DESCRIPTION

ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND Dr. Smita Brahmachari The practice of Homoeopathy is a balancing act. We weigh pros and cons to arrive at a prescription; for us differential diagnosis is not only for identifying the disease but also for identifying the drug. In such identification process we gather all the symptoms of the patient, without a prejudiced eye. We do not judge the patient or censor his sayings for we very well know the importance of each and every symptoms – whether it is a mental or a physical symptom. Mental symptoms were used for the final deciding vote rather than for initial identification of medicines, except in a few exceptional cases. Pioneer homoeopaths had this approach to practice that the Mind and Body are not separate but are only different manifestations of the same vital force. The need for such a repertory where the mental concomitants of physical complaints and physical concomitants of mental states are available has been met in Dr.C.Hering’s ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND. This book contains those symptoms of the mind that have been observed in connection with the bodily symptoms. This book is not a collection of mental symptoms as in Synthetic Repertory, Vol-I. Hering being an ardent follower of Hahnemann wanted to revive Hahnemannian concept back into Homoeopathic practice. So, at the end of the ‘Introduction’, he says that through this work, the future Homoeopaths will be able to follow the right way of the true Hahnemannian school, i.e. always to individualize. This is a humble attempt on my part to represent this work of Hering. I have used this book in the OPD only a few times but after going through the whole work, the potentiality of this book can definitely be felt. We all must try to use this book and establish the role it can play in our daily practice.

Author……Dr. Constantine Hering

(1800-1880)

Page 3: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

The "father” of American Homeopathy.

Date and place of birth: 01-01-1800; Oschatz town within

the electorate of Saxony (now in eastern germany).

In 1817 he attended the Surgical Academy of Dresden for 3

years and from 1820 he studied medicine at Leipzig

University where he was favorite pupil of the eminent

surgeon Dr Rabbi, an antagonist of Homoeopathy. Rabbi

was approached by a local publisher to write a book against

Homoeopathy but he referred the publisher to Hering

because of his own lack of time.

Dr. Constantine Hering

Page 4: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

While going through Hahnemann’s works he came acrossthe famous “note bene for my reviewers” which

meant…the doctrine appeals chiefly and solely to theverdict of experience – repeat the experiment carefully

and accurately and you will find doctrine confirmed at

every step.

Hering enthusiastically pursued this task, studying thewritings of Hahnemann, repeated the Cinchonaexperiment, and undertaking other practical

experiments as part of his research .

Page 5: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

• In 1824 he had a dissecting wound in his right

index finger, doctors advised amputation of his

finger as the wound rapidly became

gangrenous.

• His friend Kummer, a disciple of Hahnemann

persuaded him to take homoeopathic treatment

and gave him Arsenic-alb. After a few doses

he felt better and the gangrene was soon cured

completely. Hering was surprised and became

greatly interested in Homeopathy.

Page 6: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

Instead of writing the negative review, he

immediately quit the job and became one of the

most influential proponents of Homoeopathy of all

time.

Hering graduated from the University of Leipzig (in1826). In his doctoral thesis titled, "On theMedicine of the Future", Hering declared himself to

be a homoeopath.

Page 7: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

In 10th April 1835 on Hahnemann’s

birthday he established a homoeopathic

school at Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In 1848 he chartered Hahnemann

Medical College of Pennsylvania which

is still considered to be one of greatest

homoeopathic teaching institutions of all

time .

Page 8: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

Homoeopathic pharmacy was the another area ofHering’s interest and which he maintained until hisdeath.

It was Hering who convinced Dr.Samuel dubs to makethe first decimal potencies in the United states.

Hering used nitroglycerine for heart problems 30 yearsbefore it was used in conventional medicine.

Dr. Hering died at 10 p.m. of July 23, 1880. He diedsuddenly of a heart attack while returning from a housecall to a patient. The funeral was held on July 28, 1880the 52nd anniversary of his first Lachesis proving

Page 9: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

He proved 72 drugs, out of which the

following are most important ones:

Lachesis, Apis, Cantharis, Colchicum,

Crotalus, Ferrum met, Flouric acid,

Gelsemium, Iodum, Kalmia, Lyssin,

Mezereum, Nux-mosch, Phytolacca,

INTRODUCTION

This book was first published in the year 1875

with the title “Analytical Therapeutics”.

The second edition of this book “Analytical

Repertory of the Symptoms of the Mind”, was

published in 1881 after the death of Hering (1880).

This book may be regarded as a Digest containing the most

essential results of our proving and the results of our practice.

It contains not only that which was observed in proving but also

that which disappeared after use of the drug.

Page 13: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

AIM OF THIS BOOK

To collect the all important symptoms, which are

scattered in various books and journals,

appeared through proving and cured through

practice in one book.

To enable the practitioner to review the whole

subject at a glance and with rapidity find the

curative medicine, even in apparently difficult

cases.

Number of remedies discussed in this

book….670.

Based mainly on provings and clinically verified

symptoms of Therapeutic Pocket Book.

Page 14: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

WHY ANALYTICAL?

The root word of Analytical is to analyze.Chamber’s dictionary defines ‘Analyze’ as ‘toresolve or separate things into its elements orcomponent parts.

‘Synthesis’ on the other hand means ‘acombination of separate element of thoughts intoa whole’.

Page 15: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE BOOK

The Materia Medica requires a constant synthesis

in the mind of a reader, aiming at General…in the

numerous single observations as recorded in the

symptom, while Therapeutic requires a constant

analysis, a constant comparison of all the medicines

which are capable of producing or curing the

similar kind of ailments.

Page 16: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

Dr. Hering emphasizes that drug should be

compared on the basis of following points:

1. Influence on organ and part of body as regards the nature,

kind and degree of such action.

2. Peculiar sensations or various types of affections.

3. Functions of organism in their various connection.

4. All the modalities of various symptoms.

5. Concomitants.

PHILOSOPHICAL BACKGROUND OF THE BOOK

Page 17: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

For practical purpose of treatment heemphasizes on:

1.Case Taking

2.Arrangement of symptoms according to

their importance.

NUMBER OF MEDICINES

There are 749 medicines listed out of which 79 remedies are

repetitions. This has been done to avoid any confusion regarding

nomenclature.

Examples: Achillea --------- Millefolium

Daphne ---------- Mezereum

Creosot ---------- Kreosote

Curcas------------ Jatropha

Diefenbachia ----Caladium

Dryob. -----------Camphora, etc.

As the drugs given in the left margin are differentiated on the

basis of mental or physical concomitant. This repertory is called

the Analytical Repertory.

Page 20: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

HOW TO USE THIS BOOKRULE - I

Each case has to be examined according to Hahnemann’ s advice, Organon, Paragraph 83, etc. i.e.:-A. Let the patients or friends tell their own story, without

interrupting them.B. Write it down in separate symptoms.C. Complete it by questions and observations with regard to

every function.D. Never ask a question which must be answered Yes or No .

Consider yourself a tyro if you do it!E. Inquire with regard to every single symptom, about place,

time, kind of sensation, modalities, and connections.

If this is done, Hahnemann’s says, the most important has been accomplished.

Page 21: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

RULE - II

Symptoms have to be arranged according to their importance.

A. Physiological rank, according to the organs affected or the

functions altered is more worthy.

B. Aetiological peculiarities have always a very high rank.

C. In all chronic and lingering cases, the symptoms appearing

last even though they may appear insignificant, are always

the most important.

D. Symptoms of which pathology cannot be related are more

important.

E. Concomitant for confirming one drug from another.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Page 22: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

In epidemics

Take the most characteristic symptoms

• At the invasion.

• At the height of the disease.

• Lastly during the decline of the disease, i.e., during therecovery.

These three points have to be "covered" by thecharacteristics of the drug. We will find in this way apreventive/"prophylactic," medicine. If it cannotprevent altogether, will make all cases lighter and morereadily curable.

Page 23: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BOOK

This book is arranged on the same basic plan that was adopted by

Hahnemann in the 2nd edition of Anti-psoric remedies (5th part) published

in 1839.

Abolishment of the alphabetical arrangement except the names of drugs.

Commencing with the mind, he adopted as a general

principle, inner symptoms first, outer afterwards.

Basic rules of arrangement:1. Inner symptoms and functions first, outer and organic

changes afterwards.2. First increased functional activity, then altered, then

decreased.3. First the parts, then the whole body.4. First the upper parts, then the lower.5. All modalities placed to the related function.

Page 24: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

Hahnemann in his later editions of Chronic

Diseases finally placed the mental symptoms

first; thus he adopted as a rule, first inner

symptoms, then outer ones. This order has

been uniformly preserved through out the

whole work; functions of each organ are

placed first, then bodily symptoms.

Page 25: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

According to the principles and rules laid down in the

foregoing the symptoms, their groups and the names of

diseases, have been arranged and divided in 48 parts.

ABRIDGEMENT OF NAMESAccording to the main rule of this whole work – to enable the eye

to bring to the mind with “rapidity, certainty and ease” what is givenin print – the abridgement of names had to be made different fromany other similar work.

The rule is- in general two syllables in length since errors havebeen frequent in single syllable abbreviations, as in Ang., Arg.; Arg.,Arn.; Bell., Hell.; and many others.

The cases in which even two syllables are not sufficient, e.g.Anac., Anag.; Asar., Asaf.; Cinnam., Cinnab.; etc. have beendistinguished by a third syllable, at least in margin or in some otherway.

Again some abridgements are ambiguous, as Crot., may be eitherCrotalus or Croton tig; Cocc. for Coccionella or Coccus cacti.

Page 46: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

Systemic repertorization is not possible.

Chapters are not arranged properly and no clear

demarcation at the end of each chapter.

Rubrics are not arranged properly and sub rubrics are

not following an order it is difficult to search.

Sub rubrics containing very few remedies.

Drugs, of which we possess neither proving nor

sufficient clinical observations, have been omitted.

Chapter sensorium is missing.

Different type of symbols are used for representation

in the different sections, thus confusing.

LIMITATION

Page 47: ANALYTICAL REPERTORY OF  THE  SYMPTOMS OF THE MIND

NOTES TO THE LIST OF NAMES

Definite reasons have been sighted about the selection of the

nomenclatures of certain drugs; some examples like

Acteae racemosa and not Cimicifuga,

Calcarea ostrearum Hahnemanni and not Calc. acetica (since Hahnemann

prepared this medicine by dissolving oyster shells in vinegar.)

Carbo vegetabilis and not Betula alba

Cinchona officinalis and not Peruvian bark since it is in no way related to Peru

Tabasheer – Silicea calami indici, the silicious deposit in the knots of the

bamboo, obtained in favour of Mahendra lal Sircar, M.D. In Calcutta

REMARKSSome remarks about the translation of certain words from the

German Materia Medica:-

‘East wind’ in midst of Europe means a dry wind, but signifies ‘West wind’ in

America.

Again ‘West wind’ in Europe means moist wind. So, all the terms have been

avoided here and simplified as ‘dry’ and ‘damp’ wind.

Similarly ‘cold’ and ‘warm’ wind is used instead of North or South wind.

Bread in Germany means rye bread.

Bread and butter means sandwiches.

‘Suppe’ is not soup in Germany, but means all dishes taken with the spoon.

‘Gurken’ does not mean pickles, but either raw cucumber or such as have

undergone vinous fermentation.

MARKS AND SIGNS

In the margin lists, four degrees of Boenninghausen have

been distinguished by the following marks:

I…..Observed on the healthy

II…..Observed often and repeatedly

I…..Applied successfully with the sick

II…..Applied very often and repeatedly

In most margin lists the sign I has been omitted and appear only

when it seems necessary to make a distinction from others of less

value.

Sometimes intermediate or higher degrees are signified by II or III.

CONCLUSION

All those who complain of it being too much for them, all who say“No man’s brain is large enough to hold it,” we refer to the

pamphlet “ The Last Events of 1867,” Boericke, Philadelphia,pp.20,21 and the advice: “Look to the brain of Leidy (Americanpaleontologist), containing not only this, but a great deal morebesides.”

If we never learn to unite all of these symptoms, we never canarrive by careful induction at characteristics, which is the true

Hahnemannian way.
