BONES, DISEASES OF

by

A child, aet. 3, had disease of the bone of the forefinger of the left hand, midway between the knuckle and next joint. There was a slight whitish discharge from a minute opening, and the flesh was much swollen and discolored at the place, causing the finger to present a very unpleasant appearance. A physician had, after treating it unsuccessfully, advised amputation of the finger, but the family, not desiring this result of the trouble, decided to try other remedies. Gave her Silicea 6, in solution, which produced improvement at once, and in a few weeks cured the disease in the bone, and the finger resumed its natural appearance, except a slight scar. (C.T.M.).

Dr. C.F. Nichols reports a number of cases of osseous growths cured and benefited by Calcarea fluor22. (Organon, 1880).

SLOW UNION OF FRACTURE- Man, aet. 60, had a fracture of the shaft of the femur. It remained movable, in spite of great care, after two months. Calcarea phos12. was given, at first every night; later every second night, At once the fracture grew firm and was soon well. This is certainly better than instrumental interference. Eighteen months later, the same femur sustained another fracture in its lower portion. The drug was given in like manner as before, but from the beginning. It was well in two months. (J.C. Morgan, M.D.)

In the case of a poor orphan girl, aet. 14, Silicea saved her from having her foot amputated. She had been under treatment a long time for bone disease. Her medical man saw no alternative, as the evil only grew worse, but to make arrangements with the infirmary surgeon to have it taken off. This was agreed on, six days before removing her. Her friends were greatly distressed and applied for new remedies. Silicea, a dose every hour, was steadily taken, and lotion on lint externally applied. On the fifth day the ankle-bone and surrounding tissues presented such a healthy appearance that all cause for amputation was removed. She continued the treatment for a short time longer, and her case was pronounced perfectly cured. (M.D.W., from Schussler).
