Knowledge of Disease:
Aphorism 71, he explained the operation of curing is comprised in the three points. The first is “ How is the physician to ascertain what is necessary to be known in order to cure the disease?”
Aphorism 72-104 he explains about the disease and how to understand the disease. Slide5

Aph.95- lesser accessory symptoms.
Aph-96- Hypochondriacs. Exaggerated expressions.
Aph-97- false modesty, mildness, describe symptoms in vague terms. Slide7
Knowledge of medicine:
In aph.105. the second point of the business of a true physician relates to acquiring a knowledge of the instruments intended for the cure of the natural diseases, investigating the
pathogenetic
power of the medicines.
Aph.105-145 explain this knowledge of medicines.
Aph.108- administer the medicine in moderate doses to healthy persons, in order to ascertain what changes, symptoms and signs of their influence each individually produces on the health of the body and of the mind.Slide8
Aph.143. Tested on the healthy individual a considerable number of simple medicines and carefully and faithfully registered all the disease elements and symptoms they are capable of developing as artificial disease-producers- true
materia
medica
.
Aph.144. From such a
materia
medica
everything that is conjectural, all that is mere assertion or imaginary should be strictly excluded; everything should be the pure language of nature carefully and
honestely
interrogated. Slide9
Knowledge of
Choice
of the remedy:
In aph.146. the third point of the business of a true physician relates to the judicious employment of the artificial
morbific
agents that have been proved on healthy individuals to ascertain their pure action, in order to effect the homoeopathic cure of natural diseases.
Aph.147- medicines that have been investigated as to their power of altering man’s health we find to contain in symptoms observed from its use the greatest similarity to the totality of the symptoms of a given natural disease, this medicine will and must be the most suitable, the most certain homoeopathic remedy for the disease.Slide10
Knowledge of
Preparation
of medicine:
Aph.264. the true physician must be provided with genuine medicines of unimpaired strength, so that he may be able to rely upon their therapeutic powers; he must be able, himself, to judge of their genuineness.
Aph.265. thoroughly convinced in every case that the patient always takes the right medicine and therefore he must give the patient the correctly chosen medicine prepared, moreover, by himself. Slide11
Aph.270. In order to best obtain the development of power, a small part of the substance to be dynamized.
Aph.271. If the physician prepares his homoeopathic medicines himself, he may use the fresh plant itself, as but little of the crude article is required.Slide12
Knowledge of
Proper
dose:
Aph.272. a globule, placed dry upon the tongue, is one of the smallest doses for a moderate recent case of illness. Here but few nerves are touched by the medicine. A similar globule, crushed with some sugar of milk and dissolved in a good deal of water and stirred well before every administration will produce a far more powerful medicine for the use of several days. Every dose, no matter how minute, touches, on the contrary many nerves.Slide13
In Aph.247. if the succeeding dose is changed slightly every time, namely some potentized somewhat higher then the vital principle may be altered without difficulty by the medicine and thus the cure brought nearer.
In Aph.273. in no case under treatment is it necessary and therefore not permissible to administer to a patient more than one single, simple medicinal substance at one time. Slide14
Knowledge of
Repetition
of the dose:
In Aph.276. a medicine, even though it may be homoeopathically suited to the case of disease, thus harm in every dose that is too large and in strong doses it does more harm the greater its
homoeopathicity
and the higher the potency selected, and it does much more injury than any equally large dose of a medicine that is
unhomoeopathic
.
Too large doses of an accurately chosen homoeopathic medicine, and especially when frequently repeated, bring about much trouble as a rule. This too strong dose of the homoeopathic medicine acted upon him but he is in consequence more ill with the similar but more violent medicinal disease which is most difficult to destroy. Slide15
In Aph.246. every perceptibly progressive and strikingly increasing amelioration during treatment is a condition which, as long as it lasts, completely precludes every repetition of the administration of any medicine whatsoever, because all the good the medicine taken continues to effect is now hastening towards its completion.Slide16
Knowledge of
Obstacles
to recover:
In Aph.260. the careful investigation into obstacles to cure so much the more necessary in the case of patients affected by chronic diseases, as their diseases are usually aggravated by such noxious influences and other disease causing errors in the diet and regimen, which often pass unnoticed.
Foot note of Aph.260. – examples are givenSlide17
Knowledge of
Aware
how to remove them:
In Aph.261. the most appropriate regimen during the employment of medicine in chronic diseases consists in the removal of such obstacles to recovery, and in supplying where necessary the reverse; innocent moral and intellectual recreation, active exercise in the open air in almost all kinds of weather, suitable nutritious, unmedicinal food and drink etc.
In Aph.262. in acute diseases that the physician only requires to counsel the friends and attendants to foot no obstacles in the way of voice of nature by refusing anything the patient urgently desires. Slide18
In Aph.262. The desire of the patient affected by an acute disease with regard to food and drink is certainly chiefly for things that give palliative relief. The slightest hindrances that the gratification of this desire, within moderate bounds could oppose to the radical removal of the disease. Slide19
