## Keynote Indications
The number of people who “cannot take cod -liver oil” is very great, which means that Ol -j. 
is a pathogenic as well as a curative agent. 
Neidhard proved it and elicited some very definite symptoms and to these have been adde d curative and 
pathogenic effects observed on patients. The oil contains a large number of proximate principles of great 
complexity to which its specific medicinal properties are due. 
Decided pains in the liver and liver region with great soreness were not ed in Neidhard's provings and these 
symptoms give one of the keynotes of the remedy as soreness. Not only the liver, but the throat, chest, 
abdomen, kidneys, ovaries, joints and back are all sore. The spine is sore as in spinal irritation.  
Sore pains. Burning in spots. Rheumatic disorders. Pains in liver region.  Yellow discharges. Scrofulous 
diseases. Faulty nutrition.  Emaciation. Anemia, weakness. Deficiency of vital heat. Always taking cold. 
Lassitude. Hot hands and head. Frontal headaches, over right eye, bursting after coughing. Palpitations of the 
heart, with cough, short breath. 
The nutrition of the skin is improved and the medicinal properties of the oil are  
absorbed without any tax being put on the organs of digestion. Burnett said that olive oil and  almond oil acts 
as well. 
Atrophy of infants,  emaciation with hot handle and head, restless and feverish at night. Emaciated, 
dwarfish, chilly babies and children, a nightly rubbing with cod liver oil soon revolutionizes their condition. 
Children who cannot tolerate milk.
COMMENTS - Ol-j. is a liver remedy, an ally of Choi., confirmed by the provings. Burnett noted that cod liver 
oil is a nutrient and affects the chest, liver, pancreas and tendons. Internally, a nutrient and a hepatic and 
 
 
pancreatic remedy. 
Burnett showed that ringw orm generally has its constitutional basis in a tuberculosis miasm. In recent 
ringworm, the application of the plain oil at bedtime is at once the most innocent and most effectual of known 
local measures. Before the application, the part should be washed well with soft soap.
