§ 28
As this natural law of cure manifests itself in every pure experiment and
every true observation in the world, the fact is consequently established;
it matters little what may be scientific explanation of how it takes place;
and I do not attach much importance to the attempts made to explain it. But
the following view seems to commend itself as the most probable one, as it
is founded on premises derived from experience.

§ 29 Sixth Edition
As every disease (not entirely surgical) consists only in a special, morbid,
dynamic alteration of our vital energy (of the principle of life) manifested
in sensation and motion, so in every homœopathic cure this principle of life
dynamically altered by natural disease is seized through the administration
of medicinal potency selected exactly according to symptom-similarity by a
somewhat stronger, similar artificial disease-manifestation. By this the
feeling of the natural (weaker) dynamic disease-manifestation ceases and
disappears. This disease-manifestation no longer exists for the principle of
life which is now occupied and governed merely by the stronger, artificial
disease-manifestation. This artificial disease-manifestation has soon spent
its force and leaves the patient free from disease, cured. The dynamis, thus
freed, can now continue to carry life on in health. This most highly
probable process rests upon the following propositions.
