It is true that the present is not an age of proving, but we have in our pathogenetic records a means of verification for many years to come; and there is no reason why we may not avail ourselves of the approach to illness through all that pertains to the examination of the patient himself in our search for the curative regime; and at long last, we shall one day return to the Hahnemannian way as the best way that even scientific medicine can follow.
