(837 to 840 comp. with 775. The weakness here described, as if proceeding from a great loss of humours, is in conjunction with the phenomena indicated und, 862, 863, 865, 889, and 893, together with the symptoms of the disposition of china (1095, 1096, 1103, 1107 to 1110, 1113, 1125, 1126, 1131), the symptoms of deranged digestive organs (229, 242, 249 to 255, 265, 269, 277 to 279, 283, 289, 290, 293, 294, 296, 298, 301, 302, 305, to 307, 310, 318 to 321, 329, 330, 339), the suffering after food (332, 333, 350, 351, 357, 358, 364, 366, 367, 369 to 371, 387, 394, 414, 416), the too-easily excited perspiration, especially in the back on movement and during sleep (684, 1058, 1060, 1064), and the confusion of the head(6, 8, to 16, 18, 19, 21 to 23), exactly that for which china is the only suitable remedy, and which almost without exception occurs in persons who have experienced a very considerable loss of strength by haemorrhages and frequent blood-letting, by prolonged escape of milk from the breasts and unduly prolonged suckling, by excesses in venery and onanism, or frequent involuntary seminal emissions, by profuse morbid sweats or taking sudorifices in excess, by diarrhoeas, or frequently repeated purgatives. In morbid debility of other kinds, when the disease itself is not suitablefor this remedy, the administration of china is always followed by injurious; often fatal consequences, although even in such unsuitable cases a stimulation of the strength is produced by it in the first few hours; but the unnatural, over strained character of this is easily percieved, and but too often a premature death is the consequence of this over-stimulation, and if in such cases its use is long continued, the patient falls into a cachectic condition hard to cure, and which is the result of the physician’s maleficient art.)

Hahnemann's three major publications chart the development of homeopathy. In the Organon of Medicine, we see the fundamentals laid out. Materia Medica Pura records the exact symptoms of the remedy provings. In his book, The Chronic Diseases, Their Peculiar Nature and Their Homoeopathic Cure, he showed us how natural diseases become chronic in nature when suppressed by improper treatment.
