| - | First, I need to admit, the case was perhaps not as clear-cut as I first thought it was. When I originaly took it (by phone), given the specific character of the symptoms, I decided to skip the repertorisaton and proceeded with a direct search of materia medica for a few minutes, decided on a remedy and called it a prescription. The remedy worked just fine, cleared the symptoms in less than 24 hours.((If I remember correctly, the patient took the remedy in the afternoon, and the symptoms were all gone in the morning, but there appeared a new curious symptom (which I do not remember) for which I prescribed, but the patient did not take the remedy and it disappeared by itself till the afternoon.)) | + | First, I need to admit, the case was perhaps not as clear-cut as I first thought it was.

But the level of similarity is far from satisfactory here and I very much doubt we could expect a happy result from its application in this case.
