It is very well worthwhile to consider homoeopathic treatment in the case of backward children and the fairly high grade mentally defectives.

Nearly all mongols benefit definitely, physically and mentally by receiving constitutional homoeopathic treatment, and that by this means the most can be made of the material available. Medorrhinum is a near specific, Carcinosin, Sepia, Baryta carb, and other remedies may be required.
