Okay, this is not exactly a book one finishes in one reading, but a useful reference book. Of particular interest to the homeopath are the discussions of remedy sequencing and potency. One might quibble with some of the recommendations (in my experience homeopaths enjoy debate) but overall this is a very helpful and well written work for those interested in alternative medical modalities.
"Homeopaths must be disciples of Sherlock Holmes. As this master detective said, 'That which is out of the common is usually a guide rather than a hindrance, & that which seemingly confuses the case is the very thing that furnishes the clue to its solution.'"
"The old homeopaths used to say that the child born in vice has within it the germ of vicious impulse which nothing but the Grace of God, homeopathic treatment & time can eradicate. They were fond of quoting the Gospel according to St. Luke, the physician: 'For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit, nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.'"
