SHOULDDO THISINWRITING.

40.  Physiological rank, according to the organs affected or the functions
altered, is more worthy
 Pathological and therapeutical rank order are of greatest importance

41.  As a rule for arranging the symptoms of the sick. Aetiological
peculiarities have alwaysa very high rank
 In allchronic and lingering cases the symptoms appearing last
even though they may appear insignificant, important for
selection of a remedy

 Pathological names nearest to the case may be considerd atlast

42.  In zymotic Take the most characteristic symptoms
◦ Atthe invasion.
◦ Atthe heightof the disease.
◦ Lastlyduring thedecline of thedisease,that is,during the recovery.
 These three points have to be "covered" by the characteristics of
the drug. We may find in this waya preventive/"prophylactic,"
medicine. If it cannot prevent altogether, willmake all cases
lighter and more readily curable.

43.  Hering says we give names to secure the identityand
adoptthe most popular name by preference, rather
than the chemicalor botanical name,as it is frequently
liableto change
