W. Yingling

William A. Yingling, MD, author of "Accoucheur's Emergency Manual". Born: 12-01-1851 - Died : 03-04-1933 YINGLING, lived and practiced in Emporia, KS from 1896 until his death. He was educated for medical missionary work, but after receiving his appointment to go to Bombay, India he became ill and could not carry out that mission. He filled the pulpit at Findlay, OH for seven years, and then moved to Dodge City where he engaged in the cattle business. He named the Ness county town of Nonchalanta in 1886. He reluctantly returned to the practice of medicine to relieve the suffering in the area north of Dodge City. His practice became extensive, extending to the neighboring states. He was quite religious and missed Methodist church services just once in 32 years.

EASY CHILDBIRTH

PREGNANCY being a normal condition is, of necessity, a healthful condition, other things and conditions being normal.The administration of the proper homeopathic remedy six weeks or two months before the expected confinement will make labour easy and shorten the time very materially.

A SERIES OF CASES HOMOEOPATHICALLY TREATED

On the occasion of my recent visit to Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1931, my attention was directed to several specimens of a small worm in alcohol, about one inch in length and the thickness of a hat pin. The name of the worm was Arlome. The information given herewith was supplied by Drs. J.F. Gonzalez and Ignacio Montoya of Guadalajara.

SACCHARUM LACTIS

Faecal odor of body, or only hands, before stool passing away after stool. Great soreness around anus, passing up rectum three inches. It has a number of important rectal symptoms; also urinary. Heart symptoms are marked and peculiar. Sensitive in every part of body. Restless at night caused by itching all over body as soon as covered in bed.

TELA ARANEA

The wound gave me no trouble and soon healed. Calendula succus will do the same, stopping the flow of blood and healing the wound by first intention. The cobweb used in the above incident was covered with dust and more or less dirt, but there was no sepsis or other trouble. It is not that which goes into a wound (within reason) that causes trouble, but that which is kept in, or is within.

SOME OBSTETRICAL THOUGHTS

The elite,city dwellers,the personally clean in body and environments, seem to be more subject to this calamity than the rural dwellers and the poor. The former class environments and by the best physicians. the latter class are not so situated nor are they financially able to have such help and are frequently waited upon by kind neighbors or midwives.

A CLINICAL CASE

For several years I have had a very annoying and persistent urinary trouble that has baffled me. I have searched the books and journals hoping to find a clue, but without avail. I have had a very sudden urging to void urine which was imperative, and unless I hurried to the close I would wet my pants in spite of all I could do. Sometimes when trying to finish waiting on patients the flooding would occur, to my chagrin and grief.
