Calcarea phosphorica in Farrington — Lectures that teach remedies in families, by comparing them with each other.
Calcarea phosphorica in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
Calcarea phosphorica in Boger — A compressed key — the generals and the characteristic modalities, with very little narrative.
