(Note: The Sections 52 56 are wholly re-written in the sixth edition.)

This, the homoeopathic way, must, moreover, as observed above (Aphorisms 43 49) be the only proper one, because, of the three possible modes of employing medicines in diseases, it is the only direct way to a mild, sure permanent cure without doing injury in another and without weakening the patient. The pure homoeopathic mode of cure is the only proper way, the only direct way, the only way possible to human skill, as certainly as only one straight line can be drawn betwixt two given points.

What is in this library

These titles sit beside the repertory: Allen’s Keynotes, Anshutz on the twelve tissue remedies, Boericke’s materia medica, Clarke’s Dictionary, Hering, Jones, Kent’s lectures, Nash, and Boger’s Synoptic Key. Philosophy includes Hahnemann’s Organon (5th and 6th), Kent, Close, Burnett, Haehl, Gibson Miller, Royal, J. H. Allen, and Anshutz. Clinical, therapeutics, regional works, and short remedy pictures follow the same shelf.

Chapter text is on this shelf for study: open a title, then a heading. When a medicine appears in more than one materia medica, switch authors on the chapter to compare how each describes it. For educational use by students and qualified practitioners. Not medical advice.
