    FOREWORD

    It is a great pleasure for me to write a foreword to this book on Materia Medica.


    Since Hahnemann's time, qufte a large number of books have been written on the
    subject. The question which is often asked is what is the need for so many books on Materia
    Medica. Many argue that it leads only to confusion worse confounded. The Homoeopathic
    Materia Medica at its best is only a compilation. But if we study closely the different works
    on Materia Medica by master prescrtbers, we immediately become conscious of the imprint of
    the powerful personality of the author. Let us for example, take Kent, Farrington and Nash
    and study their books. They differ so much in their style, presentation and emphasis on certain
    aspect of the various drugs that one feels that these books supplement each other and do not
    exclude each other.
    Dr. S. K. Dubey too, has something especial and unique of his own to offer to the
    profession in bringing out his book on this\subject. On going through the book, one becomes
    immediately conscious of the vast labour undertaken by him, in compiling this Materia Medica
    from various sources in his own style. His rich experience in teaching Materia Medica to the
    students for the last so many years has1 stoocKhim in good stead in preparing this book. No
    author of Homoeopathic Materia Medica can produce the right-kind of a book without the
    background of a proper practical experience.
    Apart from it, the author has kept in mind\|he real difficulties of students. This book
    will make a valuable addition to the text books on Materia Medica. He has, at places, taken
    the risk of repeating the symptoms but that appears to have been done purposely, so that a
    proper emphasis is laid on certain symptoms and the students would have these symptoms
    fixed in their mind. He has avoided giving merely me pathological conditions, but has
    everywhere pointed out the individualising symptoms which could distinguish a pathological
    state found in other remedies which might be indicated in this condition.
    Inspite of his best efforts, there are still many things which could have been put in a
    better form or incorporated, but no book on this subject can ever be perfect, particularly so,
    on the first attempt. I am sure that the -author will continue to strive in making the subsequent
    editions still more useful.
    I hope that both the profession and the students will welcome this book and be
    benefitted from the labours of Dr. S. K. Dubey. No student can afford to flee without a copy
    of this book.
