Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Text Book of Materia Medica
This work was originally prepared for the use of those attending the Lectures on the Materia Medica, in the Homoeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, and at their request.
It contains the characteristic and most prominent special symptoms of the best proved and most used of our Medicines.
The distinction of symptoms, as the result of provings on the healthy (pathogenetic, ) or as the result of clinical observations on the sick (cura ti've, ) or as belonging to both these classes, has not been retained m this work. Such distinctions belong exclusively to the complete Materia Medica, the study of which the present Text-book is intended to facilitate, not to supersede. And to a more thorough and satisfactory study and knowledge of Materia Medica than has been general of late years, it is sincerely hoped that this book may prove both an introduction and a guide.
