6. in number of cross references between rubrics undertaken for the introduction of this repertory. The rubrics are arranged alphabetically, main and sub rubrics are in English and Hindi. Authors profile : An enormous amount of work during the last several years has gone in to integrating the important sources of the past in to the complete repertory. The percentage materials from old sources has been substantially increased with additions from like of T.F.Allen, Jahr, Farrington, Clarke, Lippe, etc. Some authors like Hahnemann, Boger, Kent and Knerr who were already well represented in the last six versions of complete repertory / repertorium universale.

7. About 15,000 additions from contemporary homoeopathic magazines and hundreds of additions from internet magazines. 14 – remedy pictures have been added since 2010. Nearly 3,00,000, additions from John Henry Clarke’s clinical materia medica of mainly the smaller remedies, out of 1, start of 2 and 3. Structural changes : In order to make the information easier to access the following structural changes made for the 2008 edition. 1,The ‘Ailments from’ rubrics were arranged under the mind section, previously some of these (ex, anger

8. Vexation agg, Anguish agg, Anticipation, Foreboding, Presentiment agg, and Anxiety agg) were contained in the generalities section. 2, In extremities section all specific locations under “Upper arm”, and “Lower arm”, i.e., upper arm elbow, ankles feet, etc were moved upper level in the hierarchy, now we can open extremities pain and go directly to feet or hands, etc, that means a lot of rubrics have become much more easy to reach, being less deeply embedded in the hierarchy of the repertory. 3, In the mind section, body parts in delusions were moved up a level from the ‘body parts’ sub- rubric, ex, delusion body, body parts hands becomes delusions, body hands, same as in body parts in dreams section.

9. 4, Mind section rubrics featuring animals in fears, dreams and delusions were moved up a level in the hierarchy so that, for instance; Fear animals; dogs, becomes Fear; dogs 5, In the main rubric of all the sections the generalized modalities were merged with the phenomina. 6, The specific taste, discolouration and smell /odours were taken out of their main rubrics when appropriate and moved up a level in the hierarchy, enabling the user to go to specific discolouration, taste or odour directly. 7, In speech and voice, the main rubrics now begin with the descriptive term, ex, speech awkward

10. becomes Awkward speech. 8, Originally the third degree was the highest degree available in the repertory, but in later versions the fourth degree is amalgamated. (gradation). 9, In the complete repertory 2011, over 400 remedies have 50% more information than the complete repertory 2009. Over 800 remedies have 25% more information compared to 2009 edition. Over 1440 remedies with 10% more informations compared to 2009 edition. Over 28,000 new rubrics compared to complete repertory 2009, the result of extensive additions of material from mostly Clarke. 10, Many corrections , especially to so called ‘double’ rubrics merged in to one, and further streamlining of expressions and meaning.

11. Repertory guide : The major repertories used in this centuary have been basic repertories and modern repertories, obviously these are all excellent repertories, but all have their mistakes and short comings. The richness and accuracy of our repertories is of vital importance since we use them as the primary tools to lead us towards the choice of similimum. There fore we need a repertory that covers as much relevant information as possible and has as many of the rubrics as possible verified back to their original sources. 1, To be reliable the repertory should refer to the oldest source of an addition rather than a later one.

12. 2, To maintain continuity it should show the related page number for each rubric for the major repertories. 3, To help new and experienced practitioners to find exactly what they are looking for it should have extensive cross reference. 4, And to enable us to zero in on the similimum it should have all of the additions from every available reliable source. Origin and construction : The sources of information : The sources of information used to create this repertory came from the first, third and sixth American editions of Kent’s repertory.

13. This information was combined with many corrections and additions found in : 1, Homoeopathic journals. 2, Pierre Schmidt and Diwan Harish Chand’s final general repertory (of Kent’s). 3, Jost Kunzli’s Repertorium generale. 4, Sivaraman’s additions and corrections to Kent's repertory. 5, Boger’s additions to Kent’s repertory. 6, CCRH’s correction to Boger Boenninghausens repertory. In addition to corrections above, extensively verified and corrected remedy abbreviations that have been confusing, ex, am-br in to ambr,ect.

CALC Textual changes made in complete repertory comparing to Kent’s repertory : 1, The hierarchy and text of each rubric have been examined and inconsistencies have been corrected.

16. 2, The most important word in a rubric was moved to beginning of the rubric, ex, ‘during urination’ was changed to ‘urination during’. 3, The rubric were re-ordered alphabetically for the hierarchy used in Kent’s repertory and that hierarchy has been improved compared to Kent’s. The hierarchy of the rubrics was restructured of following format : General, side (one side, left, right), time (agg and amel), modalities, concordance, extending to, localization and sensation (pain). 4, All of the ‘agg’ rubrics with ‘amel’, sub-rubrics were recognized, ex, stooping ‘agg’ ‘amel’, etc. 5, Older terminology was replaced, when clearly need by more modern terminology following the

17. American English spelling , ex, miscarriage is included in abortion. 6, The text of the rubrics, when unclear, has been corrected to match its materia medica source text. 7, Replaced the inconsistent use of several words with the similar meaning rubric by a single word through out, ex, micturation becames urination and qualmishness became nausea. 8, Different abbreviations for one and the same remedy were put together, ex, kaol and alum-sil became alum-sil. 9, The remedies in each rubric were re ordered Alphabetically according to the alphabetical order of abbreviations instead of the alphabetic order of the

18. full name of the remedies. 10, Some remedy abbreviations have been changed to ensure less confusion about what each abbreviations denotes. The confusion was particularly marked for the mineral salts, metals, acidums and aceticums, ex, aceticum, aceticas ends in –acet, previously –a or –ac. Alkaloids ends in –in, eg, Dub was changed to Dubin, coni-br was changed to Conin-br, likewise all are changed. 11, Dreams rubrics have been put in mind chapter, speech in mind chapter is changed to new chapter ‘voice and speech’. Forehead in head and face chapter moved to face chapter. Desire and aversion rubrics in stomach have been moved to generalities chapter under food and drinks.

19. 12, The body anxieties and apprehension have been included in the mind chapter under anxiety. Ex, stomach anxiety has been included in Mind anxiety stomach in. 13, In all chapters discolourations and eruptions rubrics has been recognized so that all of the sub rubrics now fit the same hierarchical layout. The layout is the general rubric,, then sub-rubrics concerning the time modalities, the general modalities and the locations, followed by specific colours or specific type of eruptions with their specific locations as sub-rubrics. 14,In all chapters the main pain rubrics, except for the head pain chapter and the extremities pain chapter, have been reorganized hierarchically.

20. The all start with general, with the sub-rubrics arranged by the time modalities, the general modalities and causations and the ‘extending to’ rubrics followed by the pain types including, wandering, radiating, and pulsating/throbbing, that were formerly found in the sub-rubrics of pain general. The rubrics pain from the head and extremities chapter have been moved to their own chapters in order to minimize confusion. 15, Several body locations have been moved from more than one chapter to the one chapter in order to be consistent. Forehead as a location could be found in both the face chapter and the head chapter. It is now contained in the face chapter with

21. cross-reference at the old location. 16, All noises in all different chapters have been put together, like in the ear chapter, under the main rubric noises. 17, In line with hand written suggestion by Kent as found in P. Schmidt’s copies of kent’s repertory new chapters have been created for smell and taste. 18, The aversion and desire rubrics in stomach have been moved to the generalities chapter where they can be found combined under the main rubric food and drinks. 19, In the stomach chapter the indigestion and disordered rubrics have been recognized so that now the indigestion rubric contains all the modalities

22. around indigestion and disordered and the disordered rubric contains all specific foods that cause indigestion or disordered stomach. 20, In the abdomen chapter all epigastrium locations have been moved to the stomach chapter and have been put in the general stomach rubrics there. 21, In the stool chapter all colours have been put under the main rubric colour similar to urine chapter. 22,In the male and female chapters the rubrics for excitement, sexual passion, desire diminished have been recognized in to sexual desire with diminished or increased as sub-rubrics. In the female chapter the rubrics menses, leucorrhoea and lochia have been recognized with all general modalities under the

23. rubric general followed by the rubrics describing the appearance of the menses, leucorrhoea and lochia. 23, A new chapter has been created containing those speech rubrics from mind and mouth chapters that are related to speech production problems and the voice rubrics formerly found in the larynx and trachea chapter. The rubrics of speech related to emotional background have been placed in the mind chapter. 24,The fever chapter has been renamed to Fever, Heat. The Chill chapter to Chill Chilliness. The main rubric chilliness in here is confusing and could possible be combined with similar rubrics in generalities chapter.

24. 25, In the skin chapter all the pains have been put under pain. 26, In generalities abuse of several substances and poisoning by several substances have been put under the main rubric Abuse of, Poisoning with. Repertory page reference : Page reference to Kent’s repertory[k], the synthetic repertory [sI or sII or sIII] and repertorium generale [G] have been included for those rubrics that are mentioned in these repertories. Eg, mental [K95, SI23, G76] indicating the rubric is found in kent’s repertory on page 95, in the synthetic repertory vol- I in column 23 and repertorium generale on page 76. THANK YOU
