Of course you will perceive that what I understand by vaccinosis has no necessary connection with Homoeopathy, the Thuja being homoeopathic to the cases.
As my thirtieth reason for being a homoeopath you will allow me to cite another Thuja case-viz. one of
ACNE OF FACE, AND NOSE, AND NASAL DERMATITIS
A young lady, about twenty years of age, was brought by her mother to me on October 28th, 1882. Patient had a very red, pimply nose, not like the red nose of the elderly bibber, or like that due to dyspepsia or to tight lacing, but the pimply, scaly nasal dermatitis, which extended from the cutaneous covering of the nose to that of the cheeks, but appearing here more as facial acne. The nasal dermatitis was, roughly, in the form of a saddle. Of course, this state of things in an otherwise pretty girl of twenty was painfully and humiliatingly unpleasant to her and to her friends; in fact, it was likely to mar her future prospects very materially, more especially as it had already existed for six years, and was making no signs of departing. She also complained of obstinate constipation. The pimples of the nose and face used to get little white mattery heads.
Rx. Thuja occidentalis 30
November 30th.-Pimples of face decidedly better. Nose less red. Constipation no better.
Rx. Thuja occidentalis 100
January 3rd, 1883.-the face is free ! Her mother gratefully exclaims, "She is wonderfully better." I ask the young lady which powders did her most good; she says, "The last" The skin of the nose is normal, but the constipation is no better, and for this she remains under treatment.
That Thuja cured this case is incontrovertible.
