REPETITION OF THE REMEDY: Dr J.T.Kent's Repertory

• Last, & least important of all, comes the names of the patients malady.
• Look it up, if you like, at the very end, and it may joyfully confirm your choice of drug , which it must not unduly bias.
• If your patient is an asthmatic patient, it is comforting to know that the drug his symptoms demand has again and again cured bad cases of asthma.
  But remedies that have never been recorded as having cured asthma will do the trick, if the symptoms of the patient cry out for them, as their simillimum.
• Drugs have not all been pushed far enough to produce lesions, and their voices do not carry, as a rule, deeper than function – except in the cases of accidental poisoning.
• But get the right drug, the stimulus needed, and you will find the reaction of the organism deep enough in all conscience, and long-sustained.
• Then KEEP YOUR HANDAS OFF! Wait long for a second very definite cry, before you dare to interfere. You may have to wait months – then wait!
• Remember, it is the patient who has to cure himself; the drug can not cure him, the drug is only the stimulus that starts the vital reaction.
• So long has curative reaction is in progress, it is senseless – criminal – to interfere.
• This is the way to crush your work, to vitiate your experience, to break your heart.
• So long the patient is improving, let him be, and never meddle till he begins to sleep back: that is the first possible moment to repeat, or to reconsider the case.
• It is safer to be a little late than a little soon. You must “ go fast slowly ”, there is no other way.
