My personal observation in the treatment of nearly one hundred and fifty cases of this disease leads me to favor solidified carbon dioxid, the high-frequency currents and the X-rays in the ordered named, with guaiacol, adrenalin chlorid and calamin as simple adjuvants.
Internal treatment includes the necessary tonic measures, laxatives, intestinal ferments and a strict regulation of diet, based on each individual case after careful observation on the part of the physician, including repeated examinations of the urine. Most patients need more water between and less with their meals and all need to omit stimulating food and drink. Exercise, bathing, clothing and all other elements which regulate physiological living may need attention. These methods, combined with a carefully prescribed remedy, will usually suffice in a simple case without any radical external treatment and are of immense value in even the severe types. Almost any remedy may be properly prescribed on a totality of symptoms, but the virtue of the following I can personally affirm: Apis, Arsenicum, Arsenicum iod., Fluor. acid, Hydras., Hydrocot., Kali mur., Ledum, Natrum mur., Rhodo., Rhus tox., Pet., Sepia and Sulphur.
