MEDICAL ASTROLOGY
In giving the drugs ruled by the signs and planets many must necessarily be omitted for the lack of proof as to their respective places in the list. We must remember that two drugs made from almost the same substance do not act the same; viz., Nux Vomica and Ignatia are both forms of Strychnine, but their action is not alike by any means.
