for all women who are sterile, regardless of the state. When a remedy is given for sterility, the statemust be looked into which is peculiar to the remedy given such a state as that remedy can produce uponthe healthy woman.Another feature. Many times I have used Borax when the mother could not nurse the child, shetalks about always having a little, thick milk. "The milk is too thick and tastes badly".This condition of the milk prevents the mother from nursing her child. This is a constitutionalstate, and Borax if given in the beginning of pregnancy, to a Borax patient will so change the milk aswell as the rest of the constitution that the mother will be able to nurse the child. I have a number oftimes, when a mother has brought forth several children that she was unable to nurse, given Borax andit has so affected the case that she could nurse the next child. This remedy also has loathing of thebreast in infants, due to the fact that the milk tastes bad and not due to any defect on the part of thechild. You might think of prescribing for the infant, but if you examine into the case you will find thatthe child will not take the milk because it is loathsome. The mother needs a dose of Borax, which willcure the child of its diarrhea and loathing of milk. "The infant becomes pale, nearly earth colored"."The child throws up its hands when an attempt is made to put it down". If the mother was a Boraxmother, the child very likely is a Borax child; it is not an uncommon thing for the mother and baby toneed the same remedy; many times I have medicated the child through the mother's milk if both neededthe same remedy. Another peculiar feature is that when the child is nursing, there is pain in the oppositebreast.Borax is not necessarily limited to the state of confinement; there is a practical use for Boraxamong nervous women in all states of life. Borax has cured pleurisy that very much resembled Bryonia,especially on the right side like Bryonia; stitching or darting pains from without inward as if throughthe upper right lung posteriorly; the stitching pains might make you think of Bryonia."Wilted, wrinkled skin". "Skin pale or livid". Emaciated; flabby child becomes emaciated.Children become marasmic along with the aphthous condition; they cannot digest. They vomit or havediarrhea; aphthous condition that extends the whole length of the intestines; involving all mucousmembranes. Oversensitive child screams from downward motion. The aphthae involve a good manyother symptoms; crying before urination, because the bladder is involved. The aphthous condition andworse from downward motion; the oversensitiveness to noise, easily startled, anxious feeding, etc., arethe most striking and characterizing features.BROMIUM [brom] [Kent’s]Bromium is one of the routine medicines. It is one of the medicines that the neophyte will makeuse of for every case of diphtheria and croup, and laryngitis he comes across; and when it does notwork he will "try something else". All who prescribe on the name use Bromium as one of their routinemedicines; but Bromium is so seldom indicated that most homeopaths give it up as a perfectly uselessmedicine. The reason is that they do not take the symptoms of the case and prescribe in accordancewith the individualizing method. They do not prescribe for the patient, but for the disease. You may seevery few cases of diphtheria calling for Bromium; but when you see a Bromium case you want to knowBromium. There is one underlying feature of the Bromium conditions, they are found especially inthose individuals that are made sick from being heated. If there is a diphtheria epidemic and the motherbundles up her baby until she overheats it, and keeps it in a hot room, and it happens to be a child thatis sensitive to being wrapped up, and one whose complaints are worse from being wrapped up, lookout. You are going to have a Bromium diphtheria. It is indicated also in complaints that come on in thenight after a very hot day in the summer.Now, this is as near as you can come to being routine in croup and diphtheria. If the mother hasthe baby out in a dreadfully cold, dry day, and along towards midnight it wakens with spasmodic croup,you know that it is more likely to call for Aconite than any other medicine. But if the mother has hadthe baby out in a hot day in the summer, and that baby has been overheated, with too much clothing,and it is a plethoric child, and towards midnight you are called up, and the child has a red face, andyour examinations reveal a membrane in the throat, we will see as we study the remedy that this maybe a Bromium case."Hoarseness coming on from getting overheated. Loss of voice coming on from gettingoverheated". A turmoil in the whole economy; with headaches, coming on from getting overheated.That runs through Bromium. So it is in the hot weather, and being confined to a hot room, and aftergoing from the cold into the heat. But after the complaint comes on, no matter where it is, he is so.sensitive to cold that a draft of cool air freezes him; but he cannot be overheated without suffering.Bromium has running through it a tendency to infiltrate the glands. The glands become hard,but seldom suppurate. They generally remain hard. The glands of the neck, the parotid, the sublingual,
