In February, I visited a village in the course of my work and found that many of the people were sick with Asiatic cholera. Two small children were already stiff and dying. A pregnant woman and a man were purging and vomiting excessively. I carry a small box of remedies with me and, since I did not have Camphor, I gave these very sick people Bacillinum 30 ,and sulphur 30., one dose. Some did not even get the Sulphur. then I notified the health officer who did inoculations the next day. The next week when I returned to the village I was pleased to find that not one to whom I had given the above remedies had died, even the pregnant woman did not abort, I decided on the above remedies had died, even the pregnant by bacilli and I remembered that Sulphur was useful in cholera.
I have never failed of a cure in bacillary dysentery here when I have used Merc.cor., in a small amount of water giving a spoonful every hour and lengthening the intervals between with improvement, and If some diarrhoea is stiff present after the blood ceases, I five a dose of Sulphur 30. I hope that this may be a help to other I have seen cases of bichloride poisoning and remembered the blood purging and pain. Therefore, I thought that Merc. cor. would be good for these symptoms.
I have often brought complete health to a high fever with aching all over, by a dose of Aconite 200. and Eupatorium perf. 3o. in twenty-four hours or a little longer. I wish I knew more about the correct potency, but that was a potency I had on hand and anyway they get well fast. I do not worry about my sick children as I used to do when I was an allopath! I know that in the morning they will be better, but I do sometimes keep them near me so that I can see them a few times in the night and dose them again if necessary, It is great fun to use homoeopathic remedies! I have thanked god many times for showing them to me and for helping me to learn how to use some of them.
