Ten minute (drops) of this solution are added to ninety minims (drop) of distilled water giving two or more blows as directed above for the first solution; that is succussed twice or more times and this gives the first potency. One minim of the first potency added to 99 minims of distilled water (or alcohol if the potency is to be preserved for future use) enough to fill the potentizing bottle one-half full then succussed as before and this gives the 2nd potency. This may be continued till any desired potency is obtained and it will prove active and a wonderful remedy to heal the sick. Substances which are inert in the crude state, like salt, charcoal, silica, lycopodium, have been found most beneficial, most curative in the highest potencies.
Any potency desired of any remedy may be obtained from Boericke and Tafel, homoeopathic pharmacy, and will be perfectly reliable and true to the label and mark on the cork as to potency, by those who do not care to prepare it for themselves.
There is no power to heal the sick, no force in these potencies, which is not also contained in the crystals of salt, sodium chloride, or Natrum Muriaticum, but in the crystals it is like a strong man bound by chemical union. By the process of potentization, succussion (not simply shaking) and trituration the crude substances are too finely divided that they cannot be discovered by either microscope, or spectroscope, and thus its benign dynamic forces are set free and able to act on the human organism, beneficially and powerfully and its poisonous qualities are eliminated as in Arsenic, Belladonna, Phosphorus, etc., and these potencies are no longer subject to chemical laws as the crude original substance; Phosphorus for instance: sugar globules saturated with a high potency of Phosphorus and allowed to dry may be kept in a paper capsule in a drawer for a year and will then still be found to act as Phosphorus and not as Phosphoric Acid.
Now if you are honestly desirous of learning the truth of Homoeopathy take this remedy, Natrum Muriaticum (ordinary table salt), potentized at least to the 30th potency, take it in small doses, frequently repeated and you will see and be surprised at the result. Or try your own preparation on a patient under direction of a good homoeopathic physician (for no one can paint a fine picture though he has all the colors, brushes, etc., of an artist, unless he has studied the art of painting) and you will see a rapid and perfect cure effected.
If all doctors would only know and remember
That the patients must be treated (and no the disease according to its name as when giving antitoxine to every person for diphtheria) and that every patient differs very much from every other one, hence each one may require a different remedy.
That every patient is much more susceptible than a healthy person to the effect of medicine as well as to touch, motion, food or all other influences, and that the graver the disease the less medicine he can stand.
That disease is only a dynamic disturbance of the normal functions of the organism (not a monster) and does not require large doses of powerful and poisonous drugs to combat, and that even after pathological changes have taken place, a very small dose of the proper, indicated remedy will cure the patient.
In short, when all doctors have become strict and sincere homoeopaths then few persons will die except of old age or accidents. Thousands are now dying daily from serums so called, quinine, digitalis, etc., and mixture of drugs.
“Homoeopathy is a law of nature, like gravitation, hence infallible; only the patient or the doctor can fail.”
Miss T. M., about 30 years of age, and residing 365 miles from New York City, wrote to me for treatment. When young, 16 to 18 years of age, she had weighed about 135 pounds, but now her weight had been reduced to 90 pounds, from overwork in the household and in an office and a great disappointment. She was very despondent, cried when looked at but became angry if anyone tried to comfort her, the stools were difficult and in small balls like marbles and the menses were scanty and too late. She never had been treated by the old school doctors, but had been under the care of a homoeopath in her city without any marked improvement. Natrum Mur. in various potencies improved her at once so much that in about two months from the beginning of the treatment she had gained 35 pounds, feeling again in good spirits, and with the aid of a few other remedies like Phosphorus, Pulsatilla, Sulphur she soon was restored again to normal health.
This patient had taken salt in her daily food during all the years of her illness, yet it did not cure her, but salt, Natrum Mur. 45m. did this quickly.
