It seems that there is an opposition between the syphilitic and tubercular heredity.
The tuberculinism grows in the Phosphocalcic constitution of Dr. Nebel: The Calcarea phosphorica and Phosphorus type. The subject becomes an artist, because the Phosphorus temperament is exalted by the artistic tendency. The individual idealises his existence or his creations and forgets the practical and the vital realities.
On the contrary the distant heredity of syphilis, cause the evolution of the subject towards Fluorocalcic. Calcarea fluorica and Aurum metallicum, give anxiety, the mind for research and to respect in the maximum the vital contingencies. The desire to become prominent, the desire to become rich, the ambition is always legitimate because the intelligence may be very acute as well as the sensitiveness.
Thus it is seen that some of the human races more or less affected by the one or the other virus, that there exists a parallel between the taints and the psychological character.
It is useless to say that the decadent art will express rather a bad association of two opposite constitutions: Heredo- tuberculosis and Heredo-syphilis.
The reader will kindly excuse us for giving out these ideas which are premature and the generalisations very much untimely. In the field of medicine let us stick to the fact that our only care should be to cure our patients by all means. When classic or new Homoeopathy is not sufficient, let us try the official methods when it is proved superior.
