Question: WHICH DO YOU REGARD AS THE MORE VALUABLE FOOD, BREAD OR POTATOES?.

Answer: Potatoes, by all means, and the best way to prepare them is to bake them and eat skins and all. All other methods of cooking more or less demineralize the potato to the detriment of the consumer.

Question: HOW WOULD YOU PREPARE A HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDY FOR HYPODERMIC OR INTRAVENOUS USE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?.

Answer: Why waste valuable time preparing a hypodermic? A few pellets of the potentized drug will be absorbed with amazing speed from the mucous membranes of the mouth, especially from the sublingual space. We cannot even imagine a condition in which hypodermic medication would be really necessary. The only possible exception would be for the purpose of local anesthesia.

Question: ARE THERE NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH A HIGH POTENCY HOMOEOPATH WOULD CONDESCEND TO PRESCRIBE PENICILLIN OR ONE OF THE SULFONAMIDES?.

Answer: Most certainly there will be as soon as careful and well verified provings of these substances are made. In the meantime our homoeopathic materia medica is adequate for any demands that may be made upon it.

Question: DO YOU APPROVE OF TRAINING YOUNG INFANTS TO SLEEP IN THE PRONE POSITION?.

It helps to prevent flattening of the occiput in children suffering from disturbed calcium metabolism. The prone position is a good one to cultivate at all ages and stages of life.

  4. QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT Apparently so, although this is probably taking too superficial a view of the problem. The probabilities are that some prior disorder as yet unobserved by the patient or his family has conditioned him, or in World War II parlance has softened him so the emotional shock would be absorbed rather than thrown off by the constitution....
Allan D. Sutherland
Dr. Sutherland graduated from the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia and was editor of the Homeopathic Recorder and the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
