Synoptic Key is one such classical text of homeopathic literature that has seen many ups and downs. Boger created this work after a detailed study of Kent’s and Boennighausen’s work.
This book can be considered as a key to homeopathic Materia Medica. It is a wonderful book for bed-side preions as well as for quick revision. In it you can easily see which remedy affects which specific part of the body.
The book is divided into three parts:
1) Repertory - The repertory is too instructive in its own way and many hints can be gathered from its unusual layout. It can also be applied as the "supplemental reference table".
2) Materia Medica which is laid out in the physiological sphere of activities with modalities and relationships. This book gives out the general expression or genius of each remedy, thereby helping the prescriber to correct the manner of his practice.
3) 3 Appendices
Key Features:-

This book is in a real sense a key to homeopathic Materia Medica.
Cyrus Maxwell Boger was born on May 13, 1861 in western Pennsylvania, the son of Cyrus and Isabelle Maxwell Boger. He received his elementary education in the public schools of Lebanon, Pa., then graduated in pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and later in medicine from Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia. He settled in Parkersburg, W. Va., in 1888 where a long and very large practise was his, patients consulting him from neighboring states and from distant states and countries. His ambition was to devote all his time to teaching and writing but he never reached the point of giving up his practise. However, he frequently lectured before scientific audiences at the Pulte Medical College in Cincinnati and was a teacher of philosophy, materia medica, and repertory study in the American Foundation for Homoeopathy Postgraduate School from 1924 until his death. Boger, who was a german scholar, brought Bnninghausen's Characteristics and Repertory into the English Language in 1905. He was married three times. A daughter of the first marriage died quite young. The second marriage brought him four sons and five daughters. His third wife, Anna M. Boger, was his secretary and constant helper. He died on September 2, 1935, aged 74, from food-poisoning after eating a tin of home-preserved tomatoes. He was a devoted follower of the Boenninghausen method of a repertory study, as all his published works show.
