AUTOTHERAPY.

ers aborted tetanus by the simple method of curing disease the 
writer is developing? They never have tetanus if they are to be 
believed and they are bitten all the time by animals. 
Can leucorrhea be cured by this method? Leucorrhea is the 
external manifestation of many internal disorders. The writer 
believes he cured one case. It appears reasonable to assume many 
internal troubles may be cured in the same or similar way. He 
placed about two drops of mucus in an ounce bottle of water, 
shook it up well and gave it to the patient to drink. She had a 
bad headache the next day; on the third day she said she felt 
well, and had no discharge. What of pyocyaneus, micrococcus 
catarrhalis, influenza, gonococcus autogens, etc. ? The writer has 
had no extended experience with these, but right here makes an 
earnest plea for a further extension of the usefulness of the ideas 
he is developing. It is said by many that in this method of treat¬ 
ment consists the future of medicine where it is applicable. 
The writer’s experience with auto-therapy is almost wholly 
clinical. This is the way homcepathy was developed. Clinical 
experience is the court of last resort in determining questions 
relative to the therapeutic value of any medicinal preparation. In 
using auto-therapy, the opsonic index may be used if it is deemed 
necessary, but the majority of authorities are guided in the ad¬ 
ministration of vaccines by the clinical symptoms of the patient. 
“ The criticism of this method as crude is unjustifiable for, with a 
skilled appreciation of the nature of the infection and the response 
of the individual, the dose can usually be fairly accurately gauged 
and readily confirmed by experiment.” 
Vaccination Through the Skin in Intra-Alimentary, 
Intra-Pulmonary and Other Diseases. 
Having obtained the causative micro-organisms, it becomes 
our aim to inoculate the patient with their toxic substance, to¬ 
gether with the toxic products of tissue changes, through the skin 
in the manner that will be both safe and curative. We have the 
identical native bacteria for our purpose. The fresh nascent 
toxic substance of the bacteria grown in the patient’s own tissues,
