GLEANINGS BY ' ' HI R. H. LUTZE, M. D., BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. (Reprinted from The Homceopathic Physician for 1893 and 1894.) PHILADELPHIA: 1 The Homceopathic Physician, 1231 Locust Street. 1894. GLEANINGS. F. H. Lutze, M. D., Brooklyn, N. Y. During the past few years I have made it a practice to copy whatever peculiar symptoms I saw in the journals and place them in my Repertory or Materia Medica, where I could readily refer to them when I wished to do so. On looking them over lately I thought the collection valuable enough to offer them to the profession in general, and the result is before you. It would have been a pleasure to give with each symptom the name of the author from whose article the same had been taken, but, as they were copied and written where they would do the most good for myself without any thought of ever publishing them, this is not now possible. In general I may say, however, that nearly all were copied either from the Medical Advance or The Homceopathic Physician. Mind. Affection of friends, thinks she has lost it. Aurum, Hura.
