“After the completion of my fortieth book I decided to hang my pen but destiny decided otherwise. Many of my readers wrote to me, as also asked me personally to write only those Symptoms of drugs, mostly useful for practice in day to day. As an old timer and believer of a complete picture of drugs, I expressed my dissatisfaction of an incomplete picture of drugs. But I expressed my dissatisfaction in doing it but ultimately I bowed down to their wishes remembering the advice of my mentor and guru late Dr M N Jaisoorya, MD that the first and foremost duty of each and every homeopath is to do all things which help for the spread of this Divine medical science. If this book helps to do so, I feel I have done something to fulfil the desire of that great man, who forsake his highest allopathic medical degree from Germany and converted himself to this system of medicine which he thought is more suited to a developing country like ours. I pray to God that this book will receive the same patronage from the fraternity of Homoeopaths as before.” — Dr P Rajagopalarao
