PRACTICE
teaches us that a single one of these smallest doses will, perhaps, in
some very light cases of disease, especially in small children and
delicate and very susceptible adults, be sufficient to do all that
medicine so far can do; that, however, in other cases, indeed in most
cases of continued as well as too far progressed, often by previous
drugging complicated, as also in grave acute diseases, plainly such a
minimum dose of a remedy, even in our highly dynamized potency, is
insufficient to produce all the curative effects which we can possibly
expect to be produced by this same remedy; for here it is undoubtedly
necessary to give several of such small doses, so that the life- force may
be pathogenetically changed to that degree, and the curative reaction so
increased that it may be enabled to eradicate all of the original disease,
which the well-selected homoeopathic remedy has the power to eradicate and
completely obliterate the same through its counter action. The
best-selected remedy in so small a dose, given once only, would give in
some cases some relief, but not by for enough.-SAMUEL HAHNEMANN, 1833.
