Aphorism 33 Medicinal power is superior to that of natural disease or miasm.  As natural disease act conditionally and medicines act unconditionally so, Dr. Hahnemann says that all experiences are in accordance to the fact that living organism is much more disposed having liability to be acted upon, thereby deranging its state of health by medicinal powers rather than by natural diseases or miasms.    ► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann gives supportive evidences to his statement by citing that during 1801 Smooth Scarlatina of Sydenham, which used to occur epidemically among children, it generally attacked all the children who had escaped the previous attack of epidemic; but in similar epidemic which Dr. Hahnemann witnessed in Konigslutter, he saw that all the children who had taken small dose of Belladonna in time remained unaffected by highly infectious infantile disease. So, Dr. Hahnemann says that if the medicine can protect from diseases, then they should have va...

Aphorism 32 Medicines acts unconditionally.  Medicines in contrast to those of diseases unconditionally, following are characteristics of medicines -   1. Medicines are called artificial morbific agents as they are capable of producing symptoms of sickness in healthy person resulting him to look sick.  2.

In last line of previous aphorism, it was mentioned that the probable explanation which Dr. Hahnemann was going to put forward is based on proposition which is mentioned here. Dr. Hahnemann here says that human body is more powerfully affected in health by medicines as compared to that of natural disease  1. Partly because regulation of dose of medicine is under our control  2. Partly because natural diseases are cured and overcome by suitable medicines.  ► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann says that short duration of action of medicine is comparable to acute miasm like small pox, measles etc., contrary to chronic miasms - Psora, Syphilis and Sycosis, which after effecting organism once is not removed by irrational effort of instinctive vital force unless treated by stronger anti miasmatic medicines. But in case of acute miasm after affecting organism, it cures previously existing similar disease and leav...
