This is a "must have" book on classical homoeopathy for anyone studying the subject. The very first book I purchased on homoeopathy. First written in 1945, Dr. Dorothy Shepherd, tells of her experiences during W.W.I with surgery, and in her own practice and how she had used homoeopathic remedies. She covers first aid treatment of such topics as treatment of wounds, hemorrhage, burns, scalds, aches and pains. She also discusses potency and give specific "rules" for giving a remedy. She has written several other wonderfully informative books, however, this one I consider a must have.

It just happened that I'd been reading the first chapter of this book which mentioned

arnica for stroke when my dear friend ended up in the hospital with one. I took him the

arnica (it was found in the bedding) and there was a bit of a hassle...so I faxed the

proper pages (9/10) to the doctor and it was allowed and approved. The good news, my

friend recovered beautifully.

This alone was worth the small price of this book.

Even if you are not a student of homeopathy (it will get you excited)...the book is

excellent and helpful.

I've turned to it many times.

Highly recommended!

A very complete book written at a time when antibiotics were not the norm. I appreciate the candor, the openness and frankness the author uses -- also some of the language is amusing. I appreciate what this female Dr. had to go through during a time in history that was very tough, and all the case histories she gathered to make this book outstanding. Much insite gained. Good reference.

Excellent case stories of homeopathic usage. I have bought 2 copies. One to keep and one to lend out. I recommend this as a good basic starter as I have used homeopathics for over 40 years. This book is one my most used references. In the use of Arnica, I have watched a person going into shock from a machinery accident. When given a dose of Arnica I saw that person come out of shock. I have had a similar experience after having cut my finger on a table saw. I happened to see this for sale as a Kindle and downloaded it immediately for my lap top.
