Kent's Repertory on Homoeopathic Materia Medica (first edition in 1897). (Dr. Edmund Jennings Lee’s Repertory of Mind and Head is based on unreleased second edition of C. Lippe’s repertory and from notes and additions from other homoeopaths including E.W. Berridge of England and J.T. Kent of United States. But Lee became blind and his unfinished manuscripts were given to Kent who continued to work on them). Later on to keep the repertory up-to-date by preserving symptoms and drugs not listed in Kent's repertory and include their confirmation by cures as well to make available the primary and repeated proving of younger authors, the Synthetic Repertory (three volumes) containing only general symptoms by Horst Barthel and med. Will Klunker was published in 1972. It contains 1594 drugs. Volume I: Psychic symptoms by Dr. med. Horst Barthel Volume II: General Symptoms by Dr. med.

Nothing can be known ofa disease except through symptoms. 2. Itis the patient who is ill and not his parts or organs. 3. Symptoms are the only unfailing guide to the selection of the remedy. 4. Peculiar, characteristic, individualizing symptoms, as against the common symptoms denote the similar remedy. The remedy can hardly even be indicated by a single symptom however so ever peculiar. He proposed four components of characteristic symptoms as Location, Sensation, Modality and Concomitant. He comprehended the difficulties encountered in securing a complete picture of the case (lack of observation existed in provers as existed in patients). He suggested that incomplete symptoms could be reliably completed by analogy. It implies that missing components of a symptom could be completed by analogy. Plan of Boenninghausen’s therapeutic book Ic is divided into seven parts: 1. Mind and intellectAn Overview of Repertories for PG Students 23 2. Parts of the body and organs 3. Sensation and complaints. (a) In general (b) Of glands (c) Of bones (d) Of skin 4. Sleep and dreams 5. Fever (a) Circulation of blood (b) Cold stage (c) Coldness (d) Heat (e) Perspiration (f) Compound fevers (g) Concomitant complaints 6. Alterations of the state of health (a) Aggravations according to time (b) Aggravations according to situations and circumstances (c) Amelioration by positions and circumstances 7. Relationship of remedies In all 342 remedies are included. Details of chapters I. Mind and intellect There are very few rubrics (pages 17-23). As it was not his intention to reflect the picture of the whole man through his mental reactions. It was not an oversight as is usually thought.24 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students some examples: Amativeness Avarice Boldness Gentleness Haughtiness Mischievousness Mistrust Seriousness Abusive, scolding, railing etc. Amorous, amative, lascivious, lewd Affectionate Agitated Ambitious Anxiety, agony Avarice, covetous Aversion to school Bad part, takes everything in, easily offended Blissful feeling Intellect Befogged Comprehension difficult Comprehension easy Ecstacy Imbecility Insanity Memory active Memory lostAn Overview of Repertories for PG Students 25 17 rubrics are devoted to emotional excitement under section aggravations.

Concordances (Relationship of Remedies) (1154-1231) Advantages over Kent's Repertory Each physician who attempts to use Kent’s Repertory, knowledge of evaluation of symptoms into General, Particular & Common symptoms is a prerequisite and any error in the process of evaluation may throw away the indicated drug out of repertorial analysis. One has to be very sure as to the exact interpretation of mental symptoms and their value in the repertorisation. It is a fact that in practice, it is not always possible to carry out Kentian evaluation in each case and many a times forceful extraction of generals especially mental general in one-sided chronic cases gives30 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students poor response to repertory based prescription. In cases seen ir: practice, it is very easy to complete four elements of each symptom according to Boger Boenninghausen’s concept of totality of complete symptoms as it does not require any sophisticated understanding of evaluation of symptoms. One has to just separate Location, Sensation, Modality and Concomitants. Each component of complete symptoms can be characteristic symptom of a drug or a patient e.g. Left sided complaints Lachesis Right sided complaints Lycopodium Right forehead Silicea, Sanguinaria Left forehead Spigelia Liver Chelidonium Pancreas Tris versicolor Spleen Ceanothus The list is very long and similar observations can be made as regards characteristic sensations (Stinging of Apis, Burning of Cantharis & Arsenic album), Modalities, concomitants (Thirstlessness with dryness of mouth of Pulsatilla) of drugs. In our day-to-day materia medica based prescribing of acute cases, we are utilizing Boenninghausen’s concept of evaluation of Symptoms. The suitability, applicability 8& value of Boger Boenninghausen’s Repertory for each case is much more than any other repertory available to us. It may be mentioned that Kent used Boenninghausen’s repertory for 20 years. KNERR’S REPERTORY It is an index to Hering’s guiding symptoms prepared by Dr. Calvin B. Knerr.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 31 The order of arrangement or method of classification, followed in the compilation of this repertory is the one inaugurated by Hahnemann, developed, perfected and used by Hering through his entire Materia medica work viz. the anatomical or regional division into forty eight chapters. It is based on the language of the patient therefore the rubrics are very long but they are very precise.

Each chapter is alphabetically divided into sections and rubrics without destroying consistency as a whole. The basic difference of this repertory from Allen’s symptoms register is that it contains symptoms and remedies not only from provings but confirmations. To represent it different grades have been used. I. _ the lowest, a single light line, designating an occasionally confirmed symptoms.32 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students Il. a double light line, a symptoms more frequently confirmed or if but once confirmed strictly in character with the genius of the remedy. I. _asingly heavy line, a symptom verified by cures. Il. adouble heavy line, symptom repeatedly verified. These degree marks tally with the four styles of type used by Boenninghausen. 3 represents symptoms observed on the sick only t represents toxicological symptoms. This concordance repertory is one of the few repertories where symptoms have been placed unbroken by preserving the original words/expressions so that they retain the most delicate shades of meaning to maintain individuality which is very vital in the selection of similimum. Generalisation has the drawback of destroying the fine delicacy of symptoms as has been with Boenninghausen repertories and to some extent with Kent's Repertory. Let us take example of mental symptom — Forgetful. Knerr has listed first, all the remedies which have forgetfulness in general followed by smaller rubrics which have special association with a particular circumstance or condition or are related to a specific time frame in an alphabetical order. This arrangement though systematic and good is impractical in repertorisation process. Therefore, this repertory though useful has been rarely used by profession. In comparison to Kent's Repertory, rubric placing is more appropriate in Knerr’s Repertory e.g. Jaundice has been placed under section liver and gall stones have been given a separate rubric. THEMATIC REPERTORY BY J.A. MIRRILI - 1995 The author opines that it is very difficult to understand homoeopathic knowledge from hitherto available Clinical & PureAn Overview of Repertories for PG Students 33 Materia Medica and Repertories. He has tried to express the thematic philosophy of the study of homoeopathic symptoms by organizing the symptoms of Pure Materia Medica and repertory by themes. He says that Repertories were the main attempt to classify the homoeopathic symptoms so that they could be used in clinic for fast medical advice, but they have several limitations. First limitation is that symptoms are severed and classified in alphabetical order with no connections in repertory loosing their dynamic expression thus similar symptoms are placed in different chapters and remain unrelated. Secondly, the symptoms described in pure materia medica are not totally represented on the repertorial rubrics. In this new Thematic repertory, author has tried to overcome weaknesses of repertories. For example in the Thematic repertory, at the forsaken theme, we have a lot of symptoms with the sense of forsaken but they do not present the word forsaken. The Thematic repertory incorporates the collected mood and 12,500 symptoms from the pure materia medica of Hahnemann, Hering, T-F. Allen, H.C. Allen, Jeremy Sherr and from Complete Repertory by Roger van Zandvoort. These are arranged carefully under nearly 300 themes like Ambition, Forsaken, Death, Helplessness, Money, Religious, Travel, Yielding etc. In this way, all unrelated symptoms present under the same theme and the limitation of the Kentian repertories, where similar symptoms with different spelling are found to be listed far away of each other is overcome. ROBIN MURPHY'S REPERTORY OF HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA RELEASED IN MARCH 1993. It is a reorganized and expanded version of Kent's Repertory with Kent and Knerr format. The book is compact, practical and easy to carry like Kent’s Repertory. It has sixty seven different34 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students chapters arranged alphabetically as compared to 37 in Kent's. Rubrics and sub rubrics within each chapter are in alphabetical format similar to those of materia medica leaving out Kent's plan of site, time, modalities, extensions etc. There is complete reorganization of the information with smaller anatomical and functional subdivisions in alphabetical order. It contains 39,000 new rubrics and reliable 20,000 new additions and updates still retaining a small lightweight size for convenience. The grading of drugs is similar to Kent's three grades i.e. Bold, Bold italics and plain type. The second edition came in 1997 and contains 3 more chapters thus making a total of 70. Dr. Murphy has updated the language of the repertory in many places for which many new generations of homocopathic students will thank him many times. For example “Boredom” replaces “ennui”, “Crying” replaces “weeping” and “humiliation” replaces “mortification” though the original terms are cross referenced to the terms in updated language. There is a bold reorganization and expansion of repertorial information with many practical divisions such as the ones having to do with children, pregnancy, emergencies, the environment, dreams, and delusions including use of modern diagnostic terminology as Alzheimer’s syndrome, polycystic ovaries etc. He has created sections which make it easier to locate an experience such as symptoms related to music. Besides the separate sections which have music as a modality. He has a music section in the Mind chapter which includes many of the other mental symptoms which relate to music. There are plenty cross references and a very useful word index in the back of the book to locate difficult symptoms.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 35 Drawbacks It lacks the superscript code reference of the authors who have contributed towards addition to Kent. Therefore it is very difficult to know the source of the concerned data as well as remedy. If we compare three rubrics of Murphy with that of Complete repertory in MacRepertory: “Deceitful”, “Defiant” and “Ailments from Reproaches”. In “Deceitful “Lycopodium (2), Opium (3), and Thuja (3) are upgraded in Murphy's Repertory, when compared with the Complete Repertory and Morphinum is added, with the other remedies in the rubric being identical. Again because of absence of references one does not know the source of these additions/upgrades. In “Defiant”, Chamomilla (2) and Medorrhinum (1) are added and Tuberculinum is upgraded (3) again the same comments applicable. In “Ailments from reproaches”, he has added Anacardium (1), Chamomilla (1), Lycopodium (3) and Natrum muriaticum (2) and upgraded Carcinosin (2, Colocynthis (2) and Staphysagria (3). There are some rubrics which have been combined from the original Kent’s Repertory, An example is combination of “egotistical” and “haughty” into one rubric entitled as “Egotistical haughty.” The two words describe two distinct characteristics, as originally perceived by Kent, and belong to two separate rubrics. COMPLETE REPERTORY BY ROGER VAN ZANDVOORT IRRHIS Publishers Leidschendam, the Netherlands, July 21, 1996 This is the largest, most complete, and most accurate repertory in the history of homoeopathy. It comes in three volumes: Mind.36 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students Vertigo through speech and Voice and Respiration through Generalities and an all-in-one volume (2,830 pages). Using Kent's Repertory as the core, Van Zandvoort poured in the contents of every reliable repertory he could put his hands on, including the unique personal repertories of Pierre Schmidt and Von Boenninghausen. Zandvoort brought a millennium version of Complete repertory, which is better than ever. It has 9000 new additions, 3000 new reference and cross references, 33 new authors and 63 new remedies. Zandvoort also created a multi conceptual repertory known as the Repertorium Universalis. This is an integrated repertory which integrates the approaches of 3 masters of repertory namely Boenninghausen / Boger and Kent. Sources of Complete Repertory First, Third, and Sixth American editions of Kent’s Repertory Homoeopathic journals Schmidt's and Chand’s Final general repertory Kunzli’s Repertorium Generale Sivaraman’s Additions and Corrections to Kent’s Repertory Boger’s Additions to Kent's Repertory Dr. Rastogi’s Corrections to Boenninghausen’s Repertory Information and cross references have been added from Pierre Schmidt, Kent's repertories and Boenninghausen’s Repertory. Boericke’s Repertory and the most useful part of Phatak’s Repertory have been completely incorporated using Reference works for cross checking the material with their source. There are about 515,000 confirmed additions in the complete along with number of new remedies: Ozone, Bambusa, Marble,An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 37 Limestone, Sequoia sempervirens, Lac humanum, Hydrophis (snake venom). Many additions for Saccharum officinalis, Carcinosin and Bowel nosodes, Granite & Bothrops atrox. Each and every rubric has been traced to its origin mentioned in superscript coded number giving the page number of the original text for each rubric for precision reference. This is the greatest advantage of this repertory as each new information has a reference code by which one can judge its value or worth. There has been a lot of planning in the sectional organization of the repertory. The mind symptoms have been systematically classified and indexed so that the right rubric or remedy can be found easily. Noises in several sections have been brought together under the main rubric “Noise” (like in abdomen, grumbling, quacking etc.) He has changed previously confusing abbreviations to more ged p' y 8 easily understood versions mostly in the mineral and acid remedies. Many occurrences of symptoms have been simplified using the most common word for their specific meaning. Most important word in many rubrics have been moved to be read first; i-e., during urination is changed to urination, during. The terminology in some cases has been modernized and clarified e.g. miscarriage has been replaced with abortion and micturition by urination. Some important changes: One example of a rubric in Mind section: Emotions predominated by intellect (as it appears in Synthetic) has been changed to, after confirmation from text to: Emotions - Controlled by intellect, need to be. This phrasing of the rubric gives it exactly the opposite meaning. Whereas the first one indicates that the intellect is so strong that it overwhelms and controls the emotions, the actual meaning indicates that Emotions are so strong that they have to be controlled by intellect. The latter makes sense because38 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students the drug enlisted against the rubric (Valer. and Viol-o.) both are known to be highly emotional and hysterical drugs and not intellectual ones as depicted earlier. The latest edition of Complete repertory also adds another rubric: Emotions, too strong — which also has the same drugs. This again confirms the corrections. Some of the new rubrics are: Ability increased, Achieve things desire to, Animal consciousness, Borrows trouble, Blaming, charitable, Constructive, Maydreaming, Delicacy feeling of, Dignity, Housekeeping inept for, Independent, Enthusiasm, Teasing, Telepathy, Intellectual. A number of sub rubrics have been added: Precocity — religious, sexual, School, but does not perform to capacity Embraces ~ trees wants to embrace: ozone Extravagance — economy for want of, sometimes miserly, works hard Consolation refuses for one’s own: Nitric acid Contemptuous — opponent for, relations for, society. Disadvantages: 1. Lot of unreliable additions have been made both in terms of drugs and rubrics; e.g. Androctonus and Chocolate are wo drugs which are put in almost all rubrics. 2. Lot of cross reference, which turn out to be futile 3. Many small rubrics with single drugs lead the prescriber to go astray if given too much importance 4. It weights almost 10 Kg making it difficult to carry.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 39 SYNTHESIS: REPERTORIUM HOMOEOPATHICUM SYNTHETICUM BY FREDRIK SCHROYENS Synthesis is the Repertory linked to the Radar project. It is based on the Sixth American edition of Kent's Repertory and contains all its rubrics and remedies. Since 1987, Synthesis has been used as a database for the Radar program in the daily practice of leading homoeopaths. It has been commented upon and thereby improved over and over again, which gives it an outstanding label of quality; this repertory is the best example of expanded version of Kent’s Repertory from 1916 to today. It retains the Kent’s hierarchical structure, therefore there is no need to learn a new format. It incorporates vast number of corrections and adaptations caused by textual errors, illogical symptom, locations and ambiguous wording found in original, e.g. breast is replaced by mammae or chest where appropriate; there are about 235,000 additions from highly respected homocopathic texts, giving priority to the classical authors — Kent, Hahnemann, Hering, Allen, Clarke, Boericke, Knerr etc. Synthesis is the standard Repertory of contemporary homeopaths throughout the world. Each new edition brings more additions, improves the quality of the information and comes with cutting edge innovations. Edition 8 is no exception; it offers more new information than ever, > 133,000 new remedy references and 209 new remedies as compared to edition 7. Synthesis 8 also introduces the idea of confidence levels; every homeopath can decide the quality and quantity of information he/she wants. In his foreword to edition 8, Roger Morrison (USA) expresses his appreciation for this evolution. Synthesis 8 is being translated or has been translated already into several languages, just as its predecessors. The book in English is available and, for the first time, also comes in a pocket size of only 680 g. (25 02.)!.40 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students RADAR (RAPID AID TO DRUG AIMED RESEARCH) FOR WINDOWS VERSION 6 AND ENCYCLOPAEDIA HOMOEOPATHICA (EH) Ic is one of the best program for windows. It uses Synthesis 7 which incorporates all the work of Synthesis team worldwide since June 1993. All the new provings from Jeremy Sherr’s Dynamis Vol. I, plus many other new provings have been added. There is an accurate information on over 2000 remedies, there are 260,000 additions from 320 different sources as compared to Kent (approx. 1844 pages). Analysis can be personalized as there are several ways of analyzing the rubrics which also includes Vithoulkas Expert System. Radar 8 has introduced the function of Confidence Levels. Every homeopath can decide himself / herself which Minimum Confidence Level is used: the higher the Minimum Confidence Level, the less information is displayed, but the more trustworthy this information will be. With version 8.2 you now get the full control over a number of parameters. If you wish, you can set them yourself. Radar 8.2 also comes with new repertories which can be obtained and used separately from Synthesis. The first one which is available is the “Therapeutic Pocket Book” by Boenninghausen (b2), in English and in German. Long awaited Radar 8.2 comes with these new features: 1. With the development of a new comprehensive Remedy- Families Database, it is easier than ever to investigate remedy concordances. 2. Confidence Levels of Remedies lets you decide which level of reliability you prefer when using the Repertory. Change to more or fewer remedies with a click of the mouse. 3. In addition to Synthesis, it is now possible to open otherAn Overview of Repertories for PG Students 4 separate repertories such as Boenninghausen’s Therapeutic Pocket Book. A more flexible implementation of the Synthesis Additions Password has been programmed, avoiding the situation where people would get blocked when making many additions.

If you have a version prior to Radar 8, contact your local representative to discuss an update. 6. Encyclopaedia Homoeopathica (EH) 2.1 offers new search possibilities and an empty document for your own use. EH has amazed the homeopathic community with its accurate search results, Indeed, it is useful to have a lot of documents, but the search function defines which information you find. With this new version we have further improved our powerful search engine. Now you will be able to find all articles written by the author of your choice. For the first time, with this version and with package H4 (English), you will be able to find remedies based on their themes. This feature will also be available with the Danish package. You will be able to import your own text into an empty document. If you follow some basic formatting rules, you42 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students can define a chapter, define to which remedy the text belongs, etc. Afterwards EH will find your text as well as the original documents when you search (for example) for that remedy. 9. Also the navigation has further improved. Shortcuts have been added to help move quickly from one piece of information to another. In the Family Analysis Window, plus and minus signs in front of the families clearly indicate where a family can be expanded or collapsed. In the Symptom Clipboard, the words of the hits are now highlighted. Derails of all titles included in EH is given in Appendix. MAC REPERTORY Is one of the best repertory software available. Classical homoeopaths and graphic artists, as well as computer programmers designed it. There is an easily understandable visual layout using pictures of objects that is very easy to recognise. One does not have to type the rubrics, all the work is done by using computer's mouse. It enables us to quickly find and analyze patients’ symptoms. The program does this in a very friendly and intuitive way. It offers various strategies and we can devise our own as per understanding a particular repertory. It is considered as an essential tool for homoeopathic study and prescribing and infact has revolutionized the whole practice of homoeopathy. Mac Repertory was the first to add Boger Boenninghausen’s repertory in the computer software. Various repertories are available in the program as per one’s choice like Allen, Kent, Boericke, Boger Boenninghausen, Complete, Murphy, Knerr, Clarke, Roberts, Richardson-Beedler, Bach, Ward and Eizayaga etc. Mac Repertory Basic version contains fewer repertories while the Mac Repertory Professional version consists of 20 repertories.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 43 REFERENCE WORKS Professional Version 2.0 and later.

PHOENIX REPERTORY The Phoenix Repertory is based on Kent's Repertory Format, having 38 chapters (37 chapters as per Kent repertory +1 new chapter on dreams). Dreams chapter is separated from sleep as dream represent our emotions, so this chapter has been placed after Mind chapter. Rubrics are placed alphabetically in each chapter in the order of Side, Time, Modality, Extension and Localization. Features: 1. The 80,000 additions have been made from 540 different sources, from Hahnemann to Rajan Sankaran. 2. Mostof these corrections were collected from Reference Works and many have never been included before in any Repertory. 3. More than 20,000 corrections have been made from Kent's Repertory (Dr. Diwan Harishchand and Dr. R.P. Patel). Corrections suggested by Sivaraman (CCRH corrections to Boenninghausen Repertory). a New rubrics have been added. There was a need to add more rubrics because many a times you don’t find appropriate expression of the symptom you are looking for in your case. So, new rubric phrases were created from other repertories and materia medicas.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 49 5. New remedies. In the recent years, much work has been dne by different Homoeopathic teachers and organization in new provings, re-provings and clinical verification of remedies. Valuable suggestions are incorporated in the Phoenix Repertory. Different Personalities with proper cross-references. Phobias terms are cross-referenced with rubrics of fear. Medical conditions are added. New synonymous cross-references are created. se PND 0. All remedy additions and rubrics include original authors ID. When you need to know exactly how a remedy manifest a certain symptom using exact author abbreviations you can go to the exact book and author. PHATAK’S REPERTORY Iris one of the most reliable Alphabetical repertory. Dr. Phatak has included rubrics duly verified by him. This repertory does not take the place of exhaustive repertories like Kent or Boenninghausen but is very concise and practical. For its construction Dr. Phatak relied on the following authorities: Dr. Boger Dr. Kent Dr. Clarke This is no doubt a handy and useful reference book to lessen the difficulties of the prescriber. CONSTANTINE LIPPE’S REPERTORY This repertory was published in the year 1879. It is based on Hering’s repertory published in 1838 by Allentown academy.50 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students Hering’s repertory was a translation of Jahr’s Manual. It also included some additions from Hering, HN Guernsey, Adolph Lippe and Boenninghausen. This repertory is one of the precursor to Kent's repertory and contains 301 remedies.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 51 CORRECTIONS OF ABBREVIATIONS FOR MEDICINES USED IN BOGER- BOENNINGHAUSEN’S REPERTORY D.P. Rastogi and V.D. Sharma SUMMARY This paper presents the results of correcting the abbreviations used in the Boger Boenninghausen’s Repertory, to bring them in line with the abbreviations which are used in Kent's works. In the process of checking, several (about 100) errors in the name of the drugs were noted. The correct names of drugs were identified after a thorough search in authoritative works. This paper presents the errors and suggested corrections and reference. It is hoped that with the incorporation of these corrections the value of this monumental work would be further increased. Key words: Repertory, Boenninghausen Boger, Abbreviation errors. Although Hahnemann was the first person who felt the need of a repertory, the credit for creating the first repertory goes to Boenninghausen. The Repertory of the Antipsoric Remedies was created by Boenninghausen in 1832 and this was the repertory that Hahnemann used in his practice. Boenninghausen worked on making a small concise pocke: book of his major work and, in 1846, came out with the Therapeutic Pocket-book. This became the standard reference work used by most American homoeopaths52 An Overview of Repertories for PG Students including Stuart Close, Carroll Dunham, H.N. Guernsey and T.F. Allen. In 1900 Cyrus Boger made a new translation of the Repertory of the Antipsoric Remedies into English. It contained 232 pages. He continued to enhance it until his death in 1935. He made so many additions and new rubrics that its final size was 1040 pages; an almost fivefold increase. It is probably more correct to call this Boger’s although it is known as Boger-Boenninghausen’s Characteristics and Repertory (BBR). This masterpiece however fell into comparative disuse because it had long lists of drugs in various rubrics and thus required a pretty long time to write down the drugs during repertorization. Thanks to the efforts of David Warkentin and his team, this useful work is available to users of the Mac Repertory programme. It has been my belief that if computerization is deemed necessary for the use of any repertory, the Boger-Boenninghausen repertory needs it the most. In the process of going through the various abbreviations of drugs used under various rubrics for undertaking computerization of this repertory we came across the following abbreviations of drugs under various categories of rubrics which could be put under the following groups: * Abbreviations that did not point to any drug, for example: sts, euh, rhzn-c, mgs, s, berg, cimb.merg.crp, medx, aur-p, mex, carb-b, saes, tap, agaf, calac, saro, turb, sen-ac, pyso, cut-h, senio, pip-in phs, stup, pyng, caun, carb-m, etc. ¢ Abbreviations that were unclear and pointed to more than one drug. For example sol, manganese, amy stro, arum, mer, mag, can, org, chimp, cimb, can, crocc-c, ver-b, chena etc. * Some of the abbreviations which could not be understood as no reference could be found in recorded books of provings. For example: Cioc, eucl, hychat, rups, id, etc.An Overview of Repertories for PG Students 53 The above abbreviations were carefully read and reread and the probable drugs were screened through the various standard works like Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, A Handbook of Materia Medica, Clarke's Materia Medica, Boger’s synoptic Key, Boericke’s Materia Medica, Kent's Repertory (Kunzli), Clinical Materia Medica by E.A. Farrington, and H.C. Allen's Nosodes and Keynotes. When a particular reference had been found for the probable drug it was also seen whether it corresponded to the alphabetical frame of the various other drugs given under the given rubric.
