HOMOEOPATHY IN INDIA

by

In this conference and all cognate associations the spring of all our endeavours against human ills, the force which carries us onwards towards the consummation of our art, is the enthusiasm of Homoeopathy. It is this which inspired our immortal Hahnemann, when once he had grasped the idea, to undertake those stupendous labours, the magnitude of which even his disciples but imperfectly appreciate. The enthusiasm of Homoeopathy has had its martyrs as well as its heroes; and who shall say that its martyrs have not suffered in a cause worthy of their sufferings? Enthusiasm knows no laws of human making only the laws of Nature herself.

The worship of Hahnemann is not the religion of this conference, but the enthusiasm of Homoeopathy is and the more perfect our consecration, the more fiery our zeal, the greater is the glory we render to the worlds leader and benefactor. It is enthusiasm that heralds, success, it is enthusiasm that removes obstacles, gains treasures, achieves results; and enthusiasm backed by a good cause, can and will plant Homoeopathy in a small place. A profound confidence in the immutable law of similars, a burning zeal to make the right prevail, to advance the welfare of mankind, and a single eye to the interests of our science these are the forces with which our American fellow workers have won their victories; these are the forces which have carried them and will carry us on to complete triumph.

MISSION OF HOMOEOPATHY.

The mission of Homoeopathy is to civilise, I might almost say to spiritualise, medical-practice. When we think what the millions of suffering humanity are daily losing for the want of the help which Homoeopathy is ready to give, all smaller questions fade into nothingness beside the one supreme question which burns in our hearts, the desire to make the truth we know prevail for the salvation of the world from disease and suffering. This is our mission as individuals, gentlemen, and it should be the mission of this conference, too.

SPLEEN THERAPY IN LARYNGEAL TUBERCULOSIS. According to Dr. F. Hutter (Wein. klin. Woch., November 28th, 1929, p. 1513) the favourable influence of spleen therapy in tuberculous affections has been confirmed by many workers; raw calf spleen is administered by the mouth or extracts may be injected. The author reports success from spleen therapy in cases of laryngeal tuberculosis, the raw calf spleen being administered as follows. For four weeks he gives daily 50 to 100 grams of spleen, either minced and mixed with soup or lightly grilled, or minced and mixed with condiments, fat and hard-boiled egg. After two or three weeks of rest the course of treatment is repeated again, and so on. Gastric intolerance of the raw spleen was overcome by the administration of pepsin and hydrochloric acid. British Medical Journal, March 8th, 1930.
