I may just point out one bye – product of the study of homoeopathy in this country. It is not probably generally known that about sixty – five years ago, one Dr. J.N. Ghosh compiled an English to Bengali Dictionary of medical terms containing about seven thousand words.
The Bengali medium of instruction has been adopted by the homoeopathic schools and colleges for the last thirty or forty years, long before it was even thought of in our general educational institutions. The number of medical books published in Bengali is now considerable and forms a substantial contribution to Bengali scientific literature in general and to the medical vocabulary in particular.
The theory of homoeopathy is not quite so static as it is commonly imagined. The number of medicines in the modern homoeopathic materia medica is about eight times what it was in Hahnemanns time. Homoeopathy is a progressive subject, though perhaps the progress is not quite comparable to that of other branches of knowledge.
