The
Materia
Medica
is
so
vast,
that
every
time
we
read
a
drug
from
any
our
books,
we
find
a
symptom
that
we
had
never
seen
before.
Allen’s
‘Keynotes
of
the
Leading
Remedies’
is
a
book
that
we
use
from
the
day
we
join
a
homeopathic
college,
and
it
continues
to
be
of
use,
years
after
one
graduates
and
settles
down
comfortably
with
a
successful
practice.
It
should
be
noted
however
that
the
‘Allen’s
Keynotes’
is
not
a
source
book
but
a
mere
compilation
from
other
books.
Hence,
to
understand
the
Materia Medica,
one
must
read
the
other
original
reference
works.
Here
are
a
few
symptoms
from
the
Allen’s
Keynotes.
Do
you
know
to
which
remedy
they
belong?
(A
new
set
of
symptoms
will
be
put
up
every
month).
