Since that time I prescribed in cases of hay fever the third decimal trituration, one or two grains dissolved in twelve teaspoonfuls of distilled water, one teaspoonful every two hours, with the best results, and have cured more than thirty persons, who were formerly obliged to go to the mountains to get temporary relief. Already after the first week most of them experienced decided relief. SYMPHYTUM OFFICINALIS. NAT. ORD.--Borraginaceæ. COMMON NAME.--Comfrey, Healing Herb. PREPARATION.--One part of the fresh root gathered just before blooming is macerated in two parts by weight of alcohol. (The following concerning this remedy, which dates back to Dioscorides, we find in _American Journal of Homoeopathy_, 1846:) The Homoeopathic Examiner for August contains a paper entitled "_Connection of Homoeopathy with Surgery_," by _Croserio_, translated by P. P. Wells, M. D. It is there stated that "injuries of the bones are healed most promptly by _Symphytum officinale_ 30 internally once a day. This remedy accelerates the consolidation of fractures surprisingly." The translator adds a note as follows: "I have had repeated opportunities of verifying this declaration of Croserio. A boy, fourteen years old, broke the bones of the forearm, at the junction of the lower and middle thirds, two years ago. He had twice repeated the fracture by slight falls. The ends of the fragments are now slightly movable on each other, and the arm is weak and admits of little use. Three doses of _Symphytum_ effected a perfect cure. The lad became more robust, and has since had better general health than ever before." A boy, eight years old, fractured the humerus, near the junction of the condyles and shaft. _Arnica_ 30 immediately arrested the spasmodic jerks of the muscles of the injured arm. This remedy was continued the first three days, when the traumatic fever had entirely subsided. He then had _Symphyt_. [Latin: ezh], gtt. i., in half a tumbler of water, a teaspoonful every morning and evening. The splints were removed the _ninth day_, and the bone was found consolidated. The cure was entirely without pain. How much earlier than this the fragments ceased to be movable is not known. Well may the author say it heals broken bone surprisingly. Let it be remembered that the discovery of this specific is but one of the many rich fruits of _Hahnemannism_. (The following appeared in the _Homoeopathic World_, 1890, under the signature F. H. B.:)
