"by Herbert A. Roberts"
About Book
It is true that we may see cases where the regular course of repertorization fails to reveal the similimum. It is in such a case as this that the special repertory may provide a clue to a remedy not included in the general repertory, or not so strikingly brought to our mind. This is the field of Sensation As If, as one possible indicator of the elusive simillimum.
One of homeopathy’s crowning achievements is the use of patient’s own expressions for the selection of an accurate similimum. Subjective Symptoms, as these are called, have been found extremely valuable in clinical practice. This work is based on information taken from an interleaved copy of Holcomb’s work that was compiled by Dr W A Yingling.
Besides the above mentioned source, the basis of the material was secured from three major works: Hering’s Guiding Symptoms, Clarke’s Dictionary and Allen’s Handbook. Frequent references have also been made to Allen’s Encyclopaedia.
