Belladonna, like Chamomila, and Cina seems especially- useful for children. The mental symptoms are different; the same is true of Aeon, and Bell. If with a fever the patient is drowsy or sleeping much, with sudden starts, Bell will control the fever better than Aconite.

Bell, is one of the first remedies to be thought of in violent throbbing headache, acute diseases of the brain, see “Guiding Symptoms.”
In sore throat which is dry and highly inflamed with slight exudation, such as follows severe colds.
In scarlet fever Bell, easily stands first both as a curative and preventive remedy. The character of the eruption and the appearance of the skin is very characteristic and an important guide for Bell.

In acute diseases of children, the choice is often between Bell, and Acon. The mental symptoms are very different.

In Bell, senses are all very acute and yet with a tendency to drowsiness. It is chiefly useful in acute diseases and the trained observer will discover many of the more important symptoms by the appearance and action of the patient; the remedy is prompt in action and should be given less frequently or discontinued when the patient is improved.

In semi-chronic and constitutional diseases Calcara Carb. will often have the preference over Bell. Both are very similar in action and both are indispensable in the treatment of children.
