Excerpt from The Pathogenetic Effects of Some of the Principal Homoeopathic Remedies Introductory and Practical Observations I have refrained from mentioning the strength in which the remedies should be employed in the treatment of disease, as this must necessarily vary according to the nature of the case and the susceptibility of the patient. The dose, however, can scarcely be too minute when the remedy is perfectly homoeopathic to the symptoms. As a general rule in the treatment of acute diseases, the best plan is to dissolve one or more globules of the remedy in six or eight table-spoonfuls of water, and to administer a tea-spoonful once every hour, or more frequently in urgent cases, until amelio ration oi the symptoms is perceptible; it should then be given at longer intervals or discontinued. By this means aggravation is avoided. In chronic afl'ections the remedy should be dissolved in a considerable quantity of water, and a table-spoon ful taken every day fasting, the dose being varied according to circumstances. The diet should be so regulated that nothing producing medicinal ef fects be taken as a part Of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
