Excerpt from The Systemic Functions and Their Reciprocal Influence in Disease: Being Preliminary to a Study of Pharmaco-Dynamics
The fundamental difference between physicians of the Old school and the New, is to be found in their method of observing disease as a therapeutic problem. An Old school physician in charge of a number of cases of croupous pneumonia, sees little or no difference between one and another, for the physi cal signs, the cough, pain, dyspnoea and other local symptoms, are practically the same; consequently, being guided by these pathological indications, his treatment will be alike in all cases. Should a serious complication arise in any case, he will treat it independently of the disease.
The New school physician considers his cases differently. He sees these points of similarity, but also finds that the collateral phenomena, headache, delirium, pains in back or limbs, vomiting or diarrhoea, differences of temperature, car diac tone, etc., show considerable variation; consequently he distinguishes one case from another by the presence or ab sence of these concomitants. He then chooses his remedy for each case as a unit.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to redress the balance of homeopathic practice by re-examining the physiological basis of Hahnemann's ideas, and reasserting the importance of collateral symptoms as markers of disease progression. By drawing on empirical evidence, it argues that the correct interpretation of the so-called 'remedial' symptoms is essential for the correct application of the similimum, and ultimately, the most effective treatment of illness. The author puts forward an original classification of symptoms which allows groups of symptoms to be related to physiological functions, and gives new insight into the continuing importance of Hahnemann's Organon.
