Dose & Repetition of the Remedy

Organon Aphorism §257

The true physician will take care to avoid making favorite remedies of medicines, the employment of which he has, by chance, perhaps found often useful, and which he has had opportunities of using with good effect. If he do so, some remedies of rarer use, which would have been more homoeopathically suitable, consequently more serviceable, will often be neglected.
