As a sample, we give below the correct answers for question No. 1,
7 and 12:

Answer to qn. no.1: Secale is almost a specific when the growth of
foetus is
arrested. (See page 698 of
Repertory by Dr. Calvin B. Knerr: Pregnancy, foetus: arrests
development,
Secale.)

Answer to qn. no.7: Crotalus horridus is one of the prime remedies,
to be
thought in cases of haemophilia.

Answer to qn. no.12: For a patient with chronic tonsillitis, you
would
generally look into the Repertory against the following:

Tonsils, inflamed (quinsy, tonsillitis) (page 389 of Knerr's
Repertory)

But remedies in this list may be useful for acute complaints of
tonsillitis.
For curing tonsillitis permanently, it needs 'treatment of chronic
diseases.'
Chronic tonsillitis is in most cases due to tuberculosis (See
MEDICAL
DISEASES
oF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD BY Dawson Williams, M.D., London: Cassel &
Co. page
338-348)

(a) When tuberculosis affects lungs we call it tuberculosis of
lungs or
phthisis pulmonum; with family history of tuberculosis, when t.b.
affects
bones or glands it is called 'scrofula' or 'struma' in homeopathy.

(b) All chronic affections of glands are due to tuberculosis in the
family.
Chronic affections of bones may be due to tuberculosis or syphilis;
(in
syphilitic affections of bones we find nightly boring pain.)

THEREFORE, to cure a chronic tonsillitis patient, we must examine
the
remedies
given in Knerr's Repertory again the following head.

page 1191-Constitution, scrofulous (strumous):... enlarged glands:

Clinical Cases

Case 1: Aswin, aged four, is brought by her mother for constant and
chronic
running nose (fluent coryza). I do not ask any question. (Any
interruption
would only break the chain of thought of the narrator, and all they
would
have
said at first does not again occur to them in precisely the same
manner
after
that. Foot-note to S.84 of the Organon.)

While I was going through Dr. Calvin B. Knerr's Repertory, the
boy's mother
breaks in, "Doctor, he is very angry at times.'' (At this stage I
simply
note
in the case-sheet the word anger.)

I copy on the case-sheet the following portions from Knerr's
Repertory.

NOSE, Coryza, Chronic: Calc., Canth, Colch, Cycl., Sil., Spig.
(page 248)

MIND, Anger (plus above list); Calc.

Again, at this stage, the lady tells: "Doctor, whenever he is at
home on
holidays, running nose is not there. But whenever he goes to
school, on
those
days, it is worse.'' To classify this last symptom is a somewhat
difficult
job.

I now turn to HOMEOPATHIC THRERAPEUTICS by Dr. Samuel Lilienthal.

At this stage, after a pause, the lady continues, "Doctor, two
years ago he
was diagnosed to be suffering from primary complex and we gave a
course of
allopathic treatment.''

To classify the symptom (aggravation on the days of going to
school) is a
difficult task. for "primary complex' the equivalent rubric in
homeopathy is
phthisis (prodromal stage).

I just glanced through Samuel Lilienthal's Homeopathic Therapeutics
(page
858)
and under the chapter PHTHISIS PULMONUM the following lines under
Calcarea
Carb. caught my attention:

...very susceptible to external influences, currents of air, cold,
heat,
noise, excitement."

When he goes to school he is exposed to air, noise, excitement and
therefore
the above quoted line confirmed my selection of Calc. Carb.
I gave this in 10M potency in single dose and the patient is under
treatment
with lot of improvement.

Case 2: A lady, the mother-in-law of a fourth stage cancer patient,
came to
me
asking for medicine for cancer. When I asked her to bring the
patient she
said
that he won't come. I asked her to tell me at least in verbatim
what he had
said. She replied, "He does not say anything.''

At this stage I asked her whether she did not care to go and see her
son-in-law who is said to be in fourth stage cancer. She replied:

"My daughter wrote me a letter stating that and doctors have said
that he
would live for another six months only, and he is not afraid of
death, but
he
wants to live with family in the same quarters in which he had been
all
along
living and said that he does not want anyone (be it friends or
relative) to
visit him.''

(Sometimes, we do get valuable symptom from the report of
messengers).

Let us now see how to work out this case.

does not want anyone to visit him Company, aversion to

till death wants to live with family in the same

quarters where he had been living all these years Homesick

(1) COMPANY, aversion to: 46 remedies (page 27 of Knerr's Repertory)

(2) HOMESICK: 10 remedies (page 50 ..)

Only three remedies, viz., Carbo a., magn. m., and natr. m. are
common to
the
above two lists.

To confirm one out of these three, all these were studied in
HOMEOPATHIC
THERAPEUTICS (By Dr. Samuel Lilienthal) under the
chapter ""Carcinoma''. The
remedy Carbo animalis alone was described and the remaining two
remedies
(magn. m., and natr. m.) were not found.

In the description under Carbo animalis, among other things, the
following
words confirmed our selection. Cachexia fully developed.

Carbo animalis cured the case and the patient is living even today.
