The perpetual challenge of all students of homoeopathy, whether beginner or experienced, is the overwhelming volume of detailed symptoms in our Material Medicas. We constantly strive to simplify the information, to sort out the clinically useful from the non-distinguishing and general symptoms, to grasp in a single picture the essential features of the remedy. Compounding this difficulty is the fact that most of our sources belong toanother era in time, the rapid changes and unique pressures of modern society have brought froth new facets of our remedies, and even well known symptoms are expressed in a modern idiom which obscures their relationship to the material in older texts. This task of separating the truly essential from the common place and adapting the form to present day expression, has been approached by Roger Morrison with characteristic dedication.
