1911. The homeopathic remedies in this book, especially the tinctures, are from John Uri Lloyd, the author of another fascinating book we publish, "Etidorhpa or the End of the Earth." Professor Lloyd has done more to make converts for the Eclectic School of Medicine that any man in it.

Arcane homeopathic text,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice (Paperback)
Definite Medication: Containing Therapeutic Facts Gleaned from Forty Years Practice, by Eli G. Jones, was purchased because we had a dying cat, and wanted to try homeopathic support, as the regular vet had given up. The book, a reprint of a 1911 medical text, uses so many arcane abbreviations and references that it was virtually unusable, except perhaps to a medical practitioner, who might be familiar with the terms, or able to convert grains to contemporary measurements. Since I use homeopathy regularly (no, I am not a medical professional - I use it for my immediate family, and chiefly to supplement regular medical treatment), I thought it was worth a try, but it proved beyond my skill level. I eventually went with a homeopathic vet, who tried a succession of remedies, but none availed.
I found Jones's book to have some use for me as a quick Repertory: that is, to find one's symptoms, and see what remedies are worth further investigation. Once I have only, say, 5-8 remedies to research, then I'll use a Materia Medica to study the various remedies. I usually use Margaret Tyler's Homeopathic Drug Pictures to get started, then Vermeulen's Concordant Materia Medica to read more in detail, and finally T.F. Allen's Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica if I suspect I have a peculiar symptom that appears infrequently. So, Jones's book has some utility for a non-medical person. However, there are many other works available that are far more accessible for home use. If I had to pick only one, it would unquestionably be E. B. Nash's Leaders in Homeopathic Therapeutics.
