By Dr. Margaret Lucy Tyler. (1857 — 1943)

Introduction: WE all know the joy of seeing sicknesses of definite symptoms yield, almost miraculously, to the remedy of like symptoms.

We thrill to the triumphs of Homoeopathy in Cholera — in Dysentery — in Ptomaine poisonings — in Pneumonias — in Broncho-pneumonias — in hundreds of conditions, trivial and severe.

And then we all come across cases which, after apparent yielding to the seemingly indicated remedy, recur : — do less well : — finally cease to respond.

Why is this ?

This was also Hahnemann's experience. But that indomitable Pioneer did not merely shrug bis shoulders, and dub them, " Old Chronics ! " Neither did he accept the suggestion of his followers that " perhaps not enough remedies had been discovered and proved to cover all cases of disease " . ... This he says he " rejected, as a mere subterfuge."

But — he stuck to his guns ! " In^. spite of failures in the case of some chronic non-venereal diseases, the Doctrine of Similars has been, and ever will be, founded on the unshaken pillars of truth. Facts have confirmed its excellence — yea — if this may be said of human things, its infallibility."

" Why, then," he asks, " should the continued homoeopathic treatment of the non-venereal chronic diseases have been so unsuccessful ? Why should Homoeopathy have failed in thousands of cases to cure thoroughly and forever such chronic ailments ? "

For ten years he toiled night and day to discover the reason why the homoeopathic remedies, then known, did not effect a true cure of the above-named chronic diseases, before (fearing that his discoveries might die with him) he " communicated to two of his most deserving disciples, for their own benefit and that of their patients, the most important of his discoveries relative to the nature and treatment of Chronic Diseases."

He tells us (Org. Par. 77) that, by Chronic Diseases, he does not mean those from constant exposure to unavoidable noxious influences ; — habitual indulgence in excesses in eating and drinking : — tbe constant want of the necessaries of life : — unhealthy dwellings ; — or those from want of fresh air and exercise ; — from over-taxed mind and body ; — from continued mortifications and troubles. " All these," he says, " will vanish of their own accord under improved conditions . . . provided that there is no chronic miasm pervading the organism. They do not deserve the name of chronic diseases."
