TIPS ABOUT CICUTA VIROSA…
Dr Baker of Moravia cured, during an epidemic of Cerebrospinal meningitis, 60 cases of all degrees without a loss of a single case; He thinks CICUTA VIROSA as near a specific for this disease can be.

This remedy is useful as an adjunct to control epileptic seizures. I do not know how many allopathic physicians would dare try it in cases of Tetanus or Cerebro-spinal Meningitis. But, if the patients were moribund and not responding to therapy in these two indications, it would be worth trying this remedy.
