Remarks. The chief remedies running through the case. are ARs., Calc,., Causticum, Nat-c Nux-v., Phosphorus, Rhus., Sepia Giving the different types their values: (Capitals=3; Italic=2; Ordinary=1); we find that Arsenicum appears 8 times to value of 16=Ars, 8 16, Calcarea8 14; Causticum7; Nat-c. 69; Nux-v; 69; Phosphorus10 18; Rhus-t. 712; Sepia611.
The constitution of the patient suggested either Arsenicum or Phosphorus
We have thus come to these two remedies by only considering the general symptom of the patient.
The pain in (>)hot drinks;even wine which suits her generally had to be given up owing to its coldness, a nd as Phosphorus patients crave cold drinks (even ices) in gastric troubles, we are left with Arsenicum
Ars-Alb.30-3 doses a 6-hourly intervals.
Pain (>) (which had been present for years) in a few days, and in a few weeks she was almost well, being much less excitable.
This case she the importance of Generals in their order mental, climatic, desires and aversions in food; all of which must be markedly present to be of any value.

Remarks. Nat-mur. seems to suit the case, not because it is numerically highest alone but because it corresponds to the type of the patient Nat-mur has marked aversion to fats, which this patient desires: but that would not rule out the drug for this reason: that, though the desires and aversion are general symptoms, they and much lower i the scale tan the mental symptoms. /a strong mental symptom like the markedly (<) consolation would rule out many of lesser importance, Pulsatilla again could never suit this case, no matter how great its numerical value, because of he marked (<)from consolation. Repertory work is never mechanical, and is only a guide to the study of Materia Medica.
