REPERTORY/OF FOOT-SWEAT. 
Olin M. Drake, M. D., Boston, Mass. 
I have no doubt that many of my colleagues, among the true 
followers of Hahnemann, have often felt, like myself, the need 
of a complete repertory on Foot-siceat. The material for this 
repertory was culled from the materia medicas of Hahnemann, 
Allen, Hering, Lippe, Farrington, Jahr’s Manual, Jahr’s and 
Powart’s New Manual; HuWs Jahr, Hale, and Mure; and from 
the jjeriodical medical literature of our school iu the English 
language for the past thirty years. 
I have given the modalities and concomitants when I have 
found them iu the materia medica—not otherwise, with a verv 
few exceptions. 
T do not believe I have omitted any Foot-sweat symptoms, 
but if I have overlooked any I should be glad to be informed of 
the fact. 
I hope this short paper will be of use to some of my busy 
confreres, assisting them in finding the simillimum from the true 
Hahnemannian standpoint. This is my principal excuse in 
yielding to the wishes of several friends, who have requested me 
to send it to The Homoeopathic Physician for publication.
