The Obstetrician of Durham College in 1901 at a clinic, witnessed by a group of students, changed a breech presentation to a normal delivery in less than a minute by 1 dose of PULSATILLA CM. Dr. Kent reported a similar result, In fact, there are several cases on record. When you have a case of prolonged labor with no progress, in a woman inclined to be fat, with a mild, tearful disposition, who pleads with you to open the window, as she is smothering, and you think it is a case for forceps delivery, just hunt for the forceps, while your nurse gives the patient a dose of PULSATILLA anywhere from 30 to the CM. You will lay your forceps aside unless there is a malformation.

If there are no specific reasons for other remedies, I start treatment in young girls with mild catarrhal discharge (leucorrhoea) by giving PULSATILLA especially if the discharge is thick like cream, and then SULFUR or SEPIA according to symptoms.
