Prologue

Nosode-From vaccine matter.

Vaccine poison is capable of setting up a morbid state of extreme chronicity, named by Burnett Vaccinosis, symptoms like those of Hahnemann's Sycosis. Neuralgias, inveterate skin eruptions, chilliness, indigestion with great flatulent distension (Clark). Whooping-cough.

Keynotes

Characteristics
Clarke
  • My attention was first drawn to this remedy by Dr.
  • A.
  • H.
  • Croucher in an

article published in the Homeopathic Review many years ago, giving cases of inveterate

diarrhoea cured by it. This experience I have repeatedly confirmed. I have always used it in the ©

tincture, generally giving 5-drop doses every four hours. It is especially applicable to vaccinal,

malarial, and dysenteric cases. Whortleberry is a close relative of Cranberry, and the natural

order is allied to the Ericacez. It is a native of heathy and swampy mountainous regions.
