We all know that reading and memorizing the Materia Medica is a must for homeopathic practice but how often are we able to do that? Not always!

So as to make Materia Medica simple and easily referable Lippe here presents a compiled work on keynotes of homeopathic drugs. Infact, these are the symptoms we need to be abreast with, to have a successful prescription and hence successful results. The author also puts beyond the red line, the chains of more symptoms leading to correct diagnosis, in a particular characteristic combination.

There is also a mention of the modalities and relationship to make our study more complete and easy to analyse.

Adolph Lippe (1812-1888) was one of the first graduates of homeopathy in America. Lippe taught alongside Constantine Hering at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia and wrote several very influential books which are still standard textbooks today for modern homeopaths. Lippe also translated many important homeopathic texts, thus enriching American homeopathy. Lippe was a founding member of the International Hahnemannian Association and he was a colleague of James Tyler Kent, Henry Newell Guernsey, Carroll Dunham and many other famous homeopaths. His pioneering contributions will always be remembered.

The name and fame of the world-renowned Homoeopath, Dr. Adolph von Lippe needs no introduction to the Homoeopathic Fraternity. With our claim on their appreciation, we now present before them the author’s masterpiece, "Key Notes of the Materia Medica," adding thereto the characteristic symptoms of the most important remedies under the style, " Red Line Symptoms," gleaned from the author’s writings, appearing in several old foreign journals, together with the other important ones, collected from the writings of the great Homeopaths of the by-gone days.

The book with these additions is in no sense a treatise now, and must not be considered as such. Each sterling symptom in the context other than that of Dr. Lippe has the name of its author indicated against it in abbreviatory form. The book is now as accurate and reliable a compilation and the fullest collection of the most common remedies as it is possible to obtain within its compass.

It may be claimed that the book supplements every other work on the subject, and if used as a ready reminder of the common important facts of our vast Materia Medica, it will fulfil its purpose and prove the greatest aid to the profession and students alike.
