Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine - Aphorism 139

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

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

Aphorism 139:

'When the physician does not make the trial of the
medicine on himself, but gives it to another person,
the latter must note down distinctly the sensations,
sufferings, accidents and changes of health he
experiences at the time of their occurrence,
mentioning the time after the ingestion of the drug
when each symptom arose and, if it lasts long, the
period of its duration. The physician looks over the
report in the presence of the experimenter immediately
after the experiment is concluded, or if the trial
lasts several days he does this every day, in order,
while everything is still fresh in his memory, to
question him about the exact nature of every one of
these circumstances, and to write down the more
precise details so elicited, or to make such
alterations as the experimenter may suggest.1
Footnote:

1 He who makes known to the medical world the results
of such experiments becomes thereby responsible for
the trustworthiness of the person experimented on and
his statements, and justly so, as the weal of
suffering humanity is here at stake.'
