Homoeopathic Materia
Medica
Just now when the thought of the entire medical profession the world over is veering
away from polypharmacy and courting the single agent, when men like von Behring
and Wright and Roux are tempering the actual etiological factor in degree for the
acquisition of a beneficent immunity, when the size of dose as exemplified by
preparations of tuberculin are reduced to one millionth of a milligram, when the
physicians of all schools unite in admitting the need of testing the action of drugs on
humans themselves and when in a state of health, it may surely be of interest to read
and pursue the works of this great German nobleman who was in point of fact the
indomitable Ajax of the homoeopathic practice of his day. Standing at the very door
of the citadel of truth he kept the sacred fires of healing science alit by the broad-axe
of truth itself.
Like the sire of Hahnemann himself he lived the motto of that man's belief "To
act and to be, not merely to seem."

Preface.
by Dr Donald MACFARLAN
When Hahnemann refers to the "spirit-like" vital force and power liberated by the
casting off of the coarser envelopes of material particles of the drug, which liberates
those finer and intramolecular forces that are vibrating and pulsating with a rapidity
which enters into correspondence with the invisible, unweighable, imponderable
essence of life itself?
The requisites for homeopathic prescribing are: (1) The law of cure, (2) The single
remedy, (3) The minimum dose. All of these items must enter into every correct
prescription. It is interesting also to recall that the order in which the above
requirements are enumerated are exactly that followed in their development.
Hahnemann developed, to its most marked extent, the law of similars. His
experiments to obtain the pathogeneses or sick-making powers of drugs naturally led
him to apply them singly in diseases, that he might approach as closely as possible
the correct correspondence. Finally the adoption and recommendation of the
minimum dose was the result of the oft-verified observation, that in order to avoid
exacerbation and, at the same time, to expedite cure in a direct, rapid and permanent
manner the drug must be adminstered in the smallest possible amount, duly
commensurate with its power of exciting similar symptoms in the healthy. In this
connection, the drug, if properly chosen, exhibits the power of exerting a
correspondingly strong reaction of the vital forces in the direction of health. Such a
system of theraputics, embracing, as it does, the most careful individualization of the
case at hand, as to its origin in hygenic, psychic or medicinal (abuse of drugs)
causes, cannot be any other than the broadest, most truly scientific, and all-inclusive
system of healing known to the health seeker of the future.
For valuable considerations given me in the compilation of this little work I wish to
thank Dr. Wm. H Yaeger and Dr. Wm B. Griggs for proof-reading and suggestions
germane to the form of presentation of the notes themselves and to Dr. E. P. Anshutz
and John A. Borneman, Ph. D., for valuable suggestions. To my friend, Dr. G.
Harlan Wells, I wish to extend many thanks for his kindness in publishing many of
these characteristics in our state organ The Hahnemannian Monthly.
