Author : Baron Clemens Maria Franz Von Boenninghausen. Edited by : Dr. T. F. Allen. Introduction by : Dr. H. A. Roberts , Annie C. Wilson. Preface : It is mentioned Boenninghausens theraputic pocket book is under use more than a centuary, used by many masters of Homoeopathy.

It is not the duty of the physicians to identify superiority of any one general repertory. But physician must know the philosophical background and how to apply this particular philosophy mentioned in a particular repertory , in the practical purpose. Boenninghausens life (1785 to 1864) : Boenninghausen has born in Netharlands, from the family of West phalian and Austrian ancestory. One ancestor having been appointed as field marshal by Fredinand 2 of Austria in 1962 Since for centuries the family has devoted them selves to military careers. His education was started late , but after once starting his progress was rapid. He graduated from the Dutch university at Groningen, with the degree of Doctor of civil and criminal law. So he was a lawyer professionally. In 1812 he married and went to one of the family estate

At Western Prussia. He was interested in agriculture and allied sciences particularly botany. In 1816 he got the position of the president of the provincial court of justice for the West Phalia district. He was appointed as director of the botanical gardens at Munster. In 1827 he was suffered from a derangement of health and was diagnosed as purulent tuberculosis health continued to be declining until the spring of 1828. At this time he wrote a fare well letter to his close botanical friend Dr. A. Weihe. M. D, who was the first Homoeopathic physician in the Province of Rhineland West Phalia. Dr. A. Wiehe know about the sickness of Boenninghausen and asked the detailed symptoms of his illness. Boenninghausen sent the details, Dr. A. Weighe sent some pulsatilla, Boenninghausen took it according to the direction and hygienic advice of Dr. A. Weihe. Boenninghausen’s

recovery was gradual but constant, and cured from sickness. After that he was attracted by Homoeopathy, and believed the new principle of healing. Boenninghausen went through Homoeopathic literatures during that period. Boenninghausen was not a approved physician, after curing stubborn cases referred by other physician , his fame was spread to , France, Holland America, and he got many referrals from the physicians. King Friedrich Wilhelm fourth issued to Boenninghausen a document empowering him to practice medicine with out restraint. From 1830 Boenninghausen was in close touch with Dr. Hahnemann, until the close of Hahnemann’s life. He was the friend of Adolph Lippe and Carroll Dunham. Lippe give the Boenninghausen’s birth as 1777. He had seven sons, among two eldest choose Homoeopathic medicine as their profession. The elder son married the adopted daughter of Hahnemann’s widow, and lived with them.

Dr. Hahnemann’s attempt to compilling a repertory was failed. At that time Boenninghausen worked hard and published his first repertory in 1832 “The repertory of antipsoric remedies”, the preface was written by Hahnemann. In 1835 he published another repertory, “Repertory of the medicines which are not antipsoric”. In 1836 he published a book “Attempt at showing relative kinship of Homoeopathic medicines”. After ten years in 1846 he published a comprehensive repertory “Therapeutic pocket book”. Introduction : Boenninghausen was basically professionally a lawer. Having recovered from a serious derangement of health in 1828 using Homoeopathic medicines. He was attracted by the principle of similia.

Because of that he learned the Homoeopathic literatures and materia medica during the time. He came in contact with Dr. Hahnemann in 1830. During that period Hahnemann and his deciples searching to compil a repertory, but failed. The analytical mind of Boenninghausen think about indexing of ever enlarging materia medica. At this juncture he published his first repertory “Repertory of antipsoric remedies” (systemic alphabetical repertory of homoeopathic remedies), with a preface written by Dr. Hhhnemann. His second repertory was (repertory of the medicines which are not antipsoric” in 1835, in 1836 he published a book, “attempt at showing relative kinship of Homoeopathic medicines”.

Lastly after ten years of clinical experience he published the Therapeutic pocket book in 1846. The book written in German was fist translated by an anonymous person, but the translation was faulty in certain respects. Hempel attempted to translate it but he was criticized for his careless translation, so he met failure.

Allen’s translated edition is the most valuable edition of this work, now in use. He dropped out four medicines and added some 220 remedies to Boenninghausen’s original 126 remedies, so that the total number of remedies in Allen’s edition is 342, Allen also rearranged this book. (The medicines dropped are, angustura, magnetic poli ambo, magnetis polus arcticus and magnetic polus australis). In 1935, Dr. H. A. Roberts, a stalwart in the field brought out a new edition of Boenninghausen’s “Therapeutic pocket book”. (he calculated total number of medicines as 362). Boenninghausen is known as father of repertory, because he was the first person who compiled a comprehensive repertory, which covers , mind, intellect, anatomical parts of the body and clinical conditions.

Bonneninghausen’s concept of totality : Boenninghausen made a thorough study of the entire Homoeopathic literatures available to him to arrive at a comprehensible working totality of a case. 1, Quis - Personality, the individuality. 2, Quid - Disease, it’s nature and peculiarity. 3, Ubi - Seat of disease. 4, Quibus auxalis - Accompanying symptoms. 5, Cur - Cause of disease. 6, Quomodo - Modification, aggravation and amelioration. 7, Quando - Time. These seven points, which are in the form of maxims, seem to contain all the essential aspects required to get a complete image of disease.

Philosophical aspect or background : Based on complete symptoms. While studying the symptomatology in Homoeopathic materia medica, Boenninghausen realized many difficulties with regard to symptoms. Found many symptoms recorded incomplete, he held that a symptom should be complete. A complete symptom according to him consist of the following, location, sensation, modalities, with or with out concomittants Cncomittants are not an essential component of a complete symptom, its presence immensely help to idividualize the case from another, and one remedy from another. Concomittants occurs, before, during or after the chief complaint. The principles adapted in TPB are the following : 1, Doctrine of analogy. 2, Doctrine of concomittants.

3, Evaluation of remedies. 4, Concordance. 1, Doctrine of analogy : In order to get complete symptoms, Boenning hausen come to a conclusion that, "What is true to the part is also true to the whole of the person”. (i. e. ) The local modalities and sensations pertaining to one part should also be applied to other parts. Thus raised the local symptoms (particulars) in to general level, which could be used for whole person. This principle is other vice known as, “Doctrine of grand generalization”. 2, Doctrine of cocomittants: Boenninghausen first identified in each case, a group of symptoms appearing with main complaint. But these symptoms were generally over locked by the patient and un noticed by the physicians. Such group of symptoms are not having relation to the main complaint (time relation only). But they are very important to individualizing the case as well as for the remedy.

3, Evaluation of remedies: It means providing value or grades to the medicines. Boenninghausen is first person who graded the remedies. He noticed many drugs produced the same type of symptoms, but there is difference in the frequency and intensity in the appearance of symptoms, this induced him to grade the remedies. In his repertory he used five typography to grade the remedies, these are the following : Capitals - 5 marks - first grade. Bold - 4 marks - second grade. Italics - 3 marks - third grade. Roman - 2 marks - fourth grade. Roman in parenthesis - 1 mark fifth grade. The gradation is based on frequency and intensity of appearance of symptoms in provers.

4, Concordance or relation ship of remedies : Boenninghausen noticed the relation ship existed among the remedies. So incorporated a chapter on this subject in his ‘Therapeutic pocket book’ towards the end. In the earlier edition of the book he referred to this chapter as 'Concordance of remedies’. But Dr. Allen gave it a comprehensive title ‘Relation ship of remedies’(p. 322 to 482). This chapter discusses about relation ship of medicines, under the medicine following 12 headings are mentioned, Mind, Localities, Sensations, Glands, Bones, Skin, Sleep and dreams, Blood circulation and fever, Aggravation, Other remedies, Antidotes and Inimicals (injurious) (p. 370). But the inimicals or injurious is rarely used. This order is not strictly followed under all medicines(p. 323, aesculus) Plan and costruction : The whole book is divided in to three components-location, sensation, and modalities. However concomitants are scattered , the book has following structure.

There are seven chapters in in Therapeutic pocket book. 1, Mind and intellect (mind, p. 17 to 20, intellect, p. 20 to 24). 2, Parts of the body (anatomical parts) (p. 24 to 142). 3, Sensation and complaints (p. 142 to 239). 4, Sleep and dreams. (p. 239 to 250). 5, Fever (circulation and fever) (p. 250 to 268). 6, Modalities (p. 268 to 321). 7, Relation ship of remedies. (p. 322 to 482). The mind chapter consist of 18 rubrics, which are mainly related to ‘Will’, the intellect chapter consist of 17 rubrics, which includes understanding, memory, vertigo and concomittant rubrics, parts of the body it self contain 32 sub chapters. The chapters of therapeutic pocket book are the following.

1, Mind and intellect. 2, Parts of the body (anatomical parts). Head -Internal -External Eyes Vision Ears Hearing Nose Smell Face Teeth Mouth

Throat Hunger and thirst Taste Eructation Nausea and vomiting Abdomen -Internal -External Flatulence Stool Urinary organs Urine Micturation Sexual organs

Menstruation Leucorrhoea Respiration Cough Air passages External throat and neck Chest -Internal -External Back Upper extremities Lower extremities Along with parts of the body , few discharges are also mentioned. Sides of the parts are given as separate chapters at the end of main parts, but in majority of chapters, sides are given in the last two rubrics – left and right.

3, Sensations and complaints Sensations - General - Glands - Bones - skin 4, Sleep and dreams 5, Fever Circulations Chill – concomittants of chill Heat – cocomittants of heat Coldness Shivering Sweat – concomittants of sweat

Compound fever Concomittants - before fever - during fever - after fever Febrile symptoms – sides 6, Modalities Aggravations Ameliorations 7, Relationship of remedies Relationship chapter : Boenninghausen published the concordance on 1836, after 15 years of the chief study of Materia medica pura. It consist of 121 remedies and later Allen added 21 new remedies, thus Allen’s edition contain 142 remedies, and changed concordance in to relationship of remedies.

Adaptability : From the philosophy and construction of ‘Therapeutic pocket book’, it is obvious that the book can be used for the repertorization of the following types of cases. a, Cases with complete symptoms. b, Case with prominent sensations and modalities in some parts but vague in other parts c, Cases with prominent concomittants. d, Cases with paucity of symptoms with scattered modalities and no characteristics. e, Cases where generals are lacking. f, It is also use full to get related remedies by working on the last chapter. Methods of repertorization : Robert’s method : After case taking the physician categorise the

Important and relevant data under four heads, that is , location, sensation, modalities and concomittants. The analysis and classification of symptoms under these four heads would help the physician to utilize the ‘Therapeutic pocket book’. Rubrics can be arranged as the following : a, Location b, Sensation c, Conditions of aggravation and amelioration d, Concomittants Modern method : Dr. M. L. Dhawale has modified the method with out compromising with the principle and results, by rearranging the order of symptoms. According to this modified method, the symptoms should be arranged in the following higherarchy. 1, Causative modalities (ailments from) : Emotional,

Intellectual and physical. 2, General aggravations : Emotional, intellectual, and physical. 3, General ameliorations : Emotional, intellectual, and physical. 4, Physical generals : Sensation and complaints. 5, Concomittants. 6, Mentals : For reference and differentiation. Relationship of remedy section : Boenninghausen published the concordance on 1836, after 15 years of the chief study of materiamedica pura. It consist of 121 remedies , and later Allen added 21 new remedies, thus Allen’s edition contain 142 remedies. There are 12 headings present under the medicines mentioned in relationship of remedies, they are, mind

Localities, sensations, glands, bones, skin, sleep and dreams, blood circulation and fever, aggravations : time and circumstances, other remedies, antidotes, injurious. (p. 350 Belladona). Other remedies, are those remedies which have general relation ship to the remedy. Antidotes are remedies which stops the action of the given remedy. Uses of remedy relationship section : 1, It can be used for studying the relationship of remedies under various levels in 12 headings. 2, It helps to find a close running medicine which can be thought of in future follow up if the picture changes. 3, To find out a second remedy, if the first one(though indicated) does not meet with the expectation in a given period of time.

4, Some times a deep acting medicine, though indicated, should not be given, so as to avoid unwanted precipitation of adverse symptoms, in those case an analogue can be found with the help of this section. 5, The section help us to study various relationship of remedies. Method of working relationship section : When the indicated medicine has helped a little and when there is no further improvement, with out much change in the presentation, this section can be referred to for finding out a close running medicine, which would help the patient. Consider the medicine first prescribed, select the sub heading, under the medicine which could be the main complaint of the patient, and use it as the first rubric. Then consider all the other sub headings one by one from mind. The first rubric can be used as an eliminating rubric (only those medicines would be taken further which cover the first rubric).

For example, if it is a tonsillitis case ‘gland’ could be the first rubric, if it is a head ache case sensation could be the first rubric (ex, belladona-p. 350). Special features or advantages or merits of T. P. B. : 1, It is useful in the bed side and in the study of a Homoeopathic materia medica. 2, The repertory is based on the principles of complete symptoms and concomittants. The plan and construction of the repertory follows the same principles, and the whole book can be divided in to locations, sensations, and modalities This make it easy for the practitioners to find rubrics. 3, It contain an additional chapter 'relationship of remedies’ towards the end. The chapter is unique and it helps to find all the related remedies of the case.

4, The informations included in therapeutic pocket book are derived from Hahnemann’s works as well as from all contemporary stalwarts. The information's and the sources of information are most authentic and they have been verified by Boenninghausen, this makes the repertory authentic and useful. 5, The sensations and modalities chapter contain several useful rubrics which can be related to various parts as well as to the whole person. This unique arrangement is only present in ‘Theraputic pocket book’. 6, The repertory has five different typography to denotes the various grades of remedies, communicating the wide range of intensity of symptoms. 7, The repertory contain mental rubrics at two plases, mind and modalities. Both the chapters can be referred to for searching different mental symptoms.

8, Though not all but some chapters contain details of concomittants(p. 49, 114, 120) separately given towards the end of the chapters. This has given the beginning of an era of recognizing the concomittants in the work of repertories and in practice. 9, The adaptability of this repertory makes it very special for practitioners. 10, Being one of the initial repertories, it contains a relatively systematic arrangement and detailed information on various locations, sensations, modalities and relationship of remedies this unique work become the progenitor of all future and more useful repertories. Criticism or demerits or disadvantages of TPB : Even though appreciations about Boenninghausens indexing work of symptoms of materia medica and the

‘Therapeutic pocket book’. Many stalwarts including Dr. Kent criticized the constructions, principles and plan of ‘Therapeutic pocket book’. 1, Number of medicines : Originally therapeutic pocket book had only 126 remedies, but Allen edited this book and dropped four old medicines and added 220 new medicines. Hence the total number of medicines came to 342. Even after Robert’s edition, the book deals with only 362 remedies, so the total number of medicines in this book is very low. 2, Number of rubrics : The number of rubrics given in the book are not many. These limited rubrics cannot be used for many symptoms. 3, Rubrics and medicines : Though in the location part a large number of medicines are mentioned under most of the rubrics, but in other sections we find many rubrics which do

Not contain very important and well known medicines (p. 69), Desire for smoked meet - cal-phos is not mentioned, desire for chalk, lime , coal, indigestible things – cal-carb is not mentioned. 4, Some of the medicines are repeated often and given undue importance in the book, i. e. , almost all rubrics containver-alb in high grades (p. 22, 113). 5, Mind section : In Boenninghausen’s method, though mind is given importance in finalizing medicine from a repertorial group, we find that mind section is not well presented in the book. There are only 18 rubrics under mind and 17 under intellect section. These rubrics are too general and cannot be used for any purpose other than for reference. 6, Concomittants of mental symptoms : A small group of medicines appears under this heading which is not very useful in practice. Even important medicines do not find any place in this group (thuja) (p. 23).

7, Concomittants : Though prime importance is given to concomittants by Boenninghausen’s method, a separate chapter on concomittants is not given separately, and the concomittants mentioned are scattered in the book. (p. 49, 114, 120) 8, Defect in construction and compilation : This book has undergone many modifications and editions. Finally Dr Allen gave it a definite shape, several laps remained. (ex)Internal head ends on page 26, again starts on page 29, and external head ends on page 29, and begins again on page on 30. 9, This book is based on the philosophy of complete symptoms, but this book it self does not strictly followed this principle in construction. Very often location and sensation cannot be divided sharply, and are mixed at many places (p. 56 to 71)

10, Indexing of the medicines has not been attempted. As a result, if certain medicines are not found under rubric, then one is not sure weather the medicine is omitted or not represented well in the book. 11, There is no fixed order in the arrangement of rubrics. 12, Relationship section is well arranged and explained, this section is quite useful for practitioners , but here only 142 remedies appear. 13, Many rubrics are miss placed. vertigo – under mind and intellect. (p. 23). parotid gland – under ear. (p. 41). rectum – under stool. (93). hemorrhoids – under stool. (p. 92). perineum – under stool. (p. 93).

anus - stool (p. 92). abortion - menstruation (p. 107). 14, Similar rubrics : There are number of similar rubrics under different headings found in this book. (ex) reeling - sensation (p. 176). vertigo - intellect (p. 23). labor like pain - sensation (p. 166). labor like pain - genitalia (p. 104). burns - sensation (p. 147). burns - aggravation (p. 273). 15, Different sensations are mentioned in this book, but there is no rubric for general pain, only specific types of pain are mentioned. (p. 169 to 172). 16, This book has not been updated, hence it lack information's about sarcodes and nosodes which have become an essential part of practice today.

Difference between original edition and Allen’s edition of ‘Therapeutic pocket book’. 1, The original edition of BTPB was compiled by Boenninghausen. Allen edited therapeutic pocket book, he made many changes, added many rubrics and medicines. 2, The original edition of BTPB contain 126 medicines. The Allen’s edition BTPB contain 342 medicines, Allen dropped four medicines from the original and added 220 medicines, the dropped medicines are, angustura, magnetic poli ambo, magnetis polus arcticus and magnetic polus australis.

3, In original edition the seventh chapter was named as concordance chapter. In Allen’s edition the seventh chapter was named as relation ship of remedies. 4, In the original edition 121 medicines are used in concordance chapter. In Allen’s edition 21 medicines are added to the original of 121 medicines, altogether the relation ship chapter contain 142 medicines. 5, In the original edition chapters are the following: I, Mind and soul. II, Parts of the body and organs. III, Sensation and complaints.

IV, Sleep and dreams. V, Fever. VI, Alterations of the state of health. VII, Concordance. Allen’s edition are the following : I, Mind and intellect. II, Parts of the body. III, Sensations and complaints. IV, Sleep and dreams. V, Fever (circulation and fever). VI, Modalities. VII, Relation ship of remedies.
