These last two cases illustrate Hahnemann’s practice in the last years of his life.

It is a pity we have not a large collection of cases from Hahnemann’s carefully kept case-book, but the above are all I can discover. And again it is unfortunate that it is only the remedies contained in the Chronic Diseases, the so-called “anti- psorics,” and not all of these, for which he has furnished the indications ab usu. However, I have been able to glean from his other writings many hints for the employment of other remedies, and I believe the practitioner will find this little work of immense use in helping him to the selection of the appropriate remedy. All the recorded symptoms being derived from the extensive experience of the greatest therapeutist of this and all other times, cannot indeed be regarded as “key-notes” to the remedial virtues of the medicines, but certainly as valuable hints to the selection of the remedy.

The repertory form in which I have arranged the symptoms is founded on the Hahnemannian schema. The arrangement under each heading is seldom alphabetical. I have endeavoured to group the symptoms together in a rational order, and with regard to the pains I have followed the classification adopted in the Cypher Repertory. The abbreviations of the medicines are also nearly the same as in that work. To save space I have frequently employed the letters “m., n., e., d.,” instead of “morning, night, evening, day”.
