This document provides a summary of Dr. Constantine Hering's Analytical Repertory of the Symptoms of the Mind. It describes Hering as the "father" of American homeopathy who made major contributions to homeopathic literature and education. The summary outlines the structure and philosophical approach of Hering's repertory, which analyzes and organizes homeopathic remedies according to mental and physical symptoms. It provides examples of how remedies are listed and organized across the repertory's 48 chapters covering various parts of the body and mind.
A SYNOPTIC KEY OF THE MATERIA MEDICA
Dr. Smita Brahmachari
Correct prescribing is the art of carefully fitting pathogenetic to clinical symptoms, and such at present requires a special aptness in grasping the essential points of symptom images, great drudgery, mastering a working knowledge of our large materia medica and a most skillful use of many books of reference. It is the aim of this book “A Synoptic Key of the Materia Medica” is to simplify and introduce method into this work, so that the truly homoeopathic curative remedy may be worked out with greater ease and certainty.

Hahnemann proposed the law of homeopathy in 1796: “Like Cures Like,” or in Latin, “Similia Similibus Curantur.” Homoeopathy is based on inductive method of reasoning.
An Overview of Temperaments Presented By : Dr. Puneet S. Vikramhompath
As the title suggested, presentation by Dr. Puneet S. Vikram presents an overview of temperaments. Temperament is the characteristic combination of bodily, mental and moral qualities which together constitute the character and disposition of an individual and predispose him to act and behave in a particular manner. Dr. Puneet shows that no temperament type is good or bad, each temperament has its own strengths and weaknesses and with the prescription in Homeopathy, homeopath diminishes the weakness.
In this presentation Dr. Puneet explains different types of temperaments according to different homeopathy theories and views, their strengths and weaknesses, medicine selection and potency for different temperament people. Overall presentation is presented in a beautiful manner with enough pictures and explanations and anyone related to homeopathy and interested in knowledge about temperaments, will like to have a copy on his PC.

SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN ATOPIC DERMATITISsmita brahmachari
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most common skin disorders seen in children. The cutaneous manifestations of atopy often represent the onset of the atopic journey gradually marching towards asthma and allergic rhinitis. Difficult to control AD presents a therapeutic challenge in today’s era. But constitutional homoeopathic medicines prescribed singly in its potentised form definitely benefit the patient.
Two randomly diagnosed cases of AD have been discussed who opted for treatment after relapse and remission of skin lesions under prolonged allopathic treatment. Both cases complained of intense pruritic painful eruptions all over the body. The first case was of a male child aged 3yrs who also had hyperpyrexia which was controlled with Arnica followed by prescription of single dose of Nitric acid. The second case was a female child of 10yrs who was prescribed Hepar sulph in 30 potency initially followed by 200. Prescription was based on totality of symptoms. The assessment of outcome was judged on change in pruritus, AD extension and severity, general and psychological wellbeing.
Comparison of affected skin area between first and last consultation showed significant improvement clinically.
These cases suggest that homoeopathic treatment could be contemplated as an effective choice for patients with AD.
It is important for all of us to work more meticulously, on modern scientific parameters, creating enough documentary proofs as per the need of the hour, without jeopardizing the tenets of Homoeopathy, so that our studies leave no gaps when such analyses are repeated.
In the recent years, there is a rise in the number of people suffering from piles, a condition medically termed as Haemorrhoids. Since time immemorial haemorrhoids have plagued humankind, yet many misunderstandings regarding haemorrhoidal complaints and disease still exist. Proportionately, there is a hike in the advertisements in different media on various patent products that are supposed to cure piles. But the fact is, majority of the piles patients we come across are self diagnosed cases. Most of them suffer from occasional burning pains or soreness in the anal region and diagnose themselves as piles without a medical consultation. Thereafter, they go on taking patent preparations over the counter without a doctor’s prescription. The present article focuses on homoeopathic approach to a case of haemorrhoids.
ABSTRACT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL PRESCRIPTION IN PAEDIATRIC CASES
It has been said that child is the father of man. By caring for the health of the child, right from its conception and removing hereditary taints and carrying it through a period of as good health as may be possible by us by use of homoeopathic system of medicine, we can build up a new generation of comparatively less ‘sick’ people. Many of the most common illnesses of childhood can be effectively treated with homeopathic medicines. And thus Homeopathy is gaining recognition in the conventional field of medicine and has been subject to many clinical trials. Homeopathy is ideal for babies and children as it is a gentle yet highly effective. Children respond wonderfully to simple homeopathic remedies. The mildly sweet pills, powders or liquids are easy to dispense and are more palatable than many conventional medicines. The present article focuses on how to approach a paediatric case and ultimately reach the homoeopathic similimum.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is of clinical and public health importance as it is very common in today’s era affecting women of reproductive age group. It has significant and diverse clinical implications including reproductive (infertility, hyperandrogenism, hirsutism), metabolic (insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, adverse cardiovascular risk profiles) and psychological features (increased anxiety, depression and worsened quality of life).
Another commonest ovarian disorder is ovarian cyst. The treatment of an ovarian cyst relies on its nature, and accurate preoperative discrimination of benign and malignant cysts is therefore of crucial importance.
In a regular Homoeopathic OPD the physician today encounter these two cases frequently. Most of the patients visiting with these disorders opt for Homoeopathy as an alternative treatment option to revert surgical procedures, or after failed hormonal therapies.
Homoeopathic management should focus on education, addressing psychological factors and strongly emphasizing healthy lifestyle with targeted medical therapy as required.
The present article discusses on various aspects of these ovarian disorders. Cases of Ovarian disorders which were successfully treated with homoeopathic medicines by the author are reported here.

Allergic rhinitis is a very common disorder that affects people of all ages. It is frequently ignored, under diagnosed, misdiagnosed, and mistreated, which not only is detrimental to health but also has societal costs. Although allergic rhinitis is not a serious illness, it is clinically relevant because it underlies many complications, is a major risk factor for poor asthma control, and affects quality of life and productivity at work or school. Hidden direct costs include the treatment of co-morbid asthma, chronic sinusitis, otitis media, upper respiratory infection, and nasal polyp. Nasal congestion, the most prominent symptom in AR, is associated with sleep-disordered breathing, a condition that can have a profound effect on mental health, including increased psychiatric disorders, depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse. Furthermore, sleep-disordered breathing in childhood and adolescence is associated with increased disorders of learning performance, behavior, and attention. Management of allergic rhinitis is best when directed by guidelines. At this juncture Homoeopathic system of medicine offers a safe and effective solution of the illness if followed under the guidance of expertise. This article provides an overview of the patho-physiology, diagnosis, and appropriate homoeopathic management of this disorder.

ABSTRACT:
Nocturnal enuresis or night time urinary incontinence, commonly called bedwetting or sleep wetting, is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control usually occurs. Bedwetting is a common childhood urologic complaint and one of the most common pediatric health issues. Enuresis is notoriously difficult to treat and is frequently related to psychological factors. The emotional impact of enuresis on a child and family is considerable. Children with enuresis are commonly punished and are at risk for emotional and physical abuse. Numerous studies of children with enuresis report feelings of embarrassment and anxiety, loss of self-esteem, and effects on self-perception, interpersonal relationships, quality of life, and school performance. The condition can be successfully treated with homoeopathic medicines but require a long term follow – up. The present article focuses on management of this medical condition with our medicines.
Scope of homoeopathic medicines in atopic dermatitissmita brahmachari
SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Dr.Smita Brahmachari
Atopic dermatitis (AD), one of the most common skin disorders seen in infants and children, usually has its onset during the first 6 months of life. AD has a tremendously negative effect on the quality of life of patients as well as family, most commonly disturbing sleep. The condition also creates a great financial burden for both the family and society. The cutaneous manifestations of atopy often represent the beginning of the atopic march. On the basis of several longitudinal studies, approximately half of AD patients will develop asthma, particularly with severe AD, and two thirds will develop allergic rhinitis. Difficult to control atopic dermatitis (AD) presents a therapeutic challenge in today’s era. The present article discusses how homoeopathy can be used as a safe and alternative treatment for such cases at primary health care set up.
SYSTEMIC HYPERTENSION AND SCOPE OF HOMOEOPATHY
Dr. Smita Brahmachari
Abstract:
Hypertension (HTN) is an enormous health problem and is one of the biggest health challenges in the 21st century. Although the condition is common, readily detectable, and easily treatable, it is usually asymptomatic and often leads to lethal complications if left untreated. The prevalence of HTN is increasing rapidly in India driven by diverse health transitions. Apart from health implications it has huge societal, developmental and economic costs to resource constrained health systems, particularly developing nations like India. Further, hypertension is also a leading cause for hospitalizations and outpatient visits.
Reducing systolic and diastolic BP can decrease cardiovascular risk and this can be achieved by non-pharmacological (lifestyle measures) as well as pharmacological means (medicines). Homoeopathic system of medicine particularly individualized constitutional approach has significant beneficial effects on patients suffering from HTN and thus widely used in length and breadth of our nation as an alternative public health approach in curbing the increasing prevalence of HTN because of its cost effectiveness and minimal side effects.
In current scenario with rising burden of HTN posing a serious health threat to health care system of India, the present article makes a sincere attempt to present before its readers how to timely and effectively address a case of HTN at primary level health care set-up with homoeopathic medicines.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.

CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO
HOMOEOPATHY
TO TREAT THE SICK.
HIS MOTTO WAS “The
force of gentleness
is great”.
Author……Dr. Constantine Hering
(1800-1880)
3. Dr. Constantine Hering
The "father” ofAmerican Homeopathy.
Date and place of birth: 01-01-1800; Oschatz town within
the electorate of Saxony (now in eastern germany).
In 1817 he attended the Surgical Academy of Dresden for 3
years and from 1820 he studied medicine at Leipzig
University where he was favorite pupil of the eminent
surgeon Dr Rabbi, an antagonist of Homoeopathy. Rabbi
was approached by a local publisher to write a book against
Homoeopathy but he referred the publisher to Hering
because of his own lack of time.
4. While going through Hahnemann’s works he came across
the famous “note bene for my reviewers” which
meant…the doctrine appeals chiefly and solely to the
verdict of experience – repeat the experiment carefully
and accurately and you will find doctrine confirmed at
every step.
Hering enthusiastically pursued this task, studying the
writings of Hahnemann, repeated the Cinchona
experiment, and undertaking other practical
experiments as part of his research .
5. • In 1824 he had a dissecting wound in his right
index finger, doctors advised amputation of his
finger as the wound rapidly became
gangrenous.
• His friend Kummer, a disciple of Hahnemann
persuaded him to take homoeopathic treatment
and gave him Arsenic-alb. After a few doses
he felt better and the gangrene was soon cured
completely. Hering was surprised and became
greatly interested in Homeopathy.
6. Instead of writing the negative review, he
immediately quit the job and became one of the
most influential proponents of Homoeopathy of all
time.
Hering graduated from the University of Leipzig (in
1826). In his doctoral thesis titled, "On the
Medicine of the Future", Hering declared himself to
be a homoeopath.
7. In 10th April 1835 on Hahnemann’s
birthday he established a homoeopathic
school at Allentown, Pennsylvania.
In 1848 he chartered Hahnemann
Medical College of Pennsylvania which
is still considered to be one of greatest
homoeopathic teaching institutions of all
time .
8. Homoeopathic pharmacy was the another area of
Hering’s interest and which he maintained until his
death.
It was Hering who convinced Dr.Samuel dubs to make
the first decimal potencies in the United states.
Hering used nitroglycerine for heart problems 30 years
before it was used in conventional medicine.
Dr. Hering died at 10 p.m. of July 23, 1880. He died
suddenly of a heart attack while returning from a house
call to a patient. The funeral was held on July 28, 1880
the 52nd anniversary of his first Lachesis proving
9. He proved 72 drugs, out of which the
following are most important ones:
Lachesis, Apis, Cantharis, Colchicum,
Crotalus, Ferrum met, Flouric acid,
Gelsemium, Iodum, Kalmia, Lyssin,

12. INTRODUCTION
This book was first published in the year 1875
with the title “Analytical Therapeutics”.
The second edition of this book “Analytical
Repertory of the Symptoms of the Mind”, was
published in 1881 after the death of Hering (1880).
This book may be regarded as a Digest containing the most
essential results of our proving and the results of our practice.
It contains not only that which was observed in proving but also
that which disappeared after use of the drug.
13. AIM OF THIS BOOK
To collect the all important symptoms, which are
scattered in various books and journals,
appeared through proving and cured through
practice in one book.
To enable the practitioner to review the whole
subject at a glance and with rapidity find the
curative medicine, even in apparently difficult
cases.
Number of remedies discussed in this
book….670.
Based mainly on provings and clinically verified
symptoms of Therapeutic Pocket Book.
14. WHY ANALYTICAL?
The root word of Analytical is to analyze.
Chamber’s dictionary defines ‘Analyze’ as ‘to
resolve or separate things into its elements or
component parts.
‘Synthesis’ on the other hand means ‘a
combination of separate element of thoughts into
a whole’.
15. PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE BOOK
The Materia Medica requires a constant synthesis
in the mind of a reader, aiming at General…in the
numerous single observations as recorded in the
symptom, while Therapeutic requires a constant
analysis, a constant comparison of all the medicines
which are capable of producing or curing the
similar kind of ailments.
16. PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE BOOK
Dr. Hering emphasizes that drug should be
compared on the basis of following points:
1. Influence on organ and part of body as regards the nature,
kind and degree of such action.
2. Peculiar sensations or various types of affections.
3. Functions of organism in their various connection.
4. All the modalities of various symptoms.
5. Concomitants.
17. PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE
BOOK
For practical purpose of treatment he
emphasizes on:
1.Case Taking
2.Arrangement of symptoms according to
their importance.
18. ANATOMY OF THE
ANALYTICAL REPERTORY
The whole book is divided into following sections:

3. The arrangement
4. Chapters (48)
5. Our nomenclature including:-

6. Index
19. NUMBER OF MEDICINES
There are 749 medicines listed out of which 79 remedies are
repetitions. This has been done to avoid any confusion regarding
nomenclature.
Examples: Achillea --------- Millefolium
Daphne ---------- Mezereum
Creosot ---------- Kreosote
Curcas------------ Jatropha
Diefenbachia ----Caladium
Dryob. -----------Camphora, etc.
As the drugs given in the left margin are differentiated on the
basis of mental or physical concomitant. This repertory is called
the Analytical Repertory.
20. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
RULE - I
Each case has to be examined according to Hahnemann’ s advice,
Organon, Paragraph 83, etc. i.e.:-
A. Let the patients or friends tell their own story, without
interrupting them.
B. Write it down in separate symptoms.
C. Complete it by questions and observations with regard to
every function.
D. Never ask a question which must be answered Yes or No .
Consider yourself a tyro if you do it!
E. Inquire with regard to every single symptom, about place,
time, kind of sensation, modalities, and connections.
If this is done, Hahnemann’s says, the most important has
been accomplished.
21. HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
RULE - II
Symptoms have to be arranged according to their importance.
A. Physiological rank, according to the organs affected or the
functions altered is more worthy.
B. Aetiological peculiarities have always a very high rank.
C. In all chronic and lingering cases, the symptoms appearing
last even though they may appear insignificant, are always
the most important.
D. Symptoms of which pathology cannot be related are more
important.
E. Concomitant for confirming one drug from another.
22. In epidemics
Take the most characteristic symptoms
• At the invasion.
• At the height of the disease.
• Lastly during the decline of the disease, i.e., during the
recovery.
These three points have to be "covered" by the
characteristics of the drug. We will find in this way a
preventive/"prophylactic," medicine. If it cannot
prevent altogether, will make all cases lighter and more
readily curable.
23. ARRANGEMENT OF THE BOOK
This book is arranged on the same basic plan that was adopted by
Hahnemann in the 2nd edition of Anti-psoric remedies (5th part) published
in 1839.
Abolishment of the alphabetical arrangement except the names of drugs.
Commencing with the mind, he adopted as a general
principle, inner symptoms first, outer afterwards.
Basic rules of arrangement:
1. Inner symptoms and functions first, outer and organic
changes afterwards.
2. First increased functional activity, then altered, then
decreased.
3. First the parts, then the whole body.
4. First the upper parts, then the lower.
5. All modalities placed to the related function.
24. Hahnemann in his later editions of Chronic
Diseases finally placed the mental symptoms
first; thus he adopted as a rule, first inner
symptoms, then outer ones. This order has
been uniformly preserved through out the
whole work; functions of each organ are
placed first, then bodily symptoms.
25. OUTLINE OF CHAPTERS WITH EXAMPLES

foregoing the symptoms, their groups and the names of
diseases, have been arranged and divided in 48 parts.

45. ABRIDGEMENT OF NAMES
According to the main rule of this whole work – to enable the eye
to bring to the mind with “rapidity, certainty and ease” what is given
in print – the abridgement of names had to be made different from
any other similar work.
The rule is- in general two syllables in length since errors have
been frequent in single syllable abbreviations, as in Ang., Arg.; Arg.,
Arn.; Bell., Hell.; and many others.
The cases in which even two syllables are not sufficient, e.g.
Anac., Anag.; Asar., Asaf.; Cinnam., Cinnab.; etc. have been
distinguished by a third syllable, at least in margin or in some other
way.
Again some abridgements are ambiguous, as Crot., may be either
Crotalus or Croton tig; Cocc. for Coccionella or Coccus cacti.
46. LIMITATION
Systemic repertorization is not possible.
Chapters are not arranged properly and no clear
demarcation at the end of each chapter.
Rubrics are not arranged properly and sub rubrics are
not following an order it is difficult to search.
Sub rubrics containing very few remedies.
Drugs, of which we possess neither proving nor
sufficient clinical observations, have been omitted.
Chapter sensorium is missing.
Different type of symbols are used for representation
in the different sections, thus confusing.
47. NOTES TO THE LIST OF NAMES
Definite reasons have been sighted about the selection of the
nomenclatures of certain drugs; some examples like
Acteae racemosa and not Cimicifuga,
Calcarea ostrearum Hahnemanni and not Calc. acetica (since Hahnemann
prepared this medicine by dissolving oyster shells in vinegar.)
Carbo vegetabilis and not Betula alba
Cinchona officinalis and not Peruvian bark since it is in no way related to Peru
Tabasheer – Silicea calami indici, the silicious deposit in the knots of the
bamboo, obtained in favour of Mahendra lal Sircar, M.D. In Calcutta
48. NOSODES
Certain Nosodes like Anthracin,
Hydrophobinum, Medorrhinum, Psorinum,
Secale cor, Ustilago maydis, Vaccinin,
Varionlinum etc. are represented in this work.
49. ABBREVIATIONS
H. means Hahnemann,
B. means Boenninghausen,
B.R. means Boenninghausen’s repertory.
Model cures have the name of the clinician, if known
r. and l. – right and left side
r. to l. or l. to r. – signify the symptoms observed on the healthy going from r. to l.
or vice versa.
If an * is added, it signifies that the symptoms went from one side to
the other with the sick and is supposed to have been cured by the named
medicines.
C.C.C., conditions, connections and concomitants.
The initials of the words in the headings are sometimes given in the text instead of
the whole word.
a.m.m. indicates: and many more.
S. ……see or compare.
50. REMARKS
Some remarks about the translation of certain words from the
German Materia Medica:-
‘East wind’ in midst of Europe means a dry wind, but signifies ‘West wind’ in
America.
Again ‘West wind’ in Europe means moist wind. So, all the terms have been
avoided here and simplified as ‘dry’ and ‘damp’wind.
Similarly ‘cold’ and ‘warm’wind is used instead of North or South wind.
Bread in Germany means rye bread.
Bread and butter means sandwiches.
‘Suppe’ is not soup in Germany, but means all dishes taken with the spoon.
‘Gurken’ does not mean pickles, but either raw cucumber or such as have
undergone vinous fermentation.
51. MARKS AND SIGNS
In the margin lists, four degrees of Boenninghausen have
been distinguished by the following marks:
I…..Observed on the healthy
II…..Observed often and repeatedly
I…..Applied successfully with the sick
II…..Applied very often and repeatedly
In most margin lists the sign I has been omitted and appear only
when it seems necessary to make a distinction from others of less
value.
Sometimes intermediate or higher degrees are signified by II or III.
52. At the end of the book there is
Appendix to few chapters
Index to the model cures with the authors,
drug and page number.
Index to the remedies.
Index to the symptoms is also given.
53. MODEL CURES
One of the unique feature of this book is that at the end of most
of the chapters we will found some cases cured after using this
method of analysis. Some of such examples are given below:
1. After continued loss of sleep, night after night, long-lasting
anxiety, overexertion of mind and body, from nursing the sick;
great anguish of mind from the loss of his dearest friend: Nitr.
ac.-HAYNEL
2. Great restlessness, confused memory. Red face and staring eyes.
Sadness, weeping, thoughts of dying. Stammering, gets the
words out with great difficulty. Cold feet, restless sleep with
wrong visions. Fear of wild animals and black dogs: Stramon. –
BETHMANN
54. MODEL CURES
3. After over-study clicking noise in left vertex, on walking and
during stool; also in occiput on walking, especially in evening,
when tired: Conium – E.W. BERRIDGE
4. Fear he will be impelled to destroy his life, with asthma, mid
night till morning, has to leave the bed. Eight successive nights:
Arsen. One dose cured. – L. WHITING
5. Cardiac anxiety, fearfullness, frightful dreams; religious
melancholy from pangs of conscience after a misdeed; weeping,
praying; great lassitude, emaciation and sweat in the morning;
painful menstruation: Aurum. - SEIDEL
55. CONCLUSION
All those who complain of it being too much for them, all who say
“No man’s brain is large enough to hold it,” we refer to the
pamphlet “ The Last Events of 1867,” Boericke, Philadelphia,
pp.20,21 and the advice: “Look to the brain of Leidy (American
paleontologist), containing not only this, but a great deal more
besides.”
If we never learn to unite all of these symptoms, we never can
arrive by careful induction at characteristics, which is the true
Hahnemannian way.
