PREFACE. 
 
 The life-work of the student of the homoeopathic 
 Materia Medica ie one of constant comparison and dif- 
 ferentiation. Ee muBl compare the pal -f a 
 remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient; 
 he musl differentiate the apparently Bimilar symptoms 
 of two or more medicinal agents in order to seled the 
 similimum. To enable the student or practitioner to 
 do this correctly and rapidly he must have as a hasis 
 for comparison some knowledge of the individuality of 
 the remedy; something thai ie peculiar, uncommon) or 
 sufficiently characteristic in the confirmed pathog 
 of a polychresl remedy that may be used as a pivotal 
 point of comparison. It may be a so-called "k< 
 note," a "characteristic," the "red Btrand of the 
 rope," any central modality or principle — as the 
 gravation from motion n\' Bryonia, the amelioration 
 from motion of Rhus, the furious, vicious delirium of 
 Belladonna or the apathetic indifference of Phosphoric 
 acid — sonic familiar landmark around which the symp- 
 toms may be arranged in the mind for comparison. 
 
 Something of this kind seems indispensable to ena- 
 ble us to intelligently and successfully use our volu-

IV PREFACE. 
 
 minous symptomatology. Also, it* we may judge from 
 the small number of homoeopathic physicians who 
 rely on the single remedy in practice, and the almost 
 constant demand for a "revision" of the Materia 
 Medica, its study in the past, as well as at present, has 
 not been altogether satisfactory to the majority. 
 
 An attempt to render the student's task less dif- 
 ficult, to simplify its study, to make it both interesting 
 and useful, to place its mastery within the reach of 
 every intelligent man or woman in the profession, is 
 the apology for the addition of another monograph to 
 <>ur present works of reference. 
 
 It is all-important that the first step in the study of 
 homoeopathic therapeutics be correctly taken, for the 
 pathway is then more direct and the view more com- 
 prehensive. The object of this work is to aid the 
 student to master that which is guiding and character- 
 ise in the individuality of each remedy and thus 
 utilize more readily the symptomatology of the homoe- 
 opathic Materia Medica, the most comprehensive and 
 practical work for the cure of the sick ever given the 
 medical profession. It is the result of years of study 
 indent, practitioner and teacher, and is published 
 at the earnest solicitation of many alumni of Hering 
 ( 'ollege, with the hope that it may be of as much bene- 
 fit to the beginner as it has been to the compiler.

 Leading Remedies. 
 
 Y( omti;. 
 
 I- generally indicated in acute or recenl 
 earring in young persoi _irl> of a full, 
 
 plethoric habit who lead a Bedentary lii 
 easily affected by atmospheric ch 
 
 Complaints caused by exposure to cold, dry north 
 or west winds, or exposure to draughts of cold air 
 while in a perspiration; bad effects of checked | 
 spiration. 
 
 Great fear and anxiety of mind, with great ner 
 excitability; afraid t into a crowd 
 
 where there is any excitement or many people; 
 cross the street

 Tains are intolerable, they drive him crazy; he be- 
 comes very restless.

ACONITE— (Omtinued). 
 
 Hahnemann Bays: " Whenever Aconite is chosen 
 homeopathically, you must, above all, observe the 
 moral symptoms, and be careful that it closely resem- 
 bles them: die anguish of mind and body; the rest- 
 Lessness; the disquiet not to be allayed/ 3 
 
 Tins mental anxiety, worry, fear accompanies the 
 most trivial ailment. 
 
 Music is unbearable, makes her sad (Sab. — during 
 menses, Xat. e.). 
 
 On rising from a recumbent position the red face 
 becomes deathly pale, or he becomes faint or giddy 
 and falls, and he fears to rise again ; often accompanied 
 by vanishing of sight and unconsciousness. 
 
 Amenorrhcea in plethoric young girls; after fright, 
 to prevent suppression of menses. 
 
 Aconite should never be given simply to control the 
 fever, never alternated with other drugs for that pur- 
 pose. If it be a case requiring Aconite no other drug 
 is needed ; Aconite will cure the case. 
 
 Unless indicated by the exciting cause, is nearly 
 always injurious in first stages of typhoid fever.

 portable ; in a warm room ; when rising from bed ;

 Relation. — Complementary to Cofiea in fever, sleep- 
 lessness, intolerance of pain; to Arnica in traumatism.

 Aconite is the acute of Sulphur, and both precedes 
 and follows it in aeute inflammatory conditions. 
 
 Abuse of Aconite requires Sulphur.
