542,374. Medicines. ARANJO, O. S. DE. Jan. 30, 1940, No. 1887. Convention date, Jan. 19, 1939. Drawings to Specification. [Class 81 (i)] [Also in Group XV] For the correct prescribing of homeopathic medicines, a set of cards is provided, each card pertaining to one sympton and having listed thereon, in vertical columns a large number of medicines, the medicines appropriate to that sympton having below it a number indicating the value of that medicine for that sympton; transverse and vertical guide lines are provided on each card so that the cards relating to the symptoms of any patient can be arranged in echelon and the total value for each medicine quickly ascertained. The card for each sympton may be in two or more parts where the number of medicines is great, and the bottom edge may be used inverted for a different symptom. There may be an index book for the cards, the book having the values for those symptoms requiring only a very few medicines and these symptons then having no cards, the appropriate book values being added to the card values to obtain the total values.
