HWC Group Organon aphorism §26 This depends on the following homeopathic law of nature which was sometimes, indeed, vaguely surmised but not hitherto fully recognized, and to which is due every real cure that has ever taken place: A WEAKER DYNAMIC AFFECTION IS PERMANENTLY EXTINGUISHED IN THE LIVING ORGANISM BY A STRONGER ONE, IF THE LATTER (WHILST DIFFERING IN KIND) IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FORMER IN ITS MANIFESTATIONS.(14) Organon aphorism §26 footnt Thus are cured both physical affections and moral maladies. How is it that in the early dawn the brilliant Jupiter vanishes from the gaze of the beholder? By a stronger very similar power acting on his optic nerve, the brightness of approaching day!—In situations replete with foetid odors, wherewith is it usual to soothe effectually the offended olfactory nerves? With snuff, that affects the sense of smell in a similar but stronger manner! No music, no sugared cake, which act on the nerves of other senses, can cure this olfactory disgust. How does the soldier cunningly stifle the piteous cries of him who runs the gauntlet from the ears of the compassionate bystanders? By the shrill notes of the fife commingled with the roll of the noisy drum! And the distant roar of the enemy's cannon that inspires his army with fear? By the loud boom of the big drum!

The injurious consequences of too great joy will be removed by drinking coffee, which produces an excessively joyous state of mind. Aphorism §27 if time ~Show #59
