that vomiting is particularly apt to result from drinking or taking any nourishment, either before or after the chill and fever ; this vomiting from taking water is much more characteristic of the drug than the bone-pains, especially the vomiting of bite as the chill passes off ; the violent bone-pains, the violent headache, pain and soreness of the muscles, are the universal accompaniments of the intermittent fever ; the patient feels as if all the bones were breaking ; it is very frequently observed that these Eupatorium cases present an incomplete paroxysm, for the chill and fever are well marked, and perhaps violent, and yet the sweat is entirely wanting ; while this is usually the case, it is true that the drug cures cases in which there is a decided sweating stage. º Valuable for catarrhal fevers, especially if there is bilious vomiting, with soreness of the chest and muscles and bone-pains, running from eyes and nose, soreness of the eyeballs, soreness of head, etc.

Kali Bromatum. The pure Bromide of Potash is dissolved in distilled water (1 to 99) for the first dilution. General Action :- º Like other potash salts it weakens the heart and lowers the temperature. º Its chief interest lies in the "Bromism" caused by it, the seat of which is in the spinal cord or the nerves leading to the brain cells. º Tetaniform convulsions and even opisthotonos in animals ; in man, general failure of mental power, especially loss of memory and of words and melancholia, anæsthesia of the mucous membranes, especially of eyes and throat, and of the skin ; acne ; loss of sexual desire, imbecility, idiocy, paralysis. Generalities :- º Emaciation. º Marasmus. º Diminishes the retrograde metamorphosis of tissue. º Diminishes mucous secretions. º Capillary circulation affected, independent of heart and arteries. º Threw himself down, closed his eyes, seemed above the earth, quite happy. º Crouched by the fireside all day, devoid of energy and resolution. º Convulsions, amel. appearance of eruption, papules of acne united in area, on these areas yellowish points beneath skin, on the surface a crust, and where this was rubbed the surface became peculiarly papillated. º Ataxia of limbs and tongue and impeded articulation. º Restlessness. º Aversion to exercise. º Lazy, indifferent and sleepy. º Weakness ; muscular, and bruised feeling in limbs and loins ; muscular, becoming paralysis. º Inability to hold herself upright. º Fainting. º Inability to move or feel. º Diminished nervous sensibility in general and especially diminution of reflex sensibility. º Insensibility. Clinical :- º Convulsions, epileptiform in character, but it is doubtful whether the drug really cures true epilepsy ; it certainly suppresses the convulsions for the time, in many cases, but it does not seem to remove the constitutional tendency to their recurrence ; nearly all cases of epilepsy are obliged to continue taking the drug, often in increasing doses, in order to obtain its palliative effect.

Mercurius. Triturations of pure Quicksilver, or of Hahnemann's black oxide (Mercurius solubilis, Hahnemanni), are used. It is probable that there is no essential difference in the effects of the two preparations. Pure Quicksilver is, however, to be preferred as more stable and perfectly pure. General Action :- º Mercury produces in general profound anæmia, with degeneration of the red corpuscles, loss of albumen and febrin and diminished coagulability of the blood ; with this there is a marked tendency to destructive action as seen in the inability of wounds to heal and in ulcerations of mucous surfaces and of the skin. º Sore mouth, salivation, destruction of the teeth and gums, with enlarged glands, are among the earliest manifestations. º Inflammation of the liver, and especially of the kidneys, is an almost constant effect. º A low type of fever and a condition resembling scurvy frequently ensue. º Instead of the ulcerations and inflammations nervous phenomena sometimes occur, paralysis agitans, epilepsy, melancholia, neuralgia and a remarkable chorea. º The long bones are attacked rather than the flat ones (opposite of syphilis). º The iris is never affected. Allies :- º Iod., Nit. ac., Hep., Lyc., Nat. m., Plat., Aur., Tellur., Phos. Generalities :- º º Foul smell of whole body and breath. º Emaciation (Iod.) ; then the frame speedily acquired greater bulk than it previously had. º Cachectic condition. º Child of a woman-worker was badly nourished and when a year old and no teeth. º A daughter born during her mercurialismus was very small, only learned to walk when three years old, never was over four feet in height, had kyphoskoliotic curvature of the spine, head was drawn to chest and somewhat to left, and there was imperfect development of muscle and bone. º Consumption. º Scrofula in children ; and rachitis. º Chlorosis and amenorrhœa, palpitation, weakness, loss of appetite ; C., face and mucous membrane pale, eyes watery, pulse small, rapid, great thirst, palpitation, dyspnœa, pains in head and stomach, œdema of lower limbs, weakness, depressed mood, blowing sounds in carotids. º º Periostitis, then necrosis. º Caries affects bones and joints that are never or rarely affected by syphilis. º Exostosis, agg. tibia, seldom on upper arm or head, with swelling and sensitiveness of periosteum, agg. night, warmth of bed, cold, damp weather, thunder-storms, etc. º So full of mercury that on http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/m/merc.htm (1 de 30) [17/4/2005 10:18:30]

Tarentula. The live Spanish spider is triturated with sugar of milk. General Action :- º (The remarkable nervous symptoms require confirmation.). Generalities :- º Yelled and fell down, was carried to the house in agony, smarting pain, hot and cold, starting from the bite to small of back and then returning to the bite, this alternating pain lasted all night. º Falling suddenly as if struck by apoplexy, then shortness of breath, blackness of face, hands, etc., he revived as he heard music, sighed, moved first his feet then hands and rest of body, and on being raised to his feet danced vigorously, sighed deeply, rolled upon the ground, kicked vigorously, the dance was repeated for three days and he was restored by the perspiration thus induced, but each year, about the time of the bite, pain reappeared in the affected part with the above symptoms in less intensity, again amel. music and dancing. º Stretched upon the ground and seemed about to expire, when he heard the music he got up as quick as lightning, seemed awakened by a frightful vision, stared wildly, about, still, moving every joint, when I stopped playing he fell down in an instant and cried, every part was distorted, he scraped the earth with his hands, on hearing the music again he arose as before and danced wildly, keeping perfect time but jumping and running to and fro, making comical postures, somewhat like Chinese dances, and everything he did was very wild. º Twitching, agg. arms, alternating with opisthotonos. º Convulsions ; and subsultus in all limbs, penis erect, abdominal muscles contracted and rigid. º Pain and swelling ; P. immediately in bitten part, he fell to the ground, with coldness of body, bristling of hair, tension of trunk, weakness of legs, sighing, complaints, said that he was suffocating, wished to cry out but could not, on hearing music the next morning he began to dance, was bathed in sweat was sleepless for a week, drank pure wine, had no stool for four days, desired nothing, wished to be bathed with water liked a red color, pursued anything blue, tore it to pieces and trampled it under foot at night he held his heels in his hands to scratch them, in which manner he could sleep a little, ate little or nothing, but dancing for almost a week, he was cured by sweat and music. º A few hours after the bite, anguish of heart, dejection, difficulty in http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/t/tarent.htm (1 de 4) [17/4/2005 10:27:45]

breathing, they complain in a mournful voice, roll their eyes, when asked where they suffer do not reply or place the hand upon the heart, the symptoms vary according to the variety of Tarentula, the temperament of the patient and the degree of summer heat, the T. in northern Apulia are fiercer and the symptoms severer, the patients are charmed by various colors, green, blue, etc., rarely by dark colors, at the sight of an annoying color anguish of heart and renewal of symptoms, the T. subalbida causes slight pain followed by itching, sharp pain in abdomen and diarrhœa, the T. stellata causes severer pain and itching, stupor, heaviness and pain in head, general trembling, etc., the T. uvea causes, besides the above symptoms, swelling, great pain in the bitten part, spasm, chill, cold sweat of whole body, aphonia, nausea, tension of trunk and chest, distention of abdomen, etc., in general, after the severer symptoms have declined, there is a peculiar melancholy, a bending forward of neck, sometimes amel. music or dancing, desperation, they court dissolution, otherwise virtuous women sigh deeply, howl, make indecent gestures, expose their sexual organs, etc., others like to whip buttocks, feet, back, etc., others have great desire to run. º º Restlessness, must keep in motion though walking aggravates the symptoms. º Weakness ; so that he could hardly be moved from side to side, with constriction of chest and anguish of heart. º When urged to dance she replied with tears that she could not on account of pain in joints of feet and weakness. º Return of all symptoms every year at the time of the bite, all symptoms, amel. dancing. º Aggravation of all symptoms from drinking two fluid ounces of whisky.

Aconitum. Aconitum napellus, or A. stœrkianum. Natural order : Ranunculaceæ. The monkshood, though cultivated in America, is a native of Europe. A tincture is made from the whole plant, gathered at the time of flowering. General Action :- º Aconite in small doses accelerates the heart's action, and causes a rise of temperature ; then follow alternate chill and fever, tumultuous action of the heart, sweat and great weakness. º From larger doses, paralysis of the heart, feeble pulse, cold sweat, paralysis of sensory and motor nerves, vomiting and purging, convulsions and death. º Mental distress is exceedingly characteristic ; it is produced by all doses, in all cases of poisoning, in all provings, and even in experiments on animals ; this peculiar anxiety distinguishes. º Aconite from all other drugs. º The tingling and numbness, which are experienced even from small doses, and the neuralgias, affecting particularly the upper portion of the body, are likewise characteristic. º Aconite causes only functional disturbance ; there is scarcely any evidence of power to produce tissue change ; its action is brief, and shows no marked periodicity. Groups for Study and Comparison :- º Other species of Aconite, Veratrum (and liliaceous plants such as Convallaria, Adonis, Colchicum), Digitalis, Camphor (Opium), Arsenicum, Iodine. Antidotes :- º Belladonna, Nux vom., Digitalis, Camphor (each in part only.). Generalities :- º Lies on left side (Spong.) ; on back, with left hand flat under head during morning sleep. º Cannot lie on right side or back (Nux v.). º Jaundice. º Swelling of whole body. º Cracking of joints. º º Convulsions ; alternating with relaxation ; tetanic (Sec. corn.) ; convulsions, with distortion of eyes, clenched jaws, body rigid and bent backward, limbs distorted (Jasmin). º Convulsions, with eyes drawn upward, fists clenched across the throat, grating of the teeth, ropy saliva and involuntary discharges. º Convulsions of face and upper extremities, relieved by vomiting. º Convulsions at intervals of 20 minutes, ushered in with a shuddering noise ; arms became rigid and raised above head, which was thrown back, and lower limbs extended rigidly, features distorted to one side or other, eyes closed, no general convulsions, face pale, consciousness http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/a/acon.htm (1 de 25) [17/4/2005 10:39:16]

Angustura. We omit the symptomatology of Angustura vera. Formerly Angustura spuria was confounded with it, and an almost hopeless mixture resulted.

Preface. The preparation of this Handbook was commenced immediately after the completion of the Encyclopedia, and in accordance with a desire, strongly and unanimously expressed by a number of prominent physicians at a dinner given by the publishers to the Author of that work, to possess a condensed volume for ready reference. The first labor undertaken was to correct the errors and supply the omissions which to some extent marred the Encyclopedia ; this work proved to be gigantic, involving, as it did, a review of nearly every symptom in comparison with the originals ; the whole Encyclopedia could, almost as well, have been re-cast. To this revised material have been added most of the provings and many cases of poisoning which have accumulated during the past ten years, omitting only such as seemed to rest upon a doubtful basis or which would not be of any practical value. A number of drugs included in the Encyclopedia have been omitted in the Handbook by reason of their inutility or unreliability (for example, the provings of Mure and Houatt.), since scarcely any of them have been found valuable ; all of Houatt's contributions have been thrown aside on account of their inherent improbability : the "Lacs" have been left to Dr. Swan's announced Materia Medica of the Nosodes, to which also Hydrophobinum, Syphilinum, et cetera, have been referred. This procedure has been forced upon the author by the necessity to provide the profession with a working handbook ; but should the work find so much favor that a new edition be called for, the wishes of the profession generally would be considered in adding some of the drugs that have been omitted, especially if these shall have proved themselves reliable. The material thus selected has been condensed in accordance with a http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/preface.htm (1 de 8) [17/4/2005 10:44:28]

system uniformly adhered to, omitting nothing important and avoiding repetition. The following example will serve to illustrate the method employed. Under Agaricus, as condensed : Vertex :- º Stitches ; itching. º Tearing ; lancinating, to left ear. º Aching ; morning ; morning, amel. after rising ; at night ; amel. open air ; pulsating, with despair bordering on rage. º Deep-seated boring. Stitches in vertex. Itching stitches in vertex. Tearing in vertex. Lancinating tearing in vertex, extending to left ear. Aching in vertex. Aching in vertex in morning. Aching in vertex in morning, relieved after rising. Aching in vertex at night. Aching in vertex, relieved in open air. Pulsating pain in vertex, with despair bordering on rage. In the above paragraph all symptoms belong to the Vertex. In the first period only Stitches. In the second period, Tearings. In the third period all are Achings ; but each semicolon closes a symptom ; thus Aching in the vertex at night is not said to be amel. in the open air ; but the Aching in the vertex amel. open air is a separate semicolon and a separate symptom. In the last semicolon the "pulsating" still refers to the aching, which dominates the whole period ; the last period might read as follows : Vertex, Aching. Vertex, Aching in morning. Vertex, Aching in morning amel. after rising. Vertex, Aching at night. Vertex, Aching amel. open air. Vertex, Aching-pulsating, with despair, etc. This plan of making a dominating sensation cover a whole period, and dividing that period into semicolons for each symptom, affords a good method of condensation. It is confidently believed that no confusion will arise from following this plan. In some places very long paragraphs have been divided even when the whole refer to one locality. The sensations have been arranged in accordance with the general idea of the Encyclopedia of giving first in a paragraph the objective symptoms, namely, those to be apprehended by the observer alone, including the appearance, the motions or http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/preface.htm (2 de 8) [17/4/2005 10:44:28]

lack of motion, et cetera ; second, the sensations arranged in the order of acuteness ; sharp pains first, followed by dull pains or sensations. Very few signs or abbreviations have been used : < [or agg.], means getting worse from, aggravated by, or sometimes simply worse. "< [or agg.] right side" means "Worse on the right side." > [ or amel.], means getting better, et Cetera. r. means right. l. means left. The initial letter of dominating word is sometimes repeated to avoid the possibility of confusion. Comparisons of each drug have been made with a few of its allies, but it has been deemed advisable to limit these to a very few. Comparison is often confounded with contrast, and to attempt both would greatly swell the size of the book, without any increase of its usefulness ; the limited number of comparisons admitted will be found reliable and a real help to those not quite satisfied with the remedy under inspection and looking for one generally similar to it and to the case in hand. The clinical sections have given the author a great amount of tribulation. To sift the enormous mass of reported cures is no light task ; much has been rejected, some modified and admitted after comparison with the observations of the most careful prescribers. There is no doubt that much fault can be found, with admissions as well as with rejections ; doubtless some reliable clinical indications have escaped notice, but it is believed that what is here gathered fairly represents the therapeutic range of our drugs as at present known. Much might be said concerning the reliability of our symptomatology ; the errors that have been perpetuated from year to year in old material, and in new material obtained by faulty methods, are well known. There is no doubt that some of even Hahnemann's symptoms were observed in the sick, both as apparent results of drug action and as probable cured ; it is also true that most provers have allowed themselves to record, as effects of drugs taken for experiment, symptoms which would have arisen spontaneously or which were "suggestions" of a mind watching for such effects. There is no doubt that many if not most symptoms have been observed in only one or two persons as the effect of a drug, and that many of these would fail of confirmation by repeated experiment, but after all these allowances have been made there remains a good and true pathogenesis sufficient for a working materia medica and http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/preface.htm (3 de 8) [17/4/2005 10:44:28]

capable of justifying itself by unfailing results when put to the test of homœopathic therapeutics. Numerous provings, each consisting of but a single observation, even the result of but a single dose, appeal to our knowledge of the effects of analogous drugs as genuine ; they must be utilized, their symptoms guide us unerringly to the saving of life, and they cannot be discarded. We acknowledge the lack of accuracy in observation, the failure of confirmation required for scientific accuracy ; we are cognizant of the absolute necessity of rebuilding the whole symptomatology from the very foundation, cure the sick as best we may, and use sometimes doubtful material to accomplish our results. During this interim we must endeavor to keep separate the probably pure pathogenesis and the merely clinical history of each drug, for by doing this our pathogenesis will undergo a slow regeneration, good observations will replace the bad and our therapeutics will rest upon an ever-increasingly strong foundation. The arrangement of a symptomatology for daily work in therapeutics is a matter of the utmost importance. Attempts have been made to construct working materia medicas for homœopathists on the plan of grouping the symptoms of each prover by themselves, but they fail of ready usefulness and we find ourselves obliged to work on the lines of our great master, Hahnemann. The actual need is a grouping of symptoms under the regions of the body, and under rubrics so that the symptoms of our patients may readily be compared with those of a drug thought to be a applicable. We are compelled to prescribe for symptoms, and drug-symptoms must constantly be compared with those of the patient. It is rarely possible to find identity of expression between patient and prover ; even the designation of similar pains varies ; frequently the peculiar pain of the sick person has never been experienced by any prover in exactly the same locality, but drug-analogies may be followed and a remedy successfully selected. The necessity of looking through the symptoms referred to any locality constantly forces itself upon us. The "Schema" of Hahnemann must then be followed for all ordinary work. For extraordinary symptoms repertories of various sorts are needed ; usually Bœnninghausen's method can be followed, namely, get the drugs affecting the part, get the drugs causing the particular sensation noted, get the conditions ; then turn to the "Schema" and see which of the selected drugs applies best to the patient. Sometimes also we feel the need of some sort of a concordance to hunt up remarkable symptoms. Systematic study of a drug requires a very different sort of an arrangement ; for this the student needs to consult

impartially all provings which have been made in good faith, to note the evolution of drug-effects, to compare the day books of the different provers, and to determine, if possible, the true characters of the drug-disease. A full collection of all provings would be most valuable. In the study of provings or of the "Schema" it should be kept constantly in mind that just as groups of symptoms vary in individuals sick with any definite "disease," pathologically considered, so the groupings of symptoms in the provings vary, and it is extremely rare, if indeed it has ever happened, to find the total symptoms of any patient paralleled by those of any prover. While it is even infrequent to get the total of any patient out of all the provers, it is constantly necessary to make up the nearest possible to the total from several provers, and it really matters not where the individual symptoms come from, so they be reliable ; even parts of symptoms may be pieced together, a pain here, a locality there, a condition from another or from several (the "condition" should dominate the whole.), to complete the picture and the cure. Hence it follows that in condensing our symptomatology great liberties may be taken, if only the exact meaning be preserved. Liberties have not been taken, after this fashion, in the preparation of this book, but smaller books could readily and safely be made from this by condensing after the above method.
The selection of the remedy. The first duty of the therapeutist is to note carefully and completely the various complaints of his patient and add thereto his own observations concerning his condition, that is to say, he must get all of the subjective and objective symptoms. This duty is frequently quite apart from that performed in making a diagnosis and requires quite a different line of investigation ; this duty may, indeed, be performed without making a diagnosis, though it is not wise to attempt it. Having "taken the case," one sets about finding the remedy which corresponds most closely to the symptoms. Three things must be done before this Handbook is consulted : (1) get a list of the drugs which affect the localities complained of by the patient ; (2) get a list of the drugs which correspond to the sensations, and (3) get the drugs which have the same aggravations and ameliorations. The importance of these groups is inverse to the order above mentioned ; the last is most important. These lists are to be obtained from the "Pocket-book of Therapeutics," based on Bœnninghausen's work. Select from these lists those drugs which occur most http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/preface.htm (5 de 8) [17/4/2005 10:44:28]
Preface - Hand Book of Materia Medica and Homoeopathic Therapeutics. - By T. F. Allen. - Presented by Médi-T.
frequently, compare their symptoms in the Handbook with those of the patient, and select the drug which best covers the case. These directions are simple, easily followed by any one, whether educated or not, and will frequently lead to success. It must, however, be remembered that there are great and important differences in the symptoms of the sick, not only as regards their influence over a diagnosis, but also as regards their importance in influencing the choice of a remedy. It must also be recognized that a thorough knowledge of the peculiarities of a drug may lead to its selection, even if it may have but few of the symptoms of the patient. The above sort of knowledge distinguishes the "professional" from the un-professional therapeutist, the leader from the imitator. In the case of the patient, it may be said that there are comparatively few simple diseases to prescribe for. Most symptom-lists are extremely complicated ; in chronic complaints the observation that one organ after another has become involved finishes series of symptoms from new foci, as it were, the lately developed symptoms often overpower and obscure previous affections ; in acute diseases the immediate symptoms are complicated by a series of old chronic troubles which, likely as not, have so affected the vitality of the individual that the acute disease has become possible. In the latter case (frequently in scarlatina and the other so-called zymotic diseases.), we find our patient unresponsive to the remedy selected for the most numerous and apparently important symptoms, and are compelled to fall back upon a careful analysis of a few chronic troubles. It seems to be true that an individual, free from inherited and acquired disease, will not be affected by any zymosis whatever, and that a person sick with a zymotic disease will, if freed from the incubus of his chronic complaint, speedily recover. In such a case, then we may safely say that the totality of the symptoms is not to be regarded. Still we must prescribe very frequently for a few severe and distressing symptoms, and postpone for a time the investigation of the past history and present complications of the malady. This symptom-palliation is usually followed by most practitioners to the exclusion of thorough work in therapeutics, but he who practices it exclusively or even habitually is liable to administer as many different medicines as there are urgent symptoms, and finally to resort to physiological palliation and become almost wholly empirical in his practice. In these acute diseases a knowledge of the nature of the morbid process enables the expert to separate the symptoms due to the recent malady from those which are contingent and

individual and which must be considered most seriously. In the vast majority of cases the most brilliant cures are made and life actually saved by the selection of a remedy which corresponds to the fewer individual rather than to the more numerous generic symptoms. Herein lies the secret of getting at what is characteristic in the patient. In chronic diseases the conditions are somewhat different, and as a rule the symptoms are less complicated, but it frequently becomes necessary to exercise great partiality toward a few symptoms to the exclusion of the many. In most of the chronic maladies which show no tendency to recover, but rather to involve one organ after another, the original symptoms become obscured. For example, in cancer, the tumor, with its destructive metamorphoses, has developed from the underlying cachexia which has determined its manifestations. This secondary development gives rise to new and obtrusive symptoms which may entirely mask the real disease. Consumption develops from the scrofulous habit. The Lithæmic diathesis gives rise to a host of degenerative changes in various organs and tissues which develop new sets of symptoms. In all of these and other similar diseases it becomes our duty to investigate thoroughly the nature of the morbid processes, to study the evolution of the malady and separate the symptoms into groups. While it may be true that the absolute totality of all the symptoms would include the original, determining and essential symptoms of the case, yet he who fails to grasp the full significance of all the symptoms will fail to appreciate the overpowering value of the few. It is then necessary to get at what is characteristic in the patient in all forms of sickness. Drugs must be studied in much the same way ; provings are to be followed step by step as they develop in the day books of the provers. Unfortunately the earlier provers have given us no day books, and too many of the later disciples have followed their example ; but when possible study the originals and note the peculiarities of each drug, observe the predominating sensations, study the conditions under which these sensations appear or are modified, note the organs affected ; this study is to be pursued during quiet hours, and need not be associated with the selection of a remedy for a patient. In the selection of the remedy it must always be remembered that there is no specific for a "disease," that the symptoms only of the sick are to be treated, and that these symptoms vary in each individual. It may also be recognized that these groups of symptoms, varying so constantly in individuals, are to be met by varying groups of drug symptoms, and that these groups must be made up from different provers. The recognition of this http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/preface.htm (7 de 8) [17/4/2005 10:44:28]

fact determines the arrangement of our symptomatology for practical work in therapeutics ; it seems clear that in no other way can homœopathy be practiced successfully. Nothing need be said concerning the size of the dose further than it bears upon the relative value of symptoms. It is contended by some that the order of evolution of symptoms in provers varies with the amount of drug taken, and that this has a bearing upon the size of dose of the drug to be administered to the sick who suffer from symptoms which appear in a similar way. It may be said in reply that the practical experience of the best prescribers negatives such a hypothesis, and it may further be asserted that there is no fixed order of evolution either in prover or patient. Provers vary greatly in their susceptibility to drugs, and any given amount of a drug may be large relatively to the sensitiveness of one prover and small as regards the sensitiveness of another, so that the order of evolution of effects is constantly changing. The same is true of the sick ; a dose large for one individual is small for another, and the only guide to the size of dose for any patient is his individual susceptibility to drugs in general or to any particular drug at any particular time. It has been fully established by experience that it matters not (for therapeutics.) by what sort of dose an effect has been produced ; only let a symptom be reliable, it will be cured by different doses for different people. The people of drug necessary to produce it varies with the susceptibility of the prover, the amount needed for its removal varies with the susceptibility of the patient. It is confidently hoped that this Handbook will contribute to the more certain application of homœopathic therapeutics to the symptoms of the sick by the critical examination of which the best results are to be attained.
