Preface:

"An Essential Guide to Bedside Remedies" is no more in Cyclostyled Form, which was first published in cyclostyled form (First Edition published in 1981). Now a printed book (Second Edition revised also) - a form which the Juniors/seniors Homoeopathic physicians as also the common-men who are interested in Homoeopathic treatment were on the look out for since long. Dr. C. Saha's 'Bedside Remedies' is a standard book on the subject. It is undoubtedly an accurate and faithful representation on Homoeopathic Materia Medica. The book has been written keeping in view the over-all needs of the junior/senior students, general Homoeopathic practitioners and the way of necessity of subject the author has made here will enable them to understand the topics properly, I feel. I hope that this book will be of great help to the practitioners/students in easily grasping the subject as well in solving the problems in their practice in course of their visit to the bedside of sick persons for selecting the accurate remedies. In the case of layman, the book may guide him to apply at least a first-aid treatment till he gets a physician's attention. It is a book that no household should be without.

I would add here that several books on medical science written by the author of this book, Dr. C. SAHA, are already published in printed form and those are in circulation with rich popularity.

In spite of best care and attention some mistakes may have crept in for which I feel really sorry. Any suggestion from the readers of this book will be thankfully accepted and considered with great respect for improvement of this book in the editions to follow.'

Dr. B. Saha
