    This document discusses three aphorisms about understanding the medicinal power of drugs. Aphorism 19 defines disease as an alteration in health and explains that medicines have the power to alter a person's state of health, both curing disease and potentially causing disease. Aphorism 20 introduces drug proving, where potentized drugs are administered to healthy individuals to observe their effects and document any symptoms - this allows observation of a drug's disease-producing powers. Aphorism 21 concludes that a drug's disease-curing powers can only reliably be understood through drug proving experiments on healthy individuals.

    Knowledge of Medicinal Power (Aphorism 19-21)

    This is the doctrinal indication of need of drug proving and i.e. why also
    known as the blue print of drug proving.

    Aphorism 19– Need of drug proving / Definition of disease


    Disease is an alteration in the state of health.

    HEALTH Deviation DISEASE

    Any influence (mental, emotional, physical etc.) which affect


    human health.

    acts on diseased
    MEDICINE HEALTH
    state

    Dynamic in nature
    Medicine produces changes. This power of altering man’s state of
    health is the medicine disease curing power.

    Inference – The disease curing power is disease producing


    power.
    Aphorism 20- To know the disease curative power or
    pathogenetic power of drug.

    DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURE A phenomena of


    administering the potentised
    Based on their chemical,
    drugs internally and the effect
    physical, morphological
    of which are noted down on
    nature and empirical healthy human being of
    characters. different constitution of both
    sexes in different age groups.

    NOT RECOMMENDED

    i.e. disease producing power

    1. Disease curing power lies within the medicine which cures the
    disease.
    2. Spirit like power because of its dynamicity.
    3. What we see in the drug is the curing power, what we see in
    human beings are the symptoms.
    Aphorism 21

    With the study of above two aphorisms, now this inconvertible truth is
    clear that, medicines disease curing power can only be known through a
    peculiar phenomena i.e. Drug Proving.
    And no other means is the reliable source for knowing the disease
    curative power.
