SEPARATING THE MIASMS



She is as merciful as Divinity. To say that a confusing, second prescription would make a case incurable would be like saying the Master is unforgiving. It would suggest that homoeopathy is self-limited, which I am unwilling to admit. The patient may be found wanting in vital force sufficient to react, but that is no fault of similia similibus curantur. Then again, if I fail find the remedy that will arouse reaction, I am not willing to admit the self- limitation to a weak point of our law especially when the blindness is due to ostrich like behaviour.

Our law is infallible. On exception would disprove the law. No one yet has found an exception. The trouble, to me, seems to lie in finding the master locksmith who is able to fashion a homoeopathic key for this intricate lock, and it is no school boys job.

HOUSTON, TEXAS.

When the symptoms come back after prudent waiting, unchanged, the selection was correct, and if the same potency fail to act, a higher one will generally do so quite promptly, as did the lower one at first. When the pictures comes back changed only by the absence of some one or more symptoms, and no new symptoms, the remedy should never be changed until a still higher potency has been fully tested, as no harm can come to a case from giving a single dose of medicine that has exhausted its curative powers; it is even negligence not to do just this thing.- KENT.
