In 1851 Breitkopf & Härtel published the solo piano work Grosses Concert-Solo by Franz Liszt. Though not as popular as the later B Minor Piano Sonata by the same composer, the work achieves significance by the fact that it anticipates the Sonata as a large scale nonprogrammatic work. It shows structural similarities to the Sonata and obvious thematic relationship to both the Sonata and the Faust Symphony. Several unpublished earlier versions of the work exist under various titles. These versions ...

Homeopathy:
derived from the Greek word homoios meaning similar and pathos meaning suffering, homeopathy is an alternative medical system that treats the symptoms of a disease with minute doses of a natural substance or remedy. In larger doses, the remedy would produce the same symptoms as the disease or disorder that is being treated.

HOMEOPATHY: The word homeopathy derives from the Greek word homoios, meaning "similar," and pathos, meaning "suffering." Homeopathic remedies are generally dilutions of natural substances from plants, minerals, and animals. Bases on the principle of "like cures like," these remedies specifically match different symptom patterns or "profiles" of illness, and act to stimulate the body's natural healing response.

Allopathy
Modern medicine as distinguished from the traditional homeopathy.
 
The term "allopathy" was invented by German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843). He conjoined allos "opposite" and pathos "suffering" as a referent to harsh medical practices of his era which included bleeding, purging, vomiting and the administration of highly toxic drugs. Physicians attempted to correct symptoms by treating them with "opposites. " For instance, fever is treated by attempting to "cool" the patient.

The prefix Con ...
