This edition has been updated with a view to the new advancements made in the field of medicine and homeopathic therapeutics. With the advent of new diagnostic tools and techniques medicine has evolved into yet another dimension, which made it necessary to include all the advancements in this edition. But it was done keeping in view the needs of students thereby staying away from unnecessary irrelevant information that just adds to bulk of the book.

Dr Dorothy Shepherd had wide experience both in Harley Street and in clinics in the poorer parts of London. Although she had leanings towards homoeopathy during her student years, it was not until she visited Dr J.T. Kent in the U.S.A., and experienced great benefit from this therapy that she fully adopted this method of treatment in her practice. Having embarked upon a career as a homoeopath she studied the subject deeply and the more she learned the more she became convinced that it is the finest method of dealing with every type of ailment. Being a true healer she believed that every sufferer should know of homoeopathy and in order to make it more widely known she began writing a much acclaimed series of books, the best known of which is Magic of the Minimum Dose and this book, More Magic of the Minimum Dose.
