• He has written a book on the treatment of intermittent
fever due to

career
2. It has so often been asserted by the physician and
the laymen that the homoeopathic treatment is
totally unable to decrease the paroxysms of fever, to
remove the pathological conditions and the
symptoms incident to them i.e., to cure.
11. • Authors personal guide for the treatment of
the intermittent.
• To use this repertory, the physician must
obtain as many symptoms as possible from
the patient (symp. Related to chill, heat, sweat

he should look upon the symptoms, the
remedies indicated is noted and select the
drug which is most frequently mentioned.

symptoms in every case.
12. • Potency- from Q to CM but the best potency
is from above 200th C

many success and has saved much time.
