James Tyler Kent, MD proved many new remedies, pioneered the use of highly potentized homeopathic remedies, and in 1897 published his repertory. He advocated the use of potencies made on the centesimal scale. Dr. Kent introduced the doctrine of; 'Series in Degrees' in the treatment of chronic diseases, the 'Theory of Octaves', and the 'Law of Vital Action and Reaction'. He laid importance on mind symptoms in chronic cases.
