History of substances



In fact, after several years of experience, I may say that it is enough to pout a few globules in. any drink or food (sweets etc.). (See Psychic medicine-“Medical Advance” Ch. VI)

(4) Like all other scientific discoveries, the psychic treatment or homoeopathic treatment of the defects of character or intelligence the reasoners will be against and the experimentator will be for it. The latter, never satisfied with what they know and because of this, follow ardently by researches to find and experiment. Acting thus the judicious advice of St. Paul, the unknown forerunner of experimental method: Omina etiam probate et quod bonum tenete. Put everything to experiment and keep only what is good.

The reasoners on the contrary, always satisfied about what they know, do not in every occasion take the help of observation and experiment, for the fear of having some facts which are capable to go against their reasoning.

Perhaps one will say to me: If the power of reasoning is giving to man, it is that which man makes use of which is quite natural. Man should use his power of reasoning in case of literature, philosophy etc. but should first of all take the help of observation and experiment and only when observation and experiment have helped him to gather some facts, his power of reasoning will come in to classify the facts according to their importance and to explain them if possible.

None of my clients gave my memoirs to read a judge of a tribunal, who, before giving the judgment for separation for the aim of developing good relation between them used to all the espouses in his chamber to stop the separation. This magistrate of high judicial knowledge, affirmed that the homoeopathic treatment cannot ameliorate th character of the husband and wife in order to re-establish harmony between then. A few weeks later the following fact invalidated the declaration of this eminent reasoner. Mr. X was going to take necessary steps to get a separation between him and hiss wife, who since some six years was in prey of a deplorable passion. I was fortunate to cure this women of her passion in less than a month which is not always possible with a single remedy. It may be presumed that many cases of legal separation may be avoided by this treatment. Only for such cases the magistrates should not only be reasoners but also experimentators or at least good observers.

I will add that the persons whom I have cured with success are those are suffering from griefs, discouragements, hopelessness which is the cause of most of the suicides seen annually if France.

The psychic treatment will perhaps bring down the number of suicides to half.
