The majority of those who consult a homoeopathic physician have gone the rounds of the old school doctors or have endeavored to cure themselves with patent medicines or even homoeopathic remedies before seeking his advice. However much the physician may know of the materia medica, however proficient he may be in the art of prescribing the remedy and the manner of its repetition, if he wishes to make genuine homoeopathic cures, he should familiarize himself with every least detail of the instructions given in this paper and in the writings of the old masters of our School.
