Samuel Hahnemann, Chronic diseases, 1835
„In cases, where the physician is certain as to the homoeo- pathic specific to be used, the first attenuated dose may also be dissolved in about 8 loths water (4½ ounces, a/n) by stirring it, and one-third may be drunk at once, and the second and third portions on the following days ... Thereby the remedy seeing to take a deeper hold on the organism and hasten the restoration ...”

Clemens Maria von Boenninghausen (1785 -1864)
“...Baron von Boenninghausen has internalised my homoeopathic teachings to such a degree that … if I myself were ill and could not help myself I would not entrust myself to any other doctor in the world but him.”

Georg Heinrich Gottlieb Jahr (1800 -1875)
“… The pathognomic-diagnostic signs are … often of extremely variable value for us in all cases, where due to a lack of characteristic signs we have to at least keep to some signs...The pathognomic-diagnostic signs therefore more or less reduce the circle of those remedies among which the choice remains uncertain, and for the clinic, this is truly of very great use.”
G.H.G. Jahr: Lehren und Grundsätze, 1856, p. 297
