I felt that this was a symptom of the next reme- dy [Generalities, Bones, complaints of, brit- tle (22)], and that the shift to that next rem-edy had occurred. None of Tomʼs othersymptoms were especially pronounced,but he did have “horrible breath”.

Over the fol-lowing year, Tom was given ascending po-tencies of Calcarea carbonica: 30 C, 200 C, bonica 30 C. Three days later he was clearly 1 M, and 10 M.
