Q: A symptomatic treatment can’t be applied in cases where the same symptom is produced by two or three different diseases.

A: Why can’t it? There is a possibility that you can strike at the cure, whatever it be, through the symptoms and you can kill the root through the stalk and leaves and not start by searching for the roots and digging them out. That at any rate is what I do.
