Five Materia Medicas now in the public domain, reproduced in full and readable without an account. They disagree with each other, and that is the point: Boericke tells you what a remedy does, Kent tells you what it is like, Allen tells you what separates it from the remedy beside it. Learning to read them together is most of learning Materia Medica.
