Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 93

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 93:

'If the disease has been brought on a short time or,
in the case of a chronic affection, a considerable
time previously, by some obvious cause, then the
patient - or his friends when questioned privately -
will mention it either spontaneously or when carefully
interrogated.1
Footnote:

1 Any causes of a disgraceful character, which the
patient or his friends do not like to confess, at
least not voluntarily, the physician must endeavor to
elicit by skilfully framing his questions, or by
private information. To these belong poisoning or
attempted suicide, onanism, indulgence in ordinary or
unnatural debauchery, excess in wine, cordials, punch
and other ardent beverages, or coffee, -
over-indulgence in eating generally, or in some
particular food of a hurtful character, - infection
with venereal disease or itch, unfortunate love,
jealousy, domestic infelicity, worry, grief on account
of some family misfortune, ill-usage, balked revenge,
injured pride, embarrassment of a pecuniary nature,
superstitious fear, - hunger, - or an imperfection in
the private parts, a rupture, a prolapse, and so
forth.'
