China officinalis — introduction · Margaret Lucy Tyler
healthy persons, then we find, on a consideration of the symptoms of China that this medicine is adapted for but few diseases, but that where it is accurately indicated, owing to the immense power of its action, one single, very small dose will often effect a marvellous cure.” Then Hahnemann defines Cure. ” I say cure, and by this I mean a ‘ recovery undisturbed by after sufferings.' ” " Have practitidnérs of the ordinary stamp another, to me unknown idea of what constitutes a cure ?... will they call cures the suppression by this drug of agues for which bark is unsuited ? I know that almost all periodic diseases, and almost all agues, even such as are not suited for China must be sup pressed and lose their periodic character by this powerful drug, administered usually in enormous and oft-repeated doses : but are the poor sufferers thereby really cured ? Has not their previous disease undergone a transformation into another and worse disease. . . .

See how oppressed is their breathing, how hard and distended is their epigastrium, how tensely swollen their loins, how miserable their appetite, how perverted their taste, how oppressed and painful their stomachs by all food, how undigested and abnormal their faecal evacuations, how anxious, dreamful, and unrefreshing their sleep !
