KAFKA, J.

Die Homöopathische Therapie auf Grundlage der physiologischen Schule. Ein praktisches Handbuch für Aertzte, welche die homöopathische Heilmethode kennen lernen und am Krankenbette versuchen wollen.

xxvi, [2], 948 pp.; xv, 832 pp. Two vols. Large thick 8vo, cont. green morocco-backed green clothboards (a little dusty & foxed), spines gilt. [Vol. I]: Sondershausen: F.A. Eupel, 1865; [Vol. II]: Gotha: F.A. Eupel, 1869. First edition of one of the most important summaries of homoeopathic therapeutics of the time. Kafka was a physician in Prague and a member of the German association of homoeopathic doctors. In the present work, Kafka emphasizes the basic tenets of homoeopathy: that the cure of disease is effected by drugs that are capable of producing in a healthy individual symptoms similar to those of the disease to be treated, and that to ascertain the curative virtues of any drug it must be “proved” upon healthy persons — that is, taken by individuals of both sexes in a state of health in gradually increasing doses. Nice set. Scarce.
