Journal of the American Institute of Homceopathy; 81:64-73 Are you better? Dr David Taylor Reilly and Morag Taylor have written the first of four short articles with this heading, followed by three others by different authors, concerned with the assessment of the patient's report after treatment. Complementary Medical Research (RCCM) 2: 22-27. Japanese encephalitis Dr Rankaj Aggarwal has written an article on this disease which is caused by an arbovirus, transmitted to man by culex mosquitos which have fed on infected animals and birds, notably nestling herons. The virus was isolated and identified in 1936. He lists 31 signs and symptoms and presents a vast repertorizing table of about 250 remedies on eleven pages. From this he selects the nine remedies best indicated: Nux vom.,
Pulsatilla, Bryonia, Arsenicum alb., Natrum tour., Sulphur, Ignatia, L ycopodium and Phosphorus. Advent of Homceopathy 5:24--41 Deep-acting Drugs Dr Georg von Keller presented a paper explaining that we should not think of drugs such as Aconite and Belladonna as suitable only for acute cases, but should remember their value in chronic cases as well. Hahnemann considered the anti-psoric drugs to be the best deep-acting drugs and gave a list of twenty-one. Boenninghausen developed the idea and produced an additional list of twelve anti-psorics.
