Wholeness and neogeny Dr Twentyman in his editorial discusses the concept of illness and wholeness, referring to the writings of Linnaeus and Lamarck, Cuvier and Sydenham.

He included an instruction sheet with details of how to take the medicines, and another sheet listing the 21 medicines which he advises patients to keep in the house, with indications for their use.

Role of bowel flora in chronic disease This is a paper read by Dr John Paterson at the 1948 British Homoeopathic Congress in Glasgow, reprinted from the January 1949 issue of the British Homceopathic Journal. It is a comprehensive survey in 11 pages, including a valuable table of the bowel nosodes and their related homeeopathic medicines. It is followed by 4 pages of extracts from the ensuing discussion--evidence of much interest in the use of bowel nosodes.

Periarteritis nodosa Dr Jacques Hui Bon Hoa reported a case of this disease, with the diagnosis confirmed by full investigation. The first nodules had appeared 5 months before the patient was referred by his own practitioner. Dr Bon Hoa prescribed Medorrhinum, given as a single dose of 10M. 5 weeks later the nodules had completely disappeared. A few new nodules appeared after another 12 months, and Medorrhinurn 10M was repeated. 3 years later the patient needed one more dose. 8 years later he reported no recurrence. 125 publications in a lifetime Dr Frank Bodman of Bristol retired in 1973, and the occasion was marked by recording this list of all his publications. 52 are in the
