“Child ‘good’ all day; screaming, restless and very troublesome at nujlit" (frequently verified). I once had a case of entero-colitis that for more than eight weeks called mv best efforts to cure. The case went from had to worse, until it was reduced almost to a skeleton. Instead of screaming all night it screamed day and night, all the time (so the mother said), and certain it was, it was always screaming when 1 saw it. With the screaming there were constant contortions of the body, bending forward, backward and sidewise alternately. I cannot tell how many different remedies 1 tried, but finally, in the course of human events, T gave it some Jalapa I2th, run up from some of the crude drug which I procured from an ordinary drug store. The child went to sleep, and from that nap, which was a good, long one, recovery was rapid and perfect. The only indication I had was that it caused colic and diarrhoea.
