 Cimex is an ancient remedy for intermittent fever. A characteristic symptom is: Weariness and inclination to stretch.

It settled finally into what appeared likely to be permanent contraction of the lower limbs. No remedy relieved till Doctor вrewster remembered a case of intermittent fever that he had cured twenty years before, being guided by this symptom. сimex 600 (Jenichen) promptly cured.
