This document discusses the history and features of A Concise Repertory of Homoeopathic Medicines. It was conceived by Dr. Salini Mandal to provide a concise and handy repertory arranged in alphabetical order. With help from friends like Mr. S.L Kapadi and Dr. (Mrs) Homai A Merchant, Dr. Mandal compiled the repertory over many years, adding to it based on clinical experience. The repertory lists remedies alphabetically without philosophy. It contains rubrics for parts of the body with related subrubrics and includes many rubrics not found in other repertories.

knew about the idea, came to his help with
a skeletal copy of this work.

check and recheck it. The skeletal work was
prepared by Mr.Kapadi from authors rough
draft, notes etc of Marathi repertory. The
author had to agree with Mr.Kapadi.

and made many additions.
Dr.(Mrs) Homai A Merchant who used to
come to the author for guidance saw this
hand written work and offered to type it.
