Author Description

Excerpt from Organon of the Specific Healing Art Ido not mean to say that systems have no value. We ought to look upon them as creations of a poetic ideality which are sometimes worthy of exciting our astonishment as works of art. Like brilliant stars, their object is to shed light on iso lated observations, in order to unite them in one harmonious whole, and to guide us safely through the labyrinth of doubt and hypotheses. Systems should guide us in our practice, and their correctness should be measured by the means which we derive from the true application of their principles.
