SOME REMEDIES THAT SHOULD BE PROVED



DR. C. L. OLDS: I think Dr. Stearns should be encouraged in his use of the reflexes. While they do not, of course, prove a remedy, they do give us some indications as to possibilities. I think it is very useful. There are certain remedies about which we know very little. We get the indications. We know very little about the possibilities of some of our remedies. As long as we live, as long as the human race goes on, there will be something new brought out all the time.

DR. C. C. WALTENBAUGH: I had a patient come into my office one day who had an injury to his eye. He worked in the shop, chiseling metal off, and a piece hit him and the water was running from his eye in a stream. His eye was bloodshot. I gave him Arnica. I thought that was all right and would fix it up nicely. In the evening he called up and said his eye wasnt any better, that the pain was intense and water was running out of it. I told him to come back again. He did, and I gave him Symphytum; I think it was 200th. In a couple of hours he had little pain, all the red matter and livery-looking condition had disappeared, and he could put his finger on his eye and push it. He said, “I am ready for another one now.” Arnica never touched it, but Symphytum knocked it out in a hurry.
