THE MEDICINES OF NATURE 81
Number 6, The Drops
The modem, up-to-date Physio-Medicalist and Nature Curist depends almost wholly on two remedies. Experience has taught him that these are as certain as anything can be in life.
Tincture Echinacea, 5 to 30 drops is the ideal and dependable remedy in all acute septic infections. In septicemia (blood poisoning), in the bites of poisonous snakes and insects, in gangrenous conditions and malignant ulceration, in peritonitis and morbid conditions of the bowels, such as are present in typhoid fever and cholera morbus and cholera infantum, it is the one remedy that does not disappoint.
Tincture Myrrh: For external applications in cold sores, gangrene, and all forms of poisoning and morbidity, Myrrh is the indicated remedy and may be applied freely without dilution. Dose 3 to 5 drops also may be added to the Echinacea for internal use. These remedies substitute for the Thomsonian No. 6 preparation.
Number 7, The Composition
This is still used in its original form by the modern Physio-Medicalist and Natural Physician and is difficult to improve. When desired, the tinctures may be substituted in place of the powders, and these taken in hot water; the plan of procedure is the same as when powders are employed.
Number 8, Nerve Remedy
Tinctures Cypripedium 1 oz. and Anthemis l/2 oz. The dosage is from 15 to 30 drops, depending altogether on the seriousness of the condition. This combination takes the place of the Thomsonian No. 8.
