Another good case from the patient files of Dr. E.B. Nash, MD - an esteemed colleague of Adolph Lippe's...
"B, aged two months, has diarrhoea of greenish stools, every hour or two, day and night; cries much; mouth very sore; white coat on tongue and inside the cheeks. Mother has treated it with powdered borax and sugar, for several days; grew worse. As child has had borax without benefit, I gave Cham. and followed it some days after with Sulph.
Grew worse fast, getting weak and emaciated; noticed that when the mother accidentally made a downward motion, with the child in her arms, it threw up its hands and showed fear of the downward motion. On inquiring, found this had been the case, all the time. Still the child had never been dropped or hurt by any falling! The child was very nervous, startling and crying at every sound; there was a red eruption on face; mouth was very sore, easily bleeding, raw especially under the tongue. Borax must be the remedy. Gave it in the 200th, dry on tongue; cured in a few days.
Remark
Thus we see that though borax in crude doses failed, after ample trial, the same given potentized in the minimum dose cured, as does always the simillimum remedy in proper dose. The other remedies failed because they were not homoeopathic to the symptoms."
