{{anchor:s3}}Magnesia Phosphorica is one of the most important of the Twelve Tissue Remedies introduced by Schuessler. {{anchor:s4}}It still awaits proving, but the symptoms obtained from clinical practice, vouched for by good authorities, are sufficiently numerous and important to warrant us in giving it a place in the present work. {{anchor:s5}}We print Hering's own arrangement, with additions from current literature to date, and hope the drug will soon receive the careful attention at the hands of provers it deserves. {{anchor:s6}}--EDS.
