2. NOW, as in a disease, from which no Manifest exciting or maintaining cause (causa occasionalis ) has to be removed, we can percieve nothing but the morbid symptoms, it must be the symptoms. Alone by which the disease demands and points to the remedy suited to relieve it and, moreover, the totality of these its symptoms, of this outwardly reflected picture of The internal essence of the disease, that is , of the affection of the vital force, must be the principal, or the sole means, whereby the disease can make known what remedy requires. The only thing that can determine the choice of the most appropriate remedy and thus, in a word, the totality of the symptoms. Must be the principal, indeed the only thing the physician has to take note of in every case of disease and to remove by means of his art, in order that the disease shall be cured and transformed into health.. 2 APHORISM-7
