...Maryland, as in the rest of the U.S., homeopathic practice has never been popular. Today there are only 75 "pure" homeopaths practicing in the U.S., but more than 5,000 physicians combine homeopathy with M.D. practice. Reddick has an M.D. from Hahnemann Medical College, serves as senior psychiatrist at Maryland's Eastern Shore State Hospital. But homeopathy is his chosen vocation, and three years ago he launched a homeopathic revival. As a first step, he joined the nearly defunct Maryland State Homeopathic Medical Society, eventually became secretary-treasurer of both the society and the seven-man examining board, which...

Their daughter hops in and out of bed with whomever strikes...

"Age, sex, race, occupation, recreation, hobbies, economic status . . . can often be read directly from the skin. But it also reveals emotions. Many people use their skin as the principal organ of expression." Well-known examples are blanching and blushing, chills and sweats, but another emotional outlet can be eczema.
