BEST AND MOST USEFUL BOOKS FOR REFERENCE. I am teaching and practicing homoeopathy for over forty-two years. I make use of the following reference works alone.
1. Calvin B. Knerr's REPERTORY
2. KENT'S REPERTORY
3. BOERICKE'S MAT.MEDICA & REPERTORY
4. The Accoucheur's Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling [If you have not heard of this book, it is not my mistake. Read the Preface and Introduction of this month once a month]
5. WILKINSON'S MATERIA MEDICA
6. HOMOEPATHIC THERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal. Hundsred times worth its weight in gold!
The following cured cases with the help of Yingling's Emergency Manual should open the eyes of all homoeopaths:
Case: I once visited an old friend of mine in Delhi and in the house his pregnant daughter was sitting shedding tears. Upon inquiry the mother told me that the next day was delivery date and the doctors said that she was very weak and so wouldn’t be able to develop any labor pain; therefore, caesarean alone was to be done.
Yingling was referred to. On page 231 we find the following:
Weak, patient too weak to develop normal pains: Caul., Mur-ac.
Since Muriatic acid has more weakness I started putting questions to the patient.
A characteristic symptom in Muriatic acid is “Mouth and anus chiefly affected.” [See Boericke’s Materia Medica.]
I asked her whether she was having soreness or any complaint in mouth and to this she replied in the affirmative. I further asked if she had similar complaint in her anus and she confirmed this too. I went to a nearby homoeo drug store, bought one dram pills of Muriatic Acid 200 (they did not have this remedy above the 200th potency) and asked the patient to take one pill every four hours. (Had 10M potency been available then, I would have given that. For example, if you want to give a dose of 10M and if that potency is not available you may give 200th or 1M potency every 4-8 hours, three doses only. Three doses of 200 or 1M would act like a single dose of 10M.)
Within minutes of taking a dose of Muriatic Acid-200 she developed labor pains; was rushed to hospital and upon entering she took another dose. Within half-an-hour it was normal and safe delivery. I have to quote another cured case here.
Case: A pregnant lady in a village went to a town (where her sister lived) for delivery. The doctors in a nursing home after examining her, declined to admit her because instead of descending, the uterus was in an upward position. She was then taken to the Govt. hospital. Upon examining her, even they said that it was a major surgery and since the senior surgeon was not available they would not admit her. She came home weeping. When I heard this I wanted to find out if homoeopathy can help her and so turned to Yingling. On page 229 we find the following:
Upward, uterus seems to go: Cimic.
I gave her Cimicifuga(Actaearecemosa)-10M, one single dose. Within minutes she felt the uterus coming down to its normal position; and also developed labor pains: so, was rushed to the hospital. This time, upon examining her, the attending doctor said that everything was normal and so admitted her and it was a safe and normal delivery!
Does the reader need any further or better justification for having a copy of Yingling?
Every homoeopath should read at least once a month, the Preface and Introduction in the Accoucheur’s Emergency Manual by Dr. W. A. Yingling. [Copy of this book can be had from the author by sending Rs.380=00 by money order only.]
