4. The mind
Which plays the vital role in homoeopathic prescription has been high lightened

patient has been equivocally accepted in homoeopathic pedagogy.

7. Relation with BTPB
Dr Kent’s work only a desirable extension of Boenninghausen’s. location modalities
& particulars.Kent lifted bodily Boenninghausen’s sensations & incorporate in the
generalities section. Most of Boenninghausen’s modalities are also included here
excepting those pertaining to particular organs or parts.

8. Method of analysis
Kent ha revolved his won method of analysis & evolution of symptoms basing upon
them & some thought he has formulated for his repertory. So one who analyses &
evaluates the case as per Kent’s method, finds the Kent’s repertory easier to
handle & to work out.

11. Location of modalities
Kent’s final arrangement of the repertory is novel in aspect that he has collected all
the particulars with their modalities separately in the respective sections unlike the
previous repertories, or his own original planning where the modalities were kept
separately & all the symptoms local or general attached by a particular modalities
were kept alphabetically.

crest remedies while repertorising the case with this repertory.
