Unicisme et pluralisme ou critique d'une fausse querelle

Summary

At the begining Author describes two observations. A 50 years old woman had during the war been brought to a concentration camp for 2 years. Since then she was suffering from psychological disturbances. Allopathically she had been treated with Laroxyl 25, Valium 5 and Binotal without any success. Now were still existing the following Symptoms:, a fixed idea her husband would deceive her, which was wrong, and always ending in violent scÚnes., Hallucinations., Night mares (she dreamed that she was falling into a hole or about death)., Suicidai attempts during which she tried to hang herseif., Heat rushes. The starting point for Lachesis was clear. The patient received three doses Lachesis of each 7-9 and 15 CH. One week later she was significantly better. Since 36 days she had left out Laroxyl and Valium. The Symptoms of Lachesis were still existing, however in a milder form. One dosage Lachesis 30 CH and in the evening Coffea 5 CH. After another week the patient seemed to have changed completely. In a second case it was about marsh-fever-attacks. The basic treatment was Natrium sulfuricum 9 and 15 CH and then Natrium muriaticum 15 and 30 CH. The patient then went to Madagascar where she stood under the treatment of a homeopathist. After her return she called the author and told him that since 5 days she was having twice a day a fever attack and was totally exhausted. The fever attack did regularly start at 11 and 1 o'clock p. m., during which she was asking for warm drinks. For reasons of lack of time the author was unable to hâve an exact examination done, ne-vertheless he found two remarkable Symptoms:, the regularity of the fever attacks at a certain hour (Cedron), the want for warm drinks (Arsenicum album, Cedron). Furthermore he found the patient in a very bad gênerai state of health and suffering from oppression of heart. As the simile was not very clear, Arsenicum album 5 CH (3 granula daily) and Cedron 4 CH alternating with China 4 CH was given. Under this treatment the patient improved rapidly. That means both cases had a therapeutical success. The author differentiates:, the validity of the principle of similarity and the infinitesimal dosage, the diversity of the used methods was confirmed through the healing success in both cases. The quarrel whether unicism or pluralism is therefore a "critique d'une fausse querelle". But in ail cases the most simple prescription is certainly the best one. Resumen : El autor relata primero dos observaciones : Una mujer de 50 afios fué llevada durante la guerra por 2 afios a cun campo de concentraciön.
