Dr. Tyler, M.D.
It is the observation of Dr. Gowers that BORAX is useful in Psoriasis.

Dr. Hughes, L.R.C.P.

BORAX acts on the majority of cases of Airsickness, because it is the sudden dip, which affects most people, and particularly their terror of falling. I have had a number of cases in which I have completely stopped air- sickness by 3 or 4 doses of BORAX before they have started flying.

Dr. D. M. Borland, M.D.
This remedy is magical for mouth ulcers (aphthous ulcers). The results are amazing. When it works, it works faster than Metronidazole, or Vitamins or even steroid, which are used to combat this disease in allopathic medicine. It takes away the rawness in the mouth and the patient is comfortable in a few doses. I have also found it useful in children who suddenly cry out in the sleep or while urinating.

BERBERIS has suffering and pain in persons who have been operated on for fistula-in-ano, when the fistula has closed, the pains will come on if it is a BERBERIS case.

Dr. L. J. Hord.

BERBERIS is an excellent remedy for renal colic. The pains are of a shooting character. The patient cannot make the slightest motion and must sit bent over towards the painful side to obtain relief. If in addition, he complains of sharp darting pains following the direction of the ureter and extending into the hip, there is no remedy like BERBERIS. Dr. Farrington, M.D.

In gouty swelling of the big toe with scanty urine, I found BERBERIS VULGARIS coming to my air, when other usual drugs failed to relieve.
Dr. Jugal Kishore, B.Sc., D.M.S.
I have found this remedy useful in expelling small renal stones and ameliorating cases of renal colic. Very often small stones dissolve when alternated with another remedy called as SARSAPARILLA. Of course, being primarily an allopathic physician, I have selected my patients very carefully. With new modalities in Allopathic medicine like, Lithotripsy and other measures, I generally prefer to use it post-operatively and somehow, it also seems to prevent the recurrence of renal stones, although there is little evidence to prove it. I have never dared to use it in Acute Cholecystitis with Gallstones, where the treatment of choice in my book would be Surgery.

Dr. Turrel.

I have myself frequently obtained much reduction in the size of the ganglion, situated at the back of the wrist by the external application of BENZOIC ACID as an ointment.
