Cured case rubrics are as relevant as provings - (Aph 117 not 177)

Herewith Aph 117, which "fell off" my prior email. (I think I had
dyslexia too and said 177? I am sorry if so!)
ยง 117
To the latter category belong the so-called idiosyncrasies, by which
are meant peculiar corporeal constitutions which, although otherwise
healthy, possess a disposition to be brought into a more or less
morbid state by certain things which seem to produce no impression
and no change in many other individuals.1 But this inability to make
an impression on every one is only apparent. For as two things are
required for the production of these as well as all other morbid
alterations in the health of man - to wit., the inherent power of the
influencing substance, and the capability of the vital force that
animates the organism to be influenced by it - the obvious
derangements of health in the so-called idiosyncrasies cannot be laid
to the account of these peculiar constitutions alone, but they must
also be ascribed to these things that produce them, in which must lie
the power of making the same impressions on all human bodies, yet in
such a manner that but a small number of healthy constitutions have a
tendency to allow themselves to be brought into such an obvious
morbid condition by them. That these agents do actually make this
impression on every healthy body is shown by this, that when employed
as remedies they render effectual homoeopathic service2 to all sick
persons for morbid symptoms similar to those they seem to be only
capable of producing in so-called idiosyncratic individuals.
1 Some few persons are apt to faint from the smell of roses and to
fall into many other morbid, and sometimes dangerous states from
partaking of mussels, crabs or the roe of the barbel, from touching
the leaves of some kinds of sumach, etc.
2 Thus the Princess Maria Porphyroghnita restored her brother, the
Emperor Alexius, who suffered from faintings, by sprinkling him with
rose water in the presence of his aunt Eudoxia (Hist. byz. Alexias,
lib. xv, p. 503, ed. Posser); and Horstius (Oper., iii, p.59) saw
great benefit from rose vinegar in cases of syncope.
