The publisher:
A quarter of a Century in use is a very fair test for any practical work, and this A Dictionary of Practical Materia Medica has stood so well that publishers have decided to issue it in a form and at a price which should put it within the reach of all practitioners and students of Homoeopathy.

- A pulling together of Allen's Encyclopedia, Hering's Guiding Symptoms, and Haie's Remedies.
- The clinical uses of the remedies are discussed, cases are given as examples of use, and then the remedy symptoms are listed using the Hahnemann Schema.
- If one needed just a single materia medica, this set might serve the purpose.

The first volume was issued in 1900. Volumes 2 and 3 were completed in 1902.
