DR. MOORE: At Jefferson Medical College Dr. Brinton used to give us the advice to take care of any chronic ailment very easily. If he were a sailor, give him Mercury and Potassium iodide; and for people in a hurry, we have an easy method of treating with Medorrhinum.
In this meeting we have had a number of expressions that lead one to a great many old chronic cases and you will find Syphilinum will be the leader of the layout, so there are two remedies if you are in a hurry.
DR. DIXON: I am a little bit disappointed. I had hoped I would get a rise out of you with the blank statement that the colleges were not teaching homoeopathic treatment for these conditions. I wanted someone to get up and deny it.
I am primarily an investigator, and while I dont get around so much among the younger fellow, everywhere I go I cant find where our younger men are being taught to use homoeopathic methods. I can swear if I am out fishing and I feel like swearing here when I think of such a condition as that. We have something so much superior to what these health clinics and the army are recommending, and they dont seem to even take the trouble to deny that they are suppressing it rather than curing it.
Their suppressions of syphilis are filling our insane asylums, and so many things are directly traceable to this devilish gonorrhoea that is being suppressed.
The doctor said he didnt see many cases of gonorrhoea. I dont either. I should have a line-up like the City Clinic there in our home town. They have clinics there that run for hours, two or three times a week, giving suppressive treatment for that, and I don;t suppose I have had a half-dozen cases of acute gonorrhoea in the last two years and it may be in the last five; I dont know.
Fortunately, I have had a couple of cases recently and that has brought this again to my mind, so I am spilling over.
DR. REEL: We have a small organization in a little club called the Hahnemannian Round Table. There were very few of us in the beginning, and this is anent the teaching of homoeopathy at Hahnemann. The boys, the senior students from Hahnemann, were invited to attend our meetings. We all claim to be pure, high potency homoeopaths. At first there were probably two, and then three, and latterly there have been thirty or thirty-five of the senior students coming to the meetings because they want to understand pure homoeopathy. (Applause).
