Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************
Aphorism 65:
'Examples of (A) are familiar to all. A hand bathed in
hot water is at first much warmer than the other hand
that has not been so treated (primary action); but
when it is withdrawn from the hot water and again
thoroughly dried, it becomes in a short time cold, and
at length much colder than the other (secondary
action). A person heated by violent exercise (primary
action) is afterwards affected with chilliness and
shivering (secondary action). To one who was yesterday
heated by drinking much wine (primary action), today
every breath of air feels too cold (counteraction of
the organism, secondary action). An arm that has been
kept long in very cold water is at first much paler
and colder (primary action) than the other; but
removed from the cold water and dried, it subsequently
becomes not only warmer than the other, but even hot,
red and inflamed (secondary action, reaction of the
vital force). Excessive vivacity follows the use of
strong coffee (primary action), but sluggishness and
drowsiness remain for a long time afterwards
(reaction, secondary action), if this be not always
again removed for a short time by imbibing fresh
supplies of coffee (palliative). After the profound
stupefied sleep caused by opium (primary action), the
following night will be all the more sleepless
(reaction, secondary action). After the constipation
produced by opium (primary action), diarrhoea ensues
(secondary action); and after purgation with medicines
that irritate the bowels, constipation of several
days’ duration ensues (secondary action). And in like
manner it always happens, after the primary action of
a medicine that produces in large doses a great change
in the health of a healthy person, that its exact
opposite, when, as has been observed, there is
actually such a thing, is produced in the secondary
action by our vital force.'
