Sclerosis of the ear; chronic otitis; Meniere's vertigo. Inguinal and scrotal hernia. (Calcarea picrata)

An extensive volume can be written in reference to the clinical use of the Calcareas of the Hahnemannian school, adding besides that the best results are obtained, as the founder of homoeopathy consels, with infinitesimal doses, giving cases of cures with the potency from the 30x to the 1000 of Fincke.

The traditional school, which for twenty years up to the present time has paid special attention to the employment of calcium, has undoubtedly been able to enrich their therapeutics with more precise hints about this substance, and the most noted authorities summarize their indications for the following cases: Calcium carbonate (creta preparata), as absorbent and as alkaline base to neutralize the hyperacid dyspepsia. In gastrosuccorrhoea and in infantile diarrhoea. As succedaneous of sodium carbonate. (Therapeutics and Pharmacology, Arnaud, 1934)

As antiemetic in infantile dyspepsia. (Lessons in Therapeutics, Dr Hernando.) As an agent for recalcification in tuberculosis of the lungs. (Ferrier and A. Robin. Elemental Treatise of Therpeutics, Manquat, 1919)
Calcium chlorate as an enternal hemostatic or in enemas. (Clinical Therapeutics, Dr. Gaston Lyon, 1919)
Neuter phosphate of lime, glycerophosphate and chlorhydrophosphate of calcium as antirachitic. (Diseases of Infancy, Suner and Ordonez, 1930)
The gluconate and lactate of calcium, in hypodermic form after parathyroidectomy, in tetany, nephritis, oedema, eczema, bronchial asthma, urticaria, angioneurotic oedema. Spasmophilia. Uremia. Epilepsy. Eclampsia. Osteomalacia. Osteitis fibrosa. Decalcification. Lack of consolidation of fractures. Tuberculous pleurisy. Enteritis. Night sweating in tuberculosis. Ulcerative colitis. Dysmenorrhoea. As antidote in lead, mercury and chloroform poisoning. (Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Walter A Bastedo, 1938.)

From this brief comparison it follows that the calcium therapy of today is nothing less than the Calcareum therapy of the Hahnemannian school, with the particularity that the indications of the latter are more precise as being in conformity with the Law of Similia similibus curantur. MEXICO, D.F.
