epeated but we heard some months that he still had
a few sores and was still searching for a miracle.

A year half later a ringworm about the size of a
fifty cent piece appeared on the face. It was
surrounded by smaller ones, the whole in strikingly
circular arrangement. They were much aggravated
by all the applications that had been attempted.
We think of Echinacea in very irregular
eruptions but the 1M of Calc. carb wiped out this
also.
XIII Miss of 23, Goitre 2 years. The gland was
moderately but distressingly enlarged and not hard.
She was always tired, which was aggravated by
even moderate exercise, tired expression, always
sleepy, fantastic dreams, talking and striking during
sleep. Headaches in left temple beginning in mid
afternoon and relieved by open air and by cold
applications. Easily excited and irritable and the

excited. Cough while asleep only; canine appetite;

and distress in epigastrium; eructations of rotten
egg flavor; menses five weeks apart and protracted;
heat is exhausting; palms perspire when excited.

4. The Value of Old Symptoms
BAUR, Jacques (HH. 29, 2/2004)
(Translated from the Groupement
Hahnemannien de Lyon, 11 th series, No. 5,
1974)
When the Little Prince said goodbye to the Fox
the latter told him a secret. “The most important
thing,” he confided, “is invisible to the eyes. Men
have forgotten this truth.”
That is a fact. If men have not exactly
forgotten this truth, many of them accept it more
than they really know it. And yet, is there any
domain of human activity, religious, philosophical,
or scientific, that is not concerned with
investigating the invisible?
Medicine, which is the study and the science of
man, is no exception to this rule. How many times
haven’t we heard it said that the most important
thing about man is not what one finds in his coffin!
Because if we study living man in his illnesses and
in his physiological balance, it is life itself which
concerns us, and not the passing form which it
borrows in order to manifest itself. In that invisible
side of things which escapes all our efforts to
understand it, the philosopher seeks the causes of
all concrete, material, tangible manifestation; the
mystic sees it as the seat of the soul; the doctor,
who may be scientifically, mystically, or
philosophically inclined, seeks in the invisible that
which is infinitely small, vibrations of the vital
force, emotions and thoughts.
More than any other medical doctrine
Homœopathy pursues this study, this search after
the invisible in human beings. In the profusion of
modern medical doctrines which only recognize
manifestations of life that are accessible to the
sensory organs of the observer, only Homœopathy
has established its foundations on principles and
laws, feeling that these non-visible phenomena are
in essence nearer to truth than the simple data of the
sensory world. Perhaps we may accept this
statement in theory without fully realizing all its
implications. Although we agree on proclaiming
the fundamental errors on which the medical
theories of the Allopathy school are founded, we
are nevertheless not above using their terminology
