Excerpt from Repertory to the Modalities, in Their Relations to Temperature, Air, Water, Weather, and Seasons: Based Mainly Upon Hering's Condensed Materia Medica This little book was originally compiled to meet a want felt in my daily practice. With its help I have many times been able in a few moments to decide upon the indicated remedy, while, without it, a longer search would have been required than the busy physician is able, or the indolent physician willing, to make. The book has been arranged on a different plan from other repertories, but I think that the difference will tend to make the work more practical and useful. In nearly every instance the exact language of the text has been given, together with the associated symptoms; thus enabling a more careful discrimination to be made. A repertory should not take the place of the Materia Medica; it ought only to serve as a guide by whose help the physician may know where in the Materia Medica he is to seek for the remedy which will probably cover the totality of the symptoms; for no prescription can be scientifically based upon one symptom.
