Kate and homeopathy

Subject: Kate and homeopathy

The title of Kate's video compilation _The Hair of the Hound_ is a variant
of the well-known phrase "the hair of the dog that bit him". This is defined 
in _Chambers_ (1983) as "a smaller dose of what ails one: _a homeopathic
remedy_"  (emphasis ours). More grist for the Kate and homeopathy debate?

ps _Chambers_ gives "him" but not "her"
