Reading excerpt 1

In the selection of the homoeopathic remedy, the repertory has a very useful and important role to play. It is possible that some prescribers who have a profound knowledge of Materia Medica at their command and who are endowed with a prodigious memory are able to prescribe successfully for cases with out the need of repertories but such knowledge and memory are indeed very scarce. These are not to be expected in the average homoeopath. We must recognise that the homoeopathic Materia Medica consists of two thousand or more drugs and out of these the average homoeopaih may have a good grasp of only about forty or fiity. or at the most a hundred drugs. Further, each of these drugs has in its symptomatology hundreds or even thousands of Symptoms out of which even a good homoeopath may be able to recollect only fifty or a hundred Symptoms. We can, therefore, realise that the task of remembering all the Symptoms of all the drugs is a hopeless one beyond human capacity and, therefore, some form of a reference book is quite necessary.
