evening, and we continue this treatment, until the symptoms of typhoid
angina have gradually abated, the tongue has been healed, the normal
desire for food has returned, and the digestive functions go on
regularly; after which the natural reaction of the organism, assisted by
careful diet, will be found sufficient to complete the cure. If no
improvement sets in after Apis has been used for three days, we may rest
assured that a psoric miasm is in the way of a cure, which requires to
be combated with some anti-psoric remedy. I have generally found Kali
carbonicum efficient, of which I gave one globule thirty on the fourth
day of the treatment, permitting it to act uninterruptedly from one to
three days, according as the disease was more or less acute, after which
I again exhibited Apis in the manner previously indicated. In this way I
succeeded in developing the curative powers of Apis, so that in a few
days a gradual improvement, however slight, became perceptible to the
careful observer. As soon as the improvement is well marked, all
repetition of the medicine should cease, and the natural reaction of the
organism should be permitted to complete the cure. Any one who is
acquainted with the action of the Kali, must know that it continues
without being interrupted by Apis. An invaluable blessing of Nature!
This proceeding is crowned with the desired results; the convalescence
is shorter and easier, and there is less danger of serious sequelæ,
which, according to all experience, are so common in complicated cases
of scarlatina, otorrhœa and suppuration of the parotid glands are
generally avoided under this treatment without any other aid, or, if it
is impossible to avert such changes, they generally come to a speedy and
safe end. This treatment likewise keeps off dropsy and its dangers.
