From the foregoing it will be seen that to complete such an outline of the Materia Medica, will entail an almost unending task; almost as laborious in facts as the compiling of the repertory itself. The question naturally aries, therefore, will such a task repay the student of Materia Medica when completed?.

I am personally of the opinion that it will. However, until another edition of the complete Repertory is issued, such a task should not even be attempted, as in the new Third Edition of Kents Repertory, which gives promise of being published at some future time, there will undoubtedly be many change which should be incorporated into the analyses of the individual remedies.

I, therefore, submit this brief survey to this Association. We must surely possess, among our many trained Materia Medicists, some individuals, or group of individuals, who are amply qualified to engage in this extensive but valuable enterprise. When the new edition of the Repertory shall have been published, may we not hope that such an important task may be completed.
