POINTERS


The following peculiar symptom was present in a very serious chronic case given up by allopathic physicians: Every time she urinates she jumps from a sharp pain as if a sharp instrument had been stuck under the great toe nail. After careful search through many repertories this symptom was found in Allens Symptom- Register. This strange symptom proved to be the key that unlocked the remedy. Sulphur was the remedy and under its administration the patient improved greatly.

SPASM AND HYPERTENSION.

Spasm first, followed by hypertension, such seems to be the evolution of the hyperpiesias. We find in our materia medica a perfect correspondence. The spasmodic state corresponds with Nux vomica, Spigelia and Viscum. Established hypertension to Baryta carb. and Plumbum. Do not forget Ignatia for the temporary hypertension following emotional shocks. – L. and P. VANNIER. From The British Homoeopathic Journal.
