at Chennai, he find remedy to the case This case exhibits only partial picture of the patient. The given symptoms per se, the partial totality, point mainly to Sulphur. In my experience, Sulphur is a good medicine for arthritis especially for osteoarthritis. Though there are some mental symptoms like insecurity and fear, for this case they are common symptoms only. In the absence of characteristic mental symptoms, it is better to prescribe Sulphur in low potency either in 6 or 30 and to be repeated daily twice or thrice till some change - either for worse or for better - take place. Prescribing on the basis of aetiology, miasms and pathology also may be needed if the case becomes refractive to the so-called indicated remedy - Sulphur, in this case. If Sulphur low potency does not give any improvement, retaking the case and understanding the patient's past history especially menstrual history, past life situation and present life situation and her temperament may give some ideas in relation to aetiology and miasm. The effect of bereavement (she being a widow) and the effect of dependency (if she is dependent on others) also have to be studied to get the clues for the right remedy. It is my suggestion to consider Natrum sulph. on the basis of sycotic nature, obesity and diabetes. Dr. S. Mohamed Aleem, Dr. Koppikar's Homoeo Clinic, 44, Mahalakshmi Street, T.
