Better during sleep,<br \/>\naggravated at stool and by emotions, Ignatia failed. Mag Phos 6x, for<br \/>\nthree months, produced gratifying results, but did not fully cure.<br \/>\nActing on Dr Schussler\u2019s advice, Calcarea Phos. 6x was given<br \/>\nalternately with Magnesia Phos; the former once daily, the latter<br \/>\ntwice. In one month the child was cured.\u201d (D.B.

The improvement which followed was slow, but<br \/>\nabundantly manifest.\u201d<br \/>\n2) Cuprum Met 12x: It may be given three times daily for a week. It is<br \/>\ncurative in jerking &amp; twitching of muscles; cramps in palms, calves and soles;<br \/>\ntonic spasms.
