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,
Mezereum, Nux-mosch, Phytolacca,
Phosphoric acid, Platina, Sabadilla,
Sabina, etc.

11. ANALYTICAL REPERTORY
OF THE SYMPTOMS OF
THE MIND
By
C.Hering
(2nd Edition)

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:
1. Introduction
2. How to use this book
3. The arrangement
4. Chapters (48)
5. Our nomenclature including:-
 List of Names and their abridgements
 Notes on the list of Names
 Nosodes
 Remarks
 Abbreviations
 Marks and Signs
 Conclusion.
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.

56. THANK YOU
