Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
*******************************

Aphorism 72:

'With respect to the first point, the following will
serve as a general preliminary view. The disease to
which man is liable are either rapid morbid processes
of the abnormally deranged vital force, which have a
tendency to finish their course more or less quickly,
but always in a moderate time - these are termed acute
diseases; - or they are diseases of such a character
that, with small, often imperceptible beginnings,
dynamically derange the living organism, each in its
own peculiar manner, and cause it gradually to deviate
from the healthy condition, in such a way that the
automatic life energy, called vital force, whose
office is to preserve the health, only opposes to them
at the commencement and during their progress
imperfect, unsuitable, useless resistance, but is
unable of itself to extinguish them, but must
helplessly suffer (them to spread and) itself to be
ever more and more abnormally deranged, until at
length the organism is destroyed; these are termed
chronic diseases. They are caused by infection with a
chronic miasm.'
