What the other books say about Lac caninum
The same remedy read by a different author. They disagree, and the disagreements are where the remedy becomes recognisable.
- Lac caninum in Boericke — The concise clinical Materia Medica that most Indian colleges teach from, in full.
- Lac caninum in Allen's Keynotes — The few symptoms that, when genuinely present, point at one remedy and not its neighbours.
- Lac caninum in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
