This book by Dr. Choudhary is not a new book. It was published
for the first time in Bengali in 1973 and its English translation
became available in 1983. We decided to present a review to this
book as in the last few years there has been a revival of interest
in 50 Millecimal potencies and now a days more and more homeopaths
are using these potencies. Still there is lot of confusion regarding
these potencies and also there are very few texts available to guide
in this matter.
This book presents the whole history of LM scale, its necessity,
mode of preparation and administration etc in a very simple and
lucid manner. At each step, guidelines by Dr. Hahnemann have been
quoted to show the authenticity of the authors views. The author
also touches upon various general topics on homeopathic
philosophy such as the need for single medicine, the selection of
potency, and repetition of the medicine etc. Apart from these the
author also raises some controversial questions like application
of medicines by olfaction and massage, application of potencies
from higher to lower etc. These make the book interesting. At the
end the author has given two cases of Dr. Hahnemann treated with
LM potencies and also presents many of his own cases. Overall, a
very useful book.
