	Doctrine of signatures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The major usage is a doctrine that the Creator had so set his mark upon Creation, that by careful observation one could find all right doctrine represented (see the detailed application to the Passionflower) and even learn the uses of a plant from some aspect of its form or place of growing.
		The doctrine of signatures was given renewed thrust in the writings of the Swiss physician Paracelsus von Hohenheim (1493-1541) and continued to be embraced until the 17th century.
		The doctrine of signatures was expounded in mainstream medical texts into the 19th century and has remained a working principle of homeopathic medicine.

	WLJ - Narrow fraud-in-the-inducement exception adopted
		The economic loss doctrine bars tort claims for fraud in the inducement of a contract, but only when the fraud is interwoven with the contract, in that it involved matters for which risks and responsibilities were addressed, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held on June 3.
		The majority opinion first held that the economic loss doctrine does bar tort claims for fraud in the inducement of a contract, but only where the fraud is "interwoven with the contract, and not extraneous to it," adopting the reasoning of a Michigan Court of Appeals case, Huron Tool and Engineering Co. v.
		The economic loss doctrine serves three purposes: to maintain the fundamental distinction between tort law and contract law; to protect commercial parties' freedom to allocate economic risk by contract; and to encourage the party best situated to assess the risk of economic loss, the commercial purchaser, to assume, allocate, or insure against that risk.

	Essay on the Doctrine of Signatures
		Signatures also convey properties of plants relegated to the Occult, and the so-called Occult (much of which can be explained by science) which science need only assume are challenging, not impossible, nor forbidden, to explain, and proceed towards investigation.
		The prevelance of the Dandelion is one example of a possible prevelance Signature; when a plant occurs with this level of tenacity and commonality, Signatures imply it is because the plant has a contribution to make with an urgency proportionate the the insistence of the plant.
		Thus the Doctrine of Signatures not only strongly implies that we will neither be successful in the eradication of invasive plants, nor will we want to be, until we either effectively utilize the plant material in question, or recognize the statement it is trying to make, or both.

		The doctrine of signatures is the ancient notion that the Creator had given clues to which plants should be used to treat which illnesses by shaping the plants to resemble the organs or conditions they should be used to treat.
		It is likely that many valuable herbs were in use before the doctrine and that the organ - plant match was made later to accommodate and validate the doctrine.
