Tricia Allen, a qualified homeopath, offers a host of practical advice on how to treat illness using natural, homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy differs from conventional medicine in that it does not only alleviate the individual symptoms of an illness, but treats the underlying state to ensure that the disease does not return, something which rarely occurs when using traditional remedies. This guide gives advice on what homeopathy is and how to use it; each stage of childhood and how to deal with the complaints that occur at that time of a child's development; the most common childhood illnesses; how to take your own steps to treating them; which homeopathic remedies to use; and when to seek medical help and first aid.

Excerpt from Therapeutic Key, or Practical Guide for the Homeopathic Treatment of Acute Diseases HE preface to this little volume may be written in a few words. It first made its appearance in 1871, and now, in the autumn of 1876, has reached its Third Edition. During this brief period over five thousand copies have been distributed among the members of the Profession. A new edition is again called for, in order to correct and improve the work before again committing it to the press; and to this end we have labored to replace all doubtful by new and more cer tain materials, and to so blend and incorporate the additions as not to materially increase its size. This has been accomplished, in a great part, by increasing the length of the pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
