Old Method (using plain paper sheet) – The rubrics are arranged according to the hierarchy, and all the medicines with their relative gradations are listed against them. The common medicines, which covers all the rubrics, are found out. They are further differentiated with reference to Mat. Med. 2. Modern Method (using reportorial sheet). – Repertorization is done with the help of reportorial sheet which contains a list of medicine arranged alphabetically along with a number of longitudinal and horizontal columns for noting down the marks of relative gradations of the medicines against the rubrics. Q. Process of Repertorization. 1. Total addition process – All the medicines against all the rubrics are noted down and finally total marks against the medicines are calculated. 2. Eliminating process – The most important symptom which is very characteristic and constant complaint of the patient is considered as eliminating rubric. This symptom is placed on the top and the rest of the symptoms are placed below it according to the hierarchy. Q. Repertorial Totality – The rubrics which are considered for repertorization, collectively known as “Repertorial totality’. Q. Potential differential field – www.calcuttahomoeopathy.com

Comparative study can be made of two drugs through above mentioned procedure. iii. Since a rubric enlists the medicines in different grades (3-Kent, 5-Boenn.), the intensity of a sympt. In a drug can be studied which may not always found in Mat. Med. 4. It helps to formulate questions during case taking. 5. It suggests related remedies, which could be helpful for selecting a drug for a second prescription. Q. Limitations of Repertories. – 1. Repertory gives finally a small group of medicines with different grades, but never syggests a final choice. 2. Physician may mistake during interpretation of a symptom in formulating a rubric. 3. No. of chapters / No. of rubrics / No. of medicines are often insufficient. No repertory is a complete one. 4. Nesodes are not reprevented properly. 5. Keeping the rubrics in appropriate chapter often not maintained. 6. No reference to family history, often past history to the repertory. Q.
