N. B. The effects of both remedies principally besin on the right side, extending afterwards to the left, and both are only eflective when the complaint of the patient develops in the o[)posite direction. For instance : the hardness of hearinir, which indicates Ammon. carb., is cured more effectually by it, when the complaint began on the left side and extended or threatened to extend to tlie riirht side ; — inflam- mations of the ears or earache, indicating Belladonna, are more certainly cured by it, when they appeared first on the left then on the right side.
