Hering's writings

[jtikari]

Constantine Hering. In 1879, in the last two paragraphs to the preface of his last work, The Guiding Symptoms of our Materia Medica, writes:

"It has been my rule through life never to accept anything as true, unless it came as near mathematical proof as possible in its domain of science; and, in the other hand, never to reject anything as false, unless there was stronger proof of its falsity.
"Some will say, "but so many things - a majority of all observations - will thus remain between the two undecided." So they will; and can it be helped? It can, but only by accumulating most careful observations and contributing them to the general fund of knowledge." (20)

And finally he wrote in 1845 in the preface of Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases:

"It is the duty of all of us to go farther in the theory and practice of Homoopathy than Hahnemann has done. We ought to seek the truth which is before us and forsake the errors of the past." (page 9) (11)
