She was a girl of an unknown land far away from this world of ours, not a fairy, not a departed soul, but a girl in flesh and blood. For 10 long years no human voice reached her. Not a word of affection, words of love, not even a shrill cry of lamentation could elicit any response from her. She was apparently alive with a good respiratory rate, a staring look, devoid of any need, need for food and drink, urge for excretion, longing for a sweet sleep. Was she a religious girl in meditation, in communion with God? No, she was always chastising someone with her own voice emitting a lot of jargon. Only her angry look expressed that she was speaking to a person in front of her but invisible to the human eye. These 10 long years caused no change in her and her words of vengeance flowed non-stop. A good number of psychologists made frantic attempts to reach her mind. But it was unfathomable. She was living in her own angry world.

In this delirious condition she was brought from Assam to my clinic in Sodpur in West Bengal. An old father of 75 and a married sister of 37 years accompanied her. This long journey and change of place caused no difference in her. She was continuing her words of vengeance in the same manner all through.

The old father could say nothing about his daughter and the married sister could only inform that she was in that condition since ten years. All possible steps were taken to bring a change in her but the physician gave a verdict that she was Schizophrenic and beyond any cure.

As a psychiatrist I became convinced that I also could do nothing for her but as a Homoeopath I could think that may be was amenable to cure. But I had to know the mental character of the girl which coincides with the character of the homoeopathic remedy and the exciting cause which created the mental derangement.

As it was impossible to obtain anything from the patient, I interviewed her sister about her own life and mind so as to gain an insight into the patients character.

I learnt that the patients sister could not stand an unclean room. She always desired cleanliness and neatness. She avoided crowds. The sight of a dead body caused nausea. She suffered from acidity and loss of appetite and gets tired on slightest exertion. She became angry when anything was done against her will; this she admitted with a smile of shyness.

Although she was not my patient my purpose was served. To confirm I put my last question "Is your ailing sister of the same type as you are?" With a look of wonder she replied that her sister was a proto-type of her but was now different. It was clear to me that the girl to be treated had the Arsenic-alb type of personality.

To find the exciting cause, I requested her to tell me the story of the first attack in detail. Once the patient and her elder brother went for shopping. On the way to the market, they met her brothers friend and started a conversation. All of a sudden, some persons of Assamese origin came there and began to stab her brothers friend mercilessly before their eyes. She was alarmed and swiftly ran away to their residence crying "police are coming" and dropped down senseless. Since then she became a changed girl. I now obtained the exciting cause as the Arsenic mind is affected with a fear of police coming.

I prescribed Arsenic-alb 50M in distilled water, to be administered in teaspoon sips at intervals of 15 minutes after mixing half of the medicine in a cupful of boiled water and giving ten strokes to the mixture. This was to be taken the next morning.

Three days later the patient came to my clinic with her father and sister. She behaved very normally and told me that "Doctor, I am fully alright." So, the Schizophrenic girl who had been sick since the past ten years was cured in a single day with a single divided dose of Arsenic-alb 50M.
