     ]

Last summer my second daughter returned from a visit to New Jersey with an immense wart on her hand. In a few days she was taken quite ill with fever, which I took to be of a bilious nature; gave Natrum sulph. She became deeply jaundiced and grew worse while taking this remedy. I then changed to Kali mur. and she began to improve immediately and was well in a few days. After she had taken a few doses of the Kali mur. the jaundice began to abate and the wart fell off.
