Disease & the Vital Force

Organon Aphorism §14

There is, in the interior of man, nothing morbid that is curable and no invisible morbid alteration that is curable which does not make itself known to the accurately observing physician by means of morbid signs and symptoms – an arrangement in perfect conformity with the infinite goodness of the all-wise Preserver of human life.

Samuel Hahnemann, Organon of Medicine, 6th edition, translated by William Boericke (1922, public domain). Checked word for word against the 1922 printing in October 2026.

Note on the text: The 1922 printing reads “no visible morbid alteration”. The earlier English translations (Dudgeon, 1849; Wesselhoeft, 1879) read “invisible”, as shown here. Under review.

Study notes for this aphorism are not published yet. They appear here once a homeopath has reviewed them.
