CONTENTS

TABLE OF REMEDIES.

In this table I have affixed to the remedies figures designating thedilutions or the attenuations, at which, under ordinary circumstances, Iwould advise their use. The strongest, or mother tinctures, marked withan apha (0), the dilutions or triturations to be of the decimal degreesof attenuation, are marked 1, 2, 3, &c., to designate that they are tobe used at 1-10th, 1-100th, 1-1000th, &c., the strength of the puredrugs.

The list for a full Family Case contains all the remedies recommended inthis book for diseases that may be safely trusted to unprofessionalhands.

The Traveler's Case needs only such medicines as are prescribed for thediseases which he would be most liable to contract on his journey;though I have put in the principal ones used in domestic practice, sothat the Case will do for family use.

The Cholera Case is only supplied with such remedies as are particularlyapplicable to that disease; useful, however, for many other complaints.
