These maladies were considered to be merely local, and therefore were called local maladies.
External maladies not caused by injuries of proportionate violence arise from internal causes and involve the entire organism.
The only local maladies to merit the name are very minor ones caused by an external injury of proportionate violence.

Making the first prescription for a one-sided disease.
In rare cases, a disease will be truly one-sided.

A one-sided disease may have either an internal or an external main symptom.
One-sided diseases chiefly belong to the chronic diseases.
A similar difficulty [to that of too-few proven medicines] arises when the disease to be cured has all-too-few symptoms.
Chronic non-venereal diseases may require several antipsoric remedies in succession.
In every case where an alteration of the disease state has proceeded, the stock of symptoms that still remain must be ascertained anew
Do not make a second prescription without re-examining the case.
