Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Concordance Repertory of the More Characteristic Symptoms of the Materia Medica, Vol. 5 Explanation. - The Concordance Repertory is arranged like an index or dictionary. In compiling it, the author Observed the following rule: Give the noun, verb and essential adjective in the sentence. To find any desired symptom, first fix the proper phraseology in the mind, or, better, write it down; then select the noun, verb, or essential adjective, giving preference to the word expressing the central thought, idea, fact, condition, or Object of the sentence, and then refer to the word in the section of the Concordance devoted to the portion of the body affected. For instance, take the symptom: Sensation of a valve in larynx. The symptom refers to a condition of the larynx, and can be found in the section devoted to the voice, larynx and trachea. It can be found under either sensation or valve in the Concordance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
