Introduction to the therapeutic pocket book

The repertory is not meant for use in those cases where there are clear indications for the simillimum. In these cases the additional symptoms that might be secured from the patient, under pressure of questioning, possibly would confuse a case that already stands out clearly, or if the repertory is used here, it might be used in the manner of a quick reference, to verify the leading indications for this remedy, or if some slight doubt were felt, to differentiate between those seemingly indicated. In clearly cut cases, even if the repertorisation verified the picture, for the student of MM this would have been a waste of time.
