His treatment is rough, painful, and slightly disfiguring, but it cures without operation, and better. It consists essentially in cupping and the application of his ammoniacal pomade and some general treatment with diet.
In cases in which homoeopathy had failed either wholly or in part, we might have recourse to it; and in those cases in which homoeopathy had at first been beneficial, and then the cataract seemed at a standstill, I should not shrink from a trial of dry cupping and the gentle use of his pomade. Then would recur to the more radical and scientific homoeopathic treatment. And to give an occasional stir-up to a very hard cataract, Goudret’s treatment might be useful.
Having thus wandered a little in, and called from the literature of cataract, and considered also the mature and seat of the opacity and the histogenesis of the lens and of its capsule, it now only remains for me to give a little more of my own experience, which is neither special nor large, and then some general notions on its treatment, as they are present to my mind.
Burnett was one of the first to speak about vaccination triggering illness. This was discussed in his book, Vaccinosis, published in 1884. He introduced the remedy Bacillinum. He authored twenty books, including the much loved "Fifty Reason for Being a Homeopath." He was the editor of The Homoeopathic World.
