TIPS FROM THE MASTERS…

In a very large percentage of cases when the vomiting of pregnancy starts, a few Homeopathic doses of IPECAC will completely control it. The danger is prevented and does not need to met.
Dr. D. M. Borland, M.B., Ch.B., F.F. H.

I could not practice Medicine without IPECAC because of its importance in Hemorrhages, I mean uterine hemorrhage, hemorrhage from the kidneys, bowels, stomach, lungs. In the severest forms of uterine hemorrhage, the Homeopathic Physician is able to do without mechanical means, except where mechanical means are causing the hemorrhage.
Dr. Kent, M.D.

I would say that 8 to 9 times out of 10, IPECAC has been the one that has given me the quickest results in those children.
Dr. Roger A. Schmidt, M.D.

I have often seen one drop of IPECAC 16 C or 30 C in half hour repetition restores the normal vocal cord function at the end of 4 to 5 hours.
Dr. Cartier Williams.

IPECAC often acts like an antidote in morphine poisoning.
Dr. Chabra.

IPECAC, IRIS VERSICOLOR, SANGUINARIA, MELILOTUS along with PULSATILLA can take care of most of the headaches. And this is not after the manner of Aspirin and its companion sedatives, but carefully matched it removes it lock stock and barrel.
Dr. T.K. Moore, M.D.
