Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica - Includes Life Sketch of Dr. J.T. Kent : How to use the Repertory Relationship of Remedies : Sides of the Body
James Tyler Kent (1849–1916) was an American physician whose contributions to homeopathic medicine are considered by many to rival those of Hahnemann himself. His monumental reference work, first published in 1897, remains a working tool for practitioners well over a century later. That kind of staying power says something. Born in Woodhull, New York, Kent held teaching posts at several respected institutions, including the Homoeopathic Medical College of St. Louis, the School of Homoeopathy in Philadelphia, and Hahnemann Medical College in Chicago. He also identified the 'Law of Vital Action and Reaction', building directly on Hahnemann's foundational principles. This volume draws together verified clinical symptoms from across the core homeopathic literature, alongside notes from early pioneers in the field. Crucially, unconfirmed symptoms have been left out, keeping the content focused and reliable. The book includes practical guidance articles such as 'Use of the Repertory' and 'How to Study the Repertory', as well as Dr M.L. Tyler's piece on repertorising. Dr Gibson Miller's 'Hot and Cold Remedies' offers useful support when distinguishing between similar remedies in pursuit of the final simillimum. Rounding things out, Miller's article on the relationship between remedies and their duration of action, together with Boger's 'The Sides of the Body and Drug Affinities' (drawn from Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocket Book), make this an admirably thorough companion. Whether you're a student or a seasoned practitioner, it's a text that earns its place on the shelf.
