Therefore Nat. mur 6, and that six grains in water forenoon and afternoon. After taking 24 powders he returned cured of all the symptoms except the odour of the urine and the emaciation, and “feeling very much better”. The prescription was repeated and patient did not return. His father subsequently informed me that the cure was complete.
OBS. XIII.
Young lady about 28 years of age: emaciation, chlorosis, for eighteen months slight bearing down in the hypogastrium, gradually getting worse, and the last week increasing to very severe cramp beginning in the back and coming round to the public arch, and, when walking, felt severely in the knees, had frequently to sit down to get relief from the hypogastric pain, urine muddy for a long time, obstinate chronic constipation, the mouth is dry but there is no thirst, taste disagreeable, bitter.
Nearly all these symptoms are in the pathogenesis of Natrum muriaticum. Hence Nat. mur. 6, twenty four six grain powders taken in a fortnight resulted in the permanent disappearance of all the symptoms excepting the emaciation and the chlorotic condition, for which she was put on Phosphorus.
As to the emaciation she gained six pounds in ten weeks, but his gain in weight was partly made while under Ferrum 6, for haemoptysis, chronic cough and large moist rales in the left lung, and these symptoms having disappeared under Ferrum, she went into the country for three weeks and returned with the above symptoms.
In this case the Natrum muriaticum certainly cured the constipation and with it the intra-pubic pain.

He authored twenty books, including the much loved "Fifty Reason for Being a Homeopath." He was the editor of The Homoeopathic World.
