With the 5th Organon?s middle path method it is no longer necessary to wait until the complete duration of the remedy ceases as witnessed by a complete standstill of any improvement. For this reason, the homoeopath is able to speed the cure of slow moving chronic diseases to one half or one quarter of the time it took with the 4th Organon?s wait and watch method. This method is still valid for the application of the C potency in dry pellets, by olfaction, and in liquid solutions. The wait and watch method forms an important basis for all of the posology methods developed in the 1830s and 1840s. If the homoeopath does not know when to wait and watch they become prone to overmedicating their patients, causing aggravations, and slowing down the cure.

At the time of the 4th and 5th editions Hahnemann stated his preference for the use of remedies in liquid solution but had yet to work out the most effective delivery system. This lacuna in the system was filled in 1837 when he introduced the use of the medicinal solution prepared in a bottle and preserved by brandy. This preparation was most suitable for his new method which included "divided doses" measured in teaspoons. The Paris casebooks of this period show that the Founder was already using a 7 to 8 tablespoon medicinal solution with the addition of a dilution glass. This method was later presented to the public in the 6th Organon, which was completed in 1842. By this time, the Founder had developed a new dynamization system called the 50 Millesimal potency.
