EACH REMEDY IS DESCRIBED UNDER A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT HEADINGS
1. SOURCE -- The Source gives the origin and nature of the remedy, whether plant, animal or mineral; and then a description of it and its ecology, not only with regard to the physical world, but also in myth, literature and history. Sometimes Dr Gibson draws a parallel between the external characteristics of the source material and the mental and physical symptoms that make up the drug picture of the remedy. He does this, not to suggest a causal relationship or philosophical principle, but because 'these parallels and correspondences are sufficiently numerous and striking to deserve mention, as well as being an aid to the understanding and memorising of the materia medica picture of each remedy.'
2. PHARMACOLOGY -- The gross chemical effects produced by the remedy in its natural state before potentisation.
3. PROVING -- A reference to the earliest published proving of the remedy.
4. The GENERAL PHYSICAL APPEARANCE is described, together with mannerisms, gait, etc. This section examines the fact that people of a certain build and temperament have been found to be sensitive to some remedies, and that they can respond well to those remedies in a clinical situation.
5. PSYCHOLOGY -- Covers the mental and emotional symptoms which form part of the remedy picture. These can range from traits of personality to symptoms of toxic psychosis.
6. PHYSIOLOGY -- Refers to general symptoms such as patterns of sleep, food likes and dislikes, reactions to climate, etc.
7. SYMPTOMATOLOGY -- Describes particular symptoms relating to the different systems of the body, listed in the order used by homoeopaths; Modalities are included here.
8. CLINICAL NOTES -- Details of dosage and treatment, relationships of remedies, and otherwise unclassifiable items of interest.
