Organon Of Medicine (5Th & 6Th Edition) With Word Index by ROBERT ELLIS DUDGEON, SAMUEL HAHNEMANN

A valuable study guide with a combination of 5th edition by Dr dudgeon interspersed  with 6th edition by Boericke which outlines all the changes made from the first edition. Essentially, one can see the changes that Hahnemann made to the text of the fifth edition. An appendix outlines all the changes made from the fifth to the sixth edition.

Of all the published editions this remains the favorite, since it clearly shows the changes, in Hahnemann’s thinking as some paragraphs in the fifth edition were modified and others completely rewritten. This edition offers both versions interposed. The combined fifth and sixth edition of Organon presently available in the market was type setted around 100 years back.

The modern reader finds it difficult to read and go through the book. So, here is the upgraded edition with added features-

– Footnotes are given under the appropriate aphorisms at one place unlike the earlier edition in which they were given at the bottom and spread over different aphorisms.

– Word index has been added at the end of the book which makes it very easy to find the required portion of the text.

It is hoped this new upgraded combined fifth and sixth edition of Organon will make the task of students and practitioners easier and much more interesting.
