-SUDARSHAN SR ,NON MALARIAL FEVERS
 KENT: “Violent chill intermingled with heat and sweat, or dry heat with marked aching in the limbs; restlessness relieved by motion and heat. The sore, bruised condition is as marked as in Arn. And Bapt.; the aching in the bones like Eup-per., the restlessness, relieved by motion and heat like Rhus., complaints come on from becoming cold, and from cold damp weather.”
 ”These features are found in hectic fevers in the last stage of phthisis, as well as septic fevers. It aborts puerperal fever in a few hours when clearly indicated. In cases of typhoid where there is the confusion like that found in Bapt. And the heat is too intense for that remedy, Pyr., should always be considered. When the temperature reaches 106° and there is great soreness and aching this remedy will make great changes in a single day; but if the pains are better by motion and heat; it will abort the fever.”
 ”When the pulse is extremely high, and the temperature not correspondingly high this remedy will be useful. On the other hand, when the pulse and temperature are out of rhythm either way this remedy should be considered if the case is of septic origin.”
 ”It is a most useful remedy when there is threatening heart failure in septic and zymotic fevers……..It will often save life in the most dangerous and rapid septic fevers.”
