DISCUSSION.
DR.C.A.DIXON.To me these case reports show careful perusal of Kents Repertory, which is of course gratifying. the doctor has presented them in such a such a sketchy way that we have to read between the lines to get Kept in some places yet I know his training and I can see from the symptoms that Kept has been his guide.
There is another thing that is that gratifying about those reports. A man who can restrain himself from repeating his remedy, as has been done in these cases, can often to wonderful things in those old chronics. It takes lots of training to do it. Must of us have to get gray hair before we learn to restrain ourselves, and some never do learn.
He mentions in one case “As a child, she talked to herself”:. This is so often an illumination that comes through a table of mistreated cases. I am sure that was the angle where Natrum mur. showed up.
I have only one further comment to make. Be sure that you have your picture before you prescribe. These old chronic cases which, as Dr.Spaulding says, come to you after suppressing treatment, give us much confusion unless we can wait. Waiting often means the difference between success and failure.
Dr.B.C.WOODBURY:These cases of eczema treated with Sulphur called to my mind a case I had in a woman about forty years old, who had had chronic eczema for many years. Like some of those cases, rather than go chronic eczema for many years. Like some of those cases, rather than go about with the hands in that sticky condition, she worse gloves. I looked up her case and gave her Graphites. In one morning I think I gave her two doses. I have seen that woman since that timed, on two or three occasions, the first was probably nearly ten years ago. She has never had a single return of he eczema. This is the most striking case of eczema cure I have ever seen.
Dr.Spauldings way of treating chronic asks reminds me a great deal of Dr.Sloans way of prescribing. Dr.Sloan is a grate man of Sulphur. Certainly Sulphur in Sulphur cases will do the work. I think if we had more men coming along in the I.H.A. who had the methods of Dr.Spaulding, we would not be at a loss to fill out Translations with valuable material.
The advances in pathology, great as they have been, have not altered the relation which the phenomena of natural disease bear to those of drug disease. These phenomena respectively, whether rudely apprehended or clearly and fully understood in all their relations to each other expressed by the law similar similibus curantur. And we can imagine no possible development of the sciences of pathology and pathogens which could alter this relation-CARROLL DUNHAM, M.D. These characteristics are unquestionably the most import element in the choice of the most appropriate remedy; and nothing attests more surely and conclusively the skillful readiness of a homoeopathic practitioner than the faculty of brings to light, in his examination of the patient, those symptoms which, while they are of are occurrence and belong to but few remedies-yet and for that very reason, furnish definite and unquestionably indication of one single drug-BOENNINGHAUSEN, 1866.
