6. Source The main basis of this repertory is C. Hering’s Materia Medica.
Added some additional symptoms from later provings, valuable symptoms from cases of poisoning, reported in the Allopathic Journals, which will in due time appear in the “Pathogenetic Record,” now being published as an appendix to the British Journal of Homoeopathy.

7. INTRODUCTION
The author gives importance to the clinical symptoms apart from the symptoms obtained from the provings.
The author feels that it is often difficult or impossible to decide from the proving alone what symptoms are really connected with each other; whereas, if a group of symptoms is cured homoeopathically, there can be no doubt of the necessary connection of its constituents elements.

8. According to Dr. Berridge, if we wish to obtain maximum benefit from Homoeopathy , we can only do so by faithfully following the three great rules of the Master Careful selection of Similimum 2. Single remedy 3. Minimum dose

9. Gradation of Rubrics Italic capitals Plain capitals Italics
Roman letters
Roman (bracketed) – doubtful symptoms

10. The above typography is used mainly in relation to the rubrics and not to indicate the marks of medicines.
The medicines are written either in roman or in roman parenthesis in the repertory part.

11. Cyphering
With regard to the abbreviations of the names of the medicines, the author has adopted an uniform and scientific method of cyphering, as it is quite time that such absurd names as Hepar Sulphuris, Alcohol Sulphuris and c, be discarded for more scientific nomenclature.
The cyphers of the elements and simple haloid salts are the same as their chemical symbols.

12. The –ate salts are cyphered by adding –a
The –ite salts by adding –i to the cyphers of the corresponding haloid salt
The –ic acids are cyphered by adding –x
The –ous acids adding –ix
The hydracids by adding –hx to the cypher of the element or compound radical from which they are formed.

13. Examples Na.= Sodium Na-s = Sulphide of sodium
Na-sa = Sulphate of sodium
Na-si = Sulphite of sodium
S. = Sulphur
S-x. = Sulphuric acid
S-ix = Sulphurous acid
S-hx = Sulphydric acid

14. rs – rhus toxicodendron rs-g –rhus glabrum rs-r -rhus radicans
In the medicines derived from the Animal and Vegetable kingdoms, each genus is invariably expressed by a different cypher. For Ex.
rs – rhus toxicodendron
rs-g –rhus glabrum
rs-r -rhus radicans
trg.- trigonocephalus lachesis
trg-a - trigonocephalus atrox
trg-c - trigonocephalus contortix

15. Plan and Construction
A perfect repertory should contain a reference to every symptom of the Materia Medica under every rubric where it can possibly be looked for. To effect this he has divided each chapter of this repertory in 2 sections. 1. The symptoms & functions 2. Their conditions (including concomitants)

16. Section I
Section I is further divided in to 5 sections a. Functional symptoms b. Anatomical regions c. General character , sequence and direction d. Right side e. Left side

17. a. Functional Symptoms
Objects false appearance of (colors, far too, distorted, moving, multiplied, part visible)
Objects, imaginary
Photomania
Photophobia
Sight dazzled
Sight impaired (Blindness, Dimness)

18. b. Anatomical Regions Eyeball Sclerotic Cornea Chambers of eyes Iris
Lens
Fundus
Orbit

19. Carencula lachrymalis Lachymal gland Lachrymal bones Lachrymal sacs
Orbital integuments
Eyebrows
Eyelids
Puncta lachrymalis
Canthi
Carencula lachrymalis
Lachymal gland
Lachrymal bones
Lachrymal sacs

20. c. General Character Sequence and direction
Periodical
Gradual increase and decrease
Changing character or places
Within-outwards
Without – inwards
Directions
Alternate with other organs/Body

21. d. Right side- Gen Drugs affecting Right eye
Functions
Anatomical regions

22. e. Left Side- Gen Drugs affecting Left eye
Functions
Anatomical regions

23. Section II
a. Aggravation b. Ameliorations All the symptoms in these subsections are arranged alphabetically, excepting the peculiar symptoms ,which not falling under any general heading are placed last All symptoms of a nearly identical meaning are placed under the same rubric, according to the table of synonym.

24. Aggravations
1. Time 2. Situation and external influences 3. Posture 4. Touch 5. Motion 6. Head 7. Mental factors 8. Eyes 9. Ears 10. Nose 11. Face and front of neck

25. 12. Teeth 13. Mouth and throat 14. Abdomen (including stomach anus and all functional symptoms thereof 15. Urinary organs 16. Sexual organs Chest and larynx 18. Back and nape of neck

19. Arms 20. Legs 21. Sleep 22. Fever (chill, heat, sweat) 23. Generalities (including skin, bones convulsions, other drugs etc.) The arrangement of symptoms in section II is in every respect exactly the same as that of section I

29. Scope
1. Regional repertories can be used in the study of Homoeopathic Therapeutics as well as Materia Medica. 2. They help to repertorize the following type of cases a) Cases lacking mental generals and physical general but rich with common symptoms b) Cases with clinical diagnosis c) Short cases with a few symptoms

30. 3. They are used as quick reference books at the bed side 4
3. They are used as quick reference books at the bed side 4. Regional repertories contain some rubrics, which are not found in other general repertories, therefore they can become a good companion in study of such rubrics 5. Regional repertories help us to find the most appropriate palliative medicines in incurable cases.

31. Limitations
Being a regional repertory its use is limited to particular type of cases. They are mainly used for reference work not for a complete repertorisation
Grading of drugs-not done
Number of drugs less
Abbreviation different from the commonly using repertories.
