AVOIDABLE OPERATIONS

by

Plumbum: Tense swelling caecal region, its great characteristic being, however, retraction of abdominal wall. Eructation of gas and vomiting, both having faecal odour.

I have peculiar symptom representing Lachesis. One was in a patient suffering from puerperal convulsions, the symptom being intense rigor with the patient begging to be held by attendants, and in one instance begging that somebody sit on his chest and on his legs. The patient was permanently cured by six doses of the 4m potency.

The same symptom was present in a patient suffering from a septic gall bladder, and the cure was prompt.

ACUTE SUPPURATIVE MASTOIDITIS.

Capsicum: Swelling and pain behind the ear. Burning and stinging in the ear. Sensitiveness, especially at the tip of the mastoid.

Belladonna: The symptoms are too well known for details.

Ammonium picricum: Boring pain extending to ear, orbit and jaw.

A careful study along the lines suggested in this paper will spare many a patient a more or less serious surgical operation, and redound to the honour of Samuel Hahnemann and to the credit of the homoeopathic school practice.

  4. OPERATIONS OBVIATED BY HOMOEOPATHY The history had been an appendicitis operation several years before, followed a year later by a second operation for adhesions that had formed. During the second operation, or following it, she had had a tube left in her side for months, draining, but after that was taken out there was a great mass of adhesions reformed, and that was the condition that I found a perfectly solid mass of adhesions around that right abdominal region....
