Hering, Dr. Carroll Dunham and Dr. Ad. Lippe. While the last two volumes are indices to the rest of them, the first ten volumes unfailingly portray a total of 1039 homeopathic remedies with symptoms collected from three sources in order for this book to be as complete as possible. These sources include- Experiments made upon healthy individuals for the purpose of noting the effects of drugs, Effects observed after poisonous doses (accidentally or maliciously administered) and the Symptoms (Cautiously admitted) observed in the sick after the administration of the drug. It took Dr Allen 10 years to compile all the volumes of this book with the sole aim to supply a complete and accurate record of the positive effects of drugs upon the healthy human organism.
