I checked my copy of Lilienthal and did not see Art V having involuntary
stools; looked under epilepsy, the remedy is listed but no stools in the
description.

REPLY FROM DR. V. KRISHNAMURTHY.

Dear Dr. Rozencwajg, Please see page 577 of Calvin B. Knerr's Repertory:
During Stool, convulsion: Art. v.

I do not use Complete Repertory or Millenium repertories. I use Kent,
Lilienthal, Calvin B. Knerr's and Boericke alone.

In Kent's Repertory under RECTUM , we find the following: INVOLUNTARY
stool: convulsion, during: Oena., stry.
But this is a special aggravation and Kent sternly warns that
observations are often wanting in respect of special aggravation and the
general rubric must be presssed into service. (Please see the first few
pages of K:ent's Repertory: HOW TO STUDY THE REPERTORY. (sub-heading under
any main head is called special aggravations)
