'A Study on Materia Medica' is a wonderful collection of lectures by Dr N.M. Choudhuri. The author has given a brief of all the drugs in a story format starting from its source description and then goes ahead to form a clinical picture and describes the personality in a beautiful way. The examples of cases given are also very good which give the practical aspect of the drug.
In the beginning of each drug are the notes on the drug which give the characteristic key features. The comparative study given is also in very simple language and gets absorbed as you read it. It's a must read for all students and an all time guide for practitioners. 'This treatise is the outcome of N.M. Choudhuri's lectures to students of Bengal Allen Homoeopathic Medical College of which he was the Principal. It incorporates the teachings and experience of many masters, supported by his own experience of twenty years.'
