Mrs. R., aged 45, weighing 245 pounds, could scarcely walk or get into a buggy for two years from the effects of rheumatism in her back and limbs. Malaria 1X three or four times a day. In one week she could walk as well as ever and has no rheumatism or lameness since.
Mr. S., foreman of a large saw mill, has been afflicted with rheumatism for years, stiff neck and right arm and shoulder helpless and painful. He wished to keep it from his chest and heart. Malaria 1X every two hours, when better every three hours.
In three days he was better and could turn his neck and use his arm fairly well. One week later gave him two drachms more of malaria, to be taken six hours apart. He has not had any rheumatic troubles since that time.
Mr. C., proprietor of two large saw mills, one in Arkansas, where he passes part of his time (and frequently gets wet), has been afflicted with so-called gout. I found it was of a rheumatic nature (caused by malaria) and made agg. by Quinine and external applications, I gave him Malaria 1X. In three days he was better and did not have half as many pains or aches. He took only four drachms, from three to six hours apart, and has not had any rheumatic or gouty pains since.
Mr. I. S. aged 55, a veteran and pensioner of the civil war, emaciated, bronzed in color, had not been able to walk for years.
After repairing his heart, chest, stomach, curing his piles and regulating his bowels he was content, yet he could not walk. His back had been injured in the army, and his limbs would not move at will and he could not walk alone or get out of a chair. I gave him for a week Ruta graveolens and Rhus-tox., of each the first cent., three hours apart. This amel. for a time. Concluding his trouble was due to rheumatism, caused by malaria, gave him 1X three or four times a day. In one week he rode to my house and came up and down steps alone. I gave him two drachms more and in five days he came to my office, having walked nearly three miles that morning alone. I need not say I was surprised, could hardly believe it was all due to Malaria. But it certainly was, as nothing else was taken or applied, has gained flesh and seems at least ten years younger.
