About James Compton Burnett (1840-1901)
Dr. Burnett was born July 20th 1840, near Salisbury, Wiltshire in the United Kingdom. He went to an orthodox medical school in Vienna, Austria in 1865 and graduated with honours. He discovered homeopathy in 1872 and studied in Glasgow. In 1876 he took his MD degree.

Burnett was the first to speak out about the link between vaccinations and their side effects. To this end he wrote Vaccinosis, which was published in 1884. He was noted for using mother tinctures as well as both high and low potencies. Burnett earned himself the appellation of 'Dr. Gout' for his successful cure of the disease. He did this with a remedy that he kept secret during his lifetime but which is now known to be Urtica Urens. Dr. Burnett ran two busy medical practices in London, England. He is to be credited with the introduction of many nosodes. Dr. Burnett was a profuse writer and authored numerous books and small pamphlets on many varied aspects of homeopathy. His death was due to a sudden heart failure.

About the author:
H. L. Chitkara (born 1924)
Dr. Chitkara was born near Lalian in Pakistan. Originally he was brought up in a family using Unani medicine. Unani medicine is an ancient Greek medicine system adopted by the Islamic world that owes its beginnings to Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.). Unani is based on the principle that there are four humours, or elements, in the human body. Having achieved success in academia in the field of mathematics and also English literature he subsequently entered into his homeopathic studies and practice.
