It is the best translation of the sixth edition of the Organon der Heilkunst. The comprehensive text is divided into chapters and sections along with side-headings and editorial footnotes which provide focus for our thoughts.This translation is as comprehensible and accessible as possible.It conveys more of Hahnemann s meaning than ever before preserving the primary sense of his words.The Glossary has definitions of medical terms used in the Organon as well as translation notes on specific words which will enable readers to understand what Hahnemann meant instead of guessing the exact English word for the German word.A synopsis of paragraphs (aphorisms) is served as the table of contents.The names of medicines and medicinal substances, whether Latin or common, appear in roman type and not italics since Hahnemann used the common and the Latin names both in reference to unpotentized substances as well as to potentized medicines.This translation and adaptation of the Organon has been prepared with care and precision and it throws light on our high mission of restoring the sick to health
