In Nov. 1939, she again had a repetition of the same trouble more or less. She was persuaded by some friend to try allopathy again this time. The doctor came to the conclusion that the kidney trouble was secondary to the heart, and gave her an injection of Salyrgan (a mercurial diuretic), which so much irritated the kidneys that instead of increasing in quantity, the urine totally stopped.

She now demanded homoeopathic treatment again, but it could not give her new kidneys. It could only relieve her sufferings to enable her to die somewhat peacefully.
