ROUTINE PRESCRIBING AND SYMPTOM COVERING
Therefore, in a certain sense routine prescribing, or better expressed, a treatment based on experience, limited empirically, is not to be rejected in homoeopathy. However, we may not give empiricism free rein to the extent of some of our confreres in partibus infidelium, that with the name of the disease the prescription is also ready, like iron in chlorosis, salicylic acid in rheumatism, chininum or antipyrinum in fever, etc.
