This fundamental work written by Dr James Tyler Kent is offered to the profession as a basic Repertory and is a compilation of all the useful symptoms recorded in the fundamental work of our Materia Medica as well as from the notes of pioneers of homeopathy. In this work Kent included the clinical symptoms which were consistent with the nature of the remedy and omitted unverified symptoms. Apart from this some of the added features of this book are:
Articles like Use of the Repertory', 'How to Study the Repertory' as well as Dr M.L. Tylers" Repertorising-
'Dr Gibson Miller's Hot and Cold Remedies' to help differentiate the remedies for selection of the final simillimum.
(iii)
An article by Miller on 'Relationship of Remedies and their Duration of Action'.
(iv)
Bogers' 'The sides of the Body and Drug Affinities' from the Boenninghausens' Therapeutic Pocket Book.
It is doubtless to say that these are valuable articles which serve the physicians as guide-teachers in achieving the desired goals.
James Tyler Kent, M.D. (Born in Woodhull, New York, 1849) proved many new remedies. He advocated the use of potencies made on the centesimal scale. Dr Kent introduced the doctrine of 'Series in Degrees' in the treatment of chronic diseases, 'Theory of Octaves',
'Law of Vital
Action and Reaction'. He laid importance on mind symptom in treating chronic cases. He taught Materia Medica at the Homeopathic Medical College of St. Louis, from 1881-88, at the School of Homeopathy, Philadelphia from 1890-99, at Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, Chicago from 1903-09. His repertory which was published in 1897 remains the most sought after book in homeopathy till date. He died on 6th June 1916 but his contributions are immortal.
Medium size of this repertory has been brought on special demand of our readers to make it handy and easy to carry.
