Preface:

In presenting this Manual to the Profession the aim has been to give them a practical volume on the Practice of Medicine.
In the description of the diseases the latest definite views of etiology and pathology have been given; and in the treatment, only those remedies are mentioned that have a definite relation to the disease treated of.
The symptoms of each remedy have been marked according to their estimated value; those put in Italics are "distinct and positive" symptoms; while those marked by an asterisk (*) are the recognized "characteristic," or "key-note" symptoms; and those left without a sign are the ordinary symptoms of the drug.
The standard works of both schools have been consulted in the preparation of this manual; and, the indications for the remedies are those accepted by the Homoeopathic medical profession generally as trustworthy and accurate.
