A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In reply to my questions she told me that she had had pains in the back for some considerable time with a feeling of numbness. There was often a bubbling sensation in the region of the kidneys, and that the pains were worse when tired. This seemed to indicated Berberis vulgaris and I promptly gave her four drops in the 30th decimal potency. She returned in the two days.

TWO AUSTRALIAN CURES

Pulsatilla was given at once. She was 49 years of age, born in India. As a baby her mother gave quinine and brandy as a prophylactic for malaria. At 8 years of age she commenced to vomit about every eight or nine days, and been subject to this for 41 years. When she came to me her case was chronic, having to take to her bed for one day per week. The vomit was mainly also neuritis in the right hip.
