Publisher's Synopsis
This book tries to answer such questions as: what remedies should you keep for the emergencies of general practice?, how does the homoeopath treat pain?, what can homoepathy offer for gastroenteritis or the common cold, or for virus infection in general?, and how do you distinguish between the remedies? The author covers a wide variety of the complaints and disorders that are commonly seen in general practice, with detailed guidance on their treatment by homoeopathy.;He then studies a number of major groups of related remedies, analyzing the characteristics they have in common and those that differentiate between them.;Dr Douglas Borland presented the material in this book as a course to doctors at the London Homoeopathic Hospital during the 1930s. It has been edited for publication now by Dr Kathleen Priestman, who attended the course at the beginning of her medical career. The book is published because Dr Borland's homoeopathic insight remains important today. Wherever current medical practice has moved on since his day, notably in the availability of antibiotics and the development of modern surgical techniques, the text has been edited to take this into account.
