SEVEN-HUNDRED

RED LINE SYMPTOMS

COWPERTHWAITE'S MATERIA MEDICA

 PREFACE

Because of the hundreds of symptoms of slight practical importance attacked to so

many remedies and which fill our Materia medica, the confusion which confronts one
in selecting a remedy, and on account of the numerous inquiries from physicians for
something more definite, I have had these so-called Red Line Symptoms rewritten.

So few physicians seem to realize that three or more of these symptoms under any
one drug found in a given case, is always a practical prescription. One or two
symptoms only found, would require further study.

As I consider them the foundation for anyone practising this system of Medicine, I
would suggest their being memorized and the booklet carried in the pocket for easy
reference.
