More or less dissatisfaction with our Materia Medica exists on all sides. The fact that our remedies possess many symptoms and conditions in common, renders it a task of no small magnitude to elucidate in each instance those symptoms and conditions that are of the greatest importance and re- member them, and at the same time retain the general sphere of action of each drug. A practical, simple, and salient work is desired by many — a work that is truly practical and yet reliable in every detail. It has been my effort to furnish this. How well I have succeeded, will, of course, be quickly determined. The method of presentation of each remedy is in accord- ance with the most certain method of selecting the remedy, and not at variance with the instructions of our revered founder, when their full import is understood. I have included the remedies, at present used, of the Materia Medica Pura and Chronic Diseases, together with a brief explanation of the treatment of chronic diseases ; and have presented, in addition, a few more than one hundred remedies that have been introduced since Hahnemann's day — remedies that have stood the test of time and experience, and whose therapy is, consequently, sharply defined. In the compilation of the manuscript, especial acknowledgment is made to Hahne- mann's Materia Medica Pura and Chronic Diseases, Hull's Jahr, Symptomatology, Cowperthwaite's Text-Book of Materia Medica, Hughes' Pharmacodynamics, Heinigke's Pathoge- PREFACE. vi netic Outlines of Drugs, and Burt's Physiological Materia Medica. The manner of arrangement being new, it has been deemed advisable to insert an explanation : this is given in the following pages, under the title, " Instructions for Using this Work." In the hope that this little manual will meet the demand for a simple and salient presentation of the majority of our most important remedies, it is now submitted to the judg- ment of the profession. C. L. CLEVELAND. Cleveland, O., December 1, 1887. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS WORK, The failures which attend our efforts at applying the law of cure are often due to an improper interpretation of the relative value of symptoms. We know that the " temperaments," so termed, of the remedies are particularly important. In the arrangement of the remedies in this work, it will be seen that this word " temperament " includes all conditions of age, sex, con- stitution, hereditary or acquired diathesis or circumstances which render a person more susceptible to the action of a given remedy than another person under different conditions. In giving the location and nature of each drug, the structure or portion of the body affected is first named, then the general pathological condition stated, and following this, inclosed in parentheses, are the character- istic symptoms. The directions UDder the heading, " Adminis- tration," are not, of course, intended to be absolute. These di- rections are valuable in that they present the range of potency and the form of any given remedy, which reliable recorded clin- ical experience has demonstrated to be most effective. The re- maining headings are sufficiently clear. By studying drugs by means of these headings the salient features are fastened in the mind with comparative ease ; and a method of rapid and accurate prescribing is reached, because vague and undefined generalities, as well as confusing minutiae, which too often serve to obscure our efforts, are done away with. Suppose a patient before us, we note at a glance the " temperament ;" by comparatively few inquiries we learn the location and nature of abnormal sensations ; note objective symptoms, and immediately look for the cause of the vii INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS WORK. yiii condition for which we are consulted. This is the most direct and natural method of investigating a case, although in some acute cases, the " totality of symptoms " is presented to the mind without the necessity for scarcely an inquiry. Now, proceeding further, we can often learn by a few questions the "general characteristic " symptoms (those that are persistent — not sympa- thetic and fluctuating — and all the more important if they ante- date any established lesion or condition), and conclude our choice of the remedy by the modalities. This is the manner in which each drug is presented ; hence, the rapid and accurate com- parison of drug disease with natural disease which is hereby fur- nished. By referring to the " Clinical Index " it will be compara- tively easy to " individualize " in any disease by looking up each remedy indicated by the index. It is, of course, true that nothing can take the place of study of provings ; yet, while it is not intended that this work will do away with careful repertory work in cases where that is demanded, it is believed that this simple and direct method is within the ability of the average practitioner's memory, as only the most prominent and peculiar features of each remedy are presented.
