PREFACE
An Essential Guide to Repertory of the Homoeopathic
Materia Medica is my humble attempt to present before the
students the broad facts in Repertory of the Homoeopathic
Materia Medica. The whole matter has been presented in a
lucid and simple style. Every topic is described in accordance
with questions usually set in the examinations. In short, the
book has been designed to serve as ready-made notes for a
student and as short guide-book on the application of Repertory

I am grateful to my teachers who have always been a
Source of inspiration and encouragement to me. In the
preparation of this book I have been greatly helped in many
ways by my daughter Dr. Banani Saha. Lastly, I am also
grateful to M/s. Pekayes Homoeopathic Publication to

Medica is no more in Cyclo-styled form. It is now a printed book -a
form that the students were on the look out for since long. The book
contains many well-written special short notes on individual topic,
which the students generally find difficult to answer in the correct
way. The book has been written keeping in view the over all needs ot
the students, and the way of treatment of subject the author has made
here will enable them to understand the topics properly, we feel. This
book will cater to the needs of the students and also play the role of a
friend and guide to tlhem. We would add here that several books on
medical science written by the author of this book, Dr. B. Saha, are
already published in printed form and those are in circulation with
rich popularily.
In spite of our best care and attention some mistakes may have
crept in for which we feel terribly sorry. Any suggestion form the
teachers as well as students will be thankfully accepted and
considered with great respect for improvement of this book in the
editions to follow.
We shall be glad if this.book is of some meaningful assistance to
the students for whom it is specially designed and dedicated.

CHAPTER I
On. What is Repertory ? Explain the term Repertory.
Ans: The word Repertory has originated from the Latin
word "Repertorium" which means 'an inventory: a table or a
compendium where the contents are so arranged that they are
easy to find."
A Repertory in Homæopathy is an index of symptoms of
our Materia Medica with their corresponding homæopathc
medicines arranged systematically. It may be arranged in an
alphabetical order (Dr. Phatak's) or a schematic order
(Dr. Kent's ) or upon definite guiding principles
(Dr. Boenninghausen's). It is a dictionary of symptoms with
their medicines. Most of the authors have arranged the
repertorial symptoms from above downwards, that is, fron
head to foot, according to the Hahnemiannian Scheme.
Repertory is, an index, a dictionary of symptoms of
Materia Medica, where medicines are arranged systematically
with corresponding symptoms togetherin a practical form with
their relative gradation for quick selection of indicated remedy.
(or, Repertory is a dictionary of symptoms. or, it is short of

On. Write in brief a short history of Repertory.

Ans: Dr. Hahne7nann proved upon himself near hundred
medicines. Polychrest medicines produced thousands of of
symptoms. Dr. Hahnemann the great prover and founder of
Homoeopathy could not prescribe proper medicine without
consulting several provings of drug. He had to spend a lot of
time for a single prescription. No, man, even Hahnemann could
retain ali the symptoms of proved drugs in his brain. To get rid
of these difficu!ties, he thought about indexing of symptoms.
The earlier. Repertory was born as early as 1805 when
Hahnemann published in Latin his famous "Fragmenta de
Viribus Medica Mentorum Positivis." The first .part
Contained symptoms observed and the second part formed the
Index or Repertory (Kishore cards). He made a Repertory but
did not publish it, as it was imperfect and incomplete.
However. in his own consulting hours he used a hand-written
volume compiled. in the year 1817. He used also his work in 2
volumes in the handwriting of Dr: Gross and Repertory for
chronic diseases complied by Dr. Ruchert under his
superwision. Hahnemann was the first repertorian but the credit
for publishing the first Repertory goes to Dr. Boenninghausen.
He did it and received much co-operation and encouragement
from Hahnemann. He published (i) Repertory of the anti-
psorics in 1832. (ii) Repertory of the medicines which are not
anti-psorics in 1835, and (ii) Attempt at showing the Relative
Kingship of Homoeopathic Medicines in 1836. These

Ans: - The word 'rubric' originated from the Latin word.
"Rubrica". It means a heading a guiding rule. In Repertory. rubrics
are the headings and sub-headings, which list a group of a drug or

by analysis for the purpose of classification and ready reference: in Materia
Medica, combination by synthesis to enable us to study drug-effects in their
grand unity and relationship."
All the effects of a single drug are discussed in the Materia Medica to
impress on the reader the genius of a drug. But all the specialitics of a
particular drug, esp. when the lists of proved drugs are so heavy, are ditficult
to remember even for a specialist. But the exact similar is required for the
cure of a patient.
AS a retresher to memory for experts and an unfailing guide to the
initials, the repertory offers its usefulness at moment of need.
The anatomical order of study as introduced by Halnemann is followed
in all symptom-repertories while the alphabetical order of arrangement by
names of diseascs is followed in the clinical repertories. in Dr. Calvin B.
Knerr's Repertory, the order of arangement or method of classification
followed is the one inauguratcd by Hahnemann and devcloped. perfected and
Used by Dr. Hering in his "Guiding Symptoms" viz. the anatomicai or
regional division into 48 chapters.
In Dr. William Boericke's "Pocket Manual of Homocopathic Materia
Medica" there is a useful repertory of 354 pages, which is a clinical repertory
and is dividcd into 21 heads. It also includes an index to repertory and
therapeutic index, which is very helpful.

ADVANTAGES OF REPERTORY
Qn. How much essential of repertory in Homccopathic
practice? Or what arethe purposes of repertory ?
Ans: 1omoeopathic Materia Medica, which records vast
symptoms of medicines, is like an ocean. Certainly, one cannot afford
to refer to all similar drugs in Materia Medica corresponding to a
picture of disease. It would be time-consuming and at the same time
causing much confusion. Therefore, a need was felt for a working
manual to ease the task of fmding out a specifie drug. Such a need
Was felt as early as in Hahnemann's time. Thus, a new subject area
was pursued - repertory. In fact, most of the stalwarts hd felt the
iheed of repertory and found it difficult to practice without it.
The following are "the essential or repertory' in Homeopathic
practice:

 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 015
Ans-Utility of philosophy in Repertory - It gives the
O ldea of sick: When a man is attacked with some disease
condition to a particular organ then we can say his body is in diseased
condition and it gives the idea of 'Totality of Symptoms'. Now from
the totality of symptoms we have find out the similimum. which is
done by Repertorisation.
Totality not only the aggregate of "signs and symptoms". It is the
picture of deranged Vital Force. So all the symptoms are not
importance so we must be evaluates .the symptoms and idea of
evaluation comes from the philosophical part of Homæopathy.
Gradation ofmedicine is also known through drug proving.
Philosophy gives the concrete idea regarding to Second
Prescription and we get the medicine for Second Prescription by
Repertorization.
UTILITY OF MATERIA MEDICA
OIn Repertory, final selection of remedy is done through the
knowledge of Materia Medica.
Whether the medicine is deep acting or short acting, we can know
it from the knowledge of Materia Medica, so it helps us to prescribe
judging the nature of disease.
Repertory is the book of index where symptoms are written
systematicaily and the symptoms are framed from Materia Medica, so
Repertory cannot be produced without the help of Materia Medica.
During Repertorisation, maximum gradation of medicine decides
the similiinum and gradation is done throughcomes
drug proving.
Data of Second Prescription also out through the
knowledge of Materia Medica.
6 From the knowledge of Materia Medica and Organon we can
perceive the miasm, which is present in every chronic disease.

Qn. What are the merits of Repertory
Ans: Merits or advantage of repertory: The rational system of
medicine, Homceopathy
i.e., stands on trio, viz., O Materia Medicaa
which is the literature of an rational system; The Organon of
Medicine- is the grammar and. The repertory - which is the
dictionary of language of Homeopathy.
The Chief Merits of repertory are as follows:
(1) Repertory is better than a consulting physician as it contain more
information.
(2) It helps in increasing our knowledge of our Materia Medica by
checking wrong, re-studying and comparing medicine.
(3) In case-taking, knowledge of repertóry helps an art of
interrogation and framing an intelligent operation.
(4) It helps in case-taking to complete a symptom.
(5) It inhibils the tendency o prescribe on the basis of one or

Qn. What are the demerits of Repertory ?
Ans: Demerits or disadvantages or drawbacks of Repertory:
the chief reasons are -

O Numerous Repertories: There, are different types of numerous

repertories but no repertory is complete one in respect of number of
medieine or number of symptoms. Numbers of medicine are
increasing daily in Homeoopathic Materia Medica. So no repertory
can be declared as a complete one athd up-to-date.
Arrangements of Book: Repertory book are arranged in different
chapters and sub-chapters, rubric and sub-rubric. which are different
indifferent book.
Rubric: (i) Different medicine are found in different repertories
against particular rubric. (ii) Some rubrics are erroneously combined
with other rubric. e.g. moaning and groaning. (iti) There are many
symptom which are not found under rubric of certain repertories, e.g.
pro-fainty 1S not in Kent repertory . but found tound in Boger,
Bænninghausen's and Plhatak's repertory. (iv) Similur rubric -
are to
be very frequently cross-referred. e.g. Absentmindness, Abstract of
mind.
All cross-reference detailed in different repertories are not
identical.
(V) Medicines given in sub-rubric are not given in general rubric.
(vi) Selection of rubric for proper repertorisation requires
tact,
intelligence, experience and vast knowledge.

Qn. Discuss the first conceived the idea of Repertorization.
How this idea developed in the mind of different authors?

Ans: With the rapidly growing number of medicines recorded

by Dr. Hahnemann and his disciples. it was felt by tlhem that no
human mind could possibly remember the ever growing Materi
Medica all the symptoms presented by various Materia Medica ana
all the symptoms presented by the various medicines at the time ot
need. It was therefore, necessary to have an index to the Mater1d
Medica of the symptoms of the proved medicines. Hahnemant
expressed his desire to have one such repertory for his own use ana
 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 019
advised his disciples to prepare a Repertory for which he gave them
the guidelines. Hahinemanin himself used to refer to the repertory
writen in his own handwriting compiled in the year 1817 and also
used the handwritten copy of. Jahr's Repertory. Again he used
Repertory of Bæninghausen. Hence, Bænninghausen Repertory was
the first to appear in printed forim. Hahnemann himself was first to
prepare repertoryy nex! to Jahr and third Bænninghausen.
Banninghausen "Repertory of Antipsoric" is undoubtedly the
foundation stone upon which the repertories we see today have been
built. Bænninghausen's first edition of "The repertory and Antipsoric
was published in Munster in Germany in the year 1833. Dr. Jahr's
first edition.

Qn. What is the historical background of Repertory?

Ans: Dr. Halnemann could not prescribed proper medicine
without consulting and comparing several proving of drugs. But the
process was laborious and it was time consuming. He prepared
repertory afier facing critical problems but it did not published, as it
was imperfect and incomplete one.
As early as 1805, his famous "Fragmenta De Veribus
Medicanentorum Positivis'' published in Latin. First parts of these
book-containing- symptoms observed and second part which is an
index of repertory.
Hahnemann was first to make Repertory and that he did have a

He was first man to compile a Repertory of some of the leading
Symptoms and this was printed in Latin in 1817.
By his own observation he compiled it for chronic disease.
Hahnemann also employed Dr. Jahr to complete the 2nd edition of
chronic disease and also to lay the foundation of a Repertory and
Encyckonedia of symptoms. Dr. Jahr published his first repertory in
1835 ani 2 volumes contain 1052 and 1254 pages.

Qn.
Qn. Discuss in brief the Historical Survey of
Repertory.
Ans: When Dr. Hahnemann discovered the 'Law of Similar he
found that all the drugs which were known as 'specifics' for certáin
diseases according to the orthodox medical (Allopathic) system
produced those very symptoms (on healthy hman beings) for whiCh
they were curative. But the actions of those drugs were recordea

in mild or in severe forms or intensities, which
created confusion and
chaos. Even Dr. Hahnemann who proved
several drugs could not
prescribe medicine to his patient's without consulting
and
proving of several drugs. The process was laborious comparing
consuming a lot of his time and talent. Then, he and was
felt the need for
some sort of indexing of symptoms and it was
to solve the hurdle he
thought; "For the convenience of treatment,
we require merely to jot
down after each symptom all the medicines which
can produce such.a
symptom with tolerable accuracy, expressing them
by a few letters
(e.g. Ferrun., Chin., Rheum, Puls., etc.), and also to
bear in mind the

and thus the

repertories.
Dr. Hahnemann prepared. the repertory after facing critical
problems and wanted to publish the same in 1830, but could
as his publisher Mr. Arnold was not in a position to
not do so
do so. He wrote
to Dr. Bænninghausen on 20th June 1930; "The
repertory which was
announced without my approval is ready, but as I have been on
friendly terms with Arnold for 20 years, I cannot look
for another
publisher and he is not yet able to undertake the publication
as he has
lost several thousand thalers (German coin) over the
publication of
book which is supposed to be an adjunct to Homæopathy
(about
which he has unfortunately not consulted me). Therefore,
we must
exercise patience..
Again he wroté on 16th January 1832.. "My repertory
was an
alphabetical record, which could only be of great service
up the necessary symptoms of mmedicine, in looking
it very complete, and this
perfection is not yet to be found in mine. It is therefore
regretted that it remains unpublished, but in its not to be

Further he wrote on November 25th, 1833.. A dictionary of
symptoms would occupy an efficient and very industrious assistant

I

1or myself a dictionary of symptoms of the medicines that had been

would be twice as large.. Dr. Ruckert (who afterwards published his
systematic representation) wrote for me, one of antipsoric remedies,
when he was in Kothen 4 years ago, after his return from Liefland, in
the autumn; I kept him here for that purpose for 6 months, as he was
unable to find employment at once."
Once again he wrote on June 30th, 1834.. " After considering
the matter with Mr. Jahr, I find that it is impossible to arrange a
repertory differently from that which you and Jahr have compiled,
and you can. be perfectly satisfied. Only a dictionary would give the
seeker more complete information, and we can well leave this work
to Mr. Jahr whom, if God grants me a further lease of life, I shall
sometime be able to put in the position io do it; he has a great
aptitude for it, and will make himself far more useful to our science I
think, than if he went to Paris, Brussels or America."
And lastly he wrote on August 21st, 1934... "If God permits,
Jahr will work out the symptom dictionary, and I shall

These volumes are masterpiece. Symptoms are arranged so
wIsely and neatly that if a symptom (or symptoms) is unreliable, t
can be taken away easily and can be replaced by other genuine one at
the same place. Though technically Hahnemann was the first
Repertorian, the credit for pubishing the 1irst Kepertoy

encouragement and cooperation of Hahnemann. (i) Baænninghausen

(1in) attempt at showing the Relative kinship of Homæopathic
medicines in 1836. All these publications were combined to form his
masterpiece "Therapeutic Pocket Book' which is perhaps more
wIdelyknown and used, and was first published in 1846 in German.
Dr Constantine Hering published the first Repertory in English
language in 1838. Dr. Constantine Lippe prepared his Repertory of
the more characteristic symptoms of the Materia Medica. This work
was based on Dr. Hering's Guiding symptoms, Bænninghausen's
Repertory and several other Repertories, which were prevalent at that
time. He published an up-to-date Repertory in 1880.
Hahne nann was the founder of Homæopathy but it was the hand
of Banninghausen behind him, who with his great legal and
analytical acumen and synthetic vision developed the art of
Homoeopathy to perfection! An apostolic hierarchy runs down from
Hahneman, througlh Benninghausen down to Boger and Roberts.
Te same philosoplhic background permeated their thought-structures.
Later Kent approved with a slightly different philosophical outlook
and gave a new turn to the practice of Homæopathhy with the
publication of three masterpieces viz. (1) Lectures on Homeopathic
Materia Lectures on Homæopathic Philosophy;
MMedica; (2)
3) And the 'Magnum opus' Repertory of Homæopathic Materia
-

Medica, published in 1877.

Qn. Why we read a Repertory?
Ans We read a repertory in order to know what medicine or
medicines we have for sympioms of a case, as we cannot remember
or memorize all symptoms of drug proving.
The Repertorial method is noi a mechanical method but it is a.
most scientific and intelligent one and requires deep understanding.
Repertory is our chicf instrument of precision.
Repertory is our chief instrument of precision-The subject
of Repertory is very much neglected in our country. In the past,
026 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
is not included in the
in most of the Homæopathic Colleges, it
syllabus or if it is included it is taught in a haphazard way. Hence the
students do not get any scope to learn anything about Repertorization
any
and as such when they start heir private praclice, Uhey 1ail to get
benefit out of the subject and big volumes of repertory only increase
tne shoW on the desk without proper use being made of them.
Repertorization becomes a laborious and useless task to the
Homæopath who does not know the correct process of doing 1t.
It is a better sign that recently, most of the Universities and
Homæopatihic Councils included the Repertory in their syllabus (as a
compulsory subject) accordingly instructed the Homeopathic
Colleges for emphasizes the subject. The process of Repertorization
is also an art and it requires continuous practice, patience and proper
attention to be a master in this art. Repertory is a practical subject and
it is impossible to be a master in this subject unless we try to use it in
our daily practice.
The more we use it, the more interest we will get in it.
Qn. How to Use the Repertory?
(As explained by Dr. Roberts & Wilson).
AnsThe intelligent use ofa repertory means that we understand
the scope of a repertory as well as the purpose of a repertory. We may
ask- What is a repertory ? To, which the reply might be A
repertory is an index of synmptoms, arranged systematically. The
system or arrangement may be founded in turn upon definite guiding
principles; or it may be alphabetical or schematic.
Again we may ask-what a
is the purpose of repertory ?
Our answer may be--A repertory has two definite purposes-

a
To serve as a reference and guide in looking up particular
symptom that may indicale the sinnilimun, or that may make the
necessary distinction between two or more similar remedies in any
given case; e For careful study of all the symptoms that may appear
in a chronic case.
The repertory is nol meant lor use in those cases where there
are clear indications for the similimun. In those cases
the additional
symptoms that might be sccured from the patient, under pressure or
questioning, possibly would confuse a case that already stands out
clearly: or if the repertory is used here, might be
of a quick reference, to verify
it used in the manner
the leading indications for the remeay,
or if sone slighi doubl were felt, to differentiate
between those
 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 027
seemingly indicated. In clearly out cases, even if the repertorization
verified by picture. for the student of Materia Medica this would have
been a waste of time.
On the other hand, we' must take into consideration those
physicians who have not gained a thorough knowledge of the Materia
Medica; or to be considered still nmore. those chroniC cases where
several remedies emerge only in shadowy outlines from a background
that is a network of chronic symptoms ever more intricately woven.
There are many such cases that come to the homoeopathic physician,
cases that hàve suffered many things of many doctors: cases with
mismanagement atter mismanagement superinposed upon circum-
stantial stress and that again upon hereditary tendencies. These cases
rarely show a clear picture of a single indicated remedy. and very
often shown no related group of remedies. Often it is impossible to
see any remedy-likeness in such a symptom group without careful
repertorisation, but with that analysis we may see not only the single
indicated remedy, but we may trace the probable sequence ot
remedies that may be necessary to bring the case to the desired cure
for it is possible to envision the probable sequence of remedies, at
times, just as we can look back óver a chronic history and see the
indications for various remedies at variqus periods in the patient's,
past life.
The value of any repertory depends upon several elements
OThe art of the physician in taking the case.
A knowledge ofthe repertory one attempts to use-
(a) its philosophic background,
(b) its construction,
(c) its limitations,.
(d) its adaptability.
Intelligent use of the resulting analysis.
GENERALIZING FOR REPERTORY WORK
As described by Dr. Stuart Close, M.D.]
Ans-In using repertories, notably "Bænninghausen," which all
Hahnemannian prescribers use, we constantly generalize. We bring
together and correlate the partial, disconnected statements of the
patient into complete and rounded wholes, which may, perhaps, be
characterized by a single word corresponding to a rubric in the
Tepertory. Take, for example, the wordmalhciousiess," Classitied by
Bænninghausen under the general heading "mind. At frst thought
that would seem it to be a particular symptom: but a little reflection
028 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
will show it to be a generalization, drawn from a number of
observations. Rarely will a patient state; or even admit on being
directly questioned, that he is maliciously disposed. If it is a fact it
will deduce by the discerning physician from a number of a facts,
learned directly by the inductive process. The same is true of a great
number of mental states. We become aware of them in the course of
Our careful observation and study of the case, by piecing together
detached bits of evidence.
Generalizing the mental states is the most difficult of all and
requires the exercise of the highest powers of the physician. ln
difficult cases of nervous and mental disease the physician must be as
trained psychologist and a logician, as well as a most alert and
accurate observer.
Reviewing and summarizing the ground thus far covered we find
that the inductive method in science is. cumulative and

 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 029
The facts having been ascertained and clearly stated, they are to
be arranged in their natural relation to each other and to the subject of
the inquiry by comparison and generalization.
Generalization proceeds by bringing together similar and related
phenomena into groups, considering these in their relation to each
other and to other groups, deducing their general characteristics and
stating them in simple, comprehensive form.
Particulars appropriately grouped lead to minor generalizations,
which in turn lead to greater generalizations, but always as required
by Lord Becon's formula,, "ascending continually and by degrees.
"The most rigorous conditions of gradual and successive
generalizations must be adopted".
(11) Nothing should be deduced from the facts of observation
except what they inevitably include.
(12) At every stage of the investigation, the analysis of the
phenomena must be carried to its utmost limits betore
the process of synthesis is begun.
Memoizing Symptoms-The attempt to obtain a practical grasp
or working knowledge of the Materia Medica, or even of a single
remedy of merely memorizing details or single symptoms will always
fail. The proving must be so studied as to impress upon the mind and
memory an image, or concept of the indiyiduality of the drug as a
whole, so that it may be recognized as we recognize any other
individual or person. The memorizing of single symptoms, peculiar in
them, has its place and value, but it is secondary in the larger scheme
under discussion.
When a miscellaneous coflection of data is submitted to the
logically trained mind for comprelhension, it immediately begins to
compare phenomena according to sOme comprelhensive plan, in order
that it may discover general characteristics, if possible, which may
again be grouped in such a manner as to develop form and
individuality in the whole. This is generalizing, and is the method
employed in the construction of Materia Medica trom the proving. In
this way "keynotes or "characteristic symptoms are discovered. A
keynote" may be defined as a concise statement of a single
characteristic fealure of a drug deduced by a critical consideration of
its symptoms as recorded in a proving. In otlher words it is a minor
generalization based upon a study of particulars. It is not usually a

REPERTORY
[As explained by DR. S. D. SARKAR
The word Repertory comes from Latin stock- 're' again and
parere to bring forth. It is, as such a store where things are kept
arranged in such a manner that any item may be brought forth easily
at need. In Homæopathy the store contains in books - repertory where
sym! toms are arranged in heads or groups known as rubric. In such
rubrics there are names of medicines that have produced like
symptoms; it is obvious all drugs can not produce a particular
symptom With the same force or colour or impression; there must be
a varying range of difference in such force or impression; that
requires use of printing types of all shades from the boldest to the
ordinary; hey may also be either capital, italics and small to signify
the distinction of the one from the other. There may also be other
signs to mark the differences. The usual procedure is to observe the
anatomical schema as far as possible, as we find in our Materia
Medica and as indicated in the above case. That brings them in line
because one is supplementing the other.
To derive any benefit from repertory there are certain pre-
Tequisites to cover; they are proper case taking, proper evaluation of
symptoms along with their modalities and proper representation of
the symptoms in the respective rubrics and value the relative
importance of the indicated drugs by marks in the same way that we
Dut marks in the examination papers. Usually the drug that scores the
highest marks becomes the required rug. For instance, if against a
Symptom in a rubric, we find the indicated drugs to be Sulphur that
obtains 16, Calcarea carb that obtain's 14, Lycopodiun that obtains
12, Medorrhinum that obtains 10 marks, ii all ordinary circumstances
ulphur, because of its getting highest marks, will be the drug of

up of the symptoms is of primary necessity and it is
unsafe to depend
On any one synptom, unless other synmptoms are wanting, even
nough there may be eliminating synptoms.
Athough our Materia Medica is he language of disease, it is to
be realized that all the sick having identical suffering
do not speak in
he same language; their verbal
expressions are frequently different.
032 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
That makes the task of consulting the repertory a bit
difficult, in as
much as, we are to translate the expression in the
terms of the

purposes
almost an identical meaning for repertorial so
It would appear that repertorisation is a laborious task and it is
really. To cut short the labour a very characteristic symptom may be
picked up as Eliminating Symptom -they are the general symptoms
of Kent and are intensely individualistic; when such a symptom is
available, all the other less prominent symploms may be eliminated.
For instance, an intensely chilly patient may have all the hot remedies
covering other spheres of suffering safely eliminated; that minimizes
the labour and saves time.
Most of the repertories are in book form; some are in the form of
cards. The most frequently used repertory is the one by Kent
consisting of 31 chapters beginnins, wäth Mind and ending with
Generalities, others being: arranged on the basis of organs, functions,
secretion or excretion. It is referred to here.
Repertorization is unavoidable in Homaeopathy whether we do it
with the book at hand or mentally repertorises. It has its technique as
has been mentioned above but it is only by constant reference that we
may make the best use of it..
For examnple, in the above case in the way we have arranged the
salient points, we are in a position to consult the Repertory, and mark
the medicines that may cover the points. It is found that 18 süch
points in different rubrics are to be covered and no drug does this
except Conin nac, which scores 46 marks as against its nearest
choice Calc. carb. 35 marks; naturally Conim comes to be the
medicine of choice and 2 doses of Coniun 200 at interval completely
cured the case. We may as well ake the peculiar
vertigo as tne
Eliminating symptom, and work out the Repertorization
in shorc
time and with lesser labour.

Clarke's Repertory- The repertory by John Hen Clarke is
a Clinical Repertory with a specialty. Its full name is "A CIlinical
Repertory to the Dictionary of Materia Medica'". It was first
published in September 1904. Dr. (larke says, "That prince of
Repertory makers, Fon Bænninghausen, described his well-known
pocket-book as being, intended for úse at the bedside 'and in the study
of Materia Medica' no less than an instrument for inding out the
indicated remedies. Homæopathic practice 'consists
in knowledge of
Materia Medica, knowledge how to use it'. This demands unlimited
patience and application in the study of drug comparisons. My
repertory will enable the practitioner to compare any remedy with any
similar remedy in the different points all of great importance in
practice."

Benninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book
The Materia Medica contains symptoms not always complete.
Bænninghausen was the first man to conceive the idea of completing
these symptoms partly by analogy and partly by clinical observation
of curative effects. He discovered that many is not all of the
modalities of a case were general in their relation, and were not
necessarily confined to the particular symptoms with which they had
irst been observed. The "aggravation in a warm room" of Pulsatilla,
for exampie, might first have been observed as applying to a
headache. Bænninghausen assumed that this modality applied to all
the symptoms to the patient himself, in other words; and
that this
modality, once discovered in relation to any particular symptom of
Pulsatilla which, upto that time, had been incomplete
in respect of
their modalities. Experience proved this to be true.

about the Repertory and Materia Medica.

Separation by analysis for the purpose of classification and ready
reference; in Materia Medica, combination by synthesis to enable us
to study drug-effects in their grand unity and relationship.":
All the effects of a, single drug are discussed in the Materia

specialities of a particular drug. esp. when the list of proved drugs is
so heavy, is difficult to remember even for a specialist. But
the exact
similar is required for the cure of a patient.
S a refresher to memory for experts and an unfailing guide to
the initials, the repertory offers its usefulness at moment of need.
Eallne anatomical order of study as introduced by Hahnemann is

or method of classification followed is the one
inaugurated by
Hahnemann and developed, perfected and used by Hering in his
Uding Symptoms" viz. the anatomical or regional division into
48Chapters.
n William Boæricke's "Pocket Manual or Homæopathic Materia
iedica" there is a useful repertory of 354 pages which is a clinical

Qn. What do you mean by Homoeopathic Philosophyy?
Ans: Interpretations
The Philosophy of Homoeopathy rests upon the following

Motion is ceaseless and transformation.continuous.
Matter is indestructible and infinitely divisible.
Force is persistent and indestructible.
®The quantity of action necessary to effect any change in nature is
the least possible.
The aim of all science is to set up in place of the contingent that
Wiiich law makes necessary, and to refer every particular to its
universal.
In Homoeopathy we strive not only to separate the contingency
from the event, i.e., to determine the causal succession from what has
taken place, but also to become master of that contingency which
makes our judgment uncertain. The contingency of our judgment of
the facts, arrived at experimentally by the process of analysis, must
be removed synthetically by connecting the laws of nature with the
facts, so that we may be able to show their interdependence and act
accordingly. In this synthesis, or connecting of our perceptions,
conducted simultaneously with experimentation, consists 1he Art o
observation.
All conceptions of our inner being, as well as external things, are
based primarily upon the pèrceptions of our senses (including
consciousness, or the inner sense). But the formation of our ideas,
judgments and conclusions must result from determinate, objective
laws, inherent in the things themselves and their constitution, and not
from caprice.
In Medical Science and especially in therapeutics, rigid
discrimination must be made between the two relations of state and
changes according to these two laws (causation and vis inertia);;
since the action of the curative agents introduced into the body as
external causes, for the purpose of changing a state of disease into a
state of health; can only be determined by paying due regard to the
conditions of age, sex, constitution, predispOsition, etc., as maniresic
by symptoms or phenomena.
Two things thus constitute disease:- first, the qualities o
organisnn, which constitute the conditions for the disease; secoid,
external causes of he disease.
Honioeopathy is both an art and a science. The successi
homoeopathician must be both an artist and a scientist. His WO
must be both artistic and scientific. Theory and
practice must go hand
in and. TechnicGue must be governed by definite princip les.
Performance must be consistent with professio.
 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 037
Homeopathy was founded and developed into a scientific system
by Dr. Samnel Hahnemann (I755-1843) under the principles of the
Inductive Method otScience as developed by Lord Bacon. Its
practice is governed by the principle of Symptom Similarity, which is
the application in medicine of the universal principle of Mutual
Action formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, in his Third Law of MotiO:
"Action and reaction are equal and opposite."
Homeopathy, as a science, rests fundamentally upon 4 general
principles:- Simlarity, Contrariety, Proportionality and lninitesi
mality, reducible to the universal principle of Homoeosis, or
Universal Assimilatio.
Specifically, in the scientific sense, a law is the connecting link
between two series of phenomena, showing their refation. to each
other" There are two tests of the validity of any law that is claimed
to be a natura law, or law of nature". (1) That it is capable of
connecting and explaining two- series of natura phenomena. (2) That
it is in harmony with other known laws.
So in Homæopathy, we have the phenomena of drugs related to
the phenomena of diseases by the law of mutual action, under thee
principles of similarity, contrariety, proportionality and Infinite-
simality Feducibl again to.the principle of Universal Assimilation of
Homoeosis..
The working principles of Homæopathy, therefore, may be
briefly stated as follows:- (1) The totality of the symptoms of the
patient is the basis of medical treatment. (2) The use of single
medicme, the symptoms and sphere of action of which have been
predetermined by pure, controlled experiments upon healthy persons.
5) The principle of symptom-similarity as the guide to the choice of
the remedy. (4) The minimum dose capable of producing a dynamic
or functional reacton. Similia Similibus Curentur; Simplex Simile
Minium.

Hahnemann was the first to make repertory for use in his daily
practice. Each pages of. the repertory had slit to hold little square
paper, which could be changed according to the medicine.
He was the first man to complete a short repertory of some of
the leading symptoms and this was printed in Latin in 1817. Further

So long as a therapeutic action can be explained on this

Halhnemann's philosophy was.created to explain certain new
effects. Thus, the efficiency of attenuated drugs, the successful
application of the principle of similars were the two facts. Medical
philosophy as then understood did not help him, hence the need of a
new conception of vital processes.
The fact that in Homoeopathy we do not treat the part, but the
whole, was probably the starting point of his thinking. Hahnemann
was a vitalist. He saw in the body but an organism made up of the
material particles, in themselves dead but vivified and adapted to the
real living man, the spirit within. The connection between this
spiritual and immaterial being, on one hand, and physiologic
function, on the other, was accomplislied by the supposition

 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 043
At the same time, we have a theoretical conception of why attenuated
drugs are able to set in motión great bodily changes; presumably,
they adjust the dynamis and, hence start a natural curative cycle.
Thus, we say that, according to Hahnemann's philosophy, causes
are invisible, results are visible. If we wish to treat the cause of
disease, we must seek an agent delicate enough and individually
specific. The Homoeopathic potencies fulfill the first qualification
and the application of the law of imilars the second, always
assuming that there is an adequate symptomatology on which to
select the latter.

Qn. Wlhat are the different types of Repertory ?

Qn. Discuss the Limitation of Repertorization
AnS:- Repertory is practically only an index of symptoms O our
Materia Medica. Therefore., it can
serve only a limited purpose a
cannot replace a pihysician's knowledge er.
of-Materia Medica. Howe
in order to use it effectively, the physician
with all aspects of should be fully acqual
the repertory and lhe should also be aware of
 GUDE TO REPERTORY 045
adaptubility and fimitations. The following points should be borne in.
mind as regards the liitations of repertory.
O Repertory cannot give all the well-established syrmptoms and
ali the proved and unproved remedies upto date.
Number of remedies is limited in all the repertories, which
are available in the market, as suclh all the vepertories are now back-
dated.
There are many importan: syimptoms, wich are 1not found
n the Repertories, which are very important for selection of

siniimum bæt they may be easily ford in Materia Medica

Sarcodes are cither
very poor!y represented or
absent in repertory. Also nosodes are not represented
well.
Repertory is only a means to an end not an end itself, it leads
the way into a field to a related medicine. It only sugegests but Materia
Medica decides.
The data in the repertories does not include inforanation that
could help the prescription on the basis of the past history, or the
family history.
Repertory cannot give guidance about potency, doses ard
repetition of remedy. So. physician who handles repertory must be
thorcugh kancwledge in all respects.
Repertorization is one of the methods of selection of
similimum, specially-when the totality of characteristic symptoms or
ndividualizing characteristic of mental or physical generals is
present in a case, such cases are very few.
Apart from the Rcpertory, there are other basis of selection of
dhe similinuni, viz., (i) genus epidemics: (ii) causatiom of disease: (ii)
miasmatic history of the individual case; (iv) singular, striking,
eculiar, uncor:mon, keynote symptonms eic.(vpathological
chiracieristics; (vi) enmanometeric findings; (vii) radiasthesia cte.
Therefore, the final selection of the remedies should be decided
by the geníus of he remedy and the disease, which depends upon
their velocity, pace and depth action and their intrinsie churacter as a
hole. So, no repertory chooses the similimum; it simply eliminates
those drugs. which do not and caninot cover the case. As a result our
last resorn is always the Materia Medica.

Qn. What is the importance to keep record
by the Physician ?
Ans: To keep the record by the physician is indispensable to every
true homæopathic practitioner. It helps undeniably, the necessity of
individualizing all the characteristic symptoms in every case of
disease, since they are in their totality cannot be preserved even in the
most faithful memory as to all the essential traits, even if the practice
is only a moderately extended one. The advantage of an exact record
is at the same time of great importance, both for one's own instruction
and for quieting the conscience of the physician and also for a
possible future defense and reference. It helps, the physician to view
the case as a complete whole for the first prescription, for the
subsequent prescription, for future reference and to note the progress
in order of disappearance of the symptoms. It helps a great deal in
analysis of symptoms for Repertory work.

Points, which has to observe in the patient

by physician).
"Right conclusions and effective treatment often depend more
upon the physician's own observations and directions, than upon
anything that others and even the patient are able to tell them."
The Physician should note: - O How the patient behaved during the
yisit. Whether he or she was. morose, quarrelsome, hasty, tearful,
us, despairing or sad or hopelul and calm etc. @ Whcther he or she
was in a drowsy state or in any way dull of comprehension? Whether
he or she spoke hoarsely or in a low tone or how otherwise he or she
talks? What was the colour of his/her face, cyes and skin generally?
What degree of liveliness and power was there in his or her expression
and eyes? What was thë state of his/her tongue, breathing, tlhe smell
from his/her mouth and his/her hearing ? Were his/her pupils dilated
contracted ? How rapidly and to what extent did they alter in the dark
and in light ? ® What was the character of his/her pulse ? How moist
or hot. how cold or dry to touch, was the skin of this or that part or
generally? Whether he/she lay with head thrown back. with mouth

"Repertorisation after correct. case taking and

056 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
Qn. Describe briefly about the usefulness of record kcepiug,
Ans:- Most of the physician does not foel the necessity of keeping
a record of the compiaints of hcir patients and the reatment given
-This is because some of them do not realize its importance and others
find record keeping a laborious lask. Now we consider about the
importance of kceping record.
O Without noting down all the complaints of the patient one canno
assess the image of the disease. In a given chronic case, one may not
be able to assess whether the patient is psoric, syphilitic or sycolic
and this can only be judged by studying the recorded symptoms. Only
by-thorough search a true homoeopath can assess the miasm and thus
be directed to select the remedy according to the miasm.
Similarly, in an acute disease, if the symptoms are recorded every
ime the patient comes, the physician gcts a fair idea of the disease
the patient,is likely to suffer from or in suffering from, such as
yphoid or measles etc. so that an early diagnósis of the disease is
made and the commcn symptoms of the disease are eliminated and
he rest of zhe syinptoms are considered for tlie selection of the
medicine. Thus, 2arly detection of the disease and control of il at it
onset is possible without allowing it to progress.
e Record keeping helps the physician to know the general state
running through ail or maximum number of symptoms. And these
general symptoms help in the choice of the medicine. 'This is possible
only by keeping a record and by studying it carefully. As Hannemann
says, "with a record he can study it in all parts
and draw from it the
characterisúc marks". Sinmilarly Dr. Kent says, "Without records you
are at sea without compass or rudder". After taking
cemplete case, *
homoeopalh goes through the recorded case
again and collects all u
symptoms thai will mak the case fuli,
compiete and clharacteris
and thereby be able to choose
the nmedicine ignoring the cun non
symptons.

In Homeropathy the entire examination of a patient is conducte
with a view to discovering not only ihe general or conmon featurces
of the case by which it may he classified diagnostically and
pathologically, but also the special and particular symptoms which
differentiate the case from others of the same general class. It
recognizes the f2ct that no two cases or patienls, even with the sanne
disease are exactly alike. In actual practice the ditterences are very
often the deciding factor in the choice of the remedy.
Homeopathy does snot treat disease. it treats patients.
Regarding this Kent says, "The symptoms that is seldom found in #
ven disease is one not peculiar to the disease, but peculiar to the
patient, therefore the peculiarities of the patient have made the
disease differ frou: all the members of the class and from al others in
the class and make this disease as affecting this palient, an
individuality by itself and can only be ureated as an individual. This
individuality in the natient manifests itself by peculiar syniptoms
nearly always proninent, and always looked for by the true healer.
Hahnemann says that the physician must realize that he is

not with diseases, but with sick persons. In a
patient we must see a

nmost faithful memory as to all the essential traits, even if the
practice
is only a moderately extended one. The advantage of an
exact record
is at the same time of great importance, both for one's own instruction
and for quieting the conscience of the physician and also for a
possible future defence and reference. It helps, the physician to view
the case as a complete whole for the first preseription, for the
subsequent prescription, for füture reference and to note the progress
in order of disappearance of the symptoms. It helps a great
deal in
analysis of symptoms for Repertory work.
Now let us examine the salient points of Dr. Hahnenmann's
instructions for case taking:
The general rule is
Listen, Write, Question and Co-ordinate
O The first thing to note is the patient's name, address, the ag
of the patient, sex, race, relation, occupation, etc. In the later part of
the history we should also inquire lhis mode of living and diet. his
domesiic position, his social relations, in order to ascertain whether
hese things have tended to increase his malady or in how far they
may favour or hinder the treatment.
In the beginning the physician should advise the patient and the
narrators or attendants to speak slowly to write down what the patient
says and the narrators say.
The physician should iisten and write down accurately all that the
patient and his attendants te!l him in the rerz expressions used by
tiem, in order to avoid. errors and misconceptions but esp. for the
plurposes of comparison as our Materia Medica consists of the very
statements of simple people who acted as provers. in simple
language. They match easily. He has to avoid technical conceptual
erms. which are nothins, but abstractions made and named out of the
perpetual flux.
The physician slhould keep silence himself and refrain from
interrupting the patient unless the patient wanders off to gther
matters, as every interruption breaks the chain of thoughts of the
patient and narrators.
The plhysician should with llis sound senses observe and find out .

anything abnormal in the patient.

Qn. Define about Repertorization?
a department of
Ans: Repertorization is a normative science,
kriowledge, which studies the symploms in disease in .order to
establishing the standard of value and norms of procedure from
general to particular (i.e. deduçtive logic) or from the parücular too
general (i.e. inductive legic) and then finally arrive at a correct
inference in the choice of a remedy. [Or, Repertorization 1s a process
by which the individualization or the 1otalization is done
mathematically with mnain symptoms. This process calculates total
number of matched symptoms and lotal number of grades of
medicines and remedy is chosen from amongst the greater matched
number and graded medicines. Final selection is made with the study
of Materia Medica.]

CHAPTER - IV
Qn. Describe the history of origin and development of
Kent's Repertory.
Ans: flistory, origin and development of Kent's Repertory:
Krut started his practice with Bæmninghausen's Therapeutic Repertory
E i4pptes repertory and he was adding his notes lo tl:em. As KeRt was
1n: more interesied in the Huhnemanniu: conçept and provings. he
was re inclining in proving symptoris han of doctrine of
i571i1giiausen. He was gradually followed on Lippe's Repertory
accordi:ng': he w2s adding symptom from nis own ractice and from
aous aher cependable sources to Lippe's repertory bega:n where other
iuad left.

Though 1he was opposing Brnininglhausen's concept (i.e. analogy or

follow his suggestion, Lee put in hard labour of .10 years and it is
such that Dr. Lee became blind. For the compilation, Dr. Kent also
OOk nelpP trom Hahnemann's Materia Medica Pura and Chronic
diseases, Gentry's concordance, T. F. Allen's encyclopedia, and
Herring's Guiding symptoms.
He also considered Minton's Uierine therapeutic, Bell's diarrhæa
Allen's as weli as Banninghausen's intermittent and remittent fever.
But most important thing is that though Kent has taken those from
available reliable sources. But he did not accept anything in ditto. He
put them in trial for confirmation as far as possible. He was adding
dalty roin his practice and manuscript repertory, wliich. was
originaily based on Lippe, become almost 10 times im volume.
Moreover Dr. Kent asked his students to add from different sources
to his own repertory under his strict supervision. He divided chapter
and topics for his students. For this purpose F. E. Gladwin, Milto
Powel, Mary ves and Arthur Allen helped him a lot. But the ultimate
credit goes to Dr. Kent become he arranged all the data and compiled
and give a new schema to his repertory that become unique, most
acceptable and more or less based on easily comprehensible and
structure based on a sound philosophy.
The schematic arrangement though started from Lippe, but it was
much improved tihan Lippe and conpletely unique to Dr. Kent. He
started from; generai concept. After completion of works, Dr. Kent
started using it for his daily practice.
Dr. Biglar who visited Dr. Kent and went through the works and
old him to publish it for the betterment of the profession. Although at
first Kent was not in favour of publishing but he agreed to got it
printed. But a number of publishers did not want
works due to uncertainty of demand of this book.

Dr. Keat was uot sure whether his work would undergo the third
eaition, and he 'wrote, "Tdo not know how these will ever be a third
edition; neither myselt nor.my wife could read the prof, and I do not
know who would." He lefi behind handwritten corrected copy for the
third edition belore his death in 1916. Dr. Dthrhard, with the
assistance of Dr. F. E. Gladwin and Dr. J.S. Pugh, published the third
edition in 1924.
The iird edition was again revised, compared and correcied witlh
the handwritten corrected copy of Keint. The siuccessive fourth (1935)
and fisth, (1945) etilions were published with tie help of Dr.
Ciiwin. Dr. Clare louise Kent (widow.of Dr. Kent) and Dr. Pierre
ScAnid.
The Sixth American Edition was published in 1957.
The Indian edition published in 1961 and his edition becme
most popular and was circulated widely. Now most of the
practitioner peossess this edition.
A revised version of Kent's Repertory was published in May
1974; Dr. Pierre Schmict took the pain of going through it, word by
word, and detecied ny mistakes in the form of omissicns, grading
medicines. and arrangement of Rubrics in oih Indiarn and
America editions. He corrected it witk he help of the original work
of Kem. Unfortunately when the b»ck was ready for publication, it
w2s stolen. Dr. Diwn Harislichand, a famous Homropaih of India,
succeeded in salvaging the manuscripts, which were in mutilated

Kent's phiiosophy is that "If a remedy has to help a patient in
extent it has to match closely to mental state which represent the
whole image of the patient being furnished by physical general esp.
modalities."So through totality of symptoms make the picture of the
remedy, sill nothing else reveal the individual wsthout considering
the mental state.
Kea's philosophy of Repertorisation is based on the order of
importance such as (a) Prime important to menta! symptoms. (2
Limited generalization. (3) Physical general (modaities). 4)
Characteristics and particular for final differentialion.
Ke's Reperiory is the product of a long evolution from
Banninghausen and other repertories.
The plan of ihe book is to work from generals to particular, a

Arranged of Ruibrics and sub-rubrics in Kent's Repertory:
To find out a rubric at its appropriate place, it is important 1o
know the arangemeni tkroughout the Kent's repertory.
All the rubrics are arranged alphabetically in the Chapter. The
rubrics are arranged fom geeral to particulars.
A rubric starts with gensral symptom or a state with a list ot
larger grvup of medicincs. This is followed by its sub-rulbrics. These

Qn. Describe the Advantages and
of Kent's Repertory.
Ans: Kent Repertory on Repertory of Logico-utilitarian otype
and, in the product of a long evolulion of Bænninghausen and other
repertorics named LiPpe.
Dr. Kent worked out 10 years before irst edition appears in
print. It is.a repertory of "grand particularizalion" based on deductive
iogic.
Advantages -
lt should be remembered that any repertory
wOulk never be perfect one. Because day-by-day clinical experience
are gathering in the line of Homaæopathic therapeutics.

10) Numbers of medicine are more in comparison to other
repertories. Repertory of Kent contains 672 medicine
and Bænninghausen's 3421.
A1) Gradation of medicine is done on the basis of proving, repro-
ving and clinical verification, So there are very much reliable.
12) As there are only 3 grades, so mathematical calculation is easy
& also less time consuming than 5 gradation of Bænninghausen.
(13) Finer individualization of patient is possible with the help of
mental rubrics.
(14) Most descriptive pathological symptoms or rubrics are found
in Kent repertory.
15) Particular characteristics are very easily found out in Kent's
Repertory, whereas there is absent in Bænninghausen, as
Kent repertory based on grand particularization
but Bænninghausen based on grand generalization.
Disadvantages of Kent's RepertorY
Besides the advantages as mentioned
above. there are Some
drawbacks. these are as follows: -

CHAPTER
O n-repertory some rubrics are over generalized where as in
Some Chapter rubrics are'over particularized, e.g. Mental
rubrics are over generalized: Rubrics of extremity chapter
are ever particularizZed.
Though mental chapter contain many number of rubrics even
then soie mental rubrics have been placed in generaliza-

though consider as a physical general by the process
of evaluation but placed in a particular chapter, e.g.
(i) appetite,
desire, aversion etc. put in stomach chapter, (ii) sexual
passion,
Sexual desire, impotency etc.
-genitalia chapter.
Generalities chapter contain some pathological rubric, such as
abscess, chorea, convulsion etc.
No separate chapter has been provided for central nervous system,
Circulatory system.

Cnest, back, extremities. head chapter Kent has not difterentiate

are also less.
(!1) Mammae though consider as secondary sexuaf character nf
temale but placed in the Chapter of the chest.
(12) No reltionship chapter present in this
book.

' ERROR
(13) There are numerous places where the alphabetical arrangemen
of drug is not observed.
(14) There àre number of errors in print and/or missing remedies,
e.g. (i) undressing Agg. Rumex is not given at all although it
shoud be, (11) Epistaxis Ferrum phos, Ferrun met, Gels, these
drugs are not present; (iii) Motion aggravation - Sumbucus
instead of Sambucus.
(15) Drug mentioned in the sub-rubric is not found in general rubrics.

CONFUSION
(ió) In page no. 278 there is rubric "Exertion of vision < (aggravate)
TE 1s not clear whether it related to the variation
of the vision by
thc exertion of vision or does it inean aggravation of other
sympton also by exertion of the vision. There is agai
adopted for Bænninglkausen's repertory.
(17) There are many similar rubrics which
cause the confusion tor
the beginners, thus the repertorization
becomes difficult for then
e.g. Mind FEAR, MIND-Frighten
-
easily, MIND -imd:
(18) Son:e rubrie espetiaily
sub-rubrics with similar meaning app
at different places with sight difference
with the drug,
STOMACH- epileptic aura. EPILEPTIC
(19) Again some rubrie specially sub-rubric with aura / Solar pie
appear at different places similar mean
with gróup of drugs but \
changes in the gradation; e.g. sar:ie

CROSS-REFERENCES (used in Kent's Repertory)
In tlis process, the rcquired rubric is selecied by referring to

Abandored at page No. I is .cross-referenced as Forsaken.
Remedies that are indicated against Forsaken at page No. 49. These
remedies may be considered as indicated for Abandoned also.
Comparative erGss-reference- in this respect, ilhe cross-

[In ocnninghansen's Characteristies and Repertory. ike cross-

relerences are providet at the end.of every Chapter to fucilitate the
selection of the most precise rubric.
Dr. Kent has used cross-references in his repertory to convert

CHAPTER V
On. Sketch the life of Baenninghausen in brief.
BCENNINGHAUSEN (1785 to 1864)
Rorm in Netherlands [His full name is Baron
nyvon Bcenninghausen] in a family estate of hisClemens Maria
father in West
Cormany, 1785. Graduated from
Dutch University with the degree
Deetor of Civil and
Criminal Law. Joined Dutch service and of
IS10. In 1812 he married and
resigned in
went to one of the family estates. He
hecame interested in agriculture
and allied sciences, particularly botany.
He came in touch with the most
prominent agriculturist of Germany and
formed the first
agricultural society in the western part of Germany. In
I816 he was offered
the position of president of the provincial court of
Justice for the Westphalia
district. He was the sole judicial president in
the evaluation of land in the
two Prussian provinces. This work
necessitated much traveling and
later his appointment as one of the
general commissioners
kept him traveling throughout the province
amost constantly., He
was appointed as Director of the Botanical
ardens at Muster. His agricultural and botanical writings
made him
amous and many
renowned botanists came into closer touch with him.
In 1827 he was
attacked with Purulent Tuberculosis diagnosed by
celebrated physicians and all hope of his recovery was given up. His
E botanical friend, Dr. A. Weihe, M.D., was the first Homæopathic
Ph
an in the province of Rhineland and Westphalia. Through letter
ondence

he came to know the symptoms of the disease and sent
hygienic with proper direction. He also advised him regarding
cured asures. Slow and steady improvement followed and he was

a result of this incidence Baænninghausen became thoroughly

society
for
Homeopathic physician in Westphalia. From 1830 he was in closetouch
with Dr. Samuel Hahnemann till Hahnemann's death.
Baænninghausen was a close friend of Adoiph Lippe, and alsaoof
Carroll Dunham. Both of them appreciated the work of Bænninghausen
Of his seven sons the two eldest took Homeopathic profession. The
eldest son married the adopted daughter of Hahnemann's widow and
lived with them in Paris.

A fter
the proclamation empowering him to
practice medicine,
nitehausen founded the sOCiety for homoeopathic
physicians in
wextphalia, which lourished for many years
under the interest which
rolused in the homoeopaths whom Boenninghausen drew
about him.
Boenninghausen was a close friend of Dr. Adolph
Lippe, and
also of Dr. Carroll
Carroll Dunham. Both of these men expressed their
appreciation of the work Boenninghausen had accomplished,
in Volume 4
of the American
Homoeopathic Review. Lippe mentions particularly the
repertorial work of Boenninghausen and its accuracy,
and one wonders if
it was not this, which fired his
interest in repertorial work, which Lippe's
son brought forth in a completed form.

Lippe gives the year of Boenninghausen's birth as 1777. It is

not a matter for controversy, since
Boenninghausen devoted all the time
he had to the
promulgation of the work. which he held so dear.
Of his 7 sons the two eldest chosc homoeopathic medicine as
eir prolession, which was a great joy to him. The elder of these sons
practiced for a time in the neighborhood of his boyhood home, latter
going to
Paris where he married the adopted daughter of Hahnemann's
widow. He lived
with Madame Hahnemann and her daughter, and had
access to
Hahnemann's library and manuscripis.

and its potentialities for the chronic case we must regard it as a means t
an end, never an end in itself. It is often the bridge of knowledge betwee
the physician and the chronic patient; it is across the structure of th
repertory that the physician may reach and treat the patient sufferine
from any obscure chroníc disease condition, but particularly the obscu
chronic condition., and by means of which the physician may return agam
and again, if necessary, to a consideration of the case and its progress
From the structure of the repertory the physician gains the best outlook
into the patient's past condition, his prescnt symptomatology and his
probable future development. To one who has snot. studied the general
repertory carefully its possibilities are lost in the mists of half
knowledge. "Truth rises more clearly from error than from half-truth
and to one who knows a little it is often difficult to teach the fül
comprehension. Therefore, in studying Boenninghausen's Therapeui
Pocket Book we shall glance briefly at the state of homoeopathie
literature at the time Boenninghausen composed his repertories.
After Hahneman's Materia Medica Pura was wrilten, it became
more and more apparent that some method should be devised that would
make it possible to find the similimum more easily and quickly. By this
time the records of symptoms developed through provings had
bulky proportions, yet the only method of referring to the

Let us put this another way, Boenninghausen proceeds upon the
Hahnemannian theory that it is the man who is sick, and that all the
discomforts which have laid hold upon him are a part of his condition, and
are therefore to be considered in the attempt to free him from his discomforts
and bring him

174 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
Dr. Boger's work Boenninglhausen's Characteristics &
Repertory' is based on the following fundamental points/concepts:
Doctrine of complete symptom: -
During the course of
clinical interview, the patients narrates their sufferings / symptoms,
which are not complete. A complete symptom is consists of location
sensation, modalities and also concomitants. Boger has given more
importance in concomitants in relatíon to parts or organs.
Doctrine of pathological general: (which includes
discharges, structural changes, if any; constitutions, diathesis & c.)It
deals with the whole body and its changes in relation to the
Constitution of the patient. It helps the physician to select a cotect
similimum (remedy).
Doctrine of causation and time: n his book, he has given a
sufficient place and importance to causation and time for selection a
medicine. In each chapter is followed by time aggravation and the
section of aggravation also contains many causati ve factors. In
his
opinion, the causation and time are more reliable and definite in cases
and medicines also.
Clinical rubrics: - In his baok, he clarified several clinical
conditions (rubrics), which he experienced by his day to day (own)
practice. In his opinion, it helps a practitioner in some cases of advanced
tissue changes etc., due to unavailable of a clear picture because of poor
Ssusceptibility. These rubrics are usefül to arrive at a group of remedies
from where with the help of modalities, it is easier to select the most
similarmedicine.
Evaluation of remedies:-Dr: Boger followed the same princple,
which Dr. Boenninghausen introduced in,the grading of remedie
mentioned the grading of symptoms into Five ranks, which are a
follows:-CAPITAL rank is 5 (most important)]. Bold [rank 5
4]. Iialics [rank is 3]. Roman [rank is 2].
(Roman) in parenthesis [rank is 1] rarely used and least important.
Fever totality:-As expained by Dr. Boger in his 'Repertory
the fever is followed by 7ime', 'aggravation', 'amelioration
a
concomitcant'. He thought that it helps to repertorize a remedy eithera
simple or any complicatcd cases of fever.

Describe how to use the Repertory ?
Ans: In complicated cases, where the symptoms do not point'clearly

it is necessary" to make use of the repertory. A
eperiory is a compilation of symptoms arranged for ready reterence
where all drugs having a
particular symptom are grouped under such a
eading. This heading or caption is known as a rubric. A rubric then is
101Owed by a list
of drugs, which have this particular symptom. As all
nugs have symptoms
in greater or less degree. the quality of type
noting the drug also shows how characteristic this symptom is. The

abbreviated repertories as part of their text, such as Royal, Neatby and
Stoneham, Pierce, and Boericke.

The ideal repertory deals only with symptoms yet there are also so-called
clinical repertories which, instead of using a symptom as a heading or rubric,
employ the name of a disease, thus grippe or influenza would be followed by
such drugs as Gelsemium, Rhus, Enpatorium.
Certain general characteristics are common to all. In the first place, the
case must have been taken in detail, preferably on a chart. Having obtained
adequate list of both classes of symptoms, we can now proceed to select
one, which will serve as an eliminative symptom. Elimination is the object of
all repertory work. We cannot consider all drugs. An liminative symptom is
usually (not always) a deternminative synaptom, one that is a feature of that
person's individuality of his reaction to environment. Given such a symptom
we argue that inasmuch as the drug to be selected must have this particular
symptom, being such an integral part of the picture, it follows that we need
only those drugs, which do have this eliminative symptom and use this asa
major list. It will be seen that we assume that in this list there is one drug,
which has the totality of symptoms. This is a tremendous shortcut and
very
convenient if the climinative symptom fulfills the requirements, bul i
easily seen that a mistake here invalidates all subsequent work, hence, 11
usually wise to add to the eliminative or major list such drugs as are seen to
recur consistently in the various rubrics consulted. A satisfactory eliminative
symptom then should have two characteristics:
(1) It should be an individual or vital attribute or the disease m
question.
(2) It should be followed by a moderate number of drugs. Usually they
are to be found among the general modalities, the mental, or qualitred
common symptoms of the case.
Having oblained our list of drugs by means of the climinative sympo

tried to use a clinical repertory, we would have to look the
name of the diseasé, and arthritis or rheumatic fever would give us a ve
large list of drugs with which to work, so we decided to use the symptomatic
method.
Our first consideration is to select an eliminative symptonm. We have
been told to look for this among the mental, the general modalities or the
modified common symptoms. We have an example of each in this case:
Thus: Symptom is a mental, is a general modality and O 1s a
modified common symptom. Any of these would do, but it is always best- to
select a mental, if well marked, and it is in this case.
Thus we select the symptom "Iritable, complaining" as the eliminave
symptom. In the list of drugs contained in this rubric there is one that hastn
other symptoms also we will find out in good time.
Referring to the repertory under "Modalities" we see a list of drugsas

This seems a sufficiently clear description of what Hahnema
meant by "characteristic symptoms.

The real "keynote symptom," as taught and practiced by the

Dr. Henry N. Guernsey does not conflict with the doctrine or
tolality of the symptoms, nor does it fall short of complying
Hahnemann's injunction to pay most attention to the peculiar a

On. What do you mean by Subjective
and Objective symptoms ?
.Subjective Symptoms: Subjective symptoms are symptoms
which are discoverable by the patient alone, such as pain and other
morbid sesations of body or mind, presenting no external
indications With Hahnemann's announcement of the doctrine of the
Totality of symptoms as the basis of the homoeopathic prescription, it
became possible for the first time in the history of medicine to utilize
all the phenomena of disease. Prior to Hahnemanin's
time two of 'the

symptoms were

186 GUIDE TO REPERTORY
Objective Symptoms- Hahnemann defines objective symptome
as "the expression of disease in the sensations and functions-of that
side of the organism exposed to the senses ot the physician and
bystanders." In this peculiar definition there is an ailusion to his
definition of disease as a dynamical disturbance of the vital force and
of Medicine as, "a pure science of experience, which can and must
rest on clear facts and sensible phenomena clearly cognizable by the
senses." There is also reminder that there is more in an objective
symptom than is perceptible to the eye alone. The subjective
"sensations and functions" of the visibly affected organ or part are to
be considered as well as the purely objective signs. Hahnemann here
implies that functional and sensational disturbances preceded organic
changes; and this is consistent with his basic premise that all disease
is primarily a dynamical disturbance of the life principle. He never
loses sight of this fundamental conception of the nature of disease.
Qn. What do you mean by Totality of Symptoms?
Clarify and discuss all the point in details.
Totality of Symptoms:- " Totality of Symptoms" is an expression
peculiar to homoeopathy which requires special attention. It is highly
important to understand exactly what it means and involves, because the
totality of the symptoms is the true and only basis for every
homoeopathic prescription.
Hahnemann in his Organon of Medicine (§ 6) says- *
The ensemble
or totality of these available signs or. symptoms, represents in its fu
extent the disease itself; that is, they constitute the true and only
which the mind is capable of conceiving." The expression formo
has a two-folu
meaning. l1 represents.the disease and it also represents the remedy,

ProcesS
After case taking the characteristic symptom from the case recorded
should be picked up from which one very uncommon, peculiar or rare or
strange symptom is to be selected for the purpose of repertorisation. This
symptom must be general one during repertorisation the medicines under
these symptoms are recorded with their gradation. Then the medicines
from rest of the rubrics are recorded matching with the tirst tabulated
medicines are rejected. Finally the highest matching and graded medicin
is selected.as indicated medicine.
Utility- 0 These are used in repertorisation by eliminating
process.e With the help ofthese symptoms the repertorisation becomes
very easy and less laborious and still with most favourable results.
Rubric- Rubric is symptom nominee of Materia Medica or language
of patient, there are some difference between the language of. Materia
Medica and language of patient and language of repertory.
The language of repertory is known as rubric. As a Repertorian, our
irst duty is to transfer the language of patient or the symptom of
Materia
Medica into the language of repertory, when we will be able to transter
into the language of repertory correctly the
correct rubrics will be
eliminated or established.

Qn. What do you mean by Evaluation of symptoms?

Describe the importance of evaluation of symptoms
in Repertorization. .
Ans -
In applying the law of similar we have to know the
values of symptom. Every symptom has to be given value relative
its importance. Every symptom has to be judged according to
from certain angles and
from certain viewpoints. Evaluation of symptoms

Qn. Explain the methods of repertorisation ánd utility of
Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book in practice.
Ans: - Regarding construction and philosophy of Therapeutic Pocket
Book, it is evident that the book may be utilized for the repertorisation
some types of cases, viz., (1) Those cases with complete symptoms. (2) of
Those
cases where generals are lacking. (3). Those cases with
prominent
concomitants., (4) Those cases with prominent sensations and
modalities in
some parts but indistinct in other parts. (5) Cases

The following are the remarks of Dr. H. A. Roberts,
"In addition casés
where thcre are confusing symptoms, many or a
few or where the remedy
likeness is veiled, we can refer to the Therapeutic
Pocket Book, so as to bring
order out of chaos and the remedy will stand."
However, there are 2 methods

This is a good method for starting and a safe one. But it is a

Jaborious method.

) Using an Eliminating Rubric- In this methoda very important

and essential symptom of the case is taken first as an eliminating

symptom. The remedies found in this rubric are noted down in the
first column and these alone are considered when going through the

remaining rubrics. The remedies not found in this first eliminating

symptoms are not at all considered. This method, of course, cuts
down the time
taken for Repertorization. But it is a risky method
ecause if by
chance the symptom aken is really not the correct
ymptom or if by chance in this first eliminating rubric, the real
ynappens to be missing, and then the Repertorization is nkely

which cover both rubrics. This cut down the time and labour.
Note-If by will using methods 5, 4, 3 and 2 no remedy comes through,
the repertorian have to work out the case by method 1.] -

Qn. Describe the Hahnemann's, Bænninghausen's

and Kent's method of Repertorisation?
Ans: (1) Hahnemann's and Bænninghausen method: In these
method case is considered from the group aspect of locality, sensation,
modality, concomitant. Baenninghausen consider the totality is
represented by some total of all characteristic feature of the case that
helps to distinguish one patient from the other, from an apparently
similar condition. Thus it was the group that was all-important not the
individual symptomns.
(2) Kent's method: - Here a case is consider from its presenting
aspect through which the highest expression of individuality is persist,
here we start with mental, then physical mental symptoms, followed by
the particular symptom of a case but always taking into the account
group aspect of location sensation, modality, remedies are also graded.
(3) Third is applicable to those cases where mental symptoms are
all together lacking or non-descriptive or are so common as to
valueless, here we start with physical general, mental followed by be
particulars.
(4) Applicable to those cases with a few symptoms where
symptoms are not descriptive or low evaluation. This method consists the on
the selection of one striking peculiar unusual symptom as a "Key"
symptom and they offer other sub-rubrics.

Construction:-
It consist of 2 subject-(1) the booklets, and
(2) the cards.

() The booklet comprises the lists of rubrics with their serial

number or code numbers. It also comprises some philosophical
backgrounds and process of working and illustrations and drawback.
2 Cards are various kinds but mainly contain either the names
of medicine or code number of medicines
PROCESS In this process different card of various indicated
rubrics are kept one after another according to their evaluation and
finally one or few notes are found thoroughly. These are indicated
medicines, which should be selected finally after consultation with
authorized Materia Medica.
ADVANTAGE -
It is very much helpful to a busy homæopath as it saves much
times and energy by reducing the amount of paper work, as there is
no necessity to write down the rubric and medicines.
A skilled experienced homæopath can use it to his complete
advantage and satisfaction, because it quickly guides
him to an
indicated remedy or group of medicines.

Repertorization does not mean mechanical repertorization. Totality of

peculiar cOncomitant or an unusual condition may determine the totality of

Qn. What do youmean by classical method of

Repertorization? Mention in brief course of
the modern method of Repertorisation.
Ans: Classical Method of Repertorization means Repertorization done

and sub-rubrics.
(3) Name of the patient, date of repertorise, diagnosis, anamnesis
and miasms are recorded in a speçified space.

ADVANTAGE OF REPERTORY.
Bxample No. 1 Repertorization aids as an understanding of the auxiliary medicines, i.e. second
and third in order of importance.
Kent in his Homocopathic Philosophy describes, that it is always safe to have a second remedy
"

at hand.because when the visibly indicated remedy does not bring aboút the expected results, then the
second best remedy should be tried." Here is an example of a case.
A woman of mild disposition complains of unconsciousness during menses. Menses are frequent
and too early. Patient is a hot blooded with over-sensitiveness to heat. Other symptoms are impaired
hearing, constant dryness inside the nose, pale face, eructations tasting of food, pain in the chest during
cOugh and general weakness with nervousness.
However. any symptoms during menses are most important as it falls under the generals,
corresponding to the individual as a whole. The symptom of unconsciousness during menses

Example No. 5 Repertorization teaches more about Materia Medica and widens the range of
therapeutic field.
Here, there is a case of dropsy to cure and have noted down the symptoms, viz., scanty urine,
rheumatic condition etc. The final remedy selected is Apocynum. But when we consult Kent's Materia
Medica for th final decision, wherein we find the Apocyum patients are worse from cold and cold
applications, whereas Apis mellifica patients though have the same symptoms are better from cold and cold
applications. When we consult îhe patient he says that his condition is better in a cold atmosphere and by
cold applications. Then we immediately change the prescription from Apocynum to Apis melliica only
because of this modality. By this way repertoryteaches us more about Materia Medica and widens our field
of prescription.

he concomitant symptom of ravenous hunger is one, which seemingly has no relationship to the
case, but it actually occurs in distinct relationship to the case and is a most interesting concomitant.

The symptom of discharge from the ear might seem to have no relationship to the case, but since
we find no rubric in Boenninghausen's Pocket Book relating to the suppression
of ear discharges, and since
it was one of the first symptoms present in the chronic constitutional condition of this patient, we are
certainly justified in using it in our analysis.
From these 14 rubrics, then, we worked this case.

 GUIDE TO REPERTORY 285
Let us revise and remember what our elders (viz, Eminent
Plysicians) said about Repertory, Health, Materia Medca &c.
There is a need and it may be truthfully said, an urgent demand
for a repertory. which will enable the physician to find quickly,
certainly and desired symptoms in tlhe Materia Medica, together
wi
the indicated remedy." Dr. WRlium D. Gentry
"The need for the repertory comes fro the character of
Homoeopathy itself." --Dr. Barthel Dr. Will Khunker.
The use of the Repertory is one of the higher branches of our art
and before it can be mastered the law governing the Homoeopat ic
reatment and cure of diseases, as given to us in the 'Organon of
Medicine and Chronic Diseases must be learnt."
The Repertory was never made or intended to take the place of
the Materia Medica. I cannot lay too great stres on the fact that it
must never replace our constant study and use of the pathogenesis ot
our remedies, it should be used as an index to lighten the task of
memory in storing the yast symptomatology of our remedies."
" our reasoning has been correct and from if the technique of selecting
is without a flaw, the remedy.emerging repertorial study must
be mathematically the correct remedy." Dr. Glen Irving Bidwell

This is due to the fact that

having done this the particulars are then gone into and the remedy
which runs through the general rubrices is found to have the particular
symptoms, this will aid in its choice as the one to be prescribed."
Dr. Borland, MD, explained in his Homoeopathy in Theory &Practice,
which as follows:- "n the treatment of chronic case where one comes
across mental characteristics which are so marked as to make the patient
appear to be abnormal compared with the average then such abnormality
would have to b taken into consideration in prescribing for case, although
there is no departure from what is accepted as his own individual normal
state; whereas in the treatment of acute and sub-acute conditions it is
much more important to confine one's attention to departure from the
patient's normal rather than departure from the average of humanity".
