Dr. Fellger said it was absurd to claim that any disease could be cured by its nosode, for after potentizing the nosode, we cannot be satisfied that it is in the same condition as when first taken from the diseased individual. Thus the syphilitic poison is composed of molecules : the molecules of atoms. When the poison is potentized the essential character of the molecules is undoubtedly lost, and hence it is not the same substance any longer. Therefore, there can be no certainty that the potentized preparation is the same poison. But if, for argument, we allow that the molecules of the poison can be potentized without change of character, we still are not relieved of the dilemma, for primary syphilis in any one person will make a different set of symptoms from syphilis in another person. The variations are endless. Hence, we must then have a potentization of each one of these different kinds of syphilis, which would be impossible. Mercury is a staple substance, always unchanged ; it might then be expected to produce identical sets of symptoms on any number of the most different people. Yet its action is different upon every person to whom it is given. How much more, then, must be the individual variations in the case of the poison of syphilis, and if Mercury requires so many different remedies to antidote it, how much more, then, must syphilis need a variety of remedies to treat it. It is folly, then, to expect to treat symptoms with its nosode, and the folly is the more apparent when we realize that the character of this nosode is essentially changed in the process of potentizing. The only way, therefore, to use a nosode is to prove it on the healthy, like any other drug, and note its symptoms in the regular way.
