Treatment was getting nowhere; the patient was getting worse. We brought her home and put a nurse in charge of her. In the period of time between the first of March and the first of December, we got her out of bed. Her response was more than satisfactory. She was able take care of herself as to eating and duties of that sort; had a better mental attitude toward herself. I felt the institution had failed to pay any attention to the mental side.
She was madly in love with her husband who didnt share it; in fact he got as far away from it as he could, and he went to Washington, D. C. That seemed to have something to do with the onset of the severe symptom.
I went into the thing as carefully as I could. The family and myself were entirely convinced that progress was being made. Due to some contusion on the party of the family and disagreement, they felt they had spent enough money personally and suggest she be turned over to local authorities and the general hospital look her in charge.
The report I had was, after their tests and spinals, that suddenly something happened and the woman passed on. They have since come to me and told me they regret the fact they took her out of homoeopathic hands.
DR. SPALDING (closing): It is rather interesting, in browsing through the literature this way, to run across so many other leads that you would like to follow.
You will find, under the clinical case by Dr. Kent, an infantile paralysis or paralysis following infantile in which he reports a cure with Plumbum 40M or CM, which is quite deep. You might remember the case. These symptoms dont have to be multiple sclerosis. They might be any disease, but we have simply tried to see what there was.
There are about 125 of these drugs set up this way. Medorrhinum comes through with a great many symptoms. In fact, it is amazing the amount of symptomatology that you find in so many of the homoeopathic remedies.
