- Sheppard writes: "Let me repeat once more: remember the measles serum, Morbillinum, in potencyStrength level of a remedyThe dilution and succussion scale of a remedy (e.g., 6C, 30C, 200C, 1M), indicating its energetic concentration. during the convalescence period after measles.
- There will be no need to send the child to the seaside or give innumerable doses of the nauseat ing cod - liver oil and malt mixture.
- This treatment is much simpler, less costly and more efficacious.” “And if in an older child or even an adult you find that the individual had one or more attacks of measles, and has not been doing too well since, interpose a dose or two of Morbillinum 30 or higher, and then go back to the other constitutional remedies as may be necessary; and you will be surprised how quickly various states of ill-health will clear up.”
