DR. LAURA B. HURD: I should like to ask Dr. Farrington if he has used Medorrhinum.
DR. FARRINGTON: Yes, but only as a prophylactic.
DR. MARION BELLE ROOD: In our neighborhood a lay remedy in to boil out straw and give as an infusion, and Avena sativa has been very helpful this spring in measles. It shortened the four days of symptoms from first fever to final eruption down to less than one day sometimes, and the people who used it were thoroughly satisfied that their children did not need any other prescribing at all but that.
DR. EDWARD WHITMONT: What potency?.
DR. ROOD: I gave ten drops of the tincture in a glass of water, a teaspoonful ever thirst minutes until the rash appeared, which would be in about two or three hours, and then stopped the remedy.
