Practitioners’ Quotes

“Morgan Bacillus has been one of my most successful remedies in eczema of young children.”— Dr. William B. Griggs

“If any of you have a case of infantile eczema that is quite resistant, do not forget the Morgen nosode, it has cleared it many times.”— (T.K. Moore)

“You take the moist type of eczema where the child scratches and has the exudate on its face and bleeds. I have seen Morgan clears that up after failure of Graphites, Psorinum, and Mezerinum. The type of eruption which characterises this can be ascertained from a study of the provings of well-known skin remedies found among the list of remedies associated with the Bacillus Morgan e.g., Sulphur, Graphites, Petroleum. There are few eczemas of the infants at the teething stage or later life, that do not require a dose of this nosode.”— Y. R. Aggrawal
