About Book
The job of a homeopathic student while studying and applying materia medica is to constantly compare and differentiate. He must compare the pathogenesis of a remedy with the registered anamnesis of the patient; he must distinguish the apparently similar symptoms of two more medicines to select the simillium. In order for the student or practitioner to be able to do this correctly, the student must have the correct knowledge of the specificity of the remedy; something peculiar, unusual, or sufficiently characteristic in the polychrest remedy that can be used as a central point of comparison.
