SourceSourceThe main basis of this repertory

is C. Hering’s Materia Medica.

Added some additional symptoms from later provings, valuable symptoms from cases of poisoning, reported in the Allopathic Journals, which will in due time appear in the “Pathogenetic Record,” now being published as an appendix to the British Journal of Homoeopathy.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION The author gives importance to

the clinical symptoms apart from the symptoms obtained from the provings.

The author feels that it is often difficult or impossible to decide from the proving alone what symptoms are really connected with each other; whereas, if a group of symptoms is cured homoeopathically, there can be no doubt of the necessary connection of its constituents elements.

According to Dr. Berridge, if we wish to obtain maximum benefit from Homoeopathy , we can only do so by faithfully following the three great rules of the Master

1. Careful selection of Similimum 2. Single remedy3. Minimum dose

The above typography is used mainly in relation to the rubrics and not to indicate the marks of medicines.

The medicines are written either in roman or in roman parenthesis in the repertory part.

CypheringCypheringWith regard to the abbreviations

of the names of the medicines, the author has adopted an uniform and scientific method of cyphering, as it is quite time that such absurd names as Hepar Sulphuris, Alcohol Sulphuris and c, be discarded for more scientific nomenclature.

The cyphers of the elements and simple haloid salts are the same as their chemical symbols.

www.similima.com 11

The –ate salts are cyphered by adding –a

The –ite salts by adding –i to the cyphers of the corresponding haloid salt

The –ic acids are cyphered by adding –x

The –ous acids adding –ix The hydracids by adding –hx to the cypher of the element or compound radical from which they are formed.

In the medicines derived from the Animal and Vegetable kingdoms, each genus is invariably expressed by a different cypher. For Ex.

Plan and ConstructionPlan and ConstructionA perfect repertory should

contain a reference to every symptom of the Materia Medica under every rubric where it can possibly be looked for. To effect this he has divided each chapter of this repertory in 2 sections.1. The symptoms & functions2. Their conditions (including concomitants)

Scope Scope 1. Regional repertories can be

used in the study of Homoeopathic Therapeutics as well as MateriaMedica.2. They help to repertorize the

following type of casesa) Cases lacking mental

generals and physical general but rich with common symptoms

b) Cases with clinical diagnosisc) Short cases with a few

symptomswww.similima.com 29

3. They are used as quick reference books at the bed side4. Regional repertories contain some rubrics, which are not found in other general repertories, therefore they can become a good companion in study of such rubrics 5. Regional repertories help us to find the most appropriate palliative medicines in incurable cases.
