2 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION S ince my student life up to this 30 years of my practice, I have gone through many books on Materia Medica and others, written by foreign and Indian authors, but a difficulty is always felt for want of such a book which contains the important Key-points of remedies, without including many others in an exhaustive way which may not be generally required to select a remedy, as it is very difficult to remember everything of huge number of medicines found in our Materia Medica, and those puzzle our memory also. Thus, the main features and guiding symptoms of each remedy have been carefully presented and sometimes repeated also, just to engrave those into memory, despite many others of less importance, in order to avoid the bulkness of the book and for easy selection of the right remedy. My endeavour is to collect those Key-points and to write an easy book for learning the remedies in an interesting method, so that it may comprise a favourite handbook for students and busy practitioners a like, for quick revision just to remember the main features of at least 345 very useful remedies of this book. One chapter, in the appendix, showing difference of clumsy interlinked symptoms of related remedies has been added. Another chapter on chronic miasm, without which, chronic cases are very difficult to deal with, has also been clearly detailed. My diligence will be successful if this work is welcomed and found useful by followers of this divine method of treatment. For ready reference, another chapter of therapeutic hints on some commonly found diseases, are also added. Then, I can not but express my hearty greetings to my friends, relatives and some respectable doctors, Sri Jitendra Nath Mukherji v Homoeopathic Materia Medica

3 Sri Paritosh Bhattacharya, Sri Narayan Chandra Ghosh Dastider, Sri Pramode Behari Sengupta, etc. who encouraged me time to time to start and complete this critical and huge preparation of Materia Medica. This book is an assemble of important findings of Dr. Nath, Boericke, Kent, Lilienthal, Barker, Hering, Jhar, Younan, Cowperthweit, Bell, Burnet, Allen, Farrington, M.L. Sarkar and other renowned doctors, topmost Hahnemann and many cured cases of the author himself, for the benefit of students and leaners of the divine Homoeo-doctrine in an easier and interesting method. As the first edition of any big volume, is very difficult, any printing or other mistakes may please be condoned, which will be corrected and rectified in subsequent editions. Lastly, I would like to welcome healthy criticism and suggestions from professors, practitioners and students about this book and the method or state of presenting a drug, so that, it may be included, if found worth while, in subsequent editions.
