70. One has over and over again seen shingles clear up with two or three doses of Ran. b. 10M.
71. Nat. m., Sepia and Calc. very seldom bear repetition in chronic cases.
72. Acon. will seldom or never cure a quiet, calm, equable patient. Nux v. will not cure where the disposition is mild and phlegmatic. Puls. will not cure if happy, gay and obstinate. If imperturbable and not easily frightened, do not use Ign.
73. Unless there are specific indications for some other drug, I begin all cases of intermittent fever with Ipecac., thus curing many cases by the first prescription and saving myself much unnecessary seeking and comparing.
74. A Kali c. characteristic: Any bang, shock, bad news or fear is felt in the stomach.
75. Ign. also has a gone feeling at the pit of the stomach of nervous origin.
76. Cham. is unsuited for patients who bear pain calmly and patiently.
77. Ferr. ph. in earache and mastoiditis leads everything. More cases of mastoiditis call for Ferr. ph. than any other remedy. It equals Cham. in earache of children. It may be repeated often. Use the DM.
78. In earache do not use Ferr. ph. below the 12th. The low will often work when the high fails.
79. Interstitial keratitis: Merc. c. 2c., three doses, twelve hours. In one week use the 203rd with same dosage. Next week use the 205th. Raise the potency each fourth dose.
80. Puls., above all other remedies, has the power to unlock suppressions of modern serum therapy.
81. When the well selected remedy acts only a short time and the symptoms agree, consider Sulph., Calc. s., Psor., Tub., Med. or other nosodes.
82. It is rarely advisable to begin treatment of a chronic case with Lyc.
83. In the desire for salt and fat, Sulph. only competes with Nit. ac., but in lower type.
84. Where the tenderness of a perforating wound is worse than the appearance would suggest, think of Hyper. rather than Led.
85. Among the antidotes of Merc. (Hep. cold, Kali i. hot) especially when the mercurialization has taken an excitable form, consider Nit. ac.
86. In obstinate cases of sterility study Nat. c.
87. Diphtheria prophylactic: Think of Carb. ac., 30x. b.i.d. or the tinct. gtt. T. in 1/2 glass of water, b.i.d., for three days.
88. The acute complaints of Sil. are often worse in a warm room and from heat.
89. Calendula 2c., a few drops on a compress on ulcerations after herpes zoster or carbuncles, heals very rapidly.
90. Staph. is an excellent remedy for injuries to the sexual organs.
91. In paralysis after novocaine, think of Coca, Phos. or Plb.
92. the pitted face of smallpox, in every case, even when the disease was forty years ago, clears up to a marvellous extent with a few doses of Variolinum in highest potency. We are slow to appreciate what may be done by treating a long ago acute disease, such as smallpox, scarlet fever of diphtheria, which has left something that indicated remedies do not cure. Recently we have seen a great change for the better in a young woman with severe heart lesions, aortic and mitral, from scarlet fever in childhood, by Scarletinum.
Whoever contributes to homoeopathy will have done a thing worth while. Homoeopathy, in the last analysis, is but a means to an end. It is not fantastic, just common sense, to expect homoeopathy to play an important part in constructive evolution, raising man to a higher plane physically, and mentally, where finally his eyes will see more radiant beauty and at last he will hear the message, ringing in his ears since the beginning of history, “Peace on earth, Good will toward men”.
