The following list of homoeopathic remedies is recommended for use in the nursery : Aconite 3x, Arsenicum 6x, Belladonna 6x, Bryonia 6x, Calcarea carb. 30x, Chamomilla 3x, Cuprum met. 12x, Ipecac 6x, Nux vomica 6x, Spongia 3x.
For external use : Homoeopathic tincture of Calendula, homoeopathic tincture of Arnica.
These remedies may be procured in the proper strength at a homoeopathic pharmacy. They should be kept tightly corked in a case, and should never be allowed to remain open.
Those for internal use should be in the form of medicated pellets.
Unless otherwise directed, they should be administered by dissolving 6 pellets in half a glass of cold water (preferably distilled or pure spring water) and given to the patient, one teaspoonful every one-half to two hours, according to the severity of the attack. It is usually wise to give the first four doses at frequent intervals (every half hour), and, as the patient improves, to diminish the frequency of the dose to every one or two hours, stopping the remedy immediately as soon as marked improvement occurs.
The glass containing the medicine should be washed and scalded in hot water and cooled before mixing the medicine. It should be kept covered and in a cool place. The spoon should not be allowed to remain in the glass, but should be kept on top, and should be used for the medicine only. It is wise to have a glass medicine spoon for this purpose.
Homoeopathic remedies, owing to the small amount of the drug which is contained in them, are harmless. They never produce the bad effects, which are so often seen as the result of excessive medication. Children especially react promptly to these remedies and oftentimes two or three doses are sufficient. This is vouched for by the large number of parents who employ homoeopathic treatment with success for their children, when they themselves prefer the old-time heroic dosing.
It should be remembered that the administration of remedies is only one part of the physician's work, and the directions herein given are not intended to take the place of a physician's services. Valuable time may be lost by postponing the visit of a physician. Especially is this true of those ailments, the cause of which is not entirely clear. The directions given here are intended only as hints for the management of simple ailments when a physician is not at hand.
The best means of preventing disease is a knowledge of the early danger signs, and every mother should be able to recognize these warnings.
Every child should be thoroughly examined by a physician at least once a year. Such a precaution is not only the best preventive measure against disease, but it also enables the physician to give specific advice as to diet, exercise and hygiene, which may be of the greatest importance in aiding the proper growth and development of the child.
