Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 82

Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************

Aphorism 82:

'Although, by the discovery of that great source of
chronic diseases, as also by the discovery of the
specific homœopathic remedies for the psora, medicine
has advanced some steps nearer to a knowledge of the
nature of the majority of diseases it has to cure,
yet, for settling the indication in each case of
chronic (psoric) disease he is called on to cure, the
duty of a careful apprehension of its ascertainable
symptoms and characteristics is as indispensable for
the homœopathic physician as it was before that
discovery, as no real cure of this or of other
diseases can take place without a strict particular
treatment (individualization) of each case of disease
- only that in this investigation some difference is
to be made when the affection is an acute and rapidly
developed disease, and when it is a chronic one;
seeing that, in acute disease, the chief symptoms
strike us and become evident to the senses more
quickly, and hence much less time is requisite for
tracing the picture of the disease and much fewer
questions are required to be asked1, as almost
everything is self-evident, than in a chronic disease
which has been gradually progressing for several
years, in which the symptoms are much more difficult
to be ascertained.
Footnote:

1 Hence the following directions for investigating the
symptoms are only partially applicable for acute
diseases.'
