VOL. VIII No. 4 Dec. 1991

PART II ARTICLES

HAHNEMANN’s advice is, to take all the

symptoms of each case, as if it were the only

one Comp. Organon, Aph. 83, and following

the same is to be done while proving write

down all the symptoms. Comp. Organon, Aph.

138, 139 & c. In contradiction the common old

schools examine each case in order to make a

diagnosis and to enable the doctor to tell the

patient “what is the matter”, and if they talk

about the effects of a drug, they ask: “what

diseases does it cure?” “What pathological

generality is its character?” The true

Hahnemannian examines each case to get such

symptoms as distinguish this case from all

tohers. He observes the strictest

individualization; like a portrait painter, he

wants a photograph of each single case of

sickness. Such symptoms or groups of

symptoms as distinguish the case before him

form others, are the characteristic symptoms

he aims at. The same in proving; we want the

characteristics of a medicine, i.e., such

symptoms as distinguish it from all others.

HAHNEMANN’s rule sets forth, that we

must aim to get all symptoms, particularly

such as have hitherto been overlooked,

neglected, not listened to and sneered at. to get

what we necessarily must know. It is the same

with provings of drugs. By collecting all and

every symptom and particularly the so-called

minutiae, we obtain the characteristics. The

common old schools are satisfied with a

general pathological character by which drugs

may be divided into classes, but never can be

individualized, each as a thing per. se.

HAHNEMANN’s first rule is the

characteristic of the case must be similar to the

characteristic of the drug (compare Organon,

Aph. 153, and others).

This rule has also been expressed in the

following words. The symptoms of a case and

the symptoms of a medicine must not only be

alike, one by one. but in both the same

symptoms must also be of a like rank.

(Compare Archive. XI., 3, p.92) It is thus the

rank, according to which we arrange the

symptoms obtained by the examination of a

case, - the rank, the value, the importance of

the respective symptoms of the drug, which

decides when, as it often will happen, several

different drugs have apparently the same

similarity; it is this rank which decides in the

selection.

HAHNEMANN has given us a second

rule in his Chronic Diseases. We may either

adopt his psoric theory or not; but, if we follow

his practical advice laid down in the said work,

we shall, in proportion, have far better success

and will be forced to adopt at least all the

practice rules contained in the said theory.

The pith of this theory is not refuted by

the discovery of the scarus scabiei, nor by the

generation sequlvoca, nor the contagiousness,

nor by the propagation of the animalculae, nor

by anything else; the quintessence of his

doctrine is, to give in all chronic diseases, i.e.

such as progress from without inwardly, from

the less essential parts of our body to the more

essential, from the periphery to the central

HAHNEMANN’s THREE RULESCONCERNING THE RANK OF SYMPTOMSConstantine HERINGThe Hahnemannian MonthlyI, 1/1865

organ, generally from below upwards, - to give

in all such cases by preference, such drugs as

are opposite in their direction, or way of

action, such as act from within outward, from

up downward, from the most essential organs

to the less essential from the brain and the

nerves outwards and down to the most outward

and the lowest of all organs, to the skin,

(Compare Preface to treatise on Chronic

Diseases, p.7, and following). The metaphysics

of our science tell us, that all drug diseases

(paranosses) are in their essence and offspring,

opposite to the whole mass of epidemic,

contagious, and other disease, all of the later

being originated by a conflux of causes,

(Synnoses).

HANENMANN’s doctrine of treating

chronic disease, includes another and opposite

viz., the opposite direction in the development

of each case of chronic disease. All the

antipsoric drugs of HAHNEMANN have this

peculiarity as the most characteristic, the

evolution of the effects from within towards

without. Thus, all symptoms indicating such a

direction in the cases from without towards

within, and in the drugs the opposite from

within towards without, are of the highest

rank, they decide the choice.

HAHNEMANN gives us a third rule,

which has been overlooked by all the low

dilutionists, or is, at least, never mentioned by

them, and has even been entirely neglected by

the theorizers of our school; notwithstanding

that, with this third rule, the homoeopathic

healing art would be a most imperfect one.

This rule enables the true Hahnemannian artist,

not only to cure the most obstinate chronic

diseases, but also to make a certain prognosis,

when discharging a case, whether the patient

will remain cured, or whether the disease will

return, like a half-paid creditor, at the first

opportunity.

HAHNEMANN states, in his treatise on

chronic disease, first edition, p. 228, second

edition, p.168, American translation p.171:

Symptoms recently developed are the first to

yield; old symptoms disappear last. Here we

have one of HAHNEMANN’s general

observations, which lie all of them, is of

endless value, a plain, practical rule and of

immense importance.

It might seem to some so very natural that

recent symptoms should give way first, older

ones last, that it ought to have been observed

by all and every physician at all times. But this

is not the case; it was never observed before

HAHNEMANN, nor ever stated as a rule

before.

We will set forth here all the

consequences of this rule of succession but

first repeat it in another form.

We might express the above rule also in

the following words; In diseases of long

standing, where the symptoms or groups of

symptoms have befallen the sick in a certain

order, succeeding, each other , more and more

being added from time to time to those already

existing, in such cases this order should be

reversed during the cure; the last ought to

disappear first and the first last.

Suppose a patient had experienced the

symptoms he suffers in the order a,b,c,d,e, then

they ought to leave him, if the cure is to be

perfect and permanent, in the order, e,d,c,b,a.

The latest symptoms have thus the highest

rank in deciding the choice of a remedy.

Suppose a patient complains of new

symptoms, as it often happens during the

treatment of cases of long standing,

particularly if we have chosen with great care a

so-called antipsoric medicine, and the

improvement has, of course, continued

uninterruptedly, foru, six, eight weeks, after

which time the improvement gradually ceases,

runs out, and the patient begins again to

complain rather more. In such cases we will

very often find, if we again take an accurate

image of the newly increased diseased state,

exactly as we did before, that several new

symptoms have appeared. We may represent it

by the formula: a,b,c,d,c, have lessened,

especially e, d, c, and now a, b are on the

increase again, even c reappears d, e, are gone,

but another symptom f has been added or f, g

These new symptoms are always of the highest

rank, even if apparently unimportant.

It may be observed that they generally are

such as will be found among the symptoms of

the last given remedy, thus the caution may

here be in its place, that after such a long

interval, or after such a real again, as the

disappearance of d, e, the same drug will never

be of any more benefit, the greatest counter –

indication ebing the new symptoms. Another

medicine has to be selected, and one which has

especially f, or f, g, as characteristics.

The practical influence of these three rules

of rank proves to be not only a manifold one,

but their observance becomes a characteristic

sign of difference of a mere empiric – in

homoeopathics a perverted Homoeopathician,

and a real Hahnemannian; the first will cover

symptom by symptom, without knowing or

making any distinction; the second will be

satisfied with a few such symptoms as tell him,

what he calls the scientific character and

enable him to go on the stilts of pathology; the

third will observe the rules and heal the sick as

HAHNEMANN did. It is thus worthwhile to

look at them closer, and let them pass before

our eyes once more.

According to the first rule we must inquire

not only for the seat of the symptoms, inquire

which organ seems to be the center o the

pathological action, but also for the minutiae in

locality, notwithstanding their complete

unimportance in pathology, viz., little

inflammations on the point of the nose and

lobe of the ear may help to indicate Nitrum,

etc., According to this rule we will carefully

note it down, if any of these sensations of a

patient are on one side of the body or the other,

if they predominate on one side, or if they pass

over from one side to the other.

We have further to inquire for each kind

of sensation with much more accuracy than

would be required if we had nothing else to

decide than the pathological character; some

peculiar sensations, trifles in themselves, may

be of importance in the choice of the medicine,

even such as are unexplainable by physiology

or never taken notice of by pathology, viz., a

feeling as if from the falling of a drop of water,

may help to indicate Cannabis.

We must inquire for the times of the day

when the symptoms of a patient appear to

increase, are ameliorated or disappear. This is

very often the only criterion, by which we

decide our choice. Even the hours of the day

are very often of a decisive influence, viz., the

hours after midnight, one to three, may help to

indicate Arscnicum or Kali carbonicum; the

hours in the afternoon, from four to seven in

the evening, may help to indicate Helleborus

or Lycopodium, etc.,

Likewise every function of our body,

sleeping and waking, eating, drinking,

walking, standing, rest or motion, etc., must be

taken into consideration in so far as they may

be one of the conditions of aggravation or

amelioration of any of the symptoms of our

sick.

In the same very all connections of

symptoms following each other or alternation

with one another, whether they have a

pathological importance or not, are all for us of

the highest rank, if aided by them, we may

distinguish one case from another, or one drug

from another. The first rule, then, is that not

only the characteristics must be alike, but there

must also be a similarity of their respective

rank.

The second rule of HAHNEMANN

introduces a kind of distinction between the

different medicines which have been proved

and applied, which must gradually lead to

adoption of an order of rank among them. It is

a similar division to that of the so-called

Polychrests. But it is not this alone; the same

rule is also of great influence when we

arrange the symptoms of the sick.

All symptoms of inward affections, all the

symptoms of the mind or other inward actions,

are according to it, of much higher value than

the most molesting or destructive symptoms on

the surface of the body. A decrease or an

amelioration of outward symptoms, with an

increase of inward complaints, even if the

latter apparently are of little importance, will

be an indication for us, that our patient is

getting worse, and we must try to find out,

among his symptoms, the leading one, to

indicate another, a real curative medicine.

Very frequently we will see ineffectual

attempts, as it were, of the inward actions, to

throw out and bring to the surface that which

attacks the center of life. We must try to assist

such attempts, but neither by outward

applications, nor by a mere removal of that

which the disease produces, and still less by

medicines only similar to the same outward

symptoms. on the contrary, we must inquire

principally for the hidden inward symptoms,

and compare then with the utmost case, to find

among our medicines such as correspond

exactly to the subjective or inward symptoms,

and by preference among the antipsorics, i.e.

such as act more than others from within

towards without. The principal characteristics

of the antipsorics were obtained from the sick,

and only by the use of potencies. Drugs cannot

manifest such most important peculiarities

except by high potencies, and with the most

sensible persons.

The uses of the third rule of

HAHNEMANN are the following:

1. During the examination of the sick we

must inquire as much as possible, in which

order, according to time, did the different

symptoms make their first appearance.

2. After such a careful and complete

examination of a case, we must arrange our

collection of symptoms according to their

values, that is their importance as indicative,

and we must bring such as have appeared later,

in the foreground, of course without neglecting

the others and even the oldest. Further we must

compare when selecting a medicine and find

whether the one to be chosen has a

characteristic similarity, particularly with the

symptoms which appeared last.

3. If the patient had been drugged by the

old school, we must direct our antidotes

principally against the last given drugs. For

instance, against abuse of alcohol or aromatics.

Nux vomica; against tea, Pulsatilla or Thuja

against Quinine, Pulsatilla, etc; against Jodium

and Iodate of potassium, Hepar suphuris

calcarcum; against blistering, Camphor;

against cauterizing with nitrate of silver,

Natrum muriaticum; against bleeding, purging,

or losses of blood, Cinchona; against

mechanical injuries by stretching, Rhus, by

bruising, Amica Montana, etc., etc., against

Chloroform, Hyoscyamus, etc.

4. In every chronic case, after a well

chosen medicine has had time to improve the

case, and ceases to do good, and we have to

make a new examination to obtain a full image

of the new state of the sick, we must again

inquire particularly after newly appearing

symptoms. As we will find in almost all

carefully observed cases, that the new

symptoms correspond to the last applied

medicine, and as we know, a repetition of the

same drug would only aggravate, without

giving relief, particularly if general

characteristics, viz., with regard to times of

day, sides of the body, or other localities, have

changed or if other general conditions are

altered; the new medicine must be chosen with

regard to such new symptoms, considering

them as the most indicative, or of high rank.

5. If we have succeeded in restoring a

chronic case of long standing, and the

symptoms have disappeared in the reverse

order of their appearance, we can dismiss the

case with full confidence as being cured, and

not being in danger of returning again; if not,

we had better tell the patient, even if he should

be satisfied with the partial cure, that he may,

before long, be sick again.

As an appendix to HAHNEMMANN’s

three rules of rank, another, in regard to the

sides of the body could be mentioned here, and

if this new rule should be sufficiently

corroborated and sustained by further

observations, it might become in some cases of

great imprortance.This rule is the following:

Every affection going from one side of the

body to the other, is more effectually

overcome by such medicines as will cause or

produce the same similar affection, but in the

opposite direction. It seems to correspond to

the last of the rules given above, but has been

discovered entirely independent of it, hence it

is better to give it to the profession in a genetic

form, and in a separate communication.

Introduction: To the Kentian Clan and the

Boenninghausen Band, Greetings and News!

The Mouse may help the Lion. In

BOENNINGHAUSEN’s 482 small pages are

335 rubrics which are not to be found in

KENT’s 1423 larger pages.

The homoeopathic student is taught both

methods of repertorization – by KENT and by

BOENNINGHAUSEN – and is warned not to

mix the methods, not only because the remedy

grading is different, but because the ideology

is so disparate. These repertories, like most of

life, are full of paradoxes, The KENT

repertory claims to be based on Generals yet is

a maze of Particulars; BOENNINGHAUSEN’s

is most factual and classified; every symptom

that refers to a part may be predicated of the

whole. The interrelationship of symptoms and

RUBRICS IN BOENNINGHAUSEN NOT TO BE FOUND IN KENTElizabeth Wright HUBBARD (Edited for publication by Francis TREUHERZ; ‘The Homeopath’Vol. 10, No. 3, 1990

of remedies and the sequence of remedies are

brought out. It ones a way into the wide fields

of combinations. For BOENNINGHAUSEN,

the totality is made up of the general

characteristics of the particular symptoms plus

the condition, under the four general categories

of locality, sensation, modality (aggravations

or ameliorations) and concomitants.

ROBERTS in his brilliant Principles and

Practicability of BOENNINGHAUSEN’s

Therapeutic Pocket Book says it is based on

the doctrine of concomitants, a concomitant

being an attendant circumstance existing or

occurring with other symptoms, having always

a relation in time.

The concomitant is the differentiating

factor. HAHNEMANN says that ‘the

characteristic symptoms represent that which

is curable in each case of disease, in other

words the common symptoms of the diagnosis

do not point the way to cure.

BOENNINGHAUSEN called chronic

symptoms concomitants in acute ailments and

often prescribed exclusively on them, although

a drug should be findable covering both acute

and chronic.

The BOENNINGHAUSEN method shines

in cases without many mental symptoms;

without rare, strange and peculiar symptoms,

with few particulars; in cases where modalities

predominate and concomitants are marked;

cases showing pathological symptoms and

objective symptoms. ROBERTS used to say

that it was a good as Sensations As If, though

in larger terms.

Some of the features of

BOENNINGHAUSEN are unique, such as the

use of sides of the body throughout; rubrics of

troubles associated with stool, urination, etc.

accompanying symptoms of nose, leucorrhoea,

respiration, cough, menses, stool, fever, etc;

sleep and waking, aggravations and

ameliorations before, during and after cough,

vertigo, fever, menses, stool urine, sleep,

sweat, and so forth.

The last section on Relationships of

Remedies, pages 322 to 482, is the most

difficult for the novice and the most unused

part of the book, but discussion of it is outside

the scope of this paper.

The whole repertory is built on Generals,

yet there is no section for Generals, as there is

in KENT and certain general rubrics are

interspersed, with quite hilarious, unintentional

humour. For instance, under Aggravations is

the rubric for Children, and that for Women

(what is worse for Women? or Women are

worse for what? or are the remedies worse for

the Women?).

There are few Ameliorated by rubrics in

KENT, but there are 58 in

BOENNINGHAUSEN which are not in

KENT.

Certain symptoms crop up frequently in

case-taking which are baffling or impossible to

find in KENT, expect by combining rubrics or

taking the nearest, but not the exact, symptom.

BOENNINGHAUSEN uses commonsense

rubrics, such as ‘falling asleep late,’ ‘can’t get

to sleep again after waking,’ ‘becomes chilled

easily’; and rubrics of anatomical parts – often

obscure ones- such as Loins, Groins,

Perineum, Inner Gum, Tendo Achilles, nape

and the elusive antrum are to be easily

alphabetically found.

Among the gems are the rubrics on the

moon phases with art not in the 5th Edition of

KENT; the wind rubrics, the ‘blondes and

brunettes’, the pregnancy rubric and the

puerperal state, and such a frequent complaint

as sebaceous cysts.

Although BOENNINGHAUSEN has but

342 remedies as against KENT’s 591, it often

has a much larger rubric than the KENT. On

the other had it has none of the enormous and

useless rubrics such as unmodified ‘Vomiting’.

Even if you never repertorize by the full

BOENNINGHAUSEN method, you can save

yourself much time and trouble with specific

rubrics for shortcutting and office and bedside

work by the use of these unusual KENT, check

the equivalent one in BOENNINGHAUSEN;

you may find it there. Put a copy of this reprint

in your KENT. Let us use the best of both

methods in arriving at the Simillimum.

Note: KENT’s rubric ‘suddenly, come and go;

oddly enough has Kall-br. A search of

ALLEN, GRAF, HERING, JAHR, KROSZ,

NN, NOACK and PIPER (See publications

details above) did nto yield confirmation of

this. It may be assumed that this is an error and

‘Kall-bi’ should read Kall-bi. Kall-bi is

certainly substantiated by HERING, 1888,

p.340: sciatica: pains come on quickly and

subside soon’.

Dr. SCHMIDT calls attention to the fact

that KENT omits the pathognomonic

symptoms of asthma from his repertory study

as they are not helpful in differentiating the

homoeopathic remedy. To individualize and

evaluation is made easier by the different types

used in the repertories. In the following

abstract we are omitting over five pages of

direct quotation from KENT’s REPERTORY,

3rd edition.

************************************

Every physician is afraid of changes when

he is using certain ideas, concepts and

hypotheses (schemes to refer to ). This fear is

because of lack of instruments and lasts until

he is used to the new schemes.

The experience of my colleagues confirms

the referring schema which later on I will

develop. In this point I see my own experience

corroborated which I made while examining

mental symptoms which become manifest

during homoeopathic treatment.

Sometimes a too-fixed scheme leads to a

wrong interpretation of the development of a

patient. We are of different opinion about a

patient who after having received his remedy

does indeed improve his local

symptomatology, but mental symptoms appear

which until then suppression; other, who have

had a strict psychoanalytic training, think that

this is a favourable development of a patient

because it would mean a return to the original

cause of the conflict which caused the

somatisation.

This last-mentioned criterion is contrary to

what HERING thinks, which is well-founded

in the classical rule. On the other hand the term

conversion which is contained in the word

somatisation, is atomistic and excludes the

total view of human being, because of

separating psyche, soma and environment.

Sometimes we have to consider it as an

improvement if mental symptoms appear

which were not seen before dispensing of the

remedy; just let us take the case of a

Lycopodium patient who talks to us after

having then the remedy, about fears which he

never had before. In spite of this he feels much

better. In this case we observe that the

Lycopodium patient, because of his self-

defence-armour, by: means of which he

protected himself from the world, could not

HOMOEOPATHY AND PSYCHOANALYSISJuan S. SHAFERACTAHOMOEOPATHICA,XIV, 6/1970

face his fears. These threatened his little self-

confidence and therefore he refused to accept

them. Now, while he is improving, he is a

afraid to be as he really is and the fears are

staring. In a superficial examination one would

have never been able to conceive the real

development.

HAHNEMANN says in paragraph 254:

“… among numerous patients several are to be

found who are unable to indicate whether they

feel better or worse. Some even refuse to

answer or to admit.”

A profound psychological education

enables the physician to recognize

characteristic mental symptoms. In some

patients however, these symptoms are so

hidden that one can discover them only by

information concerning their social dynamic

relation.

*****

The author makes interesting comparisons and

points out a few new angles useful in

prescribing, especially the one concerning

teenagers running away from home and a few

key notes by Dr. SCHMIDT.

IN SEARCH OF A LOST IDEAL: Subtle,

difficult to know, doesn’t even understand

himself, wants to escape his own weaknesses.

Close to his psychological framework is

Medorrhinum, where the escape is to the future

and in time whilst the Tuberculinum escape is

spatial: ‘nostalgia for the past’, the memory of

a lost inner paradise. Narcissism combined

with a need for security, because he cannot

stand any psychological nor physical

ontradiction.

ALTERNATING CHARACTERISTICS

AND PERIODICITY: This is one of the best

indications for Tuberculinum and makes it an

excellent antipsoric drug. Has an

unstablemind, more towards the fringe, cannot

work for a long time, or do the same job, so is

often more artistically inclined or in arty

environment.

MOOD CHANGES: agg. morning, amel,

evening.

Activity: mood swings related to his activities;

sometimes ‘hyper’,trying to compensate for his

inertia.

SLEEP: too many thoughts, jerking in bed.

MUSIC: very sensitive to it or cannot stand if

it depressed.

MENTALS OF TUBERCULINUM GREGOIRE JoelleCahiers duGroupementHahnemannienP. Schmidt, 1989

CLIMATE: amel. sea;. medium-high

mountain; agg. high mountains (amel.1500m)

DISEASES: Evolution from ENT and lung

problems to deep mental disturbances.

PHYSICAL ASPECT: Tuberculinum (Koch).

Long, thin, weak, nourishes himself with

drugs, ideas, travel, creating an artifical

paradise.

TUBERCULINUM BOVINUM: delight more

in food, wine, etc. as a literal nourishment.

SEASONS: agg. winter and beginning of

spring

CHILD : Unstable, always agitated (Arg. nit.,

Aur., Med., More.); no tolerance for

restrictions, so is very irritable during medical

examination, intolerant of contact (Cham,

Cina, Sil ), lack of self-confidence. Anxiety

manifests in fear of dogs, his rage to he

compared with Bell., Hyos., Staph., Stram.,

Verat, but his underlying nature is sweet,

confusing it with Pul. Think of Tub. if Puls. is

only active in acute phases but not durable in

its action.

TEENAGER: rise of (1) running away from

home; (2) desire to travel; (3 drug addiction.

All this due to his search for the ‘ideal’.

When P. SCIMIDT suspected Tub. in

chronic ENT and lung problems, he asked:

How are the hands? (humid)

Which animals is he afraid of ? (dogs)

What does he do if scolded? (threatens)

*****

Causticum is often forgotten when

prescribing for children, and is often confused

with better known medicines such as

Lysopodium and Phsophorus. Causticum is not

exclustively for children suffering from severe

handicaps such as cystic fibrosis,

encephalopathy, or chromosomal

abnormalities, but also for common paediatric

pathologies such as glue ear, asthma and

eczema. Causticum is one of the polychrests

for children and, in Dr. J. Lamothe’s study, it

ranks 12th among constitutional perscribings.

After reviewing the homoeopathic preparation

of Causticum and its drug picture, the author

describes the main indications most often

found in a Causticum child:

- fearful, delayed walking, clumsiness.

-gentle, quiet, very sympathetic to other’s

suffering.

- very emotional. Easily frightened (noise,

dogs).

- crying at the least thing, but can be

sometimes bossy and tempered.

THE CAUSTICUM CHILD LAMOTHEJ. L’HOMOEOPATHIC Francaise, 77/1989

- worse by separation, change of way of life.

- ticklish.

- disturbed, restless sleep.

- emotional auffering.

- dysphonia. calarrh ++

- bowel and bladder training delayed,

constitpation.

- warts (nails), eczema (fissured).

- good appetite but losing weight, desire for

salt, dislikes sweets

- worse dry, cold weather.

Among the polychrests also prescribed for

children, Causticum can be compared with,

Lycopodium. Phosphorus, Silicea, Sulphur

Pulsatilla and Nux vomica.
