The art of “Classical Homoeopathy” can be learned, by yourself, on your own, in your own study, And to this end this book is written,

“Classical Homoeopathy” is the term used to denote the art of Homoeopathy as Dr, Samuel Hahnemann intended this science to be worked with. The science of Homoeopathy has to do with prescribing for the sick individual with his peculiar features of a disease.

To enable the student to learn rapidly, to facilitate his studies and to find the required books without error and loss of energy or money I have given the titles of these books, that are both necessary and indispensable. Therefore, I have considered it necessary to introduce you to the literature that is important for self-study and how to go about studying it, I have given practical hints on office procedures and taking the anamnesis, two aspects, that are missing in most books on Homoeopathy, The practical work and application of Homoeopathy is learned in the best way through cases. Therefore, this aspect has the most space in this book, I have

endeavoured to show clean and correct working habits to find the similimum. Both, the repertorisation and the treatment of the patient, are shown in detail for the understanding of the student.

When you begin to learn Homoeopathy, remember this : When the best student hears about the way, he practices it assiduously.

When the average student hears about the way

It seems to him, one moment, to be there and gone the next.

When the worst student hears about the way

He laughs out loud.

If he did not laugh

It would not be worthy of being the way.
