Homoeopathic literature in a vast treasure which is filled with all kinds of gem-stones and crystals. Though all of these are valuable and precious, some are very popular these days while others have been forgotten by most of us. Lectures on Clinical Materia Medica (with gist of each lecture) by E.A. Farrington, M.D. is a sincere effort towards the revamping of the old book. Clinical Materia Medica by Farrington is a gem which many popular Homoeopaths use and employ daily to become great Homoeopaths (but like typical Homoeopaths they will not tell others). Though it is a very nicely written book, it is not as popular as Kentâ€™s Lectures on Materia Medica. In fact unlike Kentâ€™s book there are no repetitions and it is very lucid as compared to lectures by Kent. This new book will be a boon to every aspiring as well as experienced homoeopath who desires to deliver best to the suffering humanity. No tempering has been done with the lectures. Gist has been added as a value-added feature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR E.A. Farrington

Farrington, a protege of Hering, died at the early age of in 1885. This edition was edited by Lilienthal and is comprised of Farrington's lectures to his class at ahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia that were eported phonographically." The material is presented in "family" order. A lecture on Spiders - The Arachnida; A lecture on the Compositae (Arnica, Artemisia, Millefolium, etc); the Umbelliferae; The acids; The Ammonium preparations, etc. In the 72 transcribed lectures, he discusses the topic and then compares the remedies to others - a comparative materia medica. The lecture on Halogens includes a part about Spongia - as it is rich in iodine and shares many symptoms of that group. With the current trend to looking at the "families" of remedies, it is interesting to reexamine this work and see that there is notmuch new, buta lotto be re-discovered.
