A CLINICAL CASE

Had the disease of childhood without any sequelae; remained well to his thirtieth year, when he came under allopathic treatment for a fever. Twelve years ago he had tertian intermittent, which was successfully treated by Dr. Hartmann, homoeopath. Since then his health had been tolerably good, but he began hard during the last months, since when his present symptoms have made their appearance.

EDITORIAL

The world is production-mad. Growth and development are judged in terms of exhibition. Statistics and financial figures warp our judgment. Science in its spectacular aspects has become a popular fetish. It becomes increasingly difficult for those not grounded on principles to stand against the flood-tide of these influences.

REASONS FOR THE NEED OF HOMOEOPATHIC PHILOSOPHY

The latest achievements of the physicists, with their delicately developed instruments of precision, explains the increased power released by transmuting material into energy. The work of Crile and others have sensed and are revealing the more subtle and imponderable elements of life which operate to build the body organism and maintain it in all its manifold and complex affairs of existence.

Attacks of suffocation especially after midnight; the patient has to sit up or leave his bed and stand stooping forward leaning on his hands; he has to open the windows or get out into open air; palpitation, following by eructations and yawning, and the spasm terminates with or without coughing and expectoration.

SYMPTOMATIC DUPLICATIONS AND THEIR EVALUATION

Constant and consistent study of the materia medica gives one a broad knowledge of symptoms groupings and greatly facilitates accurate prescribing. No amount of cleverness in repertory analysis can take the place of personal acquaintance with each remedy. Conversely no materia medica expert can afford to practise homoeopathy without the aid of one or more standard repertories.

It consists of a mixture of three powerful remedies, Sulphur, Carbo vegetabilis and Kali nitricum. I have never been able to get satisfactory results with anything higher than the 3x trituration.
