What the other books say about Terebinthina

The same remedy read by a different author. They disagree, and the disagreements are where the remedy becomes recognisable.

Terebinthina in Allen's Keynotes — The few symptoms that, when genuinely present, point at one remedy and not its neighbours.
Terebinthina in Farrington — Lectures that teach remedies in families, by comparing them with each other.
Terebinthina in Boger — A compressed key — the generals and the characteristic modalities, with very little narrative.
