![Toothache, which will be found below with Hering’s prefatory remarks. One or two additions of my own will be found in brackets.] “It should be taken into consideration that not all the symptoms mentioned under a remedy are necessarily to be found in the patient, but that all, or at least the greater part, of the symptoms of the patient must be found under the remedy selected. “ To explain this, we will give the following ex¬ ample :—A patient has violent tearing or drawing pains in different places, and tearing in the gums (a); sometimes tearing pain extending into the head (b); cold air causes it and makes it worse (c); it is mostly worst in the morning (d) ; accompanied by deter¬ mination of blood to the head (e). “ Among the different symptoms, we find for— “ (a) Pains in the gums: Mercurius, Pulsatilla, Staphisagria, Hepar, Arsenicum, Carbo vegetabilis, Hyoscyamus, Calcarea. “(b) Which extend to the head : Mercurius, Staphisagria, Nux vomica, Chamomilla, Sulphur, Arsenicum, Antimonium crudum, Rhus, Hyoscyamus. “ (c) Worse in cold air: Belladonna, Mercurius, Staphisagria, Sulphur, Hyoscyamus. “ (d) Worse in the morning : Ignatia, Mercurius, Pulsatilla, Phosphoric acid, Staphisagria, Bryonia, Nux vomica. Cinchona, Sulphur, Arsenicum, Hyo¬ scyamus. “ (e) Determination of blood to the head : Aconite, Pulsatilla, Cinchona, Hyoscyamus, Calcarea. “ After striking out all the remedies that occur here only once or twice you will find that Pulsatilla, Staphisagria, Sulphur, Arsenicum, occur three times ; Mercurius, four times ; Hyoscyamus, five times ; now, examine the symptoms under Hyoscyamus, and you will find that Hyoscyamus or Mercurius answers best. “ The remedies in italics are more frequently indi cated than the others and are therefore of more importance.”](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29811302_0323.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
