Description:THE SCHEMA. The body of every homœopathic Materia Medica must consist of a Schematised list of the Symptoms belonging to each remedy. This is known, in brief, as "The Schema." In the Dictionary it comprises all that portion given under the heading, SYMPTOMS. Abridged Materia Medicas and lists of keynotes, though of very great value, cannot take the place of a full Schema. The prescriber is constantly requiring to know the exact symptoms produced or cured by a drug, and very often these are not to be found among the recognised keynotes. Again, when a prescriber has found his correspondence in some leading symptom, he may wish to test the correspondence in other particulars. For these purposes nothing short of a detailed list of symptoms in each section of the Schema is of any service, My work in no way lessens the value of the abridged works; on the contrary, it very greatly enhances it, by providing the necessary complement to their usefulness. The Schema arrangement adopted by Hahnemann was a necessary evolution of his method. Day-to-day records of provings, though of much interest, are of little use in practice, from the impossibility of finding individual symptoms in them. The Schema adopted by me is arranged under 27 numbered headings: 1, Mind; 2, Head (including sensorium and scalp); 3, Eyes; 4, Ears; 5, Nose; 6, Face; 7, Teeth; 8, Mouth; 9, Throat; 10, Appetite; 11, Stomach; 12, Abdomen; 13, Stool and Anus; 14, Urinary Organs; 15, Male Sexual Organs; 16, Female Sexual Organs; 17, Respiratory Organs; 18, Chest; 19, Heart; 20, Neck and Back; 21, Limbs (in general); 22, Upper Limbs; 23, Lower Limbs; 24, Generalities; 25, Skin; 26, Sleep; 27, Fever. The sources from which the Schema is compiled are mainly, Timothy Field Allen's Encyclopædia of Pure Materia Medica, and Constantine Hering's Guiding Symptoms. Without these two monumental works my work would have been scarcely possible. Allen includes all the symptoms of Hahnemann's Materia Medica Pura and Chronic Diseases, with all the later provings up to the date of his work's completion (1879). Hering's Guiding Symptoms includes, in addition to the chief symptoms of the older works, many clinical additions and glosses. Hale's New Remedies, 2nd and 5th editions, have rendered me services scarcely less important. In my Schema I have sometimes indicated when symptoms are of clinical origin but not always, as the distinction is more academical than practical. I have also sometimes inserted in the Schema names of diseases. These will be taken as clinical suggestions depending for their value on the appropriateness of the remedy in other respects. CLINICAL SYMPTOMS. In regard to the inclusion of Clinical Symptoms without always distinguishing them, my reasons are these: I know that symptoms removed by a remedy in a patient who is taking it are an indication of the remedy's power, even though the remedy may not have produced those symptoms in a prover. I know that many of the best indications we possess for different remedies were found out during the provings by the disappearance of symptoms from which the provers themselves were at the time suffering. I know that a remedy when being taken by a patient will often produce some new symptoms of its own whilst removing the others. I know that these new symptoms are available for practice; and what is more than this, I know that the practitioner who cannot recognise drug symptoms in his patients loses the best materia medica teacher he is ever likely to find, and will spoil many of his cases by supposing them worse when they are really doing well on the right medicine and only require to have the medicine suspended or partially antidoted. Those who have scruples about prescribing on clinically observed symptoms have the Cyclopedia of Drug Pathogenesy at their disposal.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
