Aphorism 38

Aphorism 38

If the older disease is weaker, the stronger newer disease can easily enter the organism and suspend the older disease. In short, the stronger suspends the weaker. If the disease which is already present inside the body is weaker, then the newer stronger disease can easily enter the body and complete its course. After the course of the new disease is over, the older disease resurfaces and continues to produce its symptoms.

Example: 
1. Dr. Tulpius observed that two children who were suffering with epilepsy remained free from epileptic fits, as long as they had tineat (ringworm). When the ring worm infection was removed, the epilepsy again resurfaced. 
2. Schopf observed that a case of itch disappeared when scurvy attached the same person. Again, when the scurvy was gone the itch reoccurred. 
3. The same way pulmonary phthisis remained in control when the patient was attacked with violent form of typhoid. But the phthisis advanced when the typhoid got well. 
4. It was observed again that the mania keeps the phthisis under control, it reappears when the mania gets cured. 
5. Measles and smallpox suppress each other. If measles, attack a child who is already suffering with smallpox, measles suppress the smallpox and runs its course. After the completion of the course of measles, the smallpox resurfaces. The same thing happens in vice versa if smallpox attacks a child already suffering with measles. 
6. Scarlatina and cowpox behaves in the same way as stated in the above example of smallpox and measles. 
7. Kortum observed that inoculation of cowpox in a patient suppressed measles. The same measles reappeared after the course of cowpox was over. 
8. Hahnemann himself observed that mumps (angina parotidea) immediately disappeared when cowpox inoculation worked well. After the termination of the cowpox, mumps

Allopaths with their stronger medicines, create stronger dissimilar diseases in the patient's body. These medicinal diseases keep the natural disease suppressed for a long period of time. After the medicinal power is over, the natural disease comes again in to action. So, in this system cure is not possible. But the dissimilar procedure adopted by the allopaths make the condition of the patient worse and incurable. 
Example: Pechlin observed that the allopaths suppressed epilepsy by means of issues. But the epilepsy reappeared once the issue got healed. It indicates that the issue suppressed epilepsy as long as it persisted.

Aphorism 89

Explained of Aphorism 89 Need of asking special questions.  When the patient has finished on his own accord his story of suffering and has answered to the questions of physician, but physician thinks that he had not made complete picture of disease then he is at liberty to ask some special questions.  Physician has to rely on patient for description of his sensation of suffering unless it is a case of malingering. Even feigned diseases can be diagnosed by close observation.  In footnote Dr. Hahnemann gives example of special questions, avoiding its frame to be suggestive in itself, like -  •How often are his bowels moved?
