Tresorie – LITTLE CASE [Little Case]

      Terrier, suffering from cysts between
toes for two years, very crippled at times.

      Before I learned to treat the patient,
I followed veterinary books which recommended Merc., Graphites and Silica.
Only temporary improvement because I did not obey the Law. Then the
patient was studied.

      Very happy nature, always playful.
Excitable, hysterical. .

      Very chilly, will sit against radiator
.

      Overwhelming de sire for sweets which
always aggravate cysts. Great desire for water, will sit in the river on a
cold day.

      Skin suppurates after cut,. bruise, or
bee sting.

      Cysts always worse after running about
in wet grass, etc.

      The chilliness and desire for sweets
were so outstanding that they were used to throw out all remedies not
common to both. Remedies in low type were ignored.

      Calc. 200, three doses six hourly.
Cysts much worse for a week, then slowly disappeared.

      Cysts returned on holiday due to
running about in wet grass. Repeat : complete cure.

      The symptoms were so outstanding that
all low grade remedies could be ignored.

      Not the value of Clarke;s statement
that only positive symptoms should be considered. Calc. has dread of
bathing and is not affectionate, which the dog is, yet it cured.

      [It is interesting and instructive to
see that, in the treatment not only of dogs, but of canaries and fish, the
consideration of mental and leading characteristics in sickness, will give
very magic results. In the canary,phosphorus symptoms, as-desire for large
quantities of cold water; lying on the right side; sleepiness; weakness;
comfort in warmth, in hum,an sympathy and handling, were marked:-for the
person who could appreciate and use them:-ED].
