Homoeopathy is no invention : no theory. It has been hammered out of hard facts. It is simply a scientific way of discovering what drugs can do in the way of preventing the health mental and physical of healthy human beings and then applying them for the relief of just such conditions in the sick.
“Homoeoapthy appeals,” says Hahnemann, “sorely to the verdict of experience… Repeat the experiment, carefully and accurately and you will find the doctrine confirmed at every step… Homoeopathy insists on being judges by results.”.
