Dr J.N. Kanjilal was born on 30th August 1908 in a small hamlet of East Bengal. After completing his education at the Carmichael Medical College, he started his practice at a small village called Daulatpur near Khulna in 1938. Being a Master academician, he was associated with D N. Dey Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. He taught various subjects such as Pathology, Clinical Medicine, Materia Medica, Philosophy and Gynecology. He was a Life member and a General Council member of the All India Homoeopathic Medical Association. He was also the only member of the Central Council of All India Institute of Homoeopathy. An indefatigable crusader for unity, he was the founder of the West Bengal Homoeopathic Federation and went on to unite the two All India Associations to form 'The Homoeopathic Med cal Association of India'.

Many of my students and friends have long been pressing me to write a book on "How to Utilise the Repertory" for finding out the similimum. But, at present I have little time at my disposgl to write a systematic Text-Book on the subject. So some of my friends advised me to compile and reprint the articles on the subject published in the Hahnemannian Gleanings. And this small book is the result of my submission to this advice.

It is quite obvious that the art of Repertorization is based on the art of proper elicitation of symptoms with the fullest possible expression of each cl. them, then their proper evaluation, categorization and classification. So I had to include in this compilation a series of articles dealing with these aspects of the art.

As, quite natural in such compilations, there have occurred frequent repetition of the same ideas in the various articles. But I do hope that, these repetitions will not bore the readers, rather they will help in engrafting these highly important fundamental ideas further deeper into their minds.

I will deem this meagre work highly repaid if it comes to any use to Homoeopathic learners.

It is my duty to thank the Hahnemann Publishing Co. (P) Ltd., Publishers of the Hahnemannian Gleanings, for allowing me to reprint these articles, and Dr. Sushil Kumar Mondal, D.M.S , of Howrah, one of my most deserving and beloved disciples for making this compilation ready for the press.
