- The art of curing, founded on resemblances; the theory
and its practice that disease is cured (tuto, cito, et jucunde) by
remedies which produce on a healthy person effects similar to the
symptoms of the complaint under which the patient suffers, the remedies
being usually administered in minute doses. This system was founded by
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, and is opposed to allopathy, or heteropathy.
