Excerpt from The Characteristics of the New Remedies
In writing the first and second editions of this work, it seemed to me necessary, or, at least, important, that all that was known relative to the medicines therein mentioned, should be given, because the hom?opathic school at that time was quite unacquainted with nearly all of them.
I therefore gave the botanical description, natural history, medical history, chemical analysis, and method of preparation of each remedy, together with many other observations.
Provings were also given in full, and the clinical cases published as they were reported to me by various physicians.
In writing this third edition, I have, after due consideration, omitted the descriptions, history, etc., of the remedies, as well as the voluminous provings and reports of cases and have given only those symptoms which I believe to be peculiar and characteristic, or have been verified by new provings, or clinical experience. I have also added over eighty medicines to those contained in the second edition, and have treated them in the same manner as I have the older remedies, namely: - condensed the provings, clinical experience, etc., into the smallest compass compatible with their value. The former editions contained only indigenous vegetable remedies. This contains agents from all parts of the world, and from the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.
