| - | In 1875, Hering published the first volume of //Analytical Therapeutics of the Mind// in which he stated that "//only// such patients remain well and are really cured, who have been rid of their symptoms in the reverse order of their development". (page 24) [(Hering C. Analytical Therapeutics of the Mind. Vol 1. Philadelphia: Boericke & Tafel, 1875.)] Here Hering makes no mention of the three other propositions regarding the direction of cure: from above downwards, from within outwards and from the more important to the less important organs. Why? Were they not considered as important to evaluate the direction of cure as stated in previous years? | + | In 1875, Hering published the first volume of //Analytical Therapeutics of the Mind//, in which he stated that "//only// such patients remain well and are really cured, who have been rid of their symptoms in the reverse order of their development".

| - | In the same work, Hering also explains that he adopted Hahnemann's arrangement of the materia medica: "First inner symptoms, then outer ones. This order we have now uniformly preserved throughout the whole work." (page 21) In explaining //why// he adopted this arrangement he says: "The arrangement as well as the style of printing, has the one object especially in view, viz.: to make it as easy as possible for the eye, and through the eye, for the mind to find what is looked for." He makes no mention of this arrangement corresponding to a direction of cure, as it has been suggested by some well wishing homeopaths. | + | In the same work, Hering also explains that he adopted Hahnemann's arrangement of the materia medica: "First inner symptoms, then outer ones.
