Hahnemann's Organon Of Medicine - Aphorism 1

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 1:

'The physician's high and only mission is to restore
the sick to health, to cure, as it is termed.'
Footnote:

His mission is not, however, to construct so-called
systems, by interweaving empty speculations and
hypotheses concerning the internal essential nature of
the vital processes and the mode in which diseases
originate in the interior of the organism, (whereon so
many physicians have hitherto ambitiously wasted their
talents and their time); nor is it to attempt to give
countless explanations regarding the phenomena in
diseases and their proximate cause (which must ever
remain concealed), wrapped in unintelligible words and
an inflated abstract mode of expression, which should
sound very learned in order to astonish the ignorant -
whilst sick humanity sighs in vain for aid. Of such
learned reveries (to which the name of theoretic
medicine is given, and for which special
professorships are instituted) we have had quite
enough, and it is now high time that all who call
themselves physicians should at length cease to
deceive suffering mankind with mere talk, and begin
now, instead, for once to act, that is, really to help
and to cure.
