Dr W. J. Grimes, East Liverpool, Ohio has reported that he “was called to see Mrs R, age 36.
Paralysis of left side; Had been treated about one month by another M.D. I found her in bed,
unable to walk. I put her on Kali Phos, every four hours in alternation with Magnes. Phos. every
four hour. Her improvement was soon noted, and after two months treatment she was walking the
streets with almost complete use of the paralysed parts. No other remedies were used; have had
other similar cases with same results.”
