THREE REMEDIES FOR AFTER EFFECTS IN A R P WORKS

Insect sting on face which patient scratched: secondary infection set in, leaving black scar surrounded by bright red inflammatory streaks, with much burning. Treated by Ledum, Ars., but persisted for two weeks. Anthracinum 200, one dose cleared up whole trouble in three days.

ON VALUES AND IN PARTICULAR THAT OF THE HOMOEOPATHIC LAW

These acute manifestations are better not treated Homoeopathically, for they represent Natures effort to throw off externally the inward toxins-usually a couple of day on a diet of fruit juice is quite sufficient to tide over such acute crises. After the acute crisis is over we may find it necessary to retake the case; perhaps repeat the original remedy in a higher potency, or give another.

HOMOEOPATHY IN ITS RELATIONSHIP TO HUMAN BEHAVIOUR

Paracelsus was once called in consultation with others to see a very sick man. One diagnosed cholera, another said something else, and a third an “evil spirit”; but Paracelsus said “Arsenic”. Take this for what it is worth, perhaps only a whim of medieval history. But that is what we are-Arsenic, Calcarea, Natrum mur., Phosphorus and all the rest. Not sinful; but just ill humans needing the touch of some potentized natural product.
