Magnesia muriatica

Summary

This paper has attempted to illustrate that Magnesia muriatica is an interesting and useful remedy which has perhaps been neglected.

The indications for its prescription in a number of patients have been discussed, and it has been suggested that it is useful in patients who are depressed, and suffer from nasal and liver troubles.

There are a number of peculiar little symptoms which might indicate that it should be prescribed when one would tend to give Lycopodium, Merc., Natrum mur., Natrum sulph., or Pulsatilla, either as a constitutional remedy or on account of the presenting symptoms.

In conclusion I have composed a little rhyme, I could hardly call it a poem, but it does at least remind us of some of the salient symptoms of this remedy, so I trust those of you who are real poets will forgive me for my levity!
