Note 15 — Chapter VI · HOMŒOPATHY.[14]
Reading edition
Dynamic is a word of Greek derivation, meaning simply powerful. Hahneman’s ‘dynamic power’ then, learned as it sounds to vulgar ears, in plain English, is powerful power. It reminds me of a patient, who in her fondness for expletives always spoke of her weakness as a debilitated weakness.
Hahneman seems to have been fond of words derived from the Greek, and those, too, of no Homœopathic size. Hence such words as Allopath, Homœopath, Heterogeneity, Pharmaco-dynamics, &c.
