SCHWACKE, PHILADELPHIA. TO HIS FORMER PUPIL AND ASSISTANT DR. CHAS. G. RAUE, FOR SEVEN YEARS HIS COLLEAGUE AS PROFESSOR IN THE HAHNEMANN COLLEGE, OF PHILADELPHIA, AND FOREVER HIS TRUE FRIEND, This Book is Dedicated. CONSTANTINE HERING. PREFACE. In presenting this work before the profession, the author wishes it to be understood that it is not with any desire to have such condensed work supersede the study and use of the more complete Materia Medica ; nor is it on account of any supposed incorrectness or unreliability of the original works of Hahnemann, for these, after nearly three-fourths of a cen- tury of daily searching scrutiny, must be accepted as bearing the imprint of being wrought by a master mind — almost intu- itive perception having guided in the work. The real object in preparing this work, has been to give in a condensed form, to the student of Homoeopathy, such abso- lutely necessary material, as would enable him, in a compara- tively short time, to gain knowledge of such important leading symptoms and conditions as are characteristic of each remedy — knowledge which is imperatively necessary for every- day practice. The large and more complete works present by their size, if by nought else, great obstacles to the rapid acquirement of a practical knowledge of the genius of each remedy. In order to overcome this, efforts have been made in the past to condense the material of the larger works, giving what appeared strange or characteristic, even though not veri- fied. Clinical experience only can verify beyond peradventure symptoms obtained through provings ; this we are gaining daily, and profiting thereby. Year by year we have been enabled, through such experience, to separate good wheat (vii) PREFACE. viii from among the tares, until we have now garnered at least a fair percentage of good wheat — and the harvest season is not yet over. The material for this work has been culled from the manu- script and other material collected for a much larger work on verified and important symptoms, viz., " Guiding Symptoms," now in process of completion, on which many years of careful research have been bestowed. Objection will be made, that only one hundred and eighty - four remedies are herein given, while many more are in daily use by our School. To this we reply, that this work is in- tended as a text-book, a manual, not as a complete Materia Medica ; and though it was desirable to condense, it was also necessary to give the really useful symptoms sufficiently com- plete to make up the picture of each remedy so as to be prac- tically useful, thus making it impossible to give more remedies, without so increasing the bulk as to render the book unsuited to its purpose. Regarding the arrangement of symptoms, it will be found to correspond to that used in the "Analytical Therapeutics," for full explanation, see introduction to the same. This arrangement requires a division of each remedy into forty-eight chapters — thus, J Mind and disposition ; this con- tains all mental states. 2 Sensorium, embracing oversensitive- ness and irritability of brain and senses ; vertigo; dullness, etc. 3 Inner head, pains, etc. 4 Outer head, giving symptoms of bones, periosteum, skin and hair ; also motions and positions of head. 5 Sight and eyes. 6 Hearing and ears. 7 Smell and nose. 8 Face, including expression, etc. 9 Lower jaw, outer mouth, chin, and sub-maxillary glands. 10 Teeth and gums. 11 Taste, talking and tongue. 12 Inner mouth. 13 Palate and ix PREFACE. » throat. 14 Desire for food and drink. 15 Effects of food and drink. 16 Gastric symptoms. 17 Epigastric region. 18 Hypo- chondria. 19 Abdomen. 20 Eectum and anus, including emis- sion of flatus, stools, hemorrhoids. 21 Urinary organs and urine. 22 Male functions and organs. 23 Female organs. 24 Pregnancy and parturition, including mammae ; also infants at the breast. 25 Voice and larynx. 2, 32.
