B. Jain Publishers (P) Ltd. New Delhi-110055; 1993; pages 158 Dr. A. C. Dutta was born in the year 1936 in Jamshedpur, Bihar, India. A scientist by profession, is the propounder of the scientific basis of homoeopathic system, of medicine, is already reputed nationally as well as internationally for his highly valuable contributions to scholary scientific journals. Application of a healing art without the scienceis generally regarded as a mere pretention and such practice is relegated to the domain of empiricism. Homoeopathic system of treatment, so far having no truck with the modern science, was never recognized as belonging to the category of scientific medicine. Rather it was often looked down as one of the worst quackeries that had ever come into existence. Attempts have been, therefore, made in this treatise to find out the missing link between homoeopathy and the modern science. Reviewed in the light of some recent scientific discoveries, the doctrine of homoeopathy, particularly its so-called darker sides, is found to be not only quite illuminative but also indicative of new vistas of research in the fields of microchemistry, micro-biology as well as plant pathology.
