## Keynote Indications
The well-known symptoms which characterize an attack of measles may all be taken as 
guides for its homeopathic use. Its chief use has been as a prophylactic against infection and to clear up after-
effects of an attack. 
Morbillinum is extremely useful for cases of debility, weak eyes, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, etc., left after severe 
measles. Treated in fever hospitals, children who simply will not put on weight, are anemic, weary, and often 
with some bronchitis, morbillinium will help to remove all these symptoms, prevent lung complications and help 
them to assimilate their food well and to put on weight rapidly. 
Affinity for the mucus passages, eyes, ears and the respiratory mucus membranes. Diffused bronchial rales. 
Nasal voice, rough cough, lachrymation. Fevers, nasal and eye catarrh. 
Koplik spots. Macular exanthema, begin - ing on the face and behind the ears. Fine scaly desquamation. 
Aggravation of a first infection of measles. Troubles of the per ception. General convulsions. Grumbling 
children.

kept them in his hands firmly closed, and afterwards Gross made dilutions from these globules.

- Sheppard case: Baby Jean, aged 13 months, who had done well on repeated doses of Silica, so that 
she weighed 22 lb.
- and had 7 teeth without any disturbance, developed measles at the beginning of June, 
1941.
- When seen again on June 19th, she was not her usual bright self, very quiet and miserable, had lost 
about a pound in weight.

- The next week she was extremely lively and happy as always, and had gained 
6 oz.

- Sheppard writes: "Let me repeat once more: remember the measles serum, Morbillinum, in potency 
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.”
