To the Editor of The Recorder :.

Will you kindly give your readers this postscript to my letter in the November Recorder? Referring to Case V: Having made such a good report there of Vipera torva I was shocked four weeks after the prescription to find that the remedy did not cold. But victory was plucked out of defeat by using that symptom “aggravation from hanging down” and adding to it knifelike pain in the lumbar back, slimy stools and increasing flatulence. I selected Sabina 50M. three prescriptions a fortnight apart. Only traces of the former symptoms now remain except the lymphoid tumors which remain about as before.

Allan D. Sutherland
Dr. Sutherland graduated from the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia and was editor of the Homeopathic Recorder and the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
