| The view of practical law and duty which we have been presenting, if admitted as authoritative will also dispose of another fashion of practice (we cannot regard it as aught but a fashion), that of prescribing at the same time two or more remedies to be given in alternation, at definite intervals of time, in the absence of all knowledge of what will be the condition of the patient at the lapse of either of these intervals, and therefore not knowing whether either of the given remedies will or will nor be a specific for his case at the time it is directed to be given. If either of the prescribed remedies be the specific for the case in hand the other cannot be. The idea of a specific for a given case, made such by the law of similars, excludes the possibility of a second in the same case, as it is impossible that each of the two can be “//most like//.” One or neither of the two may be, but both cannot. That which is not is at least useless, often mischievous, and never homeopathic. If to be this it is indispensible that each prescribed medicine shall be that which in its ascertained action on the living organism presents the most perfect likeness to the phenomena of the disease to be cured. | The view of practical law and duty which we have been presenting, if admitted as authoritative will also dispose of another fashion of practice (we cannot regard it as aught but a fashion), that of prescribing at the same time two or more remedies to be given in alternation, at definite intervals of time, in the absence of all knowledge of what will be the condition of the patient at the lapse of either of these intervals, and therefore not knowing whether either of the given remedies will or will nor be a specific for his case at the time it is directed to be given.
