  Iodium -

  -Rather singular  diarrhoea. 

 -"Spleen  enlarged and very  sensitive.  Liver  affected, with white stools, sometimes  whey-like  : these  you will find in obscure  disease  of pancreas.  Iodine has such affinity  for  glands that it  attacks pancreas also"  (FARRINGTON).

  Parotidinum -

 -"Pancreatitis may  start in infectious diseases 

 -  enteric, pyaemia, septicaemia, also in Mumps  : which is of interest from the  structural  resemblance  of the  pancreas to  the salivary glands....

  -"Mumps affects the  pancreas,  and diabetes has followed Mumps, indicating  that the  Islets of  Langerhans  are  affected". 

 -Dr. X, impressed by  his results with  the nosodes of previous acute diseases in difficult  chronic conditions,  tells of two  cases of  diabetes which had not been progressing  favourably  in spite of  careful prescribing.  

-"No.  I  suffered  from neuritis and rheumatism of thighs, of several  years'  duration. After 3 6  hourly  doses of Parotidinum 30, the rheumatism vanished and has not  returned  during  the past 5 months. The  blood sugar has not  been tested owing  to war conditions. 

 -No. 2 had a  severe  aggravation,  and then clinical improvement. These  cases are  merely  suggestive".  

-Let us carry  matter  further, on  the same lines.  If  pancreatitis may start in infectious diseases, as  enteric, pyraemia, septicaemia, and may entail diabetes, goitre, etc., we have also to consider. nosodes (germ drugs) 

 -TYPHINUM, PYROGEN (with which one remembers curing a case of diabetes), STAPHYLOCOCCIN, STREPTOCOCCIN, or any other nosode responsible for or associated with previous acute illness. In this way, triumph may lie. Very many of our hospital out-patients come for chronic conditions : and the difference in one's results, and in the improved healthy appearance of the patients since the frequent use of Morbillinum, Diphtherinum, Streptococcin, and all the rest, is amazing. It has to be seen to be believed.

 Mercurius iodatus ruber -

 -Heavy, painful sensation in liver, pancreas and spleen.
