Similar structure to Kent's Repertory, with chapter titles named by parts of the body rather than all symptoms alphabetical. Includes also chapters on 'Time', 'Temperature and weather', and 'Stages of Life'. Differentiates remedies within rubrics and gives numerous cross references.

Under-appreciated! A valuable reference repertory for deeper comparative research. It contains several rubrics which cannot be found elsewhere. One of the best reference books written by Dr. Constantine Hering with his vast experience & practical knowledge in the field and edited by Knerr. Specially commended for the busy practitioner by presenting Materia Medica in a form which will render prescribing an easy task. A complement to all other Materia Medicas, it is chiefly a collection of cured symptoms verified from own practice.

It is a compilation from Hering's Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica and belongs to the class of concordance repertory. The method of classification followed in the compilation of this repertory is the one inaugurated by Hahnemann, developed, perfected and used by Hering throughout his entire Materia Medica work that is the anatomical or regional division into forty-eight chapters.

TOP POINTERS-

- One important feature of this repertory is that it carries a chapter on drug relationship.

- The organ-wise classification of first 34 chapters following Hahnemannian scheme and rest of the chapters represent the reaction of the whole day.

-Organ-wise classification follows the following order:

• Above downwards

• From within outwards

• Functional symptoms first followed by the organic conditions

• First the parts and then the whole day.

-Each chapter is alphabetically divided into sections and rubrics sufficient to allow full scope for analysis of the matter contained therein without destroying consistency as a whole.

-The marks of distinction of rubrics are as follows:

• Two double thick II line is BOLD CAPITALS – for symptoms repeatedly verified.

• Single thick I line is ORDINARY CAPITALS - for symptoms verified by cure

• Two thin double II line is Bold Roman – for symptoms more frequently confirmed

• Single thin I line is Roman Italics – for occasionally confirmed symptoms

• Fifth is ordinary Roman

• The Greek “theta” standing between the cured symptom and the pathological condition, or the physiological general state

• Three perpendicular dotted line, marks observations taken from the Old School

• The hand directs in cross-reference to related symptoms, diseases and conditions.
