Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exposition and critique of Hahnemann's system of homeopathy, a medical theory and practice developed in the late 18th century. The author provides a detailed examination of Hahnemann's doctrines, including the so-called law of similars (similia similibus curantur), the idea that a substance that causes certain symptoms in a healthy person can cure those same symptoms in a sick person. The author also discusses the use of infinitesimal doses in homeopathy and the process of proving remedies, the method by which homeopaths determine the effects of different substances on healthy individuals. The book argues that Hahnemann's system is not based on valid scientific evidence and that its claims are often exaggerated or false. The author offers a comprehensive analysis of homeopathy, providing a valuable resource for those interested in the history, principles, and efficacy of alternative medical practices.
