Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) asked in various competitive examinations in homoeopathy all over India. Author has
arranged topic wise questions of different subjects and provided explanation of answers with authentic reference which
LT
will definitely help the student to understand and memorize the fact in easy way.
As we know, the number of competitive examinations is increasing day by day. Also, the competition is as tough among
the students as there are opportunities for services in different State Government and Central Government organizations
and institutions. This type of MCQ book is very helpful. Dr Gajendra has done all his hard work in collecting the
T
questions from different sources for this book; this book is very helpful for PSC, UPSC, MD (Hom) Entrance and all
types of competitive examinations in homoeopathy.
PV
The main difficulty faced by the students appearing for various competitive examinations in homoeopathy was scarcity
of a book which provides the explanation of MCQs asked in different examinations with correct answer and authentic
explanations. By this book author has tried his best to fulfill the long felt need of students.
The author has used the tables for comparison and to differentiate similar looking matter or symptoms, and has given
several related information at one place so that it become comprehensible and easy to retain for students. Apart from it,
ER
the author has kept in mind the real difficulties of students, he has at certain places taken the risk of repeating the matter
but that appears to have been done purposely so that a proper and more emphasis is laid on that particular matter, in this
way the learners would have these important fundamental matter fixed deeper into their mind.

Dr Gajendra Singh is a brilliant student of homoeopathy. He has passed his B.H.M.S. from State National Homoeopathic
Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow. He is currently doing PG at National Institute of Homoeopathy in the Dept. of
Organon of Medicine. I wish him a brighter and better future as a physician and as a person.
IS
I personally feel that this book will be immensely useful for all the students who are preparing for MD (Hom) Entrance,
UPSC, States PSC and other competitive examinations in homoeopathy. I am sure that this book will be appreciated by
BL
those who are going to use it. I wish the author and the book a long life.

examinations.
During my preparatory phase for MD entrance, I faced a lot of difficulties to get a concise and collective study material
LT
especially related to our Homoeopathic subjects. So ultimately I decided to compile a compact, comprehensive book with
utmost care that would be very useful for the students for preparing for various exams which are mainly based on MCQs.
It is an attempt to provide the student a comparatively easy way to prepare for exams. I have tried to provide explanation
of each question with authentic references from standardized text books. Along with this, under the heading “Little more”
I have given related information to clear the doubts. In this way reader will be able to differentiate among options in a
T
better way and probability of choosing correct answer would increase many folds.
PV
The book is written in a clear, concise and simple language and author’s own style which hold the reader’s interest. While
reading the book you will feel as if author is directly communicating to you. In no way it has been tried to replace the text
books but it is just a humble effort to give a tool whose proper use may lead you to the apex of success.
I have avoided to give answer just below the questions and purposely given answers and explanations at the end of
questions. Providing answers at the end of all questions will give you a better way to solve the MCQs and a deep memory
as you find many related information along with your answer.
ER
Some model questions have been given for each subject separately. It will help you for self evaluation. After thorough
analysis of previous question papers of various competitive exams in Homoeopathy like UPSC, State PSC and MD
H
entrance, questions have been collected and arranged topic wise so that you can learn and understand in a better way how
different type of questions is being framed from a particular topic.
Most recent question papers of MD Entrance exams of two renowned colleges of India i.e. “National Institute of
IS
Homoeopathy, Kolkata” & “Nehru Homoeopathic Medical College, Delhi” along with their answers have been included.
I have given the name of book “KAIZEN” which means continuous and never ending improvement, we should always
BL
try to improve our qualities because it is the only way which will go towards success.
“Patience, Persistence and Perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success” (Napolean Hill) So friends “ALL
THE BEST.”
PU
D
(Continuous Improvement), I am taking a step ahead to improve the content of this book by providing latest question
papers with their answers, which have been asked in various competitive examinations in homoeopathy as MD Entrance,
LT
UPSC, different State PSC and AIIMS Bhubaneswar. As I believe that it will increase the understanding of readers
regarding pattern of question being asked in competitive exams. Hope you have a successful career ahead.
Wish you success not only in homoeopathy but also in life.

him to abandon his studentship. However, he had so deeply impressed the physician to the royal court, Professor von
H
Quarin that he secured for him a secondment to practice medicine for a rich patron in Transylvania, the Governor of
Hermannstadt

Death of Hahnemann
●● On March 24, 1843, Hahnemann fell ill with bronchitis, gradually loosing his strength. He as usual
prescribed for himself. Patiently he suffered the severe paroxysms of difficult breathing peculiar to his
disease.
●● On the 2nd of July, 1843, at 5 a.m. in the morning, Hahnemann died in his house in Paris, No. 1 Rue de
D
Milan. The master had lived for more than 88 years.
●● Next day, Dr Jahr certify officially death of Hahnemann together with Dr Croserio in the presence of
the Mayor of the district.
LT
●● For nine days, Madame Melanie kept her husband’s body at home. Then on the rainy morning of July
11th, 1843, hearse drew up in the courtyard of the Hahnemann house.
●● Madame Melanie had requested permission from the police (which she obtained) to keep the embalmed
body at home for 14 to 20 days.
T
●● The embalming was carried out by a process patented by the firm Gannal, wherein aluminium sulphate
PV
was used. This was done on 3rd July.
●● There was no farewell speech, there was no mark of veneration.
●● Madam Melanie had kept secret not only the hour of death but also the time of burial.
Burial of Hahnemann
●● ER
Amalie, widow of Suss, with her son Leopold, a young apothecary, La Thiere, probably the descendant
of that painter La Thiere who had adopted Melanie as his foster-daughter, and some representative of the
servants followed the hearse on foot to the Montmarte Cemetery, a kilometer away.
H
●● Hahnemann was quickly and almost secretly borne away to his last resting place like a beggar on a rainy
day.
IS
●● There was nothing to pay tribute to the importance of an extraordinary man, no priest, no prayer, no
chants, and no funeral music.
●● Madam Melanie had kept secret not only the hour of death but also the time of burial. She had not called

●● She had descended into the same grave where she had already put two dead men, associated with her in

●● On July 21, 1900, a monument was erected by the International Homoeopathic Congress, with great ceremony.
The Scottish red-granite monument displays a bust of Hahnemann, a facsimile of that by the sculptor, David.
CONVERTED HOMOEOPATHS
B
●● Kent converted to Homoeopathy due to the complete cure of insomnia of his second wife by Dr Phalen by
Lachesis.
●● Boenningahusen converted to Homoeopathy due to the complete cure of his purulent tuberculosis by Dr Weihe
by Pulsatilla.
●● Hering converted to Homoeopathy due to the complete cure of gangrene by Ars.alb.
●● Carroll Dunham while in Dublin, he received a dissecting wound that nearly killed him, but with the aid of
homoeopathy he cured himself with Lachesis.
○○ Under the stress of his large practice, he developed rheumatic carditis. The old school specialists
gave up but once again homoeopathy saved him. His friend, Dr Hering, prescribed Lithium carb.

QUOTATIONS
●● “Group is more important than a single symptom no matter how much peculiar it is” - Boenninghausen
JA
●● “Many persons of my acquaintance but half converted to homoeopathy have repeatedly begged me to publish
still more exact directions as to how this doctrine may be actually applied in practice, and how we are to
proceed. I am astonished that after the very particular directions contained in the Organon of Medicine more
B
●● It is possible to find in Organon the highest wisdom and greatest foolishness according to the natural tendency
of the reader - August Bier
●● To learn the Materia Medica, one must master Hahnemann’s Organon, after which the symptomatology and a
full repertory must be the constant reference books, if careful homoeopathic prescribing is to be attained and
maintained - J.T. Kent
D
●● The Great Adolph Lippe made it a rule to read Organon once a year and he said that every time he discovered
something that he had not observed before. Those sections which describe the examination of patients should
be more especially studied, for your Repertories and Materia Medicas will avail you little if you do not examine
LT
your patients as Hahnemann teaches. A thorough understanding of the Organon of Medicine is indeed essential
to its most effective application in each and every case of illness.
●● Dr J. N. Kanjilal has very well stated the method which he himself utilized in his self-education in Homoeopathy.
He has advised three steps relating to the study of Organon:
T
○○ “In the first reading every word of every aphorism together with its footnotes must be read very
PV
carefully with meticulous attention to the commas, semicolons etc., as well as the parentheses.
Never be satisfied until the whole meaning of the aphorism with its logic and connotation becomes
quite clear. In this reading, of course, the whole book, beginning from its name to the last line of
the Appendix must be read thoroughly.”
○○ “In the second reading each aphorism should be read in the context of the whole Organon including
ER
the Appendix as given in the 5th edition, translated by Dudgeon. Before starting the second reading
a thorough perusal of the “Contents” of the same book, as given just after the preface to the 5th
edition should be read. This will help greatly in forming an idea of the arrangements of the
H
different topics taught in the book.”
○○ “After that, while reading any aphorism, other aphorisms dealing with the same point should be
reproduced. For example: The phrase accessory circumstances occur in aphorisms 5, 7 and 94; an
IS
accessory symptom of the remedy occurs in 163, 167, 180 and 181; an accessory symptom of the
disease occurs in 5, 7 and 95; and so on. All these groups of aphorisms should be read together,
BL
to his understanding and sense of logic. In this way by mutual debate, all the points will become
more and more clear and more deeply comprehended.”

●● T. F. Allen added many of the rubrics in the eye section. He also used an idea of combining Boenninghausen’s
Repertory of the Sides of the Body with the original Pocket Book.
In fact, the idea of concomitant came from Dr Hahnemann’s instructions on case taking where he emphasized the
PU
importance of enquiring into the symptom before, during and after the main complaint.
The following fundamental concepts form the bedrock of Therapeutic Pocket Book:
●● Doctrine of analogy
●● Doctrine of concomitants
IN
●● Evaluation of remedies

Boenninghausen was the first person to grade the remedies.

Chapter on mind contains rubrics in relation to emotions, and Intellect contains rubrics in relation to understanding
and memory. His first repertory, repertory of antipsorics contains large number of rubrics under mind section when
compared to Therapeutic pocket book. This is the least elaborate of all sections in Therapeutic pocket book.
Boenninghausen makes 4 divisions of back namely-
B
1. Scapula
2. Back in general
3. Kraus- part of back between hips corresponding to the region of the sacrum
4. Steiss- region of coccyx
Original edition contained three chapters as Aggravations according to time, Aggravations according to situation and
circumstances, Ameliorations according to situation and circumstances. Aggravations are more important and more
reported by provers than amelioration.
But Allen’s edition contains only 2 sections:
1. Aggravations
D
2. Ameliorations
●● In his Repertory of Antipsorics aggravations & amelioration are given at the end of each chapter but in
LT
BTPB given separately in chapter 6.
●● Clock timings are not given in Therapeutic pocket book, day timings are followed by rubrics on periodicity.
In Therapeutic pocket book, there is no general rubrics for pain, only specific types of pains are mentioned.
●● Concordance helps to find out- the genuineness of medicines
T
– Selected medicine is correct or not
– Comparative value of symptoms in symptom group
PV
– To find out superficial remedy in advanced pathological conditions
– Studying relationship among various levels
●● In Mind section almost all the rubrics contain Veratrum alb in high grade.
