EDITOR’S NOTE
Working on “Allen’s Keynotes” is not less than a reward for me. It was
not only a part of my student life, but it has an important place in my practice
and teaching also, because of its preciseness and comprehensiveness. Like
“Geetasar” in Hindu religion, Allen’s Keynotes provides a bundle of
knowledge in a few words.
It is Dr. Allen’s attempt to render the student’s task less difficult, to
simplify the study of materia medica, to make it both interesting and useful,
to place its mastery within the reach of every homoeopathic professional. It is
really a great contribution to the field of homoeopathy and worthy of
appreciation.
In the ninth edition, a good attempt was made to re-arrange the randomly
placed symptoms in a logical sequence but still the task was not fullfilled.
Some symptoms were placed haphazardly or unnecessarily under different
small headings like teeth, tongue, bones, glands, perineum, child, elderly, etc.

Some symptoms were placed haphazardly or unnecessarily under different
small headings like teeth, tongue, bones, glands, perineum, child, elderly, etc.
A thorough reading is given to the book and following Dr. Hering’s “The
Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica”, these symptoms are placed
under their appropriate headings at the some time avoiding numerous small
conventional headings for better understanding.
Keeping in mind the feelings and aim of Dr. Allen, the symptoms are
unaltered in substance and the language remains unchanged.
Symptoms like desire, aversion, appetite, thirst, sweat, sleep, dreams,
general modalities, side, general symptoms which affect the body as a whole
e.g. susceptibilities, oversensitiveness, prostration, exhaustion, fainting,
physical factors, pains, discharges, 
hemorrhages, bones, glands, marasmus,
etc., are placed under a common heading of physical generals.
There are a few symptoms / disease conditions related to more than one

I hope this little effort will make the task of students or readers much
more easier and interesting.
I express my heartfelt thanks to my wife Dr. Geetika Rai, for her
assistance and encouragement to complete this work in the shortest possible
time period.
I am thankful to Mr. Kuldeep Jain of M/s B. Jain Publishers (P) Ltd., for

Finally I am grateful to God and my parents for their blessings.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE
“Allen’s Keynotes” is one of the most popular and widely read materia
medicas. The reason for its popularity being, its preciseness and
comprehensiveness.
Keeping in view, its usefulness for the students and practitioners of
homoeopathy, the ninth edition has been brought out with certain changes.
In the previous editions, the symptoms do not conform to any order and
are randomly placed. They also do not follow each other in a logical
sequence.
In this edition, all the symptoms belonging to one organ or organs having
a similar and related function, are grouped together, so as to facilitate a
deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of a drug and the genesis of a
symptom.
For e.g., fecal vomiting is normally listed under the heading, stomach.
But the primary cause of fecal vomiting is, intestinal obstruction. Hence,
instead of using the conventional headings stomach, abdomen, rectum, stool,
used frequently in various materia medicas, the heading 
gastro-intestinal


key: chroma:document
string_value:

system
 has been used. This is because all the organs of the 
GIT
 are related, as
they serve a common function, albiet in different stages.
Also some of the abbreviations used in the previous editions were
outdated and pointed to more than one remedies. All the abbreviations used
in this edition are standardized according to the SYNTHESIS REPERTORY.
The symptoms are unaltered in substance and the language remains
unchanged. The difference between this edition and the previous editions is
that the symptoms have been re-arranged and they now follow each other in a

logical sequence, so that no symptom is lost to the reader even on casual
reading.
The fact remains that Dr. Allen had left an indestructible monument of
the homoeopathic materia medica, one that is true to its science and
immensely useful to anyone who consults it.

PREFACE TO SIXTH EDITION
What applied to former editions applies to this. The fact that a sixth is

PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION
The first edition of this book was only about half the size of the second,
as it was prepared somewhat hastily for a special purpose, but Dr. Allen took
his time in the second edition, and gave the world a well rounded out and
complete standard book on the homoeopathic materia medica. We do not
mean that the first edition was faulty as to its matter, for it was used
unchanged in the later edition, but it did not embrace a sufficient number of
remedies. As Dr. Allen died before a third edition was needed we concluded
to bring it out unchanged. It is a masterpiece of materia medica work; its

remedies. As Dr. Allen died before a third edition was needed we concluded
to bring it out unchanged. It is a masterpiece of materia medica work; its
symptomatology is made up of the unchanging landmarks of our remedies
that are in constant use; it is, in short, a book that needs no revision.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION


key: chroma:document
string_value:
In preparing the second edition for the press the work has been enlarged
and practically rewritten. Many more remedies have been included and
symptoms and comparisons extended, yet care has been taken that every
symptom has been verified. The original plan has been maintained, viz.: to
give only those symptom—guides that mark the individuality of the remedy,
that the student of materia medica may use them as landmarks to master the
genius of the remedial agent.
At the suggestion of the publishers and in response to numerous enquiries
a more extended symptomatology of the nosodes has been included, for these
invaluable additions to our armamentarium, like the so-called tissue remedies
of Schüessler, only need more extensive provings to place them in the list of
polychrests.
That the student may acquire the correct pronunciation of our remedial
agents, an alphabetical list of remedies with the accentuation is given for a

of terms peculiar to his profession. An index of remedies and comparisons is
also included.
H.C. Allen
PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
The life-work of the student of the homoeopathic materia medica is one
of constant comparison and differentiation. He must compare the
pathogenesis of a remedy with the recorded anamnesis of the patient; he must
differentiate the apparently similar symptoms of two or more medicinal
agents in order to select the simillimum. To enable the student or practitioner
to do this correctly and rapidly he must have as a basis for comparison some
knowledge of the 
individuality
 of the remedy; something that is 
peculiar,
uncommon,
 or sufficiently 
characteristic
 in the confirmed pathogenesis of a

string_value:
knowledge of the 
individuality
 of the remedy; something that is 
peculiar,
uncommon,
 or sufficiently 
characteristic
 in the confirmed pathogenesis of a
polychrest remedy that may be used as a pivotal point of comparison. It may
be a so-called “keynote,” a “characteristic,” the “red strand of the rope,” and

central modality or principle—as the aggravation from motion of 
Bryonia,
the amelioration from motion of 
Rhus tox.,
 the furious, vicious delirium of
Belladonna
 or the apathetic indifference of 
Phosphoricum acidum—
 some
familiar landmark around which the symptoms may be arranged in the mind
for comparison.
Something of this kind seems indispensable to enable us to intelligently
and successfully use our voluminous symptomatology. Also, if we may judge
from the small number of homoeopathic physicians who rely on the single
remedy in practice, and the almost constant demand for a “revision” of the
materia medica, its study in the past, as well as at present, has not been
altogether satisfactory to the majority.
An attempt to render the student’s task less difficult, to simplify its study,
to make it both interesting and useful, to place its mastery within the reach of
every intelligent man or woman in the profession, is the apology for the

string_value:
to make it both interesting and useful, to place its mastery within the reach of
every intelligent man or woman in the profession, is the apology for the
addition of another monograph to our present works of reference.
It is all-important that the first step in the study of homoeopathic
therapeutics be correctly taken, for the pathway is then more direct and the
view more comprehensive. The object of this work is to aid the student to
master that which is guiding and characteristic in the individuality of each
remedy and thus utilize more readily the symptomatology of the
homoeopathic materia medica, the most comprehensive and practical work
for the cure of the sick ever given to the medical profession. It is the result of
years of study as a student, practitioner and teacher, and is published at the
earnest solicitation of many alumni of Hering College, with the hope that it
may be of as much benefit to the beginner as it has been to the compiler.
