Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 137

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 137:

'The more moderate, within certain limits, the doses
of the medicine used for such experiments are -
provided we endeavor to facilitate the observation by
the selection of a person who is a lover of truth,
temperate in all respects, of delicate feelings, and
who can direct the most minute attention to his
sensation - so much the more distinctly are the
primary effects developed, and only these, which are
most worth knowing, occur without any admixture of
secondary effects or reactions of the vital force.
When, however, excessively large doses are used there
occur at the same time not only a number of secondary
effects among the symptoms, but the primary effects
developed, and only these, which are most worth
knowing, occur without any admixture of secondary
effects or reactions of the vital force. When,
however, excessively large doses are used there occur
at the same time not only a number of secondary
effects among the symptoms, but the primary effects
also come on in such hurried confusion and with such
impetuosity that nothing can be accurately observed;
let alone the danger attending them, which no one who
has any regard for his fellow-creatures, and who looks
on the meanest of mankind as his brother, will deem an
indifferent manner.'
