14. Arrangements of rubrics through chapters Rubric arrangement is as follows General rubrics Sides(one sided, left, right) Time Modalities and concomitants Extending to Localisations Sensations

15. Structural changes to kent’s repertory/merits All the agg rubrics with amel sub rubrics wee reorganised  Eg.stooping agg.   amel  ,became  Stooping agg,   amel Older terminology was replased when clearly needed by more modern terminology following the American spelling:   Eg . Miscarriage is included in Abotion , Siesta is included in afternoon sleep

16. Replaced the inconsistent use of several words with the same meaning by a single word throughout. Ex. Micturation became urination, qualmishness became nausea Some remedy abbreviations have been changed to ensure less confusion about what each abbreviation denotes. The confusion was particularly marked for the mineral,salts,metals,acidums and aceticums  Ex. Am-a – Am-acet.at-a- Nat- ars

17. Uniform arrangement has been used for abbreviations of the remedies throughout the book and in all the remedies e.g. - acet. for aceticum , acetica etc - ar. for arsenicosums or arsenicicusms - c for Carbonicums - cy for Cynatums - fcy for ferro-cynatums - M for all magnetas - l for lacticum - m for muriaticums etc.

18. The degrees of the remedies in Kent’s original repertory have been checked. Reorganizing rubrics in the” Mind “chapter- there have been some important changes and additions to the rubrics of the mind chapter .

19. Dreams  rubric is mentioned in the  mind  chapter instead of sleep chapter in Kent’s repertory. . The Dreams represent emotional impressions and mental strain. Bodily anxieties  and apprehensions have been included in the  “mind ” chapter under anxiety.  The reason for this is that, although felt in a specific part of the body, it is still an expression of emotional value and therefore should be included in the MIND chapter. Of course we also preserved those rubrics in the specific body part chapter. Example: STOMACH; Anxiety in has been included in Mind; Anxiety; Stomach, in .

21. The separate main mind rubrics talk, talking and talks have been combined intone rubric named talk,talking,talks when their aetiology was a more emotional-mental one . MIND - TALK, talking, talks The sub-rubrics mentioning animals and body or body parts under the main rubrics Delusions, Dreams and Fear have been put together under the header: body, body parts or animals. Example: Fear; dogs, of (Kent p 44) became Fear; animals; dogs, of . MIND - FEAR - animals, of

22. A new chapter has been created namely  SPEECH AND VOICE  containing those speech rubrics from the mind and mouth chapter that are related to motoric problems and the voice rubrics formery found in the larynx and trachea chapter. Example: MIND; Speech; embarrassed (Kent p 81) was changed to        MIND; Talk, talking, talks; embarrassed. Example: MIND; Speech; incoherent (Kent p 81) became  Speech & Voice; Speech; incoherent.

23. For pain of extremities and head, separate chapters have created like  EXTREMITY PAIN  and   HEAD PAIN in order to minimise confusion  resulting from size of them and the hierarchy. Rubrics related to face chapter are purely mentioned in this chapter with cross references at the old location . for ex. All locations of eyebrows , eruptions outside nose,forehead etc.

24. Desires and aversions are moved to  GENERALITIES  chapter under the rubric food and drinks In stomach chapter indigestion rubric contain the modalities of indigestion where as disordered rubric consist of all specific food that cause indigestion.

25. In respiration chapter rubrics given under difficult and impeded are merged and put under rubric difficult Wherever the rubric reorganizations have made there the old rubric will be present as it is without remedies for the easy search with a cross reference to the new rubric place.

26. All noises in all different chapters have been put together like in the ear, under the main rubric “noises” In the ‘ abdomen’ chapter all epigastrium locations have been moved to the stomach chapter and have been put in the general stomach rubrics there.

27. The ‘aversion’ and ‘desire’ rubrics of the chapter stomach have been moved to generalities chapter, where they can be found combined under the main rubric food and drinks. In the stomach chapter the ‘indigestion’ and ‘disordered’ rubrics have been re-organized so that now the ‘indigestion’ rubric contains all the modalities around indigestion and disordered  and ‘Disordered’ rubric contains all specific foods that causes indigestion or disordered stomach.

28. From the chapter Abdomen all the rubrics of location of epigastrium have been moved to chapter stomach. In the chapter stool all colors have been put into the main rubric color similar to the chapter urine. In the chapters Male Genitalia and Female Genitalia the rubrics for excitement, sexual passion, Desire diminished have been re-organized into the main rubric ‘Sexual Desires’ with diminished or increased as sub-rubrics.

29. In the chapter Female genitalia rubrics ‘Menses’, Leucorrhoea and ‘ Lochia ’ have been re –organized with all general modalities under the rubric ‘General’ followed by kind of Menses, Leucorrhoea, Lochia etc. A new chapter have been created containing those Speech rubrics from the Mind chapter that are related to motoric problems and the voice rubrics formerly found in the chapter Larynx and Trachea. The rubrics of Speech related to mental or emotional etiology or background have been placed under the Mind chapter under the rubric ‘Talk, talking, talks’.

30. In all the chapters the Discolorations and eruptions have been re- organized so that all of their sub- rubrics now fit the same hierarchical  layout. Their layout in the Repertory is as follows: General Rubric Time modalities General modalities Locations Specific colours or specific types

31. In all chapters, the main pain rubrics except for the HEAD PAIN and the EXTREMITY PAIN chapter, have been re-organized hierarchically. They start with General Rubrics Time modalities General modalities Causations Extending to Pain types including wandering, radiating and pulsating.

32. Lot of cross reference was created with comparison with Kent’s repertory. For cross references if no remedies are mentioned in the rubric means after an arrow mark the cross reference word will be given. If remedies are mentioned a point sign is used before the cross reference. If the cross reference is in different chapter than the first word will be in UPPERCASE. For ex. In mind chapter MIND, FEAR, croud , in a          GENERALITIES, Crouded

33. REPERTORY PAGE REFERENCES: Other reference sources are mentioned with page number in brackets immediately after the rubric. For ex. ALCOHOLISM , dipsomania ( K36,S1 398, G28) means K for Kent repertory page no.36, G- Repertorium generale, S1 or synthetic repertory volume1. Fver chapter has been renamed to fever, Heat. The chill chapter to chill, Chilliness.

34. Many minor remedy abbreviations have been changed in order not to confuse them with other remedy abbreviations that represent completely different remedies. Example: Cocc -s. ( Coccinella septempunctata , an insect) has been changed to Cocci -s in order not to be confused with Cocc ( Cocculus indicus , a plant). One might think Cocc -s is a further species in the Cocc family, which it is not. Example: Crot -t (Croton tiglium , a plant) has been changed to Croto -t in order not to be confused with Crot -h and Crot -c, the Crotalus snakes.

35. At the end of the Repertory, following sections are given which makes the Repertory more reliable and authenticated ∙         Bibliography ∙         Remedy Conversion ∙         Remedies and abbreviations ∙         Authors and I.D. numbers ∙         Families of remedies ∙         Authors and frequency ∙         Remedies and frequency

36. Special features Certainty about finding the correct rubrics and remedies A complete overview of related rubrics using cross – references A choice of information from old and new sources, using the latest provings. The best possibilities for curing your patients And it is the most comprehensive repertory in existence because it has: approximately 515,000 checked additions.

37. New rubrics  : were created when there were no existing rubrics that covered their meaning in Kent’s Repertory. We studied the meaning of the rubric using the information in the materia medica and the information in contemporary dictionaries of the time. Also, the rubric to be added should have real homeopathic value, ie . the new information should be information that helps the consulting homeopath find the right remedy.
