Some may object to my practice of giving several remedies in alternation or rotation and in quick succession. To such I would say, When you try this mode of practice and on comparing it with the opposite one of giving only one remedy, and that at long intervals between the doses, find my mode to be less successful than yours, _then_ it will be time for you to make your objections. _You_ may rely upon the vague hypotheses of the books, and give your high dilutions singly, at long intervals, and let your patients die for want of _real_ treatment, while I will use lower dilutions and give two or more remedies in quick succession and cure mine. I only speak what is in accordance with universal observation, where the two modes are compared on equal footing, when I affirm that, while the former _may_ effect some cures, _most_ of the recoveries under it, are spontaneous and unaided, the latter _does_ cure; the disease being arrested by the medicine, and the proportion of unfavorable terminations is much less under the latter than the former course. I know many learned and successful practitioners who have substituted low dilutions and the giving of several remedies in quick succession for the old mode of high attenuations and long intervals of single remedies, all of whom still adhere to the low, while I have yet to hear of the man who has gone _back_ to high single remedies and long intervals. My reason then, for the course here laid down, is, that it will _cure_ with more promptness and certainty. If others are so prejudiced as not to _try it_, they will still remain in ignorance of the _best practice_, and their patients will be the sufferers. In reference to the fear that is expressed that if one medicine is given too soon after another, it will antidote the former, I have simply to say, I have no confidence in the hypothetic antidotal powers of the medicines one over another, as laid down in the books. It has not been verified by experience, and has no foundation in truth. It is true that one medicine will remove morbid symptoms that might be produced by an overdose of another; but both being given in the ordinary medicinal doses, neither of them to such an extent as to produce sensible symptoms, if given alone, would not, if given in quick succession, prevent each other from acting to remove their own peculiar symptoms that exist in the system at the time. So if we have the symptoms that are found in two or more different remedies present in the same attack, as is often the ease, we may give these several remedies one after another, with confidence in their curative effects for the symptoms they represent. This has been my practice, and it has been _eminently successful_, and therefore I commend it to others, treating with pity the infirmity of those who ignorantly condemn it, as "They know not what they do."
