ZINC IN SUPPRESSION IN CHILDREN



Zinc changed all this, Treatment was begun in August, 1937. Now he has been in school since last fall with only one break when he had a very light attack of the epidemic grippe, in bed only two days and back to school in five. His color is good and weight normal. Nervous symptoms are gone. The eruption has not returned as yet. He has had two doses of Zinc 10M., two of 50M. and one of CM.

CASE V: This is the boys elder sister who was nine when I gave her Zinc 10M. for her disposition. She had been always irritable, contrary, mean, cruel, unkind, selfish, unsubdued by punishment, dictatorial, thinking of most unexpected mean things to do and say.

Belonging to reasonable and rich parents, but inheriting deep miasmatic tendencies from both, she acted to me like a child emotionally imprisoned, suppressed in her real nature. She is a delicate-feature, beautiful child to look at, so these evidences of emotional unbalance were more striking. Her mothers case worked out to Zinc and I decided to try it one her. The result is truly wonderful transformation and her parents are most grateful. WASHINGTON, D.C.

The Calcarea carb. child inclines to grow fat, or very thin. If inclined to grow fat, consider also Calc. phos. A common sight is the thin child, very pale, light hair, who sweats so profusely about the head the pillow is always wet. Enormous abdomen, thin neck, legs and arms, running yet easily tired, asking for eggs; these cases are relieved by Calc. carb. Very restless, precocious, observes everything; easily excited, mind over- active. Self-willed and obstinate. Out of breath from slight exertion; distress from going up stairs. Despairs of getting well. Feels as if the stockings were wet, feet cold in bed. Objects as if seen through a mist. Cannot bear tight clothing about the waist. Very sensitive to the least cold air. Scrofulous glands and ulcers. Chorea. Epileptiform convulsions. Carves eggs. V.M. JOHNSON, M.D.
