Introduction
A like remedy to Pyrogen is Septicaemin (another of Swan’s Nosodes): potencies made “from the contents of a septic abscess.”
Clarke (Dictionary of Mat. Medorrhinum) says that Skinner gave a supply to a volunteer going out to the Boer War, with instruction to take a globule every four hours if attacked by anything like typhoid fever. He wrote home, “Septicaemin is like magic in diarrhoea and dysentery in Camp life”, and asked for more, as his supply was largely drawn on by his friends.–ED.
