SPORADIC diseases
★ Never consider any outbreak as similar as their past outbreaks
★ Consider every time a new epidemic has emerged and manage it individually
without considering any previous experience
★ Physician must find peculiarities of every diseases, investigate every disease
thoroughly
★ He should never substitute actual findings with old known facts and hypothesis
regarding any disease never consider any disease as previously known or treated
APHORISM 100
CASE - TAKING - GENUS EPIDEMICUS
★ It’s a Remedy PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE SAVES TIME For epidemic

diseases
★ Careful examine and Investigate epidemic disease in all its phases
★ To understand pure picture of disease No substitute for actual
observation
★ Every prevailing disease is a phenomena of unique character
★ Differing vastly from all previous epidemics to which certain names have
been falsely applied.
★ The disease may be novel or occured in the past
★ Exception of those epidemics arising from a contagious principle that
always remains the same e.g. small pox
APHORISM 101
CASE - TAKING - GENUS EPIDEMICUS
★ Close observation of not first case but several cases

★ Can understand this collective disease to form totality of symptoms
★ Careful observation of 1st, 2nd patient physician can arrive to form

★ Choice of Homoeopathic Remedy
★ So In an epidemic disease, it is not possible to determine every manifestation
of disease from one case
★ We have to inquire different cases detailed history of whole epidemic
APHORISM 102
CASE TAKING - GENUS EPIDEMICUS
★ Detailed case taking of several cases makes clear picture of epidemic diseases
★ To get Characteristic symptoms of this epidemic disease
★ General symptoms also become clear and are noted
★ Peculiar Rare features are noted
★ Same source of disease- same contagious source so are suffering from same
disease. Patient contracts it from other patients; so few symptoms are same.
★ Whole extent of such an epidemic disease and the totality of symptoms can be
learned from several patients not from one single patient
★ Survey of morbid disease picture is done --- Choice of HOMOEOPATHIC SPECIFIC
REMEDY
APHORISM 102
CASE TAKING - GENUS EPIDEMICUS
★ If physician finds approximate suitable remedy of epidemic disease from one case
★ He must confirm remedy from subsequent cases , detailed case taking of all case
will enable him to verify his medicine or he can discover more appropriate
medicine than previous one.
★ There are chances that physician may find out most suitable medicine from present
epidemic from one case but further detailed case taking of every new individual is
going to support his first prescription and he should verify his first prescription
APHORISM 103
CASE -TAKING - CHRONIC MIASMATIC DISEASE - PSORA
★ In chronic diseases different patients show different symptoms are noted

★ Detailed case taking To build totality of symptoms

★ Physician pays attention to CHARACTERISTIC OF SYMPTOMS
★ Natural morbid phenomena of affection of vital force is then met with similar
medicinal force stronger than it
★ The pure effects of medicine are already known by proving on healthy provers
★ In FOLLOW UP , Physician just tick marks the symptoms already noted when
ameliorated. He adds any new symptoms if seen in patient
★ IMPORTANCE OF RECORD KEEPING
DIFFERENCE IN CASE- TAKING
HOMOEOPATHY ALLOPATHY
★ Minute Details of patient’s symptoms ★ Allopath never notes down the minute
★ Physician gives adequate time to details of patient
note the minute details of patients ★ He does not have time to note down
★ Prescription of remedy based on law ★ Prescription of unknown mixture
★ Follow up each symptom is evaluated ★ Follow up- he forgets the patient’s
as its noted down symptoms
★ The profession needs reflection, ★ Very hurried examination of patient
conscientious, careful examination and mixtures are given
patient, special treatment is needed. ★ So called rational practitioners
★ Rational practitioners are ★ What’s the result? BAD
Homoeopath ★ Still patient visited as no better choice
or out of fashion

DEFINITION
Drug proving is the process of acquiring knowledge of instruments intended for
the cure of natural disease. It is systematic and orderly way of investigating the
pathogenetic power of medicine on healthy human being of different age group
and of both the sexes
DRUG PROVING AIM
★ To know the pathogenetic power of medicine

★ To observe and record the changes in normal function and sensation
★ To observe the effect of drug on physiological functions and structures
DRUG PROVING

★ Matching is done with symptoms of natural disease
APHORISM 107
DRUG PROVING- PROVING ON SICK
★ If effects of medicines are tested on SICK individuals

★ Symptoms of SICK patients are already present
★ Medicines produce symptoms
★ Two set of symptoms are mixed
★ We don’t get to know true and pure effects of Medicines
DRUG PROVING NOT ON SICK
INDIVIDUAL
★ It will give mixed picture of disease and medicinal symptoms, so pure effects of
drugs are not observed, mixed picture of disease will be available
★ Intensity of symptoms may alter and may get wrong pathogenetic data of
medicine
★ Some times medicine can cure the existing symptoms of disease
★ Some times it can produce complex disease
★ Mixed picture of drug and disease, final pure morbid alterations are not seen
★ Existing disease can overpower the action of medicines producing intensity of
disease symptoms in high intensity, so pure actions of medicine is not judged
★ Sick person may have taken some medicine which may produce further effects
on organism
★ The proving medicine can increase the existing symptoms and may be fatal
★ Prover may not be able to pay attention to tell the effects of drugs
DRUG PROVING NOT ON ANIMALS
★ We can not get subjective symptoms -MG , PG- SUBJECTIVE SENSATION,

★ The susceptibility of animals is different
★ Effects of drugs is different on humans and animals

★ PROVING ON HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS
★ Can know MORBID STATE they produce as symptoms of body and mind
★ Curative Power of Medicines lies in the power they possess changing man’s state of
health
★ Albrecht Von Haller before Dr. Hahnemann knew this genuine way of testing the
pure effects of medicines deranging the man’s state of health (2500 years ago
before Dr. Hahnemann) in order the morbid state it is capable of curing.

COMPARED WITH SYMPTOMS OF MEDICINE OBTAINED BY
PROVING ON HEALTHY HUMAN BEING
★ IT IMPROVES HEALTH OF PROVER
APHORISM 109
DRUG PROVING-It is impossible to draw more than one straight line
between two given points
★ Dr. Hahnemann was the first to discover the perfect conviction of great truth
★ Blessings to Humanity
★ Homoeopathic Employment of Medicines certain cure of human maladies
★ Just as ‘There is NO another way of curing DYNAMIC diseases with
HOMOEOPATHY’ one who denies this can’t understand
★ Baselessness of allopathic mode of treating , side effects, hurtful effects
★ But The TRUE, CONSCIENTIOUS , HOMOEOPATHS practice this true healing art are

★ Just as ‘There is NO another way of curing DYNAMIC diseases with
HOMOEOPATHY’ one who denies this can’t understand
★ HOMOEOPATHY IS THE ONLY HEALING ART
★ ITS A BLESSINGS TO HUMANITY
APHORISM 110
DRUG PROVING- HISTORICAL PROVINGS- AUTHORS pernicious effects of these
powerful substances to warn others from the use of poisons
★ Morbid symptoms seen on healthy persons after intake of medicinal substances

taken in large amount , Either by mistake or given by purpose to kill
★ But never dreamt that symptoms of these poisonous character of these drugs is
due to the power of these drugs which can cure the similar symptoms of natural
disease
★ The only way to ascertain the medicinal powers is to observe their effects on
healthy provers
★ Not by imaginations, not by mixture given to prover
★ Forms the rudiments of true, pure materia medica
APHORISM 111
DRUG PROVING - Action of Pure effects of medicines
★ Ref: 110 recorded effects of medicines without any

therapeutic object
★ Medicinal substances produce effects on healthy human
body according to fixed eternal laws of nature
★ ALL THE MEDICINES ARE POSSESSED WITH PECULIAR
QUALITIES INHERENT IN THEM
APHORISM 112
DRUG PROVING- Ref: 110 SMALL DOSES
★ Medicine ingested in large doses produced dangerous effects

★ Certain states were produced at the end of which were exactly opposite to those
that first occurred which was quite worse
★ Ref: 63 -Primary Action, Ref: 67- Secondary Counter Action of vital force
★ Such reactions are seldom in the use of moderate doses and no reaction seen in
small doses (used in HOMOEOPATHY)
★ In Homoeopathy, Ref: 67-Secondary Curative Action is seen, living organism reacts
just to bring back the health
APHORISM 114
DRUG PROVING- PRIMARY ACTION
★ Proving of medicines on healthy human beings in Moderate Doses

is its PRIMARY ACTION
★ Medicines derange the health of man and develops morbid state of
shorter or longer duration
APHORISM 113
DRUG PROVING- NARCOTIC SUBSTANCES- secondary action
★ Narcotic substances in their primary action take away

sensibility, irritability, benumbs the patient
★ Secondary action: its seen that even from use of moderate
doses on healthy bodies increased sensibility, irritability is
seen during proving
★ Like how in secondary counter action while using large doses
exact opposite state is seen to primary action
APHORISM 115
DRUG PROVING- ALTERNATING ACTION
★ In provings of some medicine

★ Exact opposite state of symptoms is produced to the previous state of
symptoms
★ It’s not the secondary action
★ Its alternating state of various paroxysms of Primary action
APHORISM 116
DRUG PROVING- SUSCEPTIBILITY
★ Some symptoms are produced in many provers

★ Some symptoms are produced in few persons
★ Some symptoms are produced in very few persons
APHORISM 117
DRUG PROVING- IDIOSYNCRASY
★ These are peculiar, corporeal constitutions which although otherwise healthy

possesses a disposition to be brought into more or less morbid state by certain
things which seem to produce no impression no change in many other individuals
★ But this inability to make an impression on everyone is only apparent
★ 2 things required for production of these morbid symptoms on man’s health
★ The inherent power of influencing substance
★ The capabilities of vital force to be influenced by it
★ They give PQRS symptoms : They are difficult to CURE
IDIOSYNCRASY- 117
A behaviour that is particular to individual or a reaction of person
★ IDIOSYNCRASY means an abnormal response to a drug action either because of

GENETIC or UNKNOWN mechanism
★ IDIOSYNCRASY --- GENETIC BASIS
★ ALLERGY --- IMMUNOLOGICAL BASIS
★ ABNORMAL RESPONSE IS DUE TO GENETIC MECHANISM
★ TYPE B Adverse drug reaction
★ bizzare reaction

No substitute for each other
★ Every plants, differ in external form, growth, Mineral and Salts differ in mode of
life in its growth, taste and smell
★ Internal and External properties- Physical and chemical properties
★ All differ in their pathogenetic effects. So do they differ in their curative effects
★ Each one produces peculiar effects on health of human beings
★ Medicines should be tested on healthy provers to know their pure effects which
produces similar morbid states to the disease before physician
★ True Homoeopathic physician or Nature can effect Homoeopathic cure only with
Homoeopathic remedies
★ Previously physicians prescribed medicines whose action was not known, gave in
mixtures whose action is still not known
APHORISM 120
DRUG PROVING- True and Pure effects of Medicine known -
HEALTH
★ On Medicines depends man’s life -HEALTH

★ So to know their pure effects - accurate knowledge of action of medicines obtained
by their effects on healthy body
★ No mistake in their employment to treat disease
★ Correct similimum if its true pure effects known by experiment
★ To have healthy MIND and BODY is a blessing
QUALITIES OF PROVER IN HOMOEOPATHY
1ST TIME - HEALTHY HUMAN BEING
DR. HAHNEMANN
★ Prover is the only source of information and science relies on him totally
★ Prover should possess certain qualities as his symptoms are going to furnish HMM
★ True HMM must be collection of most accurate symptoms

LOVER OF TRUTH, GOOD OBSERVER, HONEST AND OBEDIENT
APHORISM 121
DRUG PROVING- Minute dose during drug proving and
Qualities of prover

★ Those of milder power are given in quantities
★ The subjects- of experiments PROVER - should be free from disease- Healthy
★ HEALTHY PROVER : To find pure pathogenetic properties of medicine
★ SICK PROVER : The sick prover does not give True picture of medicinal action
★ Prover must be from mental and physical morbidity
★ Prover should be healthy, delicate, irritable and sensitive

DRUG PROVING - PROVING IN CRUDE STATE, TIME OF
ADMINISTRATION
★ If experimenter proves the drugs in crude state

★ The latent hidden powers of the drugs are not elicited.
★ Hidden are the powers
★ Increased by Trituration and Succussion
★ To investigate the medicinal powers
★ Give medicine to prover Empty stomach
★ Daily 4 -6 small globules of the 30 potency moistened with a little water
or dissolved in water
★ DON’T REPEAT THE MEDICINE AS LONG AS PROVER GIVES SYMPTOMS
APHORISM 129
DRUG PROVING- Commence with small dose of drug
★ If the effect from dose is slight few more globules may be taken daily until the symptoms
are produced
★ The action of medicine can not be predicted before proving.It may have variable amount
of energy and capacity to produce morbid state
★ Every medicine is having different action on different individuals which depends on
constitution and circumstances
★ All provers are not affected by a medicine in an equally great degree
★ Weak individuals may not be scarcely affected by moderate doses of strong medicine
★ Robust person may get affected by mild medicine
★ Slighter symptoms produced by strong medicine in large doses in sensitive individual
APHORISM 130
DRUG PROVING- RECORDING OF SYMPTOMS

manner
★ DURATION OF ACTION OF MEDICINE ascertained after many experiments
APHORISM 131
DRUG PROVING- Ever increasing doses in several successive
days
★ Can’t observe the order of succession of appearance of symptoms

★ We can observe the various morbid symptoms medicine is capable of producing
★ Subsequent dose may remove the symptoms caused by previous dose
★ Or may develop alternating states
★ Or may develop opposite states
★ So confirmation only done by repetition of pure experiments whether secondary
action or alternating action
APHORISM 132
DRUG PROVING- Ever increasing doses in several successive days
★ To test action of weak medicine give it in several successive days

★ Sequential order of symptoms and duration of action of drugs can’t
be ascertained
★ But action of mildest nature of medicine can be revealed

DRUG PROVING- TO NOTE EXACT CHARACTER OF SYMPTOMS
-SENSATIONS
★ If any symptom noted by prover to ask any relief by

POSITIONS
★ TIME MODALITY
★ To note the changes in the symptoms by various actions

★ COMPLETE THE SYMPTOMS BY PROVER
★ LOCATION, SENSATION, MODALITY, CONCOMITTANT
APHORISM 134
DRUG PROVING- MEDICINES PRODUCE PECULIAR ALTERATIONS
IN STATE OF HEALTH
★ Medicine alter the state of health in PECULIAR manner
★ All the symptoms in medicine do not appear in single prover
★ In same experiment
★ Nor all symptoms appear at once
★ Some occur in 1st or 2nd or 3rd instances
★ Some symptoms appear in few provers at first while in others later
APHORISM 135
DRUG PROVING- WHEN TO STOP DRUG PROVING
★ All the symptoms medicine is capable of producing can be obtained only by

★ Repeated experiments on many provers- various constitutions
★ Both the sexes
★ Medicines produces morbid states - symptoms -
★ PURE POWERS OF ALTERING HEALTH OF MAN
★ When little novel ( new symptoms) are coming
★ SAME SYMPTOMS ARE REPEATED
APHORISM 136
DRUG PROVING- ALL DRUGS PRODUCE CERTAIN SYMPTOMS
★ All the alterations on health by medicines cannot be developed in one prover

★ Different provers of different age group are needed
★ But Tendency to excite all these symptoms in every human beings exists in
medicine, According to eternal and immutable laws of nature
★ As mentioned in 117, Idiosyncratic individuals although very few, give PQRS
symptoms which is not given by other provers
★ But if these symptoms are seen, then for each and every patients this medicine
always acts as CURATIVE
★ It produces artificial disease, and making free the patient and curing his natural
malady

★ PURE SYMPTOMS NOT SEEN
★ PRIMARY SYMPTOMS COME HURRIEDLY AND SECONDARY SYMPTOMS ARE SEEN
★ FELLOW PHYSICIANS CANT APPRECIATE OR IF HE IS NOT INTERESTED AS HE HAS NO
FEELINGS FOR HEALING OF MAN KIND
APHORISM 138
DRUG PROVING- EFFECTS OF MEDICINE
★ All the morbid symptoms seen on prover, changes in health are due to action of
medicines only
★ These are symptoms of medicines on the experimenter
★ If prover experienced the symptoms previously and now he gets these symptoms
then it is considered due to medicines only
★ Patient has disposition to excite such symptoms
★ They are solely due to ACTION MEDICINES
★ No symptom arises spontaneously
APHORISM 139
DRUG PROVING- WHEN PHYSICIAN IS NOT A PROVER HIMSELF
(Master Prover)
★ Prover should mention the changes in health, exact sensations, time of occurence
★ Duration of symptoms
★ Physician takes note of all the symptoms of patient, immediately after the
experiment
★ Physician takes note of all the minute changes in the health of the prover
★ Every day Physician notes the details as its fresh in the memory of the prover
★ Exact nature of symptoms is confirmed from the prover, accurate details noted
★ PROVER SHOULD BE TRUSTWORTHY
★ YOU HAVE TO TRUST THE PROVER’S STATEMENT AS THE SUFFERING HUMANITY IS
AT STAKE - symptoms of provers needs to be matched with patients---CURE
APHORISM 140
DRUG PROVING- ILLITERATE PROVER
★ If the prover is ILLITERATE

★ VOLUNTARY NARRATION OF THE PROVER IS IMPORTANT
★ Nothing conjectural no leading questions should be asked to the prover
★ To investigate this phenomena of experiment of drug proving--- SYMPTOMS OF
MEDICINES --- ACCURATELY OBSERVED --- CURE OF NATURAL DISEASE
★ Tracing the picture of this NATURAL disease
★ IN THE HEALTHY PROVER THIS PATHOGENESIS IS SEEN
APHORISM 141
DRUG PROVING- ADVANTAGES OF PHYSICIAN AS THE BEST PROVER
★ Great truth that he himself has experienced this morbid alterations in health
caused by the medicines which is the curative power ( when matched with the
natural diseases)
★ He is sensitive, he becomes more aware of his own sensations, his mode of
thinking, his dispositions.
★ He becomes a good observer, more zealous.
★ The purity of symptoms is maintained surely
★ As he is prover himself, he does not have to rely on others to understand exact
nature of symptoms, He won’t deceive himself
★ It’s not injurious at all but rather it increases the resistance of physician due to
repeated experiments, He becomes more robust
APHORISM 142
DRUG PROVING- FORMATION OF MATERIA MEDICA
★ In practice judgement is always needed to separate the symptoms of the remedy

from the symptoms of the malady ( natural diseases )
★ This judgement can be only drawn by Physician
★ It is higher art of judgement
APHORISM 143
DRUG PROVING- BUILDING HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
★ Number of simple medicines are proved produces number of symptoms-

ARTIFICIAL DISEASE- REAL, PURE SYMPTOMS OF POWERFUL MEDICINES
★ MEDICINES ARE INSTRUMENTS
★ They produce the artificial symptoms to be matched with the natural morbid
phenomena- The similarity between the two
★ If prover is paid
★ True symptoms may not be got- moral certainty and trustworthiness may not be
present
★ Can not achieve the True Healing Art
APHORISM 144
DRUG PROVING- BUILDING HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA
★ Thus Materia Medica constructed is absolutely REAL, TRUE, PURE

★ Not conjectural, imaginary
★ Pure experiment - symptoms are noted after pure experiment
★ Pure Language of Nature
★ Carefully, honestly interrogated to provers to note the Symptoms
★ Matching of the symptoms of patient with symptoms of provers listed in HMM

DRUG PROVING- HOMOEOPATHY IS TRUE HEALING ART: THE
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE
★ Pure mode of action of Medicines is already known by proving on healthy provers

★ From those accurately known can select one to match with the numerous natural
diseases
★ Few disease remain where exact similimum may not be met with among now
proved with their pure action but certainly cure is not by unknown mixtures which
aggravate chronic disease
★ Dr. Hahnemann was prover, his disciples also participated in the pure experiments
★ Services of other trustworthy provers
★ Constitute pure Materia Medica

APHORISM 169
LACK OF PERFECT MEDICINE -
★ At first instance the totality of morbid symptoms in patient is not covered by

disease symptoms of a single medicine ( listed in HMM )
★ If one appropriate medicine covers few symptoms and second appropriate
medicine covers another few symptoms YET NEVER TO GIVE TWO MEDICINES AT A
TIME If two remedies are CLOSE , give closest one
★ Do not give the SECOND without reexamining the case as case may change
★ Examine the case fresh before giving 2nd remedy.
APHORISM 170
LACK OF PERFECT MEDICINE -
★ When change in morbid state has occured ( due to previous administration of

partial similar medicine )
★ ( Not paying any attention to the previous medicine administered)
★ Another Appropriate medicine is given
★ At first the medicine which appeared the NEXT BEST may be given if indicated to
the remaining morbid state and if the physician is confident about it.
★ Administer it in preference to another
APHORISM 171
LACK OF PERFECT MEDICINE - In case of CHRONIC DISEASES
- PSORA
★ In case of NON- VENEREAL DISEASES --- PSORA

★ In order to effect a CURE ,
★ Give several ANTIPSORIC REMEDIES in succession
★ Every remedy is chosen on the group of symptoms remaining after the action of
previous remedy.
APHORISM 172
ONE SIDED DISEASES- TOO FEW SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE
★ One sided diseases are diseases with few symptoms

★ Difficult situation again
★ Difficult to treat
APHORISM 173
★ ONE SIDED DISEASES ARE CHRONIC DISEASES , WITH FEW SYMPTOMS

★ ONE or TWO SYMPTOMS
★ (CHRONIC DISEASES ARE CAUSED BY FUNDAMENTAL CAUSE
★ FUNDAMENTAL CAUSE IS MIASMS)
APHORISM 174
★ The principal symptoms - Headache, Diarrhoea- INTERNAL COMPLAINTS

★ EXTERNAL SYMPTOMS- seen on skin--- LOCAL MALADIES -- LOCAL DISEASES-
★ Symptoms felt by the patient are INTERNAL SYMPTOMS
★ Symptoms seen externally - EXTERNAL SYMPTOMS ( not due to external cause )
APHORISM 175
★ There are few symptoms

★ So at first kind it seems , one sided diseases are due to lack of discernment
(the ability to judge something well or the ability to understand and
comprehend something ) of physician to judge the symptoms and construct
the portrait of disease.
★ ( But its not the case )
APHORISM 176
★ After careful observations / case taking

★ There are few cases
★ With only few symptoms
★ Only 1 or 2 Symptoms may be of violent nature
★ Others are of vague nature
APHORISM 177
★ Although rare cases

★ With few symptoms
★ Selection of Similimum is based on
★ These few symptoms
APHORISM 178
★ If these few symptoms are

★ PECULIAR, STRIKING, UNCOMMON, CHARACTERISTIC IN NATURE
★ Selection of REMEDY on strict HOMOEOPATHIC PRINCIPLES
★ This REMEDY has potential to produce similar artificial disease
★ To remove the morbid symptoms of natural disease
★ CURE
APHORISM 179
★ Very often
★ The medicine chosen in such cases may be PARTIALLY SIMILAR
★ The number of symptoms are short
★ To arrive at ACCURATE PRESCRIPTION
APHORISM 180
★ In such cases the as the remedy is UNHOMOEOPATHIC

★ It is partially (analogous ) similar
★ Some symptoms are cured
★ Ref. to Aphorism 162 - due to limited number of remedies available,
imperfect remedy produces accessory symptoms ( symptoms of this
unhomoeopathic remedy ) These symptoms are mixed with symptoms of
patient)
★ New symptoms arise - patient may have experienced in past, some
symptoms which were vague may become pronounced
APHORISM 181
★ The new symptoms are due to the medicine administered

★ Whole collection of symptoms is now considered as due to disease
itself.
★ Totality is considered for further selection of remedy
APHORISM 182
★ This imperfect selection of medicine was inevitable

★ Due to few symptoms
★ This medicine now completes the Totality ( as it produces few unhomoeopathic
symptoms
★ Thus this imperfect selection of medicine
★ Facilitates selection of 2nd more accurate, suitable medicine
APHORISM 183
★ When the first dose of the medicine ceases to have a beneficial effect
★ A new examination of TOTALITY is formed of morbid state
★ Selection of 2nd SUITABLE REMEDY
★ Now the selection of MORE APPROPRIATE REMEDY
★ Now the symptoms constituting totality are more in number
★ Helps to complete the totality
★ FN: Rare in chronic cases, but seen in acute diseases, patient feels very ill but has
few symptoms or indistinct symptoms is due to benumbed state of nerves can be
treated by Opium- it is patient’s internal sensibility and in its secondary action
symptoms are distinctly present
APHORISM 184
★ Each new dose of medicine has now exhausted its action and suitableess
★ The state of disease now which remains is to be examined new
★ New suitable medicine is searched
★ To complete the cure
APHORISM 185
LOCAL MALADIES
★ LOCAL MALADIES : ailments occur on external parts of the body
★ Old school considers that the disease is only external and other body parts did
not participate
★ This is absurd, theoretical
★ This has lead to most dangerous treatment
★ ( How any external visible manifestation on skin can occur without internal
disturbance? )
★ ( Dangerous treatment in the form of local application)
★ ( Although disease manifestation seen externally, the cause is not external, its
internal, symptoms seen externally and this outlet of expression of internal
disturbance was closed with so called external application--- SUPPRESSION)
APHORISM 186
ONE SIDED DISEASES- TOO FEW SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE-
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Local maladies are seen on external surface

★ Caused by external cause of trivial nature OR
★ Caused by external cause of severe injury- Severe inflammation, fever,
fracture, haemorrhage -- Rx. Mechanical aid, ligation of artery, extraction of
foreign body, evacuation of ascites, pleural effusion, Surgery for ligation of
wounds.
★ Whole living organism requires dynamic aid to accomplish the work of healing
★ Homoeopathic treatment is beneficial, essential, necessary in addition to this
APHORISM 187
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Affections of external parts but cause is not external

★ Affections of external parts where external injury acts as an exciting cause
★ The real cause is INTERNAL MORBID DYSCRASIA
★ External affection has aroused on the skin NOT DUE TO ANY EXTERNAL INJURY
★ External affection has aroused on the skin DUE TO SOME INTERNAL MORBID
DISTURBANCE
★ The treatment of such ailment CAN NEVER BE TOPICAL APPLICATION ( Old school)
★ It is PERNICIOUS, ABSURD (causes suppression- disease present externally is
removed and now changes the location e.g. eczema removed causes asthma)
APHORISM 188
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Old school considered these local diseases seen externally on skin as merely due to
some external cause but there was not any external cause
★ These local maladies have not appeared externally without internal disturbance
★ But old school physician were ignorant about this, they treated all external
affections occured not due to external cause with local applications
★ (Their temporary disappearance under the influence of ointments used as local
application closed the channel which was an outlet for expression of internal
morbid disturbance which further lead to affection of more deeper systems)
APHORISM 189
LOCAL MALADIES
★ It is easily understood that no external malady can arise, persist or grow without
internal cause and co-operation of entire organism
★ Vital force which controls and pervades the systems of entire organism has
participated in for the development of this external malady.
★ The disease seen externally has arrived due to disturbance of vital force and entire
system has participated in its production.
★ No eruption, no whitlow, no tumour can arise without internal disturbance of life
force.
APHORISM 190
LOCAL MALADIES
★ All those external maladies ( corns, warts, eczema, acne, boils ) arise
★ Solely due to disturbance of LIFE FORCE / INTERNAL CAUSE
★ Not due to any injury or very little type
★ TREATMENT DIRECTED TO CURE THIS DERANGED LIFE FORCE / CURE OF THIS
INTERNAL MALADY
★ TREATMENT MUST BE JUDICIOUS, RADICAL, EFFICACIOUS
★ INTERNAL MEDICATION ONLY
APHORISM 191
LOCAL MALADIES
★ ADMINISTER INTERNAL MEDICINE ONLY

★ EVERY INTERNAL MEDICINE BRINGS CHANGES IN GENERAL HEALTH
★ AND IN AFFECTED EXTERNAL PARTS--- called as LOCAL DISEASE e.g. warts, corns, eczema
★ HEALTH IS RESTORED, AS WELL EXTERNAL MALADY DISAPPEARS
★ WITHOUT ADMINISTRATION OF EXTERNAL REMEDY
★ SELECTION OF THE INTERNAL REMEDY IS DONE ON PATIENT AS A WHOLE --- TOTALITY
OF SYMPTOMS
APHORISM 192
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Selection of remedy is considered on the basis of

★ Symptoms of external malady and
★ Symptoms of MIND and BODY
★ All the symptoms of patient are considered
★ Remedy is selected on the basis of SIMILARITY
★ PATHOGENESIS OF SUCH REMEDY is already in HMM
★ So matching of remedy is done with the totality of symptoms
★ Truly homoeopathic remedy
APHORISM 193
LOCAL MALADIES
★ If the disease is of Recent Origin
★ Internal Medicine selected on above said way of formulating totality
★ External Morbid Affection + Internal Morbid Affection of general health---
MIND & BODY
★ With the very first dose of internal medicine, the local affection along with
internal morbid state is restored.
★ Local affection seen although on external parts of body is inseparable from the
rest of body ( internal morbid state expresses itself; finds a channel on the
external surface of body)
★ It is one of the most important symptom of whole disease
APHORISM 194
LOCAL MALADIES
★ In acute local diseases of recent origin or local diseases of long duration (chronic
in nature) GIVE INTERNAL REMEDY
★ It is NEVER ADVISABLE To APPLY / RUB EXTERNALLY THE SAME REMEDY
★ Not also in acute inflammations e.g. erysipelas which are not caused by external
injury but by DYNAMIC INTERNAL CAUSE
★ They are cured by INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION OF SIMILIMUM
★ In local disease it is of no use to apply remedies locally for the topical application
even if it is the same remedy that is used internally
★ Local diseases are cured readily by this internal medicine and if not then the
acute disease was product of PSORA, latent till now but active and may develop
into chronic disease.
APHORISM 195
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Apho 194*
★ Local diseases are cured readily by this internal medicine and if not then the
acute (local) disease was product of PSORA, latent till now but active and may
develop into chronic disease.
★ Such chronic maladies of non=venereal nature of psoric origin
★ Treatment of Such Diseases to effect a CURE is by administration of Antipsoric
remedy
APHORISM 196
LOCAL MALADIES
★ It might seem that cure would be hastened by the application of remedy locally as
well as internally
★ It appears that cure might be hastened by the INTERNAL MEDICINE + EXTERNAL
LOCAL APPLICATION to hasten the cure
★ (It is just Assumption, not a statement)
★ ( Aphorism 197 * BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE )
APHORISM 197
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Aphorism 196*It appears that cure might be hastened by the INTERNAL

MEDICINE + EXTERNAL LOCAL APPLICATION to hasten the cure BUT THIS
SHOULD NOT BE DONE
★ It is not advisable
★ In diseases where there is a local symptom on external surface of the body,
the application of remedy to the surface may annihilate the local symptoms,
Before the internal disease
★ This MAY SEEM to be a cure
★ But it is NOT CURE
APHORISM 198
ONE SIDED DISEASES- TOO FEW SYMPTOMS OF
DISEASE- LOCAL MALADIES
★ The use of LOCAL APPLICATION OF REMEDY

★ Which is POWERFUL TO CURE when given INTERNALLY (NEVER TO BE DONE )
★ If the local affection is removed then most distinguishing symptom is removed for
selection of remedy
★ The symptoms which remain are less peculiar, less characteristics
★ Picture of disease is now can not be formed ( as many characteristic symptoms are
removed )
APHORISM 199
ONE SIDED DISEASES- TOO FEW SYMPTOMS OF
DISEASE- LOCAL MALADIES
★ Double problem arise when --- Remedy perfect to the disease is not
yet found, and --- local symptoms removed by corrosive application
★ Case becomes much more difficult
★ Due to characteristic symptoms present are removed
★ Uncharacteristic symptoms are present
★ SELECTION OF SIMILIMUM is difficult
★ LOCAL SYMPTOM(which was removed, may have contributed to the
selection of the remedy and its internal employment to annihilate the
disease totally
APHORISM 200
LOCAL MALADIES
★ If this local symptom was not removed
★ The perfect suitable homoeopathic remedy was found FOR WHOLE DISEASE
★ EXTERNAL MALADY as well INTERNAL MORBID symptoms
★ If after employment of INTERNAL REMEDY, local symptoms persists it means,
cure was incomplete
★ If local symptom disappears after the internal medication then the desired
result OF CURE is ACCOMPLISHED
★ This is possible only when local external symptom was not removed by
ointments
APHORISM 201
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Vital force keeps the chronic disease by adopting the plan of developing the malady on external
parts -SKIN - KEEPING THE DISEASE IN SILENCE / PROTECTING THE INTERNAL ORGANS
★ It transfers the internal disease to local disease thus protecting the vital organs
★ The local malady silences the internal affection but without curing the internal disease.
★ Local affection is a part of general disease, as the disease gets worse, the external
manifestation gets worse.
★ Vital force can not remove internal disease but internal disease increases and thus local
affection also increases to keep the internal disease under control
★ Old ulcers increase as the internal psora increases/ chancre increases as internal syphilis is
uncured / warts increase while sycosis is uncured
APHORISM 202
LOCAL MALADIES
★ If the old school physician applies topical ointment to external malady
under the (false) belief to cure the whole malady
★ If the external disease when destroyed, nature will make up the loss by
increasing the internal malady as well as other symptoms which were
latent till now.
★ This is incorrectly referred as external local malady is being driven back
into the system
APHORISM 203
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Every external treatment given to remove the external disease with the objective
to remove from surface of body
★ The internal miasmatic disease is left uncured
★ E.G. psoric eruptions by ointments, chancre by caustics, condylomata by knife or by
cautery
★ This is the most Pernicious mode of treatment is the source of named or
unnamed chronic diseases
★ It is a criminal procedure and medical world should be guilty of
★ But it is taught officially as the only one present
★ F.N. Same remedy when given internally only aggravated the disease as have no
specific power of curing the disease.
APHORISM 204
LOCAL MALADIES - TREATMENT
★ All chronic diseases excluding --- ( causes )
★ Unhealthy mode of living * 77
★ Some chronic diseases diseases due to violent medicinal treatment * 74
★ Remainder of diseases are caused by SYCOSIS, SYPHILIS and maximum times PSORA *80
★ This INTERNAL PSORA had long ago penetrated deep into the system before it localised
externally. E.G. Scabies in PSORA; Condylomatas in SYCOSIS; Chancre in SYPHILIS which
prevented their outburst in internal vital organs
★ If these local symptoms removed then system is deprived of its outlet and develops
number of chronic diseases
★ This could have been avoided if the physicians did not remove the local symptom by
ointments but should have given ANTIMIASMATIC REMEDY to silent the 3 miasms
APHORISM 205
LOCAL MALADIES- TREATMENT
★ Homoeopath never does local treatment of the primary symptoms of miasms

★ Also he does not treat secondary symptoms of miasms
★ Nor he gives any external agent which acts dynamically or mechanically
★ He cures the underlying miasm
★ BUT THE OLD SCHOOL PRACTITIONER DOES NOT STOP FROM APPLYING LOCAL
OINTMENTS TO THESE EXTERNAL LESIONS ON SKIN- local symptoms as well
secondary symptoms due to break through of internal miasm
★ Physician’s REFLECTION, OBSERVATION, EXPERIENCE
APHORISM 205 F. N.
LOCAL MALADIES
★ F. N. Development of cancer of breast is the outcome of PSORA
★ Application of Dynamic Remedy locally. Frere cosmay’s paste of Arsenic. a caustic
of Arsenic.
★ The dynamic remedy even if able to successfully remove the local malady of
malignant ulcer but internal malady remains the same.
★ The preserving Vital force then transfers the internal malady to more important
parts resulting in blindness, asthma, deafness, insanity, apoplexy- Metastasis
★ It is ambiguous , Application of Arsenic to malignant ulcer is helpful which has not
developed in size and vital force is energetic means having good vital strength then
complete internal cure is practicable
APHORISM 206
- LOCAL MALADIES -TREATMENT
★ While treating a chronic disease it is necessary to check whether the patient had
history of Venereal chronic disease- history of condylomatous disease due to
gonorrhea or syphilitic chancre
★ When the syphilis is complicated with psora
★ At times both miasms may be complicated with Sycosis
★ Internal Itch PSORA is the fundamental cause of chronic disease
★ It is the cause of numerous chronic diseases under various names
★ All these chronic diseases have increased to maximum extent due to such treatment
APHORISM 206 F. N.
LOCAL MALADIES
★ While investigating cause of chronic disease

★ Patient and his relatives assign to COLD AIR, COLD WATER
★ Past history of sprains, former fright, vexations
★ But these causes are insignificant to develop the chronic disease
★ Which stays for years and increases
★ `There is much more deep cause at the roots to progress a serious obstinate
chronic disease
★ THERE IS UNDERLYING CAUSE OF LATENT CHRONIC MIASM
APHORISM 207
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Physician should know history of treatment received by patient

★ Homoeopathic physician has to inquire what kind of treatment the patient has so
far received
★ What kind of treatment or medicines this patient has taken
★ Physician can avoid the repetition of the medicines employed so far and improperly
given
APHORISM 209
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Base of prescription
★ After all these actions physician should frequently interact with patient
★ To complete the picture of disease
★ To search most PECULIAR, STRIKING, CHARACTERISTIC SYMPTOMS
★ To give FIRST ANTIPSORIC REMEDY / SIMILIMUM WITH THE GREATEST
SIMILARITY WITH THE TOTALITY
APHORISM 208
LOCAL MALADIES
★ Physician should consider the PERSONAL HISTORY

★ While taking case physician should take note of
★ Patient’s Age, Diet, Mode of Living, Occupation, Domestic situation and his social
relations
★ To assess whether these factors responsible for the development of the malady
★ To understand disposition of MIND, EMOTIONS
★ Which played the role in development of diseases
★ Can act as hindrance in treatment
★ Above factors may need to be modified or encouraged

MENTAL DISEASES (210 - 230)
★ All one sided diseases are PSORIC
★ Diseases with condition of DISPOSITION OF MIND IS ALTERED
★ Mental diseases are not a separate class
★ In all diseases mind is altered

★ Disposition is different before illness and after illness
★ [ Disposition of mind is mood or general attitude of the person towards life,
positive or negative way a person views the world.]
APHORISM 211

and DISPOSITION ( seen in healthy prover)
APHORISM 213
MENTAL DISEASES
★ Homoeopathic Cure-( Natural Science) is not possible if we do not observe the

disposition of mind of patient
★ Even in acute diseases observe the symptoms of mind along with the other
symptoms should be observed
★ Select the remedy such that it has produced the symptoms as in its pathogenesis as
the symptoms of mind and disposition ( during proving)
★ E.G. Aconite does not cure calm, quiet; Nux does not suit to mild, Pulsatilla does
not suit to happy gay patient

★ Physical symptoms are so light
★ Appears one sided disease like
★ A local disease in invisible subtle organ of mind
★ Somatopsychic diseases
APHORISM 216
MENTAL DISEASES 1] Mental symptoms arise with decline of corporeal
symptoms
★ E.G. - Suppuration of Lungs ---- Insanity
★ Affection of Gross / Corporeal / Bodily / Physical changes are transferred to

★ Spiritual / Mental / Emotional organs --- But not such organ exists physically
★ Anatomist will never reach with scalpel as the disease is on Mental plane
★ Many physical ailments of acute character transform into insanity and then
physical symptoms cease
APHORISM 217
MENTAL DISEASES -1] Mental symptoms arise with decline of corporeal
symptoms
★ Physician should understand both --- PHYSICAL and

Hyoscymus, Mercury
★ Highly potentised minute doses of Homoeopathic Remedies
★ Immediate Antipsoric remedies not required
★ Superficial remedies are given
APHORISM 222
★ Acute mental emotional diseases are treated by remedies like Aconite, Belladona
★ These are superficial remedies, not antipsoric remedies
★ These remedies alleviate these symptoms ( Psora again goes to latent stage )
★ TREATMENT must be
★ 1] Antipsoric treatment
★ 2] Proper Diet and Regimen
★ Prevents its recurrence
APHORISM 222 F. N.
★ It is very rare case that Mental or emotional disease of very long standing
disappears automatically
★ The patients in the Madhouses have never recovered, never cured
★ The non healing art of ALLOPATHY never cured

★ Cinchona bark (sulphate of quinine) was given for recurring fevers (typhus)
★ But in few cases it was not helpful and caused bark dyscrasia, health not restored
APHORISM 235 F.N.- 2
INTERMITTENT DISEASES - TYPICAL INTERMITTENT DISEASES
FEBRILE TYPE -1) Epidemic/ sporadic type of fever
★ Dr. Boenninghausen in 1833 wrote a book Therapeutics of

Intermittent fever
★ Guidance how to choose the remedy in various types of
Intermittent fever
APHORISM 236
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -1) Epidemic / sporadic type of
fever
★ TIME OF ADMINISTRATION
★ Very soon after the termination of paroxysm
★ If given before the fever paroxysm coincides with the natural disease course
★ Causes violent aggravation can be fatal (e.g. opium given in cold stage, patient died)
★ Given at the termination of paroxysm / APYREXIAL PHASE
★ Vital force is in good condition to receive the similimum and gets altered and thus
restored
★
APHORISM 237
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -1) Epidemic / sporadic type of fever
★ TIME OF ADMINISTRATION
★ If the stage of fever is short
★ Then give the medicine when Sweat stage starts abate (decreasing)
★ Or when fever starts decreasing
APHORISM 238
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -1) Epidemic/ sporadic type of fever
★ SINGLE DOSE OFTEN DESTROYS the several attacks of fever

★ But another dose may be required to be given to cure
★ Aphorism 270 - new dynamization- dynamizing the each successive doses
★ Can give repetition
★ If fever returns may be due to staying in marshy regions
★ Ask the patient to go to mountainous region
APHORISM 239
★ Every medicine produces a peculiar fever

★ There are vast number of Homoeopathic remedies which
cover various states of fever
★ For many types of fever
★ Moderate number of medicines cover all these variety of
fevers
APHORISM 240
★ If in the prevalent epidemic fever homoeopathic specific remedy is

not curative
★ Patient not under the influence of Marshy area
★ Miasm PSORA is in background
★ Antipsoric remedy will bring cure
APHORISM 241
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -2) Epidemic type
★ Every epidemic is considered as of peculiar, new and uniform character

★ It is common to all individuals attacked- same symptoms
★ Form the totality of symptoms
★ It is suitable to all the cases (most of the cases ) to the
★ People who enjoyed health before occurrence of epidemic, not having developed
psora
★ These are not the cases which are endemic (disease present throughout the year)
★ Endemic diseases are chronic in nature
★ Cause is PSORA
APHORISM 242
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -2) Epidemic type
★ If in such epidemic intermittent fever the first paroxysm is left uncured

★ Or treated / weakened by improper allopathic treatment
★ Then inherent PSORA which was in latent stage develops
★ Here the medicine which would have been useful in first few paroxysms which
was similimum but not antipsoric is no longer effective
★ Treatment
★ Minute and rarely repeated doses of Hepar sulph or sulphur in high potency
APHORISM 243
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -3) Pernicious fevers in single
person not residing in a marshy district
★ Similimum is selected like in acute variety

★ This similimum is not antipsoric but a well proved medicine
★ If recovery is deferred then psora is in the background
★ Antipsoric medicines alone can effect a radical cure
APHORISM 244
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -4) Endemic in marshy district
★ Intermittent fevers endemic in marshy districts and tracts of country are frequently
exposed to such marshy air
★ A healthy man in his youth becomes habituated to this marshy place and remain in
good health if he takes proper diet and regimen
★ He remains in health even if fatigue or pernicious (harmful effects)passions
★ Intermittent fevers endemic here attack him on his first arrival
★ Treatment: One or two small doses of highly potentised cinchona with proper diet
and regimen will readily free him from this disease
★ But if in spite of good exercise, occupation, not cured then PSORA is in background
★ Treatment: Antipsoric remedy. Goto dry mountainous area
APHORISM 244 F.N. 1
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -4) Endemic in marshy district
★ Large doses of cinchona or sulphate of quinine are given

★ These remedies are given to clear the marshy intermittent
fever.
★ They claim that such patients are cured but it is
★ INCURABLE QUININE INTOXICATION
APHORISM 245
DISEASES FEBRILE TYPE -MANAGEMENT
★ We have discussed,
★ HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT to various types of diseases
★ INDICATED REMEDIES to these diseases
★ Let’s understand
★ RULES OF REPETITION & DIET AND REGIMEN
★ Never repeat the remedy as long as amelioration lasts
★ Every new dose may disturb the amelioration phase and action of the remedy
APHORISM 246
RULES OF REPETITION
★ As long as amelioration is progressing - Medicine is acting doing good

★ REPETITION is not done
★ Remedy brings CURE- In Acute and Chronic diseases
★ Important is Rapid Cure brought readily if
★ 1. Medicine selected is perfectly HOMOEOPATHIC
★ 2.Medicine is Highly potentized, dissolved in water, small doses
★ For quickest cure THE DEGREE OF EVERY DOSE DEVIATE FROM THE FORMER AND
★ VITAL PRINCIPLE to be corrected by similar disease not allowed to give any violent
reaction
APHORISM 246 F. N.
RULES OF REPETITION
★ To prevent the undesirable aggravations of vital energy

★ Dr. Hahnemann experimented for last 4 -5 years (1842) and said he
solved this problem(that vital force does not permit the frequent doses
of deep acting remedy) by NEW ALTERED BUT PERFECTED METHOD
★ The remedy now can be given for days together
★ NEW DYNAMIZATION method
★ LM Potency
★ FOR RAPID CURE
APHORISM 247
RULES OF REPETITION- For Rapid Cure-Remedy must be changed in
potency before repetition
★ It is impractical to repeat the same unchanged dose of the remedy and
frequent repetition
★ Vital force does not accept the unchanged potency of the remedy without
resistance
★ Former dose has done all good it can do and 2nd dose given does not find the
same condition of vital force
★ 2nd unchanged dose may make patient more sicker
★ 1st dose was beneficial so it has removed few symptoms, hence the 2nd dose
was no longer matching, can produce the non homoeopathic symptoms
★ No cure takes place
APHORISM 247 F.N.
RULES OF REPETITION- For Rapid Cure-
★ If succeeding dose changed slightly may be potentized somewhat higher

★ Then the vital principle is altered without difficulty (aggravation)
★ The abnormal sensations diminish bringing rapid cure
★ F. N. One pellet(small rounded mass of substance- globules) of the same potency
was beneficial then the 2nd dose even if taken dry or dissolved in water and was
potentised does not prove beneficial
★ Every dose in its dynamization if modified then even if it is repeated frequently
★ This best selected medicine removes the morbid disorder from vital energy and
extinguishes the disorder.
APHORISM 248
RULES OF REPETITION- NEW DYNAMIZATIONS
★ Potentize a new medicinal solution with 8, 10 ,12 succussions

★ Give patient 1 or several tea spoon fulls daily or every 2nd day or in acute diseases
every 2 to 6 hrs or in most urgent cases every hour
★ In chronic diseases the similimum can be repeated for months with success
★ Add to the next solution one or several pellets of same medicine if still indicated
and continued so long as patient experiences improvement
★ If remaining disease symptoms are altered then another remedy is indicated
★ But modify the dose with succussions
★ If in chronic diseases the remedy is given daily in chronic diseases then
★ Homoeopathic aggravation takes place at the end of treatment (161)
APHORISM 248
RULES OF REPETITION- SChein symptoms
★ The medicinal disease due to over dosing of remedy only persists

★ The doses now repeated at longer intervals or stopped for several days
★ THE APPARENT SYMPTOMS CAUSED DUE TO THE EXCESS OF THE DOSES OF
MEDICINE, SOON DISAPPEAR (as the action of medicine gets exhausted)
★ SCHEIN SYMPTOMS - apparent symptoms SOON DISAPPEAR HEALTH
★ If only 1 globule is dissolved in 1 drachm of bottle used and added alcohol, then
succussed, by olfaction every 2,4,6 days but before this is given it is succussed 8
to 10 times by olfaction
APHORISM 248 F.N.
RULES OF REPETITION- NEW DYNAMIZATION
★ 40, 30, 20, 15, 8 Tablespoonful of water with addition of alcohol or piece of
charcoal which is removed before succussion
★ Take a globule ( rarely it is necessary to take more than 1 globule) of thoroughly
potentised medicine in 7 -8 table spoonful of water.
★ Give succussions
★ Take now 1 tablespoonful of water and put in 7-8 tablespoonful of water
★ Stirred thoroughly and give 1 tablespoonful of water and give it to patient
★ If he is sensitive then put 1 teaspoonful of this solution and put in second glass of
water thoroughly stirred and teaspoonful dose given and so on
★ The globule of high potency crushed in Sugar milk and then dissolved in water.
APHORISM 249 F.N. 1, F.N.2
MEDICINAL AGGRAVATION, THE DOSE
★ F. N. 1 The dose of the medicine can scarcely be made small to effect amelioration
as otherwise it won’t act. (275 - 278) If no improvement or slight aggravation
ensues old school repeats the dose thinking it was a weak medicine, not effective,
so they increase the dose
★ Every new symptom indicates unsuitable medicine, but not weak dose
★ F. N. 2 The physician who has knowledges and is well informed and conscientious
★ Will not require antidote in practice
★ He will use small dose
APHORISM 249
MEDICINAL AGGRAVATION, THE DOSE
★ NEW ADDITION OF TROUBLESOME SYMPTOMS
★ After administration of the remedy. This remedy is not capable of curing
★ This remedy is Not the SIMILIMUM. IMPROPER REMEDY
★ Give ANTIDOTE
★ New Remedy is prescribed
APHORISM 250
MEDICINAL AGGRAVATION
★ Observant practitioner, physician who investigates the state of disease

★ In urgent cases within few hours he comes to know that he has made a bad
selection of remedy and patient is worsening
★ Occurence of NEW SYMPTOMS AND HIS OWN SUFFERINGS
★ He should remedy his mistake
★ He should select the most appropriate homoeopathic remedy suitable for the
existing disease
APHORISM 251
ALTERNATING ACTION
★ Remedies like Ignatia, Bryonia, Rhus tox show ALTERNATING ACTION

★ IT’S a PRIMARY ACTION
★ During proving the power of altering man’s state of health is - ALTERNATING
ACTION
★ During prescribing if no improvement occurs
★ Give a fresh and equally small dose of the same medicine
★ In Acute disease - give within hours
★ F. N. - In the introduction of Ignatia - Dr. Hahnemann said in the first volume of
MMP
APHORISM 252
MAINTAINING CAUSE MUST BE REMOVED FOR CURE
★ In the treatment of chronic diseases,

★ SIMILIMUM- ANTIPSORIC MEDICINE - IN THE MINUTE DOSE
★ If improvement is not seen
★ The cause is persistent
★ Maintaining cause
★ In mode of life of patient
★ Must be removed to effect a permanent cure
APHORISM 253
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT
★ In Acute Disease, - commencement of amelioration

★ STATE OF MIND AND WHOLE GENERAL STATE starts improving
★ DEGREE OF COMFORT, INCREASED CALMNESS,FREEDOM OF MIND, HIGH SPIRITS
(FRESH, ENERGETIC) -- Return of natural state
★ If aggravation
★ CONSTRAINED, PITIABLE STATE OF THE DISPOSITION OF MIND, BODY, GESTURES,
POSTURES, ACTIONS
★ Physician should perceive in close observation
APHORISM 253 F. N.
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT- MINUTE DOSE
★ The signs of improvement in the disposition of mind and body

★ Soon after SIMILIMUM, MINUTE DOSE
★ Large dose of even homoeopathic medicine causes long lasting disturbance of
mind and body
★ Converted homoeopaths and others have prejudices
★ They Fail to understand the salutary effects of smallest dose of lowest dilutions of
homoeopathic medicine
APHORISM 254
THE OBSERVING PHYSICIAN WILL NOTE THE CHANGE,
NOT PATIENT
★ AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING SYMPTOMS
★ OR AMELIORATION OF THE SYMPTOMS
★ The attentive observing or investigative physician
★ Will check
★ Sometimes patients are unwilling to tell about aggravation or amelioraion
APHORISM 255
FOLLOW UP CRITERIAS EVALUATION
★ Even though if patients don't communicate or unwilling to tell if they are ameliorated
or aggravated
★ Physician then goes through all the notes and ask symptoms of the disease. One by
one
★ Patients has no new unusual symptoms
★ None old symptoms are worse
★ If improvement in Mind and Disposition have already occured means medicine has
made a positive effect or may soon effect it
★ If the remedy is appropriate yet and improvement is delayed it is due to errors of
patient
★ Which interferes with the action of remedy, obstacle to cure
APHORISM 256
FOLLOW UP CRITERIAS EVALUATION
★ If patient mentions the incidence of fresh symptoms

★ Means new symptoms arise
★ If patient is good natured then he won’t tell
★ But e.g. in Phthisis patient ( T. B. ) lung abscess is common
★ Physician should not believe patient’s assurance that he feels better when new
symptoms arise
★ Consider the state is aggravated
★ Don’t believe on patient
APHORISM 257
FAVOURITE REMEDY- SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE
★ True physician will avoid favourite remedies prescription

★ By chance some remedies were useful, more often prescribed
★ Physician May not consider the remedies which were homoeopathically suitable
★ So more effective
★ So physician may neglect such important remedies
★ May miss their prescription
APHORISM 258
ALL REMEDIES ARE GOOD IF SIMILARITY IS MATCHED
★ If you avoid some remedies because you have bad results with them
★ But it's the fault of physician
★ All remedies are useful when the similarity is matched with the
totality
★ No paltry prejudices should interfere with this choice
APHORISM 259
DIET AND REGIMEN - IN CHRONIC DISEASE
★ The doses are so small of homoeopathic medicines anything which has

medicinal action must be removed from the diet and regimen
★ These substances which have some medicinal value interferes with the
action of the medicine
★ So avoid strong medicinal substances
★ Which can extinguish the small homoeopathic medicine.
APHORISM 260
★ Physician should remove the obstacles in cure.

★ In chronic disease this is very important as the disease is aggravated by such
★ Noxious influences and other disease causing errors in
★ Diet and regimen
★ F.N. - DIET: Coffee, chinese herbs,tea, beer, punch, spiced chocolate, perfumes,
spicy food, dishes of herbs , roots, stalks of plants, with medicinal properties,
celery, onions, old cheese, meat, pork meat, liquors undiluted with water.
APHORISM 260 F.N.
★ REGIMEN: Heated rooms , woollen clothing, sedentary life or passive exercise-

driving, swinging, long siesta, sitting long at night, uncleanliness, unnatural
debauchery, reading obscene books by lying down, onanism, suppressed
intercourse to prevent conception
★ Subjects of anger, grief, vexations, passion for play, over exertion of mind and body,
staying in marshy districts, damp rooms, pernicious( harmful ) living.
★ All these things must be removed or avoided so as cure may not be obstructed
★ Some physicians increase the difficulties of patient diet by preventing the use of
tolerably indifferent things which
APHORISM 261
★ The most appropriate regimen during administration of medicine in chronic

diseases
★ Removal of such obstacles to recovery
★ Provide innocent and moral and intellectual recreation
★ Active exercise in open air, daily walks, slight manual labour
★ Provide suitable nutritious un - medicinal food or drink
APHORISM 262
DIET AND REGIMEN - IN ACUTE DISEASE
★ In acute diseases ( except in mental diseases ) the patient should be allowed to eat
what he wants
★ His desires are due to internal sense of life preserving faculty- mind- intelligence
★ Physician should advice friends and relatives not to refuse the things patient
wishes such as food, drink
★ But if it is of injurious type then don’t give to patient
APHORISM 263
DIET AND REGIMEN - IN ACUTE DISEASE- Grant the things
★ In acute disease patient desires certain things which give him a
palliative relief
★ They are not medicinal value, its just patient’s desire
★ If they are not given to gratify the patient’s desire within the limits
★ It can oppose the radical cure of the patient
★ Provide the temperature of room, type of coverings - warm or cold
must be arranged according to patient’s wish
★ Patient must be away from all overexertion of mind and body
★ F.N. 1 In acute inflammatory diseases where Aconite is indicated,
patient desires cold water and its action gets destroyed by
consuming vegetable acids
APHORISM 264- PHARMACY
SOURCE MUST BE GENUINE PURE MEDICINE
★ The true physician must be provided with genuine source

★ Having its inherent power
★ Physician should judge, confirm the purity and genuineness of
medicine
RIGHT MEDICINE
★ PHYSICIAN MUST HIMSELF PREPARE THE MEDICINE

★ Physician should confirm that patient takes right medicine
★ Right medicine means PURE, GENUINE, SIMILIMUM
★ Preferably physician himself prepares the medicine
★ And dispenses to patient
ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE REMEDIES ARE BEST IN RAW STATE
★ Substances belonging to animal and vegetable kingdoms possess their medicinal

properties in raw state
★ F. N. All crude animal and vegetable substances have medicinal power
★ They alter man’s state of health in their own peculiar way
★ Many plants and animals are used as food due to their nutritious property.
★ They may have less medicinal properties or its destroyed while cooking / culinary
way
★ Extraction, Fermentation, addition of vinegar for pickle, smoking, boiling, stewing,
toasing, baking-- All such processes destroy medicinal properties
★ Addition of salts, vinegar also destroys the medicinal properties
APHORISM 266 F. N.- PHARMACY
ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE REMEDIES ARE BEST IN RAW
STATE
★ Those plants which possess medicinal property
★ These properties are lost during such processes
★ By Desiccation all the roots of various iris , of the horse radish or arum and the peonies
lose almost all their medicinal virtue
★ The juice of virulent plants becomes inert, pitch like mass due to the heat employed in
preparation of extracts
★ By merely keeping for long time, the expressed juice of the deadly plant becomes
powerless, even at atmospheric temperature it rapidly takes on vinous(resembling red
wine in colour) fermentation losing all medicinal power.
★ When number of green plants are laid one above other they lose their medicinal
property
PREPARATION OF EXTRACTS- indigenous plants
★ Powers of indigenous plants in the fresh state

★ Mixing their freshly expressed juice with equal parts of spirit
★ Keep in closed stoppered bottle for a day and night
★ Fibrinous and albuminous matter is deposited
★ Superincumbent (lying on something) liquid is decanted( gradually pour from
one container to other) off for medicinal use
★ Due to wine it is not fermented
★ Kept in well corked bottles, away from sunlight
APHORISM 267-F. N. PHARMACY
★ F. N. 1- Buchhloz said we have to thank Russia in (1812) for Mode of operating

medicines in 1812
★ It is unjust practice of Germans not to give credit to countrymen (Dr. Hahnemann)
★ The directions given are just the words of Dr, Hahnemann from 1st edition of
Organon of Medicine (1810)
★ Alcohol was used for mixing with vegetables
★ But it was never used to administer medicines with it
APHORISM 267-F. N. PHARMACY
★ F.N. 2 Generally equal parts of alcohol and freshly expressed juice

★ But for plants with Thick mucus e.g. symphytum, viola
★ Excess of albumen e.g. aethusa, solanum
★ Double alcohol is needed
★ Plants which are deficient in juice
★ Oleander, ledum
APHORISM 268-PHARMACY
GENUINE MEDICINE
★ The exotic plants, barks, seeds, roots which are not obtained in fresh state
★ The sensible physician will not take in Pulverised form
★ He will first convince himself in genuineness in the crude form
★ F.N. These are preserved as powder
★ Druggist neglect the even of well dried animal or vegetable could not be preserved
uninjured even in well- corked bottles
★ It may contain some moisture, can’t be preserved in cork bottles
★ This is best prevented by water bath
★ Spreading the moist powder in a flat tin saucer with a raised edge, stirring it and
drying so that small atoms are like fine sand powder (not forming lumps)-preserved
in dry well corked bottle, preserving the powers of medicine
★ Preserve in air tight - vessel, away from sun and daylight
APHORISM 269
POTENTIZATION
★ In homoeopathic system of medicine a method very special is

designed, uptill now never ever designed
★ Inner homoeopathic powers of the crude substance becomes
★ Penetrating and effective and remedial
★ Even though in the crude form there is no trace of the medicinal
property.
★ F.N. 1. Long before Dr. Hahnemann friction, several changes were
done in natural substances by warmth, heat, fire, magnetization of
steel
APHORISM 269 F. N.
POTENTIZATION
★ Friction brought physical changes or material changes in the substances

★ If physiological or pathological changes to happen in bodys it is the law of nature
that forces capable of changing the crude material of drug even they never have
shown the medicinal properties till now
★ This is brought by TRITURATION and SUCCUSSION
★ This wonderful law of physical, physiological, pathological was not discovered
before Dr. Hahnemann
★ Current physicians and students may not believe the powers present in the
medicine in minute doses prepared by dynamization method of potentization
APHORISM 269 F. N.
POTENTIZATION
★ F. N. 2 Magnetic energy is invisible but not seen in the interior of magnet

★ It magnetizes steel and iron but again magnetism not seen in their interior
★ The iron bar gets magnetized / dynamised after rubbing with magnet
★ It attracts the steel bar and imparts the magnetic property to steel bar in contact or
away from it
★ In the same way a TRITURATING a MEDICINAL SUBSTANCE and SHAKING A SOLUTION
★ DYNAMIZATION/ POTENTIZATION --- Develop the medicinal powers which were hidden
within
★ Spiritualizes the material substance itself
APHORISM 269 F. N.
POTENTIZATION
★ F. N. 3 - This stronger development of power within the medicinal substance

★ They are capable of producing changes in the state of health of man
★ If these natural substances in the improved state are brought
★ Very near to living sensitive Nerve fiber or brought in contact with it- olfaction
★ E.G. Magnetic bar shows the power in steel needle whose pole is near
★ The steel remains unchanged in physical and chemical properties
★ CAN NOT BRING Change in brass but only in iron
★ Dynamised medicines as little have any action on lifeless, material body,
APHORISM 269 F. N.
POTENTIZATION
★ F. N. 4 We hear that medicinal potencies are called mere dilutions
★ But they are actually opposites
★ True opening of natural substances
★ Bringing into light hidden medicinal power present within
★ Brought up by rubbing and shaking
★ The unmedicinal substance is the medium for attenuation
★ Simple dilution, solution of a grain of a salt in water, the grain of a salt will
disappear in the solution of water
★ It will never develop the medicinal salt as it has not undergone the dynamization so
not generated the marvellous medicinal power
APHORISM 270
LM POTENCY
★ In order to develop this power in material substance
★ One grain is triturated for 3 hours for 3 times 100 grains of sugar of milk= 3C (1/106)
★ One grain of this powder is dissolved in 500 drops of mixture of 1 part of alcohol, 4 parts of
distilled water= 1/500 * 1/106 = 1/5*108 = Mother potency
★ To this added 100 drops of pure alcohol- give 100 succussions- on elastic pad
★ This is first dynamization =1/5*108 * 1/100 = 1/5*1010 small sugar globules are moistened
★ Then quickly spread on blotting paper to dry and kept in well corked bottle.- 1st pot
★ Only 1 globule is taken for further dynamization
★ Put in 2nd vial with a drop of water and give 100 succussions second potency
★ With this alcohol, globules are moistened, spread on blotting paper, dried quickly
★ This is done till 29th potency and 30th potency is prepared
APHORISM 270
LM POTENCY- Preparation
★ This method forcibly influences the suffering parts of the sick man
★ Similar morbid affection removes the natural morbid process which influences the life
principle
★ By this mechanical process change is effected on the material, unmedicinal crude drugs
★ By this higher and higher dynamizations the drug is sublized (very delicate, fine) spirit like
★ This power is not felt by senses (its energy) (power)
★ This dry globule or if dissolved in water, becomes the carrier of this power
★ This is the HEALING POWER which manifests on the body
★ F.N.1 Preparation of LM POTENCY
★ Preparation of 3C potency
APHORISM 270 F.N.
★ F. N. 2 Vial used for is filled with 2/3rd full
★ F. N. 3 Take leather bound book
★ F. N. 4 Globules are prepared by confectioner with starch and sugar
★ Fine globules are sieved to remove the dust
★ They are passed through strainer so that 100 globules form 1 grain
★ F. N. 5 A small cylindrical thimble (plastic or metal cap) glass, porcelain or silver
★ Globules are kept to be medicated; They are moistened with the dynamised
medicinal alcohol
★ Stirred and poured on blotting paper to dry them quickly
APHORISM 270 F.N.
★ F.N. 6 - 1 Drop of lower potency was taken and 100 drops of alcohol was added
★ But this proportion was limited and giving so many succussions were insufficient
★ So by the method described above the medicinal power is increased to great extent
★ The ratio between medicine and medium is extremely disproportionate
★ But this produces very high dynamic power
★ This proportion of 1:100 of medicine and medium if machine is used for succussions then
these medicines have great dynamic power which act with great force even on weak
patients without long lasting reaction of vital principle
★ Medicines are produced with the highest degree power but with the mildest action
★ If accurately chosen --- touches all the suffering parts curatively
★ In acute fevers - the medicine of long duration e.g. Bella can be repeated in short interval
★ In the treatment of chronic disease -begin with the lowest degree of dynamization
★ Then advance to higher but milder in degrees ( LM )
APHORISM 270 F.N.
★ In rare cases with good vital strength but local disease is persistent
★ Repeated doses of the remedy which proved efficacious
★ If given many succussions to this remedy
★ It makes the remedy highly potentised
★ Local disease disappears after some time
★ F. N. 7 This dynamization method, Dr. Hahnemann derived after so many
experiments- most perfected method
★ The dose becomes more powerful, but in mild action
★ Material dose becomes less 50,000 times
★ The 30th potency is not expressing in numbers
★ Material part gets dissolved in spirit like dynamic essence.
TRITURATION - PHYSICIAN SHOULD DO HIMSELF
★ Physician should prepare medicine himself

★ Physician should take fresh plant, crude drugs oily or dry
★ Takes few grains in mortar and add 100 grains of sugar of milk 3 distinct times
★ One millionth trituration is reached
★ F. N. 1 Impartial person should prepare the homoeopathic medicine and
★ Give to the homoeopathic physician free of charge
★ Homoeopathic physician must be legally trained in theory and practical
★ Then can dispense these DIVINE TOOLS to the patients free of charge rich and poor
APHORISM 272
ADMINISTERING THE REMEDY
★ One globule is placed on the tongue, smallest dose for illness

★ Few nerves are touched by the medicine
★ A similar globule crushed in sugar of milk and dissolved in water
★ Stirred well before every administration
★ Even though small globules touches more than many nerves
★ F. N. These globules retain their value for many years
★ Protect from sunlight and heat
APHORISM 273
ADMINISTER SINGLE REMEDY
★ Don’t prescribe more than 2 remedies at one time

★ SINGLE, SIMPLE MEDICINE AT A TIME
★ Not to give at a time two different medicinal substances
★ Homoeopathy is natural art of healing
★ F. N. Substances which are naturally found combine together in fixed form
★ Sulphur and alkaline salts e.g. Natrum sulph and Calcarea sulph
★ Acids of alkaloids of plants are exposed to great variety of preparations are not the
simple medicines- strychnine, morphine
★ Alkaloids are not the only constituents of plants
APHORISM 274
ADMINISTER THE SINGLE REMEDY
★ True physician administers the SINGLE UNCOMBINED REMEDY
★ The artificial disease force which completely over power and cure natural disease
★ ‘It is wrong to attempt to employ complex means when simple means are available’
★ Give always single simple remedy
★ Simple medicines are thoroughly proved with respect to their pure peculiar effects
on the healthy condition of man
★ Two or more substances hinder and alter each other’s action on the human body
★ When simple medicine given to patient on accurate totality and its symptoms were
accurately known in HMM constructed after noting the symptoms on provers
★ Even if the remedy is prescribed turns wrong then new symptoms are seen
★ Its advantage that you can confirm the symptoms of that remedy
★ This advantage is lost if prescribe compound remedy
APHORISM 275
SIZE OF THE DOSE SHOULD BE SMALL
★ Suitableness of medicine is not only on ACCURATE selection alone

★ But on size of the dose - SMALLNESS OF THE DOSE / MINUTENESS OF THE DOSE
★ Large dose is harmful
★ Even large dose of homoeopathy is harmful, injurious due to its magnitude
★ Large size of the dose (quantity)
★ Due to similarity, the strong and large dose causes great impact
★ On the sensitive parts of the organism and
★ Those parts which are affected much by natural disease
APHORISM 276
TOO LARGE DOSE IS HARMFUL
★ Minute dose is not harmful

★ Large dose is harmful
★ If highest similarity and
★ Higher the potency
★ It does more harm than
★ The unhomoeopathic remedy
★ It does no good
★ Large dose of accurately chosen homoeopathic remedy is harmful
★ It puts the patient in danger, or disease is incurable
★ Patient suffers from more serious similar medicinal disease, difficult to destry
APHORISM 276 F.N.
★ F.N. 1- Some homoeopaths agree to large doses
★ Dr. Hahnemann 20 years ago used to use it ( 1822)
★ Maybe it was not similimum
★ Imperfectly prepared by pharmacist
★ F.N. 2 - Allopathic large doses of mercury for syphilis causes development of
incurable malady
★ Use of mild active mercurial preparation would have cured the venereal disease
with chancre, provided it was not removed by the local applications
★ Use of quinine and peruvian bark in large doses used to treat intermittent fevers.
★ A dose of highly potentized cinchona, would help patients in marshy area and
those who don’t have psoric states
APHORISM 276 F.N.
★ A chronic china malady is produced along with the development of psora

★ Internal vital organs are damaged
★ Especially spleen and liver are damaged
★ Suffering for long years
★ Sad state of health
★ There is no antidote to large dose of homoeopathic remedies which cause such
state
APHORISM 277
SMALL DOSE- MINUTE DOSE
★ A medicine with a sufficient small dose

★ Is salutary- producing good effects, beneficial
★ Is marvellously efficacious
★ If selection is accurate on homoeopathic basis
★ All the more its dose is reduced
★ Degree of minuteness of dose
★ Gentle remedial effect is obtained
APHORISM 278
★ What is the most suitable minute dose to effect remedial effect?

★ How much small the dose of individual medicine
★ The dose must be minute, gentle to bring rapid cure
★ It can not be speculation or imagination or not by fine spun (developed with great
care)reasoning, not by sophistry (false argument with intention of deceiving)
★ Pure experiment, careful observation of sensitivity of patient and accurate
experience will choice the best suitable dose
★ It is absurd to administer the large dose of allopathic medicine, which does not
affect the diseased parts homoeopathically.
★ It attacks the parts unaffected by the disease
★ So pure experience respects the small and minute doses which efect rapid cure
APHORISM 279
★ If the disease is not advanced much even in chronic disease

★ And if the patient has not much received the allopathic treatment
★ The dose of the homoeopathic remedy which is highly potentized remedy can not
be prepared so small as it won’t act to produce stronger, similar artificial morbific
disease
★ It then can not extinguish the natural disease from the sensation of life principle
★ Can not bring effective cure
APHORISM 280
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT- CURE
★ The SIMILIMUM with its correct dose; Does not produce the new symptom
★ General improvement
★ Return of old symptoms; Indicates REAL CURE
★ This is achieved by Gradual ascending of moderate doses modified by succussion
(*247)
★ This now indicates vital principle no longer needs to be affected by similar
medicinal disease (no need to give similimum ) to lose the sensation of natural
disease(No adverse symptoms)
★ It shows vital principle is free from natural disease, now under the control of
medicinal disease (similar artificial disease)- known as Homoeopathic aggravation
★ (May not be seen in all cases)
APHORISM 281
Give patient placebo- during high dose of medicine. Renewed
higher doses given to complete the cure
★ After the similimum, give S.L. for the time to wait for the medicinal disease disappear
★ Give patient good hygienic conditions, during this time where no medicine but only
sugar of milk (placebo) is given, no original disease is seen; PATIENT IS CURED
★ If after few days, morbid symptoms of original disease remain,
★ Treated with the renewed higher doses of the same remedy.
★ For cure to occur the first small dose is to be gradually raised higher
★ But more slowly in patients with irritability
★ But raised to higher potency rapidly in patients with less susceptibility
APHORISM 282
IF DOSE IS TOO LARGE- First dose produces Aggravation in
chronic diseases- HOMOEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
★ If the dose was large of homoeopathic medicine given for the treatment of chronic
disease, homoeopathic aggravation occurs
★ Increase in the original symptoms of the patient
★ HOMOEOPATHIC AGGRAVATION
★ By every repeated dose modified by shaking before administration
★ F.N. 1 COMMENCEMENT OF HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT IN CHRONIC
MIASMATIC DISEASE- Eruptions- PSORA; Chancre- SYPHILIS; Figwarts- SYCOSIS
★ They require large doses of specific remedies in higher degrees of dynamization
daily, or several times daily
APHORISM 282 F.N.
★ Excessive doses are given to treat these miasmatic disease, it extinguishes the disease
and not produce chronic medicinal disease.(no danger to fear of medicinal dusease)
★ But if given in such course of doses, does not produce the medicinal disease
(aggravation)
★ During external manifestation of these 3 miasms- progress of the treatment can be
judged by to what degree the large dose withdraws the sensation of disease from vital
principle
★ Most important is their disappearance makes the physician decide to stop the medicine
★ Physician can claim that he has cured is only by their disappearance externally
APHORISM 282 F. N.
★ HOMOEOPATHY- Diseases are dynamic derangement of vital principle

★ Its not material disease, NOT MATERIA PECCANS, nothing material disease to take
away, no material disease (to feel, palpate, see)
★ OLD SCHOOL - says it, since thousands of years, treated the sick, made more sicker
★ The inimical dynamic influence affects the vital energy, express as external signs
★ Visible as local external symptoms due to inner malignant (evil effect or nature)miasm
★ They can only be cured by INTERNAL / SIMILAR / STRONGER MEDICINE acts on V.E.
★ This medicine removes the abnormal sensations felt to life force (internal and
external) and releases the life principle from the attack of this inimical miasm---CURE
APHORISM 282 F.N.
INTERNAL MEDICINE- CURES the
★ Itch is internal symptom (and eruption is its external symptom)

★ And Internal venereal miasm and external symptom is chancre of syphilis)
★ They are cured by administration of INTERNAL MEDICINE
★ But for the figwarts disease
★ Which existed some time without treatment,
★ For cure external application and internal administration of the specific remedy is
needed
APHORISM 283
SMALL DOSE OF SIMILIMUM is given
★ A small dose of similimum is administered but stronger than patient’s natural

disease
★ To avoid this (Homoeopathic Aggravation)
★ If physician prescribes wrong remedy due to weak mind
★ Then new symptoms produced of this wrong remedy
★ The disadvantage of production of symptoms of wrong remedy are overcome
★ By VITAL ENERGY
★ Correctly chosen remedy then administered which repairs it, extinguishes the
symptoms due to wrong remedy
APHORISM 284

ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION OF THE REMEDY
MOTHER’S MILK TO INFANT

BATHS

★ Baths whose skin was sound and probably its medicinal constituents were
homoeopathically related
★ Mineral baths were injurious to patients whose skin eruptions were suppressed
★ The inner life principle now took inner uncured malady to affect more important
organs of life
APHORISM 285 F.N.
Medicine is given to patient only after its pure effects are
tested

on life force
★ They act like medicines which neutralize the disease by taking them
★ Through mouth, rubbing on skin, or by olfaction

cured by those means
