If there is a history of slow or precipitate labor, use of forceps, and or slowness in recovery from birth, or difficulty in taking solids later, head injury remedies, NATRUM SULF, NATRUM MUR or CUCUTA VIROSA may be required.

Dr. Foubister, M.B., Ch.B., D.C.H. etc.

 NATRUM MUR affects a radical cure of constipation when many boasted and popular remedies fail. It is a regulator of water in the system and if moisture were drawn from rectum, loss of function results and produces constipation.

Dr. Heselton.

 

Against the ravages of Malaria, both prophylactic and curative, we will require the study and use of a larger group of remedies.  Yet a sufficiently narrow group of the most often indicated with enable the prescriber readily to cure 95% of the cases.  Starting with NATRUM MUR, ARSENICUM ALBUM second and CHINA SULPH third, these remedies properly given in a highly malarial district will afford certain protection against the disease.  And if the disease were present in an individual, these same 3 remedies need to be studied and compared for the selection of the curative agent.
