DIPHTHERINUM



26.1.42.-Still bronchitis, whiny and sorry for himself.

23.2.42.-Weight 28 lbs.; 16 teeth; still a few rhonchus found, left ear discharging, roughness and scaling of face and chin–Diphtherinum CM. given.

2.3.42.-Gained 2 lb. in weight, left ear dry, slight discharge of right ear; still a few spots on the face below the right eye.

19.3.42.- Weight 29 lbs.; right ear discharging–very offensive; 16 teeth–Diphtherinum CM.

7.5.42.-The last four teeth erupted, weight 30 lbs. 3 ozs.; ears no longer discharging, no treatment had been given for the ears except the occasional dose of Diphtherinum. No medicine.

18.5.42.-Repeat Diphtherinum CM. Very well, lively and bright.

8.6.42.- Diphtherinum CM. repeated.

13.7.42.-Weight 31 lbs. 12 ozs., height 2 ft. 9 ins.; well and lively. A gain of nearly 4 lbs. in a little over five months, between February 23rd and July 13th, and the eruption of four teeth, which is the remarkable result of a few doses of Diphtherinum; which also cured discharging ears and the bronchitis which came on after the diphtheria immunization in January, 1942. The child is just a picture of health, full of the joy of living, laughing and joking the whole of the time.

I have tried to show that this nosode can cure a diversity of illnesses, skin diseases, discharging ears, chronic deafness, as well as weakness, loss of weight and debility coming on as the result either of diphtheria or following after immunization against diphtheria.

A powerful remedy, powerful for good–in the potentized form.
