- SUDARSHAN SR ,NON MALARIAL FEVERS  KENT: “If you will observe the weather conditions in sharp climates such as Minnesota, Massachusetts and Canada, you will find that the cold spells are very intense and that people, when exposed, come down with complaints very rapidly and violently. That is the way the Bell. And Acon. Cases com on, but Gels. Complaints do not come from such causes nor appear that way. Its complaints are more insidious and come on with a degree of slowness.”  ”When we think of the climate, and consider the people and the pace of remedies, we see that Gels. Is a remedy for warm climates, while Acon. Is a remedy for colder climates.”  ”It is only a short acting remedy, though slow in its beginning. In this it is like Bry.”  ”With the coldness of the extremities, the very dark red countenance, the dazed condition of the mind, the glassy eyes and dilated pupils, we have the neck drawn back and rigidity of the muscles of the back of the neck,...

Talking, passive delirium, imaginations, illusions, hallucinations; talking rousing up and talking with a delirious manifestation, and then stupor. These alternate through complaints.”  ”He is in alternate states. One minutes he raves, and another he scolds in delirium, in excitement; the next he is in stupor. Finally in a typhoid state, after he has progressed some time he passes into quite a profound stupor. Early in the case he can be roused and he answers questions correctly, and he seems to know what you have said to him, but the instant he finishes the last answer he appears to be sound asleep.”  ALLEN: “In delirium, Hyos.

When sufficiently acute to send him to bed are worse from the warmth of bed, so that he is forced to uncover, but after he uncovers and cools off he gets worse again, so that he has difficulty in keeping comfortable. This applies to the pain, the fever, ulcers and eruptions and the patient himself.”  ”Think of Merc., it you are called to a child with sweating of the head, dilated pupils, rolling of the head, and aggravation at night, who has had scarlet fever or a suppressed ear discharge. Merc. Cures lingering febrile conditions analogous to the typhoid state, but caused by suppressed ear discharge.”  ”Merc., is full of fever. Very seldom, however, has it a true, idiopathic, continued fever. It stands very low for continued fever.

In a general way, the aching pains, the bruised feelings over the body, restlessness throughout the limbs, and amelioration from motion are features that prevail throughout all conditions of Rhus…….Any continued exertion of the body or mind exhausts the Rhus patient.

-SUDARSHAN SR ,NON MALARIAL FEVERS  In some cases of fever it happens that there are concomitant symptoms that are characteristic of a remedy which is not known to be a fever remedy. In such cases the remedy that is so indicated will prove to be the similimum provided no other remedy is called for by the totality of symptoms.
