An outline of Organon of Medicine for Students

This outline was prepared by Julian Winston for the students of the Wellington College of  Homeopathy. It was printed in the USA in Homeopathy Today. It was taken from the 5th edition, translated by Dudgeon (1893), with additions (where needed) by Boericke (1922) from the 6th edition, and cross referenced with the Kunzli translation of the 6th.

When substantial changes were made between the 5th edition of 1833 and the 6th edition  of 1842, the 5th will be in italic type and the 6th will be in plain type. An asterisk ( *) indicates a footnote well worth reading.
