Sulphur, Hepar, Calc. Sulph. and Sepia are the exceptions; few antipsorics
bear repetition.
Sulphur, Calcarea, Syphilinum, Tuberculinum, Carbo vegetables are
sure to cause reaction when well-chosen remedies fail to act. This
is especially true of Sulphur in acute cases.
Moschus acts beneficially when the disorder does not follow its
normal course but remains uncured or develops serious symptoms indicating
nervous exhaustion.
Aurum, Asafoetida, Castoreum, at time may be given in cases of women
who are nervous and do not react after illness.
Bovista, in urticaria or other eruptive diseases when Rhus toxicodendron
fails to act though apparently indicated.
Mercurius: With this remedy water treatment should be carefully
avoided in acute or chronic cases.
Lachesis is especially useful when paroxysms of fevers return after
taking acids.
Colchicum hastens relapse of gout if abused.
Phosphorus, Iodine, Mercurius generally act better in warm dry rather
than cold wet weather.

effects frequently follow.
Kali carbonicum will bring on menses when Natrum muriaticum, although
indicated fails.

and well-trained nervous systems.

evening and until midnight.
Ailanthus odorata affects women and children more than men, and
old people least of all.

until eight or ten hours after taking. No similarity to Colchicum.

because administration is almost always followed by an aggravation.

frequently brings the desired effect.
