Burt. William H. Burt, MD (1836-1897) proved around 30 remedies and contributed immensely to our materia medica and literature.

Key Features:-

  • Indicates how much quantity of the drug is to be taken to produce certain results and what are its characteristic therapeutics.
  • To make understanding every medicine in the book simple, a specific pattern is followed throughout.
  • Condensing the experiences of Guernsey, Hering et al, the author lists the 'characteristic symptoms' of both well-known and little used remedies.
  • An extensive work on the physiological action of the drugs, meeting with the demand of both the student as well as the practitioner.
