'The short duration of the action of the artificial
morbific forces, which we term medicines, makes it
possible that, although they are stronger than the
natural diseases, they can yet be much more easily
overcome by the vital force than can the weaker
natural diseases, which, solely in consequence of the
longer, generally lifelong, duration of their action
(psora, syphilis, sycosis), can never be vanquished
and extinguished by it alone, until the physician
affects the vital force in a stronger manner by an
agent that produces a disease very similar, but
stronger, to wit a homoeopathic medicine. The cures of
diseases of many years' duration (aph 46), by the
occurence of smallpox and measles (both of which run a
course of only a few weeks), are processes of a
similar character.'

-Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of Medicine(ver.6),
Footnote 15 (aph 30)
