. I w Is FIRST LESSONS IN THE SYMPTOMATOLOGY OF LEADING HOMCEOPATHIC REMEDIES. BY H.-R.' ARNDT, M. D. PHILADELPHIA. BOERICKE & TAFEL. I904. COPYRIGHTED BY BOERICKE & TAFEL. I904. Preface. The little volume now presented to a long-suffering profession is merely a collection of symptoms, pathogenic and clinical, with which a student should become familiar by recitations in the class-room before he enters seriously upon the study of the homceopathic materia medica. The perfect memorizing of these symptoms should constitute the materia medica work of the freshman year; this accomplished, the sophomore will enter upon more advanced study prepared to assimilate the better and to classify the more correctly additional and more important facts presented to him in the lecture-room. By carrying this plan into the third and fourth year of the course-reiterating, adding, enlarging, explaining-the young graduate, thus instructed, will be better qualified for the selection of the indicated remedy than is the average graduate of to-day.,The brief outline, at the top of each remedy, of its sphere of usefulness in the sick-room is almost sure to interest and aid the beginner. The " regional index " is prepared for quizzing, ready reference and comparative study on part of those who desire to do thorough work. H. R. ARNDT.
