These superficial, spasmodic, jerking attacks limit themselves now, as the proving is getting weaker and weaker, almost exclusively to the region of the spleen, the left dorsal region. They come and go suddenly and remind me of a possible usefulness of this remedy in two other conditions that usually remain uncured, namely, epilepsy and congestive chill. This remedy deserves further proving.
Pulsatilla affects the dorsum of the feet.-C.M. BOGER.
Nux vomica is abusive, whereas Mercurius is malign. -G.BOERICKE.
In laryngeal diphtheria with Lachesis symptoms I give Swans DMM every two hours. This is a fluxion potency and is equivalent to about the 8th potency. If you give Lach. 200 or 1M you should raise the potency every 12 hours, the idea being to change the plane of the remedy. After the DMM I am likely to go down to the CMM, as the innermost which corresponds to the higher potency must be affected first.-C.M. BOGER.
