    the lines laid down in the Organon - {U 83-104), write out all the mental symptoms and all symptoms and conditions predicated of the patient himself and search the Repertory for svnin toms that correspond to these. Then individuali/.e .«till further, using the symptoms predicated of the organs, functions and sen.sations, always giving an important place to the time of occur rence of every .symptom until every detail has been examined. Then examine the symptom picture collectively, comparatively and individually, and lastly study the Materia Medica of such remedy or remedies as run through the symptoms of the case until there is no doubt about which is the most similar of all remedies. Cross references have been inserted wherever it was thought they would be needed but doubtless more could profitably be added. Many busy men will find groups of remedies under headings different from the one they would naturally look for. If a cross reference be made at the time it will always help to find that rubric in the future, and if all such cross refer ences be sent to the author they will assist in making later editions more complete Physicians are requested to send in verified and clinical symptoms, and to call attention to any errors which they may discover in the text. Only in this way can we expect to have a complete and correct repertory. It is suggested that those who use this Repertory should first of all read the headings of the general rubrics from the beginning to the end and thus become acquainted with the plan upon which it is formed. Only by constant use can any repertory become a compan- ion and a helper. J. T. KENT. 20og IValnut street, Philadelphia, Pa.
