Aphorism 35 § 35 Aphorism 35 : In order to illustrate this, we shall consider in three different cases, as well what happens in nature when two dissimilar natural diseases meet to in one person, as also the result of the ordinary medical treatment of diseases with unsuitable allopathic drugs, which are incapable of producing…

Aphorism 34 § 34 Aphorism 34 : Fifth Edition The greater strength of the artificial diseases producible by medicines is, however, not the sole cause of their power to cure natural disease. In order that they may effect a cure, it is before all things requisite that they should be capable of producing in the…

Aphorism 33 § 33 Aphorism 33 : In accordance with this fact, it is undeniably shown by all experience 1 that the living organism is much more disposed and has a greater liability to be acted on, and to have its health deranged by medicinal powers, than by morbific noxious agents and infectious miasms, or,…

Aphorism 32 § 32 Aphorism 32 : But it is quite otherwise with the artificial morbific agents which we term medicines.
