Homoeopathic attenuations

Her experiments in homoeopathy had made her skep- tical as to material curative methods. Jahr, from Aconitum to Zincum oxydatum, enumerates the general symptoms, the characteristic signs, which demand different remedies; but the drug

is frequently attenuated to such a degree that not a ves- tige of it remains. Thus we learn that it is not the drug which expels the disease or changes one of the symptoms of disease.
