Clarke; The action of the Sodium sulphate is contrary to that of the Sodium chloride. Both, indeed, have the faculty of attracting water, but the end is a contrary one. In consequence of the activity excited by Nat. sul. in the epithelial cells in the urinary canals, superfluous water with the products of the tissue changes, dissolved or suspended therein, flows into the kidneys.

Mag. c. has many points of contact with Gels., Cham. and Ars. in nervous irritation and sleeplessness. But the nervousness of Mag. c. is of the type of nerve exhaustion... "Water containing Magnesia and that coming from magnesian limestone districts is peculiarly soft to the feel. There is reason for supposing that this softness has a soothing effect upon the nervous system when used in the form of baths e.g., Buxton and Matlock in England." Indicated for "worn out women " that is, the state of nervousness induced by excess of the cares and worries of life.

Mag. m. first appeared in Hahnemann's Chronic Diseases. The general feature of Mag. c. appears in many symptoms, notably those of nervous disturbance and hysteria. Patient is anxious, restless, always agg by mental exertion; during or after dinner seized with nausea, eructations, trembling and faint spells, amel by eructations. Palpitation agg when quiet, amel moving about. Perversions of taste and smell are marked in Mag. iii., and I have frequently restored with it loss of taste and smell after influenza.

Hering says it is suited to: Young and very strong persons; teething children.

They talk about "things" but give nothing of a personal nature away. You find yourself wondering if the actually is a person in there at all ... they'r just blank. Their persuits are frivolous too, little jobs, gardeners, tinkering with cars. Nothing that requires commitment, not even a home, they are always on the move. Maybe becoming so disorganised that they end up Dossing on someones couch. Poor ability to make sequential judgements may be a the root of it. Pot or L.S.D. problems?

Hahnemann was quick to perceive that Graph. was much more than a mere remedy for skin affections. Like that other great skin remedy, Sulphur, Graph proved to be a leading antipsoric.

Sulphur throws things out, like the Vital Force itself, it has a centrifugal energy. There is heat, fire and volcanic action in Sulphur, and like a volcano we also see images of smoldering, decay and extinction.
