Large doses of drugs which are homœopathic to a disease are far for more injurious than others which have no similarity or which have an opposite (antipathic) relation to the disease. In homœopathic practice, when the totality of the symptoms of a disease is similar to the symptoms of the remedy, it is certainly a crime to give doses that are not very small, indeed, as small as possible; if, under such circumstances, doses are given of the size administered in the old blundering way, they act as real poisons and are murderous . This I declare, convinced by a thousandfold experience, universally true of the exhibition of homœopathic remedies in general, and especially when the diseases in acute, but more particularly true of the use of Belladonna, Stramonium, and Hyoscyamus in hydrophobia, each according to its kind; let no one come to me and say, "A certain case has one of these three remedies, even in the strongest doses, and not too seldom, but every two or three hours and nevertheless the patient has died." Just so, I say from full conviction, just on this account has he died and thou hast killed him ; hadst thou administered the smallest portion of a drop of the fifteenth or thirtieth centesimal dilution of the juice of one of these herbs (in certain cases, a second dose after three or four days), then the patient would certainly have been saved. -Hahnemann.]

The mucous membrane partook to some extent of the same appearance as in scarlatina, 97.
