The book was written by one of the largest homeopaths of the second half of the 19th century. Dr. James Compton Burnett (1840-1901). Released almost 120 years ago, it is of great interest today. In an easy and accessible form, Burnetto talks about the history of his transition to homeopathy, gives successful examples from his practice, shares his views on allopathy and homeopathy, and thoughts about the place of the latter medicine. Although the book is addressed to a wide range of readers, even experienced homeopaths will find a lot of interesting things in it, especially with regard to the use of drugs rarely found in practice.
