Two very deep acting remedies unite to form this one. It was
left to Schuessler to show its first curative powers. Dewey’s work
on the '’Tissue Remedies” gives the best presentation from the
biochemic view. The writer gathered the symptoms from reported
cures for many years, and found that they were justified by the
study of the two remedies entering into the formation. Many of
these symptoms come out upon the sick as aggravations. Some of
these are only cured symptoms. This arrangement could be improved
upon much by provings. If the reader will carefully use this remedy
as herein directed he will be astonished at its depth of action, and
if he uses it high he will be surprised at the length of action of every
dose. It has cured epilepsy, lupus and epithelioma, and many desquamating skin affections. It has cured most obstinate case of chronic
intermittent fever. It is useful in catarrhal affections with thick
yellow or greenish pus, viscid or thin yellow^ watery discharges. Most
symptoms are aggravated in the evening. The patient craves fresh
and even cold air, and he is ameliorated in open air and cool air.
Aggravation by exertion and becoming heated. Complaints come on
during rest, and are ameliorated by motion. Complaints aggravated
in warm room. Takes cold from being overheated. When once
healed he cannot cool ofiE without taking cold. Predisposition to
phthisis. It is frequently indicated after Tnberculinum, Epileptiform
convulsions. Jerking of the limbs and twitching of muscles. Dropsical
condition of the extremities. Loss of flesh, and complaints aggravated
after eating. Fasting ameliorates many symptoms. Flabby muscles.
Fatty degeneration of glands, liver and heart. Heaviness of limbs
and weariness of the body. Hysterical symptoms. Sluggishness of
the body and lack of physical irritability. Well selected remedies fall
short in action. Wants to lie down, but lying in bed aggravates ; he
must walk about to ameliorate his sufferings. Surging of blood in the
ameliorated by motion, ameliorated walking, ameliorated in open air ;
aggravated in a warm room, aggravated sitting or lying, or rest in
any form. The pain are burning, cutting, jerking, stitching and
Tearing. Ulcerative pains. Tearing downward in the limbs.
Tearing in glands and muscles. Pulsation all over the body.
warm wraps aggravate ; bathing aggravates. Complaints dating back
to suppressed eruptions. Post scarlatinal nephritis. One does not
need to reflect to perceive this is Pulsatilla somewhat intensified.
It takes up the work and finishes as a complement of Pulsatilla, unless,
as in some instances, the patient becomes a cold and chilly subject
and is better during rest, and then Silicea often will be found to have
what symptoms remain It is usual for a patient under a deep acting
remedy to go to opposite modalities, and hence Puls, is so often
followed by Silicea ; but this is not always true. When Puls, has acted
well for a time and because of opposite modalities Silicea does good
work for a while, and then the patient swings back to the original
state, symptoms and modalities, then it is that Kali sulph. is of great
usefulness. What occurs is the same as when Sulph,, Calc, and Lyc,
have rotated in a given case too deep to be cured by a single remedy
and a series of remedies has been what was required because the
symptoms changed in such a manner that such a series was homoeopathically suited.
Quite unlike Pulsatilla, this patient is easily angered and obstinate
and VERY IRRITABLE. Sccms to be thinking of something far away.
