This is the classic essential repertory for a starter in homeopathy by the master homeopath Kent. The repertory of Homeopathic Materia Medica by James Tyler Kent became the standard and remains so until this day. Kent's Repertory belongs on the bookshelf of every practicing homeopath or student. Though repertories such as Synthesis have corrected errors and improved content, Kents opus remains viable to this day since first published in 1897.
He discovered that just as there are octaves of musical tones, so there are octaves in simple substances, through which it is possible to correspond with the various planes of the interior organism of the animal cells. These planes correspond to 30th, 200th, 1M, 10M, 50M, CM, DM and MM potencies.
An invaluable piece of work on remedy pictures portrayed from the author's own experience and well supported by generous quotes from Hahnemann, T.F. Allen, Hering, Burnett, Farrington, Kent & Clarke. Useful background to each remedy has been provided with respect to its history, source, preparation, use and comparative aspect. Tyler's liberal inclusion of cases, articles, and letters from multiple sources enriches each remedy picture and widens the scope of this work as a handy reference. A captivating writing style and sublime description of various particulars make this literature simply fascinating to read. 125 classical pictures collected together in one complete volume. Also included in these descriptions are quotes from the masters and real life clinical cases.
This is a combination of the 5th edition by Dudgeon (the 1893 revision) with the 6th edition by Boericke. Essentially, one can see the changes that Hahnemann made to the text of the 5th edition. An appendix outlines all the changes made from the first edition to 6th edition. It is a valuable study guide. Of all the published editions this remains the favourite for many, since it clearly shows the changes in Hahnemann's thinking as some paragraphs in the fifth edition were modified and others completely rewritten.
The positive changes they made are as follows, a new font has been used which is bigger in size and is a pleasure to read, and footnotes which were earlier given at the bottom and spread over different aphorisms were difficult to find and read. In this new book, they have incorporated them under the appropriate aphorisms at one place - this makes the reading and understanding of "Organon" easier.

Many of the books being bought are clearly student books indicating the level of current interest in the study of homeopathy, much more than what people think. We have written another blog talks about where can Australians study homeopathy, which we are regularly updating this blog due to new courses becoming available.
It is students who buy The Science of Homeopathy book by Vithoulkis, Kents Repertory, and The Organon of Medicine. They carry practices and cases dating back to the 1800's and the newer books seem to reference these also, or at least have grown from their practices.
Professor George Vithoulkis briefly mentions the premise of Levels of Health in his first textbook, The Science of Homeopathy, published in 1977. After 59 years of experience and diligent observation in homeopathic practice, he presents the fully developed theory for application in everyday practice.

Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann was born in Meissen, Saxony, near Dresden. His father Christian Gottfried Hahnemann[3] was a painter and designer of porcelain, for which the town of Meissen is famous.[4]
As a young man, Hahnemann became proficient in a number of languages, including English, French, Italian, Greek and Latin. He eventually made a living as a translator and teacher of languages, gaining further proficiency in "Arabic, Syriac, Chaldaic and Hebrew".[5]
Hahnemann studied medicine for two years at Leipzig. Citing Leipzig's lack of clinical facilities, he moved to Vienna, where he studied for ten months.[6] His medical professors in Leipzig and Vienna included the physician Joseph von Quarin,[7] later credited for turning Vienna General Hospital into a model European medical institution.[8]
After one term of further study, Hahnemann graduated with a medical degree with honors from the University of Erlangen on 10 August 1779. His poverty may have forced him to choose Erlangen, as the school's fees were lower than in Vienna.[9] Hahnemann's thesis was titled Conspectus adfectuum spasmodicorum aetiologicus et therapeuticus [A Dissertation on the Causes and Treatment of Spasmodic Diseases].[10][11]
In 1781, Hahnemann took a village doctor's position in the copper-mining area of Mansfeld, Saxony.[12] He soon married Johanna Henriette Kuchler and would eventually have eleven children.[5] After abandoning medical practice, and while working as a translator of scientific and medical textbooks, he translated fifteen books from English, six from French and one each from Latin and Italian from 1777 to 1806.[13] Hahnemann travelled around Saxony for many years, staying in many different towns and villages for varying lengths of time, never living far from the River Elbe and settling at different times in Dresden, Torgau, Leipzig and Kthen (Anhalt)[14] before finally moving to Paris in June 1835.[15]
Hahnemann was dissatisfied with the state of medicine in his time, and particularly objected to practices such as bloodletting. He claimed that the medicine he had been taught to practice sometimes did the patient more harm than good:
My sense of duty would not easily allow me to treat the unknown pathological state of my suffering brethren with these unknown medicines. The thought of becoming in this way a murderer or malefactor towards the life of my fellow human beings was most terrible to me, so terrible and disturbing that I wholly gave up my practice in the first years of my married life and occupied myself solely with chemistry and writing.[5]
After giving up his practice around 1784, Hahnemann made his living chiefly as a writer and translator, while resolving also to investigate the causes of medicine's alleged errors. While translating William Cullen's A Treatise on the Materia Medica, Hahnemann encountered the claim that cinchona, the bark of a Peruvian tree, was effective in treating malaria because of its astringency. Hahnemann believed that other astringent substances are not effective against malaria and began to research cinchona's effect on the human body by self-application. Noting that the drug induced malaria-like symptoms in himself,[16] he concluded that it would do so in any healthy individual. This led him to postulate a healing principle: "that which can produce a set of symptoms in a healthy individual, can treat a sick individual who is manifesting a similar set of symptoms."[5] This principle, like cures like, became the basis for an approach to medicine which he gave the name homeopathy. He first used the term homeopathy in his essay Indications of the Homeopathic Employment of Medicines in Ordinary Practice, published in Hufeland's Journal in 1807.[17]
