Potency will always be a controversial topic. Giving the modus operandi of stalwart homoeopaths, the editorial conveys the discrepancies of potency prescription of every prescriber. Dr. D.M. Borlands booklet on Pneumonia also explains the concept of potency and has been reproduced in this issue. Dr. S.P. Koppikars article throws light on Miasms.

Dr. Mathu Kumars efforts to re-introduce Knerrs Repertory to the homoeopathic brethren is commendable. Earlier issues also carried his articles; this final article speaks about the advantages of Knerr and the arrangement of mental symptoms. "All living matter consists nearly altogether of carbon compounds, swollen with water. Not only are we, as exponents of living matter, composed of a high percentage of carbon compounds, but we are constantly exposed to the assimilation, combustion and expulsion of carbon compounds, in every conceivable form. Life itself is a cycle of combustion, and there is hardly a substance which is not a composition of, or related to a greater or less degree of carbon or carbon compound". Dr. Roberts delineates homoeopathic remedies which are related to carbon. A case of glutton, where Calc-carb seemed to be the remedy, was helped by Iodum, the prescription being based on Dreams - Eating (Iodum, only remedy in two marks) reports Dr. Aleem.

Keynotes may be either weak, strong or even indispensable. By the word 'indispensable' Dr Bellokossy meant that it must be present in the patient we are prescribing for, else the remedy to which it belongs must be left out of consideration, for example scanty menses in Graphites. If this keynote is absent Graphites must be disregarded. Dr S Mohamed Aleen in his editorial does not agree with the term and instead prefers to call them precious symptoms. Dr Douglas Borland describes various aspects of Natrum salts explaining their personality, temperature reactions, food reactions and discharges along with a few physical symptoms. Dr S P Koppikar speaks of his experience in the field of Homoeopathy. He recommends Allens Keynotes, Clinical Repertory of Clarke and Hutchinson's Clinical Methods as essential books for every Homoeopath.
