What the other books say about Cina

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

Cina in Boericke — The concise clinical Materia Medica that most Indian colleges teach from, in full.
Cina in Allen's Keynotes — The few symptoms that, when genuinely present, point at one remedy and not its neighbours.
Cina in Farrington — Lectures that teach remedies in families, by comparing them with each other.
Cina in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
