Get the pace, the periodicity ofremedies. Some remedies have a continued fever, some a remittent, others an intermittent fever. In and we have three different paces, three different motions, three different formsof velocity; so in --a different form, a different development.Some would not hesitate in a continued fever to give , but its complaints come on in great haste,with great violence and have nothing in their nature like a continued fever. This is not like typhoid. and have no manifestations of typhoid, even if the symptoms are present. Be sure thatthe remedy has not only the group of symptoms, but also the nature of the case. The typhoid case has alikeness in or , but not in We owe no obedience to man, not even to our parents,after we are old enough to think for ourselves. We owe obedience to truth.Natr-mur. is a long acting remedy; its symptoms continue for years; it conforms to slowcoming,long-lasting, deep-seated symptoms. It requires a long time for a man to be brought under theinfluence of it, even when moderately sensitive.The chill comes in the morning at 10:30; every day, every other day, every third or fourth day.The chill begins in the extremities which become blue; there is throbbing pain in the head, the face isflushed; delirium, taking of everything, constant, maniacal actions. They grow worse until a congestiveattack comes. During the entire attack there is thirst for cold water. During the coldness he is not > byheat, not > by piling on the clothing, but wants cold drinks. We would naturally suppose that a personfreezing to death would want warm things, but the Natr. mur. patient cannot bear them. The teethchatter, he tosses from side to side, the bones ache as if they would break, and there is vomiting as incongestive conditions. In the fever he is so hot that the fingers are almost scorched with the intenseheat, and he goes into a congestive sleep or stupor. The sweat relieves him; the aching all over is > bythe sweat, and in time the headache passes away. There is intense chill, fever and sweat. Sometimes theattacks are in robust, strong people, but usually in the anemic, in emaciated people full of malaria;lingering, chronic cases. Complaints do not always have this long prodrome. Its most striking use is incases that have been living a long time in malarial swamps; saturated with the malarial atmosphere;they are anemic, often dropsical; in old cases that have been mixed with arsenic and quinine, the crudedrugs used by the Old School to break the fever as long as the patient is under their sway, but thepatient is sick internally even more than before, and when the condition comes back it is generally in itsoriginal form; the crude drug is usually unable to change the type of an intermittent fever. Remediesonly partly related to the case will change the character of the sickness so that no one can cure the case.The homoeopathic remedy will cure intermittent fever every time if you get the right remedy. If there isa failure the case is mixed up so that no one may be able to cure it. First of all a master must realize thecase and turn it into order so that it can then be cured. There are few men who never spoil a case ofague, because many cases come from partly developed, masked cases, the symptoms not being all out,especially in cases that have taken homoeopathic remedies.

When it hascome into better order, wait: either the whole case will subside, or another remedy will be clear. Thereare other remedies that can turn cases into order.Often cases spoiled by homeopaths can be turned into order by Marked cases withcongestion of the head, aching in the back and nausea are turned into order by . The cure ispermanent after homoeopathic prescribing; the chills do not return.Natr-mur. not only removes the tendency to intermittents, but restores the patient to health, andtakes away the tendency to colds--the susceptibility to colds, and to periodicity. It is the susceptibilitythat is removed. We know that every attack predisposes to another attack. Each attack of ague is moredestructive than the previous one. The drugs used increase the susceptibility; the homoeopathic remedyremoves the susceptibility. Homoeopathic treatment tends to simplify the human economy and to makediseases more easily managed. Unless this susceptibility be eradicated, man goes down lower andlower into emaciation---emaciation from above downwards.Children born in a malarial region are likely to go into marasmus. They have a voraciousappetite, a wonderful hunger, eating much, but all the time emaciating.Conditions of pregnancy. The mammary gland waste, there is wasting of the upper parts of thebody.
