Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 91

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 91:

'The symptoms and feelings of the patient during a
previous course of medicine do not furnish the pure
picture of the disease; but on the other hand, those
symptoms and ailments which he suffered from before
the use of the medicines, or after they had been
discontinued for several days, give the true
fundamental idea of the original form of the disease,
and these especially the physician must take note of.
When the disease is of a chronic character, and the
patient has been taking medicine up to the time he is
seen, the physician may with advantage leave him some
days quite without medicine, or in the meantime
administer something of an unmedicinal nature and
defer to a subsequent period the more precise scrutiny
of the morbid symptoms, in order to be able to grasp
in their purity the permanent uncontaminated symptoms
of the old affection and to form a faithful picture of
the disease.'
