Homeopathy In Webster's Dictionary

\Ho*me*op"a*thy\, n. [Gr. ? likeness of condition or feeling; ? like (fr. ? same; cf. {Same}) + ? to suffer: cf. F. hom['e]opathie. See {Pathos}.] (Med.) 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.
