Aphorism 45

Aphorism 45


Cure is affected when two similar diseases meet together in an organism.

 Beginning this aphorism with an exclamation no means that what happens in case when two dissimilar diseases meet together do not occur in case when two similar diseases meet together in an organism.
 
 Two diseases similar to each other in their suffering annihilate one another when they meet together in an organism, the stronger removes the weaker permanently. New disease occupies the site of the organism that was previously occupied by old disease. The old disease resulting from the dynamic cause without any material substratum is removed permanently from the organism by the entry of the later disease which is dynamic in nature similar to and stronger than the existing disease. 
 
In field of therapeutics, new similar but stronger morbific potency controls feelings of the patient and hence the life principle on account of its peculiarity can no longer feel the weaker similar disease, which is extinguished exists no longer - for it was never anything material, but a dynamic - spirit-like (conceptual) affection. This occurs temporarily by new similar but stronger morbific potency. 

In footnote there is an example of dynamic influence having no material substratum in which it is mentioned that image of a lamp's flame is rapidly overpowered and effaced from our retina by stronger sunbeam falling on the eye.

Aphorism 85

Explanation of Aphorism 84 Procedure to be adapted in writing.  While the patient narrates his sufferings the physician begins to write every new circumstance with a fresh line and leaves a few lines before beginning a new symptom, so that he could add to any line the matter which had not been explained properly.  Some physicians while taking up the case writes rubrics instead of whole symptoms as instructed in this section, saving their time. But whenever that record is seen much is lost as the exact expression and words of patient is missing and we find only interpretation of the physician in the form of rubrics - which if goes wrong is tough to rectify due to absence of full symptoms.
