endured, and, but for God’s restraining hand, fears for the result. 2.

hours; I will review my own acts and words for days, lest I have brought
it on myself.

Small swelling in region of left sub-maxillary gland, increasing in size
very rapidly; Calcarea lessened it a little, but it soon increased again
to the size of a goose egg, or larger; after a little it softened in
central portion and soon was entirely soft; all the whiskers over the
tumor came out, and it increased in size and at times was very painful;
sharp shooting pains relieved by Belladonna; the swelling soon extended
over chin, and reaching arm caused great pain; becoming very
uncomfortable it was opened and discharged a large quantity of thin
bloody pus; the aperture soon closed, but pus again collected and it was
again opened, and this was repeated several times; the aperture after a
time remained open, and showed the same raised embankment-like edges,
seeming to prevent the matter from overflowing the surrounding tissues;
about the time the tumor was opened a small swelling appeared on right
side of neck over sterno-cleido-mastoid, on a level with angle of jaw;
this swelling softened in center, closed up by its raised edges, and so
continued for a month or two, when the lower edge seemed to give way and
the fluid contents began to work their way downwards until the clavicle
stayed them; they collected along clavicle on its upper border as far as
the sternum and its enlargement there was four or five inches
horizontally and three or four perpendicularly, the depth being unknown;
becoming alarmed took Thuja 3m in repeated doses, and in a few days the
tumor began to diminish, with a discharge of thin whitish pus. The
tumors gradually lessened, and the last presents an orifice through
which pus issues and then heals for the time; the tumor under chin, at
the point where the extension of the arm caused pain, remained a
fistulous opening, which opened and closed every few days, discharging a
little serum. On left side of neck where first tumor was, there remains
quite a fold of flesh, and a small cavity containing serum. The hairs
grew out again on left side; on the right side where the whiskers proper

This is
the only large published proving of Medorrhinum. Why it was
“translated” is unexplained, since Dr. Berridge was an English
speaker with a practice in the UK. He was a close associate of Ad.
Lippe, Samuel Swan, and Thomas Skinner, and with them, edited the
journal The Organon from 1878-1880. Although there are 56 proving
sources listed, scant information is given about some of the provers,
who supervised, or what dosages were given. We find in number 46 a
proving done on a “child or children.” In the proving we find
the now “keynote” symptom of sleeping on the knees with the
behind up, and the head in the pillow. This was seen in one of the
children, aged five.Most of
these provings were done with high potencies prepared by Fincke or Swan.Julian Winston
