Dr Dorothy Shepherd had wide experience both in Harley Street & in clinics in the poorer parts of London. Although she had leanings towards Homoeopathy during her student years, it was not until she visited the world-famous Dr J. T. Kent in the USA, & 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 & 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 & in order to make it more widely known she wrote Homoeopathy for the First Aider which gives simple instructions for the treatment of injuries & common ailments.
