Description

Excerpt from Supplement to Malcolm and Moss' Regional and Comparative Materia Medica: A Very Convenient Arrangement of the Most Characteristic Symptoms of Four Hundred and Twelve Homoeopathic Remedies, as Given by Hahnemann, Hering, Guernsey, Hale, Hoyne, Hughes, Jones, Burt, and Two Hundred Other Homoeopathic Physicians In Malcolm and Moss' Regional and Comparative Materia Medica. We be lieve we have improved upon the old arrangement, and the improvement is one that will assist the physician in more rapidly finding the symptoms of his patient. We have not only grouped the similar symptoms of each remedy, as in the old ar rangement, but we have grouped the similar symptoms of all the remedies. If the first step in grouping, taken by Hahnemann, was good, the second step must be equally good. If it was a good arrangement to group the similar symptoms of each remedy, it must also be a good thing to group the similar symptoms of all remedies. In the old arrangement the remedies are placed in alphabetical order, and the action of each remedy is given upon all parts of the human body, in one place, and the symptoms of all the remedies are given on the same plan. Now, suppose the doctor has a case of eye disease, and suppose he looks it up in The Guiding Symptoms, a work of ten volumes. He will be obliged to consult all those vol umes, and all those remedies from A to 2. He must look up what each remedy has about the eyes, or if he misses one it may be the one he should prescribe. It is similar with all other diseases. It will take hours to do this, and hence it will not be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
