Tarantula Cubensis in Diphtheria
Dr. W.J. Martin read a paper on this topic supplementing one he read at the meeting of the Pennsylvania Homoeopathic Medical Society, and confirming what he then said concerning this remedy in diphtheria. “Tarantula Cubensis is one of that class of priceless remedies peculiar to our school obtained from the animal kingdom; it is an animal polson; it is a congener of Apis, Lachesis, Crotalus etc……..
