MIRACULOUS ACTION OF THE HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDY IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN



2. A lady was kept awake one night and suffered most of the following day with pain and swelling in the right knee. She could get it into no comfortable position. particularly, she could not extend it and when an attempt was made to stand on it, it was so weak that it gave way. A usually well-controlled person, she complained bitterly. Sepia 200th brought about relief so rapidly that it surprised me more than it did her.

3. A lady in her sixties, who had a drunk a lot of beer and who was considered by her friends an alcoholic, developed typical Lycopodium symptoms. Under the action of occasional doses in the 200th she began to feel better generally and her weight began to decrease and has gone down slowly from 180 to 135 lbs., her former usual weight. She went off the deep end only once during the treatment and now says she has better control over her desire for the brew.

4. Mrs. W., a rather rotund young woman, came into the office with a necklace, the like of which I had never before seen. I looked several times to make sure I had not been hitting the jug. Most of it was fiery red and extended to some extent to the back and chest and toward the shoulders. Closer inspection showed it to be a mosaic of ringworm rather uniformly placed in rows. This condition rather rapidly and surely cleared up under the influence of Sepia 1M.

5. Another young lady came into the office with the most complete ringworm infection I have ever seen as to area. There was barely a spot on her body which was not affected. It was as fiery red as in the above case, but Nature was less conventional in her art than in the above and design appeared more futuristic. She apparently had acquired it while swimming. It cleared up most satisfactorily under Sepia 1M.

The right homoeopathic remedy in ringworm is a pleasure to behold in its action. It makes impression on the patient because he can watch as well as feel the improvement. Natrum mur., Sep., Sil., Tell., and Tub. b. have been my sheet anchors. They are all great enemies of the lowly fungus. Sep and Sil. have been especially useful in “athletic feets.” Only yesterday a man presented a foot of a beautiful shade of green from one of the dyes used by science to bat the fungus on the head, only to put him to sleep. Whitfields also had been tried. I await the action of Sepia.

It seems the homoeopath makes his living chiefly on what the others cannot do. TOLEDO, OHIO.
