Dr.

well be considered for the paralysis following cerebral thrombosis.
Ambra.:
geriatric tonic. Indicated for the prematurely old with feebleness and trembling.
The patient exhibits confusion with vanishing of ideas. He jumps from one
subject to another. He asks question after question, never
waiting for
an answer. The presence of another person seems to aggravate all symptoms. The
mind runs on unpleasant fancies, diabolical faces and sights. Physically the
patient has asthmatic breathing and a nervous
spasmodic
cough. General nervous hypersensitiveness is a keynote symptom.
Phos.:
delicate and sensitive adolescent. Apathetic, responds slowly and move sluggishly.
He seems weary of life and has gloomy forebodings. He has weak and "all
gone" sensations in all parts of the body. Craves salt and
iced
drinks. He elicits fears of being alone, of the dark, of thunder, that
something will happen. He is indifferent to friends and loved ones. He has
vivid imaginations.
Ph-ac.:
similar to Phos. in some respects, but these patients complain of crushing
weight on vertex, occiput, and nape of neck. A painless diarrha is common. The
nervous system is in a state of debility without erethism.
There are
profuse night sweats. This remedy is a great tonic to young people who are
over-grown. To be considered for the chronic and long lasting effects of grief.
Calc-p.:
tonic of pregnancy and prophylactic to toxemias and anĉmias. This remedy seems
to regulate calcium-phosphorus metabolism and is a catalyst for the
assimilation of iron.
