Product Description
This is a combination of the 5th edition by Dudgeon (the 1893 revision) with the 6th edition by Boericke. Essentially, one can see the changes that Hahnemann made to the text of the 5th edition. An appendix outlines all the changes made from the first edition to 6th edition. It is a valuable study guide. Of all the published editions this remains the favourite, since it clearly shows the changes in Hahnemann's thinking as some paragraphs in the fifth edition were modified and others completely rewritten. This edition offers both versions interposed ('This paragraph was completely rewritten in the sixth...'). The combined fifth and sixth edition of "Organon" was typesetted around 100 years back. The modern reader finds it difficult to read and go through the book. For the past few years we were constantly requested by our beloved readers to redo this treasure in a manner which is consistent with modern books. To make the book user-friendly we have refurnished it.The positive changes we made are as follows: a new font has been used which is bigger in size and is a pleasure to read, and footnotes which were earlier given at the bottom and spread over different aphorisms were difficult to find and read. In this new book, we have incorporated them under the appropriate aphorisms at one place - this makes the reading and understanding of "Organon" more easy. A Word index has been added at the end of the book which makes it very easy to find the required portion of the text. ... Read more

oldie but goody
I'm a student of homeopathy and this is one of my textbooks, and so it is very good.

Organon of Medicine
Not for the beginner or intermediate. Overall it is a good book if a person has reached that point of a strong knowledge base in radionics and alternative healing.

Everything you need to know about homoeopathy in one book!
If you want to know how to practice homoeopathy, this is all you should need to read from the Founder himself. Forget Kent, Sankaran, Scholten, Sherr, Murphy, Hercu - this is the guy to read and learn from, Christian Samuel Hahnemann.
Every answer to every question you may have will be found in this book and if you intend to study homoeopathy, this should be the very first thing you read.

Not many people like the Boericke translation. I find it easier to read every year - yes, you should read it once a year (from cover to cover). Most prefer Kunzli or O'Reilly's editions, but I like Boericke.

This little edition published in India is great for keeping in your handbag and carrying with you to read and re-read at your leisure. If you want a reference edition, without so many editorial glitches, get an edition published in America or the UK.

Terrible Editing makes this unreadable
One is so completely distracted, confused, and frustrated by the poor editing of this B Jain Pub Pvt Ltd (April 19, 2002) edition of Hahnemann's Organon that it renders the text unreadable.I am going to re-order the book from another publisher.
