President: If there are not others desiring to discuss this paper I will call on Dr. Boger to close.
C. M. Boger: In closing I desire to say that I approve fully Dr. Stearn’s remarks; he has a very interior and coned view of disease. Everything about suppression depends upon how you rook upon health, or rather upon life. Life itself is a free expression and everything that restrains that expression, especially by outward means, partakes of the nature of a suppression. In giving a homoeopathic remedy we are trying to remove symptoms just as nature is trying to do, not opposing her efforts as suppressive measures do. The disease that is producing disorder of the internal organs is often also the cause of the same disease when it appears on the skin; it is simply working on a different plane. Usually such a miasm requires an antipsoric remedy to remove it.
