Some Cases by Dr Dulac



She considered the things calmly and told me that her son, full of beauty, laborious and docile to advices will easily recoup what he has lost. (Hahnemannism v. III, p. 260, 1870).

DIFFERENT INDICATIONS.

Our earth contains all the modifiers, mental as well as physical. And if we had known all these modifiers and could have used them, we would have been less surprised of some singular anomalies that we meet with in good natures. Thus I have known at Paris people of very high intelligence having some weakness which surprise me.

One was conceited, proud (Platina).

An other was naive and candid (Stram).

A third credulous up to puerility (Bell).

A fourth, without energy and without character (Petroleum).

With Platina, Stramonium, Belladonna they were made complete men. (Letter of 24-11-1876, p.1)

Alumina, Causticum, Nux vomica and Sulphur suit to those who, while healthy, were sensitive, devout, prompt and ardent, and who in consequence of a morbid state have become of a different and opposite character.

Persons who were resolute and courageous have become inconstant and pusillanimous require Nux vomica.

A man who is indifferent to things of sentiment, when he becomes jealous up to crime requires Hyoscyamus and Lachesis.

There are others for other medicines. (Letter of 5-5-1879)

After having given a medicine Nux vomica, to a patient having a psychic condition: the following day, well marked pain and numbness of the kidney and in all the limbs is for me, in case of mental diseases a proof of cure.

Because unfortunately, the mind then alone suffers, and when the sufferings appear, there is everything to be hoped.
