HOW TO USE THE REPERTORY.

The heart symptoms are subdivided into sections as follows: “Mental Symptoms,” “Symptoms of Cardiac Action and Pulse Characters Not Definitely or Specifically Recorded as Being Characterized by Acceleration or Retardation,” “Slow Cardiac Action and Pulse,” “Increased Cardiac Action and Pulse-rate,” “Ebullitions, Orgasm, Etc.,” “Palpitation,” “Sensations,” “Pains,” “Clinical Symptoms.” The subheadings are manifest at a glance on consulting the section in which you seek to find a symptom. If you wish to know more about the symptom than you find under a sub-caption, turn to the completed symptom (under the name of the remedy) at the head of the section, where the names of all the medicines the symptoms of which have been repertorialized are arranged alphabetically.
