This became the schema for Materia Medica Pura. It begins with vertigo goes through more than 50 sections ending with emotions & mind.<\/p>\n Kent\u2019s Repertory \u00a0\u2013 \u00a0It was based on\u00a0 the assumption that all cases should be analysed from generals to particulars, from psychological to physical.<\/p>\n View of T F Allen\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 Repertories must be organised in\u00a0 a hieraarchial order or in a simple alphabetical order ( Introduction to the Index of the Encyclopedia of Pure Materia Medica). According to Dr. T F Allen future standard works must be free from theoretical ideas concerning the physiological action of remedies & must classify symptomatology in a form which permit ready reference & enable numerous provings to be condensed.<\/p>\n Natural Hierarchy used for case analysis<\/b><\/p>\n But a fixed hierarchy is against the individualization & we must perceive the unique hierarchy of each case as natural order is deranged in to multiple unpredictable patterns.<\/p>\n Homoeopathic Medical Repertory Eg. All lung rubrics are given in one place instead \u00a0of scattered in chest chapter.<\/p>\n This schema allows\u00a0 easy transition from particular to general chapters & viceversa.<\/p>\n The Alphabetical Format Language of the Homoeopathic Medical Repertory<\/p>\n Murphy shares the concept that the language of the\u00a0 repertory must be in accordance to the language & culture of patients.<\/p>\n Formatting & grading of Remedies CALC\u00a0<\/b>\u2013\u00a0 Bold capital, 3points, Third grade \u2013 If a remedy has cured symptom or condition is cured more than 12 times & is confirmed by three or more practitioners<\/p>\n Calc \u2013\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Bold italics , 2 points, Second grade\u00a0 If a remedy has cured symptom is \u00a0more than six times & confirmed by more than three practitioners<\/p>\n Calc \u2013 Plain type, 1 point, First grade \u00a0— If aremedy has cured a symptom or conditions more than three times & confirmed by more than three homoeopaths it is added to the repertory in the first grade<\/p>\n Other criteria for gradations<\/p>\n Clinical &pathological rubrics<\/p>\n The sources of rubrics in Repertory are<\/p>\n The idea of additions to Repertory from the data or symptoms which is verified or clinical was proposed by Kent in the preface of repertory of Homoeopathic Materia Medica<\/p>\n Modern Homoeopathic Repertories must include rubrics denoting\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0new diseases & conditions of modern industrial society\u00a0\u00a0caused by<\/p>\n The need for a modern medical Repertory Murphy\u2019s concept of totality is based on classical & clinical Homoeopathic practice.

\n<\/b>Introduction is by Robin Murphy N D. He gives a glimpse about origin of\u00a0 Repertory & its compilation, Repertory Schemes, case analysis, sources of rubrics, gradations, format.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n<\/b>Robin Murphy created a new scheme that would facilitate access to rubrics at all levels inorder to provide clearer images of the anatomical, physiological & clinical rubric groups<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>It includes 74 chapters arranged in alphabetical order according to anatomy, physiology, or clinical topic. The rubrics & sub rubrics contained in each chapter are sorted in to alphabetical format. Chapters were rearranged & compiled from the original 36 chapters in Kent\u2019s Repertory. Homoeopathic Medical Repertory was created to be more consistent with Hahnemann\u2019s anatomical &physiological categories & has been reorganized in to an alphabetical order. This scheme was chosen as the most natural organizational method for large amounts of information\u00a0 thus bringing the repertory in to line with the homoeopathic materia medicas.<\/p>\n

\n<\/b>As Kent states\u00a0\u00a0 ( The Homoeopathician journal for pure Homoeopathy No. \u00a02 August 1912) proving of remedies cannot be continued to the extent of producing tissue alterations, indurations, infiltrations, suppurations. So indications of remedies in these conditions must be learned clinically, from the use of remedies in patients in whom tissue changes have occurred<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/b>It includes the contents of the Homoeopathic medical repertory given in the order of arrangement from the start to the last with page numbers<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/b>It is the list of books & authors which are major sources of additions, updates & new rubrics. It is given in alphabetic order.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Medicines are used in the Repertory proper in the form of abbreviations. Here abbreviations are given in alphabetical order with the full name of medicine, its common name, family, habitat, chemical constituents, parts used for preparing the medicine.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Word Index is given in alphabetical order . It is expanded to include clinical conditions, states, symptoms. Common symptoms which are found in many chapters are not given much emphasis.<\/p>\n\n
