- Sabadilla in Allen's Keynotes — The few symptoms that, when genuinely present, point at one remedy and not its neighbours.
- Sabadilla in Farrington — Lectures that teach remedies in families, by comparing them with each other.
- Sabadilla in Kent — Kent teaching a class, one remedy at a time — fewer remedies, far more on each.
