In my view the vaccination was the determining factor in this case, which also illustrates Dr. Cooper’s axiom about interference with the lumen of the intestinal tract militating against possible cure. Again and again the remedies controlled the violence of the disease, though only temporarily. Before the indiscretion of the over-fatigue I had hopes of the patient’s recovery. That she was able to do the walk at all was clear evidence of how much ground had been gained, and as I never imagined that she would attempt any such thing, I did not think of warning her against it. In critical cases of this kind one cannot bee too definite in one’s instructions. Recovery hangs on a thread anyway, and the least over-strain may make all the difference.
