Therapeutics.
In Homoeopathic Materia Medica there are numerous remedies containing symptoms pertaining to Impotence, elicited during provings. I went through the Materia Medica by different writers and compiled important peculiar symptoms under different heads in full as elicited in provings, for easy reference. Hereunder I am giving the symptoms pertaining to Impotency, compiled so far in the hope that they may be of some use to the readers of NJH. I hope many more symptoms and remedies will be added as my study progresses.
