FIRST LESSONs
SYMPTOMATOLOGY
LEADING HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES.

Preface.
The little volume now presented to a long-suffering
profession is merely a collection of symptoms, pathogenic
and clinical, with which a student should become familiar
by recitations in the class-room before he enters seriously
upon the study of the homoeopathic materia medica. The
perfect memorizing of these symptoms should constitute
the materia medica work of the freshman year; this ac-
complished, the sophomore will enter upon more advanced
study prepared to assimilate the better and to classify the
more correctly additional and more important facts pre-
sented to him in the lecture-room. By carrying this plan
into the third and fourth year of the course—reiterating,
adding, enlarging, explaining—the young graduate, thus
instructed, will be better qualified for the selection of the
indicated remedy than is the average graduate of to-day.
“The brief outline, at the top of each remedy, of its
sphere of usefulness in the sick-room is almost sure to in-
terest and aid the beginner.
The “regional index” is prepared for quizzing, ready
reference and comparative study on part of those who
desire to do thorough work.
