COLITIS



Much to the mothers joy the motion were slightly more yellow, did not look like frogs spawn any more. Another dose of the same medicine was given, end of October. Altogether some half a dozen doses of Carbonate of Magnesia were dispensed until the middle of February, that is in four months. He has had nothing since, he has never ailed anything, there has never been any trouble with his teeth.

At 7 months he had his first tooth, at 8 months he had six teeth, at II months eight teeth, his height was 28 inches. At a year he weighted 22 lbs., and was the proud possessor of ten teeth. And his colitis went gradually. The first time his motions were yellow and firm, his motions were yellow and firm, his mother rushed to her neighbours to tell them the tidings of great joy. That was at 7 months.

At 13 months he is absolutely the picture of health, robust, rosy, full of life, full of mischief, of course walking for weeks, talking – and No COLITIS! Where is the congenital dilatation of the colon Gone where the good niggers go, gone for ever, never to return. Impossible you will say I am romancing, to put it mildly.

Ask the mother, ask the neighbours, ask the nurse who saw him weekly at the weighing centre, they will tell you the same story. A few simple powders worked the miracle. And thanks be to God who opened the eyes of his servant Hahnemann to show his successors the way they should go to heal the sick by such simple means.
