Synoptic Key is one such classical text of homeopathic literature that has seen many ups and downs. Boger created this work after a detailed study of Kent’s and Boennighausen’s work.This book can be considered as a key to homeopathic Materia Medica. It is a wonderful book for bed-side prescriptions as well as for quick revision. In it you can easily see which remedy affects which specific part of the body.The book is divided into three parts:1) Repertory - The repertory is too instructive in its own way and many hints can be gathered from its unusual layout. It can also be applied as the "supplemental reference table".2) Materia Medica which is laid out in the physiological sphere of activities with modalities and relationships. This book gives out the general expression or genius of each remedy, thereby helping the prescriber to correct the manner of his practice.3) 3 AppendicesKey Features:-The revised corrected edition is closest to the original authentic version by Boger.Includes original Preface of 5th Edition.An introductory note by Norbert Winter delineates the utility and structure of the book making it easier for the readers to understand the practicality of this work.The original supplemental reference table has been maintained.Each remedy is presented in concise and clear words, at a glance the remedy and its sphere of action.The analysis portion is a handy repertory that can be of use to treat most of the bedside patients that we see in daily practice.This book is in a real sense a key to homeopathic Materia Medica.
