2. BACILLINUM TUBERCULINUM CASES



“P.S.-Since the above was written I have seen the patient again (March 22d) and found him looking the picture of health. He has returned to his old employment and is able to run up and down stairs more briskly than many of his fellow-workmen.

“I will only add to the above record that I have not found anything to antidote the effects of Bacillin, and that I have often given remedies to patients under the influence of it without, apparently, any interference in the action of either; and further, I have not been able to discover any difference in the action of Bacillin made by Dr. Heath and Koch’s Tuberculin in homoeopathic attenuation; and I should judge that the pathogenesis of Koch’s Tuberculin collected by me in the `Homoeopathic World,’ vol. xxvi., 1891, would be applicable as indications for the use of either.

“I fear you will find more copy than you expected when you asked for my experience. The only reason why I stop now is that I must stop somewhere. I send this as a thank-offering for your first edition, which put into my hands such a mighty healing dynamis.

“Yours ever,

“JOHN H. CLARKE.
