recognition of this law crept into use, but ancient hindu manuscripts recorded its application.

demonstrated in greater or lesser degree.hahnemann, by his fine observation and the inductive

method of reasoning ,became convinced of this law of cure (similia similibus curantur).

he embraced it and declared it to be universal, a basic law of therapeutics. from a crude law of

nature it became an applied principle of a system of healing.

according to this system, thechoice of the medicine is fundamentally based on the

principle that the medicine must have the capabili!y of producing most similar symptoms of
