Excerpt from book: It is, however, a mighty mistake to treat the cases all alike, as quite a number of different diseases give rise to the usual anginal symptoms; the cases must be diagnostically and therapeutically differentiated if they are to be really cured. A short time since, it was my duty to see a lady in Belgravia with angina pectoris: unwonted domestic drudgery, loss of loved ones, fright, loss of fortune, had led up to it. Apart from the anginal attacks, there was a chronic constant pain across the prsecordia, running away under the left breast. For years blisters had been applied at intervals with temporary relief, till theycould no longer be borne. Patient was very depressed, sulky, and morose. The menses suppressed. Aurum metallicum, 3 trituration, six grains every four hours, cured the constant pain in a week, and the anginal attacks have thus far not recurred, and patient smiles now, and is bright. The menses have, however, not appeared, and for this she remains under treatment. Since this was written a year has elapsed, and the lady is quite well of her angina. What led me to use Aurum was ts known affinity for the heart, and the profound melancholy of the patient. As I said, the cure has been maintained, but the lady keeps some of the Aurum powders in the house for fear, and thus unconsciously testifies to its therapeutic efficacy. The lady had for years used the nitrite of amyl with temporary and prompt easement, but the attacks returned just the same, though rather less violently she thought. Although the nitrite of amyl will not often cure genuine angina, it does temporarily stop the agony, and may therefore not be despised. Unfortunately, it is too superficial in its action.

Struggles for equality happen in all corners of the world. While social and economic justice movements are specific to their different national contexts, identities, and forms of oppression, collaboration and coalition building are required if we are to attain sustainable equality and healing justice. Organizing Equality engages activist and scholarly debates about the organization of social and economic equality movements around the globe. The collection covers a myriad of issues, approaches, and experiences, forging a link between critical scholarly studies and journalistic and artistic works that offer more personal and hands-on perspectives. Moving from a broad discussion of resistance and solidarity, contributors examine case studies in their specific national contexts, such as movement building in Greece, caste politics in India, land struggles in Guatemala, student debt resistance movements in the United States, and the fight to indigenize higher education in Canada. Organizing Equality encourages understanding and collaboration between opposing views as a means of discovering new practices of seeing, learning, organizing, and being together in our movements for equality.
