After Hahnemann’s materia medica pura was written it became more and more apparent that some method should be used that would make it possible to find the similimum more easily and quickly. Records of symptoms developed through proving reached so bulky proportions that medicines were prescribed after referring pages and pages of materia medica. Even Hahnemann who conducted many provings and who himself proved many drugs prescribed medicines after much reference to the materia medica. This was a stupendous task even to Hahnemann and he compelled a short repertory of leading symptoms which were printed in Latin. Later he developed the repertory idea still further but these later repertories are still in the manuscript form. Boenninghausen took up the task of compiling a Repertory on being requested by Hahnemann himself. He meticulously went through the records of original provings and compared them with reports of clinical verifications. In this process he even discarded some medicines which could not stand his scrutiny.
