When carefully selected remedies fail (especially in acute cases),
Sulphur often succeeds in triggering reactions and clears up the case. [Allen]

Psorinum often succeeds in triggering reactions and clears up the case. [Allen]
Scrofulous, psoric and chronic diseases that can be traced to suppressed emotions
respond to sulphur. [Allen]
Sulphur facilitates the absorption of serous or inflammatory exudates in the brain, pleura, lungs and joints when Bryonia, Kalium Mur. or other remedies fail. [Allen]
Nux Vomica: Connot keep from falling asleep in the evening long before bedtime and awakes at 3 or 4 a.m.;
falls into dreamy sleep at daybreak and feels tired and weak for the rest of the day.
This is the reverse of Pulsatilla. [Allen]
"What Pulsatilla is at puberty, Graphites is at the climacteric".
In diseases where suppuration seems inevitable, Hepar may open the abscess and hasten the
cure (Allen).
Aconite should never be given simply to control fever and never be
alternated with other drugs for that purpose (Allen).
Aconite causes only functional disturbance, no evidence that it can
produce tissue change - its action is brief and shows no periodicity.
Its sphere is in the beginning of an acute disease and not to be
continued after pathological change comes.
