Grades of Drug Symptoms.
The grades of the drug symptoms are designated in the repertory
by the use of different sized type. Kent uses three
grades, Boenninghausen had four, but this fourth grade is included
in those of the third under Kent’s classification.
Distinction in the drug symptoms by placing one in the first grade
by using capitals and heavy faced type; under the
second grade by using italics and under the third grade by using
small letters.
Under the first grade are included all those symptoms which were
brought out in every prover and that have since
been verified. Under the second grade those symptoms which were
brought out in the majority of provers and have
since been verified, and under the third grade those symptoms which
only a few of the provers developed, those
symptoms which are clinical and which have since been verified.
