HISTORY OF REPERTORY BY

DMS, DipNIH, MD(HOM) PROFESSOR & PRINCIPAL Fr MULLER HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE AUTHOR: ESSENTIALS OF REPERTORISATION HOMOEOPATHY & CHILD CARE

• HISTORY OF MEDICINE IS A REVIEW OF ACCOMPLISHME NTS & ERRORS. • “BUILT ON THE BEST OF THE PAST”.

OBJECTIVES • TO UNDERSTAND THE EVOLUTION & CHRONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF REPERTORY • TO UNDERSTAND THE VARIOUS CONCEPTS • TO UNDERSTAND THE PRESENT AND FUTURE TRENDS. • TO MAKE THE BEST USE OF AVAILABALE LITERATURE.

• “May The Devil Take All The

Repertories. They destroy that which belongs together and unite points,which are foreign to each other, only for the sake of adhering to the A,b,c of children’s reading books. In order to be able to form a characteristic picture with its lights and shades from them, one would have to carry in one’s head the whole Materia Medica Pura ready for use, and then the repertories would be of less value than ever.”

LETTERS TO BOENNINGHAUSEN BY MASTER HAHNEMANN

Hahnemann writes to Boenninghausen • “ The repertory which was announced without my approval is ready, but as I have been on friendly terms with Arnold for 20 years , I can not look for another publisher. ” • Life History Of Hahnemann, Richard Haehl M.D. vol.-II , pg. no - 263 , supplement - 124.

Hahnemann writes to Boenninghausen (contd)

,1831

repertory was an alphabetical record, could only be of great service in g up the necessary symptoms of ne, if very complete, and this perfection yet to be found in mine. erefore not to be regretted remains unpublished. ”

Of Hahnemann , Richard Haehl , M.D. , o - 263 , supplement - 124.

Hahnemann writes to Boenninghausen (contd) “A

dictionary of symptoms would occupy an efficient and very industrious assistant secretary, uninterruptedly for a whole year”. Life History Of Hahnemann, Richard Haehl, M.D. , Vol.-II, pg. no - 264, supplement - 124.

Hahnemann writes to Boenninghausen (contd)

God permits, Jahr will workout the symptom ionary, and I shall contribute what I can. s gifted for it, and has unswerving gence. I think that it will have to be ted as one large octavo dictionary , cramer’s dictionary printed by vieweg. ill be an immense but valuable work.”

History Of Hahnemann , Richard Haehl , M.D. , I , pg. no - 264 , supplement - 124.

Hahnemann writes to Boenninghausen (contd.) If homoeopaths become aware that the repertories are insufficient for the finding of the best remedy in every case of disease, nevertheless they feel secure when they have such a key in hand and calm their minds with the reflection that “ with some probability. ” Life History Of Hahnemann , Richard Haehl M.D., Vol.-II , pg. no - 379 , supplement - 183.

Hahnemann’s effort in making a Repertory 1805 : FRAGMENTA DE VIRIBUS MEDICA MENTORUM POSITIVIS. • 1817 : A short Repertory hand written 4 volumes of repertory to use in his daily practice, consisting of 4239 pages with slits to hold 1830-32 : Made a voluminous repertory, could not publish.

It is obvious that master Hahnemann strongly felt the need of a repertory, developed it into an idea and started working in that direction, but for various reasons he could not publish it. So the profession had to look upon others for a useful repertory.

• WEBER PESCHINER

BOENNINGHAUSEN ERA  1832 : Boenninghausen’s repertory of the Anti-psorics with a preface by Hahnemann.  His work also kindled a new interest in the area of compiling repertories and during the next six decades, more than 30 repertories of different kinds were available to the practitioners.

BOENNINGHAUSEN ERA Boenninghausen’s era continued for many years and his repertory gave birth of different concepts of repertories, like • - Repertory of Characteristic symptoms • - Nososlogical repertory • - Alphabetical Repertory • - Regional Repertory • - Mechanically Aided Repertories like - Card Repertory

CHRONOLOGICAL REVIEW • Important years  1832 : Boenninghausen’s repertory of the Anti-psorics with a preface by Hahnemann.  1833 : Glazor -- First alphabetical pocket repertory.  1833 : Weber-Pescheir -- Repertory of purely pathogenetic effects prefaced by Hahnemann.  1835 : Boenninghausen -- Repertory of medicines,which are not Anti-psoric

 1835 : Dr.Jahr’s symptom repertory, 3 volumes in German language. Later he published a repertory on the glands, bones, mucous membranes, ducts & skin disorders.  1836 : Boenninghausen -- An attempt at showing the relative kinship of homoeopathic medicines  1838 : A repertory published in Allentown academy by C . Hering.  1846 : Boenninghausen’s therapeutic pocket book.  1847 : Hempel -- Boenninghausen’s repertory.  1848 : Clofar muller -- Systematic alphabetical repertory.  1851 : Bryant -- An alphabetical repertory.  1853 : Possart -- A repertory of characteristic Homoeopathic remedies.

 1854 : Lippe -- A repertory of comparative materia medica.  1885:Fr.Muller--Manual of homoeopathy  1859 : Cipher -- Repertory by English homoeopaths, Enlarged edition in 1878 , Drysdale dudgeon , Atkins and Stokes.  1879 : C . Lippe -- Repertory of the more characteristic symptoms of the materia medica .  1880 : T.F.Allen -- Symptom register.  1881 : Hering -- Analytical repertory.  1890 : Gentry -- The repertory of concordances in six volumes .  1896 : Knerr --The repertory to Hering’s guiding symptoms .

Various other repertories • 1869—Repertory of diarrhoea by Bell • 1873—Repertory of eyes by Berridge • 1883—Uterine therapeutics by Henry Minton • 1888—Guernsey’s Boenninghasen slips • 1894—Repertory of rheumatism by Pulford

but during the last quarter of the 19th century, the area of repertory became over crowded. This created chaos & confusion

• chaos & confusion in the profession prepared a suitable ground for the emergence of a repertory, well organized, systematically planned , and based on sound philosophy. This was successfully accomplished by Kent in 1897.
