Synopsis This is a welcome and highly useful addition. The 'Makeup' section of each remedy is the best part and should be carefully read by all in order to have the drug's important features stamped on the reader's mind. The readers will find much novel information, clinical tips, etc. in this book. The printing is good, does not strain the eye and the price is reasonable. This is a book worth keeping in the library of all Homoeopaths." The Select Materia Medica is embarked upon with the modest objective of imparting more and more confidence in our remedies and the only way to achieve this is through exploiting the remedies to their utmost limit, so as to draw as much as possible of the incurables within the hold of curable and achieving the palliation in ideal incurables as per the standardization of application of the law of similars. It is undertaken to meet the (grave) challenges of today, to yoke our medicines the more and more difficult cases (of which there is a flood) unfaced by our forebears of yesterday. A materia medica has a past, present and a future too. 'Past' is represented in Provings the data-base, 'present' in therapeutics and clinical verifications and 'future' in the suggestions for new directions in which the remedies can be turned to use. This aspect is necessary to keep our remedies abreast of the times and needs. An attempt has been made here in this direction with the hope that our successors will develop this aspect still further so that our system will not lag behind and fight shy of the then challenges. This work is mainly contributed by Dr. Tarkas who is, unfortunately, no more with us. But as people say "homoeopaths never die", so will Dr. Tarkas who will always enlighten our path towards healing through this book.
