THE KALI FAMILY
The Potassium salts have more relation specifically to the solid tissues than to the fluids of the body; to the blood corpuscle rather than to the blood plasma. The fibrous tissues are particularly affected, the ligaments of joints, of the uterus, and of the back. It corresponds to conditions in which these tissues are relaxed – joints give way; the back feels as if broken; the patient feels compelled to lie down, even in the street.
