A CONSTITUTIONAL DIAGNOSIS AND PRESCRIPTION

This proposition is based on the fundamental conception that as an organization is the indispensable prerequisite for function, symptoms of a morbid process alone are logically inadequate to account for all that is involved, and in a proving inadequate to account for mode of development of the reactions or to definite the limits of the drugs action.

COMMON GROUND REACHED AT LAST

There is in the interior of man, nothing morbid that is curable and no visible morbid alternation that is curable which does not make itself known to the accurately observing physician by means of morbid signs and symptoms-an arrangement in perfect conformity with the infinite goodness of the all wise Preserver of human life.

BELLADONNA AND FERRUM PHOS MORPHOLOGICALLY COMPARED

Surely it must have something more substantial than some fanciful conception; and if we are real teachers, we must be able to give a student better advice than “watch all people” in order to acquire this knowledge. If we can do no more then we are but “sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal”. For it to have true scientific value we must be able to discover the facts on which it rests, and analyze and classify them.

THE CARBO VEG PATHOGENESIS AND ITS MORPHOLOGICAL BASE

The mucous membranes, as has been said, are habitually engorged with venous blood. They are dry, swollen, bluish, even purplish in color and spongy to the touch. All proof of venous stasis. With this in mind it is not difficult to understand the character of the gastric functions. They will naturally be sluggish, retarded, with fermentation and gas formation.

HUMAN MORPHOLOGY AND THE HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA

Is it permitted us as apostles of a great cause to be contented with the achievements of its pioneers, to look upon their writings as the last word? Have we a right to assume that we have discharged our responsibility when we have reaches a point where we are able to repeat the achievements of Hahnemann, or of Boenninghausen, or of Hering? Heave we a right to say that we have progressed if we have merely caught up with them?.

NOTES ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF THE ABDOMEN

The significance of the width of the gastric angle is too well known to require special mention. The wide angle is invariably found in those with a voluminous abdomen and the narrow angle in those with the long and tubular abdomen. It is a point that should never be overlooked in the examination; yet it should never be made the sole point on which a conclusion is based.

MORPHOLOGICAL NOTES CONCERNING THE THORAX

Irregularities in the hydraulic current of necessity always result from imperfections in the heart or blood vessels. To begin with, the pulmonary circulation is defective, being slower than normal, hence stasis; the distribution of the blood mass throughout the body is unequal; there will be anaemia in some parts and plethora in others, with biochemical disturbances and defects in the functional processes as a natural consequence.

HUMAN MORPHOLOGY EXPLAINS HUMAN VARIATION, PREDISPOSITION AND SUSCEPTIBILITY

The physical conditions which underlie and cause variation in function, predisposition and susceptibility in the human organism are at the present time of all things most obscure and perplexing. Nothing in the entire field of human endeavor is so shadowy and elusive as the facts involved. Why under a given set of circumstances does one individual react in one way and another in an entirely different way?

THE RELATION BETWEEN MORPHOLOGY AND DISEASE

The fact is that one may be entirely successful in eliciting the remotest symptom and discovering the minutest pathological change in the tissues and yet learn little or nothing that is fundamental about the patient himself. The facts underlying his predispositions and susceptibilities-the root causes of his diseases-and the cause of his special functions and reactions lie in an entirely different realm.
