Tresorie – COMMUNICATION [Communications -11]

13th April, 1953

Editor of The Recorder. Dear Dr.
Sutherland,.

I read always with much pleasure the
Recorder. In the discussion of a paper of Dr. Grimmer, Dr. Waffensmith
asserts that Hahnemann tells us in the Organon “that it takes five
years to overcome a drug suppression.” I am sorry to contradict my
distinguished Confrere. I have read the Organon only 30 times at least,
but have never been able to find this statement. But as nobody is
possessor of all knowledge I would be very pleased to ask my Confrere to
answer in the Recorder by giving the exact paragraph on which he refers in
the Organon about this question.

I have spent five years in translating
the 6th edition and have enjoyed immensely this work which so few know,
read and study.

I remain.

very truly yours,

DR. PIERRE SCHMIDT.
