WHAT THE DOCTOR NEEDS TO KNOW IN ORDER TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL PRESCRIPTION.

We receive many letters from patients asking for medicine for some specified disease by name and not mentioning any symptoms upon which we can base an intelligent prescription. The homoeopathic physician has no remedy for the name of a disease. Homoeopathy is an exact science. It is based upon a natural law, and the true physician must prescribe in accordance with law of nature.

Homoeo¬pathy has no specific for any disease by name, but it has a true specific for each individual case of disease. That is, Homoeopathy does not treat fever, or any other disease, in the abstract, but applies medicine: to the individual personality in that condition which produces or causes fever. To apply the homoeopathic remedy properly that condition of the individual patient must be known by the voice of nature speaking through symptoms.

The beneficent Creator has ordained that every diseased condition shall be made known by certain symptoms, and whenever that same condition is present that same set of symptoms will also be present. Certain symptoms are always present in any given disease; these points alone to the name of the disease. In every given disease there is another class of symptoms peculiar to the individual and differing in some way from those of other cases of the same disease; these symptoms show the individual characteristics of the patient and point unerringly to the curative homoeopathic remedy. When these symptoms peculiar to the individual patient are known the homoeopathic remedy can be selected that will surely cure every curable disease, whether the disease be tumors, morbid growths, cancer or other skin diseases, or any form of chronic or acute disease peculiar to man, woman or child.

To accomplish this desirable result every case must be individualized, every symptom from head to feet must be given, every variation from positive health must be known. Whatever is not as it should be, is a symptom and must be recorded. This complete picture of the disease cannot always be given in a written communication, and hence, it is best for the physician to see the patient at least once. But as many patients wish to be treated by correspondence, in fact, must be under certain circumstances, the same good result can be attained by the patient writing his most prominent, marked, peculiar and characteristic symptoms, especially those differing from other cases of the same disease.
