EXPERIENCES WITH POTENCIES

by

I found out that for several years have a free prosperity and a freer exchange of thought she had been in the habit of taking one or two aspirin tablets a day, just on general principles (which seems to be the way to prescribe that poison). While the above symptoms do not definitely indicate Nux vomica, I felt that this remedy was needed to clear away the suppressive effects of aspirin, hoping when that was accomplished that the true picture of her condition would be apparent.

That this line of approach was the right one is evidenced by the fact that she has shown a steady improvement to the present time. No other medication has been received except placebo– and she is NOT taking any more aspirin. I last saw her three weeks ago. A number of arthritic symptoms are beginning to appear, and I have learned that she first began to take aspirin a number of years ago for an arthritis which she thought she had cured by it. Eventually she will need some other constitutionally and deeper acting remedy which will cure the real trouble. Nux vomica in the meantime has simply been clearing the way for it.

The seven cases presented are simple run-of-the-mill types. You all meet them every day in your own work. They are brought before you, not with the idea of making Sutherland great, but with the hope of making homoeopathy greater.

Allan D. Sutherland
Dr. Sutherland graduated from the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia and was editor of the Homeopathic Recorder and the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
