PREFACE
TO THE FOURTH AMERICAN EDITION.
BY DR. JOHN F. GRAY.
Ai the instance of M. RADDE, the publisher, I have examined
the manuscript of the new edition of JAXR's Hand-book, prepared by DR. SNELLnWG, the diligent and worthy successor of
my cherished pupil and beloved friend, the late DR. A.
GERALD HULL.
It will prove very gratifying to most practitioners to find
that DR. HULL'S successor, in this indispensable hand-book
of our school, has faithfully preserved, not only the liberal
spirit and scheme of the preceding editions, but all the contributions of his deeply lamented predecessor, in their original
form. He has, moreover, carefully collated from all good
sources over two hundred pages of useful new matter, for the
clinical chapters of this first volume. This important task,
as far as I am able to judge, fairly and ably brings the hurried practitioner face to face with the best adjuvants to his
responsible duties which modern and recent researches and
experience have added to clinical medicine.
DR. SNELLTnG'S edition is to the homceopathic practice of
to-day just. what DR. HULL'S first one was to that of 1840.

Clinical conjectures, when carefully constructed from the
whole retrospect of medical literature, are guides to the successful use of our materia medica. For, without such aids as
the present editor and his predecessors have furnished, it
would be impossible to make a selection between half a dozen
very dissimilar, but, by the text of the SYMPTOMATOLOGY and
REPERTORY, equally indicated drugs-a predicament in which
the practitioner constantly finds himself placed in the chamber of the invalid.
All honor, then, to HAHNEMANN, HARTLAUB, TrINKS,
FLEISCHMANN, JAHR, HERING, HULL, HEMPEL, GUERNSEY, and
their brave young successor, SNELLING! Let us thank them
for their necessary and useful work.




INTRODUCTION.
L-ON THE SYMPTOMS COLLATED IN THIS WORK.
OUR plan of collating the effects of medicaments consists in presenting
primarily the pure pathogenetic effects; and secondarily, as perfecting the
former, the morbid conditions known from experience to have been cured by
them. In composing the first edition of our work we took an entirely opposite course, and preferred for our basis the symptoms which, in the practice of medicine, had contributed to indicate the remedies. But,.reflecting
that these symptofis are much less certain than symptoms purely pathogenetic, we changed our course in the second edition, taking the pure
Materia Medica for the basis. There was a single inconvenience which
attended this procedure: that two sets of symptoms were thrown together
without distinction. On the other hand, this inconvenience was not, it is
true, followed by any serious result; inasmuch as the direct symptoms
indicated the circumstances in which a medicine, according to our principles, ought to act favorably; whilst the symptoms cured discover those
in which the medicine has acted with good effect, which, as regards
practice, amounts to the same thing, if, in relation to these last, it was
certain that they had disappeared under the action of the remedy.
For this reason we have endeavored,in this edition, to distinguish as far
as possible the two kinds of symptoms, designating by a zero (0) those
which, without having been observed as pathogenetic symptoms, have, notwithstanding, been cured by the medicine; and those by an asterisk (*)
which have been observed, at the same time, as pathogenetic effects and
clinical indications; while those pathogenetic effects which have not as yet
contributed to any known cases of cure are left without any distinguishing
sign. Thus each symptom can be estimated according to its true value, and
applied according to the confidence placed in the respective classes which
we propose to establish. For our own part, we are never guided by a singosymptom; it is the general characteristic resulting from the total pathogencsis that controls us in our appreciation of particular symptoms of every

INTRODUCTION.


kind. This is our rule for determining the choice of a medicine; it is the
rule we have observed in tracing out the tableaux of this work, and it
should be that of every homoeopathic physician who would avoid deception.
For, when some isolated feature fails to exact resemblance of the symptomatology of the Materia Medica, the total physiognomy, such as results from
the ensemble of the symptoms, will not on that account be less exact tban
the best portrait after nature; and whosoever slall acquire by profound
study the truly essential characteristic, will be in possession of a science
that the knowledge of single features can never give.
That the sphere of action of medicines may be better settled, we have
given a more extended number of symptoms than in the previous editions.
This, it is true, has rendered the coup d'ail more difficult; but the clinical
observations, which are to be found at the end of this volume, alphabetically
arranged in a clinical index, will prove ample aids to bring them into favor.
able light, and to form a much more concise resume, without interfering in
the least with the residue. It is not intended, however, that the symptoms
marked in italics should determine the choice of remedies to the exclusion of the others. EVERY SYMPTOM HAS A RELATIVE VALUE, BUT NO ONE
IN AN ABSOLUTE MANNER. That which is characteristic in the pathogenesis
of a medicine is only relatively so to the medicines which do not possess it;
and the same symptom which, in such or such a series of comparisons, has
no distinctive value, because common to them all, acquires the highest importance on comparing this medicine with another.
in this manner we have generally distinguished those phenomena which
appeared to predominate over the others in the same organ, or those sensations which seemed to reappear most frequently in organs which were most
unlike, &c. We have frequently, also, distinguished in two alternating effects
that which seemed to occur the most frequently, although, in almost every
case, the one and other of these effects had an equal importance. Thus it
is that diarrhceaand constipation in Nux-vomica, thirst and thirstlessness in
Pulsatilla, burning pain and ice-cold sensation in Arsenic, are one and all
alike characteristic for the choice of the medicine when the rest of the
symptoms accord with the disease. There is also a phenomenon more constant than is generally imagined: all medicines, principally the polychrests,
wh, ch have some well-marked symptom, hold equally in alternation this symptom and the phenomenon opposed to it; and it is generally wrong to consider
one symptom as primitive, and another as secondary or consecutive: for one or
other (according to the individuals) can, in reality, first manifest itself. And
is not the same fact observable in a large number of diseases sui generis?
Does not typhus, for example, produce incessant sleeplessness and then the

most profound coma, or stupidity at times and then delirium, or constipation the most obstinate, or diarrhoea the most violent, according to the conr
stitution of the individual affected? The question of Similia and Contraria
does not hang on the relation of some isolate symptoms, but on the totality
of the phenomena, the general aspect of the disease, and the pathogenesis
of the medicament. But this is not the place for the discussion of this
question, of which we have simply taken note, and to which we have given
a passing glance, merely to answer those who have desired to know how we
have, among contrary or contradictory effects, distinguished that which is
primitive from that which is consecutive.
II.-ON THE USE OF THE HOM(EOPATHIC DOSES.
Beside the pathogenesis and resum d of clinical cases, some remarks upon
the doses used and the duration of their action may be found at the head of
each medicine. In regard to the doses, we have selected them as found in
authors, regarding them only as historical authority, but in no respect as
absolute rules. The question of dilution must always be secondary, rela.
tively to that of the medicine. HAHNEMANN employed the thirtieth in preference; others such as they find in the pharmacopoeias, and others pass
from one dilution to another, especially in cases of repetition. Dr. MURE,
in an article inserted in the Bibliotheque de Geneve, prefers the use of the
first (low) attenuations in acute diseases, and those of the last (high) in
chronic maladies. We ourselves, in the preface to a former Paris edition,
expressed similar opinions regarding the different dilutions, and virtually
the same up to the present time, in this form: that, if any distinction is to be
maintained for practice, we think that the first attenuations generally
answer the best for maladies whose progress is rapid, while the last
accord with those whose progress is tedious. But another question arises
for information: whether, in cases where the low dilutions seem to be required (such as some primitive forms of syphilis, gonorrhoea, &o.), a desirable result cannot be attained by administering, the last dilutions in reiterated doses, and especially by spoonful doses of a watery solution? For,
whatever may be the increase of strength which the remedies may acquire
by trituration or shaking, it is not the less true that there follows at the
same time a loss of power, inasmuch as any quantity of the thirtieth dilution
will always prove more feeble than an equal volume of the first, The thing
is perfectly evident, if we compare the effects which ten drops of the crude
tincture of Arsenic will produce with those which result from ten drops of




12


2NTRODUCTIOI.


the thirtieth. The observation is equally applicable to those substanees
which are called inert in their natural state: in this, that if we take a grain
of Lycopodium, or pure Carbon, but sufficiently triturated to become active,
this grain will act more than an equal volume of the thirtieth dilution of
these substances. But, on the other hand, it is ascertained that, by these
dilutions, the body of the substances has been dilated or expanded in its
surface; and, in this manner, not only affects a greater number of our
organs, when taken, but also develops all its atoms, which remain inactive
in the compact state, and, by consequence, allows a display of their entire
action. For example, a hundred drops of the first dilution will produce,
together, an effect infinitely more decided than can be obtained by a single
drop of the crude tincture; yet, in the hundred drops of the first dilution,
there is not in reality any more medicinal matter than existed in the single
drop of the crude tincture. Whence it appears that, while a single drop of
the thirtieth, in itself, may be more feeble than a drop of the first, a certain
number of drops may constitute a dose which, by the extension of its active
atoms, will not only prove equal, but even surpass the power of the first
dilutions.
This is not the appropriate place to treat the preparation of doses, which
justly belongs to the pharmacopoeias; notwithstanding, we will propose this
question: For the development of the dynamic virtue of a medicine, will it
answer to move the atoms of substances, either by shaking or trituration, or
will it not be preferable to advance from dilution to dilution to reach the
greatest extension possible of the atoms as to surface? We have seen the
ingenious instrument of trituration invented by MURE, and the really
powerful machine with which he effects the dilutions of his medicines; we
have used the medicines prepared by these means, and must confess that, in
respect to activity, they absolutely leave nothing to be desired, unless that
their effects are sometimes in direct proportion to the increased number of
shakings theyfmay have received. The essential requisite is that the mixture
shall be as intimate as possible; and, to produce this result, it is necessary
that the substances be agitated up to a certain point; but, for a medicine
mixed with alcohol in the proportion of 1 to 100, it is probable that, after
50 or 100 shakings, the combination, of all the atoms will be effected as
completely as possible. The palpable advantage which a machine offers for
shaking appears in the power of preparing medicines in the proportion of 1
to 100, and perhaps, also, of 1 to 10,000, advancing even up to the thirtieth
Through a mechanism which will conveniently allow agitation in so large
proportions, we can obtain all that is to be coveted in relation to the deve.
lopment of the virtue of medicines.

III.-ON THE REPETITION OF DOSES.
We have treated at length of the dilution to be employed in a separate
article, feeling that this question appeared less important for practice than
that of the multiplication of doses, or of the repetition, according to the occasion. Give, if you please, during a certain time, 10, 12, or 15 globules to
the sick, and also one entire drop of the first dilutions; and. on abstaining
from the repetition of the dose until a new indication supervenes, you will
not perceive a more unpleasant aggravation than if you had administered
some globules of the last dilutions, and, in this case, the difference will be
by no means in proportion to the relative volume of the medical substance
taken.
Change your experiment, on the contrary: take a single globule of any
dilution, whether of the first or of the thirtieth, and dissolve it in 10, 12, or
15 spoonfuls of water, and give the solution to the sick by spoonfuls; the
aggravations that will follow in particular cases, especially in some chronic
affections, will be much more violent, and much less easy to combat than
those which appear in consequence of one entire drop, also of the first dilution, when it has been taken at a single time. We have remarked this fact
more than a hundred times in the course of our observations; and HIIAHNEMANN himself has given it as his opinion that one or two globules, taken at
a single time, form a feeble and most gentle dose, while the same globules,
dissolved in a quantity of water, and taken in repeated spoonfuls, have a
much more decided action upon the organism. Frequently, it is true, a
patient may take a spoonful of a like solution for a fortnight, every evening
or every morning, without any misadventure; but it is not less frequently
the case that, after the use of the solution, an aggravation arises proportionately more violent than the state of the patient had been satisfactory during
the taking of the medicament-an aggravation which, in many cases, does
not yield to a new dose of the solution, but to return, in consequence, with
renewed intensity, resembling in action the relief afforded by palliatives.
On this account, however salutary and however preferable this mode of administering medicines in repeated doses may be, in many cases, it is, never
theless,not always applicable, and demands, for its successful employment,
to be based on fixed principles and rules. These rules, we very well know,
cannot be established with any certainty but by comparing a great number
of the most contradictory observations; and, if we hero essay to express our
opinion on this subject, it is only with the intention of presenting some ideas
for a more extended examination in the solution of this impo'tant question.




14


INTRODUCTION.


Our ideas, in other respects, are the same as those we have expressed in our
first edition, but more matured.
The principle which, according to our views, and conformably to the basis
of our science, should lead to a view of the question in its true aspect, is
that true, durable, and radical cures are never effected by the direct action of
a medicine, BUT BY A REACTION OF NATURE EXCITED BY IT; whence there
follows, as a first general consequence, that every repetition of doses is at
least superfluous, EXCEPT ENTIRELY DISPLACED, whilst this reaction follows
its course. Thus, we observe, in a large number of not very inveterate functional lesions, an amelioration often established after the single taking of an
appropriate medicine, which, with very unimportant interruptions, continues
in general up to the entire cessation of suffering. To administer reiterated
doses immediately after, in such cases, or to renew the first taken upon A
slight and sudden diminution that this amelioration may undergo, would be
opposing nature in her efforts, and most certainly 'retard the cure. Also, in
some recent and trifling organic lesions, a cure may be frequently obtained
much more promptly by the administration of a single dose. But it is
quite the contrary in all very severe cases of organic lesions, especiallythose
which result from the energetic action of some poison, miasm, or medicinal
substance. In such instances the disease appears to have its own peculiar
vital power, which controls the vital force of the organization, and obstructs
or promptly neutralizes the reaction, which requires for its support a new
and constant activity sufficient to triumph over the disease. Here we can
administer repeated doses, in solutions, with the greatest success, whether
the dilutions be the first or last, provided they are only continued to the
necessary point for establishing the victorious reaction of the vital principle.
The same rule applies to all the organic lesions which, from their nature,
maintain a continual focus of irritation in the parts affected-such as inflammations with suppuration, ulcers, some forms of disorganization, &c.
In some cases of chronic diseases, characterized by a kind of inertness and
wvant of reaction, we may have similar recourse to reiterated doses of globules
dissolved in water; but this depends upon another reason, and in regard to
a design quite different from that of the preceding cases. For, whilst we
struggle to combat the violence of the disease which triumphs over the reaction, we will also endeavor to aggravate the malady, so to speak, before
arousing it from its inertness, and thus elicit the reaction of the vitality of
the organism. Nevertheless, these trials are not always without danger, and
it is necessary to proceed with much caution, lest the aggravation, on deve
loping itself, may be 8o violent as to render insufficient the reaction of the
vital force. Therefore, in similar cases, we must mPost cautiously administer

15


the repeated doses at intervals as short as possible, and arrest them on wit,
nessing the supervention of the first signs of an aggravation.
Finally, there is another case in which we may repeat the doses: it is
when, after a time more or less prolonged, the disease improves, and yet the
symptoms indicate the same medicine more than any other. But these cases
seldom occur, except we have given a single dose one time for all, or many
spoonfuls to the point of aggravation, the effects of which we await without
further action; and then it is essential that we are certain of the cessation
of the aggravation before we have recourse to a repetition.
IV,-ON THE DURATION OF THE ACTION OF MEDICINES.
What we have said regarding the period when the repetition of a single
dose should seem to be indicated, applies equally to the choice of a medicine.
For every aggravation, after an appropriate time, is not always a natural
aggravation of the disease; frequently, on the contrary, it is dependent upon
a new excitement provoked by the medicine which continues to act; and
here nothing better can be done than to wait, since it will generally subside
in a few days, and give place to a much more decided expression. We frequently witness this development, especially in chronic diseases, after the
administration of a single dose, one time for all. Frequently the two and
three first days are good, then follows a light aggravation, which disappears and renews itself occasionally for some time; so that-generally in
the first fortnight, and especially during the third week-the number of bad
days exceed those of the good, while a change finally takes place at the
conclusion of the month;-the favorable days now exceeding the bad, a
durable benefit is established, and continues to the seventh and eighth weeks,
an epoch in which the relics of the disease, which have not been completely destroyed, commence their reappearance. In the meantime, there
is a.case where the aggravation is only the last effort of the action of the
medicine: an effort that does not fail to subside in several days, leaving
the disease, if not entirely cured, at least in such a state that no other means
offer a more favorable issue. To apply a new medicine in such a case, without knowing what might be developed, must frequently annul the whole
treatment, while, by carefully watching and understanding the progress of
the vital reaction, we may frequently obtain in two months, with a single
dose of a single medicine, an acceleration of cure-which could not be done
in two years by a continual change of medicines, or by inappropriate multi.
plication of doses. Such is our oft-repeated experience in following out the




16


INTRODUCTION.


precepts HAHNEMANN gives on this subject in his "COrganon," and in the
first volume on " Chronic Maladies;" and to it we seriously call the attention of every homoeopathic physician. It is never necessary, in any chronic
disease, to change the medicine without having observed, at least during five
or six days, the aggravation which seemed to demand it; and, likewise, those
which sometimes occur after the cessation of a medicine administered by
spoonfuls ought to be treated after the same manner-that is to say, to allow
the medicine to act so long as there is any room to hope for improvement.
Notwithstanding the indispensable rule that a salutary remedy shall be
allowed to expend its entire action, including the occasional momentary
aggravation, we must not hesitate to interfere with the medicine we have
chosen: 1. When it produces no effect; or 2. When its effect is unfavorable.
The first of these conditions will be revealed to the attentive physician when
he observes no symptom peculiar to the medicine, and when the state of the
disease remains stationary, or is progressively aggravated without amelioration in any respect, presenting only such symptoms as belong to a more advanced state of the malady. It is then that the physician will do well to
make an immediate repetition of the medicament administered, even to the
extent of producing some change. If there follows an improvement, even
though it be slight, it will be necessary to watch the alternations of good
and bad, as we have before indicated; but if, on the contrary, the state be
rendered worse after the repetition, we must observe whether the aggravation be salutary, or whether it be owing to badly-chosen medicine, from the
prolonged action of which we must expect unfavorable results. This last may
be easily recognized when the supervening aggravation, which may be a
contest of the medicinal symptoms, is neither preceded nor interrupted by a
single moment of comfort, and when, at the same time, the originally manifested disease makes its progress in the fashion of the general symptoms. In
this case the physician ought not fail to replace the acting medicine by one
which responds more accurately to the ensemble of the malady, and which
will also cover the symptoms produced by the acting medicine.
We can lay down as a principle that, if the general state, and especially
the moral condition of the patient be ameliorated, the physician should await
the action of the medicine, whatever Mhay be the state of the local signs in
other respects; but, whenever the patient is worse in these respects (the
general state including the moral), without any promise of a favorable termination, the medicine should be changed. The time justly required for
observation, before deciding for or against, should be at least 5, 6, or 8 days
in chronic diseases, as we have before stated; and in acute diseases from 15
to 30 minutes, or from 6 to 12 or 24 hours, according to the degree of vio



INTRODUCTION.


17


lonce and the more or less rapid progress of the disease. Thus, on examinm
ing the state of the invalid, we have frequently witnessed the salutary action
of the medicines prolonged to 24, 48, and 96 hours, in acute diseases, and to
seven and eight weeks in chronic maladies. These are the views we have
wished to make known in indicating the duration of the action of each
medicine.
V.-ON ANALOGOUS REMEDIES.
A salutary medicine having expended its action, the disease will be frequently left in a state which is less characterized by the kind of symptoms
than by the diminution of their intensity, so that we feel that we should
repeat the same medicine. In the meantime, on carefully examining the
patient, we shall observe some shades of variation, even though very delicate; it is then that another medicine is frequently indicated, which, in its
pathogenesis, bears a strong resemblance to the first. On this account
HAHNEMANN has indicated Calcarea or Nitric-acid as suitable after Sulphur,
Lycopodium, &c. Dr. CONSTANTINE HERING has increased these indications,
which we have taken pains to add to the descriptions of medicines for facilitating researches of every kind to the physician. And, to render useful the
other affinities, besides those which HAHNEMANN and HERING have indicated,
we h1ve given at the head of each medicine, under the rubric, " Compare
with," a list of those which seemed to have the closest analogy, and which,
on occasion, could not only be administered after, but also serve as antidotes
to this medicine. This list frequently differs from that of BCENNINGHAUSEN,
because the additions which the pathogenesis of many medicines has received
in latter times has also developed their analogies.
The principal advantage which the physician can draw from these indications is in making comparative studies of analogous medicines, the better to
establish their points of dissimilarity, and to avoid a multitude of deceptions
which cannot fail to arise if they be confused in the administration of one for
the other, as, for example, Lachesis in the place of Mercury, Veratrum, or
China, in that of Arsenic, &c. A deplorable abuse of these indications would
be, on the contrary, to take them for an absolute guide for a choice, and to
give a series of analogous medicines without any other reason than this
analogy; or, again, to precede a medicine still indicated by another which is
not, only because it has been reputed to be efficacious after the use of the
first. The fundamental law for the employment of medicines is always the
SIMILITUDE OF SYMPTOMS and the necessity of allowing the medicine to expend
its action. An analogous medicine cannot be thought of until the action of




18


INTRODUCTION.


the first has been expended, and then it should be only used on a comparison
of symptoms, and a conviction of the fitness of its indication.
In the article on "Antidotes" we have indicated medicines of which that in
question is the antidote itself, persuaded, as we are, in many cases, that the
antidotal relations of two medicines are reciprocal, and that by the one we
can relieve the others. Besides, it is necessary, in the choice of antidotes, as
in that of medicines in general, to follow them in their series. The best
antidote will always be that which best answers to the symptoms; and, in
general, it will be much more profitable not to lose time in seeking for an
antidote, but to make use of the medicine which most clearly accords with the
ensemble of the symptoms which the patient presents.  If this medicine
partake of both relations (antidotal and homoeopathic), so much the better;
but, if it possess neither of these, he must not hesitate to search after one
that is more suitable.
VI.-ON THE MANNER OF USING THIS MANUAL.
Having already given instructions for the practical use of this MANUAL,
we deem it equally important to make a few remarks on the mode of pursuing the study of the medicines. We should commence by glancing at the
"11 Clinical Index," for which the employment of a medicine has been recommended, taking into consideration such cases only as are distinguished by
italics, and, in comparing each one of the cases with the pathogenetic symptoms, which can indicate the medicine in a given case. This investigation,
once made for the cases which are prominent, the same will answer for the
rest, and may be extended to other cases than those we have cited, but
which must ever depend on the ensemble of the symptoms. In this manner
we gradually become familiarized with the medicine, and begin to have a
sufficient general knowledge thereof. To attain this knowledge it will
answer a good purpose to make extracts from this MANUAL. But, if the
practitioner be much occupied, he may abridge his labor by underlining in
red all the clinical cases and such symptoms as we have distinguished by
italics, and, in order to have some guiding marks at once-a frame-work
which he can gradually fill up in the course of his practical researches-take
pains to underline in red the symptoms he may not have so distinguished.
A person beginning to act thus respecting the medicines, and comparing the
most analogous medicines with each other, will soon find that he has not
done enough, but, appalled by the mass of the symptoms, will feel that he
ought have recourse to Hahnemann's most important works-"Materia

Medica" and "Chronic Diseases"-for the pursuance of these studies, to
procure the ample details of symptoms which the last analysis requires.
The complete knowledge of the Materia Medica is not as difficult as has
been generally thought, and all depends upon the manner in which it is
undertaken. By proceeding in a methodic manner, and by progressing from
generals to particulars, the student cannot fail in the end to master the most
complex lessons of this art. The course of study should begin with those
medicines which are most useful, and gradually extended, step by step, down
the scale of importance, till the remainder are understood also.
The homoeopathist, in making choice of a remedy for a case of disease,
excludes none of the medicines from the inquest, but takes all under consideration impartially; and in the, practice it is indispensable to take this
course. Whilst, in a preparatory study of the Materia Medioa, it is better
to avoid the attempt to form a coup d'eil of all the medicines at once, and to
study only one or a few at a time. Finally, that physicians may have the
study of the selection of medicines facilitated, we have indicated in Table I.
those which are most used, and after this we have prepared another (Table
II.), which contains a classification of the medicines according to their importance. These classes are five in number, each one of which is divided
into five parts, except the last, which is composed of medicines not much
known. At the end of this table will be found a plan of study, arranged so
that the student who follows it will thoroughly examine the medicines, and
very much extend his knowledge of a great number of them. We have
divided it into three parts-the first including seven studies of all of the
most important, and the two others of eleven each for the details. By
devoting a week to each of these studies, in eight months' time the student
may acquire the contents of our MANUAL, when he may also undertake the
comparison of analogous medicines, a labor which, in every case, will prove
equally productive with the others.
The new student of homoeopathy should pursue this labor, then, so indispensable to the acquirement of a certain degree of safety in practice.
To see all the homoeopathic physicians give that attention to our science
which its importance demands will unquestionably prove a more agreeable recompense than we could have wished for all the industry and
trouble that the new remodelling of our work has necessarily required at
our hands.

Nom.-The asterisk (*) indicates the medicines respecting which we possess at the same
time clinical observations and pathogenetic symptoms. The cypher (9) indicates those of which
we possess only the clinical observations.
The remedies whose names are printed in italics are those of which the greatest use has
hitherto been made. Those which have no distinction are those of which we possess some
pathogenetic symptoms, but which have hitherto been scarcely ever employed.
The names of the several remedies referred to in this book will be found in the first column.
The names of the second column are used in medical works, and are affixed to imported preparations. The third column contains the English and German Names; the fourth column the
Comparisons; and the fifth column the Antidotes.

he should begin to take some of the same medicine, or another appropriate one. It not unfrequently happens that the medicine aggravates the symptoms and makes the patient temporarily
worse, which is, nevertheless, a good sign. In such cases, the patient should cease to take any
more, and wait for the effects of what he has taken. If the aggravation is very violent, let him
smell of Camphor, but not change the remedy. But, should the beneficial effect cf the medicine
be interrupted and cease altogether-the patient growing worse, in consequence of taking cold,
eating improper food, &c.-he should take something to counteract the cause which occasioned
this interruption, and then recur to the same medicine which had previously produced the favorablle change. With regard to the external application of the tincture of Arnica, Iypericum,
Ruta, Symphytum, &c., it is only necessary to put 1 or 2 drops of the remedy in a wine-glass
of water, and apply this 3 or 4 times a day, or as often as mentioned under each particular case,
to the injured part.

(*) The asterisk designates the pathogenetic symptoms which have been
confirmed by cures.




STABLES AND EXPLANATIONS.


47


(o) The cipher indicates the symptoms or the circumstances under the
presence of which the medicine has acted favorably, but which have not as
yet been observed as pathogenetic symptoms.
(-) The stroke above is intended to annul the indication of the preceding
sign. Thus, where this stroke is not found, the last sign of a phrase always
influences all the rest. On the contrary, all that comes after this stroke is
fully equivalent to the symptoms which have no sign, and belong to the observations purely pathogenetic.
All the signs will be often found in a single phrase, as, for instance, in
the following:
Itching, *shooting pains and pressure in the eyes -and in the eye-lids,
oespecially at night, *or in the evening, -as well as in the morning.
In this phrase there are first: Itching, shooting pains, and pressure, which
have been observed, all three, as pathogenetic symptoms, but of which the
two last, shooting pains and pressure, have been at the same time removed
by the medicine in one case of cure, as the asterisk (*) indicates. But the
stroke (-) before and in the eye-lids announces, at the same time, that the
cure has as yet been observed only for the eyes, and not for the eye-lids, for
which the observation is not pathogenetic. Then comes the cipher (0) before
especially at night, which declares that these sensations, in -the case cured,
had taken place at night, but that, at that hour, they had not been observed
as pathogenetic effects. But the second asterisk (*) before in the evening,
meansthat, at that latter period, these symptoms have taken place, as well
in the case of cure as in the quality of pathogenetic effects. The last stroke
(-) indicates, finally, that the appearance of these symptoms, in the morning, has been -hitherto observed only as pathogenetic effects.
(? ) The note of interrogation is placed after the name of any disease
which has not yet, to our knowledge, been cured by that remedy with absolute certainty, or which has been recommended merely upon theoretical
grounds.
(;) The semicolon in this work has been employed to separate the parts
of one and the same symptom; it has only been used for the purpose of distinguishing the part after it, as being entirely different from the part preceding. Thus, "vertigo in the evening; when walking in the open air;
with nausea," &c., means: Vertigo in the evening; vertigo when walking
in the open air; vertigo with nausea, &c.
The symptoms printed in italics are generally those which have been
observed or removed more frequently than the others; but this distinction
has been made only with relation to the symptoms of the same organ, and
often even only for the kind of sufferings, so that one pain, for instance, has
been distinguished only with relation to other pains, and not with rela.
tion to other symptoms of the same organ, and still less with relation to all
the symptoms of the medicine. It is thus, for instance, that in the following
phrase: Pressure, itching, and shooting pains in the eyes and in the eye-lids,
the passage printed in italics means only that the shooting pains have been
observed oftener than the itching and theo pressure, and that they have
taken place more frequently in the eyes than in the eye-lids.

MANUAL
OF THE
HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA,
1.-ACETIC ACID.
ACET.-ACID.-Vinegar.-An acid peculiar to the vegetable kingdom.-Duration of action: primarily, from one to twenty-four hours; secondarily (from
long-continued use), many months.
COMPARE WITH-Oxalic, Citric, Tartaric, and other vegetable acids; also Phos.ac., Sulph.-ac., Nitric and Muriatic-ac.
ANTIDOTES.-For poisoning, Chalk, Whiting, Magnesia, Soap or Oil, Bicarbonated alkalies, Milk, White of Egg, or almost any demulcent. Homeopathically, China, Nux-v., Coffea, Ars., Bell.
'RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-Acetic-acid is a powerful antiseptic,
being employed, as is well known, in pickling, preservation of animal
food, and anatomical preparations. Liquid albumen,(as the serum of
the blood and white of egg) is not coagulated by it, but coagulated
albumen is readily dissolved by it, especially with the assistance of
heat. Fibrin, as muscle or the crassamentum of blood, is also readily
dissolved by it. Casein is coagulated by it, and it dissolves the
hematin of the blood.- It is a solvent of gelatine. Diluted, and
mixed with mucus, it will act as a digestive fluid.
Only one fatal case of poisoning with it is on record, and in that
the patient, a girl, appeared to be intoxicated, complained of acute
pain, and was violently convulsed. Swallowed in a very dilute form,
and in moderate doses, it proves refreshing, allays thirst, diminishes
preternatural heat, lowers the pulse, and augments the urine. In its
general effects, therefore, it appears to lower the powers of life, and
to prove mildly antiphlogistic. Its local operation is astringent.
When habitually used, it appears to produce a languor of digestion,
which has been known to be followed by tuberculosis: It is said, in
long-continued doses, to induce disease of the gastro-enteric mucous
membrane. To these observations it may be added that, according
to Hebreart, a small quantity of Acetic-acid, dropped into the wind3                                 49

pipe, caused hissing respiration, rattling in the throat, and death in
three days, from true croup. The lining membrane of the windpipe
was covered with a fibrinous pseudo-membrane, exactly as after
croup.-F. G S.
INTELLECT.-Confusion of ideas; disinclination to exert the mind;
slight and transient delirium; diminished intellectual power.
Clinical Remarks.-It has proved curative in mania with cerebral
excitement; delirium caused by Opium; delirium of typhus; alternate stupor and delirium of typhus.
DIsPosITIoN.-Irritability of temper; nervous and excitable mood.
HEAD.-Giddiness; dull pains in the forehead and vertex; shooting pains through the temples; heaviness of the head, with sense of
intoxication; indications of vascular excitement in the brain; disten-.
tion of the temporal blood-vessels, with increased heat of the head.
Clinical Remarks.-It has proved curative of hoemorrhage of the
nose, arising from determination of blood to the head (used locally as
well as internally); headaches from abuse of stimulants, tobacco,
coffee, and Opium; affections of the brain dependent on nervous
congestion.
SCALIP. Clinical Remarks.-In tinea-capitis, the local application
of the strong acid is recommended by Wigan. The first application
is with the acid, diluted with three times its weight of water. On
being applied, a number of spots, previously looking healthy, become
red patches; then, with a piece of sponge tied to the end of a stick,
each spot is to be saturated thoroughly with the strong acid for three
or four minutes. A single application is sufficient in the majority of
cases. A crust grows up with the hair, which may be removed as
soon as a pair of fine scissors can be introduced beneath it. Erasir-ns
Wilson speaks favorably of a similar mode of'treatment repeated once
a week.-J. C. P.
EYE. Clinical Remarks.-Particles of lime in the eye are effectually dissolved, and the pain eased, by bathing the eye with diluted
Vinegar.-J. C. P. o
FACE.-Face pale and waxen; eyes sunken and surrounded by a
dark circle.
THROAT; DIPHTHERITIC OR CROUPOUS FALSE M1EMBRANE. Clinical
Remarks.-The sore throit of scarlet fever is much benefitted by the
application of the steam of warm Vinegar; in quinsy, and almost
every form of ulcerated or relaxed sore throat, much relief is obtained
by inhaling the vapor of hot Vinegar and water.
APPETITE AND TASTE.-D)iminished appetite; tongue pale and
flabby; adypsia; vomiting soon after eating.




ACETIC ACID.


51


STOMACH.-When taken daily, in its diluted form, and in large
doses, it produces great uneasiness, cramps and colic, and gradually
destroys so effectually the texture of the stomach, and its digestive
functions, as to cause emaciation of the body.
Clinical Remarks.-Dr. Tracy's (of Ohio) experience with the
vegetable acids, as corrigents of acidity of the stomach, has been
considerable; he has prescribed them in a large number of cases,
and in nearly all with decided benefit. Dr. Tracy himself was subject
to repeated and severe attacks of conjunctivitis, accompanied with
acidity of the stomach, which he had attempted to correct by the
early and free use of Soda, but in vain. He had for months abstained
from the use of acids, but was finally induced to take a glass of lemonade, with great alleviation. The remedy was again and again repeated, and the threatened ophthalmic attacks effectually prevented.
Dr. Tracy has found vegetable acids uniformly and entirely successful
in removing the disposition to attacks of acidity of the stomach in
persons subject to them; and his impression is that, in all such cases,
they can be relied upon with more confidence than any other remedies. In cases of acidity from pregnancy, he has found the sub-acid
fruit of great service, while those that were tart could not be borne,
and mineral acids were decidedly injurious, while the whole range of
alkalies and absorbents were of little or no avail. Braithwaite says
this may seem a very unscientific (but very homoeopathic) mode of
procedure; still facts seem to corroborate the value of the practice in
some cases. Dr. Chapman, of Philadelphia, experienced relief from
the same remedy. The late Professor Wiston had for a long time
ineffectually endeavored to relieve an opulent merchant of acidity of
the stomach, who was very speedily cured by drinking of sour beer.
Dr. Chapman had a most distressing case, which proved utterly intractable during nearly a whole winter, to the regular alkaline remedies, which was cured promptly during the summer by the patient
subsisting on the sour pie-cherry. Nor is this the. only instance in
which Dr. Chapman has heard of cures ascribed to tart and perhaps
unripe fruit of several kinds, and one especially by Professor
Hodges, to sour or unripe apples; he also attended a case with Dr.
J. Rhea Barton, which yielded immediately to wheaten mush and
Vinegar, largely and eagerly consumed.-J. C. P.
ABDOMEN.-Griping pain in the bowels; diarrhoea; tympanitis,
with difficulty of breathing (from large doses); rumbling in the abdomen.
Clinical Remarks.-Dr. Parrot has treated, successfully, diarrhoea
accompanying typhus fever with diluted Vinegar; also diarrhoea with




52


ACETIC ACID.


pain in the gastric region, rumbling, and delirium; also constipation
with tympanitic abdomen and stupor; also griping pains in the abdomen of several years' standing, with difficulty of breathing, sleeplessness, vomiting after every meal, impaired sight, and irritable mood;
also six cases of ascites follbwing intermittent and scarlet fevers.
STooL.-Watery diarrhoea; diarrhoea, with colic pains, and tenderness of the abdomen to the touch; bloody discharges from the bowels.
Clinical Remarks.-In a paper read before the Epidemicological
Society of London, Dr. J. H. Tucker begins by alluding to the remarkable, but well established fact that, in 1849, the cider-districts
of Herefordshire, Somersetshire, and part of Devonshire were, to a
great extent, exempt from the ravages of cholera, while the disease
was raging around. Upon further inquiry, it was ascertained that this
exemption was confined a good deal to those individuals who drank
cider as a common beverage, and that those who partook of malt liquor
occasionally suffered. He also remarks that, in some parts of France
and Normandy, more particularly where cider is the common beverage, cholera is seldom known to exist. TUCKER also expresses the
opinion that other vegetable acids will be found of service, such as
lemon-juice (but lemonade often causes griping and diarrhoea), orangejuice, and sour wines made from grapes. As it would be quite impossible to supply the world with a sufficient quantity of 'pure cider,
he suggests that Vinegar might be found a useful substitute in case
of another outbreak of cholera. He then proceeds to show that acid
drinks were not only preventive, but remedial in epidemic disorders
of the bowels. Cases are related in which not only were persons
exempt from attacks of cholera raging around them, who drank freely
of cider, but a case of severe cholera is also related which yielded to
the diluted juice of sour apples. He also refers to some established
facts connected with the spread of epidemic dysentery in the army,
showing the efficacy of vegetable acids in that disease.
URINE.-Urine increased in quantity, and of a lighter color.
UTERUS. Clinical Remarks.-In uterine haemorrhages the application of cold Vinegar and water to the pubes is not only agreeable,
but tends considerably to arrest the discharge of blood.-J. C. P.
LARYNX, TRACHEA, AND CHEST.-Irritation of the windpipe and
chest; dry cough, attended with oppressed respiration, succeeded by
a moist cough with fever, increased difficulty of breathing, emaciation,
night-sweats, cedema of the feet and legs, diarrhoea, and death. De"position of diphtheritic false membrane. True croup. Klusemann
reports three cases of hemoptysis caused by the use of Acetic-acid,
in from one to four weeks.




ACETIC ACID.


53


Clinical Remarks.-Vinegar, much diluted with water, has often
checked night-sweats, brdnchial hemorrhages, and diarrhoea from
hectic fever. Kopperstcetter, Oettinger, and others, have cured several
cases of hydrothorax by the use of Vinegar, in from two to six
weeks.
In phthisis, the value of the external application of diluted Vinegar
to the chest and upper part of the body, in allaying the profuse perspirations, is well known; it is a measure attended with salutary
effects, and is of great comfort to the patient. The mixture employed
by Sir C. Scudamore for this purpose is composed of one pint of
Vinegar, one of Cologne water, and two of water. Alcohol or spirits
and water is often more useful than Vinegar. Dr. Roberts strongly
advocates both the internal and external use of Vinegar for checking
the hectic and night-sweats, restraining haemoptysis, and producing
costiveness. As a preventive of phthisis, Dr. Graves speaks favorably of washing the chest with Vinegar and water, beginning with it
tepid, and reducing the temperature gradually until it can be used
cold.
In hemoptysis, the internal and external use of Vinegar was highly
esteemed by the ancients; Caelius Aurelianns Avicenna, and Rhases
are among its chief advocates.
In asthenia and angina-pectoris, it is of great importance to diminish the susceptibility of the patient to cold; one of the most.effectual
means of effecting this is to bathe the chest with Vinegar and water.
It is a measure fraught with benefit also to those who are liable to
continual catarrhal attacks.-J. C. P.
BREASTS. Clinical Remarks.-To milk or mammary abscesses,
the application of warm Vinegar is stated, by Dr. Dewees, to be so
successful, in the early stage of the disease, that we need not in
general look for any other remedy. It is, he states, particularly useful when the breasts are greatly and painfully distended with milk;
it should be perseveringly employed for twenty-four hours. This
testimony in favor of it is very strong.
UPPER EXTREMITIES.-Diminished muscular power of the arms
and hands; paralytic sensation in the wrists and hands; coldness
and prickling in the hands.
LOWER EXTREMITIES.-(Edematous swelling of the feet and legs;
impaired muscular power of the legs; diminished sensibility of the
feet; coldness of the feet.
FEVER.-Hectic fever, with emaciation, cough, night-sweats, diar.
rhoea, dyspnoea, and dropsical swelling of the feet and legs; typhus
fever, with violent delirium, diarrhoea, pain in the abdomen, rumbling




54


ACETIC ACID.


in the gastric region; also typhus with stupor, tympanitic abdomen,
and obstinate constipation.
SKIN.-Skin pale and waxen; general anasarca; diminished sensibility of the surface of the body; temperature of the skin below the
natural standard.
In scarlatina, dilute Acetic-acid, internally, has been strongly recommended by Dr. Isaac Brown. He considers that it is more efficacious than any other treatment, and that it tends to prevent the
occurrence of dropsy. Dr. Webster relates four cases, in which it
appeared to him conclusive that sponging the body of the patient pre
vented the spread of the disease beyond the original patient.-J. C. P.
In psoriasis, Dr. Cummin states that his trials with strong Aceticacid have been highly satisfactory; the diseased cuticle separating
in flakes, and a new surface being exposed, of a much more healthy
character. The application of the acid is hot and painful, especially
when there are excoriations and fissures; but these should be protected by Glycerine, or simple cerate. The acid requires, in most
cases, to be repeated two or three times. In obstinate cases of lepra,
much benefit has been derived from the use of baths acidulated with
Acetic-acid.-J. C. P.
Ncevus-Maternus.-Dr. Behrend, of Berlin, advises, in the case of
the small flat ncvi, the application of strong Acetic-acid; under this
treatment the blood is made to coagulate in its vessels, the nevus
becomes hard and yellow, and is thrown off in the form of a parchment-like layer. In obstinate cases, the Muriate Tincture of Iron, or
a slight application of strong Nitric-acid may be used.
Warts and moles may be removed effectually by the application of
the strong acid. The warts should be first carefully pared down, and
the acid should then be applied with a camel's hair brush. Large
moles may be touched lightly with strong Nitric-acid, a wet rag may
be applied at once to prevent the acid from burning too deep, and
subsequently the mole may be touched every day or two with Aceticacid. I have found this mode of treatment very successful.-J. C. P.
Cancer.-Aceticacid is the only known agent which dissolves the
true cancer cells; it may be used freely, internally and externally.
Burns and Scalds.-Cleghorn, of Edinburgh, recommends the immediate application of Vinegar to the burnt surface, to be continued
until the pain abates, and when this returned the application was ropeated.
In purpura, whether attended by fever or of a torpid character,
Erasmus Wilson advises sponging the. body with tepid Vinegar and
water.




ACONITUM NAPELLUS.


55


In hospital gangrene, when of a mild character, Delpech speaks
highly of the topical application of Acetic-acid and Vinegar. The
ulcerations having been previously cleansed, are to be washed with
strong Vinegar, and then covered with charpie, wet with the same
liquid. If this fails, caustics must be used.
Vinegar in Itch.-Professor Le Cocur, of Caen, recommends for
the cure of itch, forcible frictions of the parts affected with a hard
sponge, soaked in good Vinegar, thrice daily, so as to penetrate the
skin and rupture the vesicles. He has tried this treatment with the
most complete success in ten cases, the average length of the treatment being less than five days. He thinks this treatment preferable
to all others, on account of its speedy action, its inexpensive nature,
its freedom from all unpleasant odors, and its easy application. He
suggests that similar results might be obtained by frictions with the
mineral acids, diluted with water.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Febrile symptoms accompanying typhus; hectic fever; dropsical affections arising from loss of blood,
diarrhoea, or functional derangements; hmmorrhages from the nose,
lungs, and stomach; local eruptions, of an itching and burning character; determination of blood to the head, with delirium, convulsive
movements, and severe pains in the head.
PATHOLOGY.-Concentrated Acetic-acid acts as a caustic poison
to dogs. It causes blackening of the mucous lining of the stomach, analogous to that produced by Sulphuric-acid. Four or five ounces of
common Vinegar proved fatal to dogs in ten or fifteen minutes, when
the oesophagus was tied to prevent vomiting. Injected into the blood,
it does not appear to act energetically. Its chemical influence depends principally on its power of dissolving fibrin, albumen, and gelatine, by which it is enabled to dissolve many of the animal tissues.
On animals, it was noticed that large doses of the impure acid affected
the cerebro-spinal system, and caused giddiness, insensibility, paralysis, and convulsions. A very constant effect of it was an affection
of the windpipe and lungs. The acid was detected by its odor in
the blood and secretions.

Sulph., Sep., Verat.-Oil, and vomiting excited by oil, seem to aggravate the
effects of Acon.
RATIONALE OF ITS AcTCON.-According to Dr. Gerstel (a homosopathist), the primary action of Aconite consists:
1. Almost exclusively of an affection of the nervous system, especi.
ally of -the vaso-motor portion of the great sympathetic nerve, with a
simultaneous affection of a larger portion of that part of the spinal
marrow which presides over sensation, viz., the posterior column,
while the anterior or motor column only becomes implicated by reflex
action.
2. The peculiar character of the primitive action of Aconite is
paralyzing or depressing; from smaller doses and slighter degrees of
its action, this paralyzing influence is marked by the occurrence of
crawling, prickling, and'creeping sensations, accompanied with a sense
ofnumbness, to which is added, at a later period, a feeling of swelling,
especially in the skin of the arms, fingers, face, external chest, and legs.
3. Frequently the depressing action of the Aconite is confined to
the sphere of the sympathetic nerve, and is marked by a confused and
depressed state of mind, which seems to proceed from the region of
the heart.
4. Then a feeling of chilliness, or creeping chills over the back,
or proceeding from the back, are experienced, and may gradually increase to an intense sense of coldness, with shaking chills, actual
numbness and blueness of the parts most distant from the centre of
the circulation, viz., the fingers and toes.
5. From a continuous and more powerful action of it, its paralyzing
power will influence the vaso-motor apparatus in particular, marked
by intermitting, weak, and irregular action of the heart, emptiness of
the left side of the heart and great blood-vessels, with corresponding
alteration of the pulse, even down to complete pulselessness, with
oppression of the chest anxiety, restlessness, vertigo, and swooning,
all proceeding from debility of the heart.
6. The simultaneous affection of the sympathetic and spinal nerves
is marked by sensations of bruisedness, sluggishness, heaviness, and
lameness of the muscles, especially of the mouth, tongue, upper, and
still more of the lower limbs, and by entire loss of sensation, especially
of the hands.

7. It is to be expected, from this state of depression of the arteries
and sensorial nerves, that all the secretions and excretions which depend principally upon the arterial influence will be more or less interrupted; still the urinary secretion seems at times to form an exception,
as it may be increased in quantity, and then it is more watery and spasmodic. It is very probable that similar alterations take place in the
serous, fibrous, and mucous membranes.
8. From extreme degrees of its action, viz., from more or less complete paralysis of the arteries, a very high state of venosity, or intense
venous congestion ensues. The heart is then found to contain retained
blood; the lungs are hypermemic and over-filled with black, thinly-fluid,
and venous blood, without exhibiting the slightest trace of inflammation; the sinuses of the membranes of the brain are crowded with
black blood; hence the vertigo, staggering as if from intoxication, the
bloating of the face, the involuntary sighing, the deep breathing, the
blueness of the skin of the face and lips, the icy coldness of the limbs,
the venous abdominal plethora, the obstruction of the liver, the crowding
of the blood with crude bilious substances, the dark yellow color of
the skin, &c., until, finally, death ensues, from complete obstruction of
the circulation and respiration, owing to paralysis of the heart, pulmonary apoplexy, and asphyxia.-J. C. P.
SECONDARY OR KEACTIVE STAGE OF THE ACONITE DISEASE.-In those
cases where the primary action of the Aconite is not too powerful,
the organism reacts at once against it, and nervous erethism, hypersesthesia, and arterial reaction ensue; thus, the creeping, crawling,
and numb sensations give way to more or less painful piercing, rending, aching, and pressing sensations; the sense of weariness, lassitude, lameness, and powerlessness are supplied by trembling, jerking, partial or general convulsions; the coldness, faintness, weakness, irregularity, and slowness of the pulse are supplanted by arterial
reaction, heat of the face, sensation of swelling of external parts, and
erethistic or synochal fever; the heart beats more powerfully; the pulse
becomes quicker and fuller, and occasions congestion and irritation
in all the secreting organs, and in parts abundantly supplied with blood,
as the bronchial mucous membraue, exudation of blood and inflammation may ensue.-J. C. P.
GENERAL EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Sensation.
-Aconite seems to exert a very decided and specific action upon the
nerves of sensation, as evidenced by the peculiar feelings of tingling,
prickling, numbness, creeping, and craw'ling, &c., which it causes in
so marked a degree in almost every organ and part of the body. It
is somewhat a matter of doubt whether it acts primarily and para,
3*




58                    ACONITUMI NAPELLUS.
lyzingly upon the nerves of sensation, or whether the numbness, ting.
ling, and loss of sensation, which it produces in so eminent a degree,
arises from its depressing action upon those ganglionic, or vaso-motor,
or great sympathetic nerves which follow the blood-vessels to their
most minute ramifications and preside over their functions. My own
impression is, that the pains caused and cured by Aconite are not
purely nervous or neuralgic pains, but are such as arise from some
acrid, or rheumatic, or other irritation of the ganglionic nerves about
the blood-vessels, or else are congestive in. their nature, or owing to
the return of the circulation and nervous energy to the blood-vessels
and nerves of the afflicted parts, similar to what happens when the
foot or leg is said to be asleep. Veith Meyer thinks that Aconite
stimulates, or excites, or arouses the sensibility of the nerves of sensation, and assumes that the few symptoms that indicate an opposite
condition are so insignificant that they may be considered as the
results of secondary action. But it is impossible to read a well described case of poisoning with Aconite or Aconitine without becoming aware of the prominent and primary importance of the signs of
paralysis of the circulation and the nervous energies, or direct depression of the vital powers; thus, the most manifest symptoms are, slight
wandering delirium, the consciousness being partly retained; general
muscular tremors, or very slight convulsions; failure of the circulation; a feeling of numbness and tingling over the entire body;
coolness or coldness of the skin; loss of sight, and death by exhaustion or syncope. If the above views be correct, it cannot be a specific in
cases of pure neuralgia, in which the nerve alone is affected.-J. C. P.
Nerves of Motion.-Aconite does not irritate the nerves of motion
primarily like Nux-vomica, Angustura, Ig.natia, and Strychnine, but
rather produces great muscular debility, which may, however, in the
reactive stage, be followed by increased muscular energy, or irritation, and even convulsions. Still it is to be supposed that the convulsions caused by Aconite are similar to those which follow an
excessive loss of blood, or the use of Tobacco, Digitalis, Ptussicacid, &c.-J. C. P.,
MUSCULAR SYSTEM.-If Aconite is homoeopathic to any form of in.
flammation at all, it is so to 'rheumatic inflammation, inflammation of
the muscular and fibrous systems, &c. Latham says: Acute rheumatism of the severest kind may have the start of us for full ten or
fourteen days, during which nothing whatever has been done for its
relief, and when at length the proper remedy has been applied, it has
been cured as easily and rapidly as any one could promise himself
that it would have been if he had taken it in hapd one or two weeks

sooner; surely there is something remarkable enough to make us stop
and think for a moment. An inflammation of the brain, the liver, or
the lungs, would not thus wait our pleasure or our neglect, and be
as cdurable ten or fourteen days hence as it is to-day. For inflaipmation in these organs does not stand still in its first stage. It is progressive from stage to stage, and each succeeding stage carries it farther and farther away from the remedy. But it is the very peculiarity of acute rheumatism that it does, in a certain sense, stand still,
or rather does not get beyond the first stage. All its actions and
movements are as forcible and rapid as possible, yet it does not get
beyond the first stage. All its energy is expended upon one stage,
and there is no apparent progression beyond it. A fortnight ago there
was great heat, and nervous and vascular excitement, and great pain
and swelling of the joints, and to-day we have nothing more, and perhaps nothing less. There is no more sign of inflammatory exudation,
or suppuration, or of parts disorganized, or parts destroyed, now than
then. Verily, it seems as if the disease had wanted to be cured all
the while. In fact, all the principal German writers on the materia
medica place great stress upon the. proclivity of Aconite to cause
rheumatic symptoms; thus Vogt, Dierbach, and Sobernheim agree
that, after the first tumult caused by taking large quantities of Aconite has passed off, that the head is apt to become very painful, and
pains appear in the limbs, especially the so-called bone and joint pains,
and persist until a more or less profuse sweat and increased flow of
saturated urine set in.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. HIeart and Arteries.--Pulse frequent, soft, and
weak, the beat being sometimes so feeble as to be almost imperceptible. Pulse 100, feeble, and regular. Pulse feeble, 120, and intermitting after every second stroke. Pulse 90 and of fair strength.
Heart's action almost imperceptible. Pulse small and 140. Pulse
40. Pulse often intermitting and feeble. Pulse scarcely perceptible.
Sensation as if all the blood in his veins were frozen. Pulse scarcely
to be felt; when it became more perceptible it was still intermitting
and irregular; at timcs two or three beats followed each other quickly,
and then were succeeded by an intermission. Pulse quick and irregular. Pulse slow and intermitting. Heart flabby and containing
but little black fluid blood. Pulse so small and weak that it can
scarcely be felt. Coldness and pulselessness of the limbs, and feeble
beating of the heart; when the pulse became fuller it was only 58, and
intermitted every fourth beat; gradually it rose to 70, and finally tq
100, the skin becoming hot and dry. Pulse irr.gular and slow; pulse
54, unequal and soft. as if the blood did not fill the arteries, U-eag

almost empty. No pulse to be felt in radial or temporal arteries;
afterwards it rose to 125. Both venous and arterial blood very fluid.
Some fluid and a great deal of coagulated blood in right side of heart;
ventricles and auricles filled with black coagulated blood.
Teste asserts that, "If Aconite could be given in the very commencement, before the disease has had time to develop a local inflammation, this localization might be prevented in many cases; but I believe, likewise, that when the local inflammation has already acquired
a certain degree of intensity, many other drugs may, by virtue of constitutional idiosyncrasies, or with respect to the organ which has become the local focus of the disease, be preferable to Aconite, which,
in such cases, could not be administered without involving a precious
loss of time. As a general rule, it seems to me that, even in acute
inflammations, Aconite is only indicated when the inflammatory fever
is the ruling symptom."
CLINICAL REMARKS.-In disease of the heart, particularly in
those in which the chief indication is to diminish the action of that
organ, Fleming found Aconite a most valuable remedy. In functional
derangement it will often effect a cure. In simple hypertrophy, pain
and increased action of the heart, it is preferable to Digitalis; its
action is more purely sedative and more unifdrm. But, in a very
large class of cases of disease of the heart, when obstruction exists,
which prevents the heart from transmitting the necessary quantity of
blood by the usual number of pulsations, and it is forced to make up
Sfor such inadequacy by more frequent and forcible contractions, the
use of Aconite, Digitalis, and similar remedies is highly injurious
VENOUS SYSTEM.-It is homoeopathic to intense or excessive venous
congestion of many organs,.with entire paralysis, or depotentization
of all the arterial activities, carried up to the point of absolute cyanosis. If the vital forces of the patient are great enough to react against
the Aconite, of course quite opposite symptoms will arise, viz., acute
pains in various parts, and more or less active febrile excitement,
which rarely, however, proceeds to the extent of causing true inflammation. When itidoes seem to cause inflammation, it is not a pure,
frank, and decisive inflammation; even Dr. Veith Meyer is obliged
to admit that, " We have as yet no irrefragable proofs that this drug
can produce any thing farther than the congestive state; there are as
yet no instances, not even in cases of poisoning, nor in the later and
most industrious provings of our Vienna colleagues, in which the in
troduction of it into the healthy organism has resulted in the appear
ance of any one of the products peculiar to inflammation, viz., an
exudation."  It may occasionally cause an effusion, but never a true




ACONITUM NAPELLUS.


inflammatory exudation of plastic lymph, fibrine, or pus. "Even in
the post-mortem examinations of those poisoned by Aconite, so far as
now known, as well as in the experiments upon animals, no positive
and decisive indications have been observed that any true inflammatory product has ever followed the administration of Aconite." Hence
Aconite cannot cure a fully developed inflammation, but can only
subdue that congestive state which precedes inflammation, before a perfect inflammatory stasis and exudation have set in; in other words, it
can cut an inflammation short before it is fully developed, but it cannot
cure it when it is; this is confirmed at the bedside. In inflammation
this remedy never fails to exert its beneficent and quieting power over
the fever which accompanies the inflammation, and even over som6
of the inflammatory symptoms themselves, still, should the disease
have gone a stage beyond the stadium congestivum, we often find ourselves obliged to abandon our Aconite, or at least only to rely upon it
as a fellow-worker with other drugs more homoeopathic to the existing disease.
Pereyra (not Pereira) says, " We observe no genuine traces of in
flammation in the bodies of those who have fallen victims to this poi
son-he insists that the mere circumstance of patches here and there
of vascular fullness (which even Noack and Trinks admit to be seated
especially in the veins) along the alimentary canal, does not prove
that inflammation is present-for this appearance is observed in
almost all cases where life is extinguished from the action of sedative agents," and Opium, it is well known, causes flushed countenance, full pulse, but does not excite inflammation, but venous congestion.-J. C. P.
Vogt says, except the over-filling of the great vessels with (venous)
blood, we find but few traces of affection of the intestinal canal, in
poisoning with Aconite, of the kind which the acria cause. He
adds that violent poisoning with it is characterized especially by
the excessive predominance of venosity, great congestion, and accumulation of (venous) blood in the head, chest, liver, and whole abdomen--it seems evident that, if the veins be so full, the arteries
must be comparatively empty.-J. C. P.
The bilious symptoms which Aconite is apt to cause, also speak
for its primary action upon the venous system. This is a great stum.
bling-block to those who assume that it acts primarily and excitingly
upon the arterial system. Veith Meyer says: "There is one morbid
condition of the economy which, in the present position of our science,
is not easily reconciled with what we (Veith Meyer) have laid down
as the general sphere of activity of this drug; I (V. M.) have as



62


ACONITTIM NAPELLUS.


sumed that its field of operation is solely in the ganglionic nervous
system, that it affects only the vaso-motor nerves which excite or sustain the arterial activity." Biliousness, jaundice, and congestion of
the liver are vastly different affections from arterial congestion, true
and arterial inflammation.
Look for a moment at the following symptoms of Aconite, and see
if they do not present a perfect picture ofJaundice.-Dark-yellow skin. Yellowness of the sclerotica. Loss
of appetite. Disgust for meat. Bitter taste in the mouth. Bitter taste
in the mouth, with want of appetite. Pains in the chest and under
the short ribs. Malaise after eating. Eructations with sourish taste.
Vomiturition. Vomiting of green bile. Vomiting of a greenish,
watery fluid. Vomiting of mucus. Pressing pain in the stomach, as
if from a weight. Violent colic-pains. Pressing pains, as from a
weight in the hypochondria. Colic, with inflation of the abdomen,
relieved by the discharge of wind. Pressure in the hepatic region, by
which the respiration is embarrassed (apparently from an increase of
bulk in the organ), then aching in the umbilical region. Squeezing
pain in the region of the gall-bladder, when sitting, embarrassing the
respiration. Flatulence. White evacuations. White evacuations
and red urine. Thin, rather watery evacuations, with some colic,
grumbling in the abdomen, and faint feeling. Constipation for several
days. The urine passed in the early morning is brown, becomes
cloudy after a time, and deposits a sediment. Nights in the highest
degree restless, sleepless, and full of dreams. Fearful, vexatious
drdams. Head confused and vacant in the morning after waking.
Pain all over, as if beaten. Unusual weariness. Constant itching
and biting in different spots on the skin, obliging him to scratch.
Slow pulse. Pulse unequally full, soft.
You will not easily find, in any of the text-books on pathology, a
clearer description of icterus than this detail of symptoms brings before
you. According to the assumption of the primary venous, and passivecongestive action of Aconite, we would expect exactly such effects
upon the liver and biliary functions. It also seems homoeopathic to
abdominal dropsy from disease of the liver and omentum.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.-Stdrck and Greding assume that Aconito
does not act as prominently upon the glandular system as Conium,
yet they both report cases of glandular swellings and tumors which
resisted the action of Conium and yielded to that of Aconite.
TOXICOLOGY.-Dorsal decubitus; fixed eyes; contracted pupils;
livid countenance; stiffness of the jaws; coldness and pulselessness
of the limbs; short, imperfect, difficult respiration; feeble beating of

the heart, with intermissions. Peculiar crawling and trembling in the
limbs, attended with piercing pain. In another case, the patient first
experienced warmth and contraction of the throat; excessively
anxious and restless, complaining of his throat, and of burning along
the oesophagus. His mental and sensorial functions were undisturbed;
his tongue whitish; nausea; no pain in the bowels. The primitive
action of the drug sdomed to fall upon the lower limbs, which were
in incessant motion, even while sitting; when he walked, his legs
trembled, so as to give him a peculiar staggering gait; he had violent
pain in the throat, and exhibited excessive restlessness and fear of
death. Two and a half hours after, he could not hold himself upright,
and was attacked with a peculiar variety of convulsions, viz., the upper
and lower extremities were forcibly drawn inwards, the fingers
clenched, and thumbs turned in so as to form a fist; the legs were in
a state of persistent adduction; all this time there was not the slightest concussion; the face was covered with a cold viscid sweat; the
eyes turned up, so that only their whites were to be seen. No pulse
was to be felt in the radial or temporal arteries; the paroxysm lasted
about three minutes, was attended by cracking of the joints, and succeeded by exhaustion. He experienced and expressed very great
anxiety; thought that his last hour had come; his intellect was generally unclouded, except at intervals, when he fell into a state of stupefaction, closed his eyes, let his head sink, and then rose up again, with
a motion similar to that made by one who has fallen asleep while riding
and then suddenly awakes; but he was perfectly blind, and could
distinguish neither persons nor objects around him. He again vomited,
had constant nausea, and was again attacked with convulsions. In
two hours more the patient had recovered his sight, but the convulsions were as frequent and more severe than before; the temperature
of his skin sank lower every moment; he experienced several shudderings, and soon after became icy cold, with hippocratic countenance
and violent retraction of the head backwards; respiration stertorous;
mucous rattle heard at a distance; still, notwithstanding his agonizing
condition, he heard everything that was said to him, and had not the
slightest pain in the abdomen; soon after the first attack of convulsions, the palms of his hands became so insensible that he did not
feel deep pricks 'with a needle. He remained in this condition for two
hours longer, when the heart and pulse-beats again became perceptible; warmth and general comfort returned; in an hour more his appearance had improved, a profuse warm sweat broke out, pulse rose
to 125, sensation had returned in the palms of both hands, and respi.
ration was free and easy. After a short sleep, the patient awoke with




64


ACONITUM NAPELLUS.


a general bruised feeling; injections brought away black and very
offensive feeces; urine was scanty and very turbid; abdomen not at
all painful; tongue moist and white. For several days the patient's
features bore the marks of fright and stupidity.
HAHNEMANN.1-The very careful observations of the venerable
founder of homoeopathy deserve the strictest attention-viz.: " That
Aconite causes a prompt removal of inflammatory action, without
consecutive effect in fevers, called purely inflammatory; acts magically in measles, purpura-miliaris, in inflammatory fevers with pleurisy, &c., if the regimen be somewhat cooling; is an indispensable
remedy in the most obstinate chronic affections, in which the state
of the body requires a diminution of what is called rigidity of fibre
(sthenic diathesis, &c.); is the first and most powerful curative
agent in croup, several kinds of angina, and other local inflammations, especially when thirst and frequent pulse are attended by
great impatience, agitation which nothing can calm, and tossing
from  side to side in great agony; cures morbid states in persons
whose minds have been excited from fear and indignation;.is indispensable for females who suffer from fear or contrarieties during the
catamenia, which otherwise might be interrupted; may be salutary
for those symptoms (which follow), principally of a tonic character,
which appear to be contradictory, but are alternate states; and will
prove inoperative through vegetable acids, wine, and other remedies
which correspond palliatively or homoeopathically with its effects in
excessive doses."
HIARTMANN.-" Sanguine temperament, robust constitutzon, and diminution of the pains when moving, especially indicate this remedy.
Inflammatory fever-for which Aconite is a specific-is characterized
by: Constant burning heat over the whole body, with redness of skin;
distention and redness of the face; eyes glistening and prominent;
respiration short and anxious; dry, red tongue-in rare cases it is
somewhat coated with mucus; great1 thirst, constipation, and even
absence of dejections; inappetence; hot, red urine, which is passed in
small quantities; sleeplessness, jactitation, restlessness, and anxiety.
In all local inflammations, attended by this fever, as pleurisy, pneumonia, carditis, enteritis, &c., Aconite is frequently required, either
as a direct or preparatory expedient. In congestions, seething of

blood, and hmKmorrhages. of various kinds, it is indispensable. In
acute diseases, where all remedies which seem to be indicated are ineffectual, or affect too powerfully without improvement, Aconite often
removes very quickly this hyper-excitation of the nervous system;
by this treatment, the remedies which are then indicated act more
favorably."
Griessolich thought that Aconite was indicated when there is excessive irritability of body or mind; in mental derangement, when
the vascular system is much involved; when there is frenzy, attended
with congestion or inflammation of the brain. Especially when there
are paroxysms of great anxiety and mental depression. In hypochondria, when the patient imagines that various wonderful transformations have taken place in his internal or external organs.
Rtickert advises it when there is anxiety and fear of approaching
death; when the organ of caution is affected. Lombard thought it
affected the brain somewhat like Opium.
Teste commends Aconite in mental derangement of recent date,
caused by fright, and in the delirium which precedes or accompanies
certain acute fevers.
Fleming used Aconite internally in fifteen cases of headache, with
complete success in ten; of the successful cases, three were nervous,
four plethoric, and three rheumatic;' of the unsuccessful cases, three
were nervous, and two dyspeptic. Relief was usually experienced
after the first dose, and a complete cure effected on the first or second
day. Drs. Burgess and Radley have seen Aconite of incalculable
service in relieving the agonizing pain of nervous headache; Henderson and Miller have also used it with success. Strrck and Vogel
recommended it in rheumatic headache, and Copland has found it
useful in both nervous and rheumatic cases. It is often more useful
when applied externally than when taken internally.
It is homoeopathic to the most violent headaches, when the patient
lies as if unconscious, retches to vomit, thinks he must die, cannot
endure the slightest noise or mation, and in which the face is pale,
and the pulse small and intermitting. Also, in hemicrania, when
there is a violent pain over the left eye, attended with nausea and
vomiting. In severe rheumatic headaches, when attended with pains
in the fibrous sheaths of the nerves, in the fibrous membranes of the
brain and scalp. In venous congestive headaches, with excessive
numbness and tingling in various parts. It is antipathic to arterial
congestive and inflammatory headaches, and must then be given in
full doses.
In coma and applexy- it is homoeopathic to these disorders when

they arise from venous congestion or nervous exhaustion, and must
then be given in very small doses; when they depend upon active
arterial congestion the dose must be comparatively largo.
Fleming says, the pupil in general is more or less contracted, dilating to its natural size immediately on the cessation of respiration;
it is owing to venous congestion. Its sympathetic action on the retina
is remarkable: when applied to one of the temples, or one side of
the forehead, more or less blindness of the same side is produced.
When the conjunctiva is slightly painted with Aconitine, contraction of the pupil speedily takes place and continues for several hours.
-Pereira has observed it to cause contraction of the pupil in some
amaurotic cases of several years' standing, and where the iris underwent no change on exposure to strong light-when the ointment of
the alkaloid, or the tincture of the root is applied to the temple or
forehead, the pupil occasionally becomes dilated. Fleming has only
witnessed this in two cases, in both of which it was attended with
partial blindness of the same eye; why such opposite effects should
ensue in the two cases it is difficult to understand. Giddiness, with
confusion of sight. Headache, vertigo, with dimness of vision. Con
traction of the pupil, disappearing after the jugular vein is opened.
In four cases, Fleming saw dilatation of the pupil accompanied by
almost total blindness-either paralysis of retina, or of iris. Aconitine applied to the eye-ball of a rabbit-in three minutes the pupil
began to contract; in five minutes it was scarcely one-sixth of the
size of that of the other eye; when the contraction was extreme the
pupil was insensible to light, but when only partial it still retained
its mobility; the contraction continued for nine hours. Slight giddi.
ness and dimness of vision are very common effects; dull, heavy
pain in the eye-balls; dimness of vision and profuse secretion of tears;
pain and watering of the eyes, without vascularity; black specks
floating in the field of vision, dazzling and dimness of vision; from
ten drops of the root, general trembling, violent headache, pain of
the eye-balls, constant lachrymation and intense photophobia, vascularity of conjunctiva not increased, eyes fixed and protruded, pupils
contracted. Noack advises it in ophthalmia of a catarrhal or rheu
matic nature, especially when chemosis, or great redness and swelling
around the cornea has taken place. Heat and burning in the eyes,
especially the left; great photophobia, inflammation, and lachrymation
of the eyes, with such severe pain that the patient wished to die,

A very deaf old lady was almast cured of her deafness by an accidental over-dose of Aconite. In cases of severe earache and inflammation of the ear, I have been in the habit of putting in a small
quantity of the root of Aconite.-J. C. P.
It is a very useful remedy'in the epistaxis of young and plethoric

It hla's been used spiccessfully in many cases of neuralgia of the
face. Thus, it cured one ease of tic-doloureux, of eight years' standing,

standing, in six days;: one application of the tincture of the root, externally, cured one case each of neuralgia, supra- and infra-orbitalis;
one case of infra-orbi~tal neuralgia, of five years' standing, was cured by
the external use of Aconitine in fifteen days; one case of supra-orbital
neuralgia, of four years' standing, by the internal use of the alkaloid, in
six days; a nine months' infra-orbital neuralgia, by external application of' the tincture, in nine days; a seven months' neuralgia, inframaxillary, by the tincture, internally and externally, in thirteen days;
a two months' neuralgia-frontalis, by the external use o~f the tincture,
in three days; a tic-doloureux, of several years' standing, affecting
the whole left side of the face, was only temporarily relieved after
each application of the tincture; a neuralgia occipito-cervicalis, of
several months' duration, was cured in four days; another, of several
years' duration, was only relieved for several hours after each application; a hemierania, of three weeks' duration, was cured in five days;
another, of seven days' standing, was cured by two applications; and
one of' three days, by three applications.-In all cases of neuralgia it
is said to be better to commence the treatment by external applications; but, if it be caused by inflammatlion, cither in the painful parts
or in the nerve farther up in its course, or should it be traceable to
sympathetic irritation, the internal- use of the remedy will probably
have to be resorted to; if the neuralgia arises from some local irrita,

probably be sufficient.-J. C. P.
Dr. Fleming employed it in forty cases, by rubbing the gum with
a few drops of the tincture of the root, or by introducing a bit of cot.
ton, with a drop or two of the tincture, into the carious tooth. In
seven of these cases it failed; in six, it relieved only for a short time,
and in the remaining twenty-seven it afforded complete and permanent relief. I have used Aconite in this way for seven or eight years,
with almost invariable success.-J. C. P.
It is a valuable local application in painful affections of the tongue,
especially in cancer; it should never, however, be applied to any
open sore.
Noack advises it only in slight catarrhal inflammation of the tonsils, palate, and pharynx, but I have used the tincture of the root
successfully in the severest attacks of quinsy, and found it more
beneficial than Belladonna; it is especially indicated in rheumatism
of 'the muscles of the throat, in which there is intense pain on swallowing, and but little redness or swelling of the mucous membrane.
It has been used successfully in many cases of chronic pharyngitis.
I often apply the tincture of the root externally to the neck with
much benefit. Professor Dumas, depending upon the intimate sympathy between the throat and womb in women, and knowing the
specific impression which Aconite makes upon the throat, was led to
use it in uterine pains; when the throat became affected the uterus
was relieved.-J. C. P.
It is homoeopathic to want of appetite, from excessive debility or a
piralytic state of the digestive orgaus; also to well-marked bilious
derangementNoack advises it in the vomitings of pregnant or hysteric females;
when there is vomiting of blood or worms; also in cramps and inflammation of the stomach. I have found the external application of the
tincture of the root very useful in many painful and inflammatory
affections of the saomach.-J. C. P.
Noack recommends it in disphragmitis; in peritonitis, even the
puerperal variety; in colic, from taking cold; enteritis, inflammations
of both the large and small bowels, when attended with piercing,
cutting, burning, and rendering pains, with extreme sensitiveness of
the abdomen to touch; it is said to have proven useful even when
faeaal vomiting, great anxiety, and coldness of the legs have set in, and
in strangulated hernia. I have been in the habit of depending upon
a lavish external use of the tin--urc of the root in ail the above affections. The relief in puerperal peritonitis is extraordinary; I have

almost ceased to regard peritonitis and enteritis as formidable affec
tions, provided Aconite can be applied externally, both early and
abundantly enough. Aconite certainly seems to exert a very powerful action over the liver; it is homoeopathic to venous congestion of
the liver, and general plethora-abdominalis; to ascites, from disease
of the liver, even from granulated liver; also to fully-developed
jaundice. The external use of the tincture should not be forgotten.
Professor Fouquier has used it, with some success, as a diuretic in
passive dropsies. De Candolle says it is a domestic remedy among
the Alp people in dropsy.-J. C. P.
In Dysentery.-Marbot, surgeon-major of the " Crocodile," man-ofwar, treated three hundred cases of inflammatory dysentery with
Aconite: there was intense fever; hard, contracted, rapid pulse; violent headache; a dry and bitter mouth, although the tongue was flattened and not much loaded; tenderness of the abdomen, colic, distressing pulsation in the right hypochondrium, and tenesmus. The
effects of the Aconite quite surpassed his expectations, for the inflammatory symptoms subsided in less than a day, and the blood disappeared from the stools in a few hours; he always found it to abate
the hlemorrhage and lessen the fever, the pain in the belly also becoming relieved, and the stools passing easier, even a few hours after
the first dose. But the Aconite exerted no other effects upon the
stools than removing the blood from them, their mucous and glairy
characters continuing as before, and even their number not undergoing a diminution proportionate to the improvement of the other symptoms; it would seem to exert a very feeble action on the intestinal
contractions, but promptly subdues the febrile action and the excitement produced in the various organs. Aconite does not cure the
dysentery, but so modifies its nature as to render it amenable to
treatment that proved useless before. After Aconite, Ipecac. came
in play; Mercury was given when the liver and pancreas were disordoered, the stools being green, opaque, or foamy and muco-purulent.
He did not lose one case out of three hundred. It renders the
evacuations in inflammatory dysentery and diarrhoea less irritating,
and removes the fever.-J. C. P.
In simple inflammatory, catarrhal, and spasmodic croups, I have
been in the habit of relying almost exclusively upon tincture of Aconite
root and Tartar-emetic, in alternation; and, I may say, always with
success, and that right promptly. It is a great waste of time, how.
ever, to use these remedies in true membranous croup: Bromine, Ammon.-caust., lod., Mere., or Bichrom.-pot., are there required.-J. C. P.
Borda recommends it in pneumonia, after the first violence of the

tion, great irritability of the lungs, and an erethistic state remains.
Busch and Beaumes advise it in pulmonary consumption, during the
erethistic inflammatory stage, with flying stitches of pain in the chest
and feverishness; also when the tubercles are softening and the sputa
are fetid and of bad character. Kindervater, of Hanover, has depended upon it for twenty years in the cure of all acute internal rheumatic inflammations, i. e., all those that are caused by taking cold, such
as rheumatic pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis, peritonitis, acute arthritis, &c. The above are all allopathic authorities; another, Dr.
Routh (see London Lancet, Aug., 1855), says, the first indication in
pneumonia is to diminish the general fever and the increased pulmonary respiration; these can be effected by the tincture of the root of
Aconite, on the action of which, in small and repeated doses, he dwells
at length, and especially in reference to its certainty of action and
utility as compared with the ordinary tincture.-J. C. P.
In lumbago, Fleming used Aconite in ten cases, and in each a complete cure was effected; it was used internally and externally, and
relief was felt speedily in every case. It seems homoeopathic to
spinal irritation.
Vogt says, after great restlessness, Aconite causes relaxation, diminution of heart and pulse-beats, head becoming confused, often very
painful, the face more puffed-up and livid, pains set in in the limbs,
especially so-called bone-pains, and pains in the joints, until, under
profusely out-breaking sweat and increased flow of urine, the symptoms generally disappear. It seems not only to produce the pains,
but also the crises, by sweat and urine, of rheumatism.-J. C. P.
J. A. Schmidt has advanced the conjecture that it acts prominently
upon the fibrous tissues, external skin, and pulmonary mucous membrane-far less upon the lymphatic system and glands. Vogt thinks
this notion is not far from the truth, if we call to mind the pains in
the bones and joints, the sweat, itching, and springing up of vesicles
'like rheumatic miliaria?); in further corroboration, he adds, that the
observations of the'best practitioners have found it more serviceable
in diseases of the fibrous tissues, and even Storek admits that it is far
less serviceable in glandular affections than Conium, although it is a
much more acrid and energetic drug.-J. C. P.
Sobernheim   says it causes painful sensations in the joints ana
hones, which disappear after the breaking out of a profuse sweat and
abundant secretion of urine, and adds that it differs from Conium by
its more prominent action on the fibrous system  and external skin
whence arise the bone and joint-pains.

71


Harnisch says it causes pain, fullness, and trembling of the limbs,
especially of the lower extremities, and the patient at the same time
often suffers from the most violent pains in the bones and joints.
Kuttner says, general painfulness of all the joints not unfreuently
arises after large doses of Aconite.
Harnisch adds that the skin-eruptions, profuse sweats, also the
pains in the joints, limbs, and bones, all prove the peculiar action of
Aconite upon the skin and fibrous tissues, which is to increase the
activity of them. Harnisch thinks it is to be doubted whether the
good effects of Aconite against rheumatic and gouty joint-, limb-, and
bone-pains depend upon its homceopathic power (which it certainly
possesses) of causing similar effects on the healthy; the violent pains,
which it causes in the bones, limbs, and joints, prove the peculiar
action of it upon those parts, and depend partly upon an inflammatory-like irritation, and in part upon a purely nervous affection; hence,
he says, if this remedy cures these complaints according to the homoeopathic law, it should also, as it quickens the pulse and circulation, and causes febrile symptoms, cure acute rheumatism and febrile
gout.-J. 0. P.
There is a vast quantity of old-school testimony to the efficacy of
Aconite in rheumatism and similar affections. Noack and Trinks
say it is used in the old-school practice in rheumatic-spasmodic
asthma; in arthritic affections of the chest; in lumbago and ischias;
in stiffness of the limbs (rheumatic); in rheumatic swellings; in rheumatic swelling of the periosteum; in rheumatic swelling of the bones;
in local bone-pains; in mercurial disease, taking the form of rheumatism; in rheumatism; in wandering rheumatism; in rheumatism of the
joints; in gout, nodous gout, and gout with paralysis; in violent pains
in the limbs; in rheumatic metastases to internal parts.-In Germany,
it is regarded as the main remedy against chronic rheumatism. Of
fourteen recipes for Aconite, in Sobernheim's " Materia Medica,"
eleven are for rheumatism. Sobernheim says it is the main remedy
in rheumatic and gouty affections, partly chronic and inveterate, attended with abnormal metamorphoses, partly fixed and very painful,
and occurring in the form of joint-rheumatism and joint-gout; he
thinks it allays the pains by actively exciting the suppressed perspiration and causing profuse diaphoresis. Grefe, Schmidt, Rust, Lombard, Kopp, Brera, G. A. Richter, Stark, Hufeland, Stdrck, Barthez,
Scudamore, Vering, &c., all join in recommending it.-J. C. P.
Vogel advises it in atonic gout, and iv the head-gout which occurs
in the form of hemicrania, with predominant affection of the fibrous
dura-mater.

Greding recommends it in affections of the heart and chest, from
rheumatic and arthritic causes.
Kahleis, Davies, and Lombard, in rheumatism  of the heart and
affections of the fibrous portion of the pericardium.
Vogt says, in many instances, pretty rapid relief from pain has been
caused by it; but most of such cases seem to have been of rheumatic
or arthritic origin, and ceased when Aconite-perspiration set in.
Harnisch says it cures chronic rheumatic and arthritic inflammations of the stomach and bowels.
St6rck cured the most violent rheumatic pains, which do not allow
of the use of the arms and legs.
Thilenius says it relieves nocturnal syphilitic bone-pains far better
than Opium.
Stdrck thought that the syphilitic acridities, which attacked the
nerves and bones, and caused the pains, were solved by the Aconite,
broaght into the general circulation, and then cast out by the profuse
sweats and urinations which ensue under the use of it.-J. C. P.
The alcoholic extract of Aconite, according to Lombard, possesses
a specific curative power against acute joint-rheumatism; he says it
quickly relieves the pains, and rapidly promotes the absorption of the
effused synovial fluid from the affected joint; he used it exclusively
fnr two years in the Hospital at Geneva.
Kopp advises it in rheumatic pains with syphilitic basis.
Brera, in nocturnal syphilitic bone-pains.
Pereira says, as a topical remedy, it is most valuable for the relief
of neuralgic and rheumatic pains; in rheumatic pains, unaccompanied
with local swelling or redness, it is frequently of great service; in
painful conditions of the intercostal and other respiratory muscles,
occurring in rheumatic individuals, Pereira has found this remedy
most valuable. In acute rheumatism, it has not proved successful in
his hands, but he has been informed of cases occurring to others in
which it has been of great service; he adds, in rheumatism, it has
frequently proved serviceable when combined with a sudorific regi
men; and he has seen it give great relief to rheumatic pains. In
rheumatic hypertrophy of the heart, it has been recommended by
Lombard, of Geneva, on account of its decidedly sedative effects
vpon that organ.-J. C. P.
Pereira says the application of the tincture, as an embrocation, in
neuralgia and rheumatism is invaluable, and adds further: " Of the
great efficacy of Acomitina in neuralgic and rheumatic affections no
one can entertain a doubt who has submitted the remedy to a trial."
Vogt says it is among those remedies which onlv.cure after a pro

tracted use; it is praised with justice in old and atonic dyscrasias,
as the rheumatic, arthritic, psoric, and degenerate syphilitic; especially when these affections have attacked the periosteum, articular
apparatus, the muscular and tendinous sheaths or have lasted for a
long time, and are deeply seated. He says it is used in acute and
chronic rheumatism and chronic gout. In acute joint-rheumatism, he
says, Aconite is now admitted to be one of the most efficient remedies,
which most quickly relieves the pains, and even aids much in facilitating the absorption of the effusions about and in the joints, and
lessens the inflammation, especially when combined with Colchicum.
Not less great is its curative influence in chronic rheumatism, even
in those forms which are increased to the highest grade of neuralgia,
viz., in prosopalgia and ischias, in which Roche, Thealier, and others,
have praised it as almost a specific. Also in diseases of the fibrous
tissues and bones, viz., in tophi, dolores-osteocopi, &c., when dependent upon venereal, arthritic, rheumatic, or degenerate scrofulous dyscrasia, it, according to the most experienced practitioners,
effects more than any other narcotico-acrid remedy.-J. C. P.
It also caused dizziness, dimness of sight, and a great vivacity of
impressions, which the patient compared to the magic lantern, which
appeared to her as soon as she closed her eyes; also caused stiffness
of the diseased arm, dizziness, fanciful visions, sudden flushes of the
face, and a great liveliness of impressions, almost always accompanied with gay and pleasing thoughts (like Opium).
From the first day, the pains were much diminished, and each time
the dose was increased the pains were calmed in proportion. Finally, the LARGE articulations, such as the wrist, elbow, and shoulder,
were more promptly cured than those of the fingers, although the latter were first affected; perhaps, hence, were more fixed.  The eadema
followed the course of the pains, i. e., disappeared from around the
LARGE joints more rapidly than from the smaller.-J. C. P.
Lombard thinks Aconite possesses a specific virtue for the dispersion of rheumatic inflammations when seated in the joints. It does not
appear to destroy the principle of rheumatism, for this attacks other
joints while the patient is using it; hence, without exerting a preservative action, it cures rheumatism by neutralizing its morbid influence wherever it tends to fix itself. Patients have declared that
they have found a diminution of pain in the space of an hour, but
usually the sedative effect was only evident at the end of several
hours. The antiphlogistic action, which arrests the inflammation and
tumefaction, whether internal or external to the joint, is commonly
more slow; as twelve to twenty-four hours is the most common period
4

for this amelioration; sometimes, however, thirty-six to forty-eight
hours elapse.
Its influence extends to the synovial membranes, and contributes
powerfully to the absorption of the effusions which exist in almost all
cases of acute rheumatism. Its influence on the nervous system is
very remarkable: as soon as the doses are a little increased, there is
observed a certain excitement of the brain, characterized by nocturnal visions, by a peculiar gaiety, and a great vivacity of impressions;
the circulation of -the brain also appears to be modified in such a way as
to produce vertigoes; with dazzlings and flushes of heat in the face.
The digestive organs were but little or not at all affected. Appetite rereturns after the second or third day, and remain good. Some complain of a disagreeable mouth, and have a little whiteness of the
tongue. The stools were increased in frequency in one case only; but
not altered in quantity or quality. Hence Lombard was forced to consider that this remedy acts neither as a derivative nor a sudorific, but
as a specific remedy against rheumatic inflammations, one whose action is upon the fibrous and tendinous parts which surround the
joints, as well as upon the synovial membrane lining them.-J. C. P.
Dierbach classes Aconite among the diaphoretica-acrida in company with Ledum-palustris, Rhododendron-chrysanthum, Rhus-toxicodendron, Dulcamara, Pulsatilla-nigricantis, Chelidonium-majo.ris.
Lombard says St6rck, who first used this remedy in rheumatism,
thought he observed a sudorific virtue in it, and was struck with this
indication. However, in eight or ten cases of acute articular rheumatism, which Lombard treated with Aconite, there was but one
in which its use was followed by abundant perspiration; all the
other cures were obtained without any sudorific action, and even in
one case it ARRESTED copious sweatings which had lasted ffteen clays.
Vogt says, in small doses it frequently causes a great increase of
the secretions; but thinks this action is most marked upon the skin,
where, besides copious sweats, it often causes violent itching, and formication with springing up of vesicles.
Stbrck noticed its great affinity to the skin, especially when perspiration has been suppressed.-J. C. P.
Dierbach says, even in small doses it exerts a great influence upon
the skin; this Stbrck noticed in his experiments upon himself, ant
thence drew the conclusion that it might prove serviceable in rheu
matic and arthritic affections. The diaphoresis takes place under
violent itching, and in arthritic and rheumatic diseases not infre.
quently passes over into profuse sweats; which at times, however,
only show themselves on the most diseased parts, upon which red

75


vesicles (perhaps like rheumatic miliaria) or pustules, filled with watery
fluid, at times spring up. In some persons, it also excites an abundant
secretion of strongly saturated urine. Sobernheim thinks it acts especially upon the skin and uropoetic organs; causing increased and
altered urine, which is very much saturated and highly tinged.
Dupont has published a curious case of chronic general perspiration, which had lasted upwards of six years, and resisted all treatment, until extract of Aconite was given; at first, in one-half grain
doses, gradually increased until sixteen grains per day were taken.
(See " Wilson on the Skin," p. 272).-J. C. P.
Our experience has confirmed most of the above observations, with
the exception, perhaps, of croup. In angina-membranacea, or true
croup, the continued use of Aconite involves a vital loss of time:

3.-ACTEA RACEMOSA.
ACT.-RAC.-Cimicifuga Racemosa. Black Snake-root.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-Dr. Mears, who tried it upon himself,
reports a decided impression on the brain, evinced by a distressing
pain in the head, and giddiness; it also increased the force and fullness of the pulse, and produced a flushed condition of the face, fol.
lowed by uneasiness in the stomach, and violent efforts to vomit.
Dr. Garden had previously mentioned this tendency to affect the
brain, which he compared to that of Digitalis; he also thinks that it
acts powerfully upon the secreting organs and absorbents, and, in
large doses, causes nausea, vertigo, anxiety, great restlessness, and
pains in the extremities.-J. C. P.
Chapman says, if given so as sensibly to affect the system, it causes




86


ACTEA RACEMOSA.


first: some nausea, greater freedom of expectoration, more or less
relaxation of the skin, with slight nervous tremors and some vertigo;
the pulse is apt to be considerably lowered, and to remain so for some
time. It has also been supposed to act specifically upon the uterus.
Dr. Hildreth, of Ohio, has found it, in large doses, to cause some
vertigo, impaired vision, nausea and vomiting and a reduction of the
force of the circulation.-J. C. P.
Dr. N. J. Davis, of New-York, has uniformly found it to lessen the
force and frequency of the pulse, to soothe pain, and allay irritability.
From experiments conducted by our friend Dr. Henry D. Paine, of
Albany, we find among the most prominent symptoms: Restlessness
early in the morning, continuing for a week. Disposition to perspire
at night, continuing for three weeks; these perspirations were irregular, usually occurring three or four times a week, about three,
A. M., commencing while asleep, and disappearing a few minutes after
waking; never profuse. During the first week, the surface was cold
with the perspiration, but, during the last ten days, the perspiration
was attended by heat rather than coldness. Pain in the eye-balls
was one of the most constant symptoms: it was an aching pain,
situated in the centre of both eye-balls, rarely in one alone; it continued about three weeks after leaving off the drug. Another wellmarked effect was anorexia, lasting for two weeks; a sensation of
faintness in the epigastrium was also an important symptom, usually
experienced in the morning, before eating; it did not entirely prevent eating, which was followed by a sense of repletion, as if too much
food had been taken. The bowels regular at first, were followed by
alternate constipation and tendency to diarrhoea. Symptoms of catarrhal fever were supposed to be among the most common effects of the
remedy-viz., pain in the head, coryza, sore throat, dry, short, and
hacking cough, continuing night and day, for two weeks.-J. C. P.
Wood and Bache think that it stimulates the secretions of the skin,
kidneys, and pulmonary mucous membrane. From Dr. Paine's experiments, it would seem to cause perspiration and eruptions upon
the skin; also frequent urination, and increased flow of pale urine;
finally, it excites secretion from the nasal and bronchial mucous membranes. It is supposed, by some eminent physicians, to be a good
substitute for Ergot in parturition, although it acts in quite a different
way-viz., by relaxing the parts, thereby rendering labor short and
easy. Its action in rheumatism is said closely to resemble that of
Colchicum.-J. C. P.
NERVOUS SYSTEM.-It undoubtedly exercises considerable in.
fluence over the nervous system, probably of a sedative character:




ACTEA RACEMOSA.


87


but this power is shown rather in morbid states of the system
than in health. Very large quantities cause no alarming effects. It
is said to soothe pain and allay irritability.-J. C. P.
1. Nerves of Sensation.-Its effects upon these nerves seem to be
secondary to its action on the vascular system.
2. Nerves of Motion.-It appears to exert a peculiar and specifio
action upon some of the diseases of the nerves of motion, especially
in chorea, more especially when a rheumatic irritation falls upon the
motor nerves and the muscles, and causes St. Vitus' dance.
Dr. Davis says we cannot doubt its efficacy in chorea, in all
cases arising from undue irritability or mobility of the nervous system, especially when induced by exposure to cold; in short, when
chorea arises from a rheumatic irritation of the motor nerves and
muscles, or of the anterior column of the spinal marrow.--J. C. P.
Drs. Garden and Chapman say that, in large doses, it causes anxiety,
great restlessness, slight nervous tremors, and pains in the extremities. As it requires large quantities to produce these effects, it may
be possible that large doses only are homceopathic to chorea.
VASCULAR SYSTEM.-Dr. Davis has never known it to produce a perceptible increase of any of the secretions; nor thinks it has the slightest stimulating powers. He has uniformly found it to lessen the force
and frequency of the pulse, to soothe pain, and allay irritability. In
a word, he regards it as one of the most purely sedative agents we
possess, and asserts it causes a depression of the pulse, which remains
for a considerable time. In acute rheumatism, the only visible effects
of the Actea are: Diminution of the force and frequency of the
pulse; disappearance of the arthritic pains and inflammation, with
occasional vertigo, or disposition to fall on attempting to assume the
erect attitude. Hence it seems to exert a decidedly depressing and
sedative effect upon the vascular system.-J. C. P.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It has proved curative in dyspepsia of
several months' standing, with severe pain in the forehead, over the
right eye, and extending to the temple and vertex, with fullness, heat,
and throbbing; and, when going up-stairs, a sensation as if the top of
the head would fly off; coldness and chills, particularly of the arms
and feet; faintness in the epigastrium; pain and regurgitation of food
after eating. Also to various neuralgic pains incident to the critical
period of life, and severe pains in the head, particularly in the forehead
and eye-balls. Also to dull pain in the head, fullness in the forehead
an.d eyes, pain in the eye-balls, increased secretion of tears; fluent
watery coryza, frequent sneezing; soreness in the throat, causing difficulty in swallowing; cough, particularly at night, caused by tickling




88


ACTEA RACEMOSA.


in the throat.-PAINE. Dr. Davis says it will relieve many cases of
severe headache, from simple irritation of the brain, in delicate females. It has cured ophthalmia, with pain in the eye-balls, a sensation as if they were enlarged, most severe in the morning; prickling
in the inner canthus, aggravated by reading; inflammation of the
eye-lids; slight secretion of mucus only in the morning; sore throat;
headache caused by reading. It seems homceopathic to rheumatic and
catarrhal ophthalmia; it may prove useful in sclerotitis and iritis.
Some authors assert that they have never known it to produce a perceptible increase of any of the secretions; others say that it operates
powerfully upon the secreting organs and absorbents, and that it is
expectorant and diaphoretic. It certainly seems homoeopathic to catarrhal affections. It has cured chorea, when attended with almost
complete loss of.the power of swallowing. In the sore throat and
cynanche-maligna, a decoction of the root is recommended by Dr.
Barton. It is an excellent remedy against dryness of the throat, or
a dry spot in the throat, causing cough; also in dry coughs proceeding from irritation and tickling at the lower part of the larynx. It
is peculiarly homoeopathic to a faint and sinking feeling at the pit of
the stomach. It has been supposed, by some eminent physicians, to
be a good substitute for Ergot in parturition: being dissimilar, however, in its mode of action, relaxing the parts, and thereby rendering
labor short and easy. Hence it is useful where there is great rigidity
of the soft parts, such as occurs in females who have their first chil.
dren late; or in those who are remarkably firm and muscular, or in
whom the os-uteri dilates slowly, from great muscular resistance and
rigidity. In cases of parturition where the vagina is dry, and the os
is rigid, this remedy will do good service. It facilitates labor, by
rousing into increased action the mucous membrane, and thus supplying the parts with a lubrication. In domestic practice, it is occasionally employed to produce abortions, and in a few instances with
success. In these cases a decoction of the root is used.-Chas. Sumner, M. D., while attempting to obtain provings of Actea-racemosa,
did not observe any decided symptoms from the medicine, yet was
relieved of a very troublesome hacking cough, of some months' standing. Dr. Garden thought highly of it in consumption. In some
parts of the country it has become a very popular remedy for coughs.
Dr. Wheeler has found it useful in several cases of severe and protracted cough, especially in the chronic cough or bronchitis of old
people. Dr. Hildreth advises it in acute phthisis or gallapping consumption; he has often seen the most prompt relief from the decoction alone against the febrile excitement or hectic paroxysms; also in




ACTEA RACEMOSA.


89


allaying the cough, reducing the rapidity and force of the pulse, and
promoting gentle perspirations; he has often seen the same happy
influence exerted against those intercurrent congestions and inflam.
mations so frequent in the second and third stages of consumption,
especially when caused by taking cold. Actea is a useful remedy in
rheumatic inflammations of the lungs, and especially in that form of
consumption which arises without any especial hereditary tendency,
from carelessness and exposure to cold and wet. Dr. Garden used it
successfully for twenty years. He says, shortly after commencing its
use, the h"-.ic paroxysms are entirely checked, the night-sweats begin to diminish, the purulent expectoration is speedily improved, the
cough becomes less troublesome and frequent, the pulse falls from
120 or 130 to the natural standard, the pain in the breast and sides
abate, strength and appetite improves. It is supposed to possess tho
peculiar power, in an eminent degree, of lessening arterial action,
and, at the same time, imparting tone and energy to the system.
The efficacy of Actea in chorea has already been dwelt upon. The
evidence of a favorable influence over rheumatism, is of a decided
character. Very many cases, including the severest forms of acute
inflammatory rheumatism, have been treated with results satisfactory
in the highest degree: every vestige of the disease disappearing in
from two to eight or ten days, without inducing any sensible evacuation, or leaving behind a single bad symptom. It is particularly useful in the early and severe stages of acute rheumatism.. It is comparatively of little use in sub-acute and chronic rheumatism; the more
icute the disease, the more prompt and decided will be the action of
-the remedy. In large doses, it causes vertigo, dimness of vision, and
a depression of the pulse, which remains for some ti-me. It seems
somewhat homoeopathic to rheumatism, or at least to rheumatic pains,
as it caused in one case, that of Dr. Jesse Young, an uneasy feeling,
almost amounting to an ache, through all the limbs, occurring after
each dose, and lasting for three or four hours; while Dr. Garden
says it causes great restlessness and pains in the limbs. Still it requires large doses to cause these effects. A strong decoction is said
to be an effectual remedy for scabies.-J. C. P.

CLINICAL REMARKS.-RMickert advises it in prosopalgia, and
in certain rheumatic and neuralgic affections of the face and head.
A girl, twenty years of age, had a chill, and was speedily attacked
with a violent pain, which commenced in a carious tooth of the upper
jaw. This pain was pulling and tearing in its character, and extended to the zygomatic bone, and to the temples, and was increased
by the lightest touch, or any movement of the facial muscles. Three
globules of Actea removed this pain in a few hours. Dr. Roth has
given this medicine, with advantage, in cancer of the stomach. It
is particularly useful when there is much tearing and darting pain
in the epigastric region, accompanied with vomiting. Dr. Roth

commends Actea in acute and chronic hepatitis. Riickert has also
employed it successfully in hepatic affections. In constipation,
from a lack of bile in the intestinal canal, Dr. Lemercier has found
this medicine quite serviceable. Dr. Roth has employed Actea
with considerable benefit in calculous affections of the kidneys. It
is especially appropriate in those cases which occur in individuals
of gouty diathesis. A woman, forty years old, subject to rheumatic
affections and hamorrhoids, had been attacked, apparently in consequence of a chill, with severe pains in the articulations of the
hands and thumbs, accompanied with swelling. The least movement rendered the pains insupportable. Three globules of Actea,
thirtieth, produced a decided amelioration in a short time. A second
dose, three days afterwards, effected a perfect cure. In rheumatic
affections of the large articulations, this is a remedy of considerable
value. It has proved most beneficial in cases accompanied by
biliary derangement, and is appropriate in both the acute and subacute varieties. Golden advises a dilution of Actea for weak and
nervous patients, who are troubled with frequent cold sweats after
slight exertions of mind or body. It is also homoeopathic to suppressed perspiration, especially when occurring in rheumatic subjects.

especially when in the open air. Its action is most decided in afections of the parenchymatous organs, the seat of old inflammations,
or of active sanguineous congestions. This medicine is especially suitable to men. The characteristic symptoms are weakness and tingling.
This proving seems singularly trivial, and gives but little idea of
the spirit of the remedy.

Mr. Taylor, of London, and others. The treatment has been further
tested by Professor Ebers, of Berlin, who treated twenty-two cases,
eleven of which presented one or more of the severe complications,
and of whom six died. Of the twenty-two, the inunction with Lard
was tried in thirteen cases, and the ordinary remedies in nine; of
the latter, five died; of the former, only one was fatal, and this was
beyond hope when the treatment was commenced; the remainder recovered. Prof. Ebers concludes that the inunction with Lard does
not interfere with the development of the eruption; for this comes
out on the third day, and declines on the fourth or fifth. The complications of the disease disappear more favorably than under the
ordinary treatment. No desquamation or anasarca ever follows the
use of Lard. The inunction seems to destroy the contagious principle. The Lard requires to be diligently rubbed in, over tho whole
surface of the body, every morning and evening. Mauthner treated
his own daughter, aged fifteen, successfully with it.-J. C. P.
In Measles, the Exanthemata generally, and in Inflammatory and
Typhus Fevers.-In these diseases, inunction with Lard is strongly
advised by Mr. Taylor. He relates numerous instances in which inunction with an ointment, composed of equal parts of Lard and Suet,
was attended with the best effects; no internal remedies were employed. He states that it reduces the force and frequency of the
pulse, and, when employed at an early period of the disease, that it
wards off a typhoid condition. The dry and brown tongue becomes
clear, the patient falls into a sound sleep, and delirium subsides; in
fact, all the symptoms improve, with a steadiness and rapidity not
seen in other methods of treating fevers.-J. C. P.
In Erysipelas.-Erasmus Wilson considers that inunction with
Lard is in every way superior to all fluid applications. He at first,
on the suggestion of Mr. Grantham, relaxes the skin with hot water
or steam, and then saturates the surface with hot Lard, which is afterwards covered with wool. He also speaks highly of the value of
Lard inunctions in the treatment of violent sprains. Mauthner also
uses it in burns and erysipelas.
In Itch.-Professor Bennett used Lard inunction in four cases of
itch, and in each a cure was speedily effected. From these and other
cases, he infers that the efficacy of Sulphur ointment mainly depends
on the unctuous matter which it contains. It is of importance that
the parts should be kept moist, and for this purpose oil-silk, so as to
completely envelop the parts, should be used. The same treatment
has been found successful by Mr. Bazin, who found that six frictions
during threedays, were sufficient to effect a cure of itch.--J. C. P.

In Consumption.-In Frank's Magazine, about twenty cases of
consumption, more or less successfully treated with Lard inunctions,
are reported; the hectic fever and sweats soon abated, and all the
patients improved in flesh and strength. It may be tried in cases in
which Cod-liver oil cannot be used internally.!-J, C. P.
In Profuse Sweats.-Several cases are reported in which it removed profuse and debilitating perspirations in non-tuberculous
persons. In scrofula, it has also been used successfully.-In all

This plant has received the common name of Fool's Parsley, from

RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. N.erves
of Motion.-According to Christison, it is more apt to cause convulsions than any other Hemlock. It is homceopathic to violent epileptic
cramps-, with turning in of the thumbs, redness of the face, convulsive movements of the eyes, which are turned down spasmodically;
very great dilatation of the pupils; frothing at the mouth  clenching
of the teeth; small, hard, and quick pulse, with natural warmth of
the body, or coldness of the extremities. From its marked action
on the stomach, bowels, and liver, it would seem most homceopathic
to the abdominal or ganglionic epilepsy of Schoenlein. In this disease, the patient first 'experiences, from time to time, a gnawing,
contracting, burning, or piercing pain in the region of the navel, corresponding to the superior or inferior mesenteric plexus of nerves;
this pain may subside on the setting in of a feeling as if a vapor or a
hot flame passed over the part. The aura may ascend to the stomach,
followed by a feeling of spasm there, and by vomiting of an albuminous fluid; or it may extend from the stomach towards the right hy.
pochondrium, followed by slight and transient signs of jaundice, such
as yellowness of the whites of the eyes, yellowness of the face and
tongue, &c.; or it may progress at once towards the brain, and an

actual paroxysm of epilepsy may promptly occur. Abdominal epilepsy
is said to happen most frequently between the seventh and eleventh
years of life; it is four times more frequent in males than females;
the attacko are more common towards the full of the moon, after
which they lessen, and towards the last quarter they are entirely absent.-J. C. P.
If.lEthusa Le homoeopathic to epilepsy, it ought to be antipathic to
paralysis; yet Noack has recommended it in paraplegia inferior. It
causes great debility, lassitude, and tiredness, especially in the legs,
attended with drowsiness; also, paralytic pain in the left shoulder;
sudden lassitude of the fore-arms while knitting; weakness of the
right wrist; paralype pains in the thighs while sitting, disappearing
after motion; great lassitude of the legs. These are all symptoms
which point to great debility, and, perhaps, to approaching paralysis;
but, as JEthusa is pi eminently a convulsive remedy, it must be antipathic to paralysis, except when it occurs in consequence of the exhaustion which succeeds previous convulsive action.-J. C. P.
Nerves of Sensation.-It is supposed to act much less specifically
upon these than upon the nerves of motion; in fact, most of the
2Ethusa-pains are rending and piercing, such as occur in muscular
or fibrous strictures, and are comparable to rheumatic or muscular
contractive pains, like labor-pains. Thus, it is homeodpathic to rending and piercing pains in the muscles; in the head, especially in the
temples, mostly in the afternoon; in the ears; zygoma; in the gums;
in the epigastrium, extending up to the cesophagus; in the lumbar
and hypochondriac regions; in the nape; in the elbow, hand, and
finger-joints; in the thighs, knees, and feet.-J. C. P.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM.-Any remedy which acts specifically upon the
nerves of motion, almost necessarily acts equally specifically upon the
muscles. It may prove homoeopathic to the convulsions which attend
Bright's disease.-J. C. P.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. Fever.-Chill in the room; chill after having walked in the open air. General coldness. Internal coldness.
Coldness of the whole body, accompanied by somnolence; coldness
of the whole body, perceptible to the touch, without thirst, for two
days. Redness of the face during the coldness. Horripilation, with

and jactitation during the horripilation. General heat. Complete
absence of thirst, notwithstanding the great general heat. General

great malaise and disposition to delirium, which go off during the
sweat.-J. C. P.
Abdominal Typhus.-It causes blackness and dryness of the
tongue, buzzing in the ears, and severe purging of light yellow bilious
matters; these symptoms probably led Noack to suggest its use in
typhoid fever. The stools in typhoid fever are for the most part
loose and frequent, and either of a dark color and offensive, or else
thin, yellow, and ochry, somewhat like poa-soup. But the most essential part in typhoid fever is the peculiar change in the blood;
this consists in a diminution of the fibrin and an increase of the carbonated salts, especially of carbonate of soda. Numerous experiments have shown that, in animals which have for a long time been
submitted to the excessive use of alkalies, the blood becomes destitute of fibrin, and rich in the carbonated alkalies; hence the alkalies
are homeopathic to typhoid fever, and the acids antipathic. It is not
known whether JEthusa, Rhus, Belladonna, &c., also produce a change
in the blood similar to that which occurs in typhoid fever.-J. C. P.
GLANDULAR SYSTEM.-Roth says it is homoeopathic to swelling of
the lymphatic glands of the neck; also of the axillary glands. It
may prove homoeopathic to some scrofulous affections, as it is found
to produce tumefaction of the meibomian glands, chronic, photophobia, stoppage of the nose with thick mucus, yellowish discharge from
the ears, herpetic excoriations of the thighs, great debility, emaciation, profuse perspiration from the least exertion, and general dropsy.
-J. C. P.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-Roth says it is homoeopathic and curative against: tumefaction of the meibomian glands; chronic' inflammation of the edges of the lids; sticking together of the eye-lids in
the morning; pustules on the cornea; commencing amaurosis; and
chronic photophobia. HIe also says it is homoeopathic to a yellowish discharge from the earm.-This remedy is one of the most homoeopathic

of bile, sufficient to stain the whole liver, duodenum, and part of the
colon and omcntum with yellow bile: it is also homoeopathic to pain
and tenderness in the region cf the liver. According to Corrigan,
the first stage of granular liver is marked by colic-pains, generally
felt about four or six hours after dinner, quick pulse, vomiting, and
constipation, or the stools may be loaded with mucus, and sometimes
tinged with blood. As the disease advances, the fits of colic occur
more frequently, the vomiting becomes more intense, the skin dry,
the pulse quicker, the tongue red and smooth; in most cases there is
pain at the top of the right shoulder, and in all a degree of jaundice,
very slight at first, but progressing gradually, and sufficiently distinct, if the conjunctiva be examined. There is also some slight pain
in the region of the liver and duodenum. It is very evident that
JEthusa is homoeopathic to this train of symptoms. It is homoeopathic to cholera-infantum; to bilious diarrhoea and dysentery; to the
diarrhoea of teething children, when attended with acidity of the
stomach and decided bilious derangement. It promises to prove homoeopathic to Bright's disease; it is homoeopathic to odema of the
face, and to the diarrhoea and vomiting which so frequently attends
this affection. Noack recommends it in paraplegia; it is homoeopathic to great debility, lassitude, and tiredness, especially in the legs,
attended with drowsiness; paralytic pain in the left shoulder; sudden lassitude of the arms; weakness of the wrist; paralytic pain in
the thighs; great lassitude of the legs.-J. C. P.

RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-This species of mushroom derives its
name from killing flies, when dissolved in milk. It is highly narcotic, producing in small doses intoxication and delirium, for which
purpose it is used in Kamtschatka.
From the account of Dr. Langsdorf, it appears that the inhabitants
of the North-eastern part of Asia use this variety in the same manner
that wine, brandy, arrack, opium, &c., are used by other nations. The
fungi are collected in the hottest months, and hung up in the air by a
string to dry; some dry of themselves upon the ground, and are far
more narcotic. The usual mode of taking the fungus, is to roll it up
like a bolus, and swallow it without chewing; which the Kamtschatdales say would disorder the stomach. One large, or two small fungi is
a common dose to produce a pleasant intoxication for a whole day, particularly if water be drunk after it, which augments the narcotic principle. The desired effect comes on from one to two hours after taking
the fungus. Giddiness and drunkenness result in the same manner
as from wine or spirits; cheerful emotions of the mind are first pro.
duced, involuntary words and actions follow, and sometimes, at last,
an entire loss of consciousness. It renders some remarkably active,

and proves highly stimulant to muscular exertion; by too large a dose,
violent spasmodic effects are produced. So very exciting to the nervous system, in many individuals, is this fungus, that the effects are
often very ludicrous; a person under its influence wishing to step
over a straw, takes a stride, or a jump sufficient to clear the trunk of
a tree; a talkative person cannot keep silence or secrets; and one
fond of music is perpetually singing.-J. C. P.
The most singular effect of the Amanita is the influence it possesses
over the urine. It is said that from time immemorial the Kamtschatdales have known that the fungus imparts an intoxicating quality to
that secretion, which continues for a considerable time after taking it.
For instance, a man moderately intoxicated to-day, will, by the next
morning, have slept himself sober; but (as is the custom) by taking
a teacupful of his urine, he will be more powerfully intoxicated than
he was the preceding day. It is, therefore, not uncommon for confirmed drunkards to preserve their urine as precious liquor, against
a scarcity of the fungus. This intoxicating property of the urine is
capable of being propagated; for every one who partakes of this intoxicating urine has his own urine similarly affected. Thus, with a
very few Amanite, a party of drunkards may keep up their debauche
for a week. Dr. Langsdorff mentions, that by means of the second person taking the urine of the first, the third that of the second, and so on,
the intoxication may be propagated through five individuals.-J. C. P.
The effects of this active principle of this and other fungi, viz.,
Amanatine, appear to resemble considerably those of Opium.
It promises to prove homoeopathic to delirium tremens. It was
supposed that the Northern hordes, when they invaded the South of
Europe, were aided in their victories by its exciting effects.
Several French soldiers in Russia ate a large quantity of the Agaricus-muscarius, which they had mistaken for Agaricus-caserca. Some
were not taken ill for six hours and upwards. Four of them, who
were very powerful men, thought themselves safe, because, while their
companions were already suffering, they themselves felt perfectly
well; and they refused to take emetics. In the evening, however,
they began to complain of anxiety, a sense of suffocation, frequent
fainting, burning thirst, and violent gripes. The pulse became small
and irregular, and the body bedewed with cold sweat; the lineaments
of the countenance were singularly changed, the nose and lips acquiring a violet tint; they trembled much; the body swelled; and a

livid, and the pain of the abdomen intense; delirium ensued, and all
four died. Several of their comrades were severely affected, but re

rally observed.
PATHOLOGY.-Skin yellow; round pale-red spots upon the body
pupils natural; abdomen somewhat distended; mucous and bloody
froth from the mouth; vessels of the scalp congested; all the vessels
of the brain filled with dissolved, dark-red blood; dura-mater and
arachnoid quite red; the blood-vessels which penetrate between
the convolutions of the brain, enormously distended with blood; the
cortical substance of the brain much reddened, and the medullary
substance marked with numerous bloody points, from the size of a
pin's head to that of a pea; one teaspoonful of bloody serum in each
lateral ventricle; vessels at the base of the brain, especially the
circle of Willis, crowded with blood; tentorium-cerebelli covered
with a net-work of minute vessels; cerebellum unusually soft, with
an extravasation of blood of the size of a pea in its arbor-vitre.
Pleura, diaphragm, and pericardium much reddened. Lungs much
congested, blue and marbled, in a state of splenization, and crowded
with black blood. Heart filled with black fluid blood. Arch of the
aorta much reddened. Gall-bladder filled with much grass-green
fluid bile; pharynx, cesophagus, trachea, omentum, pancreas, peritoneum, external surface of the stomach, and small bowels, and the internal surface of the bladder much reddened, and all the blood.vessels filled with black fluid blood. Internal coat of the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, and colon of a scarlet-red color; brownish-red
appearance of the base of the stomach and pylorus; two large excoriations in the fundus of the stomach, and one in the duodenum;
contraction of the cardiac and pyloric orifices.-J. C. P.
ANTIDOTES.-It is well known that the noxious qualities of the
most virulent species of Agaricus are communicated to brine, vinegar, &c.; the olive-tree Agaric loses all its poisonous properties when
salted, and becomes eatable;' the pickle is thrown away. In fact,
two poisonous principles have been discovered in Agaricus, one of
which is so volatile that it is dispelled by heat, or the act of drying,
or by immersion in acids, alkalies, or alcohol; the other is more
fixed, and resists such processes. With the aid of these processes,
especially in Poland and Russia, even those kinds of mushrooms
which are elsewhere refused by common consent as poisonous, are
eaten with perfect impunity, being extensively dried or pickled in
salt or vinegar.




AGARICUS MUSCARIUS.


105


In poisoning with mushrooms, emetics and cathartics should be
used; as vinegar dissolves out all the noxious principle, it should be
avoided; the strength must be sustained by mild tonics and stimulants; Ether, and infusion of Galls are particularly recommended.
Teste asserts that Camphor and Nitric-acid are antidotes to this drug.
Mr. Gerard has recently shown, before. a committee of the Paris
Council of Health, that the poisonous mushrooms may be entirely
deprived of their deleterious properties by being simply macerated,
and then boiled in water to which a little vinegar has been added.
The poisonous principle is perfectly soluble in water, and is entirely
removed. It is not soluble in alcohol, except by virtue of the water
which it may contain. This furnishes an important hint for the pharmaceutical preparation of the Agaricus and other fungi, in which the
alcohol used should be as largely diluted with water as is consistent
with its. preserving powers.
ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Sensation.-It produces
excessive sensitiveness to all external impressions; great sensibility
of the skin, so that the slightest pressure produces intense and longcontinued pains.
Nerves of Motion.-It causes great liability to twitching of the
muscles, irregular convulsive movements, and desire to dance; also
a curious state of the nervous system, which becomes so acted upon
by mental emotions, or the exercise of the will, that muscular twitchings and convulsive movements are excited, a condition of body closely
resembling that of a patient suffering from chorea and hysteria.
It is asserted by some physiologists, that the principal office of the
cerebellum is to preside over and regulate the faculty of locomotion,
and Agaricus acts specifically upon the cerebellum.--J. C. P.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTE.M.--Like all the narcotic remedies, Aga.
ricus seems to act far more powerfully upon the venous than upon
the arterial system. It seems to prevent the arterialization of the
blood, and render it more venous. It is more homceopathic to venous
congestion than to inflammation.--J. C. P.
ON THE BLooD.-The body is in general livid, the blood.fluid, so
much so that it sometimes flows from the natural openings of the
body. All the vessels of the brain are filled with dissolved, dark-red
blood. Heart filled with black fluid blood; all the blood-vessels
filled with black fluid blood.
ON THE HEART.-Heart filled with black fluid blood. Pericar.
dium and arch of the aorta much reddened, i. e., stained with the
fluid blood.
ON THE PULSE.-In one case the pulse became small and irregi.

lar, and the body was bedewed with cold sweat; in another, the
pulse was weak. Pulse small and quick (80); or slow, feeble, unequal, intermitting or undulating.
FEVER.---Constant chilliness, with inability to get warm. Violent
shaking chills through the whole body, with normal temperature of
the face. Cold hands, without thirst and subsequent heat. Sensitiveness to cool air. General heat in the evening, with redness of the
cheeks, coldness of the hands, and thirst; general heat at night, intermingled with chilliness, followed by sweat; general heat in the
afternoon, with headache and thirst, followed by aggravation in the
evening, attended with hurried breathing and great languor.
SLEEP.-Irresistible drowsiness in the day-time. Drowsiness, especially after dinner; sleeplessness, on account of pain and uneasiness in the legs. Sleep disturbed by desire to urinate, with copious
flow of urine, spasmodic cough, or coldness in the legs. Sleep interrupted by a multitude of dreams with fitful fancies, partly pleasant,
partly unpleasant.
ON THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES.-Many Of the varieties of Agaricus
cause the secretion of large quantities of yelloeo mucus. Thus, in a
dog, poisoned with Agaricus-bulbosus, the stomach was found full of
a thick, yellow mucus; in another case, the whole intestinal canal
was filled with a thick, yellow mucus; a woman evacuated an abundance of yellow mucus.-J. C. P.
SIUN.-Itching, burning, and redness of various parts, as if frozen.
Miliary eruptions, close and whitish, with burning itching.
CLINIOAL REMARKS. IHAHNEMANN.-" Apelt has found this
drug serviceable in pains of the upper jaw-bone and the teeth; also
in pains of the bones of the lower extremities (as well as in the
marrow), and finally in itching eruptions of the skin, of the size of a
millet-seed, and thickly set together.-It has also been found useful
in lassitude consequent upon coition.-Whistling has cured with it
convulsions and tremor, and J. C. Bernhard even some kinds of epilepsy.-Dr. Woost has seen the effects of large doses of Agaricus
lasting for seven or eight weelks. Camphor is the chief antidote, even
against such affections consequent upon the use of Agaricus as have
assumed a chronic character."-HULL.
It seems to be homeopathic to a variety of nervous and hysterical
affections, especially to spinal irritation, and those affections of the
brain which simulate it.   Noack recommends it in mania-saltatoria, as it is homoeopathic to a state, in which the slightest exertion of the will produces the most violent effect upon the over-sensitive nerves and muscles, and call:: forth the most strange and almost

107


unimaginable motions of the limbs; inclination to dance; the most
curious motions of the hands; extraordinary agility of the limbs, and
extreme facility in the performance of the most fantastic motions.J. C. P.
In Chorea.-St. Vitus' dance has been denominated an insanity
of the muscles, and is very analogous to mania-saltatoria. Agaricus
is homoeopathic to trembling of the limbs, subsultus, slight jerks of
the muscles here and there; twisting about of the arms, persistent
convulsed state of the muscles of the head and neck. Agaricus
is only homoeopathic to the true nervous cerebral chorea, i. e.,
the most common form of it, or that which arises from a functional disease of the brain, and in which the convulsive movements
cease during sleep.  Nux and Ignatia are homoeopathic to spinal
chorea, in which the spasmodic action does not cease during sleep,
for the spinal cord does not sleep. Hydriodate of Potash, Iodine,
and Actea-racemosa are homoeopathic to rheumatic chorea, which is apt
to be attended with acute endocarditis or pericarditis. I have seen two
instances in which chorea was attended with acute rheumatic inflammation of some of the structures of the heart. Agaricus may also
prove homoeopathic to that most dangerous and almost always fatal
variety called electrical chorea, in which the convulsive movements
finally give way to coma, and the patient dies with apoplectic symptoms; venous congestion of the cerebral and spinal meninges appears
to be the only uniform abnormal condition observed in electrical
chorea.-J. C. P.
In Cranmps, Convulsions, and Epilepsy.-It has long ago been recommended, in the dominant school,.in epilepsy, especially in that
variety induced by fright (Vogt, Dierbach), and is said to form the
active part of Ragolo's secret remedy against this disease.-J. C. P.
This remedy has been employed empirically, for many centuries,
for the cure of epilepsy and chronic enlargement and induration of
the glands of the neck and throat. Teste considers its action to be
somewhat similar to Belladonna and Lachesis, and prescribes it
only after these remedies have failed. Agaricus ought to prove
curative in some cases of intermittent fever; it may also prove useful
in hectic fever, but its great affinity is for nervous fevers, typhusversatilis, and delirium tremens. It is one of the most homoeopathic
and useful remedies against frost-bites. It is one of the most homceo.
pathic remedies against acute delirium, mania, delirium tremens,
the delirium of typhus, &c.; it should be borne in mind when
Belladonna and other remedies fail. It is one of the most homnoeo,
pathic remedies against chronic dizziness resltinlg from frequent

intoxication, or habitual free use of strong liquors; in dizziness, from
congestion of the brain, with threatening of apoplexy, especially in
the studious, sluggish, or intemperate in eating and drinking. -
It is most homoeopathio to the headaches of persons subject to
nervous twitchings and St. Vitus' dance, or to spinal irritation,
with great soreness, uneasiness, and weakness down the spine, with
or without derangement or enlargement of the liver. Als.o in the
headaches of those who use wine and spirits too freely, or who become delirious whenever they are feverish or in pain, attended with
twitchings, startings, grimaces, and a state resembling pleasant
intoxication. According to Black, it is indicated in nervous and
congestive headaches, in which fullness, sleepiness, and frequent
inclination to yawn are present, attended with relaxation and soreness
of the whole body, pain in the back, and a feeling as if all the joints
were dislocated. Hence it would also seem suited to the headache
and general derangement which attends influenza. It is homcmopathic to congestion of the head, with pulsation in all the vessels, redness and heat of the face, and delirium. Also to catarrhal headache,
with aching in theforehead over the eyes, drawing pain in the forehead, extending to the root of the nose, rending pain in the forehead
above the root of the nose, as if the brain were lacerated, with burning pain in the nose and eyes, great dryness of the nose, profuse
epistaxis, and abundant discharge of thick, viscid, nasal mucus, followed by frequent dropping of water from the nose. I have used it
frequently and successfully against many varieties of headache in
nervous and. hysterical persons. It is homoeopathic to headaches
attended with or followed by great soreness or tenderness of the
scalp, and against chronic tenderness of the scalp, such as occurs
in persons with spinal irritation. It is homceopathic to spasmodic
twitching of the eye-lids and winking, such as occurs in nervous, verminous, or scrofulous children; to chronic inflammation of the meibomian glands; to short-sightedness and dim-sightedness of both eyes;
to muscae-volitantes, from disorder of the watery spectrum, when everything seems as if obscured by turbid water; to incipient amaurosis,
when black motes hover before the eyes, or everything seems surrounded by a mist, or covered with a cobweb. It is homoeopathic to
nervous pains in the ears; but especially against the pains, itchings, and other inconveniences which attend frost-bites of the ears.
It is homoeopathic to epistaxis and frost-bites of the nose; also to great
sensitiveness and tenderness of the nose, with or without great acuteuess of the sense of smell. It is homoeopathic to frost-bites of the face:
to painful throbbings and twitchings in the face, such as attend gumn

109


boils and abscesses about the face; it is useful against the pimples
of acne, which occur on the faces of young persons, and a tendency to
blueness and roughness of the skin of the face; also to chaps and fissures of the lips.  It is homoeopathic to neuralgia of th.e face;
to toothache from taking cold, especially when the teeth feel long,
and are very sensitive to pressure when touched or while chewing;
and to inflammation of the lining membrane of the alveolar processes.
It is homoeopathic to mercurial salivation; also to ulceration and soreness of the mouth, from gastric and bilious derangement, and to a foul
and bilious state of the mouth. It is very homoeopathic to bilious
dyspepsia, especially when occurring in very nervous and sensitive
persons. Agaricus is one of the most homoeopathic remedies against
excessive flatulence of the stomach and bowels; against the fullness and
oppression of the stomach which arises from flatulence, and produces
a feeling as if *the contents of the chest were compressed. It is
most suited against the flatulence of nervous, hysterical, and bilious
persons. Agaricus is one of the most homoeopathic remedies to
excessive flatulence and tendency to diarrhcea, such as occur in
nervous and hysterical persons, especially if there be marked
bilious derangement; also in indigestion, -colic, and flatulence, from
irritation or sub-acute inflammation of the stomach and bowels
(chronic gastro-enteritis). Agaricus is one of the few homoeopathic
remedies against enlargement of the liver and spleen, and all the
attendant gastric, bilious, and intestinal derangements.  Against
general abdominal and venous plethora.     It is homoeopathic to
bilious diarrhoea, especially when attended with much and excessively fetid flatulence-viz., when there is yellowness of the skin and
whites of the eyes and tongue, bitter taste in the mouth, nausea,
eructations, pain, tenderness, and fullness in the region of the liver
and spleen, great rumbling in and distention of the abdomen. It is
peculiarly suitable when these symptoms are associated with much
nervousness. It may prove useful in gastro-enteritis and peritonitis;
also in ulceration of the stomach and bowels, especially that which
obtains in typhoid fever. This remedy may prove useful in many
affections of the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, as we have indubitable
proofs that it is conveyed to these parts. It probably acts upon the
genital organs in the same manner as spirituous liquors. It is ho.
moeopathic to excessive itching of these parts and profuse menstrua.
tion.-J. C-P.
Air-Passages.-We have already noticed the tendency of Agaricus
to excite the secretion of large quantities of yellow mucus from the
stomach and bowels. The Agaricus catarrh is characterized by a




i10

copious discharge of thick tenacious mucus from the nose, followed
or preceded by an accumulation of dry mucus in the nostrils, as if
they were entirely filled with it; frequent sneezing. Roughness of
the throat; frequent hawking, with discharge of small balls of phlegm,
frequent irritation in the trachea, with inclination to cough; dry
cough. Shortness of breath and asthma, frequently obliging one to
stand still while walking; labored breathing, as if the chest were
filled with blood; vwlent oppression of the chest, preventing deep
breathing, with sensation as if the breath were constricted. Paroxysms of anxiety in the chest, and sense of suffocation. Stitches in
the lungs. Itching and burning of the breast and nipples, with
eruption of pimples. Profuse sweat upon the chest.      Agaricus
promises to be one of our most valuable remedies in congestion of
the lungs and in congestive asthma, especially-when these disorders
occur in bilious and nervous persons. It ought to prove an admirable remedy against derangement of the heart, when associated with
great enlargement of the liver, and secondary congestion of the lungs,
with all the attendant difficulty of breathing, palpitations, spasmodic
cough, derangement and congestion of the kidneys. It may ward off
many cases of ascites and hydrothorax, arising from primary congestion and enlargement of the liver. The powerful action of Agaricus upon the motor nerves and muscles has already been alluded
to. It is one of the most useful remedies in spinal irritation and
lumbago. Many cases of so-called nervous headaches are merely extensions of spinal irritation to the ramifications of the spinal nerves
within the brain. Ker has used it successfully when there were violent oppressive pains, principally in the forehead, often attended
with delirium, vomiting of a bitter bilious fluid, sense of languor,
feeling as if the body were bruised and joints dislocated, with a sense
of uneasiness and weakness all down the spine.     It is homoeopaihic to many of those anomalous pains in the limbs which arise
from spinal irritation. It is one of the best remedies against frostbites of the fingers, and that peculiar mottled purplish state of the
skin, owing to a fluidity ancf venous condition of the blood, which so
easily leads to chilblains and frost-bites.--J. C. P.

RATIONALE OF ITS AcTION.-Dioscorides says that it increases the
flow of milk, brings on the menses, thins the spermatic fluid, produces
pain in the testicles, and brings on sleep. He recommends the
seeds against poisonous stings, dropsy, and enlargement and disease
of the spleen; a decoction of the leaves and seeds, in a bath, in
inflammations and other diseases of the womb. It is said to be
useful in lethargy and frenzy, when applied to the head. It was
thought to cure the bites of serpents; to remove hardness of the
genital organs, fissures of the anus, bruises, and wounds. Hippocrates recommended the leaves steeped in wine against metrorrhagia;
with wine and oil to expel the after-birth; the seeds in diseases of
the spleen; also against ascarides; to increase the secretion of milk
in nursing women; the fresh leaves to be put on inflamed organs,
and plasters of the same for ulcers. Roth says it has cured: Whiteness of the tongue, bitterness of the mouth, loss of appetite, sensitiveness of the abdomen to pressure, swelling of the abdomen after
eating, occasional pains in the lower abdomen and in the kidneys
while urinating, great accumulation-of wind in the bowels, hardness
of the stools, and redness and muddiness of the urine. Also when
the menses last from ten to eighteen days, being preceded by headache, vertigo, and dimness of sight, accompanied with pains in the
pelvis and loins. Also oppression of the chest on going up-stairs;

cough, with raising of blood, followed by copious mucous expectoration, with paroxysmal attacks, especially in the morning, of palpitations and bleeding of the nose; also when there is a deficient
secretion of milk in child-bed women; when the legs are much fatigued and swollen towards evening, with sallowness of the skin and
disturbed dreams. It has cured quartan fevers of six months' duration, marked by slight chilliness towards evening, followed by heat
and headache, without thirst, but with slight delirium, the paroxysm
terminating in profuse perspiration. According to the homceopa.
thists, the spirit of the action of this drug may be expressed by
stating that it produces a condition which counterfeits marvellously
that which obtains in old age, marked by dullness of the intellect,
weakness of memory and hearing, blear-eyedness, trembling and
feebleness of the limbs, decay of the sexual appetite and power, suppression of the menses and secretion of milk, and prevalence of urinary
and arthritic complaints. It is also homoeopathic to that premature
old age which arises in young persons from abuse of the sexual
powers, marked by melancholy, apathy, mental distraction, self-contempt, general debility, frequent loss of prostatic fluid, &c.-J. C. P.
ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Motion.-It seems to exert
a more decided action upon the motor nerves, and upon the muscles
and joints, than upon "the nerves of sensation.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTEM.-Chilliness, without thirst or subsequent heat. Constant trembling of the whole body, from internal
chilliness, the body feeling warm to the touch. Chilliness of the
whole body, without thirst, although the hands are the only portions
of the body which feel cold to the touch. Frequent alternations of
chilliness and heat, without thirst. Heat of the whole body, with
coldness of the knees.
PULSE.-The pulse is apt to become slower and less perceptible,
60 per minute.
SKIN.-This remedy is especially remarkable for the sensation of
corrosive itching which it produces in various parts, without its being
attended with any marked eruption. It is homoeopathic to corrosive
itching upon the scalp, especially in the evening; also upon the forehead and eye-brows, in the eyes and upon the lids, about the tip of
the nose, upon the cheeks, about the ears and chin; itching and
scratching sensation in the throat, with irritation to cough; about the
groins, perinseum, genitalia, and arm-pits.-J. C. P.

with slight delirium, the paroxysms terminating with profuse perspirations. It may prove useful against the spleen-affections and dropsy
which follow quartan fevers. It may prove a useful remedy against
pruritus and prurigo. It had an ancient reputation against itching of
the anus. Noack recommends it in hypochondriacal melancholy,
melancholia-anoa, melancholia-tadium-vitae. It is homoeopathic to
great mental dejection, with fear of approaching death; despair and
melancholic undervaluing of one's self, with desire to be dead; melancholic hypochondriacal humor, with dissatisfaction with one's self and
contemptuous undervaluing of everything; thoughtlessness and inability to work; difficult comprehension of what has been read and
heard; great mental anxiety, with excessive debility, and feeling as
if diarrhoea were about to occur; excessive mental distraction while
reading. It is said to be very useful in purely hysterical and hypochondriacal affections bordering upon fixed melancholy, not depending upon any dyscratic or material cause, but rather upon a misdirection of the mental powers, and occurring in old maids, widows, and
widowers. It is allied to Ignatia and Aurum in its action; and
while Agaricus produces great excitement of the nervous system,
Agnus-castus causes great torpor. Noack proposes it in hemicrania.
It is homceopathic to tearing pains, especially above the right eye
and temple, as if one had received a blow uipon the eye, attended
with soreness to touch, increased by motion, aggravated in the evening, and lasting for several days. It is probably best suited to the
headaches of persons with derangements of the womb, ovaries, testicles, or sexual organs in general; in the headaches of those given to
sexual excesses or subject to seminal emissions, or of those of unmarried persons suffering from nervous debility. Noack proposes it
as a remedy against coma; it is probably most suitable against the
drowsiness which arises from nervous exhaustion, rather than from
congestion. It may be suited against hydrocephaloid drowsiness.
It is homoeopathic to pharyngitis; also to the formation of an excess
of uric acid in the stomach. It is a singular coincidence that Agnuscastus has been supposed to exert a specific influence upon the spleen,
and Scherer has found uric-acid in considerable quantity as a normal
constituent in the juice of the spleen. It may prove useful in some
forms of dyspepsia and flatulence. Roth says it is homoeopathic
against whiteness of the tongue, bitterness of the mouth, loss of appetite, sensitiveness of the abdomen to pressure, swelling of the abdomen after eating, occasional pains in the hypogastrium, great accumulation of wind in the bowels, hardness of the stools, pains in the kid.

mended it against dropsy, ascites, enlargement and other diseases
of the spleen. Hippocrates recommended the seeds in diseases of
the spleen. It has been recommended by Nopck in chronic diarrhoea. In pruritis-podicis and excoriations about the rectum.  It is
homoeopathic to corrosive itching about the groins, anus, and perinaeum; to acute, deep, sharp stitches about the coccyx; to painful
spots near the anus while walking, as if there were subcutaneous
ulcerations. It has been recommended against fissures of the anus.
It may prove useful against the uric-acid diathesis, and also against
the oxalic-acid diathesis, as the recent experiments of Wohler and
Frerichs-in which the introduction of uric-acid into the organism, by
the primgce-vic or by the veins, was followed by an augmentation of
the urea and oxalate of lime in the urine-afford tolerably strong evidence that the uric-acid in the animal organism undergoes a decomposition into urea and oxalic-acid, precisely similar to that which can
be artificially produced by Peroxide of Lead. It may prove useful
against the melancholy and despondency which attends the oxalic'acid diathesis.-To prevent getting children, a man took for three
months, morning and evening, twelve grains of the Agnus-castus, by
which the parts were weakened to such an extent that, not only did
the erections become deficient, but he lost his semen as he intended,
and never begat children. This drug has received the Greek name
Lygon, from the great flaccidity of the penis, which it causes. Dr.
Landerer, of Athens, uses the seeds of the Agnus-castus with the
greatest success in gonorrhoea, curing cases in which even Cubebs had
failed. Although it is said to thin the spermatic fluid, and produce
pain in the testicles, still an ointment of it will remove pains in the
testicles. Roth says it is useful against oppression of the chest on
going up-stairs, cough with raising of blood, followed by copious mucous expectoration, with paroxysmal attacks, especially in the morning, attended with palpitations and bleeding of the nose. Noack has
recommended it against the after-effects of dislocations. It is homoeopathic to piercing and rending pains in the joints; pains as it

lytic pain in the wrist-joint, only felt when turning the hand; gouty

prove useful against gonorrhoeal rheumatism. It had an ancient,

9.-ALCOHOL.
ACUTE ErFECTS..-According to Christison and authors who have
treated of the actions of alcoholic and spirituous liq.uors on man,
have distinguished three degrees in its immediate effects:
6




122


ALCOHOL.


1. When the dose is small, much excitement and little subsequent
depression are produced.
2. In the second degree, the symptoms are more violent: excitement, flushed face, confusion of thought, delirium, and various mental
affections, varying with individual character. The majority of intoxicated persons become jovial, sympathetic, and even indiscreet---.
many things which otherwise would remain a profound secret are
allowed to escape (in vino veritas); others become sentimental and
affectionate; some speak with incomprehensible suavity about learned
subjects, politics, country; in some cases, the coward becomes a hero
in his own imagination; others are always ready to quarrel or fight,
and either comport themselves' as pugilists, or become almost murderous in their ferocity; but, fortunately, there are generally others
not less drunk who are not only peaceable, but anxious to preserve
the peace. Another class of drunkards always become depressed in
spirits, sit quietly in a corner, are much absorbed in themselves, and
burst into tears and complaints over the most trivial occurrences.
The perceptions are disturbed and often confused; the harmony
between the intellect and will is broken up; the higher intellectual
functions, and even the common processes of the understanding
become more and more difficult, while the imagination and the lower
impulses predominate. These symptoms are followed by dozing and
gradually increasing somnolency, which may, at length, become so
deep as not easily to be broken. After the state of somnolency has
continued several hours, it ceases gradually, but is followed by giddiness, weakness, stupidity, headache, sickness, and vomiting. This
degree of injury from Alcohol may prove fatal, either in itself, by
the coma becoming deeper and deeper, or from the previous excited
state of the circulation causing diseases of the brain in a predisposed
habit. There is a singular variety in the principal symptoms in this
form of intoxication, even when completely formed: thus, when the
stage of stupor is fully formed, the person is sometimes capable of
being roused, sometimes immoveably comatose for a long time; the
pulse is sometimes imperceptible or very feeble, sometimes distinct,
or even full, generally slow or natural, seldom frequent, very seldom
firm; the pupils are occasionally contracted, much more generally
dilated, and, in a few instances, alternating between one state and
the other; the countenance is commonly pale, sometimes turgid and
flushed; the breathing is for the most part slow, and also soft, yet
not unfrequently laborious, but very rarely stertorous. Convulsions
are rare, having been observed twice only in twenty-six cases.
Neither do any of the special symptoms seem to bear a marked rela

tion to the ultimate event; for many cases get well when the pupils
are much dilated, the coma profound, and the pulse imperceptible.
It usually happens that, if the stage of stupor be completely overcome, recovery speedily ensues, without any particular symptom
except headache, giddiness, sickness, and the customary consequences of a debauch. But, on some occasions, the comatose stage is
succeeded by one which indicates much cerebral excitement-by
flushed face, injected eyes, restlessness, a febrile state of the system,
and delirium, even of the violent kind. In other cases, this affection
puts on very much the characters of a slight attack of typhoid fever.
In another variety of this second degree of intoxication, an apoplectic
disposition is called into action by the excited state of the circulating
system, and death ensues from apoplexy, or some other disease of
the brain, rather than from simple drunkenness. Thus, in some instances, extravasation of blood is found within the head after death;
but, as this is a rare effect of intoxication, it must be considered as
the result of poisoning with spirits, exciting sanguineous apoplexy in
a predisposed constitution. In other cases, the stupor of intoxication,
after putting on all the characters of apoplexy for two days and upwards, terminates fatally without extravasation; here the poison
operates by developing a constitutional tendency to congestive apoplexy. In some cases, an interval of returning health occurs between
the immediate narcotic effects of the poison and the ultimate apoplectic coma which is the occasion of death.-J. C. P.
Case.-A lad, aged sixteen, swallowed sixteen ounces of whiskey
in the course of ten minutes, and, pursuant to the terms of a wager,
walked up and down a room for half an hour. He then went into
the open air, apparently not at all the worse for his feat; but, in a
very few minutes, while in the act of putting his hand into his
pocket to take out some money, he became so suddenly senseless as
to forget to withdraw his hand, and so insensible that his companions
could not rouse him. He died in sixteen hours.-J. C. P.
3. The third degree of poisoning is not so often witnessed, because,
in order to produce it, a greater quantity of spirits must be swallowed,
pure and at once, than is usually taken, except by persons who have
made foolish wagers on their prowess in drinking. Then there is
seldom much preliminary excitement; coma approaches in a few
minutes, and soon becomes profound, as in apoplexy; the face is
sometimes livid, more generally ghastly pale; the breathing stertorous, and the breath having a spirituous odor; the pupils sometimes
much contracted, more commonly dilated and insensible; and, if
relief is not speedily procured, death takes place, generally in a few

ALCOHOL.


hours, and sometimes immediately. The patient may recover if the
iris remains contractile; but, if it is dilated and motionless on the
approach of sight, recovery is very improbable. These cases generally die with the symptoms of pure coma; convulsions are not
common, but occasional cases do occur in which the coma is accompanied with alternating opisthotonos and emprosthotonos.-J. C. P.
Occasionally Alcohol acts as an irritant; after its ordinary narcotic action passes off another set of symptoms occasionally appear,
which indicate inflammation of the alimentary canal.
Case.-A young man had been drinking brandy immoderately for
several days, when at length he was attacked with shivering, nausea,
feverishness, pain in the stomach, vomiting of everything he swallowed except cold water, thirst, and at last hiccough, delirium,
jaundice, and convulsions. Death took place on the ninth day. The
stomach was found gangrenous over the whole villous coat; the colon
was much inflamed, and all the small intestines red.
ON ANIMALS.-Huss and Dahlstrom administered daily to three
dogs, of various ages but of nearly equal size, six ounces of Swedish
brandy. Intoxication, canine appetite, and intense thirst were occasioned by each dose during the first three months; but the dogs
continued fat and apparently well. In the fourth month the bark of
the animals became hoarse, they had a hoarse, dry hiccough and
cough, the eyes were staring and full of tears, hearing was much
diminished, and their sleep became restless, with frequent subsultus
and jerking of the limbs. After the completion of the fourth month
the dogs trembled when they attempted to stand; their walk was
shuffling, and there was evident weakness of the extremities, especially in the hind-legs, so that they often remained in a sitting
posture while taking food. Cramps and convulsive movements and
subsultus next appeared in the limbs and trunk, both during sleep
and when the anijnals were awake and lying on their sides. The
sight of other dogs, however, roused them at all times from their
apathetic condition, and they endeavored, even in their weakened state,
to attack and bite them. Their strength diminished more and more,
the sensibility of the skin, especially of the ears, was remarkably
lessened, the appetite fell off rapidly, but the irritability towards
other dogs continued unabated to the last. The deposit of fat rather
increased. They all died in the eighth month.
PATHOLOGY.-The appearances were the same in all three: the
stomach was contracted, its mucous membrane lead-colored and cedematous; the intestinal canal coated with a tough bad-smelling mucus;
the liver considerably enlarged, softened, and dark; the bile dark

and so tough that it could be drawn out in threads; nasal, tracheal,
and bronchial mucous membrane slightly inflamed; vessels of the
brain and its membranes much congested, with effusion of clear
scrum between the arachnoid and dura-mater; a clear, gelatinous,
semi-coagulated fluid between the same membranes of the spinal
cord, especially near the fourth and sixth dorsal vertebrae; muscles
pale, relaxed, and soft; fat soft.
GENERAL EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.-Alcohol has been
generally believed, since the experiments of Sir B. Brodie, to act on
the brain through the medium of the nerves, and to do so without
entering the blood. But we agree with Christison, who says this
may be doubted, as it does not act so swiftly, but that absorption
may easily take place before its operation begins. It is probable
that Alcohol exerts a similar action upon many of the nerves to that
which it does upon the brain; congestion, serous effusion, and induration of the nerves are not improbable effects.-J. C. P.
Nerves of Motion.-Alcohol rarely causes convulsions; but it
exerts some influence over the nerves of motion, probably through
the cerebellum, whose office it is to co6rdinate muscular movements;
for intoxicated persons do not possess full control over the voluntary
muscles, as is seen in their stammering speech, the staggering to and
fro, and tendency to fall. In delirium tremens, also, there are peculiar tremors, particularly of the tongue and hands.
There is also trembling of the hands and arms; a constant trembling motion of the muscles under the skin (tremblement vermiculaire). Shaking and shivering are merely higher degrees of trembling,
and only occur when the muscular system is much weakened.
Diminished strength and a state of weakness and relaxation of the
locomotive muscular system. Partial paralysis. Subsultus, jerking,
and spasmodic drawing and starting of the muscles. Convulsions
and epileptic attacks.
Nerves of Sensation.-Formication in or under the skin is one of
the most common chronic effects of Alcohol on the nerves of sensation;
it is frequently attended with restlessness, which obliges the patient
to move the affected limbs constantly. Fleeting sensations of drawing or piercing, generally in the feet and legs. Hypermsthesia, pain,
and neuralgic rendings; these are generally preceded for some time
by formication, flying pains, and piercings. These may be followed
by dullness of sensation, or even loss of sensation, or anesthesia; it
is noticed first in the tips of the toes, then in those of the fingers,
finally it extends over the back of the foot to the leg, or tibia, or to
the back of the hands.




126


ALCOHOL.


Great Sympathetic Nerve.-The chronic action of Alcohol upon this
nerve and its ramifications are evinced more by alterations in the structure and functions of the various organs of the chest, abdomen, and
pelvis than by any particular sensations. In small quantities, Alcohol
expends its action almost exclusively upon the abdominal organs. One
can distinctly feel how its action expands from the solar plexus upon
those organs in which the splanchnic nerves ramify. There is a
feeling of comfort in the abdomen, more rapid and powerful digestion, more active peristaltic movements, increased desire.for food and
drinks, more profuse secretions, especially from the kidneys.
ON THE BLOOD.-Through whatever channel Alcohol operates,
there is no doubt that it enters the blood; for in man the breath has a
strong smell of spirits for a considerable time after it is swallowed, and
it has been found in the tissues and secretions after death from large
doses. One of the most important appearances in poisoning with Alcohol is the fluid and venous condition of the blood. According to Steinheimer and Roesch, Alcohol acts directly on the blood, and intoxication is owing to an alcoholic venous plethora, in which the proportion
of hydrogen and carbon in the blood is much increased. A similar
alteration of the blood occurs in poisoning with narcotic drugs, and
the delirium and excitement of the nervous system produced by them
and Alcohol is consequent upon this change in the quality of the
blood. If Alcohol be added to blood which has been drawn from a
vein, it becomes dark, and loses its normal opacity; or becomes
more or less transparent, and changes to a cherry-juicelike fluid.
With the aid of a microscope we see the blood-globules gradually
losing their red coloring matter, which becomes uniformly dissolved
and diffused through the serum, which then assumes a peculiar
cherry-red color. This serum coagulates to the consistence of thick
milk, but cannot form solid coagulas, and no watery particles separate
from it.  These appearances coincide with those of the blood of
topers, which is thiek but fluid; it coagulates very loosely, contains
little fibrin, but much albumen and fat.-J. C. P.
According to C. H. Schultz, when Alcohol is absorbed into the blood,
it renders the coloring matter of blood-globules soluble in the bloodplasma, and produces a contraction of the walls of the blood-globules.
The quantity of fat in the blood of topers is considerably increased, it
may increase to eleven per cent. according to Lecanu. The blood often
seems milky or curdy. Accordifng to Moleschott, Alcohol burns off in
the blood, or forms a combination with the oxygen of the blood, and
is converted into carbonic acid and water; this prevents the oxygen
Pf the blood from combining with the organic mass, thus stopping

127


its oxygenation and combustion, and retarding the normal and
constant metamorphosis of the tissues; hence it occasions a lesser
demand for food and solid nourishment. Dr. Ogston has furnished
the most positive proofs of the absorption of Alcohol into the blood.
He says, " that Alcohol will escape by the kidneys unchanged, is
proved by the fact that it can be tested chemically in the urine."
This he has verified in several cases of death by drowning. That
this fluid, however, could be found in the urine in any but the
minutest quantities, and in a highly diluted state, he did not consider at all likely till the following occurrence showed its possibility:
Case.-A man, aged forty-seven, while intoxicated, threw himself
into the water; the body was recovered in less than an hour, and inspected fourteen hours after death. At the inspection, from three to
four drachms of urine from the bladder was being heated in an iron
spoon over the flame of a candle, to ascertain if it contained albumen,
when the flame set fire to the vapor rising from the fluid. This
unexpected event was witnessed by Dr. James Jameson, and several
medical students.-J. C. P.
Alcohol passes directly from the stomach and intestines into the
blood; a part of the spirit is, perhaps, then decomposed, but another
portion is carried directly by the portal system through the liver, and
from thence to the lungs, where much is exhaled with the air that is
breathed, but the remainder passes into the arterial system, and from
thence over the whole body.
All authors are agreed that the blood of dram-drinkers contains a
much larger proportion of carbon than that of healthy individuals.
Scharlau has estimated the excess of carbon in the blood of drunkards
to be not less than thirty per cent. Huss comes to the conclusion
that both the arterial and venous blood of dram-drinkers is loaded
with fat; that it is impregnated likewise with Alcohol; that the
solid constituents in defibrinated blood are diminished, as is likewise
the proportion of blood-globules.-J. C. P.
Boecker thinks that Alcohol causes a decidedly venous condition of
the blood, with a proclivity towards melanosis. Also that it produces a partial solution of the coloring matter of the blood in the
plasma, rendering the serum reddish and turbid.-The blood in fivo
drunkards contained:
In 1000 Parts  Health.
Solid constituents of defibrinated blood...... 202.180  221.000
Blood-globules..........................  122.484  141.100
Albumen.............................  76.804    69.400
Extractive matters and soluble salts of serum, 12.594  6.800
Fibrin..............................  2.200     2.200




128


ALCOHOL.


Hence Alcohol diminishes the solid constituents and the blood4
globules; increases the quantity of albumen, fat, and other extractive
matters; and exerts little or no influence upon the fibrin.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-Alcohol is evidently suitable in some
dyscrasias and blood diseases. It is homoeopathic to adiposis and
venosis; more or less antagonistic to tuberculosis. In tuberculosis
there is a deficiency of fat in the system, which Alcohol may supply,
especially if aided by fatty food, cream, Cod-liver oil, &c.; there is an
excess of albumen which Alcohol may increase; there is a deficiency
of iron and the chlorides of soda and potassa which Alcohol cannot
supply. Hence Alcohol alone may prevent tuberculosis, but cannot
entirely cure it when fully developed; it may require the aid of Codliver oil, Iron, and Chlorides of Soda and Potassa. In this connection
we may be permitted to add, that the morbid condition of the blood
produced by the malaria or poison of intermittent fever, is totally
distinct from the morbid condition of the blood which attends tuberculosis. As far as chemical analysis goes, the facts show that the
state of the blood in confirmed and aggravated intermittent fever is
the very antithesis of the state of the blood in tuberculosis in several
important particulars; and, more especially, that the proportion of
albumen is greatly diminished, while that of the red corpuscules is
uniformly and to a very considerable extent increased--two circumstances which are in direct opposition to the state of the blood in tuberculosis.-J. C. P.
The blood of four persons, residing in malarious districts, and suffering from intermittent fever, was analyzed by Cozzi; the following
are the results:

the Chlorides of Soda and Potassa.-J. C. P.
HEART AND ARTERIES.-In strong, but not excessive doses, a feel.
ing of -warmth and comfort spreads from the epigastrium over the
whole body; the pulse becomes raised, more powerful, and quicker;
all the muscular movements take place with more ease, power, and
endurance; the tone of the nervous system is raised, especially in
the brain, followed by greater vivacity, excitement of the feelings
and courage, and more general and astute powers of thought. The
metamorphosis of the tissues takes place more rapidly, followed by
increased secretions, especially from the skin and kidneys. In a few
hours this state is followed by relaxation and exhaustion, lassitude,
inclination to repose and sleep.
In Ogston's cases, the walls of the heart were loaded with fat in
eleven cases, coincident with general obesity in three cases. There
was general enlargement or hypertrophy in eleven cases, coincident
with abundant fat on its walls in five cases. Hypertrophy of the left
ventricle in five cases; dilatation and attenuation of the right ventricle in nine cases. The tricuspid valve was diseased in four cases,
the mitral in eight, and the aortic in two. There was dilatation or
the aorta in four cases; bony plates and atheroma in four cases.
There were abnormal appearances in the pericardium, heart, and
aorta in thirty cases out of seventy-three, or in forty-one per cent.
The changes in the heart and arteries, to be met with in drunkards in
such numbers, are attributed, by Dr. Carpenter, partly to the gouty
and rheumatic diatheses generated in such persons by alcoholic fluids,
and in part to the direct action of the poison introduced into the
blood; but, more particularly, with the exception of the increase ot
fat about the heart, by the exposure to inclement weather from which
drunkards so frequently suffer.-J. C. P.
Alcohol is homoeopathic to a fatty state of the heart and adiposis
in general. Chambers has been in the habit of forbidding tea, coffee,
and alcohol to obese persons, with striking advantage; and he thinks
that good effects have followed their disuse in cases of thickened
heart in muscular subjects. It is also homoeopathic to many of the
symptoms of typhoid fever; and Tweedie gives the following sum.
mary of cases or stages of fever in which stimulants prove beneficial:
1. It is sometimes observed that when a patient in fever has been
going on favorably, the pulse becumes suddenly soft and compressible,
the skin cool and damp, accompanied by a feeling of considerable ex.
haustion. With these symptoms there need be little hesitation in

allowing six or eight ounces of wine in twenty-four hours, at proper
intervals.
2. When the symptoms denoting sensorial disturbance, languor,
low muttering delirium, tremor, or subsultus progressively increase,
if, at the same time, the patient lose his strength from day to day, the
pulse be soft and the skin cool, Wine may be safely prescribed.
3. When the fever assumes the petechial character, more especially
if the spots be large, and of a dark or livid hue, Wine is indicated.
4. In cases of sudden and unexpected collapse.
5. Dr. Graves considers that Wine and Opium may be sometimes
advantageously prescribed in the advanced stages of fever, even when
particular symptoms apparently render their propriety doubtful.
Thus, when the tongue is coated with dry brown fur, the teeth covered
with sordes, when there is suffusion of the eyes, dry and hot skin,
heat of the scalp and flushing of the face, a low form of delirium,
sense of weight or pain in the head, not of an acute or throbbing
character, and the pulse small, rapid, and thrilling, Wine may be
given with advantage.-J. C. P.
HEAD.-HIallucinations and congestion of the head occur as a matter of course; they do not require explanation. Melancholy with
inclination to suicide (monomanie suicide ebrieuse) is not an uncommon effect of chronic alcoholismus; also mania with inclination to
commit murder (monomanie homicide ebrieuse); mania with inclination to incendiarism (monomanie incendiaire, pyromanie ebrieuse);
mania with excessive inclination to drink (monomanie d'ivresse);
polidipsia (omomania), this is not a fault, but a disease, and must
be treated as such, with the aid of nurses, attendants, medicines, &c.;
the liabilities to relapse are as frequent and obstinate as those of
mania and fever and ague, and must be guarded against as sedulously.
Stupidity, (stupidite ebrieuse); maniacal or drunken ferocity (manie,
ou ferocite ebrieuse), this is most common in those of hasty and passionate temperamer4s; dementia (demence ebrieuse).
In the bodies-of nearly seventy drunkards, examined by Drs. Peters, Middleton Goldsmith, and Moses, in 1842 and 1843, there was
invariably more or less congestion of the scalp, and of the membranes
of the brain, with considerable serous effusion under the arachnoid.
The substance of the brain was unusually white and firm, as if it had
lain in Alcohol for an hour or two. The ventricles were generally
nearly or quite empty. In not more than eight or ten cases were
there more red spots on the cut surface of the brain than are usually
found   The peculiar firmness of the brain was noticed several times,
even when decomposition of the rest of the body had made conside.

rable advance; typhus fever is the only disease, save induration of
the brain, in which a like firmness is often observed. Occasionally
a few drachms of colorless or reddish turbid serum were found in the
ventricles of the brain.-J. C. P.
In ten cases of fatal delirium tremens, the membranes of the brain
were congested in four; an excess of fluid was found under the arachnoid in eight; an excess of fluid in the ventricles in six; and in the
majority of cases the substance of the brain was " wet." In seventythree cases, examined by Dr. Ogston, the dura-mater was adherent
to the calvarium in eleven; highly injected in four; much thickened
(leathery) in one; serum between it and skull-cap in one. The
arachnoid was thickened in thirty-one cases; serum under it and
over the cerebral hemispheres in forty (coincident with arachnoid
thickening in thirty); serum at the base of the skull in seventeen;
between the dura-mater and arachnoid in two; in the cerebral ventricles in twenty-four-viz., in some quantity in fourteen, and limited
to these in four. The pia-mater was injected in twenty cases; very
minutely in nineteen; limited to the base of the brain in two. The
surface was figured in one; coincident with ventricular effusion in
fourteen; with effusion at the base of the brain in nine; a quantity
of serum under the pia-mater in one case. The brain was hypertrophied in two cases; indurated in twenty-six, very much so in ten;
indurated coincidently with sub-arachnoid serum in twenty-one;
with abundant ventricular serum in five; with lymph on portions of
the brain in three; with softened fornix in one. The brain was
softened in four cases. There was cedema at its base in five, coincident with injection of the pia-mater. The cerebellum was softened
in six cases; coincident with softened cerebrum in three; with indurated brain in one. The cerebellum was indurated in eight cases;
coincidently with induration of the brain in all. The medulla-oblongata and spinal cord were indurated in one case, coincidently with
induration of the brain and cerebellum. The choroid plexuses had
vesicles upon them in fourteen cases. The cerebral'arteries were in a
state of fatty degeneration in one case. There were abnormal appearances in the brain and appendages in eighty-nine per cent.-J. C. P.
Alcohol is homoeopathic to many forms of congestion of the brain,
insanity, dropsy of the brain, especially hydrocephaloid disease,
induration of the brain, &c. In many cases of typhoid fevers, and
other maladies characterized by cerebral disturbance and dcpression
of nervous energy, Alcohol is a specific remedy of great value. How
often do we meet with groups of symptoms, during the course of scarlatina, typhoid, and other feve.s, which similate those of alcoholic

intoxication! Like Opium, it impresses specifically the brain (tubercula quadrigemina particularly) and nervous system; and the phenomena which arise from its use bear a close resemblance to those of
this drug.
EYES.-A blood-shot condition or congestion of the eyes, with a
bilious condition of these organs, are among the most common effects
of even moderate quantities of Alcohol. Hallucinations of sight are
common, both in simple intoxication, delirium tremens, and alcoholismus-chronicus. The patient sees double, or thinks he sees a variety
of objects, men, animals, good or bad spirits, angels or demons. Optical illusions are among the most uniform and singular effects of the
abuse of Alcohol. This probably arises from the fact that the most
marked action of this stimulus is upon that portion of the brain
which gives origin to the optic nerves.
EARS.-Singing in the ears, or rushing and roaring noises are not
uncommon; hallucinations of hearing are also not uncommon, such as
imaginary voices, talking, or shouting; in chronic alcoholismus they
are not constant, but occur most frequently in the evening and about
midnight; the patient may even imagine that he hears singing or instrumental music. Ringing in the ears, which has arisen from mere
debility, from excessive loss of blood, &c., is often cured by the judicious employment of alcoholic stimulants.
NoSE.-Hallucinations of smell are not common; but the patient
may imagine that his room is full of the vapors of Sulphur, or suppose that the devil has defiled his bed, and that this smells as the
devil is supposed to do.-J. C. P
MOUTH, TASTE.-Great dryness of the mouth is a common effect of
Alcohol, although the tongue is commonly moist in delirium tremens.
Hallucinations of taste sometimes occur in alcoholismus-chronicus,
and the patient may suppose that all the drinks which are offered
him taste more or less of Alcohol.-J. C. P.
The excessive dryness of the mouth and tongue which so often
accompany typhoid and malignant fevers, is sometimes materially
diminished by the use of Brandy or Wine. When other phenomena
correspond, such as delirium, optical hallucinations, depression of the
nervous system, &c., Alcohol is homoeopathically indicated, and should
be prescribed without hesitation.-J. C. P.
STOMACH.-Derangements of the stomach are very common in
drunkards; among the chronic effects, the most frequent is vomiting,
viz., tho well-known morning-nausea and vomiting. At first the
throat seems full of mucus, which is hawked up with difficulty; this
becomes more and more difficult, and finally inclination to vomit and

133


actual vomiting occur, caused at first by the attempts to hawk up
phlegm, but finally they occur without this, and are attended with a
feeling of oppression, discomfort, tension, and aching in the epigastrium. Besides the morning-vomiting, these symptoms may also
occur more or less frequently during the day, especially after eating
and drinking. These gaggings or vomitings of drunkards are preceded for a longer or shorter time by a feeling of pressure or tension
below the breast, by fullness and distension after eating, by sour or
putrid eructations, rising of water in the mouth, &c. In the morning,
a tough, or sour or bitter, or saltish or insipid water is raised; during
the day, the food, more or less altered or digested, is brought up,
but the vomits are always more or less sour or offensive.
The tongue is more or less furrowed or cracked; the furrows either
run the whole length of the tongue, or else are confined to the tip;
the fissures, like the furrows, may be deeper or smaller, straight or
crooked, or in zig-zags, but they always run from the median line of
the tongue towards the edges; the surface of the tongue may be
furry or fibrilated, but it is more frequently scraped, robbed of its
epithelium, and as if varnished; in such cases it is flesh-red in color,
with enlarged papillae at its tip. The appearance of the tongue
varies in the same person, according as he drinks more or less, or
the stomach is more or less irritated. The trembling of the tongue
has already been alluded to.
The breath has an offensive smell, especially while digestion is
going on, arising in part from the evaporation of alcohol from the
bronchial mucous membrane, id part from the eructations, and in part
from the filth in the mouth and between the teeth.
The mucous membrane of the throat is often unnaturally red, and
has a feeling of stiffness. That of the oesophagus is generally in the
same condition, as is evident from the burning or slightly painful sen.
sation which is frequently felt in swallowing.
The stomach may be sensitive or not, tense or relaxed, according
as it is filled with food, air, &c. When emaciation commences to
take place, the recti muscles, especially that of the right side, becomes rigid, and cannot be relaxed. The appetite, which at first was
good, or even excessive, especially for tasty and fatty food, becomes
less and less, in proportion as the taste for drink increases. Inflam.
mation and ulceration of the stomach may arise from other causes,
and then will be aggravated by the Alcohol.
Dysphagia, arising from spasms in the pharynx and cesophagus, is
not uncommon; at first the attacks are periodical, finally, they become
continual, and may lead to contraction of the oesophagus.-J. C. P.




134                          ALCOHOL.
According to Orfila, if a large quantity of Alcohol be taken during
or shortly after a meal, it coagulates the albuminous portions of the
contents of the stomach, and this coagulated albumen passes off
almost unchanged into the small intestines. The action of the
gastric juice upon the other constituents of the food is prevented, and
they undergo acetous fermentation. Hence, as Alcohol prevents the
digestion of albumen, it may prevent tuberculosis.-J. C. P.
In Peters' cases, the stomach presented various appearances. In
some drunkards the mucous membrane is perfectly white, but somewhat thickened, with distinct flat mamellonated elevations of small
size. My friend, Professor Middleton Goldsmith, was one of the first
to call attention to the fact that, when a large quantity of undiluted
spirits had been taken shortly before death thA stomach was often
found wrinkled, as if from the action of a powerful astringent; the
tops of the rugoe or wrinkles presented a punctated and vivid-rod
appearance, while the depressirns between them were blanched, as if
from the action of Alcohol, and the whole mucous membrane was
coated with a thick layer of white and very tenacious mucus. In
other instances, there were thickening and mamellonation of the
mucous membrane, with patches of slate-grey chronic inflammation,
upon which spots of punctated, starlike, or diffused haemorrhagio
effusion had supervened. In ten or twelve of the worst cases, in
which from three pints to two quarts of liquor had been swallowed,
within thirty-six or forty-eight hours betore death, we found extensive haemorrhagic effusion in a larger portion of the walls of the
stomach, with exudation of blood in large patches under the mucous
membrane.-J. C. P.
In Ogston's cases, the stomach was usually small or atrophied in
sixteen; highly congested in ten; false melanosis in two; softening
of the mucous membrane in two; hour-glass contraction in five; unusual thickening or hypertrophy in one; covered with copious mucopurulent secretion it! one.
Ogsten places much stress upon the unusually small size of the
stomach, altogether different from any mere state of emptiness or
natural contraction of the organ; in short, he regards it as such an
atrophy of the whole stomach as that viscus might have presented
had its growth been arrested in early life. Thus, in one case. the
stomach was only half the ordinary size; in a second, it was not
larger than that of an infant at birth; in a third, it barely exceeded
the diameter of the duodenum over the greater part of its extent;
and in the remainder it was unusually or remarkably small as compared with the rest of the intestinal tube,




ALCOHOL.


135


I feel confident, that there was no actual atrophy in many of these
oases. I have seen many cases in which a large quantity of pure
spirits had been taken, probably enough to cause death without the
aid of other causes, in which the stomach seemed unusually small,
from the powerful corrugating action of the Alcohol, but such stomachs could be easily stretched to their natural size. It is true,
however, that many habitual drunkards take very little solid food,
and 'hence, as the stomach is very rarely fully distended, it may
finally remain almost permanently contracted.-J. C. P.
Alcohol is homwopathic to many forms of irritation and congestion
of the stomach; it is a favorite remedy against dyspepsia from debility; it relieves many forms of nausea and vomiting, and may prove
homoeopathic to the morning-vomiting of pregnant women. It is also
homoeopathic to acidity of tho stomach and water-brash.-J. C. P.
According to our experience, about one dyspeptic in five can take
brandy with benefit, provided it is employed in a very dilute form,
and is drank during dinner. As a general rule, it will disagree with
dyspeptics of a bilious temperament, while those who are nervous or
lymphatic will be able to use it with impunity, and, occasionally, with
advantage.-J. C. P.
BOWELs.-The small bowels generally partake of the chronic irri.
tation and congestion which obtain in the stomach; but the symp.
toms do not all arise from chronic inflammation, but from the influence of the altered chyme which comes down from the stomach,
altered composition of the bile, imperfection in the nutrition in
general, and of the composition of the blood. Hence, after death,
the small bowels may appear nearly healthy. But, in higher grades
of alcoholismus, there will be more or less difficulty of digestion, colicpains, flatulence, persistent constipation, or alternations with diarr
hoea, with puttylike, globular, blackish, or light grey fasces, or con
stant diarrhea, with bilious discharges, or like clay dissolved in
water, or slimy or bloody matters.
A large quantity of pure Alcohol also reaches the duodenum,
mixes with the bile, which loses its alkaline properties, and can no
longer be precipitated into insoluble flocculi by the addition of the
acid chyme, as is normally the case; in the natural state, this insoluble precipitate from the bile is not reabsorbed, but is cast out of
the body with the faeces; in drunkards, however, no such precipitate
ensues, the bile remains fluid and unchanged by the chyme, and a
large portion of it is reabsorbed. Hence the bilious disorders in
topers, and the frequent occurrence of jaundice. Large quantities of
acid chyme and imperfectly digested food pass along the small




136


ALCOHOL.


intestines, and even reach the coecum and colon, when they also
undergo a farther acetous fermentation. Hence the sour eructations,
colic from acidity, irritation and flatulence, and the dyspeptic troubles
of drunkards.
The small bowels, in Peters' cases, were literally filled with bile,
and their mucous membrane thickly coated with a very tenacious
mucus. In eight or ten of the worst cases, numerous and extensive
patches of haemorrhagic effusion were found, with copious exudation
of blood in and beneath the mucous membrane.--J; C..P.
Ogston found unusual contraction of the intestines in six cases;
softening of the mucous coat in two; enormous distention in two;
atrophy in one case, the bowel being attenuated and translucent;
congestion of the duodenum in one.
It is quite homoeopathic in diarrhoeas proceeding from an atonic
condition of the mucous membrane of the intestines, and from chronic
inflammations of this structure. It likewise proves curative in diarrhoeas caused by slight irritation of the mucous coat, in consequence of
colds, improper food, &c.
OMENTUM.-The appearance of this organ was generally very pecu
liar; it was usually equally filled with an ashy-grey slushy fat, but
no large masses or lumps of fat were met with. Our attention was
first called to this sign in Vienna; it is there regarded as so charac
teristic that a cadaver was often judged to be that of a confirmed
drunkard, from a glance at the omentum when the abdomen is first
laid open.--J. C. P.
In Ogston's cases, the omentum was loaded with fat in four, coincident in all with abundant subcutaneous fat; in two with fat around
the heart; in one with conversion of the vermiform appendages into
large fatty masses.
MESENTERY.-This was always loaded with a thick layer of whitish
yellow fat.
LIVER AND PORTAL SYSTEM.-Alcohol rarely or never causes acute
inflammation of the liver in temperate climates; but it often causes
congestion, attended with jaundice; also enlargement.
The blood which returns from the intestines into the portal-system
and liver is more or less mixed with Alcohol, imperfect bile, and
other undigested and impure matters; hence the abdominal venous
plethora and subsequent affections of the liver. As much bile is
returned to the liver, it is doubtless resecreted from it again with
great rapidity; hence, among other causes, the large quantity of bile
which is usually found in the gall-bladder and small bowels. Abdo
minal dropsy only occurs in drunkards after the liver has been dis

eased, indurated, or granulated for a long time. It is apt to remain
isolated, or unassociated with general dropsy; even the feet and legs
are not apt to swell. The contrast between the distended abdomen
and emaciated extremities is very striking in this form of dropsy.
In Peters' cases the liver in moderate drinkers was found a.little
larger than natural, somewhat softened, and its external surface
dotted with whitish patches of fatty infiltration, which extended but
two or three lines into the parenchyma; the color of the rest of the
organ was of a rather darker red than natural, and the edges retained
their normal sharpness. In excessive drinkers the liver was considerably larger, the edges more obtuse, and the patches of fat larger
and more numerous. In old habitual drunkards the liver was very
large, weighing at least six or eight pounds, and often ten or twelve;
the edges were very thick and much rounded; the parenchyma
almost white with fat, soft, fragile, and the peritoneal covering
could be torn off in large pieces with great ease. Granular liver was
found in four or five cases only; and gall-stones only twice.-J. C. P.
Ogston found the liver enlarged in thirty-two cases; granular
in fourteen; nutmeg liver in thirteen; fatty liver in twenty-four.
Cirrhosis was only present in five cases out of one hundred and
seventeen.
Alcohol is homoeopathic to enlargement of the liver, fatty condition
of this organ, and to the nutmeg and granular liver; also to biliousness and jaundice; and the ascites from  disease of the liver.J. C. P.
SPLEEN.-Although the spleen, in those who die of delirium
tremens, is generally enlarged, soft, and brittle, and swells more
rapidly and considerably when drunkards are attacked with intermittent fever, still no actual alterations of structure take place during
the course of alcoholismus-chronicus, neither are there any symptoms
referable to this organ.
In Peters' cases this organ presented but few characteristic
alterations. It generally retained its normal size, but was somewhat
congested and softened. Occasionally it was rather larger than natural, but, as a rule, the small size of the spleen contrasted strongly
with the very great size of the liver.-In Ogsten's cases the spleen
was indurated or hcpatized in ten; enlarged in two; atrophied in
one; softened in one. It was softened in fifteen per cent. of the cases,
and hypcrtrophied in eighteen per cent.
KIDNEYS.-Pain and sensitiveness in the region of the kidneys are
apt to arise after a debauch, when the urine may also contain albumen, or the serum of the blood, owing to a transient but decided




138


ALCOHOL.


congestion. At. times the urine also contains the coloring matter of
the bile, viz., when there is congestion or chronic disease of the
liver; or an excess of phosphates or urates, especially when the
liver is indurated; or it may become alkaline when symptoms of
paralysis arise. Drunkards are particularly apt to get disease of the
kidneys when they are attacked with relapsing fever and ague, or
chronic rheumatism.
In Peters' cases the kidneys were generally somewhat enlarged,
flabby, their cortical substance infiltrated in numerous small spots,
with a whitish, fatty, or albuminous substance; occasionally they
were granular; the pelvis and ureters were generally in a state of
chronic, slate-grey inflammation.-J. C. P.
In Ogsten's cases there was general fatty degeneration in one;
congestion in four; sometimes coincident with nutmeg liver and albuminous urine; enlarged in thirteen; atrophied in one; buff-colored,
with atrophy of the cortical portion in four; with albuminous urine
in five.
BLADDER.-In Peters' cases the bladder generally presented no
unusual appearance; but in four or five of the worst cases there was
a state of haemorrhagic exudation, which rivalled in extent and severity that which has already been described as occurring in the
stomach and bowels. When drunkards become weak or partially
paralytic, the bladder will partake of the debility of the rest of the
system.-J. C. P.
In retention of urine from paralysis of the bladder, bathing the
hypogastric region with Alcohol, and allowing it to evaporate, is
occasionally useful.
LUNGS.-In Peters' cases these were generally not much diseased;
at least, dyscratic organic disease of them, directly attributable to
Alcohol, was not often met with. Congestion of the lungs was very
common. Where large quantities of spirits had been taken shortly
before death, the lungs were often found in a state of splenization;
they appeared perfectly saturated with dark blood, which soon
changed to a florid red on exposure to the air, except that which
flowed from the large severed vessels, for this remained thick, dark,
and tar-like. The parenchyma of the lungs was heavy and semi-solid
to the feel, and somewhat softened, as the finger could easily be
forced through it. The bronchi were almost always found reddened,
somewhat dilated, and more or less filled with catarrhal secretions.
Dr. Peters feels obliged to call particular attention to the infrequency
of phthisis in drunkards; in the seventy cases, he never met with a
tubercular abscess, even of the smallest size, while a small numbei

of chalky or obsolete tubercles was frequently noticed; and cicatrices were also occasionally found, marked by the presence ot
puckering of the surface of the lungs, of solid lumps or stripes, which
were readily felt before the lung was cut into, and, when this was
done, they were found to consist of masses or stripes of callous
fibrous tissue, around which were rarely discovered a few discrete,
grey, crude, small, tubercular granulations.   In every instance,
these appearances were strictly confined to the upper third of the
superior lobes, and all the rest of the lungs was entirely free from
either recent or old tubercular disease.-J. C. P.
Ogsten also says that, so far as his one hundred and seventeen
cases go, his observations bear out the correctness of the now commonly-received opinion as to the comparative immunity of drunkards
from tubercular affections.
In Barclay's report of the fatal cases of disease of the brain, occurring during the last four years in St. George's Hospital, in ten fatal
cases of delirium tremens, tubercles were found in the lungs in six
cases, once recent, and five times in the form of a cretaceous mass.
In seventy-three of Ogsten's cases, there was effusion into the
pleura in three cases; adhesions of the lungs in twenty-five cases;
emphysema in twenty-one cases; tubercles, and those latent, in only
ohe case. Ogsten says that the additional labor thrown upon the
lungs, when Alcohol has entered the circulation, after its absorption
and the retardation which takes place under these circumstances of
their functional activity from this cause, as well as by the toxical
effects of the Alcohol on the medulla-oblongata, will alone go far to
account for the frequency of morbid changes in these organs in
drunkards; still, there can be but little room for hesitation in attributing many of these morbid changes, in part at least, to other causes,
such as exposure to cold. Ogsten places much stress upon the
frequent occurrence of emphysema in drunkards; and emphysema,
it is well known, almost excludes tubercles. The emphysema of
drunkards is supposed to arise from a lax or flabby, non-contractile
or debilitated state of the lungs, as it never occurs unaccompanied
by pulmonary collapse, or by one or the other form of pulmonary
atrophy. There is probably a fatty degeneration, or some similar
defective nutrition of the tissues of the lungs.
SKIN.-In the earlier stages of drinking, the skin is soft, velvety,
and much disposed to perspiration; gradually this changes, and
finally it becomes dry, rigid, thick, dirty, or yellowish grey, and a
variety of eruptions are apt to break out, especially eczema and
prurigo. Varices and ulcers of the legs also occur, but the lattel

may also be caused by eczema, erysipelas, accidental injuries, &c.,
but they are always difficult to heal, and frequently break out afresh.
The cellular and adipose tissues undergo various changes; at first
they are generally the seat of a larger or smaller quantity of greasy
greyish-white fat, which is deposited partly under the skin, partly
between the muscles, and partly in the omentum, and in various
portions of the abdomen. In the latter stages, this is reabsorbed,
and emaciation occurs; then we find a gelatine-like mass under the
skin, followed by serous exudations and anasarca, or an excessive
degree of emaciation.

Lampadius, in 1796, while distilling a mixture of pyrites and

equivalent of Carbon and two of Sulphur. It is a transparent, colorless, volatile, and inflammable liquid, with a very pungent taste and
peculiar odor, somewhat ethereal, and yet partaking of that of sulphuretted hydrogen. It is insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol
and ether, and in the oils generally. Its solvent powers are remarkable, as it dissolves Sulphur and Phosphorus rapidly and in considerable quantities.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It may prove useful in some forms of
sick headache, especially when the pain commences in the forehead,
and extends to one or the other temples; also to scrofulous affections
of the eyes and lids; to twitching of the eyes and lids, such as
occurs in scrofulous, nervous, and verminous children. It is homoeopathic to some rheumatic and neuralgic affections of the face;
and,is also one of the most homoeopathic remedies to chronic pharyngitis, which is so often mistaken for chronic bronchitis; to irritation
of the pharynx, with much hawking and spitting, and gagging cough
from the irritation of an elongated uvula, especially when these
symptoms occur in bilious and dyspeptic subjects. It is homoeopathic to pyrosis and heartburn, and to various dyspeptic and bilious
derangements. It is homoeopathic to flatulence, bilious derangement,
bilious and flatulent colic, and congestion of the liver. It is one of
the few drugs which seem to exert a specific action upon the cecum.
It has cured a chronic diarrhoea, appearing every four or six weeks,
attended with colic, the evacuations being liquid, frothy, yellowish,

sour, and attended with tenesmus. It is homoeopathic to chronic irri.
tation of the pharynx and larynx, with constant desire to hawk and
spit, with hoarseness and short cough, and may prove homoeopathic
to the first stage of tubercular disease of the lungs; it may prevent
the tendency to irritation and congestion of the upper parts of the

RATIONALE OF ITS AcTIoN.-Onions contain an ethereal oil, which
is colorless, very volatile, of acrid taste and smell, and which causes




ALLIUM CEPA.


143


inflammation of the skin when applied to it; when this oil is burnt,
sulphurous acid is developed. Fourcroy and Vauquelin found Sulphur and Phosphorus in combination with this ethereal oil, and
which give rise to the peculiarly disagreeable onion odor; also an
abundance of uncrystallizable sugar, a mucilaginous substance resembling gum-arabic, free Phosphoric-acid, and Phosphate of Lime
Acetic-acid, Citrate of Lime, and Pectic-acid.
According to Dierbach, Onions are rarely used as a medicine,
although they have often been recommended as an article of diet to
dropsical persons, while the expressed juice, in teaspoonful doses,
sweetened with sugar, has been praised for the same purpose. Applied externally, they also exhibit a diuretic action, whence the
bruised bulbs have been used in the form of cataplasms over the ab.
domen in ascites. Consbruch and Jenner have recommended them in
spasmodic -ischury and strangury. Onions have been held to the
nostrils for the relief of hysteric cramps, and a decoction in milk
has been used as an injection against ascarides. But still more frequently their irritating properties have been called in play in order
to hasten the suppuration of abscesses, boils, buboes, either singly,
or in combination wiih Mustard, Soap, &c. The vapor of Onions
irritates the eyes, and causes lachrymation; when used in excess,
the peculiar odor of the Onions is exhaled from the skin, and, in one
instance, it was unmistakably detected in the pus of a fistula. Chil
dren and delicate adults cannot well digest raw onions; they are apt
to cause eructations, heartburn, and cramps of the stomach. Epileptics should avoid them; also those subject to seminal emissions.
Hippocrates was acquainted with the diuretic action of this plant,
and also recommended its external use against falling out of the hair.
In paralysis of the tongue, Celsus recommended the chewing of raw
Onions; Appollonius used the juice in deafness. Vogt recommends
them against infarctions of the abdominal organs; flatulence; chronic
catarrhal affections, with tough, glassy mucus; in diseases of the
urinary organs, gravel, dropsy, &c. Pereira says raw Onions are
occasionally taken as an expectorant, with advantage, by elderly per
sons affected with a winter cough. A roasted Onion is sometimes employed as an emollient poultice to suppurating tumors, or to the ear
to relieve the earache. The expressed juice has been given to
children, mixed with sugar as an expectorant. The large quantity of
Sulphur and Phosphorus which the volatile oil of Onions contains, renders them an applicable remedy in many lung-affections. Suzphur,
Graves says (see " Clinical Lectures"), will relieve chronic cough and
long-continued congestion of the bronchial mucous membrane.--It




144

would appear that Sulphur, when taken into the system, is eliminated
by the kidneys in the form of sulphates, or exhaled from the skin and
mucous membranes in the form of sulphuretted hydrogen, and in
this way we arrive at some explanation of its beneficial action in
diseases of the skin and chronic irritation of the bronchial mucous
membrane. In fact, paradoxical and homoeopathical as it may seem,
Sulphur, although evidently stimulating, is nevertheless very effica
cious in curing many diseases connected with, or depending on inflammation or congestion. Thus, what remedy gives such prompt and
certain relief in that painful affection, piles? How rapidly does that
specific irritation of the skin termed scabies, yield to its use! The
celebrated Hoffmann was in the habit of adding Sulphur to his cough
prescriptions in all cases of chronic bronchitis in the aged and debilitated, and Graves has no doubt that from five to ten grains of Sulphur, taken three or four times a day, is one of the best remedies in
chronic cough accompanied by constitutional debility and copious
secretion into the bronchial tubes; it has a tendency to produce
elevation of the pulse, increased heat of the skin, and sweating. It
is most homoeopathic when the cough arises form a peculiar tickling
or itching sensation about the throat-pit. Hering thinks that Onions
fill a chasm between Aconite and Ipecac.; that it is peculiarly useful
during many catarrhal epidemics; that it has a certain relation to
Chlorine and to Phosphorus, and that it may be successfully used
either before or after the use of Phosphor., or to complete, with greater
rapidity, cures which Phosphorus has left unfinished. It would be
more correct to assume that it has affinities with Sulphur and Phosphor. Hering thinks that, in children, it is suited to many affections
of the head and eyes; to catarrhs and constant discharges from the
nose; to sore throat, cough, rattling in the chest, colic, flatulence,
disorders arising from worms, and urinary difficulties. It will often
have to be aided by Iodine, Spongia, Sulphur, and Phosphorus. In
adults it is also suited to catarrhal affections of the head and eyes;
oppression of the chest, senile asthma, and the accompanying or alternating affections of the kidneys, bladder and urinary apparatus;
disorders of the stomach and bowels, flatulence, chilliness, &c. It
very closely resembles Assafoetida in its action.
A rather rare case of poisoning by Allium-cepa is reported in
Frank's Magazine: A     man, aged fifty years, of large frame, sanguine temperament, of regular habits, and always having enjoyed
excellent health, was attacked a quarter of an hour after having eaten
a raw Onion with his bread and butter at supper, with violent cutting
pain in the bowels, frequent urging to urinate, with ability to pass only

a few drops of scalding urine. Four hours later his physician found
him walking through his apartments in extreme anguish; at times
he would throw himself on his bed, complaining of constant violent
pain in the left lower half of the abdomen near the umbilicus, accompanied by the above-mentioned urinary difficulty, with constipation,
and violent thirst; his countenance had an expression of great anguish and despair; there was increased heat of the skin; pulse somewhat accelerated, full and hard. The pain in the abdomen was
increased by the slightest pressure. The contents of the stomach
were removed by an emetic, &c.
12.-ALLIUM SATIVUM.
ALIUM-SAT.-Common Garlic.
RATIONAL OF ITS AcTION.-The effects of Garlic on the system are
those of a general stimulant; it quickens the circulation, excites the
nervous system, promotes expectoration, produces diaphoresis or
diuresis, according as the patient is kept warm or cool, and acts upon
the stomach as a tonic and carminative. It is also said to be emenagogue; applied to the skin it is rubifacient and irritant. Moderately employed it is beneficial in enfeebled digestion and flatulence,
and is habitually used for this purpose by many who have no objection
to an offensive breath. It has been given with advantage in chronic
catarrh, humoral asthma, and other pectoral affections in which the
symptoms of inflammation has been subdued and a feeble condition of
the vessels remains. It is advised habitually and with great benefit in
such affections occurring in children, as well as in the nervous and spasmodic coughs, to which they are peculiarly liable. Some physicians
have highly recommended it in old atonic dropsies and calculous disorders; and it has been employed in fever and ague. It is thought
to be an excellent anthelmintic, especially in cases of ascarides, in
which it is given both by mouth and rectum. The juice, in doses of
a few drops, is said sometimes to check nervous vomiting. If taken
too largely, or in excited states of the system, it is apt to cause gastric
irritation, flatulence, hxmorrhoids, headache, and fever. Bruised
and applied to the feet, it is much used as a revulsive in disorders of
the head. It is especially useful in the febrile complaints of children,
by quieting restlessness and producing sleep. Bruised in oil, it is
often tried as a liniment in infantile convulsions, and other cases of
spasmodic or nervous disorders among children. It is also used to
resolve indolent.tumors, and in cases of cutaneous eruption. A clove

of Garlic, or a few drops of the juice introduced into the ear, are said
to be highly efficacious in atonic deafness. A Garlic poultice applied
above the pubes has sometimes restored action to the bladder in
cases of retention of urine from debility of that organ. Vogt says that
the acrid ethereal oil which exists in Garlic gives this remedy some
affinity with the empreuymatic ethereal oils, and renders it serviceable
in nervous and verminous diseases; still, he thinks, its principal action is upon the skin and mucous membranes. A decoction in milk is
used internally and in clysters against ascarides and lumbrici; it
is also employed against blenorrhoeas of the lungs, genital organs, and
bowels; in diseases of the urinary organs, such as gravel and dropsy.
Dierbach thinks that Garlic acts more upon the skin, and Onions
upon the kidneys. According to Medberg, Garlic is very injurious
to consumptive and bilious persons, and those suffering with hoematuria.-According to Merat and Delens' " Dict. Univ. de Mat. Med.,"
Vol. I., p. 189: " It sharpens the appetite, stimulates the stomach, facilitates the digestion, and expels flatulence;" and according to them
it is an excellent remedy for phlegm. " Pounded Garlic has been
applied to the skin on account of its stimulating properties in paralytic or rheumatic diseases; in about two hours after its application
it will draw a blister like a mustard plaster." Murray furnishes the
following sketch of the empirical uses of this drug: The anthelmintic and febrifuge properties of Garlic were known even to Plinius
and Dioscorides, and have since been verified by a number of physicians of the highest rank. Rosenstein, Taube, and the English
physician Bisset, have even expelled teenia with Garlic. According
to Laurembergius and Lind, Garlic is not only a preventive of
"scurvy, but a real specific for this disease. Celsus and Dioscorides
recommended it in old chronic coughs, accompanied by dyspnoea and
a profuse expectoration of ropy phlegm. In accordance with this
recommendation it was used with success by Mead, Rosenstein, and
even Murray. Rosenstein relates that, by means of Garlic, he suc
ceeded in stopping a chronic cough, with general prostration and excessive emaciation. Three similar cases were cured by Teste.-J. C. P.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-In intermittent fevers, Garlic is a
highly esteemed Hindoo remedy. It is, or was also, formerly employed in Europe. Bergius speaks highly of its virtues; he commenced with one clove, night and morning, and increased the quantity until four or five were taken at a dose.
The quantity of Sulphur which Onions and Garlic contain make
them useful in many cutaneous complaints.
Teste recommends Allium-sat. very highly in diabetes-mellitus, a#

a palliative. It has been used in retention of urine, in dropsy, and
gravel. It would seem somewhat homceopathic to Bright's disease.
In calculous diseases and ulceration of the bladder, Bransby Cooper
relates a severe case, treated by Mr. Cline, in which, after a variety
of remedies had been employed in vain, Leek tea afforded the most
astonishing relief. Cooper has given it several times since, sometimes
with, at others without benefit.-J. C. P.
It is recommended in cases of erythematous angina, not preceded
by coryza, occasioned by a cold or by excesses at table, and attended
with a sticky feeling in the throat, with dryness, tickling, heat, and a
sense of rawness in the larynx, roughness of voice, hollow, dry, and
not very frequent cough, dry heat on the back of the hands, and
slight moisture in the palms, all of which symptoms generally come
on in the evening. In cases of chronic bronchial catarrh, with profuse mucous expectoration, without acute pains in the chest (especially in fat individuals). In cases of permanent dyspnoea of long
standing. In whooping cough, Dr. Dewees says he has never employed any remedy of equal service with Garlic in substance, to
relieve the cough of habit, which often remains after whooping cough;
he has used it repeatedly, and never seen it fail. A child, aged six
or seven years, may eat one-third of a clove daily, gradually increasing the quantity.-J. C. P.
Three cases of rheumatism of the hips were cured by Allium.

13.-ALOES.
ALOE.-AUg. Hom. Zeit., XX.-Duration of Action?
ANTIDOTES.-Vinegar, vegetable acids.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION. ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.-Aloes docs
not act specifically, either upon the nerves of sensation or motion; it
may possibly exert a secondary action upon the great sympathetic
nerve.
VASCULAR SYSTEM.-It acts far more specifically upon the vascular
system than upon the nervous; it may, however, act specifically
upon those parts of the great sympathetic nerve which accompany
the blood-vessels into every part of the system.
BLOOD.-It was once a common opinion that Aloes dissolved the
blood, or increased its fluidity. Lewis alleges that this is the condition of the blood drawn from persons who.are in the constant habit of
using Aloetics, although, according to Schwenke, it seems rather to
coagulate than dissolve the blood, when added to some which has
been drawn from a vein. It was also an old opinion that it proved
emenagogue, from its power of dissolving the blood, and hence
would be hurtful in scurvy, and in all haemorrhages proceeding from
a lax state of the blood and system. It is probable that Aloes acts
in the same way upon the venous system that Iron does upon the
arterial; they both diminish the quantity of fibrin in the blood, and
increase the quantity of blood-globules.-J. C. P.
FEVER.-Dierbach says it is a heating remedy, which readily
excites febrile symptoms in young persons, such as a quick pulse and
a troublesome sensation of warmth in the abdomen. The excited
state of the portal system, which it so readily causes, may, in some
cases, extend to the whole venous side of the circulation, and congestion, to the head and chest, but especially to the abdomen may arise,
attended with unpleasant heat, anxious feelings and throbbings, with
increased sensitiveness and distention of the abdomen, frequent
stools, mixed with blood, or bloody stools with violent abdominal




150


ALOES.


pains, piles, severe distress in the kidneys, hot, scanty urine, with
burning while urinating, and pain in the back. Harnisch says, in
very sensitive and plethoric persons it may cause an excited state of
the whole vascular system, so -that the pulse becomes fuller and
harder, the mouth dry with thirst, scanty discharge of red urine,
increased warmth in the abdomen, throbbing and aching in the
region of the liver, congesti)n to the head and chest, with oppression
and anxiety, bleeding from the lungs, and apoplexy.-J. C. P.
HEMOARRHAGES.-Aloes is particularly apt to excite hemorrhagies,
especially and more frequently from the haemorrhoidal vessels an.d
the womb; occasionally from the kidneys and bowels, and rarely
from the stomach, lungs, and head...
LIvER.-Aloes has been supposed to act upon the liver from time
immemorial. Aloe bilem   rubrum  expellit (Rhazes). Aloe ad infernis intestinum bilem ducit (Areteus). According to Sigmond,
its influence upon the liver is marked by the particular composition of the evacuations, the color and odor of which, and their peculiar pungent effect on the rectum, prove that an increased quantity of
bile has been poured out. Wedekind assumes that the operation of
Aloes upon the bowels depends upon an increased secretion of bile,
excited by its specific action on the liver, and asserts that, as long as
the stools are white or grey in jaundice, Aloes will not purge, even
in large doses, while the purgative effect supervenes as soon as the
faecal matters contain bile. When there is an excess of bile, it is apt
to cause bilious dysentery and hepatitis. Vogt says that it exerts a
special action on the liver, and tends more to the restoration of a
checked secretion of bile than any drastic purgative. Antyllus
counts it among the remedies which evacuate yellow bile. It causes
aching and tension, and uneasiness in the region of the liver, bilious
papescent stools, with heat of the whole body, while the evacuations
are not watery and copious, but faecal and bilious, and emit a peculiar putrid smell.--J. C. P.
VENA-PORTA.-Another class of physicians think that Aloes acts
primarily and specifically upon the portal system, and assume that
its influence upon the liver and bowels is secondary to this. That
it acts upon the vena-portarum is fairly to be deduced, from the very
peculiar state into which the hmemorrhoidal vessels are thrown by the
congestions which so rapidly occur after a dose of this drug has been
taken. Wedekind says it exerts a specific stimulant action on the
venous system of the abdomen and pelvis, and hence causes an increased secretion of bile, irritation about the rectum, and vascular
excitement of the sexual organs. It readily causes stagnation and

accumulation of blood in the abdominal vessels, and the various affections and consequences of plethora-abdominalis.-J. C. P.
ABDoMEN.-Pressure, tension, and heat in the region of the liver.
Fullness, heat, and distention of the abdomen. Beating, boring, and
stinging in the umbilical region. Diarrhoea, preceded by colic. Most
violent colics. Discharge of a large quantity of fetid flatulence.
Violent cutting pains in the abdomen.
BOWELS.-It is a specific purgative; for, when applied externally
to a blister, it will operate upon the bowels (Gerhard); tincture of
Aloes, put into a carious bone, has excited purging (Munro); an
Aloetic pill, applied to an issue, has had the same effect (Pereira);
also an Aloetic salve, rubbed upon the abdomen (Dierbach). Dr.
Heller injected a solution of half an ounce of socrotine Aloes in six
ounces of warm water into the jugular vein of a cow, which had suffered, for six days, with obstinate constipation and constant vomiting,
and had withstood all ordinary injections and purgative medicines;
the cow shivered immediately, followed by quickness of the pulse
and respiration for one hour; then succeeded frequent urgings to
stool, by which, however, only a small quantity of hard fmeces were
evacuated. The same procedure was repeated the next day, when
violent straining produced first the discharge of some dry dung, followed by profuse soft evacuations; the vomiting ceased, and appetite
and health soon returned.-The part of the bowels upon which it
operates by preference is a matter of dispute. Wood and Bache
think that it has a peculiar affinity for the large bowel, and acts
rather upon its muscular coat than upon the exhalent vessels. Cullen agrees to this, and asserts that it rarely or ever produces more
than one stool, which seems to be merely an evacuation of what may
be supposed to have been already present in the great intestine.
Hardly any dose under twenty grains will produce a liquid stool,
which effect is always attended with pain and griping; on the other
hand, the ordinary bulky and rather hard Aloes-evacuation may, in
innumerable instances, be constantly obtained from one to two grains.
The slowness of its effects has also been advanced by Lewis in
proof that it acts on the large rather than the small bowels; for Aloes
hardly ever operates under ten or twelve hours, and often not till
sixteen or eighteen, while even twenty-four hours may elapse. Finally, to be still more minute, Newman has conjectured that it acts
more especially upon the circular than upon the longitudinal muscular
fibres of the colon. Whether given in a large or small dose, it hardly
ever causes a copious evacuation, and an increased quantity does not
produce a corresponding cathartic effect. But these authors forget




152


ALOES.


its decided action upon the liver and bile. Its effects upon these
are.so distinct and characteristic that, when added to other purgatives, its peculiar operation do not take place until some hours after the
evacuations caused by the other purgatives have occurred, and the
Aloes-stools differ from them both in color and smell. It rarely or
never causes watery stools, but the dejections are always yellowish,
greenish, or blackish and slimy, and often emit a peculiar, offensive,
and almost putrid smell; the color and odor of the evacuations, together with their pungent effect on the rectum, prove that an increased quantity of bile has been poured out.-J. C. P.
It may cause emaciation, stricture of the rectum, and enteritis.
If its use be long continued, it causes dryness of the intestines,
rigidity of the niuscular coat of the bowels, especially of the colon
and rectum, in consequence of which obstinate constipation may ensue.
Very large doses may cause violent cutting abdominal pains, watery
and long-continued diarrhoea, tenesmus, and inflammation of the lower
portion of the alimentary canal. The faeces may be enveloped in a
thin pellicle of altered intestinal slime, or there may be discharges
of membranous-like pieces from the rectum, or very largerolled-up
pieces of intestinal mucus.
One of the most common effects of Aloes is irritation of the rectum, giving rise, in some instances, to hoemorrhoids. Cullen has
seen piles produced by large and frequent doses, with heat and irritation about the rectum, and tenesmus. Fallopius says, of one hundred persons, who had used Aloes freely as a purgative, at least
ninety became affected with a hemorrhoidal flux, which ceased when
their use was omitted.
URINARY ORGANS.-Strangury, flow of blood from the kidneys;
burning while urinating; violent pains in the kidneys; hot, scanty
urine. Greenhow ascribes a diuretic effect to Aloes, and Moiroud
injected four drachms into a vein of a horse with no other effect than
producing the evacuation of a large quantity of urine. It has been
repeatedly noticed that when Squills and other diuretics failed to act,
the addition of a small portion of Aloes has speedily produced a copious diuresis.
GENITAL ORGANS.-It causes a determination of blood to the
womb, and fullness of its blood-vessels, especially the veins, and
thus uterine irritation and menorrhagia are apt to be induced or increased by it. Vascular excitement of the sexual organs, immoderate flow of the menses, racking pains in the loins, and labor-like
pains are frequently occasioned by it. Discharge of blood from the
urethra, drawing and burning pain in the sacral region. Burning

while urinating, aching and heaviness in the pelvis, erections and
pollutions, and excitement of the uterine vessels.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It has been used successfully in some
troublesome nervous affections, such as hypochondria, melancholy,
mania, cramps in the stomach, &c., when brought on by a suppression of the menstrual or haemorrhoidal discharges. Hceýmorrhoidal.
congestion of the spinal marrow is most common in the cervical portion-there is stiffness and drawing pain along the nape, with difficulty
of swallowing; when the dorsal portion is affected there is stiffness
of the arms, and compressing pain in the chest, which often amounts
to dyspnoea and asthmatic attacks. Many cases of hypochondria and
melancholy owe their origin to functional derangement of the liver.
Aloes, which exercises a specific action upon this organ, and promotes the bilious secretion, is quite homoopathic in instances of this
character. Among the phenomena accompanying this variety of hypochondria, we usually observe constipation, stools scanty, dry, and
clay-colored. Aloes rouses into action the torpid liver, promotes the
intestinal secretions, and thus regulates the bowels, restores the normal foecal discharges, and enables the nervous system to recover its
impaired tone.
Aloes is one of the most useful remedies against vicarious haemorrhages, such as occur from suppression of the menstrual or hbemor.
rhoidal discharges. I have several times removed hsematemesis from
suppression of piles or menstruation; also bleeding of the nose, and
bleeding from the lungs. It may prove useful in hsemorrhagic apoplexy, from suppression of one or the other of these discharges, and
should be borne in mind in all these vicarious haemorrhages.--J. C. P.
Haemorrhages occurring in chlorotic patients are often permanently
removed by the use of Aloes. The following symptoms are especially characteristic: Emaciation, pale and waxen countenance, uterine irritation, irregular menstruation, leucorrhea, heat and irritation
in the rectum, hoemorrhages from the nose, throat, lungs, and rectum,
obstruction of the portal circulation, large secretion of urine, active
sexual feelings.
In apoplexy and other cerebral affections, Aloes is a valuable
remedy, especially when these affections arise from a suppression of
the menstrual or haemorrhoidal discharges. Irregular haemorrhoidal
congestion to the head, with the attendant redness and heat of the
face, illusions of vision, and threatened apoplexy, may be removed
by Aloes. Serious affections of the head have sometimes disappeared
on the occurrence of a hmmorrhoidal flux, and therefore, in persons
who have been subject to this discharge, but in whom it has ceased,

it may be advisable to attempt its reestablishment, with a view of
relieving other and more serious disorders. In hcemorrhoidal congestion of the brain, often the patient complains of dizziness, great
heaviness and confusion of the head, and the choroid coat is blue
with congestion; illusions of sight, such as sparks, flies, and sliderfeet, before the eyes, and an approach to amblyopia-amaurotica;
from time to time, severe turns of vertigo set in, so that the patient
becomes much agitated, and supposes that he is attacked with apoplexy; the attacks are more severe in hot weather, and when constipation is present.-J. C. P.
A few drops of a watery infusion of Aloes, put into the ears, and
a teaspoonful, night and morning, of the simple tincture of Aloes,
with Liquorice, has removed the most obstinate deafness, loss of
smell, and congestion to the head. In hcemorrhoidal congestion to
the head, noises in the ears, illusions and hardness of hearing are
not uncommon.
Aloes is homoeopathic to many cases of what may be called bilious
sore throat-i. e., when the irritation of an excess of bile in the
system causes more or less irritation in the pharynx. Many cases
of catarrhal, rheumatic, or inflammatory sore throat, occurring in
very bilious persons, often require an intercurrent dose of Aloes to
remove the bilious derangement, before the other symptoms will
yield to the usual remedies.
It has been recommended in derangements of digestion, depending
upon debility of the muscular fibres of the stomach and bowels;
against abnormal secretion of mucus, acid, or gas; in anorexia, dyspepsia, flatulent distention, and painful aching in the region of the
stomach, with acid, rancid eructations, sluggish digestion, constipation, especially when these disorders occur in bilious and hypochondriacal subjects. Its bitterness is said to render it an admirable
stomachic, which promotes both appetite and digestion; some think
that it regulates the due secretion of the gastric juice, while the
ancients termed it the anima ventriculi.-J. C. P.
Waring recommends it in dyspepsia, occurring in persons of a
relaxed habit, or in those who have been debilitated by long illness,
particularly if there is reason to believe that the duodenum is implicated. It doubtless acts specifically upon the portal portion of the vascular system of the stomach. It is the best remedy in hcemorrhoidal
congestion of the stomach and spleen, when there is congestion and enlargement of the spleen; when pressure on the enlarged spleen causes
difficulty of breathing in the left side of the chest; when there are
pains in the spleen, following the course of the vasa-brevia, sour eruc

tations, heartburn, or sour vomiting; when there is distention of, and
pain in the stomach, with sensation as if a warm fluid had been poured
out into it, followed by vomiting of blood. In mild cases of dyspepsia, accompanied by an excess of the gastric secretions, water-brash,
tasteless or bitter eructations, and heartburn, Aloes, in a nonattenuated form, often proves beneficial. It has also been employed
with success in indigestion caused by a lack of the bilious secretion.
Against slight functional derangements of the liver, Aloes is an
excellent remedy. The symptoms for which it is particularly indidated are: Irregular secretion of the bile, the stools sometimes containing an excess, and at other times a deficiency of this fluid; heat,
fullness, and pressure in the hepatic region; dull pains in the liver;
lassitude, drowsiness; yellowish tinge of the skin; feeble appetite;
depression of spirits.
It is one of the most homceopathic remedies against plethora-abdominalis; also against many forms of bilious and venous congestive
colics; also against many hremorrhoidal and congestive colics. In
hcemorrhoidal congestion of the duodenum and malcena, often there is
a peculiar cutting or aching pain about the navel, aggravated a few
hours after eating; the umbilical region is apt to be distended and
rather hard, the bowels constipated, and the faces as if burnt; there
is also are markable pallor of the external surface, coldness of the
limbs and hands, and a peculiar pale-yellow, earthy color of the face;
finally, there is a sensation as if a warm fluid had been poured out
about the navel, the abdomen swells more and more, with a doughy
or mushy sensation to touch; the more the abdomen becomes disturbed the greater is the pallor of the skin; the pulse becomes small,
weak, and trembling, the extremities cold, the features shrunken; finally, black tar-like passages take place, with much straining.-J. C. P.
Aloes is one of the most homoeopathic remedies against bilious
diarrhoea and dysentery; it is also far more useful in hoemorrhoids
than Nux or Sulphur. According to Dr. Belcher, it is indicated in
hcenorrhoidal dysentery when the patient is restless and anxious, the
face flushed, tormina troublesome, and tenesmus vehement, the evacuations being dark-green in color, or bloody, with offensive mucus;
when the abdomen is puffed up, the lungs oppressed, with frequent
inclination to breathe deeply, and the pulse frequent.   Also in
dysentery in pregnant females, or those suffering with uterine congestion; or when it attacks emaciated persons, especially children,
with distended abdomens and tendency to marasmus.
Tilt says he has never seen haemorrhoidal affections caused by
Aloes, but he has often seen them relieved by it, and his experience




156


ALOES.


is corroborated by that of Giacomina, Avicenna, and Stahl.    In
former times, Aloes was regarded as the sacra anchora in the cure
of h.emorrhoids of ari asthenic character, although it produces active
congestive piles. At times the moliminae-haemorrhoidaliae pass over
into flowing piles under the use of Aloes, while at others they cease
without any discharge having been produced. Under the latter circumstances, Harnisch conjectures that the tonic and stimulating
effects of the Aloes removes the debility of the vessels upon which
the premonitory signs of piles has depended; i. e., that the tendency
to active congestion, produced by the Aloes, overcomes the passive
stagnation of blood which previously existed. Loeseke asserts that
if Aloes be given before the accustomed flow of piles comes on, the
flux will ensue; but, on the other hand, if given while they are
flowing, a stoppage will be effected.-J. C. P.
It has often proved useful in hcemor'rhzoidal afectzons of the kidney
and bladder, when there is pain in one or both sides of the lumbar
region, drawing pains along the ureters, towards the bladder, with
scanty secretion of urine, and those derangements of the stomach
which always attend kidney-affections, such as gastralgia, with good
appetite, and vomiting soon after eating. These symptoms may increase until nephritic colic ensues, the pains are exceedingly severe,
the abdomen is retracted, vomiting occurs, the urine is suppressed,
until, finally, a quantity of dark blood red urine is passed. When
the bladder is more particularly affected, there are periodical, violent,
and contracting pains in the neck of the bladder, especially while
urinating; when the pains are very severe, entire retention of urine
may occur, or when any water is passed it is only in drops or jets,
never in a full stream; the pains continue after urination, and
extend over the pubis; the patients can neither sit in comfort or
assume any position in which the perinseum is pressed upon; at
first the urine is not altered in quality, but finally blood is passed;
sometimes the urine is mixed with a large quantity of tough, ropy
mucus.   Harnisch says that aching in the region of the kidneys,
with scanty discharge of hot urine, or tenesmus of the bladder from
venous congestion of it, will often give way before the use of Aloes.
It is homceopathic to hcemorrhoidal afections of the uterus, in which
there is aching in the region of the womb, pressing-down pain, with
some prolapsus, varicose swellings about the neck of the womb, and
in the vagina, with discharges of blood during the menstrual intervals; these discharges consist of a dark, pitch-like substance, and
have a different odor from that of menstrual blood; either before or
after these haemorrhages there may be a discharge of tough greenish

157


leucorrhoea, with the peculiar odor of hoemorrhoidal mucus. By restoring the hsemorrhoidal secretion, Aloes will often relieve the sensations of aching and weight on the pelvis, the erections, pollutions,
and tenesmus, which are often felt as premonitory symptoms of piles.
Eberlec says that Aloes, given in small but frequent doses, deserves
to be accounted the best remedy we possess for those protracted, exhausting, and obstinate hemorrhages from the uterus which occur in
women of relaxed, nervous., and phlegmatic habits about the critical
period of life. In amenorrhoea, it is, perhaps, more frequently employed than any other remedy in the dominant school, entering into
almost all the numerous empirical preparations which are habitually
resorted to by females, and enjoying a no less favorable reputation in
ordinary practice. Schoenlein recommends the injection of a solution
of ten grains of Aloes in a small quantity of warm fluid, to be thrown
into the rectum at the period when the catamenia should occur. He
states that its action is more certain than that of any other emenagogue. Dr. Atwell has used it in this way with decided advantage.
Aloes will often prove serviceable in hcemonrrhoidal affections of
the chest, when there are more or less of the signs of congestion of
the lungs-viz, aching upon one or both sides of the chest, difficulty
of breathing, cough, with expectoration of but little mucus, no fever,
but lividity of the face, lips, cheeks, and tongue, followed by more or
less haemoptysis.-J. C. P.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Congestion of blood to the head, chest,

14.-ALUMEN.
ALUM.-Sulphate of Alumina and Potash. Alum.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-This is a compound of Alumina, 10.92;
Potash, 10.08; and Sulphuric-acid, 33.68, and in its action it partakes
of some of the properties of all these articles. It is generally supposed
to act very much like Sulphuric-acid, only somewhat less severely,
and more purely as an astringent. Others have compared its action
to that of Sulphate of Zinc, Acetate of Lead, Sulphate of Iron, &c.;
but it differs widely from all these. In common parlance, Alum is
said to be a purely and simple astringent remedy, but the Potash which
it contains also renders it somewhat of an alterative and deobstru"ent medicine. Besides, as all the Alums of commerce contain more
or less of Sulphate of Iron, varying from five to seven parts in a
thousand, it is also somewhat tonic and blood-improving in its action.
The immediate topical effect of a solution of Alum is corrugation of
fibres and contraction of small vessels, by virtue of which it checks or
temporarily stops exhalation and secretion, and produces paleness of
parts by diminishing the diameters of small vessels. It is by these
local effects that Alum, when taken internally, causes dryness of the
mouth and throat, somewhat increases thirst, checks the secretions of
the alimentary canal, and thereby diminishes the frequency and increases the consistency of the stools, as observed by Wibmer, when
taken in doses of three grains, dissolved in five drachms of water

several times a day. When taken internally, in moderate doses, it is
absorbed into the system, and has been detected in the liver, spleen,
and urine. Kraus. has noticed that the urine becomes remarkably
acid from the use of Alum. When taken in large quantities, the
astriction is soon followed by irritation, and the paleness by pre
tcrnatural redness; it may thus excite nausea, vomiting, gripirg,
and purging, and even an inflammatory condition of the alimentary
canal; effects which may sometimes be induced by small quantities
in persons endowed with unusual or morbid sensibility of the stomach and bowels. Barthez, from half-drachm doses, solved in one
ounce of distilled water, experienced a sense of contraction in the
stomach, lasting for a quarter of an hour, followed by acute aching
in the stomach. From one drachm doses, solved in two ounces of
water, he merely felt a more decided sense of contraction of the
stomach; his appetite was never disturbed, on the contrary he rather
thought that it was increased. From two and a half drachm doses
he felt an inclination to vomit, lasting for a quarter of an hour, but
no vomiting ensued; three drachm doses caused vomiting and constipation; the vomiting was easy and not preceded by much nausea.
Alum was detected chemically in his stools.-J. C. P.
PATHOLOGY.-From doses sufficiently large to cause death in
animals: The stomach was found filled with a large quantity of fluid;
its internal surface, throughout all its extent, was covered with a greyish substance, intermixed with greenish and bilious-looking particles;
the mucous membrane was extensively reddened or inflamed, especially in the greater cul-de-sac, which was dark brown in color; near
the pylorus there was an extravasion of blood, and the mucous
membrane was very red; the coats towards the pylorus were extraordinarily thick and hard, as if they had been tanned, and were very
firm under the knife; the walls of the small bowels were slightly
thickened, and coated with a yellowish-white granular substance;
the large bowels were filled with a greenish offensive fluid. As
Alum has been but little used by homoeopathic physicians, a large
portion of the clinical remarks must be derived from allopathic
sources; this is not to be regretted, because we take it for granted
that homoeopathists claim to know, not only all that is contained in
old-school writings ana experience, but a great deal more. Hence
we must take heed that our old-school brethren are not in possession
of new or old facts with which we are not acquainted.-J. C. P.
NERVOUS SYSTEM.-Alum is not supposed to act as prominently on
the nervous system as Sulphate of Zinc or Acetate of Lead.
Nerves of Motion.-It is said, from its action in lead and other




160


ALUMEN.


colics and in whooping cough, to be an antispasmodic; but Copland
thinks it cures lead colic by exciting the partially paralyzed muscular
coat of the bowels, and thereby enabling them to expel retained matters of a noxious description. Too little is known about its action
upon muscular fibres and nerves of motion to hazard any decided
opinion. Among the symptoms enumerated by Fournier, in the case
of a lady who had taken a large quantity of Alum, we find " slight
convulsive movements." Orfila also alludes to a similar case.-J. C.P.
Nerves of Sensation.-It is not known that Alum acts specifically
upon any of the nerves of sensation.
Ganglionic Nerves.-It is generally supposed that the action of
Alum upon the nervous system is confined to the ganglionic nerves;
it may be propagated thence to the vascular system, as these nerves
follow the blood-vessels into every part of the human frame.
HEART AND ARTERIES.-The especial action of Alum upon the
heart and arteries, apart from its astringent action, has not not been
particularly investigated.
VENOUS SYSTEM.-Alum is supposed to exert not only a blood.
coagulating, but also an antiseptic power on the venous blood. By
astriction of the capillaries it may impede the return of blood from
the arteries, and thus operate upon the venous system.
CAPILLARY SYSTEM.-This seems to be the great field of the action
of Alum. It exerts an astringent effect upon the capillaries of all
the mucous and serous surfaces, upon the lymphatic and blood-conveying vessels; hence it moderates or checks all profuse mucous
fluxes arising from atony of the parts; and by exerting a tonico-astringent action upon the tone of the vessels, it prevents passive hoemorrhages, and even opposes the tendency to liquefaction and putrefaction of the organic mass when such is in operation.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND GLANDULAR SYSTEM.-It is not known
whether Alum exerts any specific and peculiar action upon these
systems apart from its tonic and astringent action.
FEVER.-Notwithstanding. that Alum causes dryness of the tongue,
mouth, and throat, similar to that which obtains in typhus and typhoid
fever, it still has been strongly recommended in those diseases by
Fuster, Fouquier, Dobler, and Skoda. The two former recommend
it in the second stage of abdominal typhus, when, in consequence of
ulceration of the abdominal mucous membrane and of its glandular
apparatus, there are ichorous, offensive, and blood-mixed loose stools.
In 1838, Drs. Dobler, Skoda, Herz, and Folwarenzy placed their sole
reliance upon it; many hundreds of cases have been treated and
saved by it.-J. C. P.

CLINICAL REMARKS.-In dilatation of the heart, and aneu.
rism of the aorta, Alum has been advised by Kreysig and Dzondi.
Sundelin also mentions a case of supposed dilatation of the heart, in
which relief was gained by the use of Alum.
The value of Alum   in menorrhagia and hmamaturia has been
already considered under the appropriate heads. In purely atonic
haemoptysis it likewise proves serviceable. Dr. Theophilus Thompson considers that it is one of the best direct astringents that can be
employed, and thinks it acts more efficiently when allowed to dissolve
in the mouth than when taken in mixture. In atonic hzematemesis,
Alum thrice daily in combination with Opium has proved serviceable, although'it is of inferior efficacy to the Acetate of Lead.
In haemorrhage from leech-bites, in that from the gums after the extraction of a tooth, and in other superficial bleedings, a saturated
solution, or the powder of Alum, locally applied, is often an effectual
styptic. In hoemorrhages, whether proceeding from an exhalation or
exudation from the extremities, or pores of the minute vessels, or
from a rupture of a blood-vessel, a solution, or, in some cases, the
powder of Alum, may be used with advantage to temporarily constringe the capillary vessels, and close their bleeding orificcs.--J.C.P.
It has been used successfully in a peculiar form of mental alienation, in which the patient plagues his family contiaually, keeps his or
her bed almost entirely, without apparent necessity, has an appearance of embonpoint from general bloating, but a sickly and sallow
complexion, with burning down the cesophagus, tenderness over the
stomach, cough, and insupportable pain near the left groin or ovary.
Under the use of Alum, the patient will soon leave his bed, become
rational and affectionate towards his family, and attend to his duties.
In profuse atonic epistaxis, the injection of a solution of Alum into
the nostrils often proves effectual in arresting the discharge. It is
frequently also applied by means of a plug soaked in a saturated
solution, and pressed up the nostril. Several cases of polypus of the
nose are reported as cured by simply snuffing up a solution of Alum.
Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, and snuffed into the nostrils,
has, in a few cases within my own knowledge, effected cures of
copious catarrhal discharges. As an application to nasal polypi, we
can vouch for its utility.
In purulent ophthalmia, a collyrium of Alum is a useful cleansing
application. In the severer forms, a saturated solution of Alum,
dropped into the eye, is occasionally of great service. In the purulent ophthalmia of Egypt, Clot Bey found great benefit from dropping
into the eye a saturated solution of Alum and Sulphate of Zinc. Dr

Rognetta speaks highly of its value. In the ophthalmia of India,
commonly known as country sore eye, Waring speaks from experience
of the efficacy of the following native preparation: Place some
finely powdered Alum on a heated plate of iron, and whilst the salt
is in a state of fusion, add a small portion of lemon or lemon-juice,
until it forms a soft black mass. This, while hot, is placed entirely
round the orbit, taking care that none of it gets beneath the eye-lids,
as it causes under these circumstances intense agony. One or two
applications, each being allowed to remain on twelve hours, are sufficient in ordinary cases to effect a cure. In the ophthalmia of infants,
after the subsidence of acute inflammation, a colyrium of Alum is one
of the most serviceable applications which can be had recourse to.
Waring employed it with success in hundreds of cases. It has
also the recommendation of Ramsbottom, Lawrence, Pereira, &c. In
ophthalmia-tarsi, a similar colyrium is advised by Howard. In the
purulent ophthalmia of infants, it forms the most efficacious remedy
we possess. In these cases it is usually applied in the form of the
Alum cataplasm. In ecchymosis of the eye, an Alum poultice is an
effectual application. It is made by agitating a small piece of Alum
with the white of an egg, until it forms a coagulum. This is placed
between two pieces of linen rag, and applied to the eye for some
hours. In the latter stages of conjunctival inflammation it is often
proper. As regards topical applications to the eye, a certain amount
of judgment should be used. In the first stage of ophthalmia, it is
sometimes considered expedient to cut short the disease by the
application of a strong astringent solution. " It is not to be denied,"
says Dr. Jacob, " that such applications may have the effect of arresting the disease at once; but, if they have not that effect, they are
liable to produce an increase of irritation." But, as the details
necessary for making the student acquainted with all the circumstances respecting the application of stimulating or astringent applications, in the first stage of ophthalmia, are too lengthened and
numerous to admit of their proper discussion in this work, I must
refer for further particulars to the essay of Dr. Jacob's ("Cyclopadia
of Pract. Med.," art. Ophthalmia), as well as to the treatises of
writers on ophthalmic surgery. I may, however, add, that whatever
difference of opinion exists as to the propriety of these applications
in the first stage of ophthalmia, all are agreed as to their value after
the violence of vascular action has been subdued. In the treatment
of the purulent ophthalmia of infants, no remedy is perhaps equal to
an Alum wash. In purulent discharges from the ears, topical appli
cations of a solution of Alum are often serviceable. We have fre

quently seen chronic otorrhoea disappear under the use of injections
of Alum water. In affections of the mouth, involving a congested
state of the mucous membranes, much benefit is often derived from
the local application of Alum.-J. C. P.
In ulceration and sponginess of the gums, whether mercurial or
scorbutic, the lotion as for ulceration of the throat is found highly
serviceable. It should be used several times daily. To scorbutic
ulcers, very finely powdered Alum, in substance, may be applied. It
forms a useful astringent wash in certain states of mercurial sore
mouth, and is used with the best effect to, check profuse ptyalism,
whether from the abuse of Mercury or other causes. It is an excellent topical application, in the form of powder, in profuse haemorrhages after the extraction of teeth.
In catarrhal affections of the throat and fauces, Alum is highly recommended as a local application. In chronic cases, when the
mucous membrane is much- congested, and covered with mucus,,which gives rise to a troublesome cough, Alumr gargles afford great
relief and benefit. In ulceration.and relaxation of the throat, a solution of Alum in water, or decoction of Cinchona, proves a very useful
gargle for ordinary cases. It has been employed successfully as a
gargle in elongation and loss of contractile power of the uvula. As
an internal remedy in chronic ulcerations of the mucous membrane
of the throat and pharynx, it is a remedy of great value. We have
cured cases of this kind with small doses of Alum, after having been
baffled for months with other medicines, which at first appeared to be
more homoeopathic. Dr. Marcy says, he is acquainted with a number
of obstinate cases, which have been quite cured by the internal and
topical use of the Rockville Alum spring water of Virginia.
When confined in the stomach, Alum causes inflammation of the
entire mucous membrane, worse near the great cul-de-sac, where it is
of a deep brown color. The walls of the stomach are much thickened
at the pyloric extremity, and hardened as if tanned. The walls of
the small intestines are slightly thickened, and lined with a light
yellowish substance. Traces of Alum may be found in the stomach
long after it has been taken.
In catarrhal affections of the stomach, Sir J. Murray speaks in the
highest terms of Alum. In one aggravated case, attended with
pyrosis, a complete cure was effected by Alum in electuary. He
considers that it renders the mucous coats more firm, and restores
their tone and strength. He considers it especially useful in the
peculiar affection of the stomach, attended by the frequent vomiting
of a large quantity of glairy fluid. In prescribing Alum, it should

be remembered that the vegetable astringents decompose it, by
which the astringent property of the mixture is probably diminished
Alum was first given in colica-pictonum, by a Dutch physician
named Grashuis, and was afterwards, in 1774, used in fifteen cases
by Dr. Percival, with great success, and subsequently its efficacy was
fully established. It allays vomiting, abates flatulence, mitigates
pain, and opens the bowels, frequently when other powerful remedies
have failed. The modus operandi of Alum in lead colic is not very
clear, but the theory of its action is, that it converts the poisonous
salt of lead in the system into an innocuous sulphate, and in support
of this view must be mentioned the fact, that other sulphates (as
those of Magnesia, Soda, Zinc, and Copper), as well as free Sulphuricacid, have been successfully employed in the lead colic. But, on the
other hand, the presence of lead in the primoe-vise or evacuations has
not been demonstrated, though experiments have shown that when
the Acetate of Lead is swallowed, the greater portion of it forms an
insoluble combination with the gastro-intestinal mucus, and in this state
may remain some time in the alimentary canal. Alum has also been
found successful in other varieties of colic not caused by lead, and
unaccompanied by constipation. In large doses it acts as a purgative.
In abdominal typhus, which was epidemic in Vienna in 1838, chief
reliance was placed on the internal exhibition of Alum. Under
every phase of the disease-diarrhoea, delirium, and debility-it is
stated to have been equally beneficial. It was found particularly serviceable in checking the exhausing diarrhoea.-F. G. S.
In infantile cholera, Alum has been found to be signally successful.
Of sixty-seven cases treated with it by Dr. Diirr only seven died.
The ages of the children varied from the period of birth to fifteen
months. In chronic diarrhaa, and diarrhoea-mucosa, depending upon
a relaxed condition of the mucous intestinal membrane, Alum given
internally is often attended with great amelioration. Drs. Adair and
Harrison speak favorably of it in this class of cases. In chronic
dysentery, Alum was formerly held in high repute. It has been advised, variously combined, by Birnstiel, Lpos, Hunnius, Michaelis,
Hargens, &c. Moseley and Jackson employed it, and Adair found it
useful, combined with Opium and aromatics, in epidemic dysentery,
occurring among negroes.
Injections of Alum water, or of Alum whey, are very useful in the
copious and frequent hemorrhages which sometimes accompany piles
and abrasions of the mucous membrane of the rectum. Cases of this
kind now and then reduce patients to a very low and dangerous condition, and appear to resist all internal remedies. The astringent

and toughening effect of these injections have, in some instances,
arrested the bleeding promptly and permanently.
In prolapsus of the rectum, the injection of a solution of Alum
proves serviceable. It may also be used in painful bleeding piles,
when unattended by inflammation.
In hematuria, which resists the action of the Acetate of Lead and
other ordinary remedies, the injection into the bladder of a solution
of Alum is sometimes effectual in arresting the discharge; this, however, should not be had recourse to until it has been ascertained
that the bladder, and not the kidneys, is the seat of the disease. Dr.
Prout observes that he has never seen any unpleasant consequences
follow the use of this expedient; and that he has seen it arrest the
most formidable huemorrhage when all other remedies had failed,
and when the bladder had repeatedly become again distended with
blood, almost immediately after its removal. If, after the use of the
injection, coagulm remain in the bladder, they should be broken up by
repeated injections of cold water. Alum may be given internally at
the same time; although, as an internal remedy, it is less efficacious
than Gallic-acid. In catarrh of the bladder it is highly spoken of by
Sir J. Eyre. In diabetes, under the idea that the discharge might
be arrested by the use of powerful astringents, Alum, in combination
with other remedies of the same class, was advised by Dorer, Brocklesby, and others; but Dr. Brisbane satisfactorily proved that it was
incapable of arresting the disease. Kraus observes that the urine
becomes very acid from the use of Alum. It has been used successfully against incontinence of urine. In one case of irritable bladder,
in which the patient was obliged to pass urine every hour or two,
both by day and night, grain doses of the first trituration of Alum
every four hours effected a cure in six weeks.-F. G. S.
In gonorrhoea and gleet, the injection of a solution of Alum is
often productive of benefit. Dr. Friedrich, of Leipsic, also advised
its internal use, as well in the inflammatory as in the chronic stage.
He states, that under its use, all the symptoms subsided rapidly, and
that he never saw any ill effects from its employment. In obstinate
cases it may be advantageously combined with Cubebs. In gonorrhcea-preputialis, a weak solution of Alum, applied on lint to the part,
is generally effectual. In leucorrhcea, Alum, combined with Aloes,
proves highly serviceable. It is also sometimes used in conjunction
with Sulphate of Zinc. The decoction of Oak-bark often forms a
good vehicle. Dr. Burne found this solution most serviceable when
simply applied continuously to the external parts. Dr. Dewees states
that in some obstinate cases he has effected a cure by Alum and Ni-Lro

In menorrhagia and uterine haemorrhage, Alum internally has been
advised by Lentin, Miiller, Hufeland, Dewees, &c., and it often proves
effectual in controlling the discharge. Dr. Ferguson regards it as
a highly useful stypic, and advises it in small doses with syrup of Ginger, three or four times daily. In purely atonic cases, Alumin solution may be used as a vaginal injection. It is inadmissible if any inflammatory symptoms are present. In morbid growths and ulcera.
tions of the uterine cavity, or of the os-uteri, an Alum hip-bath and
vaginal injections are strongly advised by Drs. Lange and Ashwell,
and its utility is confirmed by Delmas, Recamier, and others. Care
should be taken that the fluid passes well up into the vagina. In
prolapsus-uteri the same measure is attended with the best effects.
Dr. Nevins also speaks highly of a pessary, composed of equal parts of
powdered gall and Alum, enclosed in a fine muslin bag. It has been
recommended internally and locally against hypertrophy, induration,
and excoriation of the womb. It will often cure obstinate ulcerated
buboes rapidly when applied locally.-F. G. S.
In angina-membranacea, called by Bretonneau, diphtheritis, great
importance has been attached to the employment of loca.l applications,
and, among others, to promote the expulsion of the false membrane,
he recommends the insufflation of finely powdered Alum. The most
effectual means of administration is in the form of an impalpable
powder, blown through a quill upon the affected part. It is recommended as an emetic in croup in preference to Antimony or Ipecacuanha. Prof. Meigs states that it acts more certainly and powerfully
than those medicines, and produces less prostration of the vital
powers. In various anginose affections Alum is found highly useful,
applied topically, either in powder or solution. When the affection
is attended with membranous exudation, its effacacy has been particularly insisted upon by Bretonneau, applied in solution prepared with
vinegar and honey for- adults, and in- powder by insufflation in the
cases of children. Yelpeau, in 1835, extended the observations of
Bretonneau, and has used Alum successfully, not only in simple inflammatory sore throat, but in, those,forms of angina dependent on
small-pox, scarlatina, &c:-F. G. S'.
In the chronic stage of whooping cough no remedy has proved
more efficacious than Alum, given in increasing doses. A very excellent formula is recommended by Dr. Golding Bird, in which he
combines it with Conium.
Alum is supposed to exert a sedative power in diseases of the
chest by J. Symons, London Lancet, March, 1844, p. 42.
Dr. Simm, of Ripon, first recommended Symonds to use it in whoop,

ing cough; he found it to answer his fullest expectations, thence led
to use it in other thoracic complaints. It evidently so changed the
expectoration as immediately to cause a copious discharge of mucus
from the bronchi, and finally checked the. superabundant secretion;
did not produce thirst or any unpleasant symptoms, and, so far from
aggravating the febrile state it often served materially to alleviate it.
It produced neither nausea, pain, nor constipation, while it sometimes relieved colic pains accidently present.--J. C. P.
In acute and chrpnic bronchitis, especially when expectoration was
ropy. Even in very acute bronchitis in children, with profuse secretion
of mucus. In the acute bronchitis of old persons, supervening upon
chronic morning cough. In whooping cough, to allay irritation, restrain inflammatory tendency, and diminish superabundant secretion.
In nervous asthma; in phthisis. In general it does not interfere
with expectoration; the first effect is usually a copious discharge of
mucus, followed by a diminution in quantity, without any oppression
of chest or other indication of improper interference with the secretion.-J. C. P.
In in-growing nails the local application of burnt Alum will often
effect a cure in three weeks, and that after extirpation of the nail
had failed; the nail must be raised up, so as to expose the whole of
the sore and ulcerated part, which must then be dried, and the Alum
applied; the crust formed by this application must be renewed every
day, and a fresh quantity applied.-F. G. S.
In rupia, Mr. Erasmus Wilson states that, in one very obstinate
case, he succeeded in healing the ulcerations, after other applications
had failed, by injecting a strong solution of Alum beneath the undermined edges. To the ill-favored ulcers left by ecthyma, he advises
the application of a solution of Alum, with or without Opium. To
flat nevi, Dieffenbach recommends the use of a compress of lint, to
be firmly bandaged on the morbid structure, and to be frequently
wetted with a solution of Alum. The lint should be disturbed as
little as possible, and the compression maintained, if necessary, for
several weeks. When the navus becomes white, flat, and firm, its
speedy cure may be expected. To chilblains, an Alum poultice is
stated to be an excellent application. It is only admissible in unbroken chilblains. To indolent and other ulcers, whether of the
skin or mucous membranes, Alum has been found serviceable. It is
particularly recommended by Dalmas. As it causes much irritation,
he advises it to be combined with Opium, and made into an ointment
with lard: used thus, it quickly determines the cicatrization of
ulcers. It occasionally gives rise to great irritation. To repress




168


ALUMEN.


the growth of fungous granulations, burnt Alum sprinkled over the
surface is very effectual.-F. G. S.
In intermittent fever,'Alum' was at one time much used, it having
been prescribed by Ettmuller, Lindt, Muller, and others. Lange
and De Haen recommend it with aromatics, or Sulphuric-acid, or
Ether, and Adair with Cinchona. It is rarely used at the present
day.-F. G. S.
PATHOLOGY.-From doses sufficiently large to cause death in
animals, the stomach was found filled with a large quantity of fluid;
its internal surface, throughout all its extent, was covered with a
greyish substance, intermixed with greenish and bilious-looking particles; the mucous membrane was extensively reddened or inflamed,
especially in the greater cul-de-sac, which was dark brown in color;
near the pylorus, there was an extravasation of blood, and the
mucous membrane was very red; the coats towards the pylorus were
extraordinarily thick and hard, as if they had been tanned, and were
very firm under the knife; the walls of the small bowels were slightly thickened, and coated with a yellowish-white granular substance;
the large bowels were filled with a yellowish, offensive fluid.
As Alum has been but little used by homoeopathic physicians, a
large portion of the clinical remarks must be derived from allopathic
sources; this is not to be regretted, because we take it for granted,
that homceopathists claim to know, not only all that is contained in
old-school writings and experience, but a great deal more. Hence
we must take heed that our old-school brethren are not in possession
of new or old facts with which we are not acquainted.-J. C. P.
MouTH.-Very severe pain, burning sensation, and dryness of the
mouth.
THROAT.-Very sevee pains in the pharynx. Burning in the
mouth, pharynx, and stomach.
SToMACH.-Burning heat, and tearing pains in the stomach. Nausea and vomiting. Distention of the stomach. Intense thirst.
When confined in the stomach, Alum causes inflammation of the
entire mucous membrane, worse near the great cul-de-sac, where
it is of a deep brown color. The walls of the stomach are much
thickened at the pyloric extremity, and hardened as if tanned. The
walls of the small intestines are slightly thickened, and lined with a
light yellowish substance. Traces of Alum may be found in the stomach long after it has been taken.
Taken internally, in large doses, Alum excites nausea, vomiting,
griping, purging, and even an inflammatory condition of the intestinal canal,-effects which may perhaps be induced by small quan

tities in persons endowed with unusual or morbid sensibility of the
stomach and bowels; as in the case of the lady in whom dangerous
gastro-enteritis was apparently induced by a single dose of a solution
containing between ten and twenty grains of burnt Alum. Ordinarily, however, tolerably large doses of Alum may be given without
any unpleasant effects;-thus Prof. Dumeril has given a drachm,
properly diluted, in chronic diarrhoeas, within twenty-four hours;
Prof. Marc, two drachms in passive hamorrhages, within the same
period of time, and MM. Kapeler and Gendrin have administered
three drachms at one dose in colica-pictonum.
BowEL.--Distention of the bowels. Burning pains in the small
intestines. Copious solid stools. The walls of the small intestines
are somewhat thickened, and lined with a light yellowish substance.
REcTUM.-Smarting and burning at the rectum, after a solid stool;
hapmorrhoidal tumors after a hard stool.
KIDNEYS AND BLADDER.-When Alum has been absorbed into the
system, it has been found shortly afterwards in the urine. But, in
its passage through the kidneys and bladder, we are not aware of
any peculiar sensations it produces.
WINDPIPE.-Sense of constriction in the windpipe. Heat and
burning in the throat and larynx.
CHEST.-Oppression of the chest. Tightness across the upper part
of the chest. Sense of heat and burning in the chest.
SKIN.-Creeping and coldness of the skin, soon after large doses,
followed by heat and tingling of the same parts.
FEVER.-Fever, accompanied by intense thirst, continued nausea
and vomiting, sleeplessness, agitation, animated expression of the
face, pain and distention of the epigastric region, frequent pulse, and
burning pains in the mouth, pharynx, and stomach.

sumption, asserts that it is the Sepia of chronic diseases. The deve.
lopment of the curative powers of this drug are solely due to Hahne.
mann, and even as yet, but little is known about, and less is done
with it in the old school. Hahnemann recommended it especially
in chronic disposition to eructations lasting for years, and to colds
and catarrhs of the head of very long standing.
Dr. Hirschel reports several cases of inflammation of the throat,
chronic gonorrhcea, chronic induration of the testes, in consequence
of gonorrheea; obstinate leucorrhcea, elevated papulous eruptions, and
burning red, violently itching spots about the organs of generation,
cured by Alumina.
NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Motion.-It has been supposed to
produce various pains and weaknesses in the nerves of motion and
fibrous tissues, arising from arthritic or scrofulous irritation of these
parts, or from an alkaline or phosphatic condition of some of the
juices or fluids of these parts.
Nerves of Sensation.-Here also it has been supposed to produce various changes of sensation and pains arising from the causes
above alluded to, and others which cannot be more nearly designated.
Ganglionic Nerves.-It probably acts more decidedly upon these
than upon the cerebro-spinal nerves.-J. C. P.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. Blood.-The peculiar action of Alumina upon
the blood can only be vaguely hinted at; it is similar to that pro.
duced by alkalies and alkaline earths in general, approaching towards
a scorbutic or scrofulous condition of this fluid, marked by thinness
of the blood, predominance of the white globules, deficiency of fibrin,
albumen, iron, and fat, with a probable excess of water and chlorides,
leading to scorbutic or dyscratic inflammations, ulcerations, and
deposits.-J. C. P.   0
VENOUS SYSTEM.-It may act somewhat more decidedly upon this
than upon the arterial, or rather it may tend to depotentize the
arterial system in strict proportion as it may tend to cause a preponderance of the venous.
Capillary Vessels.-This probably is the great field of the action
of Alumina upon the blood and blood-vessels; this remedy doubtless
tends to produce an excess of white blood, rather than of red; to
prevent the action of the capillaries, and cause various ulcerative,
scorbutic, and dyscratic capillary actions.
GLANDULAR SYSTEM.-Alumina doubtless acts specifically upon
the glands and lymphatics, and upon those nerves and vessels which
supply and control the operation of these organs. This is evidenced




ALUMINA.


171


by its specific action upon the cervical, follicular; and other glands,
and upon the testicles.
Mucous MEMBRANES.-Alumina seems to have a specific affinity
for many of the mucous membranes, especially those of the nose, ears,
throat, larynx, and sexual organs.
SEROUS MEMBRANES.-Its action upon these parts' cannot be certainly made manifest; it seems to act more decidedly upon the
mucous than upon the serous tissues.
FIBROUS TISSUE.-It seems to be homoeopathic to various pains
and disorders of the cellular or fibrous tissues, arising from or
connected with a scorbutic, phosphatic, or scrofulous taint of the
blood.
MUSCULAR SYSTEM.-Its action upon this system    is doubtless
similar to that exerted upon the fibrous tissues in general.
CELLULAR TISSUE.-It seems to act more decidedly upon the sub.
cutaneous cellular tissue than upon the cutis-vera; at least acne,
urticaria, paronychia-cellulosa, rhagades, &c., to which it is more or
less homceopathic, are affections of the cellular tissue rather than of
the skin proper.-J. C. P.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It may prove homoeopathic to several
forms of chronic dyscratic fevers, or sub-acute inflammations, and to
chronic and obstinate fever and ague, with a great predominance of
coldness and debility, and to slow consumptive fevers under like
circumstances.
It may prove as useful as Baryta in the hypochondria of aged
people, and in that arising from obstinate catarrhal and dyspeptic
derangement.
It may prove homoeopathic to the vertigo of aged people affected
with an atheromatous or earthy deposit in the coats of the cerebral
and cardiac arteries. It may rival Baryta in the prevention of apoplexy under these circumstances. It may also prove useful in brain
and other affections, arising from the phosphatic diathesis.-J. C. P.
The sleep-phenomena, to which this drug is homoeopathic, are
symptomatic of other more important derangements of the organism.
Among these conditions, may be ranked diminished power of the
capillary vessels and nerves, and, as a consequence, diminished
animal heat in the tissues supplied by them.
It may prove useful against the chronic headaches which attend
or follow obstinate or severe fever and ague.
It is homceopathic to the roughness and pimply condition of the
face and forehead, and the fissures and chapping of the lips, which
attend disorders of menstruation in many young girls. Also against




172


ALUMINA.


the clayey and earthen complexion and eruptions of the face and lips
which follow fever and ague.
It is homoeopathic to the weakness of the eyes and chronic conjunctivitis which is sometimes connected with leucorrhoea and disorders of menstruation.
It is homoeopathic to ozcena and chronic catarrh; it should always
be borne in mind when Baryta, Qalcarea, and Aurum fail to cure.
It is homoeopathic to chronic and obstinate otorrhoea, arising from
a scrofulous affection of the mucous membrane of the ears.
In its primary action, it is homoeopathic to dryness of the mouth
and throat, similar to that which occurs in typhoid fever; but this
may be followed by a scrofulous or scorbutic state of these parts,
attended with more or less profuse secretion.
It may prove useful against some gum-boils, and scurvy of the
mouth, but it is more than probable that most of the above so-called
pathogenetic effects were accidental, as they were felt in decayed
teeth and old stumps.
It is homoeopathic to a very common and troublesome chronic
affection of the pharynx, in which this organ looks as if it had been
dried, glazed, or varnished, with or without considerable redness,
and always with great dryness and stiffness of the throat, and more
or less hoarseness.--J. C. P.
It is homoeopathic to those forms of dyspepsia in which there is a
deficiency of gastric juice and other gastric fluids. This may allow
the food to ferment, followed by flatulence and Acetic-acid pyrosis.
Teste says, he has often derived the greatest advantage from the
use of this drug against diseases occurring in aged females, which
had apparently been primarily seated in the sexual system, but
whose peculiar symptoms had completely disappeared with the cessation of menstruatidon. Generally these were cases of dyspepsia,
with rush of blood to the face after eating, tettery redness of the
tip of the nose and upon the knees, sour eructations, vomiting, attended with paroxysms of suffocation, and returning every now and then,
with such violence that the life of the patient seemed in jeopardy.
These attacks of cramps in the stomach generally took place in the
evening or at niight; the vomiting was soon followed by cutting
pains, spasms in the bowels, cramps in the legs, and a violent diarrhoea, which relieved the majority of the symptoms. In one obstinate case, Alumina frequently    produced a surprisingly speedy
improvement; the vomiting and cramps of the stomach were permanently relieved, but the herpetic eruption on the nose, cheeks, and.ehin remained, and Teste says he has never succeeded in effecting a

173


cure of this form of acne, nor does he believe that other practitioners have been more successful. Gratiola, Cicuta-virosa, and
Carbo-animalis will often do a great deal when other remedies have
failed.-J. C. P.
Alumina is one of the most homocopathic remedies against constipation from very great dryness of the bowels; it should be used
more frequently than Nux and Sulphur, as should Calcarea, Plumbum, Baryta-carb., Bismuth, &c.
Dr. Ficinius has used it in diarrhIea-acida, and dysenteries, both
grave and slight. According to Scila, Alumina is not exceeded by
any other ant-acid remedy for celerity and certainty of action. Erdmann, of Dorpat, always used it with the greatest confidence in the
diarrhoeas of children, arising from acidity in the prima-vie. Dr.
Wiese, of Tnorn, gave it successfully in seven cases of diarrhoea in
children, when caused by errors in diet, or when the presence of
acidity of the stomach and bowels was more or less evident. Scila
recommends it after four years' experience, not only in infants, against
vomiting arising from acidity, and obstinate greenish diarrhoea, but
also in children up to four years of age. He never gave it without
benefit, and in the majority of cases it alone sufficed to effect a cure.
In several old and neglected cases, in which the pains were very
great, the remedy had to be continued for fourteen days before a cure
was effected. It is said to be far superior to Magnes.-carb., and Cal.
carea.
It may prove useful in some scrofulous affections of the mucous
membranes of the urethra, bladder, ureters, and pelves of the kidneys;
also in phosphatic diseases of the urinary organs. It is homoeopathic to enlargement and induration of the testicles and to chronic
gonorrhoea.  Teste says he has seen a few doses of Alumina
excite and maintain for two months (?) in succession, a tearing
cough, every paroxysm of which was accompanied by involuntary
emission of urine, which reduced the patient to despair. Every
physician in full practice must have met with such cases, in which
no Alumina had been given. It is homoeopathic to the dry irritating
cough which occurs in the first stage of phthisis from scrofulous
irritation of the pharyngeal and laryngeal mucous membranes.
To hoarseness from    dryness or even follicular ulceration, or
thinning and absorption of the mucous membranes of the airpassages.-J. C. P.
It is homoeopathic to slow and insidious dyscratic irritations and
inflammations about the lungs and air-passages, especially when the
mucous membranes and follicular and glandular parts are especially




174


ALUMINA.


affected. In the first stage of tubercular consumption, when the
cough is dry and hacking, or almost incessant.
It is homocopathic to acnous and urticarious eruptions on the
nape and back. Also to chronic enlargement and induration of the
cervical glands.
It is homoeopathic to scrofulous irritation of the nerves and fibrous
tissues which simulate rheumatic pains; also to a chronic tendency
to ulceration of the hands and fingers, and to subcutaneous corrosion
of the cellular tissue, and to superficial felons.
It is homoeopathic to the pains and weaknesses in the back and
legs which attend phosphatic diseases of the urinary organs; also
to swelling and pains in the legs and feet from atheromatous disease
of the coats of the arteries; to rhagades, fissures, herpes, and tendency to ulceration about the toes.-J. C. P.
Hahnemann recommends it in the following affections, provided
the remedy is otherwise homceopathically indicated.*
" Moroseness; fearfulness (easily starting up with fright); reluctance to labor; absence of the power of recollection; difliculty of
thinking; vertigo; headache, attended with nausea; oppression in
the forehead, and rush of blood to the eyes and nose, with bleeding
from the nose; itching of the forehead; heaviness of the face (Hering); bloated places in the face, like bulbous excrescences (Hering); coldness in the eyes, when walking in the open air; in the
evening, pressure' in the canthi of the eyes, as if from sand; the
eyes are closed with pus; running of the eyes; buzzing in the
ears; redness of the nose; tearing pains in the malar bone; dryness of the mouth; eructations; inclination to eructations for years;
sourish risings; irregular appetite, which is sometimes great, sometimes wanting; frequent nausea; pain at the pit of the stomach, and
in the hypochondria, wh'en stooping;' colic early in the morning; want
of action of the rectum; itching of the anus; frequent urinating at
night; difficult stools, attended with discharge of the prostatic fluid;

* NoTE.-The diseases which I have indicated in the preface to every remedy,
are not to be considered as names of diseases, but merely as isolated symptoms,
which have either decreased or disappeared when using the remedy under whose
head they are mentioned. As these affections have not always been indicated
with the necessary correctness, they should never be relied upon as indicating
the disorders which will be cured by this special remedy; they are mentioned
to inform the reader that reliable experience, obtained at the bed-side of the patient, has proved that certain remedies,which had been chosen agreeably to their
pathogenetic symptoms, were curative in the diseases for which they had been
administered.-JAaR.

RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-By some the Grey Amber is supposed to be a tallow-like product from the gall-bladder of the whale.
According to Pereira, it is produced from the sperm whale, and seems
to be the indurated faeces (perhaps somewhat altered by disease) oi
the animal. Mr. Beale collected some of the semi-fluid faeces; and
found that the dried mass had all the properties of Ambergris. It
has a pleasant Musk-like odor, which is supposed to be derived from
the squid, or Sepia-moschata, on which the whale feeds; in support
of this opinion, it must be mentioned that the horny beaks of this animal are found imbedded in the masses of Ambergris. Swediaur was
the first to trace its origin to the sperm whale; Lecleuse was the
first to. suggest that it might be hardened and altered faeces; Home
the first to hint that it might be a hardened and altered secretion from
the liver of the whale, or a kind of gall-stone; Oken supposed that it
was indurated bile-resin, which opinion is strengthened by the
chemical analysis of Pelletier and Caventou; while J. J. F6rey conjectured that it was a species of adipocere, arising from the decompo.
sition of dead Sepia.octopedia, and the other kinds of Sepia, which
emit an Amber or Musk-like odor, and bases his opinion on the fact
that the beaks and bones of those cuttle-fish are found in Ambergris
but, as these are also the most common food of the whale, it may have
a double origin, one from the faeces of the whale, and the other from
the spontaneous decomposition of dead cuttle-fish. When genuine,
Ambergris has a peculiarly pleasant odor, not easily described or
imitated, and which is exceedingly diffusive, especially in solution,
so that a very minute quantity is perceptible even when mixed with
other perfumes; a grain or two rubbed down with sugar, and added

to a hogshead of claret, is very perceptible in the wine, and gives it a
flavor by some considered as an improvement.-J. C. P.
Boswell noticed, after taking thirty grains, quickness of the pulse,
increase of muscular power, and of sight and hearing; also greater
activity of mind and of the sexual power. It was formerly much
celebrated as a stimulant and anti-spasmodic, supposed to produce
excitation and strengthening of the whole nervous system, and even
to prolong life. In the East, it has long been used as an aphrodisiacum; hence its action may be the opposite in this respect of that of
Agnus-castus, Conium, Camphor, &c. According to Noack and F.
Hofstetter, Ambra is said to exert a remarkably specific action on the
organ of hearing; and as curative effects, old-school physicians have
noticed increase of muscular power, relief from intellectual weakness and mental depression, increased power of seeing and hearing,
and increase of the sexual power and fluids. Its action has been
compared by old-school physicians to that of Musk, Castor, Coffee,
Valerian, &c., &c. It had also an ancient reputation for causing the
reappearance of suppressed eruptions, such as itch and herpes. On
account of its stimulating properties, Chaumeton and Cloquet were
led to give it in typhus fever.-J. C. P.

17.-AMMONIACUM.
AMMONIAC.-Gummi Ammoniacum.-See Homcopathic Gazette, 4cc. Duration of Action?
RATIONALE OF ITS AcTIoN.-Ammoniac is the concrete juice of an
umbelliferous plant denominated Dorema-ammoniacum, six or seven
feet in height, growing in Persia and Afghanistan. All parts of
the plant contain a milky juice. At certain seasons this exudes
through punctures made in the plant, and hardens in the shape of
tears, which are collected for use. It is exported from Bushire, and
usually reaches Europe and this country through the ports of Hindostan. Though usually imported from   Bombay, it occasionally
comes from the Levant.
It is said to be a stimulant, although Trousseau and Pidoux deny
that it has any stimulant properties whatever, having taken it in
two-drachm doses without observing any such effect. Still, large
doses are said to cause congestions, violent pains in the head, especially in the occiput and forehead; pains in the eyes and dim-sightedness, aching in the chest and spitting of blood, restlessness, loss
of appetite, relaxation and weakness of the stomach, and diarrhoea.
Wood says, like many other stimulants, it may be given so as to
prove diaphoretic, diuretic, and emenagogue, although its principal
action is manifested upon the pulmonary, gastric, intestinal, and urinary mucous membranes.
Again, it is asserted, that is not merely a stimulant, but a nervous




192


AMMONIACUM.


stimulant, although much less powerful and useful in nervous affe3.
tions (except in those which arise from primary disorder of the mucous membranes) than Assafoetida, Galbanum, and Olibanum.
It is generally regarded as a trivial remedy, but that is only because
it is so frequently used in inappropriate cases, and in too large or too
small doses, and at improper times and stages of the diseases against
which it is suited.-J. C. P.
GENERAL EFFECTS UPON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.-In addition to
other properties, it has been supposed to possess those of a nervous
stimulant, in a somewhat less degree, however, than Assafootida and
Galbanum. In this capacity it has been supposed to be useful in
some affections of the optic nerve, in neuralgic and colicky affections
of the bowels, in nervous and asthmatic affections of the chest; but
in all these disorders its action on the nerves is probably secondary
to that upon the mucous membranes of these parts.
Nerves of Motion.-It probably acts more decidedly upon the
nerves of motion than upon those of sensation. It seems to exert a
specific action upon the motor nerves of the chest, abdomen, and
limbs, as evidenced by the cramps and pains in the chest and bowels,
and the rheumatic pains in the limbs which it removes.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTEM.-Although, when used externally, it
acts as a local irritant, often producing a papular eruption, and sometimes considerable inflammation of the skin, yet it is generally
thought to exert a very moderate excitant influence over the circulation. In large doses, it often occasions a feeling of heat, weight, or
uneasiness in the stomach.
ON THE BLOOD.-ItS action on this fluid is unknown; it doubtless
tends rather to increase the white than the red globules.
FEVER AND PULsE.-Increased circulation in the capillaries;
pulse small, corded, quick, and hard; tendency to chilliness and
perspiration.
ON THE LYMPHATICS AND GLANDS.-It has generally been supposed to exert a specific action upon the lymphatics, glands, and
absorbents, and has been much used to promote the resolution of
scrofulous tumors, chronic swelling of the joints, venereal nodes and
tumefactions, and enlargements of the liver. It is said to increase
the flow of lymph more than any other gum-resin.
ON THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES.--ThiS is apparently the great centre
of the action of Ammoniacum; it doubtless acts more specifically
upon these parts, and upon the mucous follicles and muciparous
glands, than upon any other tissues. It is homoeopathic to catarrhal
affections of many of the mucous membranes, and also to catarrhal



193


AMMONIACUM.


rheumatic affections, and to scrofulo-spasmodic affections, such as
scrofulous ophthalmia, when attended with much spasm of the eyelids; scrofulous bronchitis, when attended with spasmodic or asthmatic affections of the muscular fibres of the bronchial tubes, and in
chronic or scrofulous affections of the intestinal mucous membrane,
especially when attended with spasmodic or colicky affections of the
bowels. Vogt says it acts more powerfully than Assafoetida upon
condensed secretions of mucus and lymph, influencing especially the
mucous membranes of the chest, abdomen, and genitals. Besides increasing the flow of mucus, it is said undoubtedly to possess the
power of rendering a thick and tough secretion more serous, and
hence is thought to be more suitable in blenorrhoeas of viscid, than of
merely profuse mucus. In fact, it is regarded as a mucum incidens
et resolvens. It acts much less decidedly upon the serous membranes and cellular tissue.-J. C. P.
SKIN.-A papular eruption is frequently caused by the application
of Ammoniac plaster, which occasionally increases to a quite considerable degree of inflammation of the skin. Dr. Duncan has described
a fatal case of diffuse inflammation following its use in a case of diseased knee-joint.--J. C. P.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It is homoeopathic to the dullness of
mind and relaxation of body which so often arises in persons suffering from chronic mucous affections; also to some of the nervous
and irritative phenomena which occur in like subjects, although
less useful than Ambra, Assafcetida, and Moschus. It is homoeopathic especially to headache arising from disease of the nasal passages and frontal sinuses.
The specific action of Ammoniacum and Galbanum on the optic
nerve is undoubted. Schwartz recommends it in amaurosis, although
he refers to Wichmann's observation, that it causes dimness of sight.
It would seem most homceopathic to affections of the eyes, when
attended with derangement of several or many of the mucous membranes. The tinctures of Ammoniacum and Galbanum are said to
have been used locally, with great success, in various diseases of the
eyes, such as scrofulous ophthalmia, ocular debility from prolonged
reading, spasmodic motions of the eye-lids, weakness of the lachrymal
duct, &c. A compress, moistened with the tincture, has been applied
over the eye for one hour, then removed for several hours, and reapplied again. A burning heat is first felt; it lessens gradually, and
ceases within an hour, when the compress becomes dry. Richter says
he has used it with much benefit in amaurosis, and adds that he has
frequently performed a complete cure in cases where he hardly
9




194


AMMONIACUM.


expected it, and in some where the disease had actually been
present for several years.-J. C. P.
It seems to act specifically upon the mucous membranes of the
ears, and doubtless will prove a better local application than many
others more frequently used. It is far more homceopathic to influenza, and acute and chronic catarrh of the nose, than many other
remedies which are more frequently used. It is homoeopathic to
some neuralgic affections about the lips and cheeks, which arise
from a catarrhal affection of the sinuses, and other nasal passages.
It is homceopathic to many catarrhal affections of the mucous membrane of the mouth and pharynx; also to many cases of chronic dyspeptic sore throat, the so-called clergymen's sore throat, or chronic
pharyngitis, which is so often mistaken for chronic bronchitis.
Both schools advise it in weakness of digestion. Noack says it is
remarkable that Wibmer says it causes weakness of digestion, yet
calls it a stomachicum. It is homoeopathic when there is a thin yellowish coating on the tongue, tastelessness, or insipid sweetish taste
in the mouth in the morning, or a nauseous bitter taste in the mouth,
disappearing after eating, loss of appetite, eructations after eating,
nausea almost to the point of vomiting, and great weakness of digestion. In short, it is homceopathic to many gastric and bilious states,
especially when occurring in scrofulous subjects. It has been used
in disturbances of the biliary secretion, and in swelling, inclination
to induration, and already formed induration of the liver. Schneider
advises it in chronic jaundice, in old obstructions and iýfarctions of
the liver, spleen, and pancreas. It is most homoeopathic when there
is a thin yellowish coating upon the tongue, and nauseous, bitter
taste in the mouth, disappearing after eating. Still, Wood says, it
has only been prescribed in obstructions and engorgements of the
abdominal viscera, from a vague notion of its deobstruent power,
although Paris found it valuable in mesenteric affections, by correcting the viscid mucous secretions of the intestines; hence it may be
most useful and homceopathic in those affections of the liver and other
abdominal organs which commence in disease of the mucous membrane of the duodenum, and are propagated along the ductus-com
munis to the biliary ducts, gall-bladder, &c. It deserves attention in
scrofulous affections of the gastro-intestinal and biliary mucous
membranes.-J. C. P.
In a peculiar chronic affection of the stomach and bowels, marked
by constant distress and burning about the epigastrium, continual
rumbling and fcetid flatulence, with papescent stools and general distress from, and mal-assimilation of the food, Ammoniacum (first to




AMMONIACUM.

third trituration) will often prove a remarkable palliative, and frequently remove the disorder. It should be thought of in chronic
dysentery; and when there is a mucous diarrhoea, with colicky pains
and flatulence, connected with a feeble, or torpid, or scrofulous state
of the alimentary mucous membrane, and especially when this condition happens to be associated with a chronic cough, there is a double
indication for its use. Some authors speak highly of its utility in
long and obstinate colics depending upon thick mucous matter
lodged in the intestines.
It is homoeopathic to mucous piles, to mucous diarrhoea, and to
many other chronic affections of the intestinal mucous membrane.
Noack recommends it in diarrhoea-mucosa, when attended with chills,
cutting pains in the abdomen, and profuse slimy stools; also in colic
with diarrhoea, when there are violent cutting pains in the bowels,
soft pappy stools, with profuse discharge of wind, and much rumbling
in the bowels. It is also recommended in the dominant school in
abdominal cramps and flatulent colic. In all these cases, if smaller
quantities fail, moderate doses of Lac-ammoniacum will often prove
useful.
In passive dropsy, it has been advised by Fordyce, but it is a
remedy of inferior value. Frank says it has been used externally
with success in many cases of hydrocele, especially in young persons.
It should be thought of in chronic gonorrhoea and leucorrhoea; in
diseases of the spermatic cord; in tendency to diabetes; in the uric
and lactic-acid diatheses, and in the peculiar forms of indigestion
and urinary derangement which attend them. Its action on the urinary organs is said to be inferior to that of the balsams, but greater
than that of any other gum-resin. It is most homoeopathic when
there is an increased flow of urine, followed by dripping of a few
drops, the urine being loaded with lactate of urea. It has been
advised against haematurea and diabetes.
Sobernheim says it causes a congestive state of the uterus, and
even excites a flow of blood from it, and hence has obtained'the reputation of an excellent emenagogue, and has, in fact, afforded excellent
service in amenorrhcea when there was local debility or torpor of the
uterine mucous membranes.     Schneider has recommended it in
menostasia and dysmenorrhcea, when arising from obstruction in the
portal system, and in irregular menstruation. Also in amenorrhcea
arising from chlorosis, and in those hysterical affections which attend
these disorders. It may prove useful in some cases of dysmenorrhoea
and partial retention of the menses, arising from a scrofulo-catarrhal
thickening of the mucous membrane of the cervix.--J C.P.




196


AMMONIACUM


The complaints in which it is most frequently used are chronic ca.
tarrh, asthma, and other pectoral affections, attended with deficient
expectoration, without acute inflammation, or with a too copious
secretion from the bronchial mucous membrane, dependent upon
debility of the vessels. In spasmodic asthma, Ammoniacum often
proves highly serviceable, relieving the symptoms in a remarkable
manner. It is best given in alternation with Scille, or with a small
portion of Hyosciamus or Conium. Plasters of Ammoniacum applied
to the chest also afford evident relief. In hysterical asthma it also
proves most useful. It may be alternated with equal doses of Assafoetida. In asthenic pulmonary complaints, it proves useful by promoting expectoration when this is deficient, and by assisting its
expulsion, when it accumulates in the air-passages, and the patient
has not strength to expectorate. Pereira says, in chronic cough, with
deficient expectoration, or in chronic catarrhs and asthmatic affections, with profuse secretion, it sometimes affords slight relief; but
although he has seen it extensively employed, he had observed it to
prove useful in a few cases only. Quarin, Wedekind, and Selle advise it when the mucus is tough, profuse, and hard to be expectorated.
Peter Frank in chronic, pulmonary, and bronchial catarrhs, with
nauseous, thinly-fluid, and purulent-like expectoration; Brumer,
Quarin, and Behrends, in mucous asthma; also in asthenic inflammation of the lungs, especially when the expectoration is checked.
In alternation with Nitric-acid, it is said to be an excellent remedy
in cases where large accumulations of purulent or viscid matter exist,
with feeble or difficult expectoration.-J. C. P.
It has been recommended in joint and hip-pains, and in gouty
nodes; but it is more homoeopathic to pains seated in the lymphatic
vessels, and which are often mistaken for rheumatism. It is most
specific against pains in the joints and limbs, when attended with
affections of one or several mucous membranes, with derangement of
the urinary organs, and excess of lactate of urea in the urine.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Swelling of the joints of the upper
and lower limbs.-Neuralgia?-Languor after making the least
effort; heaviness of the limbs towards evening; heaviness and languor of the body, with despondency of mind.-Drowsiness in the

18.-AMMONIUM ACETICUM
AMMON.-ACET.-Acetate of Ammonia. Spiritus Mindereri.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-The experience with this medicine is
almost wholly clinical. It is usually regarded as refrigerant and
diaphoretic. Externally, it has been applied as a lotion and collyrium. Dierbach regards it,as the only specific diaphoretic remedy,
with the exception of Dover's powders; he regards it as one of the
most powerful and certain remedies for the promotion of transpiration and perspiration. It is a very great favorite, and an unusually fre.
quently used remedy in the dominant school, being used almost universally for the production of crises through the skin in febrile




AMMONIUM ACETICUM.


199


diseases, although it is less useful in the commencement of severe
attacks when the fever and inflammation are violent, than when these
have aiready somewhat abated and a skin-crisis is about to occur, or,
as Wendt says, when there is a cutis mollis et tractabilis. As it is
not competent to the removal of any severe febrile or inflammatory
disease, it is only used in the milder forms of synochal, irritative,
typhoid fevers, and rhoumatic fevers, and then generally has to be
aided by other remedies; in gastric and bilious fevers, after sufficienit
evacuations are supposed to have been effected; but more especially
in catarrhal rheumatic fevers, as these are supposed to be attended
with check of perspiration. It has also been used in rheumatic anginas, rheumatic pleurisies and pneumonias; in exanthematic fevers,
such as measles, scarlet fever, and small-pox, to aid the outbreak of
the eruption when this is retarded. In dropsy, from checked perspiration, or injury of the skin, such as occurs after scarlet fever and
in Bright's disease.-J. C. P.
On account of its ammoniacal basis, it is supposed to approach
somewhat in its action that of the exciting or stimulating remedies,
although it causes so little heat of the skin and activity of the pulse
that it has been regarded as the most excellent diaphoreticun non.
calidum,; but still it is regarded as better adapted to feeble constitutions, and to typhoid and debilitated states than most other allopathic antiphlogistic remedies. On the other hand, the neutralization
of the Ammonia by means of the Acetic-acid, renders it somewhat
similar in its action to that of the neutral salts, although it is not so
depressing and debilitating. Again, like Vinegar and some other
acids, it is supposed to exert a peculiar action upon the biliary and
urinary organs.-J. C. P.
ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Motion.-This remedy is
supposed not to exert the same irritating action upon the spinal system and nerves of motion which the other ammoniacal remedies are
known to do. Thus, Christison says that the second group of the
order of alkaline poisons, including Ammonia, with its salts and the
Sulphuret of Potassa, have a double action on the system; for, beside
their local effects, they produce through the medium of the blood a
disorder of some part of the nervous system closely resembling tetanus.
Nerves of Sensation.-With the exception of the relief of pain in
dysmenorrhoea, the Acetate of Ammonia is not known to act specifically upon the nerves of sensation; but, as dysmenorrhoea often depends upon the congestion of a womb which has not a sufficient out.
let, and Acetate of Ammonia causes scantiness of menstruation, it
may relieve the pain merely by lessening the congestion.




200


AMMONIUM ACETICUM.


Ganglionic Nerves.-It is supposed that this remedy acts more
decidedly upon the ganglionic nervous system, especially that portion
of the great sympathetic nerve which controls the functions of the
arterial system, than upon any other portion of the nervous system.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. Heart and Arteries.-Sobernheim      says it
causes some increased heat of the skin, together with a quicker,
fuller, and more undulating pulse; but that these phenomena cease
on the breaking out of the perspiration which it is the specific action
of the remedy to cause.
VENOUS SYSTEMI.-We have no absolute proof of any action upon
this system, although some authors think that it acts upon the portal
system and biliary organs, like Vinegar and the Muriate of Ammonia.
GLANDULAR SYSTEM.-Vogt supposes that it acts specifically upon
the lymphatic system, like the Mutriate of Ammonia.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-In febrile and inflammatory affections,
and exanthemata, those medicines which determine freely to the
skin are best calculated to afford relief. Of these, none will generally answer the purpose more uniformly than liquor Ammoniumaceticum. It also forms a good auxiliary to more specific measures.
In inflammatory dropsy, Dr. Todd found liquor Ammonium-aceticum a very valuable sudorific, particularly when alternated with small
doses of 'Tartar-emetic.
The solution of Acetate of Ammonia is a valuable diaphoretic, much
employed in the dominant school in febrile and inflammatory diseases.
The late Dr. A. T. Thomson used it as a lotion, with good effect, in
porrigo affecting the scalp. It is sometimes used externally as a discutient, and Mr. Brande speaks of it as an excellent application in
mumps, when applied hot on a piece of flannel. In tonsillitis, liquor
Ammonium-aceticum will be found very useful.
In the hydrocele of children it is strongly recommended by I)r.
Maushner, applied by means of compresses kept constantly moist.
In dysmenorrhca it has been strongly advised by Cloquet and Patin;
they found it very successful in relieving the paroxysms of pain.
Kopp praises this remedy very highly, as a palliative in dysmenorrhcea; he gives a tea or dessertspoonful every hour, from the com.
mencement of the pain until its relief; it only palliates, but is not
severe in its action, and does not produce secondary affections.
In dysmenorrhcea, Colombat says, with the view of producing a more
rapid sedative action upon the uterus, and to overcome the painful
tormina which accompany the discharge, we may give from forty to
seventy drops of spiritus Mindereri, in a glass of plain or sweetened
water, at two doses. It allays the pain, and in that way facilitates

the flow of the menses; the first dose should be given as soon as the
malaise and uterine pains are felt, and the second in a half-hour; if
the symptoms do not improve, a third dose may be given, but with
some reserve, in order to avoid what sometimes results from it, a
diminution in the quantity of the flow.-J. C. P.
In Menorrhagia and Organic Diseases of the Womb.-A married
lady, aged thirty-four, who had been much reduced by profuse menstruation, had had all the signs of consumption and organic disease
of the womb for two years. She had lancinating pains in the womb,
decided increase in the size and hardness of the organ, with ulceration, and profuse discharge of sanious, very offensive pus, mixed
with shreds of organic matter and black coagule. Walking and
sitting were very painful; and all her sufferings were much increased
at the monthly period; the abdomen then became exceedingly tense
and painful, so that the slightest touch could not be borne; the lanci.
nating pains became so incessant as to deprive her of all rest, and
led, in the course of a few days, to a state of exhaustion which was
only interrupted by frequent convulsive shocks and loud cries. At
the end of five or six days of suffering, profuse menstruation
would occur, and relieve her from her intense suffering, but plunge
her into a highly dangerous state of exhaustion.
After the use of all other means, forty-drop doses of spirits Min.
dereri were given on the second day of a monthly period, when all her
sufferings had reached their height; th'e pains abated rapidly, and
ceased entirely in twenty minutes, and the menses became less
abundant.
Henceforth, thirty or forty drops would always relieve the lancinating pains, and control, although not entirely abate the hbemor.
rhage. The next monthly periods occurred without much suffering,
and the flow was decidedly lessened. Examination by touch and
speculum proved that the womb had lessened in size, the ulcerations
had also improved, and some of them seemed on the point of cicatrizing; the discharge was less abundant and offensive, and she could
sit and walk without pain.
Case.-A lady, aged thirty-two, had suffered with frequent menstruation, and so abundant that she became decidedly weaker and,hinner; she also had a habitual dry cough, oppression of the chest,
nausea, vomiting, and poor digestion; finally the menses occurred as
often as twice a month, leaving her only four or five free days, and
all her other symptoms were aggravated; spiritus Mindereri was
given in twenty-drop doses, night and morning, followed by gradual
diminution of the haemorrhages, so that in three months the menses

occurred only regularly once a month, and lasted only four days,
the other symptoms also disappeared gradually, with the exception
of the cough, which was also much better.
Case.-A lady, aged thirty-seven, subject to profuse menstruation,
lasting for ten or twelve days, followed by leucorrhoea, had had six
miscarriages, followed by dangerous htemorrhages; these were succeeded by dry cough, attended with oppression of the chest, increasing in intensity with the metrorrhagia, which at one time lasted
for three months, attended with heat in the genitals, extending
through the whole abdomen, increase of cough, oppression, loss of
appetite, nausea, vomiting, emaciation, and daily loss of strength.
Finally, her face became earthen, eyes dull, emaciation great, skin
hot and dry; pulse frequent, small, and thread-like; cough dry and
frequent; oppression constant; burning heat in the abdomen, entire
loss of appetite, obstinate constipation, violent pain in the epigastrium
and between the shoulders, burning thirst, constant nausea, and frequent vomiting of mucous matters; the lower portion of the abdomen
was tense and very painful. The neck of the womb was hot, soft,
much enlarged, and sensitive, and the slightest touch caused bleeding; with all these sufferings she had an incessant inclination for
coition. Spirits Mindereri was given, in forty-drop doses, three times
a day; in three days the haemorrhage had lessened three-fourths, with
entire relief from the accompanying symptoms; the sexual inclination had also almost ceased. On examination, after six weeks' treatment, she was found almost natural in size; and in three months she
recovered her former flesh, strength, and health.

substances which contain nitrogen. The anhydrous neutral carbonate can only be obtained by bringing together dry carbonic-acid
and ammoniacal gases.
It is supposed to prevent the coagulation of the blood, and retain it
in a liquid state. If this be true, it must prove a valuable remedy

in those maladies which are accompanied by a crude condition of the
blood, and an unusual tendency to decomposition of this fluid. Theoretically, we should commend it in typhus, malignant scarlatina,
malignant erysipelas, and diseases of a similar character. It is
readily absorbed into the blood, and appears to act specifically upon
the nervous system, especially upon the vertebral column.  Its
action is nearly the same when injected into the veins. In the first
place, its effects are chiefly manifested upon the ganglionic and true
spinal systems; then we observe its effects upon the circulation,
respiration, secretions, and the muscular fibres. It is not, like Opium
and alcoholic stimulants, a diffusible stimulant, and its effects are
more transient than these substances. According to Billing, it is a
" local stimulant, and as such excites momentarily the action of the
heart, through the solar plexus. It immediately unites with animal
acids, and then circulates, or is diffused, not as a diffusible stimulant, but as a saline sedative. It therefore performs the double
office of a temporary local stimulant to the stomach and heart,
and a sedative to inflamed capillaries elsewhere."  Carbonate of
Ammonia is a stimulant, excitant, diaphoretic, powerful ant-acid,
and anti-spasmodic; in large doses,, emetic; and, under some circumstances, expectorant.
Injected into the veins it causes convulsions. Internally it has
caused gastric inflammation with tetanic convulsions, the body ultimately becoming curved, with the head bent backwards. (Opisthotonos.) Wibmer found one and one-half grains to cause no particular
effect upon himself; three grains increased the pulse from 68 to 72, with
throbbing headache; six -to twelve grains usually, but not constantly,
caused increased frequency of pulse, with disorder of brain, manifested by pain, heaviness, throbbing, &c.; in one case, the disposition to cough, with increased secretion of bronchial mucus, was extraordinary. Pereira gave fifteen grains, three times a day for two
months, with no other effect than suspending epileptic fits during
this time.
Huxham has detailed a remarkable case, illustrative of the ill
effects resulting from the long-continued use of it. A gentleman had
so habituated himself to the use of vast quantities of it that at length
he could eat it in a very astonishing manner, as other people eat
sugar or carraway seeds. The consequence was, he brought on hectic
fever; vast hbemorrhages from the intestines, nose, and gums; every
one of his teeth dropped out, and he could in consequence eat nothing
solid, he wasted vastly in flesh, and his muscles became as soft and
Oabby as those of a new-born infant; he broke QAt- all Qver his body

in pustules; his urine was always excessively high-colored, turbid,
and very fetid; he finally died in the highest degree of marasmus.
Vogt assumes that it causes a more active metamorphosis and liquefaction in the vegetative organs, viz.: increased secretion from the
skin; more ready loosening of mucus from the bronchi; more profuse secretion of urine, with simultaneous absorption of lymphatic
fluids from internal parts; increase and hastening of the menses; increased flow of bile; but the most marked of all is its action on the
skin; so that the ammoniac remedies have always been considered as
excellent diaphoretica; and next in its action upon the lymphatic,
vascular, and glandular systems, whence it is regarded as a fluidizing,
absorption-hastening, and resolvent remedy for the organs of thea a
systems.-J. C. P.
In larger doses it causes stimulation to the point of overheating,
whence heat and congestion have generally been regarded as signs
of too great irritation from Ammonia; its expanding and dissolving
powers then also become evident; excessive and very profuse perspirations set in; also greater secretions of mucus, more profuse flow
of urine, and, in general, more hasty and active metamorphoses, with
great inclination to excessive expansion and liquefaction.  This
fluidizing action may become excessive, overbalance the formative
power, and cause inclination to solution and decomposition; we see
this not only in the profuse secretions which it causes, but in the
undermining of all the assimilative processes, viz.: in the destruction
of digestion, in the solution of the chyle and blood, the want of contractile power, the diminution of organic cohesion in all parts-in
short, by the occurrence of a true scorbutic state; yet it is advised in
affections of the intestinal mucous membrane, viz.: in gastric fever,
in mucous inflammations, and in chronic mucous states with formation of viscid slime, in diarrhoeas, and dysentery.-J. C. P.
GENERAL EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.-That the principal
action of Ammonia is first manifested upon the ganglionic and true
spinal systems is evident from the spasmodic actions which it induces,
and from the increased activity of the circulation, respiration, and
the secretions. It does not affect the brain like Opium and alcoholio
stimulants, but appears to impress specifically the vertebral column.
Among the effects of large doses, convulsions have sometimes been
observed.
Nerves of Sensation.-It produces temporarily increased heat of
the skin and a tendency to perspiration. Indeed it exalts momentarily the sensibility of all the organs, operating especially upon the
sentient extremities of the nerves, and upon the capillaries. It causes




AMMONIUM CARBONICUM.


205


much itching of the scalp, and of the whole surface of the body.
From its stimulating effect upon the nerves and capillaries, it has
been often employed in low forms of typhus, scarlatina, and other
maladies characterized by depressed nervous and vascular power.
Nerves of Motion.-It probably acts more specifically or. powerfully
upon the nerves of motion than upon those of sensation; it not only
causes increased capability for muscular exertion, and a state in
which all the nervous functions are executed with greater facility,
but all the salts of Ammonia cause convulsions.
Great Sympathetic Nerve.-By its specific action upon the solar
plexus, it rouses into augmented activity, temporarily, the heart,
stomach, and lungs. Under its influence the activity of nearly every
organ of the body is for a short time increased. Thus we have an
increase of perspiration, of urine, of mucous seerctions, and a temporary increase of muscular power.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTEM. Blood.-It is speedily absorbed into
the blood, and exercises the remarkable power of inducing a more
liquid state of this fluid. It counteracts all tendency to crudeness,
coagulation, or decomposition of the blood, and on this account affords
a reasonable ground for supposing that it may prove useful in some dis.
eases which are accompanied by, or eventuate in blood-deteriorations.
According to Billing, "it immediately unites with animal acids, and
then circulates, or is diffused, not as a diffusible stimulant, but as a
saline sedative. It therefore performs the double operation of a temporary local stimulant to the stomach and heart, and a sedative to
inflamed capillaries elsewhere." In cases of poisoning by this substance, sanguineous effusions are found in various parts of the body.
Physical Efects of Ammonia on the Blood.-Hufeland observed
that the officinal, and probably all th6 salts of Ammonia, have the property, to a greater or less degree, of dissolving the blood-corpuscules,
even to the nucleus, although slowly, and the protein textures generally. Whether they are thus endowed of themselves, or whether it
is in virtue of Ammonia set free from the alkali of the blood, is a
question; but, at all events, it has been ascertained that free Ammonia is not essential to these effects. When blood is combined with
an ammoniaoal salt, it acquires, generally, a brighter red; but this
soon passes into a brownish-red hue; it does not coagulate, but forms
at best a loose, semi-fluid cruor; the corpuscules begin to disappear,
and the whole becomes more limpid. Blood thus decomposed, progressively evolves distinct traces of Ammonia. It is very probable
that we may partially explain, upon chemical grounds (solution and
disengagement of Ammonia), why large doses of the Ammonia act




206


AMMONIUM CAIRBONICUTM.


as poisons, and smaller doses, long continued, induce a scorbutic condition. Yet the same salt, judiciously exhibited, furnishes a valuable stimulant to the secretory and excretory apparatus.
It causes a sensation of congestion to the end of the nose, blowing
out of blood from, and bleeding from the nose after eating. We do
not see that it causes vomiting of blood, and doubt whether it has
any specific tendency to do this; it may, however, act chemically and
corrosively upon the stomach, and thus cause hoamorrhage from it,
as it induces inflammation of the stomach, even when introduced into
the cellular tissue. As for hremorrhoids, it causes great swelling
and protrusion of piles, with pain, discharge of blood from the rectum during and after stool. As for haemoptysis, it causes cough, with
mucous or muco-sanguineous expectoration, coughing up of blood,
with burning and heaviness upon the chest, shortness of breath, redness and heat of the face, nausea, anxiety, and trembling of the whole
body. As for apoplexia-pulmonum, it causes congestion to the chest,
great heaviness upon the chest with pain, heaviness upon the chest,
as if from accumulation of blood. It is very decidedly homceopathie
to purpura-haemorrhagica.
Heart and Arteries.-By its action on the nervous system, it
augments temporarily the muscular force of the entire organism.
Through its local action upon the solar plexus, it stimulates into increased activity the heart and arteries. This augmented action is
of but short duration, not excessive, and therefore not usually followed by any reaction of a depressing character. This effect of Ammonia upon the circulation is accomplished independently of any
action upon the brain.
FEVER.-Frequent chilliness towards evening, frequent paroxysms
of feverish chilliness, blueness of the hands and nails, chattering of
teeth, and shaking; sometimes these symptoms are followed by nightly
heat, with sensitiveness to cold; nausea, thirst, oppression of the
chest, with stitches in the left side, tearing in the forehead, and dullness of the head, alternate redness and paleness of the cheeks, pressure at the stomach, with disposition to eructations, accompanied by a
violent coryza and sleeplessness, for several days,during the catamenia.
Feverish heat in the head, with cold feet. Continual night-sweats.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-In scarlet fever, the Sesqui-carbonate is
a very valuable remedy. It has been strongly advised by Mr. Wilkinson, who has employed it successfully in above two hundred cases.
He does not depend, he states, upon its diuretic, nor diaphoretic
qualities, but believes that it possesses the power of increasing
the strength of the arterial action, at the same time that it dimin

207


ishes its frequency; that it supports the vis-vitce, without increasing
the heat and irritability of the system, and by such means counteracts
the tendency in scarlatina-anginosa and scarlatina-maligna, to ulceration and sloughing, and all the other evils attending it.
In Austria, during an epidemic of scarlet-fever, commencing in
April, 1841, Dr. J. Fischer treated 112 cases by Ammonium-carb.,
aided by occasional applications of cold water to the head; of which
105 recovered, and 7 cases terminated fatally; The seven fatal cases
were: two of hydrothorax, one case of angina gangrsenosa; the four
remaining came under treatment at a very late date, suffering from
violent disturbance of the brain.
In acute glanders, it proved successful in a case which came under
the care of Mr. Wilkinson. Ammonia is evidently homoeopathio to
some varieties of fever and ague, and also to hectic fever, when the
chills and sweats are predominant.
In lepra and psoriasis, Mr. Cazenave successfully employs this
salt. In syphilitic eruptions, Dr. Schedel states that he has seen
this salt succeed when mercurials have failed. The remedy, he adds,
is certainly disagreeable at first, and often causes nausea, but with
a little patience the stomach is soon brought to bear it. In erysipelas,
occurring in debilitated subjects, it proves highly useful. Dr. Watson
observes that, after a preliminary purgation, he commences its use,
and, generally speaking, a large proportion of his cases recover.
In rubeola, urticaria, roseola, erythema, and in other diseases of
the same class, Mr. Wilkinson also bears witness to the value of the
Sesqui-carbonate. He states that for the last seventeen years he has
administered this remedy, and that he has not only never lost a
patient in the above diseases, but has never had a case of the kind
that has even appeared dangerous, or that has given him a moment's
anxiety.
In scrofula, the late Dr. Armstrong found that those cases attended
by much debility, a languid state of the circulation, and deficient
cutaneous secretions, were much becefitted by the use of this remedy.
In puerperal insanity, when great debility exists, together with
defective subcutaneous circulation and cold extremities, the Carbo.
nate of Ammonium, in alternation with Camphor, may be given every
third hour with advantage.
In mercurial erethism no internal remedy is more to be trusted
than the Sesqui-carbonate, in conjunction with Camphor and other
stimulants.
In the nervous, excitable, anxious, and tremulous conditions which
often follow abuses of alcoholic stimulants and opiates, this is a re.

AMMONIUM CARBONICUM.


medy of considerable power. It is also useful in similar conditions
arising from undue mental excitements, such as grief, excessive
anxiety, &c. Cases of delirium trenmens have been said to have been
cured with Carb.-ammon. alone, but Wood says, over absolute drunkenness it has no control whatever; but, in slight disorder from alcoholic
drinks, it occasionally gives relief. In sick headache with excess of
acid in the stomach it is often useful. In those sudden cases of collapse and loss of consciousness, which, if the patient survive, must be
followed by febrile reaction or inflammation, it is admirably adapted;
and, from the absence of any special stimulating action on the brain,
to those cases in which the reaction is likely to be attended with inflammation or greater vascular exitement of the brain. Instances of
this kind not unfrequently occur in the cold stage of febrile diseases,
in collapse from concussion of the brain, and prostration from any
sudden shock.-J. C. P.
In typhoid and scarlet fever, accompanied by a general prostration
of the forces, with a dull and stupid intellectual state, alternating
occasionally with transient flushes of mental exhilaration, this medicine is quite appropriate. Under such circumstances we are in the
habit of prescribing the first trituration.
A case of epistaxis is related by Dr. Chapman, in a young woman,
represented as anaemic, reduced in flesh, very pallid, and very dejected. She was twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, and had
been subject for several years to repeated and copious bleedings
from the nose. The only characteristic symptom that was mentioned
in the letter of consultation, for the choice of a remedy for epistaxis,
was, that it was brought on by washing the face and hands in the
morning. Ammon.-carb., 3, was sent to her, and, after a few doses,
the bleeding ceased and recurred no more; she also recovered
strength, flesh, spirits, and color.  The cure was permanent.F. G. S.
Dr. Chapman also relates a case of critical epistaxis, caused, it was
supposed, by latent measles, to which the patient had been exposed
some three months previously. The epistaxis continued to occur
daily for a few days to an alarming extent. On the fourth day he complained of a severe pain in, the forehead, and a sensation as if the
brain was forcing itself out just above the nose. About a grain of the
third trituration of Ammon.-carb. was administered. One of his
serious bleedings had occurred just before. In three or four hours
after he was covered with measles, and a few doses of Pulsatilla sufficed to effect a cure.-F. G. S.
Mr. Wallace states that he has seen some very severe cases of




AMMONIUM CARBONICUM


209


cancrum-oris cured by the internal use of this remedy. He advises
the strong Nitric-acid as a local application at the same time. A
liberal diet should be allowed.
In acidity of the primse-vie, heartburn, and flatulence, particularly
when occurring in cases of atonic dyspepsia, or in hysterical females,
the Carbonate of Ammonia proves very efficacious. It may be repeated if necessary.
In drunkenness, after the stomach has been emptied, the Sesquicarbonate may be given internally with advantage. Its application
to the nostrils is also beneficial.
In dyspeptic complaints, accompanied by preternatural acidity of
the stomach, and flatulence, without inflammation, a properly-diluted
solution of Ammonia may be employed, with a two-fold object. that
of neutralizing the free acid, and of stimulating the stomach. It must
be remembered that the healthy secretions of the stomach are of an
acid nature, and that the constant use of Ammonia, or any other
alkali, must ultimately be attended with injurious consequences, more
especially to the digestive functions. While, therefore, the occasional
employment of alkalis may be serviceable, their long-continued use
must ultimately prove deleterious.
It has a specific action upon the lining membrane of the kidneys,
bladder, and urethra.
A case of diabetes is reported in Frank's Magazine as cured by
Ammonium-carb., in a lady, aged forty-eight, past menstruating.
Symptoms: Violent thirst, dryness of the skin, constant chilliness,
emaciation, oedema of the feet, with gradually increasing ascites,
passing from fifteen to twenty quarts of urine daily, of a greenish color,
clear and without smell, appetite voracious. The length of time in
effecting the cure not mentioned.-In cases of urinary calculi, in
which the urine is acid, and alkalis are indicated, especially if the
constitution is much debilitated, the Carbonate of Ammonia is the
most preferable alkali for administration. At the same time that it
corrects the acid diathesis, it determines to the skin, and gives a
stimulus to the system generally.
In chronic bronchitis, and catarrhal affections occurring in debili.
tated constitutions, this salt will be found serviceable. It is also very
useful in that form of catarrh which Laennec designates as "suffocative."
In the advanced stages of croup, the Sesqui-carbonate has been
prescribed as a stimulant, expectorant, and occasionally as an emetic,
in order to promote the discharge of effused lymph. When the patient is greatly debilitated, it may prove useful, but some caution is
necessary in its use.

AMMONIUM CAIBONICUM.


In those forms of asthma arising from, and connected with disease
of the heart, Dr. Hope states that he has derived more,benefit from
this salt than from any other remedy. In a very obstinate case, which
resisted all other means, the alternation of Ammonium-sesqui-carb.
and Antim.-tart. afforded great relief.
Inpneunwnia, in the advanced stages, when the inflammatory symptoms have subsided, and it becomes of importance to promote expectoration, Dr. Williams states that he has seen this indication wel;
answered by the Sesqui-carbonate of Ammonia in doses of five grain6
or more, every two or three hours, as the urgency of the case may require. He advises its exhibition in alternation with infus. Senege,
and with five to ten drop doses of tincture Lobelim-inflatre.
It acts specifically upon the mucous membrane of the bronchi,
and their ramifications through the lungs, augmenting the secretion,
and giving rise to a congested sensation in this structure. It also
stimulates temporarily the lungs, increases the number of respirations, and causes slight dyspnoea and some uneasiness of this organ.
It is an excellent remedy against very troublesome dry or moist
short coughs, day and night, with irritation of the bronchial membrane
and its ramifications, and of the substance of the lungs, with dyspnoea
after the slightest exertion, stitching pains through the sides of the
chest, palpitation of the heart, accelerated respirations, worse on ascending stairs; or from exertion of any kind, a general feeling of
malaise.
In advanced stages of pneumonia, when the lungs are approaching
a paralytic condition, with a general loss of vital energy, this is a
remedy of great value. It tends to re-establish the impaired vitality, and, by promoting expectoration, and imparting to the pulmonary
structures increased activity, it not unfrequently induces a permanent
improvement of all the symptoms.
Ammonium-carbonicum is homceopathic to one form of hydrothorax,
and occasionally will cure it when the disease has advanced to that
stage where the effusion becomes general, as shown by cedema of the
lower extremities, enlargement of the abdomen, &c.
HAHNEMANN.-" Ammonium-carbonicum has been found useful in
the following affections: "Fearfulness; disobedience; want of docility; loathing of life; uneasiness in the evening; attacks of anxiety;
anxiety, with weakness; diminution of the thinking faculty; vertigo,
when sitting or reading; chronic headache; headache as if something would get out at the forehead; headache, with nausea; hammering headache; falling off of the hair; dry pus on the eye-lids;

20.-AMMONIUM CAUSTICUM.
AM. CAUST -Aqua-ammonia. Spirits of Hartshorn.-Wibmer's "Mat. Med.
and Toxicology."
COMPARE WITI.-Am.-carb. and mur.
ANTIDOTE.-Dilute Vinegar.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-When taken by accident, undiluted,
or insufficiently diluted, it produces severe inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the mouth, fauces, and stomach, and may even
vesicate or act corrosively. Much caution is also requisite in applying it to the nostrils, in order to revive fainting persons, or to rouse
them from positive syncope. Several instances of severe inflammation of the air passages are on record from this cause, some of
which proved fatal.
NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Motion.-In almost all cases of
poisoning with Amnonia and its preparations, convulsions are observed,
apparently showing that these substances act specifically upon the
spinal marrow.  Aqua-ammonia, injected into the veins, or even
into the cavity of the pleura or stomach, is apt to cause tetanic stiffness and convulsions. Pereira infers that it acts more upon the grey
than upon the white substance of the nerves and brain.
Nerves of Sensation.-It is not known whether this remedy exerts
any specific action upon the nerves of sensation, apart from its irritant and croupous-inflammatory action.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. Blood.-The action of Ammonia on the blood
has already been discussed when treating of Carbonate of Ammonia.
Heart and Arteries.-The experiments of Blake show that Am.
monia, introduced in large doses into the veins, acts by suddenly
extinguishing the irritability of the heart. Small doses first lower
arterial pressure from debility of the heart action, and then increase
it by obstructing the systemic capillaries. When injected into the
aorta from the axillary artery, it causes.great increase of arterial
pressure, owing to the latter cause; and then arrests the heart, while
respiration goes on. Four seconds are sufficient for the Ammonia to
pass from the jugular vein into the heart, so as to be discovered there
by Muriatic-acid causing white fumes.
Pulse.-Weak, small, frequent.
FEVER.-Profuse perspiration, violent fever. Dry skin, shivering,
chilliness, violent thirst. Caustic Ammonia in small doses is said to
act as a stimulant, excitant, or calefacient; it produces a sensation
of warmth in the mouth, throat, and epigastrium, frequently attended
with eructations  A temporary excitement of the vascular system




224


AMMONIUM CAUSTICUM.


succeeds, but this quickly subsides; the heat of the skin is increased,
and there is a tendency to sweating, which, if promoted by the use of
warm drinks and clothing, passes over into profuse perspiration.
When the recession arises from, or is connected with an inflammatory
condition of the bronchial membrane, it is inadmissible.
INFLAMMATIONS.-Caustic Ammonia is decidedly homoeopathic to
inflammation, especially to the so-called " croupous inflamations" of
Rokitansky. Nasal mucous membrane covered with an albuminous
coating; uvula covered with a layer of lymph and mucus; posterior
surface of epiglottis and entrance of rima-glottidis covered with a
false membrane and trachea and bronchi covered here and there with
layers of pseudo-membrane are among its effects.
SKIN.-When applied to the skin it causes pain, redness, vesication,
and more or less destruction of the part, thus acting first as a rubefacient, then as a vesicant, and lastly as a caustic or corrosive agent,
and may even cause gangrene. When given internally it is apt to
cause perspiration.
Mucous MEMBRANES.-The ammoniacal reme'dies have always been
supposed to exert a specific action upon the mucous membranes. The
great peculiarity of its action is the tendency to the formation of
croupous inflammations and exudations which it is apt to cause.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-The preparations of Ammonia would
seem homoeopathic to true croupous inflammations of the nostrils,
throat, larynx, trachea, oesophagus, and of the large and capillary
air-tubes. I have already drawn attention to this fact in the Honcuopathic Examiner, Vol. I., p. 187, 1846. It is also homoeopathic to
convulsions and tetanus.-J. C. P.
ANTIDOTES.-The vegetable acids, such as Lemon-juice, Vinegar, &c.
When it has been inhaled, the vapors of Muriatic-acid may be very
cautiously employed.-J. C. P.
Cullen thought it the best anti-spasmodic known; he gave it in
doses of four to six drops,,in a wineglassful of plain or orange-flower
water. Pescay recommended it in tetanus. Hope recommends it in
epilepsy; he says, if taken, at the first warning of an attack, it seldom fails to arrest it. Pereira quotes a case in his own practice, and
another in that of Pinel, in which the inhalation of ammoniacal vapor,
immediately after the first warning of an attack of epilepsy, apparently averted its occurrence. He found it particularly useful in
hysterical epilepsy, and in that form of the disease which Sauvages
called lypothymia, in which the patient is described as dying away.

cause a profuse discharge of tears and saliva, rapidly cured'some
)bstinate cases of tic-douleureux. It was also found productive of
great benefit in the same cases, if given internally. Externally,
applied as a counter-irritant, it also affords striking relief.
The preparations of Ammonia are more homoeopathic to scurvy and
haenorrhages from deficiency of fibrin in the blood than to any other
forms of blood-diseases. In scrofula, the late Dr. Armstrong found
that cases attended with much debility, a languid state of the circulation, and deficient cutaneous secretions, were much benefitted by
Ammonia. In typhus fever, small-pox, scarlet fever, and other septic
disorders, an unusually large quantity of Ammonia is developed or
liberated in the blood.
In the bites of venomous snakes and insects, in which the poison
is absorbed into the blood, Ammonia has long been used. It is certainly a powerful nervine stimulant in these cases, and is more efficacious than Brandy or any other stimulant. It may be given internally,
in doses of ten or twenty minims, in water or wine, every half-hour
or oftener, if the urgency of the symptoms require it. Externally,
it should be rubbed into and about the bitten part. The patient
should not be allowed to lie down or go to sleep; he should be kept.
moving about, and his fears allayed in every possible way. In bites
of scorpions, centipedes, mosquitos, and other venomous insects, a
liniment composed of equal parts of Ammon.-caust., Olive-oil, and
Opium, well rubbed over the bitten part, affords great relief. A few
drops of the Ammon. may also be given internally.
Although, in full quantities, it extinguishes the irritability of the
heart, still, Wood says, in consequence of the energy, and at the same
time the brevity of its stimulant action, it is admirably adapted
to all those cases of sudden depression or collapse which, if the
patient survive, must be followed by febrile reaction, if not acute
inflammation. The want of any special influence on the brain, adapts
it peculiarly to those in which the reaction will be likely to be attended
with inflammation or great vascular excitement of that organ. Instances of the kind are not unfrequently presented in the cold stage
of febrile diseases, the collapse of concussion of the brain, and the
prostration of any sudden shock.
Gerard, of Lyons, has used it with success as a sudorific in grave
fevers, also in those arising from atmospheric influences, i. e., in catarrhal-rheumatic fevers. Pugnet and Brachet have used it with
astonishing success in catarrhal-rheumatic fevers, when the chill was
well marked. Wood says, in all fevers assuming in their progress a
low form, requiring stimulation, this is one of the first of the diffusible
10*

stimulants which may be had recourse to. In typhus and enteric
fevers, in the various exanthemata assuming a typhoid form, especially scarlatina, small-pox, and malignant erysipelas, and even in the
phlegmasia, when attended with the same state of the system, it may
be used; yet, in all these diseases, the quantity of Ammonia in the
blood is increased. Its tendency to produce softness or moisture of
the skin adds to its usefulness; and sometimes, when the breath and
exhalations from the patients have a sour smell, as they are apt to have
in low fevers, its property of neutralizing acid may be considered a
peculiar recommendation. We should not have been surprised to
see Wood recommending it when the breath was ammoniacal. Still
he has doubtless often applied it unwittingly when that was the case,
supposing the breath to be sour or musty.
In continued fevers, which have existed for some time, and where
all violent action has subsided, and the brain does not appear much
disordered, it is occasionally of great service. Its diaphoretic action
may be improved by diluents and warm clothing. In intermittent
fever it is sometimes of advantage, given during the cold stage, to
hasten its subsidence. In the exanthemata, when the eruption has
receded from the skin, and the extremities are cold, it is sometimes
of great benefit, on account of its stimulant and diaphoretic properties. When the recession arises from, or is connected with an inflammatory condition of the bronchial membrane, it is inadmissible.
Caustic Ammonia is evidently more homceopathic to croupous in.
flammations than to any other variety. I suggested this remedy
against membranous croup as early as 1846; also Bromine, the credit
of which has been assumed by so many other physicians.-J. C. P.
In some inflammatory diseases, especially pneumonia and rheumatism, when the violence of the vascular action has been reduced
by proper treatment, Ammonia has proved serviceable. In alternation with Senega, Dr. Pereira has has found it valuable in chronic
pulmonary affections. Although it is a sudorific, it has been recommended in the dominant school against the colliquative sweats of
phthisis; also against a dry parchment-like state of the skin; in exanthematic fevers, with suppression of the functions of the skin, and
consequent nervous affections. It is said to be homoeopathic to
scarlet fever, because it induces a scarlet redness and burning heat of
the skin, especially on the superior portion of the body, and upon the
thighs and knees; it also causes a scaling off of the epidermis, dropsical effusions, inflammation of the throat and tonsils, and croupous
inflammation of the throat and nose. Gerard, of Lyons, used it di.
luted with water, to prevent the inflammation in cases of burns.

Tinea and herpes are sometimes combatted happily by ammoniacal
lotions; and the faculty of preventing deep-seated inflammations and
suppurations has also been attributed to its local application. The
linimentum Ammonice is much used in rheumatic pains, inflammations of the throat, and catarrhal affections of the chest, especially in
children.  The liquor Ammonice-fortior is used for its vesicatory
effects, when Cantharides cannot be employed, on account of the extreme susceptibility to strangury, or when it is desirable to raise a
blister very promptly, as in cases of sudden and great prostration
from gouty spasms in the stomach, anginose affections of the heart,
the sinking spells of low fever, &c., and intolerable neuralgic or
spasmodic pains. It has also been employed to obtain quickly a denuded surface for the endermic application of medicines, in cases
of great emergency- Its use is recommended for ring-worm, as being
one of the most useful applications; it is advisable to limit the proportion of alkali to the amount of stimulation which it is desired to
produce. Three cases of temulentia are reported in Frank's Magazine as cured by liquor Ammonium-causticum, in twelve to fifteendrop doses, in sweetened water, every five, ten, or twelve minutes.
In two cases, the functions of the brain were very much excited, and
in one case there was complete absence of sensibility. A case of
syncope in a woman, aged seventy-five, brought on by working in
the garden during the heat of the sun, in a bent position, was cured,
as reported by Frank, by three, four, or five-drop doses of liquor
Amimonium-caustium, on a piece of sugar.    These attacks came
on several times, with trembling, coldness of the limbs, frequent yawning, and vertigo. Sage says he obtained the most astonishing success
with the vapor of Ammonia, to animals asphyxiated with Carbonicacid gas; he thinks it acts chemically, the alkaline gas against the
acid one. Still, Ammonia causes its own peculiar form of asphyxia;
in fact, in that kind of asphyxia which occurs from Ammonia, the
contractility of the muscular fibre is always enfeebled. In cases of
atonic apoplexy, in which diffusible stimulants are admissible, Ammonium-causticum will be found to be one of the best of these. The
vapor may be also applied to the nostrils. In epilepsy and congestion of the brain, arising from debility, Dr. Hope has found the internal use of Ammonium-causticum exceedingly efficacious. In bald.
ness, a stimulating wash, composed of Ammonium-causticum, has
been found of great service.
"We have long been in the habit of using this remedy against
catarrhs of the nose, coryza, and ozoena, both internally and locally.
It is quite singular, however, that Nitric-acid will relieve some cases

in which Ammonia seems indicated, but does not cure. Still, both
Ammonia and Nitric-acid are compounds of Nitrogen.-J. C. P.
It seems homoeopathic to some varieties of canker sore mouth, nursing sore mouth, ulceration of the tongue and gums, and may prove useful in cancrum-oris. Pringle used it against angina, as a resolvent, but
it is more especially homoeopathic to the pseudo-membranous affections of the throat and oesophagus, such as the diphtheritis of Bretonneau. For chronic hoarseness, dryness of the throat from deficiency
of secretion, and chronic asthma, the inhalation of it has been advised,
to promote the secretion of a watery vapor from the mouth, fauces,
trachea, and bronchi. I have found a few drops of Ammonia, largely
diluted with water, and the doses repeated several times a day, the
best remedy against catarrhal and paralytic aphonia. Although it
has caused vomiting of blood, yet Pinel used it diluted in four parts
of water, as a haemostatic, and Gerard has checked with it the hemorrhage from cancerous ulcers. Noack advises it against violent spasms
of the stomach and heartburn; also against nervous dyspepsia and gastrodynia, although it would seem far more homoeopathic to gastric
disorders when arising from congestion or inflammation. During
the cholera season in Halle, in 1848-49, Dr. Reil used liquor Ammonium-causticum with great success, in the third stage of choleraasphyxia, where other remedies had failed. This treatment in cholera
is corroborated by Dr. Kurtz, who gave the liquor Ammonium-causticum with success, in cases where but little purging or vomiting
occurred, or where this had almost ceased, with rapid sinking of the
temperature of the skin and failing pulse, dyspnoea, threatening paralysis of the lungs and heart, and asphyxia.
In amenorrhcea and chlorosis, Dr. Ashwell states that he has derived great benefit from a mixture of Ammonium-causticum and milk,
thrown into the vagina daily. It has also been very successfully
employed by Lavagna in amenorrhcea. Dr. Dewees relates a very obstinate case of pruritus in a female, which completely yielded to injections into the vagina of a mixture of 3ss.-3j. of the solution in
7ss. of water. " It succeeded like a charm."  He adds that he has
since successfully employed it in numerous cases. It should be
freely injected into the vagina.
Rayer advises its application to the velum-palati in cases of simple
idiopathic asthma. He dips a roll of lint, a few inches long, into a
mixture of four parts of the solution and one of water, presses out
the superfluous fluid, and immediately applies it for a few seconds to
the velum-palati. This at first causes a feeling of suffocation, with
cough and much expectoration; but this soon passes off, and great

229


relief is experienced. It should be applied weak, at first, and may
be repeated if necessary. Great care should be taken not to apply
the mixture to the back part of the pharynx, as such an application
may prove serious or even fatal. Rayers states that, in one hundred cases, he has employed this treatment with success, and without
unpleasant consequences. In chronic bronchitis, an embrocation of
Ammonium-causticum is advised as efficacious, and, in fact, in many
pulmonary affections, such as chronic pleuritis, phthisis, &c., it will
be found of permanent advantage. It is recommended for violent
spasm of the stomach and heartburn; also membranous croup.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Affections of the mucous membranes
and organs of the chest, contraction of the flexor muscles; contraction of the oesophagus and of the colon.-Excessive exhaustion and
muscular debility; debility which scarcely permits him to stand
violent trembling on making the least effort.-Skin hot and dry
afterwards moist, even sweating.-Restless sleep.-Chilliness; fever
towards evening; the pulse is at first small and not much accelerated, afterwards it becomes more rapid from hour to hour.-Great
tendency to start.

sensation as if the head would burst; pressure in the temples.Entire stoppage of the nose, with discharge of a watery fluid.-Pale
countenance, with features expressive of pain; disfigured countenance.-Burning in the oesophagus, or else violent pains; whitecoated tongue; scraping and burning in the throat; difficult deglutition; dark redness of the velum-pendulum-palati, tonsils, and the
posterior wall of the pharynx; the uvula is drawn up and covered
with white mucus.
STOMACH, &c.--Burning thirst.--Vomiting of the contents of the
stonach through the nose and mouth, with violent burning in the parts
which are touched by the expelled substance; vomiting of mere
mucus.-Painfulness and swelling of the pit of the stomach.-Rumbling in the abdomen.-Several diarrhoeic stools after the vomiting,
with burning at the anus, sphincter, and colon.-The menses appear
a fortnight too soon and too profusely.

21.-AMMONIUM MURIATICUM.
AM  MUR.-Muriate of Ammonia.-Hahnemann's "Chronic Diseases," Vol. II.
-Duration of Action: from 3 to 4 weeks.
COMPARE WITH-Am.-carb, and its analogous remedies.
ANTIDOTES.-Camph., Coff., Hep., Am., Hydr.-ac., Lauroc., Nitr.-sp.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-This salt consists of about thirty-one
parts of Ammonia, and sixty-nine parts of Muriatic-acid. Hence it
is to be supposed that it partakes in part of the action of these two
remedies, although it necessarily has effects peculiar to itself. It is
most nearly allied in its action to Hydriodate of Potash, Muriate of
Baryta, Chlorate of Potash, and Bromide of Potash.
Counsellor Gumpert commenced with administering one-half or
one drachm of the salt in twenty-four hours; increased the doses one
drachm every three or four days, until, finally, from four to six
drachms were given each day. When about half a pound of Sal-ammoniac had been used in the course of four weeks, the following complex of symptoms would appear.-J. C. P.
A state of things which would exactly imitate a status pituitosus,
or febris mucosa, attended with the most invincible repugnance to
the remedy, so that even the thought of it would cause nausea.-The
eyes would become dull, and present a peculiar glassy or watery
shine;-lassitude, sluggishness, and prostration overpowered the
whole body;-the tongue became coated and white; the patient experienced a constant shivering, hawked constantly, and scraped his
throat, because there was an incessant tickling there, although he did
not get up much mucus; there was a sense of emptiness in the
stomach, although the patient could not bring himself to take food.
The perspiration was generally increased; the sweat broke out from
the slightest exertion. Much urine was excreted, of a strong ammoniacal, or even mouldy odor, although it generally remained quite




AMMONIUM MURIATICUM.


231


clear. Glassy and tough mucus was occasionally evacuated by stool,
but diarrhcea occurred only rarely.-J. C. P.
This state of things did not last long before a formal attack of
fever would prostrate the patient upon his bed; the paroxysms consisted of CHILLS and FEVER, followed by profuse perspiration.
These paroxysms resembled those of an ordinary fever and ague, and
were followed by relief from the premonitory symptoms already
alluded to, and from some of those of the disease against which it was
given. In the course of eighteen months, Gumpert noticed five
paroxysms like the above, all of which followed the seven-day type
quite accurately; they recurred regularly as long as the organism
was sufficiently saturated with Sal-ammoniac; they became slighter,
and finally ceased as the effects of the drug wore off; and could be
reproduced again at pleasure by resuming the remedy. In one case,
the septimana set in after the Muriate had been used six weeks, and
recurred regularly every Thursday for four weeks; the fifth paroxysm was slight, and the sixth omitted, while the seventh was reproduced by repeated doses of the drug.
Wibmer took from ten to twenty grains per dose, and repeated it
at the end of an hour; the effects were a sensation of warmth and
oppression in the stomach, increase of appetite and digestion, and
softness of the stools, headache, and increased desire to pass urine.
When applied locally, it irritates the skin moderately; but, if very
freely applied, it may inflame it. When taken internally in a powder, it produces a feeling of coolness in the stomach; but in solution
it causes the contrary sensation of warmth, which, if the dose is
somewhat large, may be attended with epigastric uneasiness or
oppression. The secretions become notably increased, especially
those of the bronchial tubes and other mucous membranes; urination and perspiration are also frequently induced, and menstruation
is said to be promoted. Small doses are apt to constipate, while
large doses cause loose stools and discharge of quantities of a tough
glassy mucus. With these effects, or rather preceding them, there is
a liquifacient, falsely called an alterative influence, for Arnold found
itto diminish the plasticity of the blood, and Fischer saw a scorbuticlike dyscrasia produced by the long-continued action of this salt. It
exercises a specific influence over the stomach, for Orfila, Smith, and
Arnold observed that inflammation of the stomach ensued to whatever part of the body the salt might have been applied.
NERVOUS SYSTEM.-In the inferior animals it has been found, when
largely given, to cause great disturbance of the nervous system, as
indicated by convulsions, paralysis, and coma. Vogt supposes that




232


AMMONIUM MURIATICUM


it exerts a peculiarly specific action upon the ganglionic system, aa
is evinced by its powerful and specific action upon the stomach and
portal system, and its peculiar relation to fever and ague and the
vegetative processes generally.
VASCULAR SYSTEM. Heart and Arteries.-According to Sundelin,
after its absorption it appears to reduce moderately the action of the
heart and arteries, and in this respect belongs to the class of debilitating or temperant agents. Vogt regards it as a cooling and anti
phlogistic neutral salt, which follows well after Nitrate of Potash.
VENOUS SYSTEM.-The Germans suppose that it exerts almost as
specific an action upon the portal system as Mercury; and Sundelin
hazards the opinion that it is a temperant agent to the arterial
system, and an excitant to the venous capillary system.
Blood.-It causes a scorbutic-like state of the blood, in which
there is no necessary increase of the watery particles, but diminution
of 'the blood-globules and fibrine; in chlorosis, there may be an increase of fibrine and diminution of blood-globules; in scrofula, an
increase of albumen and deficiency of fat, fibrine, and blood-globules.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.-It has always been supposed to exert a specific action upon the lymphatic vessels and glands. It excites a
more active state of all glandular organs; acts as a powerful resolvent remedy, and while it increases their power of absorption, it also
stimulates the excretory actions of the skin and kidneys. It has
been decided to act more powerfully upon the glandular tissues of
the gastro-hepatic system, and of the uterine organs, than any
others.
Mucous TISSUES.-It is supposed to exert a specific action upon
the mucous membranes, especially those of the gastro-intestinal
organs. It acts, although in a less degree, upon the pulmonary
mucous membranes; also upon those of the urinary organs; while
it effects in a still less degree the mucous membranes of the female
genital organs, merely because they are more isolated from the sys
temrn than any others.
SEROUS TISSUES.-Nextoto the mucous membranes, it is supposed
to extend its action to the serous tissues, increasing the vegetative
processes in them, especially their power and function of absorption,
more particularly in the peritoneum and pleura.
FIBROus TIssuEs.-It is not generally or distinctly stated that this
remedy exerts any specific action upon the fibrous tissues, but it has
effected cures of induration of the prostate, and other'fibrous glands.
also in thickenings and semi-fibrinous conditions of the stomach,
bladder, and urethra; also of indurations of the liver, ovaries, and

233


uterus, when a large quantity of fibrous tissue of new formation is
developed in these organs.
ADIPOSE TISSUE.-It acts as powerfully on this system as liquor
Potassae or Kali-hydriodicum. Imagine a man about fifty years old,
of middle stature, with a broad face, whose breadth was still more
increased by a large mass of fat hanging beneath the chin; imagine
also a large head, with a broad neck, adorned with a fatty mass, extending from one ear to the other; two small ears, pushed forwards
and outwards by the fatty tumor; sallow eyes and fhae; lax cheeks,
and thin hair, and you will have a true picture of the head of the
patient  Place this head upon a delicately constructed, bony frame,
with small, thin hands and feet, scantily nourished arms and legs.
Then imagine, on each arm, a large mass of fat, which commenceq
at the deftoid muscles, passes over the shoulders to the nape, forwards upon the chest, and filling the arm-pits; a flabby pot-belly;
and, finally, two nates, whose proportions would be envied by many
modern dames, and you would have a vivid idea of the funny figure
which our patient presented when unclothed. He was put under
the use of Ammonium-muriaticum. In the sixth week, the seven-day
fever was established, and recurred regularly every Thursday. When
the patient abandoned the treatment, his belly was collapsed, there
was only a trace of the fatty bolster on his neck, the nates were
shrunken, so that his clothes had to be made greatly smaller, and
the swellings on the shoulders had much diminished After every
paroxysm of the seven-day fever, the diminution of the swellings was
too evident and remarkable to admit of doubt, while the general improvement of the patient's health was equally great. Before commencing the use of Sal-ammoniac, his digestion was very irregular;
loss of appetite alternated with canine hunger, and constipation
with diarrhoea; but all these disturbances ceased, and his sallow
complexion was replaced by a more healthy and animated one; his
eyes became clear; his breathing, which had been much oppressedprobably from accumulations of fat about the heart and in the chest--
became quite free.

this confection of the wise a confection of fools, because many had
lost their memory, and had become mad on account of using it too

23.-ANGUSTURA          VERA.-(CORTEX ANGUSTUIE, OR
ANGUSTURE.)
ANGUST.-Bark of the Galipea-officinalis, or Galipea-cusparia.-Duration of
Action: from 3 to 4 weeks in chronic affections.
COMPARE WITH-Bruc., CanDth., Carb.-a., Carb.-v., Coff., Mer., Plat.
ANTIDOTE-Coff.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-It has been employed extensively in
the malignant bilious intermittent fevers, dysenteries, and dropsies
of Angustura and Demerara. It is probable, however, from the testimony of physicians in Europe and in the United States, that it is
better adapted to tropical diseases than to those of temperate climates.
It seems homceopathic to nettle-rash, when followed by flat, painful
ulcers. It was at one time considerably used in place of Peruvian
Bark as a febrifuge; but has not been found successful in the treatment of intermittents in northern latitudes. More recently, Mr.
Brande has spoken favorably of its febrifugic properties, and relates
instances in which it has proved successful. Alibert, however, gave
it a fair trial, and found it of little value; and general experience
has pronounced the same verdict. Pereira recommends it, on the
authority of Winterbottom, in " adynamic continued fever," especially when complicated with great disorder of the digestive organs.
Merat and De Lens assert that the natives of the country where it
is indigenous regard it as superior to Quinine in the treatment of
intermittent fev is; they also employ it like Quassia and Columbo

in dysenteries.  Bretonneau, of Tours, used it in several cases,
but was unsuccessful. Reydellet and Niel, *of Marseilles, have ad.
ministered the Angustura in powder, in five cases of vernal inter.
mittent with entire success. Fodere has succeeded but three times
in eight cases. This is qualified, however, by the reflection that
oftentimes the most insignificant remedy will cure an intermittent,
more especially one occurring in the spring-a simple stimulant being sometimes all that is needed to enable the system to throw off the
morbific influence. In order to give weight and value to a remedy
it should succeed in the case of a tertian or quartan, of marked type,
which has lasted from fifteen days to a month. It is usually thought to
have no special influence on the brain and nervous system, but is
generally regarded as a stimulant tonic, in small doses acceptable to
the stomach. Many of the phenomena enumerated by Noack and
Trinks as due to this variety of Angustura belong properly to the
False Angustura. It has been ascertained that much of the bark
which was formerly sold in Europe was composed of a mixture of
both varieties, so that we are left in some doubt with regard to the
pathogenetic and therapeutic effects peculiar to each kind. It seems
to act upon the stomach somewhat similar to Cocculus and Nux-vomica,
and may be employed against acidity, nausea, bilious derangement,
flatulence, dryness. of the mouth and throat, especially when there is
an excessive desire for cold drinks, with more or less lassitude and
inclination to faint. In the dominant school it is regarded as a valuable remedy in cases of dyspepsia with diarrhoea and loss of appetite.
In cases of flatulency attended with nausea, if taken an hour before
dinner, it'will often restore appetite and digestion. In large doses it
evacuates the stomach and bowels, and is often employed for this
purpose in South America. It has been recommended in dyspepsia
and other diseases in which a tonic treatment is demanded.,  t has
the advantqge over Peruvian Bark that it is less apt to oppress the
stomach. It is said to promote digestion, increase the appetite, expel
flatus, and does not cause constipation. In large doses it is apt to
vomit and purge; it seems homceopathic to wind-colic, to excessive
formation of flatulence and great rumbling in the bowels, to diarrhea
with or without slimy stools. Many of its pathogenetic symptoms
correspond with those of China, and it is therefore now and then
employed with advantage in diarrhoeas, flatulency, and other abdominal troubles, in which China is indicated, but fails to afford prompt
relief. In the last stages of cholera-infantum, it has sometimes been
prescribed with speedy benefit. It seems to act powerfully upon the
muscles and motor nerves of the arms, and may prove useful in some

painful spasmodic or partial paralytic affections of those parts. This
medicine, according to Noack and Trinks, has a remarkable specific
action on the motor and spinal nerves. The two following cases exhibit its curative action in this respect:
A lady, about fifty years old, oppressed with gloom, of a saturnine
complexion, suffered much from pain in her spine, at the nape of the
neck, and the sacrum especially; at either of. these places the pain was
much increased by pressure. She had great difficulty in walking, and
seemed threatened with paralysis of the lower limbs. She had a
sensation of tremulousness and uneasiness in the muscles of the neck.
Various means were resorted to for her relief, with little or no effect.
Finally Angustura was prescribed, and very materially relieved her.
She is:cheerful, the pain much less, and she walks with more ease and
comfort. Another lady, about the same age, was also threatened with
paralysis of the lower limbs. There was a considerable aggravation
of her sufferings from a few doses of Angustura, followed by amelioration.-It seems to act less specifically upon the lower extremities
than upon the upper.

accompanied by chilliness and want of animal heat.-Excessive mirth,
accompanied by a drawing in of the limbs, as if the tendons would be
strained, in the afternoon.

evening, until nine o'clock, afterwards he is wide awake until after
midnight.-Vivid dreams; uneasy sleep, full of dreams. Confused
dreams, partly of a terrific nature.

ANGUST. SPUR.-False Angustura Bark, erroneously called Brucea-antidysenterica.-(See "New Materia Medica.")
GENERAL REMARKS.-At the time when this drug was proved in
this country, under the direction of Dr. Hering, it was supposed to
be derived from the'Brucea-antidysenterica, and thence received its
name. According to more modern investigations, however, it has
been decided to arise from a variety of the Strychnos species, similar
to, if not identical with Nux-vomica. Pereira unequivocally pronounces it the Nux-vomica, and gives numerous cases of poisoning,
which certainly would appear to substantiate his views-the symptoms
observed being identical with those produced in acute poisoning with
the Nux-vomica; but the matter appears to be involved in some doubt,
Dunglison, however, looks upon the Nux-vomica as a different plantl

and recommends the preparation of Brucin from the Brucea-antidysenterica in preference to the Strychnos Nuz-vom., in consequence of
the Brucin from the latter being always combined with a small amount
of Strychnia. It is distinguished from the Angustura-vera by its
greater thickness, hardness, weight, and compactness; by its resinous
fracture; by the appearance of its epidermis, which is sometimes covared with a ferruginous efflorescence, sometimes is yellowish-grey
and marked with prominent white spots; by the brownish color and
smoothness of its internal surface, which is not, like that of the genuine
bark, separable into laminae; by the white, slightly yellow powder
which it yields; by its total want of odor, and by its intense tenacious
bitterness. Analysed by Pelletier and Caventou, it was found to contain a peculiar alkaline principle, which they called Brucin, and upon
which its poisonous operation partly depends. In consequence of its
presence, a drop of Nitric-acid upon the internal surface of the bark,
produces a deep blood-red spot. The same acid, applied to its external
surface, renders it emerald green. In the true Angustura-bark, a dull
red color is produced by the acid on both surfaces. At present it is
generally believed to' be derived from the Strychnos Nux-vomica,
the bark of which, according to Dr. O'Shaughnessy, exactly corresponds with the description given by authors of the False Angustura,
and like it contains Brucin.
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-It is classed among the simple tonics
or bitters, and is very similar to them in its action, though perhaps
rather more energetic in larger doses. In small doses its effects resemble those of Gentian, Columbo, Quassia, &c. Emmert, from thirty
experiments on animals, concludes that the following are the principal
effects of Angustura-spuria: Difficult, and at first quickened respiration; frequent, and afterwards spasmodic pulse; an anxious, timid
state of mind; diminished control of the muscles, especially of the
inferior extremities; spasmodic rigidity of the limbs, and frequently
of the muscles of the chest; trembling as if from electric shocks;
jerkings and startings, especially along the spine, excited by great,
slight, or even scarcely perceptible impressions; attacks of tetanus,
especially in the form of opisthotonos, excited by the slightest causes;
in these attacks the head and spinal column are bent back in the
extremest manner, and the limbs, are stretched out; the chest and
limbs become fixed and rigid; the eye-lids and pupils are extended
to the greatest degree, and the eyes are projected rigidly and immovably far out of their sockets; the lower jaw is pressed firmly
against the upper, and the face is distorted; the pulse becomes slow,
small, and spasmodic; respiration ceases almost entirely, and red

parts become blue. In from one and a quarter to one and a half or
two minutes the tetanic paroxysms relax, the pupils and eye-lids
contract, the eyes sink back into their sockets, and the body becomes
soft and flabby, respiration returns with difficulty and great exertion, but gradually becomes freer, and still remains.obstructed, and
the arterial blood continues darker than natural; the pulse becomes
more frequent, larger, and freer, but still remains somewhat tense
and hard. The irritable and excitable state of the muscles still
continues, and the nervous attacks return at longer or shorter intervals. Consciousness and sensation are not at all lessened, but
are rather heightened, and a certain timidity and fearfulness is
developed, which may be compared to the pantophobia of hydro.
phobia.  No perceptible evacuations are caused by Angusturaspuria; vomiting does not occur, nor diarrhoea. After death the
irritability of the muscles and nerves is not diminished; the involuntary muscles retain their irritability longer than the voluntary,
and the heart is not paralyzed. The rigor-mortis sets in more de
cidedly and quickly than common. Putrefaction is not hastened, and
l.o organic post-mortem appearances are found, except a great accu.
Ululation of venous blood in the large veins, and even in the arteries.
" till this venous blood does not exhibit any other alteration, but
coagulates in time like other venous blood, and undergoes the same
changes from exposure to the air. The general effects of the remedy
are experienced in about seven minutes, and occur suddenly; it
proves rapidly fatal, often in the first attack of tetanus. Convalescence is slow, and the lower limbs recover more slowly than the
upper. Death takes place from a general nervous affection, attended
with spasmodic rigidity of the chest and consequent obstruction of
the circulation. On account of the large quantity of Brucea which
the False Angustura contains, it will be proper to make a few remarks
on this substance.
BRUCEA
The alkaloid Brucea or Brucin was discovered by Pelletier and
Caventou in 1819, in the bark of False Angustura. Pure Brucin,
obtained by a process of precipitation, is of a white color, and in
regular crystals of the form of oblique, prisms, having a base representing a parallelogram; it has a pearly lustre, and very bitter taste.
With acids, Brucea forms neutral salts', which differ from the salts of
Strychnia.
EFFECTS ON THE SYSTEM.-It acts energetically on the animal
economy in the same manner as False Angustura, but much more




ANGUSTURA SPURIA.-BRUCEA.


259


strongly. It is similar in its operation to Strychnia, but is considered
to be weaker. It requires four grains to kill a rabbit, whilst half a
grain of Strychnia is sufficient. A tolerably strong dog, to which
three grains of Brucea had been given, was affected with symptoms
resembling tetanus, but did not die. Pelletier is of opinion that
Brucin, or rather the alcoholic extract of False Angustura, might be
substituted in practice for the extract of Nux-vomica; its action is
nearly the same, while there is no danger of its acting too violently.
Andral has frequently prescribed it, and his deductions are that it is
far more under control than Strychnia. Like Strychnia it has been
given in cases of paralysis with varying success. It would appear
to have acted most beneficially in that resulting from lead poisoning.
M. Bricheteau, from his observations on man, and M. Bouchardat,
from his on animals, infer that Brucin is more active than is usually
admitted. In paralysis succeeding apoplexy, the former employs it
with much advantage, and agrees with M. Andral in its beingmore
manageable than Strychnia. He is of opinion that no benefit is to be
expected from it in paralysis until six months have elapsed from the
attack of apoplexy. Earlier than this it may induce serious effects,
owing to its toxical effects on the cerebro-spinal system. Magendie
administered it with success in one case of atrophy of the leg, and
another of the arm; and Lepelletier suggests its use in impotence.
EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Nerves of Motion.-Some
interesting experiments have been made to show that it acts on the
spine directly, and not on that organ through the medium of the brain.
If an animal be poisoned by inserting the extract of False Angusturabark into its hind-legs after the spinal cord had been severed at the
loins, the hind-legs as well as the fore-legs are thrown into a state of
spasm; or. if the mcdulla-oblongata be cut across, and respiration
maintained artificially, the usual symptoms are produced over the
whole body, by the administration of it internally or externally-the
only difference being that they commence more slowly, and that a
larger dose is required to produce them, than when the medulla is
not injured  On the other hand, when the spinal cord is suddenly
destroyed after the symptoms have begun, they cease instantaneously,
although the circulation goes on for some minutes.
Nerves of Sensation.-It does not act specifically upon these parts,
but has occasionally effected cures of so-called neuralgias.
Ganglionic Nerves.-We have no evidence that it acts specifically
upon these nerves, but it may be supposed that it does act upon those
portions of the great sympathetic nerve which preside over the in.
voluntary muscles.




260               ANGUSTURA SPUILIA.-BRUCEA.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTEM. Heart and Arteries.-It doubtless acts
specifically upon the muscular coat of the heart; and also upon that
of the arteries.
Fever.-It is supposed to be most homoeopathic when there is a
chilly feeling, dread of the open air, great coldness, shuddering with
a good dealof thirst, and sweat while walking. Rapid pulse, intense
thirst, general trembling, or involuntary jerkings of different parts
of the body, great sensitiveness to touch, symptoms all increased by
mental emotions, noise, light, or motion.
Venous System and Blood.-It seems to have a marked tendency
to increase the quantity of venous blood in the system. In one case
the cheeks and lips became blue; the blood in the veins was found
liquid and brownish; the left lung was bluish externally and very full
of blood. In Emmert's experiments, red parts become blue; the external blood was darker than natural, while there was a great accumulation of venous blood in the large veins and even in the arteries.
Still the majority of those effects may arise from the tetanic rigidity
of the chest and consequent obstruction of respiration, and from pressure upon the veins and arteries by the spasmodic state of the muscles.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM.-We have no proof that it acts specifically
upon the lymphatic vessels or glands.
ON THE TISSUES. Muscular Tissue.-Next to the motor-nerves, it
doubtless acts most specifically upon the muscles. The general effect
of Angustura-spuria is to produce convulsion of the spinal marrow
and of the voluntary muscles. Tetanic spasms, periodically excited
or aggravated by noise or contact, fright, swallowing of liquids, or feeling the pulse, with undisturbed consciousness and increased sensibility; opisthotonos; trismus.
Mucous Tissues.-It seems to act somewhat specifically upon the
mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and large bowels.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS. SLEEP.-Drowsiness in the day-time,
sleep full of dreams, orgasm of the blood.
MIND AND SENSORIUM.-Gloomy, discontented, taciturn mood, an.
guish, tendency to start (in animals). Want of mental energy, with
drowsiness. Dullness, particularly in the sinciput, with heaviness in
the head and drowsiness. Vertigo as if he would fall, in the evening.
HEAD.-Pain the forehead, in the evening, after a long walk in the
sun; over the left eye, or behind the brows, which feel as if swollen,
and across the root of the nose.-Creeping digging in the vertex.Dartings in the head, worse during a walk, and particularly in the
sun; in the right temple, with fullness of the head, or with dartings
in the ear.-Buzzing sensation in the left temple.-Great fullness

APIS MELLIFICA.


271


ANTIMONIUM        TARTARICUM.        (See STIBIUM TARTA,.)
27.-APIS MELLIFICA.
APIS-MELL.-Poison of the Honey Bee.-(See "New Materia Medica.")
RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION. Nerves of Motion.-We infer that it
operates as a gentle stimulant and tonic upon the anterior portion of
the spinal column. An increase of muscular power, and a tendency
to spasmodic movements of various muscles have now and then been
observed from a protracted use of large doses.
Nerves of Sensation.-It rouses the nerves of sensation into a condition of morbid excitability. A marked effect produced upon several
provers was excessive sensitiveness of all parts of the body to the
touch, the heat, and cold; and their sensitiveness was usually accom.
pained by great mental irritability.
Ganglionic Nerves.-Many facts prove that it acts specifically
upon this system of nerves. Its influence in producing muscular
contractions of the uterus, miscarriages, menorrhagia, &c., is probably due to a primary action upon the great sympathetic. Other
reflex phenomena have occasionally been noticed, which lead us to
the same conclusion.
Mucous Tissues.-Upon the mucous membranes of the tongue,
mouth, fauces, and throat it acts specifically; redness, burning, sensation of fullness and dryness are the chief effects. Two provers
experienced coryza, with feeling of swelling and burning of the
Schneiderian membrane. It acts especially upon the neck of the bladder, producing mucous and bloody micturition. Its influence upon
the pulmonary mucous membrane is evidenced by oppression of the
chest, frequent inclination to expectorate, and burning of the membrane.
Serous Tissues.-Its action upon the serous tissues is strongly
marked. Among the first effects which we experienced while proving
it, was great tenderness of the entire peritoneum on pressure, or on
turning in bed. It impresses specifically all the serous membranes,
producing that kind of inflammation which disposes to dropsical effusions. The physiological and clinical facts adduced farther on will
demonstrate this conclusively.
Muscular Tissue.-Temporarily, it exalts muscular power; but a
reaction occurs in a few hours, which leave the muscles wearied, weak,
and tremulous. The muscles are apt to become stiff, tender upon
pressure, and somewhat swollen.




272


APIS MELLIFICA.


GLANDULAR SYSTEM. Ovaries.-Upon these organs it exerts a most
powerful influence. Not only does it produce inflammation and enlargement of the ovaries themselves, but it operates specifically upon
their serous envelopes.
Tonsils.-It acts slightly upon the tonsils and the salivary glands;
but this slight action may be due to the effect produced upon the
mucous membrane covering these glands.
The action of Apis is very similar to that of Cantharides, Euphorbium, Mezereum, and Rhus, and it often succeeds when these remedies
fail. It is often wonderfully useful in erysipelatous, serous, and cedematous inflammations, and in serous effusions and dropsies; still we
have often seen it fail in our own and others' hands, when it seemed
fully indicated.-J. C. P.
CLINICAL     REMARKS.-In doses of five, ten, or fifteen drops,
three or four times a day, it is highly recommended in many
diseases of the bladder and kidneys, as well as in some uterine
affections. Some practitioners assert that it will produce abortion
in the pregnant female if its use be too long continued or when employed too freely. It seems to have been most successful in quinsy,
ascites (particularly post-scarlatinal), amenorrhooa, dysmenorrhoea,
hypertrophy of uterus, with induration, &c. Some forms of ophthal-mia, and also hordeolum or stye, erysipelas, &c., have been cured.
See the report above alluded to. For hydrops-amnii et cedema-labii,
see Peters' "Diseases of Married Females." It is appropriate in
scarlatina, when there are much heat, redness, and irritation of the
skin, great restlessness and nervous agitation, sensitiveness of the
entire surface of the body, an oedematous and erysipelatous appearance around the ulcers in the throat, frequent and painful urination, redness, heat, and burning of the tongue, disturbed sleep, and
thirst. In many instances, where the above group of symptoms have
been prominent, the third dilution of Apis has afforded speedy relief.
Its virtues in scarlatinal dropsy are well known. Operating, as it
does, specifically upon the kidneys as the main seat of the malady,
and also upon the membranes which throw out the effusion, it is
evident that it must present an excellent simile to a majority of
these cases. Post-scarlatinal dropsy, in a girl about nine years old,
developing itself a month subsequent to an attack of scarlatina, was
treated successfully, by Dr. E. A. Munger, with Apis;-the patient
was in the following condition: Puffed face, remarkably so about the
eyes; anxious expression of countenance; abdomen very much distended, and general anasarcous condition of the body; violent beating
of the heart, distinct over the whole chest; pulse 160 or more; res.

piration excessively labored, panting, and hurried; inability to assume
a recumbent posture; urine very scanty and high colored; heat and
dryness of the surface, with thirst; no pain. Aconite, Ars., Bell.,
Digit., Helleb., with no apparent change for the better; on tht con.
trary, on the second day of January, being the third or fourth day of
her present illness, the condition became still more alarming; face
and lips livid; gasping and exceedingly rapid respiration; pulse indistinct; cold perspiration, and cold face and extremities. The case
was considered as extremely doubtful of recovery; however, after
the use of Apis, 3, for about twenty-four hours, the patient began
to pass large quantities of urine, and from that time gradually re.
covered, when, on the tenth day of treatment, she was considered
perfectly cured.
A case of eruption was cured by Dr. Bishop, with the following
characteristics: commencing with small pustular formations just
under the cuticle, with burning, smarting, stinging sensation; in
coming to maturity, deposition of dry scabby matter, laminated
form, scaly, brownish, and sometimes straw-colored. Looseness of
the bowels in the morning, thin, watery, yellowish; some griping at
times, but generally painless. The looseness of the bowels had continued three or four weeks. Treatment for the last ten days, Rhus and
other anti-psoric remedies; no abatement of symptoms, either of skin
or bowels. The parts mostly affected with the eruption were the inner
portion of the thighs, also below the knees, upon the hands, face, and
back of the neck, and upon the central portions of the body. He
received Apis, first, to be taken twice in twenty-four hours, which
was followed by an effectual and almost immediate cure of both diarrhoea and eruption; no return,for eighteen months.
The cutaneous affections for which Apis is most appropriate are
urticaria, lichen, porrigo, eczema, prurigo, and certain forms of scarlatina. The special indications are, itching, stinging, pricking, and
burning of the eruptions. When the eruption presents this peculiarity, and other symptoms correspond, one of the high dilutions will
generally afford prompt relief. Dr. E. A. Munger has used Apismellifica with success in several cases of urticaria, of which the fol
lowing are the most prominent symptoms: Hard, red, somewhat
conical swellings, occurring usually on the lower extremities, below
the knees, but sometimes on the arms, and occasionally, but rarely,
on other parts of the body, varying in number and size, some being
no larger than a half-dime, others an inch or two in diameter. Heat.

RATIONALE OF ITS AcTION.-Dierbach tells us that Silver has

epilepsy; Vogt also says that it has caused cachcxia, emacia
tion, and dropsy, although he tells us. that it was used in olden
times in dropsy, ulcerous cachexia, and other obstinate diseases of
the vegetative system. G. A. Richter says, in some instances, when
given against epilepsy, the original disease has been supplanted by a
fatal dropsy, complicated with induration of the liver. From the
experiments of the homceopathists we find no proof that it is homoeo.
pathic to dropsy, except that it has caused a painless, slightly red.
dened swelling of the wrist and lower half of the fore-arm. Vogt
says it was once regarded as diuretic, but that latterly we hear little
or nothing of this effect; but, in the experiments upon the healthy,
the metallic Silver causes frequent urging to urinate, and more pro.
fuse flow of urine, while the Nitrate is said to have caused violent
irritation of the urinary organs, increased secretion, and involuntary
discharge of urine. Noack regards this effect as so marked that he
has recommended it in diabetes; hence it may prove homoeopathic to
dropsy with increased flow of urine.-J. C. P.
According to Dr. Huber, metallic Silver acts principally upon the
following parts:
1. The Articulations.-The action of Silver upon the articulations
is so uniformly the same, and so certain, that but few remedies equal
it in this respect.
2 The Bones-especially the long bones, and upon the cartilages,
particularly the cartilaginous surfaces of the ears, eustachian tube,
tarsal cartilages, cartilages of the nose, false ribs, &c.
3. The Muscles, Tendons, and Ligaments-especially those which
are in the neighborhood of joints, also upon the psoas, triceps-brachialis, &c.
4. Upon certain Glandular Organs-such as the salivary glands
and testicles.
5. Upon the Heart.-Huber recommends it in spasm of the heart,
and Noack in some heart-affections.

GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Lassitude and heat all over when
walking in the open air; he feels a sort of anguish, as if his clothes

RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-M. Poumarede has related an instance of poisoning with an ounce of the Nitrate of Silver in solution.
A few hours afterwards the individual was found insensible, with
the eyes turned up, the pupils dilated, the jaws locked, and the arms
and face agitated' by convulsions. In two hours there was some
return of consciousness, and an abatement of the convulsions, but
still complete insensibility of the limbs, with redness of the features,
and pain in the stomach. In eleven hours he could articulate. For
thirty-six hours he continued subject to fits of protracted coma; but
he eventually recovered. Sixteen hours after taking the poison he
vomited a large quantity of Chloride of Silver. Esquirol mentioned a
case in 4hich Nitrate of Silver was given freely during a period of
eighteen months, at the end of which time the patient died, and the
stomach was found destitute of the mucous coat over one-half of the
inner surface, with several points of corrosion down to the peritoneal
coat.

sprinkled appearance. Transformation of the gastric mucous membrane into a soft pulp; whitish-grey eschars near the pylorus;
cherry-redness and inflammation of the stomach in several spots, with
very great thinning, even of the muscular coat in others. Dark
cherry-red coloring and softening of the mucous membrane of the
duodenum. Thickening of the walls of the bladder. Metallic Silver
has been found in the choroid plexus, the pancreas, bones, and skin.
EXPERIMENTS ON TiE HEALTHY.-Schaebert experimented on himself with Nitrate of Silver; he first took one-eighth of a grain in one
half-ounce. of distilled water, in the morning, while fasting, and only
observed a very unpleasant metallic taste and slight burning in the
throat; several repetitions of the same experiment only.produced like
results. After taking one-fourth grain, the burning in the throat was
somewhat more persistent; after taking three half-grain doses, in the
course of three days, the burning sensation became decidedly seveie,
stools and pulse were not altered, the tongue acquired a dark bluish
color in a few places, there was an increased feeling of warmth in
the stomach, and slight nausea, disappearing after eating. After
the lapse of a few days, he took one grain, one and a half hours after
dinner, and experienced an intense burning in the throat, attended
with nausea and retching, without actual vomiting, but with a paroxysmally increased feeling of warmth and some spasm in the stomach; the tongue had a dirty brown coating for severed days, and a
slight diarrhoaa occurred towards evening and continued the next day,
relieving the pains in the stomach entirely. Besides this, he experienced annoying and dull pains in the head, attended with a peculiar
dejection of spirits, and restlessness. In three days all these symptoms disappeared; but, eight days afterwards, he took one and a half
grains in the morning, fasting; the nausea and inclination to vomit
which ensued were immediately relieved by hearty eating, but he felt
unwell the whole day, and had dull pains in his head.
Frank took small doses of the Nitrate while he was in perfect
health; he soon became indisposed, derangement of the stomach,
heartburn and water-brash set in, and lasted several days after he discontinued the Silver; he had never suffered in this way before. These
symptoms disappeared, but a neuralgic pain in the left infraorbital
region gradually developed itself, and lasted the whole winter; the
pain was persistent, and generally not very severe, but occasionally it
would become quite severe for a few moments. Simultaneously the
action of the heart became somewhat irregular; at times there would
be an intermission of its beats, with an evident and unpleasant feeling in the chest; if his attention was strongly directed to this point,

the action of the heart became still more irregular, but exercise in
the open air did not affect it. He had, at the same time, a constant feeling of fullness in the epigastrium. Sudden and violent exercise of
his muscles, such as jumping, or going fast up-stairs, and some mental
emotions, would produce rather violent palpitation of the heart; and
all the above symptoms were apt to be increased at night while in
bed. Some time afterwards, Frank took four doses a day, for two days,
of one-tenth grain each; then two-tenths of a grain, four times a day,
for two days more; then three-tenths, four times a day, for one day;
then four-tenths as often, for one day; then five-tenths, three-fifths,
four-fifths, one grain, and one and one-fifth grains, each four times a
day, for one day, when he became so unwell that he had no further
inclination to pursue his experiments. He became and remained
constipated for eleven days; on the tenth day he began to have an
aching sensation of fullness in the stomach, after very light meals
of bread and milk; his whole abdomen became very much distended
on the eleventh day; on the twelfth, violent headache was added to
the above symptoms, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he
could force himself to take any food; his nights were restless, so that
he could not stay in bed after four, A. M. On the thirteenth day
there was still greater disgust for food, with foulness of taste and
tongue; on the fourteenth day he again had violent headache, without
feeling otherwise unwell, but his night was so disturbed that he was
obliged to rise at three o'clock; he could only force down one glass
of milk during the whole of the next day, during which the very
violent headache continued, without nausea; finally, he was much relieved by taking two cups of strong black coffee, his supper tasted
excellently, but, on the following day, he could only take very small
quantities of food, on account of heartburn. His desire for food and
drink was very slight.
In another series of experiments, Frank took one-fourth of a grain
mixed with three grains of sugar of milk; he experienced a very bitter taste, with warmth on the tongue and in the throat; drinking a
little distilled water caused light eructations, and sensations such as
attend a catarrh of the pharynx and larynx. A few hours after, the
same dose was taken, solved in one drachm of distilled water, followed
by a sweetish taste and sense of warmth in the mouth; an hour afterwards he took half a grain, solved in one drachm of distilled water, and
experienced the same sensations in a somewhat greater degree; a
scratching sensation in the larynx, which caused him to hawk and
cough;, in a quarter of an hour more he felt a warmth between the
shoulder-blades and breast-bone (probably the oesophagus), which gra

dually changed into a slight aching in the epigastiium, attended with
insipid eructations; one grain doses, in one ounce of water, only caused
a very bitter taste and transient nausea.
ON THE VASCULAR SYSTEM. On the Blood.-Nitrate of Silver acts
on the system at large through the circulation; of its absorption, or
rather of the absorption of the metal in one form or another, there
can be no reasonable doubt.
Dr. Dreyer, of Moscow, thinks that it possesses a certain peculiar
and specific power of urging the fibrin of the blood to more energetic vitality, by consolidating its parts, while Kopp found, when
he let blood from a vein flow into a solution of eight grains in one
ounce of water, that it coagulated with great rapidity and quite firmly.
Frank concludes that it coagulates the albumen of the blood; also
that it diminishes or prevents the absorption of oxygen; it prevents
the putrefaction of organic substances and the decomposition of the
blood by preventing, or very much limiting the formation of sulphuretted hydrogen.
According to Mr. Blake, the Salts of Silver, when directly introduced into the blood, do not act on the heart, but operate by causing
obstruction of the capillary system. If they are injected into the
aorta, the systemic capillaries are obstructed, the nervous system is
consequently oppressed, respiration is arrested, through the medium
of this nervous oppression, and death takes place by asphyxia; the
heart continuing to beat vigorously. If, again, they be injected intc a
great vein, immediate obstruction of the pulmonary capillaries takes
place, so that the blood ceases to be transmitted to the left side of
the heart.
ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.-It is evident that the Nitrate in small
quantities, and the Chloride and Oxide of Silver in larger proportions, are absorbed into the vascular system, and thus conveyed to all
parts of the body, and consequently also to the nerves, with which they
doubtless come in immediate contact. Upon these they may exert
an irritant or astringent, or toughening action, and probably the Salts
of Silver may also enter into a chemical combination with some of
the constituents of the nervous mass, especially the alb-umen, and that
an actual and tangible Albuminate of Silver may be there formed, as it
is in the blood and in other parts of the system. In the case of poisoning before quoted, it produced.convzdsions, and hence it seems to act
decidedly upon the motor nerves of the spine and brain, while clinically it has been found more useful in epilepsy and other spasmodio
disorders than in neuralgia or other affections of the nerves of sen.

CLINICAL REMARKS. DR. GRAY.-" According to my observations, the Nitrate of Silver is eminently indicated in disturbances
of the brain, and the consequent derangements in the system generally, which have arisen from moral causes. The opinion advanced
by Miller does not correspond with the facts I have witnessed.
Epilepsies produced by moral causes (such as, for example, very
S impassioned lay-preaching), a c promptly and durably cured by a few
small doses of this drug, whilst those proceeding from abdominal
irritation, independently of moral causes, are, at best, but poorly palliated by very large and frequently-repeated doses. The same observation must, I am persuaded, hold good with respect to gastric disturbances; those only will be really cured by it which have arisen
during too great or too long-continued mental exertion.
The bodily symptoms being similar to those produced by this drug,
I should regard it as an indispensable remedy when there are the
following moral conditions:
1. A crowd of impulses to act, to move, to be busy, which, without
any distinct purpose to effect, keeps the patient in continual motion;
a state of unrest, which gives the appearance of hurry and discontent
to all his conduct.
2. The opposite of the foregoing condition; not the calmness of
deportment which occurs when the mind is in healthful contemplation, but an apathy indicative of a privation of motive or purpose; a
state verging upon, and often ending in perfect imbecility. Or,
3. Errors and defects.of perception. The erroneous perceptions
in which I have seen Nitrate useful, have been: 1. As to time; the
patient constantly fearing he should be too late, and supposing that
one or two hours had elapsed, when not more than a quarter or an
eighth of the supposed time had passed, and this all the while, night
and day, for many weeks together; and 2. Errors as to the velocity
of gait, the patient supposing that he was walking very rapidly, when
he was, in fact, moving but very slowly indeed.
Moreover, I should regard the Nitrate as the remedy (other indications existing for its use) in all severe commotions of the system
arising from too great acuteness of the perceptive organs: e. g.,
certain forms of epilepsia and chorea.
It is, I think, probable that Silver will be found as strictly adapted
to the cure of morbid perceptions, and their concomitant disturbances
in the digestive, motor, and genital apparatus, as Gold is to the
removal of diseased affections, and their consensual motory and genital diseases. However the reader may regard the foregoing specula.

permit them to have the slightest weight with him in the choice or
rejection of the Nitrate of Silver as a remedy for a case in hand;

PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY.-The plexus-choroideus and the

in the case of a female, of thirty years, who died in the Salp6triBre,
and who had taken for a long while the Nitrate of Silver against
epilepsy, and finally died of tuberculous phthisis. What is remarkable in her case is the fact that her skin had a lead-colored appearance during her life, and that this discoloration disappeared after
her death in every part of her body except around her mouth. Partial erosion of the mucous membrane of the fauces and the oesophagus;
slight detachment of the membrane. The stomach is deprived of its
mucous membrane in that portion of it which is turned towards the
o*sophagus and in the region of the curvature, the space being from
four to, five inches; the other membranes in the above-mentioned
parts of the stomach offered so slight a resistance that they were
torn by the mere weight of the contents of the stomach. More or
less intense redness of the mucous membrane of the stomach; here and
there greyish-white or blackish-dark crusts were discovered in it. The
mucous membrane having been destroyed, the muscular coat of the
stomach became inflamed, and exhibited a vivid redness, and here
and there a crusty appearance. The stomach was perforated where
the poison acted intensely. The mucous membrane of the intestines,
especially of the stomach, was covered with a whitish coagulum, or
was red and congested, or parts of it were cauterized and transformed
into white-grey or brownish-black scurfs; those parts were sometimes
seen perforated. The liver was softened, large, and flabby.. The kidreys exhibited a lead-color. The lungs and the veins of the body
looked black-green, the veins looked as if they had been injected with
black-green blood. (A portion of the vena-cava became white by
dipping it into muriatic acid). The lungs were congested, infiltrated

RATIONALE OF ITS ACTION.-Wood and Bache say that Leopard's
bane is a stimulant, directed with peculiar energy to the brain and
whole nervous system, as manifested by the headache, spasmodio
contractions of the limbs, and difficulty of respiration which result
from its use. It acts also as an irritant to the stomach and bowels.
Dierbach says that its effects are very characteristic, and that its
action upon the skin is the most marked, the functions of which it can
arouse from the most torpid state; the outbreak of perspiration, which
sometimes assumes a red color on the chest, is one of the most constant symptoms. Not unfrequently one notices a feeling of formication, and a prickling, piercing, spasmodic sensation, which has been
compared to slight electric shocks; in large doses it sometimes
produces a sensation of coldness over the whole surface of the body.
The primae-vie are soon attacked by Arnica, and eructations, stomachache, retching, nausea, vomiting, colic, tenesmus, at times diarrhoea,
but more frequently constipation, increased flow of urine, and a painful itching of the genitals, have often been noticed. Its influence
upon the organs of the chest is marked by anxiety, oppression, palpitation of the heart, and dry irritative cough. It often excites headache, attended with dizziness; the smell of the flowers is apt to
excite sneezing, whence the name of the plant, which is properly
Ptarmica. It is generally believed to possess the power of absorbing
blood which has exhaled from the blood-vessels (ecchymosis), and is
then apt to cause pain in the injured part. The pains produced by
Arnica are said to be far less severe if the patient moves about his
room than when he lies in bed.
According to Vogt, it is an acrid, athereal-oily, or exciting remedy,
which, in small doses, acts specifically upon the vegetative side of the
nervous system, and upon the motor functions; he would describe
more exactly the sphere of its action by saying that it is at those
points where the nerves and arteries lose themselves in the organia
structures, and where the veins and lymphatics arise, viz., in the

capillary vascular system, especially that of the membranous structures, viz., the external skin, the fibrous membranes, the tendons and
sheaths of the muscles, the ligaments of the joints, the periosteum,
serous and synovial membranes, the pleura, peritoneum, &c. In these
parts, in virtue of its exciting or acrid powers, in combination with
its aethereal-oily properties, it excites the actions of the nerves and
vessels, hastens the natural metamorphoses of the tissues, or arouses
them from torpor and inactivity, or retains them in a certain stage of
organic vitality when they tend towards colliquation or putrescency
Given in larger doses, it either affects the stomach especially, and
causes scraping in the throat, burning, extending down to the epigastrium, spasmodic painful contraction of the stomach, with flow of
much saliva into the mouth, unpleasant sensation of nausea, cardialgia, eructations, retchings, vomiting, followed by colic or diarrhoea;
or it may affect the whole organism, especially the brain and spinal
marrow, and excite vertigo, stupefaction, confusion of the head, glimmering before the eyes, noises in the ears, anxiety, timidity, oppression at the prsecordia, inability to stand up, followed by increased
pulsation of the arteries, violent congestions of blood towards the terminal branches of all the blood-vessels, especially to the head, chest,
and abdomen, attended with palpitations of the heart, pulsations in
the epigastrium, greater development of heat, and irritation of all the
tissues, marked by formication, prickling, piercing, trembling, subsultus, &c.; finally, the secretions are stimulated, especially those of
the skin, mucous membranes, and kidneys, which not unfrequently are
attended with haemorrhages.
CLINICAL REMARKS. HAHNEMANN.-"Arnica is a polychrest,
or remedy applicable to a great variety of diseases; exhibits its specific efficacy in all cases of injury from falls, blows, and surgical operations; is an indispensable intermediate remedy in most inveterate chronic diseases, although each dose acts only six days; is
useful in some forms of spurious pleurisy; but is always hurtful in
purely inflammatory, acute diseases characterized by external general
heat, also in diarrhoea."-ED.
For a long time popular empiricism had availed itself of the properties of Arnica, when a Belgian physician, Fehrius or Fehr, drew
the attention of his colleagues to this plant. The facts published by
him tended to show that the Arnica, whether used internally or externally, was a specific remedy for sanguineous effusions, sugillations, ecchymosis, &c. A large number of German, Swedish, and
French practitioners confirmed Fehr's observations, and its use soon
became quito extensive. According to Morray, it was successfully

used against the following maladies: external lesions, such as are
caused by a blow or fall, or contusion; a certain form of fall pleurisy;
cachexia; Eadema; atrophy,; traumatic peripneumonia; suppression
of the menses or lochia; uterine hemorrhage;,- calculous nephritis;
gout; muscular contractions; gangrene; jaundice produced by
contusions; paraplegia; hemiplegia; paralysis of the bladder;
amaurosis caused by a cerebral affection. Stoll used it with success
in certain forms of dysentery, especially in epidemic dysentery, and
also cured with it several cases of intermittent fever, a circumstance
which induced him to term it the Quinine of the poor, a designation
which, however, it does not seem to deserve. More recently it has
been lauded as a remedy for spasms, convulsions, tetanus, convulsive
cough, trembling, and evenfor the itch,; but this last is not to be relied
on. Murray states the accidents which it is capable of producing, in
over-doses, to be: vomiting, anxiety, sweats, an aggravation of pain
around injured parts, which, however, never lasted long, sensitiveness
of the abdomen, weakness of the senses and nerves, tingling, lancing,
and burning pains, or shocks resembling those produced by the electric
fluid. Homceopathically, the sphere of Arnica comprises, alltraumatic
lesions (contusions, cut or torn wounds), with their immediate consequences (internal or external hcemorrhages, fractures, luxations,
sprains, traumatic fever, syncope, tetanus, paralysis, pneumonia, hepatitis, cýc.), or their remote consequences (partial emaciation, neuralgia, intermittent fevers, 4-c.) It is particularly adapted to sanguineplethoric persons, with lively complexions, and disposed to cerebral congestions. It acts but feebly on persons who are partially debilitated,
with impoverished blood and soft flesh. It acts principally on the
muscles and cellular tissue. The boil is the one of all cutaneous
affections to which it is most adapted. Hence, again, it is more adapted
to the treatment of phlegmonous erysipelas and deep burns than
to that of simple erysipelas and superficial burns. From the fact
that Arnica frequently cures acne and boils independent of any traumatic cause, it probably cures internal maladies which emanate from
their retrocession. Much success has been obtained with the Arnica
in the homoeopathic treatment of gout, especially of the foot; also
idiopathic rheumatism, and of certain kinds of neuralgia characterized by the cutting, tearing, or wrenching character of the pains.
Arnica has Jeen used in paralysis since the time of Junker, in
1736, and, although it was for a time supplanted by Nux and Strychnine, its use was revived by Schneider in 1821, who preferred the
ethereal oil of Arnica in the paralysis which remained after apoplectic attacks, and by Graefer? who used the flowers against paralysis

from injuries. Golis rendered himself famous by his successful use
of Arnica in the latter stages of dropsy of the brain. The celebrated
Neumann has seen the most decided good effects from the internal and
external use of Arnica in acute hydrocephalus. Concussion of the
brain is often accompanied by congestion, depression of the cerebral
action, stupor, &c. All these symptoms are either prevented or re
lieved by speedily washing the parts which have received the shock
with the tincture of Arnica, which should at the same time be given
internally. A linen compress may be applied to the part, and moistened more or less frequently, according as the injury is more or less
considerable. As soon as the above-named symptoms have disap.
peared, the use of Arnica must be stopped, thie rest is to be left to
nature. The smaller vessels of the brain, when torn, have frequently
been healed by Arnica. Secondary hemorrhage in the brain, congestion of blood, secondary suppurations and effusions of lymph have
frequently been prevented by the proper and speedy application of
the tincture of Arnica.
Notes on Arnica in Pleurisy and Pneumonia.-a. In pneumonianotha Arnica is an excellent remedy, if the irritation of the vascular
system is very moderate, with a sensation of soreness of the chest, cougl
not frequent, and the expectoration of slime is streaked with blood.
b. Characteristic indications for the use of Arnica in pleurisy are
especially: uneasiness in the affected side; a constant desire for change
of position in bed; a painful soreness of the chest, with general internal heat, with cold hands and feet; or when the patient complains of
stitching pain in the affected side, with feeling of tightness of the chest,
and frequent dry cough, causing increase of pain.-HARTMANN.
c. If the expectoration in pneumonia is watery and foaming, or
brown, of foul odor, and mixed with foul blood, and brings no relief,
then Arnica will be the best remedy; also if stitching pain remains
after a deep inspiration, in traumatic inflammation after surgical operations and extensive injuries; not less useful in the rheumatic form,
especially when there is a certain degree of mental depression; also
in nervous and torpid inflammations.-BUCHNER.
d. According to Watzke, Arnica is indicated in the first stage of
pneumonia in strong-built individuals, with consensual irritation of
the brain.
e. According to Peschier, in the remaining pain in the chest, oppression, and dyspnoea, after the inflammatory condition has been removed by Aconite and Bryonia.
f. Dr. Wurmb, of Vienna, says: "As Arnica is one of the few reme.
dies which cause resorption, it is a pity that it is overlooked too often




302


ARNICA MONTANA.


by physicians in cases such as pleurisy; although Arnica appears to
act more speedily when there is an exudation of plastic lymph, never
theless it is very efficacious in serous exudations."

fic sphere of action on the lungs and pleura, with its numerous symp.

RATIONALE OF ITS AcTION.-Christison says: "' The symptoms of
poisoning with Arsenic may be advantageously considered under
three heads.
"1 First Class.-In the first set of cases there are signs of violent
irritation of the alimentary canal, and sometimes of the other mucous
membranes also, accompanied with excessive general depression, but




ARSENICUM ALBUIM.


311


not with distinct disorder of the nervous system. When such cases
prove fatal, which they generally do, they terminate, for the most
part, in from twenty-four hours to three days.
"Second Class.-In a second and very singular set of cases, there is
little sign of irritation in any part of the alimentary canal, perhaps
trivial vomiting, or slight pain in the stomach, but sometimes neither;
the patient is chiefly or solely affected with excessive prostration of
strength and frequent fainting; and death is seldom delayed beyond
the fifth or sixth hour.
" Third Class.-In a third set of cases, life is commonly prolonged
at least six days, sometimes much longer, or recovery may even take
place after a tedious illness; and the signs of inflammation in the
alimentary canal are succeeded or become accompanied, about the
second or fourth day, or later, by symptoms of irritation in the other
mucous passages, and more particularly by symptoms indicating a.
derangement of the nervous system, such as palsy or epilepsy. The
distinctions now laid down will be found in practice to be well defined, and useful for estimating in criminal cases the weight of the
evidence from symptoms."
Hahnemann, in his first essay on the homoeopathic principle,
asserts " that it has a great tendency to excite that spasm in the
blood-vessels, and the shock in the nervous system, called febrile
rigor. If it be given in a pretty large dose (one-sixth or one-fifth of
a grain) to an adult, this rigor becomes very evident. This tendency
makes it a powerful remedy as a similarly acting medicine in intermittent fever; and this all the more as it possesses the power,
observed by me, of exciting a daily-recurring, although always
weaker paroxysm, even although its use be discontinued. In typicaldiseases of all kinds (in periodical headache, &c.), this type-exciting
property of Arsenic in small doses (one-tenth to, at most, one-sixth of
a grain in solution) becomes valuable, and will, I venture to guess,
become invaluable to our perhaps bolder, more observant, and more
cautious posterity. *  *  *  *   The continued use of Arsenic,
in large doses, causes gradually an almost constant febrile state; it
will thus, as, indeed, experience has to a certain extent taught us,
prove useful in hectic and remittent fevers, as a similarly acting
remedy, in small doses (about one-twelfth of a grain). It possesses
a great disposition to diminish the vital heat and the tone of the
muscular fibre. Hence paralysis, from a strong dose, or a long-continued and incautious employment of it. It diminishes the tone of
the muscular fibre, by diminishing the tone and cohesion of the
coagulable lymph of the blood, as I have convinced myself by




312

drawing blood from persons suffering from the effects of Arsenic,
more especially such as had a too inspissated blood before the use of
this metallic acid. It also diminishes the sensibility of the nerves.
Thus, it generally seems to kill more by extinguishing the vital
power and sensibility than by corrosive and inflammatory power,
which is only local and circumscribed. It weakens the absorbent
system. I would direct particular attention to its peculiar power of
increasing the irritability of the fibre, especially of the system of the
vital functions. Hence cough, and hence the above-mentioned febrile
actions. When used for a length of time, and in pretty large doses,
it seldom fails to cause some chronic cutaneous disease (at least, desquamation of the skin). It produces acute continued pains in the
joints, as I have seen."
The following remarks were compiled many years ago, from authorities not now recollected: The earliest poisonous (!) effects
are, diminished (?) action of heart and intense inflammation of
stomach. Given medicinally! the first and earliest sign of its
action is an increased strength and frequency of. the pulse; next
follows the well-known fullness of the palpebra, and itching of the
ala-nasi. If its use be continued, the irritation of the mucous membranes extends to the fauces, inducing redness and cough, and along;with these symptoms the tongue begins to be covered with a white
fur, which, gradually increasing in thickness, gives its surface the
appearance of having been rubbed over with chalk; the action of
the heart continues to increase in force and frequency-the pulse
becomes full and hard, and, at last, a general anasarcous state is set
up. Again, the symptoms induced by an overdose are of an inflam.
matory or pyretic character. Bouillaud says it acts poisonously on
the system in two different ways: First, By exerting a specific
influence on the blood, thus giving rise to adynamia; Second, By
exciting an inflamed or sthenic condition in the parts to which it is
applied. Emery says, whenever unpleasant symptoms arise from
doses of one-fourth of a grain, they are always of a more or less inflammatory character; such as a quickened and strong pulse, sharp
pains in the region of the heart, and general feverish heat. Along
with these symptoms, he has occasionally observed a partial paralysis
of the extensor muscles of the hand. The prostration of the nervous
and circulatory systems are often fatally great, coupled with severe
structural disorganization of the stomach and bowels. Brodie, in his
experiments, always found the action of the heart excessively feeble,
although the muscular parts, including the intestines, nearly retained
their usual irritability; hence it would seem to exert a specific para

313


lyzing power upon the heart. It seems also to have almost a specific
tendency to irritate and inflame the gastric surfaces, as appears from
the fact, in several cases of fatal poisoning from its external application, that the mucous membrane of the stomach and bowels has, on
dissection, been found highly inflamed. Jaeger compares the action
of Arsenic to that of the poison of snakes, which acts primarily upon
the blood. Sproegel sprinkled it upon a wound in a dog's back, and
he found that the stomach and bowels became inflamed. Coagulated
blood was effused into the cavities of the stomach and bowels. The
pleura, pericardium, and lungs were also very much inflamed. Lachaise, of Angers, says that one-eighth of a grain has no other effect
than that of inducing speedy vomiting. One-fourth to one-half of a
grain produces more decided symptoms-stomach seriously affected,
also the bowels. Hence there was.pain in the abdomen, nausea,
vomiting, with acrid sensation in the throat. Repetition of the dose,
same symptoms, with vertigo and great prostration of strength. A.
S. Taylor gave one-third of a grain to a child of sixteen months: in
about twenty minutes it became sick, and vomited severely for three
hours, and thus recovered; it did not complain of pain. A lady, at
fifty-two, took one-half of a grain; in thirty to forty minutes complained of general uneasiness; she had no pain, but vomited violently for four hours; she then recovered. A gentleman, aged forty,
took two and one-half grains; in twenty minutes felt unwell, and
vomited for three hours; he did not recover entirely. for several
days. In these four cases there was no pain, but violent vomiting
and prostration of strength. A full stomach probably saved them all.
CHARACTERISTIC PECULIARITIES.-Arsenic exhausts the powers of
life, either of single organs or of the whole organism. It produces
decomposition of the organic substance, a cachectic condition, colliquation, which the following symptoms clearly show: Yellow, pale,
death-like color of the face, sunken eyes, haemorrhage, per rectum,
&c.; foul, destructive, easily bleeding, cancerous ulcers; eruptions
like scorbutis; black pustules; emaciation; dropsy; pthisis, &c.
Among the pains produced by Arsenic, burning pain is the most
characteristic and constant, although there are other remedies, such
as Carbo-anim. and vegetabilis, Euphorbium, Mezereum, Pulsatilla,
Secale-cornutum, &c., which produce this kind of pain, but none in
such a marked degree as Arsenic. A very characteristic effect of
Arsenic is the periodicity of its physiological phenomena, although
there are other remedial agents-such as China, Ipecac., Natrum-mur.,
Nux-vom., Pulsatilla, Rhus-tox., Veratrum-which possess this inter.
mittent character. All morbid conditions produced by Arsenic are
14

characterized by extreme restlessness, uneasiness, and almost causing
frenzy in some instances. Arsenic pain is relieved, although only
temporarily, by the application of external heat. The arsenic pain
appears mostly during rest, and is generally relieved on motion.
Roaring in the ears, during a paroxysm of pain, as in China, is a
characteristic symptom of Arsenic. Arsenic nausea and vomiting is
accompanied by extreme prostration and anguish, periodical, and
worse during rest. The cardiac symptoms point strongly to Arsenio
as a remedy or palliative in morbid conditions of the heart; also its
specific action on the external skin is very strongly marked.
GENERAL SPHERE OF AcTION.-Arsenious-acid appears to exert a
SPECIFIC influence on several parts of the body, especially the alimentary canal, the heart, and the nervous system. That the alimentary canal is specifically affected is shown by the inflammation of
the stomach produced by the application of Arsenic to wounds, and
which, according to Sir B. Brodie, is more violent and more immediate than when this poison is taken into the stomach itself. That
the heart is also specifically acted on by Arsenious-acid is proved by
the symptoms (the anxiety at the precordia, the quick, irregular
pulse, &c.), and by the post-mortem appearances (red spots in the
substance of this viscus), and by the diminished susceptibility to the
galvanic influence. The specific affection of the nervous system is
inferred from the symptoms: namely, the headache, giddiness, wandering pains, impaired sensibility of the extremities, delirium, coma,
feebleness, lassitude, trembling of the limbs, and the paralysis, or
tetanic symptoms. The alimentary canal, heart, and nervous system
are not the only parts on which this acid appears to exert a specific
influence; the lungs, the skin, the salivary glands, &c., are also specifically affected. The disorder of the lungs is inferred from the
local pain, cough, and occasional inflammatory appearances after
death. The eruptions and other altered appearances of the skin,
and the falling off of the hair and nails, sometimes noticed, have led
to the idea of the specific influence of Arsenious-acid on the cutaneous systeip; an opinion which seems further supported by the
tact of the remarkable influence it exercises in some cutaneous
diseases, especially lepra  The salivation noticed by Marcus, FerriLir, McFarley, Cazenave, and others, shows that the salivary glands
are specifically influenced. The swelling of the face, and the irritation and redness of the eye-lids also deserve notice, in connection
with the specific effects of this poison.

DR. GRAY.-" It is important that practitioners should point their
attention to the question, whether drugs which are ISOMORPHOUS are
not, on that account, allies in the treatment of disease; thus Arsenic,
Phosphorus, and Antimony, being eminent instances of the isomor.
phous relation, and being strikingly analogous in their pathogenesy,
is it not very probable that these two similitudes depend on the
same element in each-namely, an identical original force or power?
We find these drugs chemically uniting with other substances in
precisely the same atonic proportions, and producing crystals in each
case of the same form.
"The analogies between these drugs as to their pharmacotoxio
results, already very striking, would doubtless have been still more
so, if either the simple form in each case had been tried on the
healthy, or, what is the same thing, the same combination, as, for
example, the sulphuret of each had been in use for the pathogenesy.

find the rich vein of classification upon which Bcenninghausen has
empirically struck so eagerly, and yet with so little satisfaction to
his colleagues."-ED.

PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY.-The bodies of those who have been
poisoned with Arsenic generally exhibit two opposite conditions:
either they resist putrefaction for a long time, and finally look like
mummies, or else they decay rapidly; at first Arsenic seems, indeed,
to promote putrefaction, but, after a while, putrefaction is arrested by
it; according to the experience of some observers, bodies that have
been poisoned suddenly, by large doses of Arsenic, decay rapidly;
bodies that have been poisoned slowly, by small doses, become dry
like mummies.
In some cases, bodies which decayed slowly had not become very
livid even on the third day after death; there was an entire absence
of cadaverous spots, no trace of putrefaction anywhere, no very offensive smell of corruption on opening the abdominal cavity, and a complete absence of, or only a moderate rigidity; in some cases, however,
the body soon became rigid, the muscles lost their irritability, the
fingers and toes were violently contracted and bent backwards, and
the mouth was tightly closed.-As respects the mmmmy like desicca.

CLINICAL REMARKS. HI-IANEMANN.-" I have cured, by

thought of killing themselves. They took in all about the -fa oor
part of a grain of Gold. I have also cured several other important
affections, which will be found enumerated among the symptoms of
Gold, and I doubt not that much higher triturations than those which
I employed would have been sufficient for obtaining the same
results.
"Shortly after closing these introductory remarks, I had an opportunity of convineing myself that 1 U U-0-0 part of a grain of Gold will

Op., although it acts only as a palliative. A small dose of Op, probably,
also relieves the somnolence consequent upon the use of Bell. Stupor, insanity, and frenzy, produced by Bell., are homneopathicalliv relieved, in tihe
speediest and most certain maniler, by a fev snmtil doses of HI\os  The intoxication of Bell. is relieved by Wine; myself. as well as Trajus and Moibanus,
have witnessed this effect of Wine. A small dose of Bell. havin belen aldministered non-homweopathically, and being succeeded by a weeping mood, attended with chills and headache, these effects may be stayed by a similarly small
dose of Pnls. Adequate help is the most necessary when a large quantity of
the berries of Bell. have been swallowed. In this case, relief may be obtained
by large portions of strong Coffee, which restores the irritability of the muscular tibre, puts a stop to the tetanic convulsions-although acting as a mere
palliative-and secures the vomiting of the berries; this may, moreover, be
facilitated by tickling the pharynx with a long feather. The erysipelatous
swellings of Bell. are speedily removed by small doses of Hep. Camphor,
too, is a good antidote against some of the symptoms of Bell.-HAHNEMANN.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS.-According to lahnemann, Belladonna may be used as a prophylactic against the genuine, erysipelatous, smooth, and glossy scarlet fever, as described by Sydenham,
Plencitz, and others. To effect this the smallest doses of Bell. ought
to bo given every six or seven days. He says: "This great discovery of mine has been scorned and sneered at by a number of physicians, for at least nineteen years. They were ignorant of the
character of this disease, which is proper to childhood, and they were
indiscreet enough to mistake for scarlet fever the purple-rash, which
had migrated into Germany from Belgium, as early as the year 1801.
They falsely applied to this purple-rash the term " scarlet fever," and
failed, of course, in trying to cure it by means of the remedy which
I had proposed. I rejoice that, in subsequent years, other physicians
should have again observed the genuine scarlet fever, that they
should have confirmed the prophylactic virtues of Bell. against this
disease, and should have done me justice, after the unjust derision
which I had so long suffered.
" Purple-rash (Roodvonk) being a disease different from scarlet
fever, it requires to be treated in a different way. In purple-rash,
Bell. can d9 no good; and patients who are treated with Bell. in
this disease, will generally have to die; whereas all of them might
have been saved by the alternate use of Acon. and the tincture of
Coff.,-the former being given against the heat, the increasing uneasiness, and the agonizing anguish; the latter against the excessive pain
and weeping mood. Acon. and Coff. should be alternately given
every twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four hours, in proportion as one or
the other medicine is indicated. Of the Acon., I give a small portion
of a drop of the decillionth solution; of the Coff., I exhibit the millionth degree of potency in the same form and quantity. Recently,
both diseases, which are so different from each other-the Syden

benefit from Aeon., another from Bell."0

ANTIDOTES-from Noack and Trinks.-Of large doses: Opium, Coffee, vapors
of Alcohol, of Ammonia (using half a drachm of Ammon with four parts of
water to ten drops of Brom.) Magnesia.-Camphor dissolves the Brom. very
rapidly, but destroys the odor and volatility of Brom., and forms a solid
crystalline mass with Brom. Noack and Trinks suggest, therefore, Camph.
a3 an antidote.-Small doses are antidoted by: Coff.? Camph.? Am.-According to Donne and Balard, Brom. antidotes Strychnine, Brucine, and
Veratrine, which has, however, become very doubtful, in consequence of the
very exact experiments instituted by Hering.
ADMINISTRATION.-According to Hering, where pure Bromine is preferable to
higher attenuations, a drop should be taken from a vial of tincture, with a
glass stopple, by means of a fine glass tube, and quickly dropped into a tumblerful of fresh water. By pouring out part, and adding fresh water, any
degree of attenuation may be attained. One part of t3rom. to 1000 parts
of water is sufficiently powerful.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS. DR. HERING.-" The principal
curative sphere of Brom. is not scrofula, but affections of the chest,
heart, and eyes. In the most violent inflammations, as well as in
chronic affection. of these organs-for instance, consumption-Brom.
will prove extremely useful, provided all the symptoms correspond.
I have cured a number of cases of tuberculosis-pulmonalis with
Spong., 30, sometimes exhibiting it in alternation with Hep.-sulph.,
30; in some cases, however, lod., and in others Brom. may be more

advantageous. In croup, likewise, Brom. may sometimes be superior to Spong. Most kinds of croup, being originally a species of
urticaria, Ars. will, in most cases, be found preferable to Brom. In
the so-called complicated inflammation of the lungs, and in incipient
hepatization, it is as important a remedy as Phosph. It is worthy
of remark that Phosph. has a more specific action on the left lung;
Brom., on the contrary, on the right, to judge from the symptoms."

"Calcarea acts a long while. Calcarea generally acts well after
Nitric-acid, when the action of this drug, although apparently homoeopathically indicated, had been rather unfavorable; on the other hand,
Nitric-acid relieves the unpleasant symptoms of the homoeopathically chosen Calcarea, and imparts to its action a beneficent character. Nausea, consequent upon the use of Calcarea, is specifically
counteracted by smelling of the Spirits of Nitre, which act even better
in this case than Camphor. Other disagreeable symptoms of Calcarea
are relieved by smelling of Nux-vomica. Calcarea is frequently
useful after Sulphur, especially when the pupils are prone to become
dilated.
"Calcarea generally is indispensable and curative when the cata.
menia appear a few days before the period, especially when the flow
of blood is considerable. But, if the catamenia appear at the regular
period, or a little later, Calcarea almost never is useful, even if the
catamenia should be rather profuse.
"In affections of persons advanced in age, Calcarea, even after other

intermediate remedies, can scarcely be repeated with advantage; a
dose which is given after another, without any previous intermediate
remedy, is almost always prejudicial; in cases of children, howevei,
several doses may be given in succession, provided the remedy con.
tinues to be indicated; the younger the children, the more frequently
may the remedy be repeated."
NOACK AND TRINKS.-'" According to Koch, Calcarea acts especially upon the mucous membranes, on the fibrous and osseous system,
on the nervous system, on the serous tissues, on the venous and also
the lymphatic system of the abdomen, and upon the skin.      Calcarea
is especially suitable to the venoso-hcemorrhoidal, plethoric, or the
lymphatic, slow and heavy, or to the scrofulous, rickety constitution
especially when there is a predominant disposition to fluent coryza,
cold, and diarrhaea; or it is particularly adapted to frail individuals,
being poorly fed, or also to such as had, in their young years, a marked
disposition for growing fat and stout. In general, Calcarea is especially useful to the young organism; it corresponds, more than any
other remedy, to diseases of the reproductive system, which are the
basis of all the diseases inherent in the first age of man; it may
therefore be used, with especial benefit, in all scrofulous diseases, or in
the diseases of new-born children, such as ophthalmia, muscular and
nervous weakness, acidity of the stomach. Calcarea is likewise suit.
able for the diseases of females, especially when the menses are too abundant and frequent; according to Hahnemann, Calcarea is indispensable when the menses appear too soon and are too profuse, whereas
Calcarea is almost always prejudicial when the menses appear at or
after the proper time; according to Lobethal, Calcarea is, in the
former case, a beneficial remedy, which speedily and thoroughly cures
affections resulting from menstrual irregularities, such as muscular
weakness, e;cessive irritability of the nervous system, leucorrhaea.
Calcarea is suitable for fancied diseases, for hysteria, hypochondria,
melancholia, uneasiness, anguish, despondency, whining mood, peevishness, angriness, renouncing all hope of recovery, nervous weakness resulting from   onanism, muscular weakness, dijficulty of children of learning to walk. Diseases of drunkards, delirium tremens

an antidote to Camph.; on the other hand, Camph. is a great preserver of
life in cases of poisoning by Op.-Camph. is antidotal to a number of vegetable drugs, especially such as have a drastic effect. and cause vomiting and
diarrhoea, paleness of countenance, coldness of the extremities, and loss of
consciousness. Camph., as an antidote, should be administered in large and
frequently-repeated doses.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-" According to Hahnemann, Camph.,
when applied to the skin, producing a kind of erysipelatous inflammation, it may be applied externally to similarly inflamed parts,
provided the erysipelas, irradiating over the skin, and disappearing
momentarily on pressure, is a mere mental symptom of a sudden
internal disease, the other symptoms of which correspond to those of
Camph.
"In the Siberian influenza, when it appears amongst us at the
time when the hot weather has already set in, Camph. may be used as
a palliative; it is an excellent palliative, on account of the disease
having a short duration, and ought to be given in frequent and progressively-increased doses in water, as taught above.  In this way,
Camph. does not shorten the course of the disease, but deprives it of
its danger, and diminishes its intensity until it reaches its termination. (One dose of Nux-v.-one pellet of the thirtieth potence-when
homoeopathically indicated, frequently cures the disease in a couple
of hours.) Vertigo, loss of consciousness, and coldness of the body
appear to be primary symptoms of a dose of Camph., and point to a
diminished afflux of blood to those parts which are distant from the
heart; whereas the rush of blood to the head, heat in the head, &c.,
are symptoms denoting a reaction of the vital powers, just as forcibly
as the former symptoms denoted their diminished action. Slight
and recent inflammations, which have come on very suddenly, may
therefore be removed by the palliating, cooling effects of Camph., old
inflammations never. The continued, or even frequently repeated
use of Camph., frequently brings on an obstinate ophthalmia, corresponding to the permanency inherent in the reaction of the organism
I [Hahnemann] am not prepared to deny the homoeopathicity of external applications of Camph. to inflamed eyes. in acute cases; but I
cannot advocate it, for the reason that I never use external applications in the treatment of ophthalmia."
DR. GRAY.-" The sufferings which eminently indicate Camphor
are those usually called asphyxia, 'sinking of the forces;' paroxysms
of embarrassment of the respiration and circulation, with coldness of
the surface and extremities, for the most part attended by tremors or
even severe cramps in the muscular system, and cold sweats, espe.
pecially about the head and neck. If this or a similar state be con



454


CAMPHOaA.


neoted with the catarrhal discharges, or with diarrhoea, the indication
for Camph. is strengthened.
"It seems to me that the manifold antidotal virtues of this drug
are owing to its wonderful control over the pneumogastric nerve, as
its primary affinity with the living organism. I have found it often
efficacious in interrupting the development of paroxysms of epilepsy,
for which end I have given it in one or two drop doses every three
to five minutes, during the premonitory symptoms of a fit, continuing
the exhibition of it till these were fully subdued. Camphor, as is
well known, is very efficacious when administered by olfaction, but
does not sustain dynamization."
GENERAL. SYMPTOMS.-Stupefaction of the senses, resembling a swoon. Insensibility. *Loss of consciousness, tetanic spasm
for a quarter of an hour, consciousness returns after vomiting.
Rheumatic, sticking pain in all the muscles, especially between the
scapulae. Pain in the periosteum of all the bones. Diffcult motion

twitching of the limbs,. and even of the tongue, of the eyes and

pains during motion.

least touch.-~Blue, cold skin, with coldness of the body.-Pale,
withered, shrivelled skin; aching in various places, in the evening,

ANTIDOTEs.-Bry., Chin., Ipee.-It antidotes Quinine.
" This vegetable drug has been very popular in many parts of our
country as a specific for dropsy. In the essays of Drs. Parish, Knapp,
and Griscom (allopathic), cases are cited confirmatory of its popular
reputation.
" Dr. H. D. Paine, of Albany, in a note to the Editor, says: 'It is
not less popular (in some sections of Western New-York) in the cure
of diarrhcas and intestinal hcenmorrhages than it is for dropsies in your
neighborhood. In a recent case of hminorrhage of the bowels, which
came under my care, the Apocynum had been administered with decided benefit; but its allopathic repetition in increased doses was followed by an aggravation to an alarming extent of the very predicament it first relieved, which it might have otherwise perfectly cured.
"1 My former colleague, Dr. Gray, and myself, published in 1835
the following curative results in our practice: 1. In two cases of
ascites, which succeeded the use of immoderate doses of Quinine;
2. In a case of anasarca succeeding scarlet fever; 3. And in one of
extensive cedema, especially manifest on the abdomen, attended with
griping pains in the same, in a consumptive patient.
" Since then, in our experience, also in that of others, it has cured
many, and palliated very many cases of ascites and hydrothorax."-ED.

1 NOTE BY HAHNEMANN.-The weakness alluded to in this paragraph, as if
caused by a great loss of animal fluids, the symptoms indicating a disturbance
in the digestive organs, the ailments after a meal, the easily-excited sweat, especially on the back, luring motion and sleep, and the affections of the head, coostitute precisely that kind of weakness for which Cinch. is a specific, and which
affects, without almost any exception, persons who have lost a portion of their
strength by hemorrhages and frequent venesection, galactorrhcea, excessive lactation, coition, onanism, involuntary emission of semen, profuse natural or artificial sweat in disease, natural or artificial diarrhoea. When Cinch. is given for
any other kind of weakness, which is not the disease itself, its exhibition may
be followed by the most pernicious consequences, and may even endanger life.
Indeed, even in these cases, it produces an excitement, but it is not a natural
excitement, it is an over-straining of the vital powers of the patient, which may
be followed by a perfect collapse, or may entail upon the patient a cachectiS
condition of the system which it is either difficult or frequently impossible W
cure.

us that this treatment has proved successful in every case.-Dr.
Lobethal employs the tincture of Filix-mas, a few drops a day, and,
in obstinate cases, the tincture of Granatum.
127.-FLUORIC       ACID.
FLUOR. AC.-See "Transactions of the American Institute of Homoopathy."
CLINICAL REMARKS.-This acid plays an important part in
the animal economy. Brugnatelli believed that he had discovered
the existence of this acid in the gastric juice of birds, and Treviranus also believed that, when the contents of the intestinal canal of
fowls were digested in porcelain vessels, the glazing was attacked, on
account of the presence of hydro-fluoric acid. Again, the fluoride of
calicum is so integral a part of the enamel of the teeth that we must
ascribe to its presence (at least in part) the polish and extraordinary
hardness of that substance. The presence of fluoride of calcium has
also been determined with certainty in the bones of almost all animals. Berzelius found 2.1 of fluoride of calcium in the dentine,
and 3.2 in the enamel of a man's teeth. The presence of fluorine in
blood and milk has been clearly demonstrated by Dr. George Wilson.
In regard to the origin of the fluoride of calcium, Lehmann says, we
cannot doubt that it is easily conveyed into the animal system with
the food; we need only remember that many mineral waters contain
traces of fluorides, and that plants take up a little fluoride of calcium
from micaceous soils.
Fluoric acid is a solvent for some elementary principles which resist the action even of nitro-hydrochloric acid; thus, it solves silica
in particular, also silica and silicic acid. It is especially useful as a
solvent of silex in the animal economy, for small quantities of silica
are found in the blood, in the white of eggs, in bile, in urine, and in
the solid excrements, and occasionally in certain morbid concretions;
it has also been shown, by numerous experiments, that silica forms
an integral constituent of hair and feathers, and hence it is evident
that a perfect solvent for it is required, in order that it may be readily
conveyed through the most minute capillaries to its appropriate destination. Fluoric acid is an admirable solvent; its vapor is more
pungent than chlorine or any of the irritating gases. Of all substances, it is the most destructive to animal matter-it produces the
strongest caustic effects: when applied to the skin it causes violent
pain, the parts around become white and painful, forming a dense
pustule filled with matter; even a very small and hardly visible




654


FLUORIC ACID.


quantity will produce the same effects, though only after the lapse of
several hours. The smallest quantity, applied to the hand, excites
violent itching, and pustules filled with matter are soon formed, ac.
cording to Liebig; in fact, the acid unites itself to the skin to such
a degree that it cannot be washed off, even by means of carbonate of
soda, although the pain may be mitigated. The solution of one fortyeighth of a grain, and even that of one-sixteenth, does not produce
either pain or redness; one-eighth of a grain, however, produces
some pain, redness, and heat, the epidermis falling off in scales after
the lapse of a few days. In consequence of its solvent action upon
flint, fluoric acid acts energetically upon glass; the transparency of
the glass is instantly destroyed, and heat is evolved. As fluoric acid
is sometimes developed in excess in the stomach, we may hazard the
Sconjecture that it sometimes gives rise to intense suffering, and may
even be the cause of the well-known perforating ulcer of the stomach.
An excess of the acid will also cause rapid caries of the teeth, and
may even cause felons, &c., &c.
In order to give a better idea of its action in its concentrated
state, we append the following case, from Frank's Magazine: Franz
Pschick, assistant in the Chemical Institute of Dr. Jacquin, made
some experiments with it publicly, December 23d, on which occasion
he accidentally exposed his hand to the fumes of fluoric acid for
about one minute. An hour after the occurrence, while engaged in
cleaning some instruments in warm water, he experienced a very
troublesome prickling in the extremities of the fingers, and, shortly
after, such violent pain as obliged him to stop short from his work;
soon after this he felt a chilly sensation in his left arm, gradually
extending all through his body; in the evening, when he was seized
with a violent fever and chill, he mistrusted the real cause of his
suffering. The pain now became intolerable, and the integument of
the hand very much swollen. On the morning of December 24th
all the fingers of the left hand, but especially the thumb, were very
much inflamed and discolored, with very great stiffness of the first
and second phalanges, and severe pain extending to the axilla. He
then put his hand in albumen, drank water with some Nitrate of
Potash, and applied a poultice of raw potatoes to his hand, all of
which eased his condition somewhat. Towards evening, however,
the pain and swelling increased again; he reapplied poultices, but
could not sleep during the night. On the twenty-fifth the extremities of the fingers had all become white, and the thumb covered with
large blisters, attended with severe pulsating pain in the same; on
opening one blister after another, a thick, brown, and very offensive

us to consider it as an indication of the curative virtues of Gent. in
femoral hernia.
If the remedy be truly homoeopathic to the disease, a few drops of the
tincture may be the appropriate dose in some cases, in others a few
pellets of the first, third, ninth, twelfth (and probably of a much
higher potency) may be found sufficient.

Staph., Sulph., Tartar, Teucr., Val., Verat., Zinc.
ANTIDOTES.-In case it should have been administered in too large a dose,
and should have produced an excess of sensibility, susceptibility, or hurriedness, &c., Coffee is the antidote; but, in cases where it has been exhibited
without being homoeopathic to the disease, its effects may be antidoted by
Puls., Cham., and sometimes by Coc., Arn., Camph., or Vinegar.
CLINICAL REMARKS.--" The St. Ignatius' Bean contains four
times the amount of Strychnia that the Strychnos Nux-vomiea does;
but its effects are not purely those which would result from a more
concentrated or prolonged administration of Nux-vomica. It also
possesses properties peculiar to itself, and which cause an actual
difference in the action of the two drugs. Besides the strong specific
effect upon the medulla-oblongata and spinal cord, which Strychnia
exerts, the Ignatia seems to affect the whole encephalon."
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Simple pains, which are apt to become
excessive by contact. Creeping through the whole body, apparently in
the bones.- Tingling in the limbs, as if they had gone to sleep. Weariness of the feet and arms. Feeling of weakness and exhaustion in the

MERC.-Duration of Action: In regard to this subject Noack and Trinks offer the
following remarks:-The effects of this metal, when given in large and frequently-repeated doses, develop themselves more or less slowly, sometimes
reappear after long intervals, and frequently last days, weeks, months, years,
and even through life. The intensity of its action upon the animal organism
may be inferred from the fact that this agent, no matter in what form it is
administered, is discovered in the solids and fluids of the organism in the
original form of Mercury, provided its use is continued long and frequently.
It has been found in the blood (Shubarth), in the urine (Cantu), in the bile
(of those animals to which Quicksilver was given, Autenrieth), in the sweat
(Brinkmann, Cruikshank), &c., &c., &c. Small doses of this drug and its
oxydes (except the Sublimate) act slowly; it is therefore necessary, even according to Hahnemann's own opinion, that the doses should be frequently
repeated in urgent cases, such as syphilis, combined with scrofulosis and
tuberculosis.

CINICAL      REMARKS, &c.-The combination         of M1ercury
and Iodine, in equal atoms, I first prepared according to Hahnemann's
directions, and introduced into homoeopathic practice in 1840. A favorable opinion of the value of a combination of these two medicines
was the result of practical observation, first from an alcoholic solution,
and then by trituration. The latter is decidedly the best, and the only
one that should be used. The first trituration has generally been used
by me, and I am not aware of any very satisfactory results from
higher attenuations. If the medicine is discontinued too soon, or
higher potencies substituted, the patient will often relapse.

fevers, particularly those fevers of a typhoid type, enlargement of tho
inguinal glands and testicles during "gonorrhcea" or lues, a feeling
of soreness of the scalp on combing or brushing the hair. Inflammation of the meibomian glands, with ulceration and adhesions of the
lids in the morning, from an accumulation of matter on the edges of
the lids. Inflammation and ulceration of the conjunctiva and sclerotica, with elevated, granulated, and swollen surface. (Scrofulous
ophthalmia), chronic inflammation of the lachrymal sac and duct.
Catarrhal inflammation of the posterior nares. The whole mucous
membrane of the nose inflamed, and the wings of the nostrils excoriated, from the profuse discharge of corrosive mucus, particularly in
children. Nasal bones sore to the touch, and black spots on the
skin.
MOUTH.-Sordes about the teeth and lips. Dry lips, tongue dry,
and deeply chapped in the centre, deeply coated, whitish, ash-colored,
velvety, deep yellow, or brown. Ulcers are scattered along the margin
of the tongue, with red edges and an ashy-gray centre, the edge of
the tongue shows the prints of the teeth where it rests against them.
The gums easily bleed and look spongy, or have small ulcers of the
same character as those on the tongue. The buccal and submaxillary
glands are enlarged, inflamed, painful, throbbing, or hard, painless
and hypertrophied; parotids and tonsils are in a similar condition,
and there is an abundant flow of tough saliva, with cough and expectoration of yellow mucus, or transparent frothy mucus, with an occasional heavy flake in the centre. The teeth are sore and feel as if
elongated, with sharp shooting pains proceeding from them up the
side of the face to the temples and head.
THROAT.-The uvula, tonsils and isthmus-faucium are inflamed.
The mucous membrane of the posterior nares, pharynx, &c., is
changed from its normal pale red hue to a deep scarlet, or even
purple, as the inflammation advances in severity. As it passes to a
chronic form the inflammation appears more in patches, of an irregular
circumscribed form, growing paler towards their circumference, until
it is blended in the color of the surrounding membrane into which it
merges. From the surface of these patches a quantity of tough,
white, or yellowish mucus is discharged, which keeps the patient constantly coughing, or hawking, to clear the air passages. In some
cases, where the passage of the disease is rapid, and the inflammation
is intense, the membrane is smooth, shining, tense, glossy, and dry;
the capillary vessels, which in the healthy condition of the parts are
not seen, now become distinctly visible from their enlargement.  In
some instances the mucous follicles are so much impaired in their




438


8IEACtrJtItUS JdDATU'S.


function as to cease to throw out any healthy mucus, and the entire
entrance to the air-passages, and cesophagus, and palatine arch, is
deep red, and dry, except spherical drops of water which stand on
the surface like sweat, presenting the appearance of an erythematous
inflammation, with exudation very analogous to that which appears on
the skin. The epiglottis, particularly at its root, is more abundantly
supplied with mucous follicles, and hence is most affected by this
condition.  The inflammation extends from the lingual surface of
the epiglottis to the laryngeal surface, and by continuity to the entire
surface of the larynx, trachea, and bronchial ramifications. The voice
is changed, or entire aphonia may take place as the inflammation
extends to the larynx and involves the chordme-vocales in ulceration.
At this stage, in addition to the character of the expectoration, we
have the following signs of this extension of disease: external pressure upon the larynx produces pain and sometimes cough, which latter
is of a peculiar cracking character, with a rattling in the throat. In
the second stage of some forms of this disease of the throat, particularly when the first stage has passed off slowly, the surface is raw,
the epithelium, which in the healthy condition of the mucous membrane covers its surface, being entirely destroyed, the mucous glandule will gradually swell and project, showing small pea-like granulations studding the entire surface, in a state of hypertrophy, the
transparent and bland mucous secretion of the healthy state by this
transformation to diseased action becomes opaque, vicid, and tough,
causing a constant disposition to cough or hawk, which brings off a
large quantity of this diseased mucus.
A feeling of soreness attends upon pressing the larynx, upper end
of the sternum, and under the clavicles, with weariness and oppression.
and a rattling " rale muqueux," which the patient notices, in the
larynx and trachea, and auscultation discovers this rattling to extend
more or less throughout the chest. The respiration is hurried, and
the pulse over 100, small and wiry, slight chills and fever, followed
by perspiration twice in twenty-four hours. Percussion exhibits a
dull sound throughout the clavicular region and upper lobes of the
lungs, and tuberculation, more or less extensively developed, or
hepatization, which often follows inflammation of the lungs. Emaciation, hectic fever, night and morning cough, with mucous or mucopurulent expectoration, leaves but little hope, even from this agent,
after all other means have proved abortive. I have been more minute
in the details of this portion of the diseases of the mucous and glandular tissues, because this is by far the most important sphere of the
action of the Protiodide of Mere.

196.-NITRI SPIRITUS DULCIS.
[From Noack and Trinks.]
During the hospital typhus of 1813, Hahnemann recommended this
agent for the following symptoms: Indolence of the internal sensus
communis, a sort of semi-paralysis of the mind; the patient lies quiet
without sleeping or talking; he scarcely answers any question, even
when urged; he appears to hear without understanding, the few
words he utters are uttered with a low tone of voice, and are rational;
he does not seem to feel anything, and is motionless, without being
paralyzed.-Hahnemann suggests that the Spirits of Nitre, should be
old enough not to redden the cork. He mixed one drop of the Spirits

with one ounce of water, and gave this solution within twenty-four
hours, in tea-spoonful doses. (See Hahnemann's "Lesser Writings.")
The Spirit of Nitre has cured the following symptoms, resulting
from an abuse of common table-salt: Pale face with sunken eyes;
languor; emaciation; extreme ill-humor, discouragement, disposition
to quarrel and to be vehement; want of disposition to talk or work;
heat in the mouth; heartburn; sour taste; loss of appetite; constant

ANTIDOTES.-(When taken in large doses.) As the vomiting in such cases is
speedy and continual, emetics are unnecessary, and will often fail of their
effect; besides, during the time lost before their operation, the acid would, in

by tickling the throat. Chalk is one of the most valuable antidotes, given in

and Ether are worthy of trial. The stomach pump may be used, but, on account of the rapidity with which this poison acts, it is not advisable to lose

CLINICAL     REMARKS.      DR. NEIDHARD.--   "The disease in
which I have most frequently made use of Rhus, is rheumatism
characterized by the following symptoms-it is a form of rheumatism
which is most common in our climate: rigidity, paralytic weakness
in the joints with stinging pain along the tendons and muscles




RHUS TOXICODENDRON.


1013


Swelling and redness on or near the joints. Rheumatism of the
hip-joint and wrist seems to be most effectually controlled by its
action. THE GREATEST RIGIDITY AND PAIN IS EXPERIENCED ON FIRS'
MOVING THE JOINTS AFTER REST, AND ON WAKING UP IN THE MORNING. After the joints are moved for a while the pain is lessened.
This symptom is mentioned by Jahr. Its paramount importance has
been evidenced to me by numerous cures. Jahr lays, however, more
stress on. the symptoms aggravated by rest. More than sixty cases
might be detailed in this place, where rheumatic affections, characterized by the above symptoms, were removed in the shortest time
by Rhus-tox., 3 to 30. In several of these cases other homoeopathic
remedies had been prescribed in vain."
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.--~Affections of the ligaments, tendons, and synovial membranes. ODcficient plasticity of the blood,

PATHOLOGY.-Its action on animals would appear, from the
experiments of Magendie, to be somewhat peculiar. He found that
dogs, like man, may take' a large dose with impunity-for instance,
half an ounce, if they are allowed to vomit; but that, if the gullet is
tied, from four to eight grains will kill the~m in a few hours. His
subsequent experiments go to prove that death is owing to the poison
ezes~ing iiy'ammation of the lungs. Six or eight grains dissolved,
in water were injected into a vein; the animal was attacked with
vomiting and purging, and died within an hour.. Post-mortem, appea~rcrnces.- redness of the whole villous coat of the stomach and
intestines, and also the lungs wvere of an orang-e-red or violet colotr

spleen, and here and there even hepatized. A larger quantity caused
death more rapidly, without affecting the alimentary canal; a smaller
quantity caused intense inflammation there, and death in twenty-four
hours, but the lungs were always more or less affected.
It is a fact, too, worthy of notice, that in whatever way this poison
enters the body, its effects are unearly the same, This is shown, not
only by researohes of Magendie, just mentioned, but likewise by
the experiments of Schlcepfer, who found that.a scruple dissolved in
twelve parts of water, and injected into the windpipe, caused violent
vomiting, difficult breathing, and death in three days; and in the
dead body both the lungs and stomach were much inflamed, particularly the former. It further appears, from an experiment related by
Dr. Campbell, that, when applied to a wound, it acts with almost
equal energy as when injected into a vein. Five grains killed a cat
in this way in three hours, causing inflammation of the wound, and
vivid redness of the stomach. He did not find the lungs inflamed.
Magendie infers, from his own researches, that Tartar-emetic occasions death when swallowed, not by inflaming the stomach, but
through means of a GENERAL LNFLAMMATORY state of the whole
system, subsequent to its absorption,-of which disorder the affection
of the stomach, and even that of the lungs are merely parts or symptoms. The later experiments of Rayer tend in some measure to
confirm these views, by showing that death, may occur without inflammation of any kind being excited anywhere.
Orfila has proved by analysis the important fact that Tartar-emetio
is absorbed in the course of its action, and may be detected in the
animal tissues and secretions. He found that, when it is applied to
the cellular tissue of small dogs, two grains disappear before death;
that Antimony may be detected by his process throughout the soft
textures generally, but especially in the liver and kidneys; but that
it is quickly discharged from these quarters by the urine. Hence,
in an animal that died in four hours, he found it abundantly in the
liver, and still more in the urine.
Dr. Nevins experimented on ten rabbits, the doses varied from
one-half to two grains; it required from twelve to seventy-three
grains, in diyided doses, to cause death.  For the first days no
striking symptoms were present; then the animals lost spirit in a
great degree, and gradually became emaciated, but continued to take
food almost to the hour of death. All who lived beyond the tenth
day had diarrhcea-rabbits are incapable of vomiting. Cramps were
not present in a single instance, but several died in violent convul.
sions for one-quarter of an hour before death. The mouth was very




1118

severely ulcerated in several. One pregnant rabbit continued to
increase in size and weight for two weeks, when all motion in the
belly ceased, she lost weight and flesh, and died while giving birth
to a litter of seven dead immature foetuses.  Emaciation often
extreme, so that not a trace of fat remained in the body. Mouth
ulcerated. Stomach frequently inflamed in patches, but not throughout; sometimes, but rarely, ulcerated-always more than half full of
blood. Pylorus frequently so thickened and indurated as to resemble cartilage under the knife. Small bowels frequently inflamed
in patches, but rarely ulcerated. Intestinal glands sometimes excessively enlarged. Large bowels generally healthy. Liver generally
congested in parts, occasionally inflamed, hard, or brittle. Kidneys
generally more or less congested, sometimes one only, at others the
upper portion of one and the lower of the other. Bladder generally
distended with urine and more vascular than usual. Brain generally
healthy. Lungs and trachea frequently congested, sometimes highly
inflamed; the two lungs seldom alike. In several cases there was
extensive extravasation of blood upon the surface of the lungs, and
of the liver and stomach, and beneath the mucous surface of the
ceccum. Heart healthy and generally full of black coagulated blood.
It was always present in the liver after five grains were given;
appeared in this organ before it was clearly proved present in any
other organ except the stomach. It appeared next in the kidneys, and
after the fifteenth day was present in the bones. Its presence was
also lastly proved in the blood, lungs, urine, faces, both hard and soft.
In the brain it never was clearly present, and its evidence in the
muscles was very slight. It was constantly passing off by the urine
and feces, and was discovered in both these excretions, abundantly
in some rabbits which survived twenty-one days after the last dose
was given; and in the feaces was slightly present eighty days after
the last dose. It disappeared from the liver about the fifteenth day,
and from the kidneys somewhat later; whilst it was found abundantly in the bones thirty-one days after the last dose. In the
litter of seven it was found abundantly in the placenta and livers,
examined separately; in the remaining contents of the abdomen, in
the contents of the chest, in the flesh and bones.
CLINICAL REMARKS.-The homoeopathicity of this medicine
in variola is strongly marked; and it is now recognized by the phy.
sicians of our school as one of the most important remedies.
Dr. Lichtenstein, of Brunswick, says of the Tartar-emetic pustule,
"The clear lymph of the pustules which arise from the external ap.
plication of Tartrate of Antimony produced inoculation pustules which




TARTARUS STIBIATUS.


1119


are quite undistinguishable from those produced by vaccination. They
seem to confer the same protection from cow-pox and small-pox; they
excite fresh pustules by inoculation, and, in general, in other respectb,
would appear to be analagous to cow-pox." The first experiment he
made with them was in the summer of 1836; but, as he never heard
of any similar ones, he was then diffident about them; up to this
time he has made thirty-one vaccinations and revaccinations with
lymph of Tartar-emetic pustules, and has found them, in all their
relations, analagous to cow-pox lymph. Bethmann reports the case
of a patient whose body was covered with numerous and large pustules filled with pus, and whom he treated unsuccessfully with Sulphur. He administered one grain of the fourth trituration of this
remedy, and, in a short time, the skin became clear, and the eruption
disappeared without leaving cicatrices. Dr. Liedbeck, of Stockholm,
states that he has never seen a case of small-pox terminate fatally
when treated by Tartar-emetic in doses smaller than those ordinarily
given. He states that all his cases yielded to Tart.-ant., in small
doses, without leaving a vestige of any after-effect. He states that
the identity of the Tartar-emetic pustule with the small-pox pustule
first suggested to him the remedy, and its property also, according to
Hahnemann, of producing miliary fever, scabs, &c. All the symptoms are vastly mitigated by the use of Tart.-stib., in doses of one-half
to one grain, dissolved in a pint of water, administered in tablespoonful doses every fourth hour. Often after the first dose he has found
the tongue clearer, the fever subsiding, and even the difficulty of
swallowing was much less when the remedy had been administered in
time. Dr. Berg regards it as the one remedy to be relied upon when
there is irritation of the respiratory mucous membranes. He states
that, in the Stockholm epidemic of 1838-39, this complication seems
without exception, to have been the cause of the fatal terminations
when such occurred; and while, where the, disease was uncomplicated, he left it to itself, if bronchial irritation declared itself, he
ordered the repeated use of Tart.-ant. in small doses. Dr. L. says
that, after nine years' further experience, he would refer to the administration of Tart.-stib. as a substitute for cow-pox inoculation.
In Froriep's "Notizen" it is stated that tartarized Antimony, in large
doses, has produced dryness, heat, and redness in the throat, as also
internal eruption; in the mouth, throat, larynx, and trachea even
were found large pustules with depressions in their centres. He
avers that, in confluent small-pox, there is no doubt that it is a febrifuge remedy, and allays the irritation of the skin better than any
other remedy. I became acquainted with Lichtenstcin's cxperiments




1120


TARTARUS STIBIATUS


fully twelve years ago, and believe I was the first in this country
strongly to recommend Tart.-emet. in small-pox, variola, and many
pustular and suppurative affections. It is the homceopathic remedy,
par excellence, against purulent and suppurative affections.-PETERS.
In bilious erysipelas, or in that originating with strongly-marked
gastric disorder, Desault advises Tartar-emetic, largely diluted. He
states that he has seen the symptoms entirely subside under its use,
although the medicine produces no other sensible alteration in the
animal economy than an increase of perspiration and of urine. More
recently, Dr. Welsh expressed his opinion that this salt acts specifically on erysipelatous inflammation. He says, that there is no form
of the disease which should not in the first instance be attacked with
Tartar-emetic, whether there be high inflammatory fever, low fever,
vomiting, or purging; under all and every circumstance we shall
find, he adds, that the disease will yield to this remedy. A tonic
course is sometimes necessary to complete a cure.
I?/lammations.-In inflammatory, continued, and remittent fevers,
Tartarus-emeticus is a most valuable remedy, fulfilling two important
indications -viz., subduing the morbidly increased action of the
heart and arterial system, and determining freely to the skin. Unless
contra-indicated by great gastric irritability or cerebral complications, a strong antimonial solution, at the outset of the attack, may be
given with manifest benefit, although it does not, as formerly supposed, cut short the fever. In the more advanced stages of fever,
Ant.-tart., every one or two hours, in alternation with Opium, exercises a most beneficial influence. In those cases where it is inadvisable or impossible to administer Antimony 'by mouth, it is recom*nended to exhibit it by means of an enema; for this purpose it
should be thrown high up into the bowels by means of a long flexible
tube. In this way you can secure all the good effects of Antimony
in overcoming congestion of the brain and in procuring sleep. In
the cerebral complications of fever, Dr. Graves speaks in the highest
terms of the efficacy of Opium and Tartar-emetic; in the third and
last stage he has also employed it with great benefit, conjoining it
with a slight tonic or stimulant treatment.
In intermittent fevers, an antimonial preparation, unless contraindicated, given at the outset of the attack, is attended with evident
benefit. In mild cases, a complete cure is often effected by its continued use, every two hours, strict attention being paid at the same

proceed with the Antimony. He uses quite a weak preparation, viz.,
one grain of the pure salt to a hundred ounces of water, sometimes,
however, using ten grains to a hundred ounces. Should complications
exist, they are to be met by the use of the appropriate remedies,
but they need not interfere with the continued use of the Antimony.
In acute inflammation of the heart or its membranes, in that of
the lungs, pleura, peritoneum, the brain and its membranes, and also
in acute bronchitis, Tartar-emetic is a powerful therapeutic agent. It
controls the action of the heart and arterial system, lowers the force
and frequency of the pulse, depresses the action of the vascular
system, increases the urinary secretion, and produces a certain
amount of diaphoresis. There are few inflammations which will not
yield to it if taken at an early stage, but the patient requires to be
carefully watched, and any signs of returning inflammation to be met
by a repetition of the same remedy. There are some inflammations,
however, in which Antimony must be administered with great caution; thus, in acute meningitis it should never be given in such doses
as to produce vomiting; should this symptom supervene, its use
should be suspended, or at least the dose diminished. In pleuritis,
also, it is necessary to guard against its emetic effect; and in neplhritis it is seldom admissible, in consequence of the great tendency
to vomiting which generally accompanies this inflammation.  Dr.
Watson considers Antimony most useful in inflammations of mucous
membranes, and not nearly so valuable a remedy as Mercurius when
serous membranes are the seat of disease. When, however, these
remedies are alternated, they appear almost equally useful, whether
the seat of inflammation be the mucous or serous surfaces.
Pneumonia.-According to Magendie, it acts specifically in inflaming the lungs and the mucous membrane which lines the intestines from the cardia to the anus. Lepelletier also remarks, " Its
effects on the respiratory organs are, to produce dyspnoea in dogs
which were in perfect health before its administration: the lungs
were found hepatized, had lost their color, and scarcely crepitated at
all. One would imagine that, admitting its action in man to be
similar, far from being useful, its administration would be particularly pernicious in pneumonia, but it is not so, for, far from favoring
engorgement of the lung, it induced its resolution."
The indications for this remedy in croup are (besides its physiological effects) based on the predominating symptoms of a partial
paralysis of the pneumo-gastric nerve. The short, hoarse, nearly
suffocative breathing is accompanied by a whistling noise, heard
even at a distance, whilst the thorax expands only with the greatest

muscular effort, and.the greatest anxiety and uneasiness, together
with great prostration are manifested. The head is thrown backwards; face livid and cold; the forehead, and sometimes the whole
body are covered with a cold sweat; pulse small and very much
accelerated, or depressed and slow; drinking causes great difficulty,
both owing to spasm and incomplete contraction of the muscles of the
throat. The remedy should be administered in strong doses, repeated
every hour or half hour. The effect is a remarkably rapid diminution of all the symptoms, without producing diarrhoea, vomiting, or a
profuse sweat. The children fall into a gentle sleep in two or three
hours, breathe freely, cough easily and loosely, expectorate a thick,
lumpy, greenish mucus, their skin becomes moderately warm, and the
pulse becomes small, weak, and mostly remarkably slow.-Quarterly
Hom. Journal.
CLINICAL NOTE BY Dn. GRAY.-" 1. I have given the Tartar-emetic
with success in a case of apoplexy, accompanied by fruitless efforts to
vomit. The patient, a woman of sixty years, after lying quite unconscious for nearly twenty-four hours, had partially recovered her senses
for forty-eight hours before I saw her, but had taken neither food nor
driink. Her efforts to vomit were repeated about every half-hour,
Between these turns she appeared to be in an uneasy coma. The
remedy was given in a watery solution, one-sixtieth of a grain, and
this one dose was completely successful; no more efforts at vomiting
occurred, the coma disappeared rapidly, and a hemiplegia, which
remained after the full restoration of her consciousness, faded away
in a very few days. No other remedy was exhibited.
" 2. I have for many years been in the habit of treating the coma
which occurs in the height of febrile paroxysms, especially the violent
ephemeral attacks to which young children are liable, by the Tartar.
emetic in doses of the one-hundredth of a grain, repeated every hour
till the heat and coma abate. The presence of vomiting strengthens
the indication for the drug so much as to make it advisable to give a
smaller quantity, and at intervals of from a half to a full hour longer.
The very hot paroxysms of fever, occurring in the course of dentition,
and especially such as are excited by errors of diet, and tend to the
development of severe convulsions, have been much more satisfactorily
treated by this drug than by the Aconite, Belladonna, or Chamomilla,
which I have often applied singly and seriatim, as is the general
practice in our school. The first sign of abatement in the fever, or
coma, is, with me, the signal for stopping the remedy.
"3. In the first stage of influenza (generally of itself a fugitive
state), I think it by very much the most strictly indicated, and, on




TARTARUS STIBIATUS.


1123


that account, as well as from my own observations in many hundreds
of cases, by very far the most efficacious means we can apply. The
state against which I give it is: lassitude with great sensitiveness to
cold, with chilly feelings, headache, pasty tongue, inflammation of the
throat (tonsils, arches of the palate or pharynx), short turns of nausea,
achings in the bones, especially of the lower extremities, yellowness
of the skin, slight hoarseness, more or less fever-heat and sweats.
"The Antimony often acts as a perfect remedy in the stage of incubation, especially in those cases which would of themselves close this
stage by profuse watery diarrhoea with some vomiting and cramps.1
"The second or bronchial stage of the true influenza having been
successfully managed by Phosphorus or Bryonia with the aid of Aconite
or Hyoscyamus, I complete the cure by a return to the Antimony; that
is to say, when the air-passages are loaded with mucus, the cough
being frequent and the expectoration copious.
"4. I have preferred this preparation to the crude Antimony in the
treatment of acute inflammatory rheumatisms, in cases embarrassed
by gastric symptoms, which, according to our authorities, call for that
preparation. My reason for this choice is, that the Tartar-emetic has
produced the desired result more promptly in my hands than the
crude Antimony.
" 5. In the treatment of gastric and bilious fevers, I have, for the
same reason, done the same thing; and that for many years past, and
with equally satisfactory results.
" 6. Respecting the malarious fevers, I suggest, with unfeigned
diffidence, the application of the tartarized Antimony, in doses of the
one-sixtieth of a grain, repeated every two to four hours throughout
the whole period or stage of incubation, and further still (unless very
strong indications for other drugs are developed), even till the fever
assumes a distinctly intermittent character, admitting of its then
denoted specific, as, for example, China, Arsenic, or Ipecacuanha.
" If, however, the dose above indicated produce any sensible effects,
especially if it provoke nausea, or clearly aggravate it when previously
present, I would immediately stop its use for twelve hours, giving in
the interval a dose or two of Pulsatilla, and then resume it, in a
S This stage, of which the angina-faucium, the chills, and the bone-pains are
the prominent sufferings, subsides of itself in twenty-four to forty-eight hours,
and the physician is very apt to be deceived as to the efficacy of his treatment.
The allopathist praises his atrocious lancet and heroic purgatives, and the
homceopathist his Mercuries, or Belladonna or Nux, and the patient in either case
thinks a wonder has been done for him; but the disease, if it be a real influenza,
is not removed; it has only advanced a step beyond the process of incubation,
towards the stadium of bronchitis, with its concomitant cough, dyspncea, feversweats, and prostration.

smaller quantity, say the first or second trituration. The success of
our school in the treatment of severe forms of malarious fevers has
not been such as, in my judgment, to render this suggestion respecting
the Antimony wholly superfluous. It is my conviction that this drug
covers more of the symptoms of the bilious fevers of our climate, in
the first seven to fourteen days of their existence, than any other as
yet known; and I am accordingly persuaded that the riper experience
of later times will give it, in our school, the rank which George
Fordyce in vain sought to give it a hundred years ago in the ordinary practice.-(See his "Essay on Fevers.")    Dr. Fordyce says
that, given below the nauseating point, throughout the continued
fevers (of England), it produced better results, especially when solely
relied on, than any other treatment then known.
" 7. In croup, the Tartar-emetic, in watery solution, applied in all
states prior to the deposition of plastic lymph (diphtherite), is in my
opinion, a safer practice than the Acon., Spong., and Hepar., hitherto
so much, and as, I think, unjustly lauded in our books.
" 8. The Tartar-emetic is certainly a simillimum to variola and
varioloid. In the incubation of these diseases I give it in doses of
the I-- of a grain; later, in the second and third trituration. Since
treating them in this way (now fifteen years), I have not had an
instance of retrocession of the eruption. 1 Should I be called to such
a case, I should rely on the same remedy, but in a high attenuation.
"9. I desire again to call the attention of the heroic men of our
school, who are really engaged in testing the physiological powers of
the drugs on their own persons, to the facts that Antimony, Arsenic,
and Phosphorus produce very analogozus results in the healthy, and
that these great drugs have isomorphous relations with each other.
"It is certainly worthy of sturdy inquiry whether isomorphous
drugs can be used as substitutes for each other in any or all cases;
for, if the curative power be that unknown force which determines
their atomic relations and their crystalline form, then not only will a
test be presented whereby the errors and falsities of pathogenetics
(a canker-worm in homceopathy) may be corrected promptly and
soundly; but, by the simple consideration of these known elements,
the atomic relations and crystalline dimensions, we may be enabled
to determine the therapeutic value of very many, as yet untried
agents of the future art of healing."
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Weariness in every part of the body.
1 I have been informed by a physician, of this city, that he has produced the
Tartar-emetic pustules on the skin, by its internal administration, in two instances of phthisis-pulmonalis.

PREFACE.


Having been requested by Mr. Radde to superintend
the publication of a new edition of Jahr's Manual, we
have added in an Appendix to the original work a list
of the neew rermedies with which our Materiia Mfedica has
been enriched by several of our best physician.s during
the last three or four years. We have been obliged to
exclude all that is purely speculative and hypothetical,
of which there is unfortunately a great deal; and we
have contented ourselves with presenting a condensed
synopsis of all that is truly useful and practical in
the numerous contributions alluded     to, of which
there is likewise an amazing amount.

NEW            REMEDIES.
ACACIA.
(Acacime Gummi, Gum Arabic.)
This gum is recommended for its mucilaginous uses in cough and
phthisis; in ardor urinie and calculous affections; haemorrhage,
diarrhoea, gastritis, colitis; in burns and scalds, and for sore nipples.
ACALYPHA INDICA.
(Indian Acalypha.)
In the first volume of the Homceopathic Review, Vol. I., page
256, we find it stated by Dr. Tonnerre, of Calcutta, that a tincture
of the Acalypha-indica, administered in the sixth decimal dilution,
is specific in haemorrhage from the lungs.
ADANSONIA       DIGITATA.
(Baobab.)
Dr. Duchassaing, of Guadeloupe, has found the leaves and bark
of this tree useful in fever and ague.
IESCULUS     HIPPOCASTANUM.
(Horse-chesnut.)
COMPARE WITH -Aconitum-napellus, Acidum-nitricum, Aloes, Collinsonia, Ignatia,
Mercurius-vivus, Nux-vomica, Sulphur.
The grated nut seems to constitute the most efficacious preparation of this drug for medicinal purposes. The outer shell has to
be removed. We likewise prepare an alcoholic tincture. We are
inclined to believe that the triturations made after the usual decimal or centesimal scale, contain the therapeutic virtues of this drug
more fully than the attenuations obtained from the alcoholic tincture. We know of provers who were very sensibly and speedily

2EW REMEDIES.


affected by the trituratiois, upon whom as many as four hundred
drops of the mother-tincture had no other effect than the production
of a somewhat sweetish taste in the mouth, a little qualmishness at
the stomach, and some roughness in the throat, with an inconsiderable flow of saliva.
In accordance with the provings that have been instituted with
this drug, and which have been collected by Professor Hale, of
Chicago, in his " New Remedies," this drug has been used principally in old cases of haemorrhoids and other affections of the rectum and anus. In our own practice we have found it to be useful:
1. In catarrhal irritations of the head and throat, characterised
by a dull general headache, and more particularly by a more or
less acute pain in the supra-orbital region; lachrymation, disposition to sneeze, a digging, drawing sensation in one or both nostrils,
slight soreness of the nose, altered metallic taste in the mouth,
roughness of the throat, some irritation in the chest with disposition to cough, chilliness.
2. In dyspepsia, with a burning distress in the epigastric region;
occasional sensation of emptiness or goneness in the pit of the
stomach, with a sense of fulness or heaviness after eating; constipation.
3. In hcemorrhoidal affections. It is not only in chronic, but
likewise in the acute attacks of haemorrhoids that the horse-chesnut has shown remarkable curative powers. Dr. Richard Hughes,
of England, makes the following remarks as to the precise form of
the disease to which it is specific: "When the piles are only
secondary to existing portal or other intra-abdominal congestions,
1Esculus will probably be inferior to Nux and Sulphur. When
they are associated with symptoms of varicosis elsewhere, and
bleed much, Hamamelis will be a better remedy. But when the
only connected symptom or appreciable cause is constipation, and
there is much pain but little bleeding, ~Esculus seems pretty likely
to effect a cure."
Persons afflicted with piles are very often subject to attacks of
aching, burning pains in the small of the back; the small of the
back sometimes feeling rigid and stiff like a board. We have
cured this pain with JEsculus, sometimes using it alone, and, in
other cases, alternating with a few doses of Sulphur or Aconite.
In the twenty-fourth volume of the -British Journal of liomcepathy, page 165, Dr. H-ughes reports the following case of severe
pain in the anus after stool, resembling that of fissure. " Miss W.,
aged 40, consulted me on September 20th of last year. She had
1202




AGAVE AMERICANA.

been suffering for two months with hsmorrhage and pain after
stool. The bowels were moved every other morning; the bleeding was considerable and the pain intense; gradually subsiding
afterwards, but not leaving her until evening.  She felt much
weakened and was beginning to suffer from neuralgic pain in the
face. Regarding the haemorrhage as the most important symptom,
I prescribed Hamamelis 2, a drop three times a day.
"Sept. 30. The bowels had been twice moved without any
bleeding, but the pain was as severe as ever. AEsculus 2, a drop
three times a day.
" Oct. 3. The last evacuation was painless as well as bloodless.
Continued.
"Oct. 21. The patient had her last prescription, and has not
been heard from since."
AGAVE AMERICANA.
(American Aloes.)
COMPARE WITH all the anti-scorbutic vegetable acids and with Allium-sativum.
We have no provings of this medicine worth mentioning. Dr.
Perrin, of the United States Army, while stationed at Fort McIntosh, in Texas, has used it in scurvy with brilliant success. His
cases are reported in the N. Y. Journal of  edicine, 1850. Dr.
Perrin writes: "Eleven cases, all milder in form than the two just
related, were continued upon the lime juice; diet the same. On
the 21st of April, they exhibited evidences of. improvement, but
it was nothing when compared with the cases under the use of the
Mfaguez. (The name given to the Agave by the natives.) Seven
cases were under treatment during the same time, making use of
citric-acid. On the 21st of April no one had improved, and three were
growing worse. At this time so convinced was I of the great superiority of the Maguez over either of the other remedies employed,
that I determined to place all the patients upon that medicine. The
result has proved exceedingly gratifying.  Every case has improved rapidly from that date. The countenance, so universally
dejected and despairing in the patient affected with scurvy, is
brightened up with contentment and hope in two days from the
time of its introduction. The most marked evidences of improvement were observable at every successive visit. From observing
the effects of the Maguez in the cases which have occurred in this
command, I am compelled to place it far above that remedy, which,
1203

till now, has stood above every other, the lime-juice. The manner
in which I used it was as follows: The leaves are cut off close to
the root. They are placed in hot ashes until thoroughly cooked,
when they are removed and the juice expressed. The expressed
juice is then strained, and may be used thus, or may be sweetened.
It may be given in doses of from two ounces to three ounces three
times daily. The use of the leaf in this way, I believe, will ward
off most effectually incipient scorbutus."
AILANTHUS.
COMPARE WITH-Belladonna;
"We have a few provings of this poison, but no reliable clinical
experience. In the March number of the American.Homoeopathic -Review, 1864, Dr. Wells, of Brooklyn, has published an interesting case of poisoning by Ailanthus, the symptoms of which
have led him to suggest the use of this drug as a remedy for -certain forms of malignant scarlatina.
ALETRIS FARINOSA.
(Star-grass.)
COMPARE WITH-Helonias, Hydrastis, Caulophyllum.
We prepare a tincture from the root and likewise triturations.
We have not yet met with a satisfactory opportunity of prescribing this drug. Professor Hale recommends its use in the following language: " In cases of debility, general or local, arising
from protracted illness, loss of fluids, defective nutrition, &c.,
symptomatic indications are: loss of tone in the muscular system
of the whole or any part of the body; loss of appetite, myalgia,
or that painful affection of muscles depending on depression, or
from physical or mental causes; passive haemorrhagia-particularly
uterine; and that condition of the uterus which predisposes to
menorrhagia and abortion. Every practical, physician knows, that
these conditions do not always present symptoms which call for
China, Phosphoric-acid and Ferrum; and that, in many cases,
where these remedies seem indicated, they do not prove as
promptly curative as desired. It is in these classes of cases that I
have found the Aletris so valuable. Such symptoms as constipa1204

tion, indigestion, night-sweats, depression of spirits, always disappeared as soon as the system came under the influence of the medicine."-New Remedies, 2d ed., p. 58.
The Professor recommends this remedy in alternation with Phosphoric-acid, Hypophosphite of Potash and Zinc, in cases in which
debility is apparently caused by a want of the Phosphates; in
literary persons, or individuals whose morale has been broken
down by depressing emotions.
ALNUS GLUTINOSA.
(Alder.)
In the third volume of the homceopathic Times, Dr. Ramford
mentions an anomalous affection of long standing, and sometimes,
but not constantly, presenting an appearance of purpura hemorrhagica; generally there is an excited state of the system. Belladonna failed in curing this disorder. It yielded to the alder.
ALNUS RUBRA.
(Tag-alder.)
We prepare a tincture from the bark, and triturations from the
resinoid Alnuin.
This drug is recommended in impetigo, affections of the urinary
organs, chronic diarrhoea. We have no provings of this drug.
AMMONITE SPIRITUS AROMATICUS.
(Aromatic Spirits of Ammonia.)
This preparation is often used as a palliative in sick-headache,
with acidity of the stomach, faintness.-Also in hysteric paroxysms,
syncope.-It relieves the flatulent colic of children, given in a few
drops in milk.
AMMONIUM PHOSPHORICUM.
This salt has been employed with more or less success in some
cases of chronic bronchitis. We have no reliable record of the
physiological or therapeutical action of this salt.
1205




NEW REMEDIES.


AMYGDALjE DULCES.
(Sweet Almond.)
The oil of sweet almond, combined with a little bitter almond,
relieves the distressing itching in prickly heat.
ANAGALLIS ARVENSIS.
(Scarlet-pimpernel.,
This drug has been recommended for mania and epilepsy. We
have no clinical experience to offer.
ANDROMEDA ARB REA.
(Sorrell-tree.)
The leaves have a pleasant acid taste; a decoction.of these leaves
forms a refrigerant drink in fevers. This beautiful tree grows in
the valleys of the Alleghany mountains.
ANTHEMIS COTULA.
(Wild Chamomile, May-weed.)
This plant is prescribed by European physicians in nervous diseases, hysteria.
APOCYNUM 'CANNABINUM.
(Indian Hemp.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Digitalis, Hellebore, Arsenicum, Hydriodate of Potash.
This drug is used by physicians of every school, but more particularly by eclectic and homaeopathio physicians. We have a few
provings of this drug by Drs. A. Gerald Hull and E. E. Marcy
Its chief sphere of action seems to be dropsical effusions. We
prepare a tincture from the root, having a dark, reddish-brown
color. The fluid extracts prepared by Tilden and others are not
reliable. For the treatment of dropsical effusions a watery effusion of the fiesh root, in the proportion of one ounce of the root
to a pint of water, is the most reliable preparation.
This drug has been used by a number of physicians, including
1206




APOCYNUM CANNABINUM.


ourselves, in the following forms of dropsy, cedema, and other
affections.
1. Hydrocephalus. We have no personal experience of the
successful use of the drug in this disease. Several cases of cure
of this disease are reported in our Journals. One is the case of a
little child of Professor Renwick, Columbia College, New York;
the other is the case of an infant twelve months old, reported by
Dr. Waterman, in Professor Hale's New Remedies. Other physicians have tried the same remedy in this disease without any success whatever.
2. Ascites. Its efficiency in this disease has been verified by a
number of physicians in a variety of cases. In ascites and other
forms of 'dropsy depending upon organic disease of the liver, kidneys, heart, &c., the effect of Apocynum is only palliative; the
disorganization does not seem to be influenced by the action of the
drug. We have tried it in ovarian dropsy without any apparent
result. In ascites depending upon Bright's Disease, the palliative
effects of Cochineal have seemed to us at least equal to those of
Apocynum. A proper dose in this as well as in other forms of
dropsy is a desertspoonful of the above-mentioned infusion every
two or three hours.
In -cases where Apocynum is indicated, the pulse is either slow
and weak, or slightly accelerated and weak. The urine is darkcolored and secreted in small quantity, with, perhaps, frequent
urging. The bowels are generally constipated, though a watery
diarrhcea may likewise be present. Such differences depend a good
deal upon pre-existing constitutional peculiarities.
Some of our physicians report Apocynum indicated in dropsy,
depending upon that peculiar disorganization of the liver known as
nutmeg-liver. If this form of dropsy ever is one of the terminations
of cirrhosis, it is curable, provided the disorganization is still within
the bounds of curative influence. A man of seventy-two years
was suddenly attacked with typhoid symptoms, oedema of the
lower extremities, bloating of the bowels, jaundice; in spite of
treatment he gradually sank and died in three days. A postmortem examination revealed cirrhosis of the liver. A year after,
the eldest son of this patient, about forty-five years old, was attacked with similar symptoms. When we first saw him, the bloat
was inconsiderable, but the jaundice, from the crown of the head to
the soles of the feet, was perfectly fiightful; the man looked as if
he had been daubed all over with a layer of saffron-colored paint.
The pulse in this case was very remarkable: slow, irregular and
1207




8


NEW REMEDIES.


intermittent. Digitalis being the leading remedy, it was prescribed throughout in varying quantities, from five to ten, and
twenty-five drops of the tincture in the course of the day. Small
quantities of Fowler's solution were likewise administered at more
or less remote intervals. The patient made a perfect recovery in
less than three weeks. Reasoning from analogy, we should have
diagnosed this case as one of nutmeg-liver. We will add that
both these patients were strictly temperate and perfectly regular
in all their habits.
It is questionable whether cirrhosis of the liver ever does terminate in ascites. If so, such a termination will, as a general rule,
terminate fatally. In such cases Apocynum may be resorted to as
a palliative, and might be advantageously alternated with Digitalis
and Fowler's solution. But none of your high, higher or highest
potencies under such circumstances.
Last summer, two years after his last illness, the last named patient was attacked in a similar manner as before. The abdomen
was puffed up, but there was not the remotest sign of effusion;
the pulse was much less irregular and intermittent, nor was the
jaundice as intensely developed. The same treatment restored
him to perfect health in the space of a little over a fortnight.
3. Hlydcrothorax. In cardiac hydrothorax Apocynum has racted
as an excellent palliative, in lessening the volume of water in the
chest and consequently relieving the suffocative dyspnoea which
torments such patients.  In idiopathic hydrothorax, as may be
consequent upon rheumatic exposure, Apocynum will likewise
prove of great benefit, sometimes alone, and in other cases either
alternately with, or preceded by Aconite or Digitalis, as the case
may be.
4. Hydcropericardia. Quite recently we treated a case of this
disease in a family where the children had had an attack of the
measles. The parents had allowed the measles to run their course,
without sending for a physician. Tvwo of the children, aged respectively three and five years, had remained drooping for a week
'after the measles had disappeared, when a sudden bad turn in the
condition of the children alarmed the parents, and we were sent
for. An examination revealed the following condition of things:
Pulse feeble and hurried; skin dry, immoderately warm; face
puffed, pale; lips bloated, livid; breathing hurried and very anxious; occasional moaning; the children seemed uncomfortable when
lying on their backs; the beats of the heart very indistinct, they
seemed to be heard at a distance, as if through some intervening

body. The parents were informed that water had begun to collect
in the pericardial sac. Apocynum, five or six drops, in a few
tablespoonfuls of water, a desertspoonful of which mixture was
given every hour, seemed to have a very good effect the first day.
It was then deemed advisable to alternate it with Digitalis. In
the course of the treatment, which lasted about a week in all, a
few doses of Arsenicum 3, were likewise administered. As was
stated, both children recovered perfectly in about eight days.
5. In post-scarlatinal cdropsy, Apocynum  has likewise proved
very serviceable. It is needless to quote testimony bearing upon
this point. Because Apocynum affords good service against this
sometimes dangerous and distressing sequela of scarlatina, we need
not, on that account, discard such tried friends as Hellebore,
Arsenic and Digitalis.
6. In general dcropsy or anasarca, Apocynum   has proved a
powerful adjuvant in the treatment of this formidable disorder. A
very fine illustration of the curative virtues of this drug in general
dropsy may be found in Professor Hale's New Remedies, where
Dr. C. C. Smith, of Stamford, Conn., reports the following case:
"I treated a case of general dropsy with this drug, with the
following symptoms: Intense thirst, almost constant frontal headache, severe and constant pain in the region of the kidneys, dry
and harsh feeling of the skin. Abdomen very much bloated, and
the presence of water very easily detected on percussion. Bloatedness of the face, principally after lying down, passing off after
sitting up. Handsvery much increased in size so that they could not
be shut; lower limbs enormously swollen, as were also the testicles,
the latter being frightful to behold, and exceeding any thing of the
kind Ihad ever seen. The testicles being swollen so badly the patient
could neither stand, sit nor lie with any comfort. Urine discharged
pretty regularly, but very scanty and red. Appetite good. Patient about seventy years old. Dropsy produced by suppression
of perspiration after a hard day's work in cold weather.
"l He had been treated allopathically, but both his physicians
deserted the case. I dissolved about five grains of Apocynum in
a tumbler of water, and allowed the patient to take a full tablespoonful every two hours, lengthening the time to three and then to
four hours, as the case continued to progress favorably. In a few
days a change for the better set in, and the improvement continued
steadily up to a perfect cure, which was accomplished in about a
month."
7. We have seen Apocynum act very beneficially in the case of
51*                                        1209

NEW REMEDIES.


females going through the critical period of life, more particularly
when the following symptoms constituted the most marked features
of the case: Frequent losses of blood, resulting in oedema of the
extremities and face; anaemic condition of the patient; fluttering
about the heart; vertigo, headache, either a general dull headache,
or more particularly in the frontal region. In this particular Apocynum competes with Caulophyllum.
ARALIA RACEMOSA.
(Spikenard.)
We use tincture of the fresh root.
This medicine is recommended for dysmenorrhoea, suppression
of the lochia, amenorrhoea, induced by exposure to a draught of
air, getting the feet chilled or wet. A warm infusion of the root
may be administered.
ARCTIUM LAPPA.
(Burdock.)
This drug has long been employed in dropsy. The seeds are used.
ARISTOLOCHIA        SERPENTARIA.
(Virginia Snake-root.)
A good proving of this drug may be found in Hempel's Materia
Medica. A warm infusion of the root has been used in the obstinate
sick headaches of debilitated females. It is employed as a gentle
stimulant in low typhoid fevers, or to promote the appearance of
an exanthem like measles, scarlatina, &c.
ARUM TRYPHILLUM.
(Indian Turnip.)
COMPARE WITH-Arum-maculatum, with whose effects those of Arum-tryphillum, according to Hale, are almost identical.
We make triturations of the grated root; the root has to be
used fresh; the dried root loses its volatile principle, but retains
some of its medicinal properties.
In the 16th volume of the British Journal of HTom-opathy,
12o




ASCLEPIAS SYRIACA.


11


page 321, the following case of poisoning by Arum-maculatnm is
recorded: " After chewing a young leaf-stalk for a few minutes, a
very intense prickling, stinging pain was felt upon the tongue and
mucous membrane of the lips and throat, accompanied with a flow
of saliva, which seemed to relieve the pain a little; the pains were
as if a hundred needles had been run into the tongue and lips. A
friend, who followed my example, had, in addition to these symptoms, constriction and burning in the larynx, his tongue was
swollen, and its papille injected and raised. The mucous membrane
of the throat and lips were inflamed. The pains in the tongue
and lips were increased by pressure with the teeth. In two or
three cases the leaves have been eaten by children, and have produced distressing effects. In one instance three children partook
of them. Their tongues became swollen, so as to render swallowing difficult, and convulsions followed; one died in twelve, and
another in sixteen days; the third recovered."
In accordance with these symptoms, Arum is recommended for
inflammatory swelling of the tongue, stomatitis, salivation, either
mercurial or idiopathic, &c. The dried root has been used in the
cough of old people, and the loose cough of children.
ASCLEPIAS SYRIACA.
(Milk-weed.)
We prepare a tincture of the fresh root, and triturations of the
dried root.
In accordance with Professor Hale's suggestions we have used
this drug with good effect in rheumatic-bilious conditions of the
system, brought on by checked perspiration, exposure to draughts
of air, getting the feet wet, exchanging heavy for light clothing,
&c. A group of symptoms like the following has guided us in
selecting this agent: Slight creeping chills, no marked alteration
of the pulse, soreness of- the flesh, pains in the limbs, slight nausea,
sharp pains through the forehead, dizziness.
DOSE.-Eight to ten drops in half a cupful of warm, sweetened
water, the whole of it to be swallowed at one dose an hour or two
before bed-time, or in tablespponfull doses every hour.
This drug has likewise been recommended and used with good
effect in renal and post-scarlatinal dropsy.
Some of its analogues are Boneset, Bryonia, Arsenic, and Dulcamara.
1211

NEW REMEDIES.


ASCLEPIAS      TUBEROSA,
(Pleurisy-root,)
Is used by our country people as a domestic remedy for colds
on the chest; cough, with soreness and stitches in the chest, tightness of breathing and similar rheumatic irritations of the thoracic
organs. We have two provings of this drug, one by Dr. Thomas
Nichol, of Belleville, Canada, and the other by Dr. P. H. Hale, of
Hudson, Michigan, the latter selecting the oleo-resin for his proving. Another proving by Dr. A. Savery, Member of the Gallican
Society, is utterly worthless.
Nichol's proving seems to confirm the specific action of pleurisyroot upon the respiratory organs, more particularly upon the
pleura; and seems to justify the use of this drug in rheumatic
affections of the pleura, in accordance with the requirements of
specific homoeopathy.
From Dr. IHale's proving we infer that the drug causes rheumatic irritations in the respiratory mucous membrane, and in the
mucous expanse lining the stomach and intestines. The chestaffection is characterised by oppression on the chest, tightness of
breathing, acute pain under the right clavicle or in the right lung,
when drawing a long breath; accessory symptoms being: slight
creeping chills, flushed cheeks, weakness and tremulousness of the
lower limbs, soreness of abdominal integuments and epigastric region, heavy and dull pain in the small of the back, pulse rising at
night to 90, with great thirst, although the tongue was moist;
diminished secretion of urine, which was, moreover, thick and
high-colored.
ASTERIAS RUBENS.
(Star-fish.)
is recommended by Petroz for cancer of the left mamma.
ATROPINE.
(Sulphate of Atropine.)
The action of this salt differs from that of Belladonna only in

AURANTIA AMARA.
(Essential Oil of Bitter Orange.)
Dr. Imbart Gourbeyer, of France, published some twelve or
thirteen years ago an essay on the physiological action of the oil of
bitter almonds, giving an interesting account of the morbid phenomena which the emanations from the bitter oranges cause in the
women employed to peel them for the manufacturers of the oil.
We give the following resume of the symptoms:
Headache, partial or general, sometimes in the forehead, and
sometimes a general ache.
Hemicrania, generally on the right side, often accompanied by
nausea and even vomiting.
Vertigo as if intoxicated.
Facial neuralgia, most frequently on the right side, with lancinating or gnawing pains.
Toothache, with caries of the teeth.
Weakness of sight, ringing and buzzing in the ears; in one case
swelling and redness of the lobes.
Suffocative oppression on the chest.
Frequent and uncontrollable yawning; uneasiness and weight in
the stomach; pyrosis.
Uneasy sleep, with starting.
Epileptiform convulsicns; drawings in one side of the face and in
the legs; cramps, general or partial; contraction and a sensation

of weight in the shoulders; cramplike pain in the wrists; intense
muscular excitement; the patients work with desperate rapidity;
general trembling, jerkings; the whole muscular system seems to
be in a state of agitation.
Eruptions; itching all over or only on the upper limbs; swelling
and redness of the hands; red patches on various parts of the body;
vesicular eruptions all over the arm, chiefly on the hands and betwixt the fingers; erysipelatous swelling of the face.
These symptoms plainly show that the aroma of the bitter
oranges is possessed of a remarkable faculty of deranging the nervous equilibrium and poisoning to some extent the blood.

This Russian fresh-water sponge is recommended in some forms

BALSAMUM PERUVIANUM.

Dr. Bosch has used this agent as a remedy for the itch. He used
the black balsam of Peru both internally and externally; gave two
drops of the first dilution night and morning, and, at the same
time, caused all the parts affected with the itch to be rubbed with
this balsam. A cure was effected in eight to fifteen days. Pereira
says that "this balsam, alone or in the form of ointment, is sometimes applied to indolent, ill-conditioned ulcers; it cleanses them,
promotes healthy granulation, and assists cicatrization. I have
used it in some obstinate ulcerations about the nose. Dr. Ainslie
speaks very highly of its powers of arresting the progress of
sphacelous and phagedeenic affections so. common and destructive
in India. He recommends lint soaked in the balsam, to be applied
night and morning."

thic physicians for its specific. virtues as a remedy for fevers, of a
low, typhoid type. The provings instituted by Drs. Burt, Douglas
and others, have established the fact, that this agent is possessed
of a remarkable power of deteriorating the animal fluids, and hence
must be capable, in accordance with.the homoeopathic law of cure,
of exercising a certain influence over pathological conditions characterised by symptoms of decomposition of the vital fluids and
the organic tissues.
In his Manual of Pharmaco-dynamics, Dr.- Richard Hughes, of
England, expresses himself as follows, with reference to the curative sphere of the Wild Indigo:
" In a former number of the British Journal of Homoeopathy,
(that for July, 1863,) I have endeavored to indicate the special
form of fever to which the pathology of Baptisia, aided by clinical
experience, points as its sphere of influence. It is the first stage
of the ordinary endemic fever of this country, known popularly as
gastric, and medically as typhoid enteric fever. In the first stage
of this disease the patient has a hot dry skin and a quick full pulse;
the tongue is thickly covered with a whitish-brown fur; the head
aches, and there is at least nocturnal delirium; the appetite is absent and thirst great,; the urine is high-colored, and the bowels
generally constipated. Unless the disease is checked in this stage,
the true typhoid symptoms supervene, which I need not here
describe.
" Now there is nothing improbable in the supposition that, if we
could find a remedy perfectly homeopathic to the first stage of
this malady, we might cure it there and then before the typhoid
symptoms supervened. None of our ordinary remedies seem applicable. Aconite is powerless against such fevers; it never reduces the pulse one beat, or relieves the skin by a drop of moisture.
Arsenic is suitable only to the later stage of the disorder. Bryonia
is. the remedy generally administered; but, better than nothing
it is difficult to see any thing curative in its action. On the other
hand, the pathogenesis of Baptisia, brief as it is, exhibits it as properly homceopathic to the condition I have described. And the
result of my own experience in its use has been, that in the great
majority of cases it cuts short the fever in this its first stage, freeing the patient from all the dangers of the second. I have never
yet been disappointed in it; and its curative action is often exceedingly rapid."
"Our literature is replete with reports of cases of typhoid fever
that have been cured with Baptisia. Eclectics depend upon it as one

of their chief agents in combating the low fevers of a continued
typhoid type which so frequently prevail as epidemics in many districts of our country. It is well known to our readers that Dr.
Hoyt was the first who brought this remedy to the notice of our
profession as a remedy for typhoid fever. In the sixth volume of
the NORTH AMERICAN JOURNrAL OF HOMrEOPATHY, he reports several
highly interesting cases of typhoid fever, all of which rapidly
yielded to Baptisia, after other homceopathic remedies had been
tried in vain. One of the patients, a lady, after having been under
allopathic treatment for thirty-one days, and evidently near death,
was given small quantities of a decoction of Baptisia, prepared by
steeping a piece of the root about three inches long and threeeighths of an inch thick, in half a pint of water. The dose was
gradually increased from five drops to nearly a teaspoonful. The
report reads as follows: " In about one hour and a half, the surface
of the patient presented an appearance as though she had been
literally scalded, so red was the skin, accompanied with a most
intense superficial heat; at the same time noticing large drops of
sweat standing on her forehead, the medicine was discontinued
In a few minutes a profuse perspiration appeared all over her body,
which continued for. nearly twelve hours, or till she was bathed
freely with brandy and water. From this time she began to improve, and with the occasional administration of a dose or two of
the remedy, got well, without any febrile symptoms. It is worthy
of remark, that immediately upon the administration of the remedy
she became quiet and fell asleep; she had been restless and delirious for three weeks previous."
A profuse perspiration very commonly characterises the favorable reaction superinduced by this agent in continued fever.
The symptoms which commonly yield to Baptisia are: sopor,
delirium, dry skin, flushed face, pulse accelerated and thin or filiform, tongue thickly furred, urine scanty and high-colored; constipation or diarrhea, the discharges being of a papescent nature
and having a foul smell; sometimes the stools are passed involuntarily; great prostration, trembling of the hands. Dr. J. B. Bell,
of Augusta, Maine, mentions a characteristic symptom indicating
Baptisia in typhoid fever: "She cannot go to sleep because she
cannot get herself together. Her head feels as though scattered
about, and she tosses about the bed to get the pieces together."
_Baptisia is not only indicated in low continued fevers, but likewise in other conditions of the system, characterised by signs of
decomposition of the fluids. We have employed it with excellent

mercurial sore mouth, aphthous stomatitis, &c.; the breath in these
affections has a foul odor, the teeth are bleeding and loose, the inside of the cheeks, the roof of the mouth, the edges of the tongue,
are studded with diphtheritic ulcerations.
Our provings lead us to expect good effects from Baptisia in
bilious diarrhoea and dysentery. Some of our physicians report
cures of dysentery where the discharges were preceded by severe
tormina and accompanied by tenesmus.
BAROSMA CRENATA.
(Buchu.)
In Dr. Reil's article on Renal Remedies in the second volume ot
"Homceopathische Vierteljahrs-Schrift," page 434, we find this
article alluded to in the following manner: "Buchu has been
frequently used, more especially in affections of the urinary and
genital organs, in rheumatism, gout and dropsy. Bardili who instituted experiments on man with this plant, found that besides a
general increase of vascular action, the urine was discharged in
greater quantity, had an aromatic odor, appeared flocky, and deposited a purulent sediment."
Pereira contains the following notice of this drug: "In this
country Buchu has been principally employed in chronic maladies,
of the urino-genital organs. Dr. Reese first drew the attention of
practitioners and the public in this country to it in these cases;
and, in 1823, Dr. M'Dowell gave a most favorable account of its
good effects. It has since been employed by a considerable number
of practitioners, and its remedial powers fairly tried. It seems to
be principally adapted to chronic cases attended with copious
secretion. In chronic inflammation of the mucous membrane of the
bladder, attended with a copious discharge of mucus, it frequently
checks the secretion, and diminishes the irritable condition of the
bladder; but I have several times seen it fail to give the least relief,
and, in some cases, it appeared rather to add to the patient's sufferings. In irritable conditions of the urethra, as spasmodic stricture,
and in gleet, it has occasionally proved serviceable. In lithiasis,
attended with increased secretion of uric acid, it has been given
with considerable benefit by Dr. Carler and others, and has appeared
to check the formation of this acid. For the most part it should be
given in these cases in combination with alkalies (as liquor-potassue)

CACTUS     GRANDIFLORUS.
(Night-blooming Cereus.)
This drug has been introduced in homoeopathic practice by Dr.
Rubini, of Naples, Italy. We are sorry to say that, in spite of
the high-sounding flourishes with which this new claimant to public favor has been announced, we are compelled to say that we
have very little, if any, confidence in Dr. Rubini's provings. These
provings are of a piece with those of Mure, Petroz, Lippe and
their compeers, vox et prceterea nihil.
According to Dr. Rubini, " Cactus has a specific action on the
heart and its bloodvessels, dissipating their congestions and suppressing their irritations without weakening the nervous system
like Aconite. Hence it is preferable to the latter in all cases of
inflammation, particularly in all cases of lymphatic and nervous
temperaments."
What can we think of the provings and therapeutic statements
of a writer who is so little acquainted with, and seems to have so
little experience of the great virtues of Aconite as to declare that
Aconite weakens the nervous system in inflammations which yield
to its curative influence as their specific remedial agent. It is useless to waste an argument on such fallacies. And what shall we
say of the extravagant cures which Cactus is said to have effected!
Chronic bronchitis of many years' standing, with rattling of mucus

CACTUS GRANDIFLORUS.

A  number of pleurisies which are cured in from too to four
days. Hepatatition of the lungs resolved in a few days. Very
severe peri-pneumonia cured in four clays. Violent pneumorrhagia checked in a few hours. Pneumorrhagia every four, six,
seven or eight hours, accompanied each time with convulsive cough,
and expectoration of two or three pounds of blood, is at once relieved and ceases entirely in four days. Acute carditis, with
slight cyanosis of the face, oppression of breathing, dry cough,
pricking pain at the heart, impossibility of lying.on the left side;
pulse quick, throbbing, tense and hard-cured in four days!
Chronic carditis, with cedematous and cyanotic face, suffocating
respiration, continued dull pain at the heart, hydro-pericardia,
hydrothorax, ascites, oedema of the hands, legs and feet, impossibility of lying in bed, of speaking, or even of drinking, hands and
feet cold, pulse intermitting-cured in fifteen days!  Rheumatic
carditis, with much dry and convulsive cough, cured in four days!
Without meaning any offence to the reporter of these miraculous
cures, we are free to confess that we do 'not place the remotest
confidence in the correctness of these statements. They seem to
us to involve some unaccountable error in diagnosis. If there was
peri-pneumonia, carditis and the like, they must have been totally
different from what such diseases are in our climate. May not the
Doctor have had hold of some luckless wight of a consumptive
invalid, or two or three, upon whom he instituted his clinical observations; construing the symptoms at one time into chronic
bronchitis, at another into peri-pneumonia, another into carditis,
and so forth? Heart-disease has more than once been diagnosed
in consumptive patients where not a trace of it was found after
death. And what are not enthusiastic physicians prepared to
assert when carried away by the worship of an idea?
The cases reported by other physicians and said to have been
cured with Cactus, are not sufficiently decisive to establish the
character of Cactus as a remedy for heart-affections in the same
sense as we know Aconite, Digitalis, Arsenicum or Spigelia to be
such remedies. Dr. Russell's case is still under advisement. The
case reported in the second volume, p. 159, of the Western Homceopathic Observer, by E. P. D., may seem satisfactory at a first reading; but all that the Cactus did in this case was to relieve the
fluttering in the stomach; this fluttering in the stomach has been
relieved time and again by ourselves and other physicians by means
of a few moderate doses of Aconite.
Dr. Duhring likewise reports a few cases. His first case, that of

NEW REMEDIES.


Mrs. C. M., is evidently a case of acute nervous irritation, where
the attacks came on every night for seven nights in succession, until
they finally ceased, not, as we believe, in consequence of the treatment that was pursued, but in consequence of the disease having run
its course and reached its natural termination. The attacks left the
patient debilitated, and the affected parts remained numb. The
true remedy in this case was the Aconitum-napellus, of which we
should have administered the first decimal attenuation of the tincture of the root, in the full expectation of not only seeing the patient relieved, but permanently cured after the first attack, without
leaving her weak and numb, as was the case with this lady.
Dr. O'Brien's case, in the Monthly Hoomceopathic -Review, May,
1866, is a good case, well told, and doing reasonable justice to the
new drug, without disparaging the well-earned reputation of
Aconite, Digitalis and kindred agents.
The sensation as if the heart was grasped with the hand which
arrests the motion of that organ, is one of the most marked effects
of large doses of Digitalis upon the heart. Any one who will take
the trouble of reading the chapter on Digitalis in Ifempel's JMfateria
Mledica and Therapeutics, can satisfy his mind in regard to this
fact. This symptom does not call for Cactus, but Digitalis. We
refer the reader to Professor Purkinge's beautiful experiments with
Digitalis, reported on page 476 of the first volume of Hempel's
above-mentioned work.

Dr. Richter, from  California, has introduced this drug as a

natives.
CANNABIS INDICA.
(Haschisch.)
Berthault divides the physiological effects of Haschisch into
three periods:
" The first is a period of excitement; it is characterized by the
predominance of the physical over the intellectual excitement.
Symptoms: at first, flushes of heat towards the head; constriction
of the temples, ringing in the ears, bursts of laughter, diminution of
all the secretions, principally of the salivary; feeling of happiness,
of self-satisfaction, closure of the eye-lids; speech and movement
are easy; general excitability, errors as to time and place, tendency
to materialize and exaggerate all ideas, all sensations; pulse fiequent, rising sometimes to one hundred and upwards. We have
had it rise on one occasion to one hundred and eighty-four and
one hundred and eighty-eight.
"Th6 second period is characterised by a diminution of the
physical excitement; a desire is felt to lie down and be at rest;
physical repose is sought while the intellectual excitement still exists; it is then especially that there exists a confusion of ideas;
the patient closes his eyes; all kinds of hallucinations assail him,
he experiences fixed ideas and delirious convictions; the pulse is
almost normal.
" Finally, the third period is one of reaction. To this physical
and intellectual excitement succeeds an urgent desire for repose.
The desire to sleep becomes irresistible; and, indeed, a few hours
sleep will suffice to dissipate all unpleasant symptoms."-See N. A.
Journal, Vol. IV., page. 121.

page 453. This drug was popularly used for a stitch in the side.
Its re-introduction into use as a remedial agent is due to Rade
macher, who ranged it among his "Abdominal Remedies."     This
drug seems to enjoy a specific curative influence in certain chronic
affections of the liver. Kissel, one of Rademacher's disciples, describes the hepatic affection which yields to our lady's thistle, in
the following terms: "1Its form," says he, in his Zeitschrift flir
Erfahrung, Vol. III., page 88, "was partly acute febrile, and
partly chronic, and accompanied by fever; it presented a great
variety of forms, the more constant of which, however, may be
said to have been fever, stitch in the side, cough, frontal headache,
debility and want of appetite; symptoms, nevertheless, not sufficient to diagnose the remedy. The fever and pains were exceedingly various, the stitches sometimes in one side, sometimes in the
other, then under the false ribs, and again wandering about the
abdomen; strangury was frequently present; cough, mostly dry,
short, with scanty expectoration, seldom streaked with blood; debility always very great; inspiration constantly very painful, but
percussion and auscultation showing nothing abnormal. The right
hypochondrium was soft, but sometimes very painful under pressure, in the region of the gall-bladder; anorexia, moderate thirst;
small, sometimes accelerated pulse; stool brown and consistent;
urine mostly orange-yellow, frequently deep-yellow, or reddish-yellow; generally clear, always acid. In simple cases the remedy
employed was a tincture of Carduus Marime, in doses of a drachm
to a drachm and a half a day; in complicated cases, tinctura ferri
acetici was simultaneously used.
In the fifth volume of Kissel's work, page 12, Brennschedt, describes an epidemic of grippe where Carduus proved the specific
remedy. -Digestive organs: Tongue moist, almost always coated,
whitish-yellow in the middle, red at the tip and edges; appetite
wanting or diminished, taste sticky, bitter; frequent nausea; vomiting exceptional; the bowels were sometimes constipated, no
diarrhcea, the faeces looked natural; hepatic region for the most
part sensitive, especially in the neighborhood of the epigastric
regioni percussion showed nothing unnatural; urine brownish,
dark-yellow, reddish.  Chest: catarrh of the nasal mucous membrane, and cough, with stitches in the side, but no hemoptysis.
Mucous rales; hurried and superficial respiration. Nervous system: very troublesome headache in the frontal and temporal regions
was always present, and even in slight attacks of the epidemic;
they complained of dizziness and want of clearness of thought;

sad and depressed expression of the countenance. General: Feverish reaction; increased temperature of the skin, terminating in
sweat. The dose was from 15 to 20 drops of the tincture; in
inveterate cases, a drachm five times a day.
In 1850, a disorder resembling influenza, raged in Halle, as a
precursor of cholera. The digestive apparatus was predominantly
affected. Dr. Reil and some of his colleagues found the Carduus
the most rapidly curative remedy. The symptoms were exceedingly
diversified, but might all be reduced, in most of the cases, to disturbance of the hepatic functions.  This was evidenced by the
peculiar brown, gray, dirty complexion of the -patient, sometimes
passing into a true icteric tint, the sensitiveness of the left hepatic
lobes to pressure, the blright, pale-yellow, seldom dark-green stool,
and the dark-brown urine. This was accompanied by catarrhal
irritation of the respiratory passages in varyiung intensity, generally
with considerable expectoration, without blood, but with great
feeling of oppression over the whole chest, stitches in the side and
great debility; even in the slightest cases these latter symptoms
were never wanting, and the patients complained of difficulty in
speaking. Fever was present, with evening-exacerbations, violent
ache in the forehead, and dullness of the head.
"When this disorder attacked old, asthmatic, hoemorrhoidal or
tuberculous subjects, their chronic ailments were greatly exaggerated, and the Carduus alone restored them to their former condition.
Rademacher was very fortunate in his treatment of concomitant
affections, dependent upon disorders of the liver and spleen, of
various sorts, with Carduus.Marice. He enumerates among them
hfemoptysis, uterine hmmorrhagia, epistaxis, jaundice, sciatica,
chronic cough, hmmatemesis, hepatic affections consequent upon
dysentery.
Rademacher prepares his tincture by putting five pounds of the
unbruised seeds in a convenient vessel, and pouring on them the
most highly rectified alcohol and water, five pounds of each, digesting and frequently agitating for a week, pressing and filtering.
Bademacher cautions against administering the seeds in emulsion,
as the virtue lies in the hull, not in the kernel. It acts well in
powder, a small spoonful of which may be administered four or
five times a day; but should the apothecary, in his anxiety to prepare a fine powder, leave the chaff upon the sieve, the result will
"be null. An effective powder is not too fine, as the hulls are hard.
and difficult to pulverize.

Reil sums up the curative sphere of Carduus in the following
short paragraph:
" It seems to act especially upon the liver; and, next to that,
upon the haemostotic processes effected in the portal system; also
upon the thoracic and intestinal mucous membrane; it seems to
act curatively in chronic as well as acute catarrhs of those tissues
in old hepatic and splenic affections, and disorders of the female
genital system."

We prepare a dark-brown tincture of the root. We likewise
prepare triturations of the pulverised root, and use the resinoid
Caulophyllum and triturations of the same.
Although this drug had been extensively used by botanic and
eclectic physicians, yet it remained unnoticed at the hands of
homceopathic physicians until Professor Hale directed their attention to its admirable curative virtues in the first edition of his
N2ew Remedies.
This drug has been recommended for rheumatism, more particularly of the smaller joints, and seems to be distinguished by its
specific influence upon the uterine functions. Some of our best
physicians testify to its virtues as an anti-rheumatic agent. Dr.
Burt's provings show that Caulophyllum is specifically homceopathic
to sub-acute rheumatism of the carpal, metacarpal and phalangeal,
as well as of the tarsal, metatarsal and toe-joints. Dr. Ludlam
thinks that in the cases of rheumatism which he has treated with
this drug, it has seemed more effectual in the case of female than
in the case of male patients. Dr. Hughes suggests, in his Manual
of Pharmacodynamics, that " Caulophyllum     will probably rank
with Pulsatilla and Sabina, as a remedy for that peculiar form of
chronic-heumatism described by Dr. Fuller as secondary to uterine
disorder."
Professor Hale regards this drug as primarily homceopathic to
dysmenorrhoea, uterine cramps, congestion, spurious labor-pains,
abortion, premature labor, after-pains, when these diseases are
caused by exaltation of natural function or hyper-stimulation.
Pathological conditions of this kind are distinguished by the char1224




CAULOPHYLLUM THALICTROIDES.


25


acter of spasm, and as a general rule, comparatively small quantities of the drug, such as a few drops of the tincture, or even ot
the first or second decimal attenuation, are adequate to their removal. Secondarily, Caulophyllum is homceopathic to uterine conditions resulting from exhaustion or atony of the uterine fibre, such
as menorrhagia, metrorrhagia. When prescribed for conditions of
this kind, larger quantities of the drug may be required.
In clysmenorrhcea, with horrid spasms, icy coldness of the extremities, nausea and vomiting, excessive tenderness of the abdomen, we have prescribed Caulophyllum sometimes, with instantaneous relief. We have likewise administered it as a prophylactic,
and have frequently succeeded in regulating the catamenial periods
to the perfect satisfaction of the patient.
A similar result has been obtained when the catamenial discharge
was too profuse and too frequent.
We have likewise found it very useful in moderating after-pains
when they caused the patient to moan or lasted too long; and we
have found Caulophyllum an excellent means of changing the spasmodic character df labor-pains to normal pains, recurring at proper
intervals, and gradually increasing to regular expulsive pains.
As a preventive of miscarriage we have never yet used Caulophyllum alone, but either in alternation with Aconite or Secalecornutum.
After miscarriage the nervous system of the patient sometimes
remains considerably shattered. Under these circumstances Caulophyllum, or its resinoid, Caulophyllin, may prove an excellent
means of restoring it to its normal condition. In Hale's work on
Abortion, we find a case reported by Dr. Ludlam, where, among
other ailments, the patient was suffering with an incurable insomnia. This was speedily cured by means of a few doses of Caulophyllin 2.
In metrorrhagia we have used it with partial benefit. From
what we have seen of the effects of Caulophyllum in an accident
of this kind, we are prepared to affirm that it is endowed with remarkable remedial powers in this direction, but we are not by any
means of the opinion expressed by some enthusiastic admirers of
every thing new, that Caulophyllum  supercedes Secale by its
superior power to induce uterine contractions. In a case of desperate flooding, which occurred suddenly about three hours after
delivery, and where the uterus had contracted perfectly, Caulophyllum  seeied utterly powerless to stop the flow of blood,
although it was administered in proportionably small as well as

what might very properly be called heroic doses. Secale likewise
seemed to have very little effect. Trillium and other remedies
were likewise powerless. Nothing saved the patient's life but
dashing snow against the abdomen, plugging the vagina with
pounded ice, grasping the womb with the hand, applying stimulants to the nose, and supporting the patient with small quantities
of broth, port-wine, &c. It was the most desperate case of flooding it has ever been our lot to witness. This patient, a young
primipara, passed through a slow course of adynamic fever, with
metro-peritoneal inflammation, a sort of puerperal typhus, but
made a perfect recovery under the almost exclusive use of Digitalis and.Belladonna and suitable hygienic means.
How far CauloLphyllum may be relied upon as a means of arresting the uterine hemorrhages which often occur during the critical
period in a woman's life, we have no positive means of affirming.
We have tried it faithfully in some very severe cases, and, we believe, have seen good effects from it; but we have not been able,
in a single case, to get along without the additional use of such
drugs as Secale, Cinnamon-water, with Sulphuric-acid, Aconite,
Arsenic, and others.
During the session of the Western Institute of Homceopathy,
held in Chicago, May, 1864, Dr. Burbank, of Illinois, related a
case of paraplegia which he cured with Caulophyllum. The patient was a middle-aged lady. On the ninth day after her confinement she was attacked with what her allopathic physician designated as metritis. Under the usual old-school treatment this affection subsided, but left her almost completely paraplegic. There
was almost complete loss of sensation, and the power of motion
was almost entirely lost. She was unable to move her limbs in
bed, or to stand upon them. The patient was emaciated, anemic,
and very much debilitated. When the Doctor first saw the case,
two years after the patient was first taken sick, she was getting
steadily worse. Nux, Cocculus, the Citrate of Iron, Strychnine,
had no effect. An examination showed retroversion, congestion
and enlargement of the uterus. Caulophyllin 2, was administered,
and its use persisted in for six months, until the patient was

is recommended by Dr. Hering, of Philadelphia, for coryza, cold in
the head, with discharge of water from the eyes, discharge of burning water from the nose, cough starting from the larynx which the
patient grasps with his hand. It is likewise recommended for other
affections, such as catarrhal toothache, with throbbing, drawing,
pressing pains. I am not acquainted with any reliable clinical records of this drug.
CHELONE GLABRA.
(Balmony.)
We have no provings of this drug. Professor Hale recommends
it in debility, jaundice and helminthiasis. If we use this agent, we
have to do so empirically or in accordance with such suggestions as
are offered by writers of the eclectic school.
CHIMAPHILA UMBELLATA.
(Pipsissewa.)
This evergreen ranks with Buchu, Pareira-brava, Uva ursi, &c.
as a remedy for urinary affections. It has been used in calculous
and dropsical affections, more particularly in ascites. According to
eclectic writers it is more particularly in atonic dropsy, accompanied
with debility that this drug is particularly indicated.
According to Doctor P. H. Hale of Hudson, Michigan, the Chimaphila induces atrophy of the breasts. He applied it to tumors in
the breasts which vanished under its influence together with the
breast. In a \case of scirrhous tumor he prescribed the drug in 40
drop-doses ofi the tincture three times a day for three months, at
the end of wlich period the tumor had disappeared together with
two-thirds of each breast.

CHLORINE.
(Chlorine-water.)
The vapors from this water have been recommended for laryngis.
mus stridulus and other spasmodic affections of the air-passages
We have never yet made use of this remedy, having been abun
dantly able to get along without it.
CIMICIFUGA RACEMOSA.
(Black Cohosh.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconitum-napellus, Caulophyllum, Secale-cornutum, Agaricus
muscarius.
This plant is the Actoea-racemosa of Linnaeus; it is also described
under the name of Macrotys-racemosa by older writers.
We prepare a tincture of the root, and likewise triturations of
the dried root. From the root we obtain a resinoid Cimicifugin,
of which we likewise prepare triturations.
Drs. Marcy, H. M. Paine, and others, have furnished provings
of this drug. It has been used by physicians of every school with
great success, in a variety of affections, and constitutes an important addition to our Materia Medica.
In rheumatism it has been used with good effect, especially in
rheumatism  of the muscular tissue. If the rheumatism is acute,
accompanied by inflammatory fever, we are in the habit of either
giving Aconite first, following it up with Cimicifuga; or else we
give both remedies in alternation. There are certain muscles'upon
whicti Aconite has a predominantly specific influence; one of these
is the deltoid muscle. In rheumatism of the deltoid muscle, with
or without fever, no medicine can compete with Aconite. In
rheumatism of the dorsum of the foot, Pulsatilla is the sovereign
remedy.
In rheumatic headache, with throbbing in the temples and forehead, soreness of the scalp, dull heavy pain in the forehead, Cimicifuga is said to have good effect. We have no experience of our
own to offer in this respect.
In pleurodynia, where Aconite, Arnica, Bryonia and the like,
were all that we had to depend upon, and where we were so frequently left in the lurch by these agents, we have in Cimicifuga a
much more reliable friend than in any of the above-mentioned
drugs.
1228




CIMICIFTGA BACEMOSA.


29


In rheumatic lumbago and spinal irritation, Cimicifuga competes with, although it does not supersede Aconite. We prescribe
it both internally and externally.
Our provings show very satisfactorily that this drug is possessed
of a powerful and specific influence over the nervous system, not
only the cerebro-spinal, but likewise the ganglionic nerves. Hence
we find that it has fine curative effects in a variety of nervous
disorders.
In chorea we have found Cimicifuga useful, if the disease originated in rheumatic irritation, or seemed to be traceable to some
abnormal condition of the female sexual organs.
In vol. III. of the Proceedings of the New- York Hom. Mfecd.
Society, page 360, Dr. Searle, of Troy, furnishes an interesting
article on the successful employment of this drug in cerebro-spinal
meningitis.
In delirium tremens we may expect excellent effects from our
drug. Its action upon the brain has produced a group of symptoms simulating delirium tremens to perfection. In this disease
Opium has to be given in such large quantities, that any drug,
which, when given in moderate doses, will conquer this abnormal
condition of the brain, must be hailed as a God-send by every
humane practitioner.
The specific curative virtues of Cimicifuga in the sexual sphere
of the female have been tested to our perfect satisfaction. It is a
powerful preventive of miscarriage, where it may have to be given
in teaspoonful doses, if we wish to secure the desired effect. One
dose may prove sufficient. It gives great relief to nervous and
rheumatic subjects who are afflicted with painful menstruation.
Professor Hale informs us that, if given some time previous to the
menstrual period, it will prevent the distress and secure an easy
and regular advent of the catamenia.
We have never seen any striking results from the use of this
drug in metrorrhagia or menorrhagia. It facilitates labor-pains,
securing normal and regular contractions of the uterine walls, in
place of the spasmodic, irregular, ineffectual and exhausting contractions which sometimes render the first period of labor one of
great distress to nervous females. In case of uterine atony or exhaustion, we place more reliance upon Secale, either for the purpose of restoring the expulsive action of the uterus, or preventing
or arresting haemorrhage, by securing adeauate contraction of this
organ after parturition.
In the form of epilepsy which Scheanlein denominates uterine

NEW REMEDIES.


epilepsy, it has been used by physicians of the eclectic and the
regular allopathic school with much success.
In puerperal mania, Professor Simpson, of Edinburgh, has used
the Actaa with the most brilliant success. In part 43 of.Braithwaitess Retrospect, he reports a case of puerperal hypochondriasis
successfully treated with the tincture of Cimicifuga. After trying
in vain many plans to raise the patient out of her dark and gloomy
state, he finally ordered her fifty drops of the tincture of Actea
three times a day. On the third or fourth day, the cloud of misery
which had been darkening her existence, suddenly began to dissolve, and in a day or two more she felt perfectly herself again, in
gaiety, spirits and energy. This lady afterwards informed the
Professor that she had prescribed her own remedy to more than
one melancholic subject, with nearly as great success as she had
used it in her own case.
Cimicifuga affords relief from the ailments incident to irritable
uterus and to the period of menopausia, such as pain in the lumbar region, recurring more or less periodically; distress in the
upper part of the head, abnormal irritability of temper, flushings,
pains in the mammae and other parts sympathetic with the mammae;
and, as Dr. Richard Hughes informs us, it likewise dissipates " the
infra-mammary pain in unmarried females, which Simpson tells us
is to the uterus what pain in the shoulder is to the liver."
In functional disturbance of the heart, neuralgia of the heart,
angina pectoris, palpitation, &c., superinduced by rheumatic exposure, Cimicifuga renders excellent service. In organic heartdisease we consider it powerless; at least we have never derived
any good effects from it in our own practice. In the works of
eclectic practitioners especially, we find this drug cracked up in
terms of extravagant praise as a sovereign remedy for affections
of the heart. We would caution homoeopathic physicians against
allowing themselves to be beguiled into similar extravagances.
Cimicifuga is an excellent means of cure for a certain range of
heart-affections; Cactus-grandiflorus for another range; but to infer
from this, as has been done by homceopathic practitioners, that
they are superior to such well-tried remedies as Aconite and Digi.
talis, shows a strong deficiency of discriminating judgment and
well-founded knowledge and experience.

COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS.


31


COLLINSONIA       CANADENSIS.
(Stone-root.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Esculus, Caulophyllum, Alo6s, Hydrastis, Sulphur.
We prepare both a tincture and trituration of the root, and
likewise obtain and use a resinoid Collinsonia.
This drug was first brought prominently to the notice of the
homceopathic profession by Drs. Dunham and Fowler, of NewYork. It has been successfully used for hcemorrhoids, constipation and dysmenorrhcea. A number of interesting cases are reported by Dr. Fowler and others in the NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL
OF HOMCEOPATHY, where constipation and dysmenorrhoea, or con.
stipation and haemorrhoids, or constipation and a variety of consensual symptoms, such as headache, cough, dyspepsia, &c., yielded
to the use of Collinsonia in a reasonably short period of time, and
permanently.
Dr. Fowler used a decoction of the root, taking a handful of the
chopped root in a quart of water, boiled down to a pint. Of this
preparation the patient took a wineglassful three times a day.
Triturations of the Collinsonin, and the tincture and its attenuations, have been used with equal success by homceopathic practitioners.
Dr. Fowler's first acquaintance with the drug was procured in
the following manner, (see NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HOMmEOPATHY, vol. VI., page 50): " Some two years since," writes the
Doctor, " I remarked to a friend and patient that I was honored
with a number of cases of obstinate haemorrhoids, and that I really
wished that.I possessed some means of curing them, without danger of entailing some more serious disorder. My friend replied
that he could tell me of a remedy, and remarked that two or three
years ago he was an absolute martyr, in fact crippled with heemorrhoids."  The remedy was Collinsonia, and the patient was cured
by the above-mentioned decoction, in two weeks.
In another case varicocele disappeared altogether with the obstinate constipation for which the remedy was taken.
Dr. Snelling reports a case, where a distressing pruritus vulvx,
dysmenorrhcea and symptoms of prolapsus uteri, in the case of an
unmarried lady, aged 35 years, were " quietly and completely removed," in about a fortnight, by the use of Collinsonia, triturated
in the proportion of one to four, of which the patient took three
doses a day of three grains each.
Dr. Burt has furnished a proving of this drug, the reading of

which, at the third annual meeting of the Western Institute of
Homceopathy, elicited a discussion, in the course of which Prof.
Hale called attention to the use of this drug in diseases of the
heart. Dr. P. H. Hale, of Hudson, Mich., related a case of valvular
disease consequent upon a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, where Collinsonia seemed to afford marked relief. Other
physicians have reported equally favorably on the good effects of
this drug in diseases of the heart.
CORNUS     CIRCINATA.
(Round-leaved Dogwood.)
A pathogenesis of this drug may be found in the third volume
of the NoRTH AMERICAN JOURNAL, page 279. The provers were
Drs. Crane, Freeman and Fullgraff. It is recommended for dark,
bilious stools, with pain in the bowels before, during and after the
discharges; dull, heavy sensation in the head, with shooting, aching or throbbing pains in the head; symptoms of gastric derangement, such as loss of appetite, nausea, bitter taste; cholera-infantum, prostrating diarrhoea, unrefreshing sleep; chilliness, followed
by flushes of heat.
CORYDALIS FORMOSA.
(Turkey Corn.)
We have no provings of this drug. Hale recommends it in his
New.Remedies for scrofula'and scrofulous cachexia, gastric catarrh;
cachexia common after intermittents, and in certain obstinate cutaneous diseases.
CYPRIPEDIUM PUBESCENS.
o        (Large Yellow Ladies' Slipper.)
We have no provings of this drug, and have to use it empirically, or in accordanee with the recommendations of eclectics.
Professor Hale recommends it for morbid irritability of the brain,
more especially in the case of children. Dr. Kendall has found
an infusion of the root useful as an intercurrent remedy for the
jactitation, restlessness and trembling common in typhoid fever.

DIOSCOREA VILLOSA.


33


DIOSCOREA       VILLOSA. *
(Wild Yam.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Chamomilla, Ipecacuanha, Arsenicum, Colocynthis.
We use a tincture of the root, and likewise the resinoid Dioscorein and its triturations.
This drug had been used by the most eminent eclectic physicians
of the West, and by some of our Western homceopaths, as their
chief remedy for bilious colic, when it was more prominently introduced to the homceopathic brotherhood in Professor Hale's New
Remedies. We- have some excellent provings of this drug by Drs.
Burt, Nichol, Summer and Michener, which account most fully
and satisfactorily for the curative powers which this drug has
evinced in bilious colic, in spasmodic colic, and in cardialgia. We
learn from these provings that Dioscorea produces severe burning,
spasmodic, griping, aching pains, either in the epigastric region or
bowels; hence, being in hommopathic rapport with similar pathological conditions, it will necessarily cure the latter. Of the cases
in which we have been able to test its virtues, we will mention the
following three, as illustrative of the range of symptoms where its
good effects may be relied upon.
Case 1.-A young lady from the South, of 22 years, was subject
to attacks of hard, choking pain in the pit of the stomach. There
was no nausea, but the distress was agonizing, causing her to
moan, shiver and tremble; the extremities were cold, the pulse
weak and sinking. She had been suffering for a long time from
such attacks, and had done a good deal to obtain permanent relief
from her distress, but so fir to no purpose. An attack generally
lasted a good while and left her very much prostrated. During
one of her attacks she happened to be on a visit in our family,
She took ten drops of Lodge's tincture of Dioscorea, and had
scarcely swallowed the dose when she was completely and permanently relieved of her suffering. In this young lady's case the
attacks had originally been brought on by the great mental and
physical distress which the war had caused in her section of the
country and in her family.
Case 2.-A gentleman of 45 years, of rather delicate constitution and a very active mind, had for a year past been subject to
attacks of pain in the epigastric region afid the upper half of the
abdomen. They had originally been brought on by excessive
mental labor, sitting up late at night, eating late suppers, walk52*                                     1283

NEW REMEDIES.


ing and standing in very light boots on damp and cold ground,
&c. The attacks set in with creeping chills, a slightly accelerated
but very feeble pulse, expression of distress and pallor of the countenance, severe crampy pains in the bowels as if the bowels were
twisted together in a knot, or drawn together with an iron band;
the spirits were depressed, whereas, in his natural mood, the patient
had the reputation of being the most jovial man in town; the
bowels were constipated, and the general prostration of the system was very great. The family, who had been employing an excellent allopathic physician as their family adviser, had managed
to get along with hot fomentations to the bowels, mustard-draughts,
opiates and the like; but, getting tired of this treatment, and the
attacks getting worse from week to week and month to month,
finally he determined to try homoeopathic treatment in the case.
Fifteen to twenty drops of the tincture of Dioscorea were mixed in
half a goblet of water, of which the patient took a desertspoonful
every ten minutes. In about half an hour relief commenced, and
progressed so rapidly that the patient was able, on the morning
after the attack, to be about his office and attend to his ordinary
duties. Owing to his persistent irregularities in diet, and to his
recklessness in exposing himself to all kinds of weather, attacks
would come on occasionally, but the Dioscorea always proved a
match for them. If I am not mistaken, he has not had any attack
now for half a year, whereas, formerly, they used to come on as
often as once a fortnight and even once a week, and would keep
him prostrated for three, four and even more days.
Case 3.-The patient was a very stout woman of 40 years, married. For several years past she had been subject to the following
paroxysms, which came on once a fortnight, or once every three
or four weeks, but sometimes more frequently. She was suddenly
taken with a horrid cramp-pain in the pit of the stomach, the lesser
curvature felt as if it were violently drawn towards the spine;
every few minutes she had to vomit up bile, blood and mucus; the
effort to vomit seemed truly heart-rending; the pulse was slightly
accelerated and very feeble. Hands and feet very cold. These
attacks sometimes lasted several days, and left the patient prostrated for days after. All treatment in her case proved unavailing.
All that could be done for her was to palliate Ber sufferings with
opiates. Thanks to the New Remedies, we became acquainted
with Dioscorea-villosa, which proved the best and only friend tha-t
this woman ever had had in her distress. The drug at once arrested the vomiting, the crampy distress; she was able to lie on

her back or side, and the day following the attack she was able to
leave her bed. Whenever an attack threatened to come on at any
subsequent period, the Dioscorea very speedily put a stop to it.
Over-work, such as washing and mopping the floor, or eating indigestible food, were the main causes that brought an attack on in
her case.
Some of our physicians have used this drug with great advantage in cholera morbus and dysentery, when attended with severe
spasmodic pains in the bowels.
DOLICHOS PRURIENS.
(Cowhage.)
This agent is used as a vermifuge with excellent success. Prof.
Stokes, of Dublin, reports several cases in his work on Theory and
Practice, where a syrup of Cowhage removed a quantity of worms,
and, together with the worms, various constitutional symptoms,
cough, chronic bronchitis, dyspnoea, orthopncea, hepatization of the
left lower lobe of the lungs, &c.
Dr. Jeanes, of Philadelphia, gave it for a sticking pain in the
throat as from a splinter.
ELAPS    CORALLINUS.
(Coral Viper.)
This poison is recommended for deafness and fever and ague.
ERIGERON      CANADENSE.
(Canada Flea Bane.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Arsenicum, Secalc-cornutum, Caulophyllum, Arnica,
Ipeoacuanha.
This drug was first introduced to the homceopathic profession by
Dr. Ring, of Ohio. In the New- York Journal of HIomxopathy,
he writes: "Recently I have had two cases of dysuria in teething
children, which yielded to no remedy until I made use of drop
doses (two or three drops every two or three hours) of a tincture
of the Erigeron-canadense. The symptoms in the two cases were
more particularly pain so as to cause a great deal of crying on

voiding urine, the calls for which are frequent. The secretion was
abnormally increased and had a very strong odor. The parts externally-both were female children-were in both cases very much
inflamed, or irritated, with considerable mucus discharged. The
children were very fretful at all times." In dysuria of.children we
have found this remedy very excellent. The provings furnished
by Dr. Burt, of Iowa, seem to show that this drug has some specific relation to the kidneys.  He experienced a severe sticking
pain in the right kidney, and a persistent, hard, aching pain in the
lumbar region.
Some of our physicians recommend this drug very strongly for
uterine hcemorrhagia. In the cases where we have tried it, we
have not derived any benefit from its use. It may be that it is
only indicated in a peculiar range of cases which have not yet been
correctly defined. Dr. Burt experienced for several days in succession, hard, aching pain in the larger joints, apparently of a
rheumatic character. May not the haemorrhages to which Erigeron
is homceopathic be of this nature? We have tried the Erigeron
in a case of hicmaturia where we felt satisfied this remedy would
exert a curative influence. The patient was a little girl, ten years
old. She was a feeble, cachectic child, and passed half a small
chamberfil of a dark-looking, offensive fluid, a mixture of blood
and urine, at one sitting. There was considerable burning distress
in the region of the kidneys. She had been sick for some days
when we were called. The Erigeron oil did not touch the case.
Arsenicum 2 centes., changed the condition of things so completely
between evening and morning, that next forenoon the child was
discharged cured. Time and again we have promptly arrested
hbemorrhage from the nose, lungs, stomach, urethra and womb
with Aconite, Squills, Arsenic, Ipecacuanha and Secale-cornutum,
yet we can call to mind cases where Erigeron would have been
exceedingly acceptable, if we had known of it.
ERYNGIUM AQUATICUM.
(Button Snake-root.)
We have a fair pathogenesis of this drug by some of the members of Cleveland College, Ohio. This drug has been used with
good effect in seminal emissions and spermatorrhcea, some cures of
which are recorded in Eil( a -d.Hunt's Surgery, Vol. I,, page 400,

EUPATORIUM AROMATICUM.
(White Snake-root.)
Dr. B. L. Hill -has recommended this drug in his Epitome of
Practice, as a specific remedy for aphthous stomatitis in females
and children.
EUPATORIUM PURPUREUM.
(Queen of the Meadow, Gravel Root.)
The influence of this drug over the urinary secretions is very
marked. It has been successfully used in strangury, excessive
irritability of the bladder, dropsy depending upon renal trouble.
The dose has to be tolerably large.
EUPHORBIA       COROLLATA.
(Blooming Spurge.)
According to what we know of the action of this drug upon the
normal organism, it may be recommended for cholera-morbus, with
vomiting and diarrhoea, for an exhausting diarrhoea and dysenteric
diarrhoea. It seems to act similarly to Ipecacuanha and Tartaremetic.
GALLIC ACID.
This acid has been employed with success against various kinds
of hlemorrhage, from the lungs, nose, kidneys. It is useful in
menorrhagia, and diminishes the profuse expectoration of pus in
phthisis. In pyrosis it has had a good effect.
GALLIUM.

used by eclectic physicians, and is likewise used by physicians of
our own school, in the shape of a cold or warm infusion, which
seems to be the most efficient mode of securing the therapeutic
virtues of this plant, the root of which is not used. It is recommended and has been used with success in dysuria, ischuria and
calculous affections. It is likewise said to be useful as an anti
scorbutic agent.  The -British Journal of TlomCeopathy, vol.
XXIII., page 139, contains the record of a cancerous affection of
the tongue cured by Gallium. "The patient was a married woman,
60 years of age, and was admitted into the hospital April 5th,
1864, on account of a hard, firm, somewhat circumscribed tumor,
of about the size of a boy's marble flattened, imbedded in the substance of the tongue, on the right side, about an inch from its
apex, which had been gradually increasing in size since she first
observed it, five weeks before, when it was about as large as a
hemp-seed.
"The upper surface was nodulated and uneven, and the swelling
generally had the appearance and feel of a scirrhous formation in
the organ. It had all along been extremely painful, so much so as
entirely to prevent her sleeping at night; it was exquisitely tender
to the touch when handled, and latterly she had experienced a
throbbing, beating pain in it, which had induced her to think it
was about to burst. There was no appearance of its having been
caused by injury to the tongue through a decayed tooth. She had
always been in the habit of living tolerably well, but had been
suffering a good deal from general debility and languor for some
time before the commencement of the swelling. Her countenance
did not indicate any peculiar cachectic condition of the system,
and there was no history of any hereditary cancerous taint in the
family. The tumor had increased rather rapidly lately, and she
was quite unable to masticatp solid food on account of the pain it
induced, which had added much to her original weakness.
" She was ordered to have strong cold beef tea frequently during the day for diet, with a pint of porter daily, and to take the
following medicine: Two ounces of the solid extract of Galliumaperinum to half a pound of water. Of this solution she took one
drachm and a half a day, in a wineglassful of wat.er. She was
also ordered to use the above mixture as a warm lotion to the
mouth several times a day, keeping it in the mouth for some time
during each application.
"A month after her admission, she had completely recovered
from the languor and debility under which she had previously been

saffering; her face, instead of being pallid and sallow, had, recovered a healthy and somewhat florid appearance, which was
natural to her; the pain in the tumor had been gradually diminishing; and the tumor itself had become so much reduced in size as
to be scarcelyr discernible to the touch, and as she was now able
to take solid food without discomfort and with an appetite, she
was, at the end of five weeks, discharged from the hospital. A
fortnight afterwards, having continued the remedies prescribed,
she presented herself as an out-patient, when it was found that the
tumor had entirely disappeared, and the tongue had recovered its
natural structure and appearance."
In epilepsy, Dr. Ogle has obtained the most successful results by
means of this agent.
GELSEMINUM SEMPERVIRENS.
(Yellow Jessamine.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Belladonna, Cannabis-indica, Caulophyllum Opium,
Veratrum-viride, Chloroform.
We prepare a tincture of the root, and likewise use the resinoid
Gelsemin.
This drug was first recommended to the homoeopathic profession
by Dr. B. L. Hill, in the year 1856, who at that time filled the
Chair of Surgery in the Cleveland Homaoopathic College. We
have made extensive use of this drug in our own practice, and can
recommend it in the following affections, where a number of other
homceopathic practitioners have likewise tested and verified its
curative virtues, both in high and low attenuations, and large, material doses.
Gelseminum   exerts a marked influence over the muscles. In
one of the few cases of poisoning reported by King, a prominent
eclectic writer, we find the following effects recorded of the poison:
" Complete loss of muscular power; was unable to move a limb,
or even to raise his eyelids, although he could hear and was cognizant of circumstances transpiring around him. His friends,
greatly alarmed, collected around him, watching the result with
much anxiety, and expecting every minute to see him breathe his
last. After some hours he gradually recovered.
This case shows that Gelseminum is specifically homneopathic to
cataleptic conditions and to attacks of hysteria resembling catalepsy. We have used it with advantage in such attacks.
1239

NEW REMEDIES.


We are in possession of a number of excellent provings of this
drug, all of which shed a good deal of light upon the therapeutic
powers of this remarkable agent. Its influence upon the eyes is
very great; it causes dimness of sight, amaurosis, paralysis of the
upper eyelids. Provers have experienced a variety of pains in the
head; sometimes the pain was felt over the whole head, sometimes
only in the forehead, or extending from the occiput to the forehead, or in the side of the head. A symptom in Dr. Henry's proving reads: " The pains seem to wind round the right eye."  The
Gelseminum pains in the head seem to show a tendency to occur
periodically, or to shift from one region to another and then to reappear again in the former. Headaches of this character come
within the province of Gelseminum. They are nervous, or rheumatic headaches. In nervous hemicrania Gelseminum must prove
useful. There is no vomiting, as in sick headache, but great nervous suffering, the irritation being confined to one side of the head,
involving.the eye, and causing great nervousness..Rheumatic
headaches, with drawing or heavy dull pains, or sharp, shooting
pains in the forehead, pains in the top of the head or down the
occiput, yield to Gelseminum. In both these classes of headache
the eyes are more or less affected. Irritation of the eyes characterized by soreness of the eyeballs, disturbed vision, lachrymation,
pricking pain in the eyes, heaviness and drooping of the lids,
would be additional indications for Gelseminum. Such headaches
are likewise very often accompanied by the dizziness which all our
provers of Gelseminum have experienced in a greater or less degree.
The influence of Gelseminum over the nervous and muscular
systems has already been alluded to. It causes, and therefore will
cure catalepsy. It likewise causes pains resembling those of neuralgic rheumatism. They are drawing and crampy pains in the
muscles and toes. In Mr. Bigelow's proving these drawing, contracting and crampy pains extended from the thighs to the toes,
and seemed to proceed from the bones as well as the muscles.
Gelseminum being possessed of such a remarkable power to extinguish muscular activity, we may derive benefit from its use in some
attacks of rheumatic paralysis. Consensual abnormal impressions
of the general, sensorium, such as Gelseminum is capable of pro.
ducing, may furnish additional indications for its use in an attack
of this kind.
In hysteria, with excessive melancholy, prostration of the muscular power, excessive nervous irritability, spasmodic attacks, Gelseminum has effected fine cures. Its action upon the mind, as

elicited by our provings, account for its successful use in hysteric
affections. Even hysteric convulsions have yielded promptly and
permanently to its influence. So have puerperal convulsions in the
hands of Dr. Douglas and our own. Tetanic convulsions are said
to have been cured with Gelseminum. We have no experience to
offer in this respect. In trismus, more especially in the trismus of
hysteria, we have known it to relax the spasm very promptly.
In neuralgia, particularly of the face, Gelseminum should not be
overlooked. It is not, by any means, the equal of Aconite in this
disease; and, in the intermittent neuralgia of districts where fever
and ague are endemic, Quinine exceeds it by far in therapeutic
power. - Nevertheless, if the attack is attended by dizziness, a sensation as if the brain would float off, blurred vision, soreness and
redness of the eyeball; or if the attack is chiefly experienced in
the eyeball itself, or in the region above or around the orbit, Gelseminum may be advantageously given in alternation with Quinine,
but in moderately large doses. In congestive neuralgia, when the
affected part feels swollen, with a good deal of burning and throbbing distress; or in the tic-douloureux of the French, when the
pains are lancing, boring, gnawing, sticking, screwing, &c., we
never hesitate, in case the external and internal use of Aconite
does not afford speedy relief, to administer this remedy in alternation with Gelseminum.
We naturally would expect a great deal from Gelseminum in
affections of the eyes. It has proved an excellent remedy in
asthenopia, or weakness of sight, occasioned by abusing the visual
organ, or overstraining it. Gelseminum will prove beneficial to
literary persons who have weakened their eyes by reading at night,
or to mechanics, who have to strain their eyes by fine work. Ruta
has been the stand-by of homceopathic physicians in this trouble,
but we have never derived much benefit from it. Gelseminum
promises much better in this respect. In amaurosis and amblyopia,
with spots floating before the eyes, &c., Gelseminum has effected
very brilliant cures. However, it will not supercede either Aconite
or Belladonna in this affection. In a case of amaurosis, resulting
from rheumatic exposure, attended with intense pain in the region
where the internal carotid winds round the optic nerve, a few drops
of the tincture of Aconite, in half a tumbler of water, in desertspoonful doses every ten or fifteen minutes, effected a speedy cure.
In ptosis, a paralytic drooping of the upper lids, Gelseminum is
specifically indicated by our provings, and by the few cases of
poisoning reported in King's.Dispensatory. In strabismus, when
1241

NEW REMEDIES.


resulting from accidental spasmodic irritation of the muscles of the
eyes, Gelseminum competes with any of the remedies upon which
we are in the habit of relying for curative effects in this disease.
Whether Gelseminum will prove of much use in affections of the
sense of hearing, we are unable to say. Dr. Allen, of New-York,
reports a curious case of sore throat, with deafness and dysmenorrhcea, where all these symptoms disappeared as if by magic under
the operation of a dose of Gelseminum 100.
Enuresis of children as well as old people, resulting from weakness or paralysis of the sphincter, has been satisfactorily treated
with Gelseminum. In spasms of the urethers and bladder, when
caused by exposure, or by the passage of calculi through the
ureters, Gelseminum competes with Belladonna and Chamomilla.
In seminal emissions, with relaxation of the parts, Gelseminum
has afforded much relief; likewise in spermatorrhcea. Dr. Thomas
Nichol reports a very brilliant cure of this latter disease. The
patient was a young man who had brought himself to the brink
of the grave by self-abuse. The Doctor placed him upon the first
decimal trituration of Gelsemin, one-third of a grain, morning,
noon and night; and, in the space of nine months restored him to
perfect health.
In gonorrhcea, Gelseminum has likewise effected cures. Dr.
John Douglas, of Chester District, S. C., states that some thirty
years ago, a patient came into his office with gonorrhcea of several
months' standing, which had been improperly treated. One of his
pupils begged him to allow him to treat the case, saying he could
cure the most obstinate case in a few days with the root of Yellow
Jessamine. A small handful of the root was put into a common
junk-bottle of whiskey, and the patient ordered, in a day or two,
to take a tablespoonful of this mixture night and morning. lie
took but a few doses when he became much alarmed with the effect
upon his eyes, thinking that the medicine had destroyed his vision.
Every symptom of gonorrhcea had, however, disappeared, and the
cure was permanent. Since that time he has treated many cases
with it, and invariably with the same success. In this disease the
medicine has to be given in tolerably massive doses, Brilliant
cures have been effected by this drug with quantities large enough
to cause blindness.
In affections of the bowels our personal experience with Gelseminum is very limited. Eclectics profess to have employed it with
great success in bilious diarrhoea, dysentery and in spasmodic colic,
caused by the presence of worms. There is certainly no reason
1242




GELSEMINUM SEMPERVIRENS.


43


why it should not moderate the tormina and tenesmus in dysentery,
or relax the spasm in strangulated hernia, or the spasmodic distress caused by worms. Dr. Hale says, that " he has had unusual
success in treating worm  affections with Gelsemin 2, decimal trituration, alternated with Podophyllin, 1st or 2d, and Santonin, onetenth, each in grain doses, two hours apart. After two or three
days the worms are either expelled in large numbers, or the verminous symptoms all disappear. A weak dilution of the tincture
injected into the rectum will often bring away large quantities of
ascarides."
We have already alluded to the fact, that Gelseminum    has
evinced fine therapeutic powers in dysmenorrhcea. Dr. Allen, of
New-York, relieved a case of dysmenorrhcea of long standing by
a small dose of Gelseminum 100. This seems a most extraordinary
case, where dysmenorrhcea, chronic sore throat and deafness were
cured at one blow. Nevertheless, all these ailments may have resulted from one and the same condition of abnormal innervation,
and, for this reason, yielded to a remedial influence that was
adequate to remove the first cause of these derangements.
Spasmodic labor-pains and distressing and exhausting afterpains, are controlled by Gelseminum. In uterine heemorrhage,
from atony of the uterine vessels, Gelseminum has been employed
with success. In prolonged menorrhagia it may be depended
upon as an efficient agent to arrest the flow of blood. The homceopathicity of this drug will have to be determined by the accompanying symptoms and the general nature of the case.
In general, Gelseminum is one of those agents which will prove
of vast benefit to an accoucheur. It has power to speedily overcome the rigidity of the os uteri, which is so often an obstacle to
labor, and will quiet the nervousness which is so troublesome to
parturient females, or during pregnancy, and will afford them a
refreshing sleep, if they should be tormented by sleeplessness.
Our provings point to Gelseminum as an agent that may do good
service in catarrh and influenza. The headache and the peculiar
irritation which this agent occasions, the sharp, shooting pains in
the forehead, the catarrhal irritation of the Schneiderian membrane,
fluid discharges from the nose and throat, soreness and irritation
of the air-passages, cough, and the general debility, chilliness and
the more or less general myalgia which we find recorded among
the pathogenetic symptoms of this drug, justify its use in simple
catarrhal affections.  Of course, it will not supercede Aconite,
1243




44


NEW REMEDIES.


Arsenic, Tartar-emetic and other drugs belonging to the same
series.
In spasmodic and racking cough, having-a catarrhal origin, with
irritation of the lining membrane of the air-passages, we have derived benefit from the use of this drug. We have never depended
upon it either in acute bronchitis or acute pneumonia, although
in pulmonary congestion, its employment would seem justified upon
homceopathic principles. Some of the pathogenetic symptoms of
this drug point to acute congestion of pulmonary parenchyma.
One of Dr. Henry's symptoms reads: " Short, paroxysmal pain in the
superior part of the right lung; on taking a long breath, it sticks
from above downwards; this pain in the lungs is one of the most
prominent symptoms."
In spasm of the glottis, Gelseminum has been used with some
benefit by some homoeopathic physicians. We have cured the
most threatening cases of this disease with Aconite, but should not
hesitate to employ both drugs in alternation, giving a much larger
dose of the Gelseminum than the Aconite.
In fever Gelseminum commends itself to the attention of homceopathic practitioners. In the common catarrhal, or even rheumatic
fever, we have always got along very satisfactorily with Aconite,
Chamomilla, Mercurius-vivus, using in the more deep-seated cases
a few doses of Belladonna, &c. Gelseminum has proved a most
acceptable addition to this group of remedies, especially when the
fever-type approximated to the remittent type. In the infantile
remittent fever, which Schcenlein describes as acute scrofula, Gelseminum is a very efficient curative agent. It must not be expected,
however, that such. a fever can be cured as if by magic. In infantile remittents the fever depends upon an acute irritation of the mesenteric ganglia, on which account, Sch(enlein likewise denominates
such a pathological condition " acute ganglionitis."  If there is
much stupor, dry heat of the skin, especially of the abdomen,
flushed face, dilatation of the pupils, Belladonna may be required.
Iodine and Aconite are useful agents in this disease. Let us likewise be thankful for the powerful aid of Gelseminum. We would
suggest, however, that in some of the fine cures reported as cures
of infantile remittent fever, the fever really was an acute attack of
irritative fever of the remittent type, but where no ganglionic congestion stood in the way of a comparatively rapid cure.
In cerebro-spinal meningitis we commend Gelseminum as a reliably useful curative agent. In the third volume of the Proceedings of the N.-Y. State Homceopathic Medical Society, Dr. S. Searle,
1244




GELSEMINUM SEMPERVIRENS.


45


of Troy, N.-Y., has set forth the homoeopathicity of Gelseminum
to this disease in such a strikingly convincing manner, that we take
the liberty of quoting some of his remarks: "Gelseminum has
direct relation to the incipient or congestive stage of cerebro-spinal
meningitis, and also in some degree to the consequent inflammation:
"while Cimicifuga-racemosa is, in my judgment, homceopathic to
the inflammation of the sero-fibrous tissues involved, and to the
irritation of the cerebro-spinal system, which is due to the proximity of the inflammation of its investing membrane, and which
manifests itself in spasms. It seems also correlative to that state
of the blood which results in the petechiae so common in the
severe cases of the disease, and, to use the post hoc ergo propter
hoc argument as cumulative and confirmatory; I may say that I
have used these remedies, relying upon their homeEopathicity,
with complete and uniform success.
" Let us now briefly compare the toxicology of these drugs,
with the symptoms of the disease under discussion. An attack of
cerebro-spinal meningitis is usually sudden, and is ushered in by a
severe chill, accompanied by evident congestion of the spine and
brain, with its ordinary symptoms, among which, I believe, dilatation of the pupils is always seen. This state is followed, except in
those cases which die collapsed, by reactionary fever of corresponding violence. In such a condition of the system no remedy is
so hommeopathic as Gelseminum. In cases of poisoning by Gelseminum, the universal symptoms are prostration; complete loss of
muscular power, of vision and speech; staggering gait; icy coldness of the hands and feet; pulse very feeble or imperceptible;
respiration labored, feeble; nausea and vomiting. All of these
symptoms are relieved by cerebral stimulants, showing what portion of the organism feels the depressing power of the drug. One
symptom which is so prominent and constant, that it is almost
characteristic of Gelseminum, is languor and heaviness of the eyelids; they close in spite of all the efforts of the will. No language
could more accurately describe the incipient stage of the malady
under consideration. In short, every symptom of intense congestion to the brain and spine, and the partial paralysis which necessarily attends it, may be found described with equal accuracy in
the pathogenesis of this drug, and the diagnosis of the disease.
"It is stated by Hale 'that the intense hypervemia of the brain
caused by Gelseminum stops just short of inflammation.' As we
have no record of post-mortem examinations in any case of reported
death, there are no means of affirming or disproving this assumption;
1245




46


NEW REMEDIES.


but I feel confident he is in error, and that the same law obtains
in toxicology as in disease, viz: that long-continued congestion,
especially if violent, must end in inflammation. The only conceivable exception is in cases where the congestion to vital organs is so
overwhelming as at once to suspend their functions, and thus destroy life. Thus believing, I have continued the use of Gelseminum
when its characteristic symptoms were manifest, even in the inflammatory stage of the disease. The indications which should
determine its use, after inflammation has become decided, may be
found in the pathogenesis of the drug, and are quite as distinctively characteristic of the disease when fully developed, as in its
inception."
We consider it as one of the remedies to be employed in bilious
remittent fever, with frontal or general headache, dizziness, tendency to stupor, jaundiced color of the eyes and face, foul taste in
the mouth, nausea and vomiting, bilious discharges from the bowels
or constipation, prostration, pains in the muscles and bones, &c..
In intermittent fever its therapeutic powers are highly valued.
In our region of country where intermittents are endemic, and
where we cannot possibly get along without the use of Quinine
we attach a good deal of importance to Gelseminum as an intercurrent remedy, or as a remedy that may be profitably used in
alternation with Quinine. In an attack of true congestive chills
we certainly should not depend upon Gelseninum alone to ward
off the next attack.
ABSTRACT      OF  SYMPTOMS.       I-EAD.-Pain of the head,
quite constant, dull, stupefying, and pressive; most frequently in
the forehead and temples. Bruised pain above and back of the
orbits.  Tightness of the brain.  Often more or less headache,
with nausea. Giddiness is pretty constant: an intoxicated feeling, and tendency to stagger, often with dizziness and imperfection
of vision, aggravated by smoking.
MENTAL SYMPTOMS.-Irritable and impatient mood; incapacity
to think or fix the attention; confusion of mind; stupid, intoxicated
feeling; dullness of all the mental faculties. In one case great
mirthfulness.
EYEs.-Great heaviness of the lids; difficulty of opening the
eyes or keeping them open; eyes close in spite of him, on looking
steadily at an object; fullness and congestion of the lids; diplopia
when inclining the head towards the shoulder, but vision single
when holding the head erect. Dryness of the eyes; misty or
1246




GELSEMINUM SEMPERVIRENS.


47


glimmering appearance before the eyes; pain in the orbits, sometimes excessive.
NOSE.-In a few cases watery discharge from the nose.
TASTE AND APPETITE.-Thirst during the sweat. Mawkish taste
in the mouth, clammy feverish taste; great hunger.
GASTRIC SYMPToMs.-Feeling of emptiness and weakness in the
stomach and bowels; eructation; nausea; hiccough.
ABDOMEN, &c.- Slight pain in the transverse colon. Gnawing
pain in the transverse colon. Slight pain in the left iliac region.
After chills, headache, fever and prolonged sweating. Seventeen
hours after taking -the drug was awakened by severe gripings in
the lower abdomen, soon followed by a very large and natural
stool, but followed by no diminution of pain until another large
deeply bilious discharge, followed by instant relief of pain.
URINE.-Rather increased in quantity, clear and watery; frequent micturition.
LARYNX AND TRACHEA.-Paroxysms of hoarseness, with dryness of throat, voice seems weak; stitching sensation in the region
of the heart; constrictive pain around the part of the chest.
BAcK.-Pain in the back, as in the cold stage of ague (many
cases).
EXTREMITIES.-Coldness of the extremities, especially the feet,
often severe; feet feel as if in cold water. Aguish feeling, with
pain in the legs. Pain in popliteal space.
FEVER.-Febrile chilliness; cold extremities; heat of head and
face, with headache. Pulse uniformly depressed, and rendered
less frequent. Pulse soon becomes very feeble in many cases;
sometimes scarcely perceptible, with chilliness, cold feet, heat and
pain of the head. In a majority of cases perspiration follows the
fever. The pathogenesis of no drug represents so completely and
so uniformly all the stages of the ordinary fevers of this country.
SLEEP.-Disposition to yawn; a sort of stupor; cannot keep the
eyes open; is obliged to lie down and sleep. Drowsiness and long
sound sleep are very general symptoms.
SKIN.-The Gelseminum produces a peculiar and very marked
eruption in most of the cases. It appears on the face most frequently, but sometimes also upon the back, between the shoulders.
It is papulous, very much the color of measles, which it closely
resembles; but the papulhe are more distant and distinct. Though
very conspicuous, they are attended with little or no sensationthe patient being unaware of any eruption until he happens to see
himself. Persons have frequently been asked what was the matter,
1247




48


NEW REMEDIES.


or if they had the measles, when they were not aware of the eruption. It generally appears the second or third day of the proving,
and continues one or two weeks.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.-Weakness and trembling throughout the whole system; listless and languid; great lassitude; feeling of tightness of the body; fear of falling or stumbling; easily
fatigued; general feeling of illness, as in fever.
Most of the above symptoms were elicited from the tincture, in
doses of one to five drops. A few were made with the third dilution, and in all of those the characteristic eruption was produced.
GLONOINE.
(Nitro-glycerine.)
COMPARE WITH-Aconite, Belladonna, Opium.
This drug was first introduced into homoeopathic practice by
Dr. Hering of Philadelphia.
Dr. Richard Hughes of England sums up the action of this drug
very comprehensively in the following terse statement: " The action of Glonoine lies within a very small compass. If you will
touch your tongue with a five per cent solution you will find that in
a few minutes your pulse will have increased by from 20 to 40 beats
until a pretty violent bursting headache develops itself with which
there will be some giddiness, and a sense of constriction about the
throat. If you are sensitive to the drug, nausea and faintness may
supervene, and even complete insensibility ensue. This is the nearly
uniform action of Glonoine upon nearly every one who has taken it."
These physiological effects of Glonoine upon the medulla oblongata and the pneumogastric nerves coming off from this centre,
have led homceopathic physicians to use it in congestive or apoplectic headaches, more particularly if the occipital region of the head is
the seat of distress. It has likewise shown excellent efects in
sun-stroke, and has checked puerperal convulsions with hypercemia
of the cerebral vessels. It ought to prove useful in apoplexy, and
in the congestions, throbbing and bursting headache arising from
accidental suppression of the menses. In neuralgia it has afforded
relief in some cases; whether it will prove useful in bronchial affections, will have to be ascertained by further experiments.

GNAP-HALIUM POLICEPHALUM. HAMAMELIS VIRGINICA.


49


GNAPHALIUM POLYCEPHALUM.
(Cud Weed.)
Dr. Woodbury, of Manchester, has published a proving of this
drug, and recommends it for diarrhoea, cholera-morbus, cholerainfantum, and especially the diarrhoeas of children, occurring during the heat of summer, and characterized by copious, watery and
exhausting discharges, with or without griping or nausea, and
which frequently proves so intractable during dentition.
GOSSIPPIUM      HERBACEUM.
(Cotton Plant.)
The medicinal effects of this plant are highly problematical. The
seeds are used in intermittent fever. The drug is supposed to act
beneficially in metrorrhagia from atony of the uterus and other
uterine derangements. Very doubtful.
GUACO, MIKANIA        GUACO.
This drug has acquired importance from the fact that it has been
suggested as a remedy for Asiatic cholera. See NORTH AMERICAN
JOURNAL OF HOMEOPATiIY, Vol. II., page 16. One species of
Guaco is used as an antidote to snake-poison.
HAMAMELIS       VIRGINICA.
(Witch-Hazel.)
COMPARE WITH: Aconite, Esculus, Pulsatilla, Millefolium, Secale-cornutum.
We prepare a tincture of the bark and leaves. The resinoid
Hamamelin is likewise used. There are likewise several patentpreparations of this medicine sold by druggists, among which
Pond's Extract enjoys an extensive reputation.
Doctor Burt has communicated a short, but exceedingly instructive
proving of'this drug which furnishes confirmatory evidence of its
specific relat on to the sexual apparatus. This drug has been used
empirically fr a number of years, and, for the last fifteen years or
more, has li ewise been employed by homceopathic practitioners
for derangem nts of the venous system and of the sexual apparatus
3                                      1249

NEW REMEDIES.


In the former range it has been used with marked success for
the following affections:
Venous hcemorrhage, the blood flowing passively, not with the
projectile or per saltum force of arterial hemorrhage. The haemorrhage may take place from any orifice of the body, from the nose
(epistaxis); from  the stomach (haematemesis); from  the lungs
(hmmoptysis, hemoptoe); from the urethra (hamaturia); from
the bowels, in which latter case the hemorrhage may proceed from
the portal system of veins or from the haemorrhoidal vessels. In
metrorrhagia this drug has likewise rendered good service, not in
arterial active haemorrhage, but in the passive form of this accident,
in venous hemorrhage. In bleeding hcemorrhoids, the witch-hazel
is advantageously applied externally by means of a compress moistened with the medicine. To hbemorrhoidal tumors the witch-hazel
may be applied in the shape of an ointment. In some parts of our
country an ointment is made of witch-hazel and powdered alum.
Even in purpura the witch-hazel is said to have exhibited curati-v  virtues. We have never used it in this affection, and should
have very little faith in its curative virtues unless aided by such
agents as Phosphorus, Phosphoric-acid, &c.
The doctrine laid down in our books that this drug is the remedy
for passive or venous hemorrhage, is likewise too broad a generalization. Heemorrhage from the portal system of veins very often
yields promptly and permanently to Aconite. Some time ago a
gentleman who had engaged passage for Europe, was suddenly
attacked with hematuria. He was of spare build, of a nervousbilious temperament, felt low-spirited and feeble; pulse rather thin.
The attack had been brought on by over-excitement and physical
exertion preparatory to his departure. The discharges of blood
were not very copious, but frequent. We should add that there
was slight fluttering about the heart, a little headache and dizziness.
The blood had a dark-red appearance. The patient was directed
to mix one or two drops of the tincture of Aconite in half a tumbler
of water, and to take a swallow of this mixture every hour. A few
doses proved sufficient to restore him.
Time and again we have arrested hcemorrhoidal dcemorrh.ages
with a few doses of the first, second and even sixth potency of
Aconite. We mention these facts in order to prevent one good
remedy from crowding out another equally usefil agent.
For varicose veins and varicose ulcers, Hamamelis is the best remedy with which we are acquainted. The drug should be used
internally as well as externally. Externally we apply compresses
1250




HAMAMELIS VIRGINICA.


51


saturated with an infusion of witch-hazel to the varicose limb, and
hold them in place by means of a tight bandage.
We have used Hamamelis with great success in phlebitis, except
in cases where the inflammation was occasioned by the absorption
of purulent matter; here we have found the use of Aconite and
Belladonna in tolerably large doses indispensable.
In phlegmasia alba dolens we have likewise derived great benefit
from Hamamelis; nevertheless we would guard practitioners against
overlooking the good offices which Aconite and Belladonna will
render in this distressing malady.
The good effects of Hamamelis in diseases of the sexual organs
have been verified in a number of cases and a variety of affections.
In vicarious menstruation, this drug has proved admirably
capable of diverting the hsemorrhagic tendency from its abnormal
channel and restoring the regular catamenial discharge.
Dr. Burnett, of New-Orleans, reports the following case which
he describes as a case of dysmenorrhuea. "A colored woman, aged
thirty-five. Two years previous, at a time the menses should have
appeared, she experienced severe pains through the lumbar and
hypogastric regions, and down the legs; fullness of the bowels and
brain, with severe pain through the whole head, resulting in stupor
and deep sleep, lasting twelve to thirty-six hours, from which it
was impossible to arouse her; after which she gradually returned
to her natural state, and so remained till the time for her next
menstrual period, when the same suffering was repeated. She was
brought to me at the commencement of one of these paroxysms;
the pain in the head, pubic region and legs had already commenced.--I gave eight globules of the fifteenth dilution of Hamamelis, to be taken in two doses, four hours apart, which established
her menses perfectly without any further medication, and she continued to menstruate regularly afterwards."
In vaginal leucorrhsea we have used this agent with partial succes. We direct injections of an infusion into the vagina, and at
the same time prescribe it internally.
In sub-acute irritations of the ovaries, ovarian tumors, neuralgic
'pains in the ovaries, soreness of the ovaries without swelliug, the
witch-hazel has proved very efficient. It should be used internally
and externally.
In orchitis Doctor Ludlam advises the external application of
Hainamelis for the purpose of palliating the inflammation and the
pain.
Among the symptoms elicited by Dr. Burt in his provings he
1251




52


NEW REMEDIES.


describes a severe pain in the testes as a very marked and permanent effect of the drug. The pain continued so persistently and
was so severe that he had to discontinue his proving. This symptom would seem to point to Hamamelis as a remedy for acute pain
or neuralgia of the testes. It is our impression that this pain arose
from venous congestion of the testes. To this sort of venous congestion of the sexual apparatus Hamamelis is specifically adopted.
This sort of excruciating pain of the testes may arise from another
form of congestion to which Hamamelis is not specifically homceopathic, and for which it would not, therefore, afford any relief; we
mean bilious congestion. We will illustrate our teaching by an
example. A stout drayman of 45 years was attacked with biliousremittent fever, which was treated throughout with Mercuriusvivus, first and second centes. trituration. The patient was rapidly
recovering and on the point of being discharged, when we were
sent for, late in the night, with a message that the man " was
dying." Arriving at the house we found that the man had exposed
himself to a draught of air in consequence of which the perspiration
had become checked and he had been attacked with a pain in his
testes which had been steadily increasing for the last four hours,
and finally had become so agonizing that the poor fellow trembled
from pain and was slightly delirious. We diagnosed " congested
bile," and prescribed Mere. first centes. trituration every five minutes. In a few minutes relief commenced and in half an hour the
patient was perfectly easy and dropped to sleep.

as denoted in the external treatment for haemorrhoids.
HEDEOMA      PULEGIOIDES
(American Penny-royal.)
We have an interesting case of poisoning by this drug, recorded.
by Dr. Toothaker, in the second volume of the Philadelphia
Journal of Homreopathy, page 655.
In domestic practice the oil of penny-royal has been principally
used as an emmenogogue, for the purpose of bringing oil the catamenia or even abortion. It has not been used much by homieopathic physicians. It may prove useful in sub-acute ovaritis, metritis, also in dysmenorrhaea, threatening miscarriage.

bladder, loss of appetite, debility, emaciation. Hellonias being possessed of an apparently specific power to depress the spirits, the
urinary and uterine difficulties to which it is homceopathic are
generally attended with a melancholy state of mind. In one case,
reported by Dr. Rogers of Coldw~ater, Mlich. the urinary trouble
was attended with impotence. This likewise was permanently relieved under the operation of the Helonias.
As a uterinie toniic this remedy holds a distinguished rank. It
seems to he particularly adapted to aueemic female's of a lax fibre.
It has been used with success against prolapsus uteri, men orrhagia
and rnetrorrhagia in the case of impoverished, anoemic' females; it
has prevented misecarriage and has relieved the distresss experienced by debilitated anvemic females at the commencement of the
catameni~a. We have known it to relieve the most agonizing tortures that seemed unbearable and would extort the most piteous
moans from the sufferer, in the space of a few miautes. The medicine had to be administered ia pretty large doses.
HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS.
(Golden Seal.)
COMPARE WITH: Collinsonia, Iodine, Mercurius-bijodatus, Phytolacca-decand ra, &c.
We use a tincture of the fresh and triturations of the dried root.
Two alkaloids, a white and a yellow alkaloid, have, likewise been

HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS.

obtained, called respectively hydrastia and hydrastina. The muriate of hydrastia is likewise employed by homoeopathic physicians.
This drug seems to exert a disintegrating influence over
the mucous surfaces, and likewise affects certain portions of the
glandular system more or less specifically. Hence it is used in a
variety of affections specifically analogous to the morbid conditions
which IIydrastis is capable of developing. The use we have made
of this drug, has led us to believe that it has power to counteract
the scrofulous diathesis. We have prescribed it with excellent success in
Intertrigo infantum, using compresses moistened with a weak
infusion of the powdered root or a weak solution of the Muriate of
Hydrastin.
In nursing sore mouth and in the aphthee of infants a similar but
stronger solution of the Muriate of Hydrastin proves curative in
most cases. In our part of the country mothers are in the habit of
using an infusion of hydrastis and sage, to which they add a little
borax. If the children are born of very scrofulous parents, we use
the muriate of hydrastin wash, and prescribe small doses of the
Iodide'of Mercury internally..Chronic scrofulous ulcers, both of the irritable and indolent type,
are greatly benefitted and often cured by the hydrastis ointment or
compresses saturated with an infusion of hydrastis.
In certain forms of chronic angina faucium a gargle of hydrastis
is very beneficial. The throat feels hot, sensitive, and has a reddish,
dry appearance. It may either be studded with whitish ulcers
or with red little pimples and blood is easily raised by hawking. It
is in chronic or sub-acute affections of this kind that the golden
seal either exerts a curative or at least a palliative influence. We
have seen acute attacks of angina faucium taking this form; in
such cases the tincture of Aconite-root or the lower attenuations
will be required to effect a speedy cure.
By Professor Hale's recommendation we have used a solution of
the Muriate of Hydrastin in ozena, using it locally in the shape of
an injection, and have seen great benefit derived from this treatment. In the leucorrhoea of scrofulous females who were much
troubled with constipation and weak digestion, injections of a
solution of this salt, or of a strong infusion of the root, have likewise proved highly beneficial. At the same time the hydrastis is to
be given internally in tolerably massive doses of the tincture or of
a strong infusion.
Following the example of some of our English hommopaths we
1255

have tried to cure cancer with Hydrastis, but, so far, have utterly
failed in accomplishing this result. In open cancer we have succeeded in removing all pain by the persistent employment of the
Hydrastin-ointment; and we have seen schirrous glandular tumors
diminish in size under the influence of Hydrastis used internally and
externally, but we have not yet succeeded in a single instance in
effecting a thorough cure.
In conjunctivitis, especially when caused by frequent exposure
to the irritating influence of dust and wind, Hydrastis proves a fine
agent to soothe the pain and even to effect a cure.
An infusion of the root or a solution of the salt has to be applied
externally, and the tincture or its attenuations have to be used internally at the same time.
Since Hydrastis has a decided action upon the liver, we may expect to derive benefit from its use in affections resulting from inaction of this organ. We have used it successfully in some forms of
jaundice where it competes with Podophyllin; likewise in dyspepsia
characterised by a sinking sensation and feeling of warmth in the
epigastric region, and attended with habitual constipation. In this
latter affection, constipation, the golden seal has shown remarkable
curative powers. It seems particularly indicated in cases that have
been made worse by the abuse of opening medicines, and are attended with great torpor of the liver; the patients complain of
headache, foul taste, a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in the bowels.
In cases of constipation it has been successfully used both in the
lower attenuations as well as in several drop-doses of the tincture.
HYDROCOTYLE ASIATICA.
This plant has been used with great success in lepra. Dr. Boileau, residing in the Mauritius, employed this remedy in fifty-seven
cases of lepra, in all of which the disease was arrested in a very
short time. Experiments have been instituted by several other
physicians at the Mauritius and in the Paris hospitals, with very
favorable results. It promises to become a very efficacious remedy
for skin-diseases, more especially elephantiasis. If administered in
doses of four drachms, the drug causes vertigo, disturbed vision,
heat in the face, perspiration on the parts affected with lepra.
After the perspiration ceases the disease makes no further progress.
From large doses patients experience a weight at the stomach and
colic. Devergie found the Hydrocotyle of surprising use in five
1256




IRIS VERSICOLOR.


57


cases of the most inveterate eczema; four of which were completely and rapidly cured.
IRIS VERSICOLOR.
(Blue Flag.)
COMPARE WITH-Antimonium-tartaricum, Arsenicum, Ipecacuanha. Mercuriusvivus, Pulsatilla, Podophyllum, Veratrum-album.
We prepare a tincture from the fresh root, and likewise use the
alkaloid Irisin.
Drs. W. A. Burt and J. G. Rowland have furnished some highly
instructive provings of this drug. These provings have led to the
successful employment of Iris in several interesting and important
affections of the scalp and gastro-intestinal range, and have enabled
us to account for the great success with which Dr. Kitchen, of
Philadelphia, has used the blue flag empirically in a variety of disorders, before any provings had been instituted. It has been used
with success in tinea capitis favosa, where, besides using the medicine internally, we likewise apply it externally to the affected
part, in the form of an ointment. In crusta lactea it may prove a
useful agent, but in dry scald-head we have not yet derived any
curative results from it.
Dr. Kitchen recommends it highly in sick headache, attended
with retching and vomiting; likewise in neuralgia of the head and
eyes, when accompanied with vonfiting and retching. In the case
which he published in the NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HOMOaoPATHY, in 1851, the attack was attended with vomiting of sweetish
mucus, and with much straining, when the mucus would occasionally contain a trace of bile.
According to our provings, Iris acts very powerfully as a sialogogue, loosening the teeth. Dr. Burt says that the root caused an
intense burning in his mouth. This sort of salivation is sometimes
the result of severe rheumatic exposure, and may, therefore, yield
to Iris. This drug may likewise have power to counteract mercurial salivation; whether it will prove as specifically homceopathic
to this disorder as Iodine, will have to be verified by further trials
with this drug. We have never had a chance to employ Iris in
syphilis, for which it is so highly recommended by eclectics; we
have no idea that any drug can successfully compete in this terrible plague with the mercurial preparations and the Bichromate of
Potash.

It is in the gastro-intestinal range that the effects of Iris are
most prominent. It causes severe distress in the epigastrium, I
burning distress, which Dr. Burt locates in the pancreas, and a
most terrible and persistent watery diarrhoea, which gradually
changes to discharges of mucus, with tenesmus, tenderness of
the bowels and flying pains through the bowels. The prover
likewise complained of great debility, painfulness of the calves
when walking, acidity of the stomach.
There are few provings that we have perused with more, or even
as much pleasure as these provings by Drs. Burt and Rowland.
Dr. Rowland's symptom, " pains, tensive and sticking, in right
shoulder, during motion, particularly on raising the arm," (which
symptom set in soon after commencing the provings, and continued
six weeks after discontinuing the medicine,) shows that Iris exerts
a powerful and specific action over the functions of the livpr. The
other highly important symptom, "tensive, momentary and constantly recurring pains in all the joints, but mostly the smaller,
which shift rapidly about, mostly in the evening, from supper to
bed-time," constitutes another specific indication of the direction
in which the blue flag will manifest its curative effects. Guided
by these provings we have prescribed it with satisfactory success
in
Bilious derangements of the stomach, or gastrodynia, gastralgia; acute, or periodical attacks of chronic dyspepsia, characterized by acute, cutting or crampy pains in the pit of the stomach,
burning distress, acidity of the stomach, vomiting of food and
mucus; and, as a consensual symptom, severe headache in the
temples, sudden shocks of pain.
In cholera morbus, with severe vomiting of bile, mucus and
water; watery stools, with tenesmus, or running off as if the bowels
were paralized; sensitiveness of the abdominal walls to contact;
burning in the epigastrium, pains through the bowels, weariness
of the calves, prostration. We have cured hundreds of cases of
cholera morbus with Aconite, more especially when the patient
complained of excruciating, burning and spasmodic pains in the
bowels; and we advise practitioners, while using Iris, not to overlook the indefeasible rights of Aconite, and perhaps Arsenicum
and Veratrum-album in this affection. We are of opinion that our
books speak too enthusiastically and too generally of the great
effects of Iris in cholera morbus. We have seen it tried in epidemic cholera, but do not venture to recommend it very urgently as
a remedy for this scourge. In sporadic cholera, depending upon a
1258




KOUSSO. LEPTANDRIA VIRGINICA.


59


prevailing bilious and rheumatic type of disease, we should expect
to derive great benefit from this agent. In cholera infantum we
have given it with adequate success, in cases where th e symptome
corresponded with the gastro-intestinal disturbances occasioned by
the drug. In all these affections we are free to say that we have
never employed the dilution, but have always given the remedy in
massive doses, say from five to ten drops of Dr. Lodge's tincture,
in half a tumbler of water. In cholera-infantum Iris may prove
our chief remedy. It is true we can point to an almost endless
number of cases that yielded promptly and permanently to Aconite, Mercurius, Arsenicum, and other drugs; but then again we
can point to many cases that succumbed under our treatment, or
where the treatment was very much protracted, and where, if we
had been better acquainted with the remedial virtues of Iris in this
disease, the results might have been far different.
KOUSSO.
(Brayera Anthelmintica,)
This powder is recommended as a remedy for tape-worm. See.British Journal, Vol. II., page 340, NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL
OF HlOMIOPn THiY, Vol. I., pages 116 and 134, and Hempel's.Materia
Medica.
LACHNANTHES TINCTORIA.
(Spirit-weed.)
We have a few pretended provings of this drug by Dr. Lippe,
which we consider not only unreliable but utterly worthless. It is
supposed to have done some good in a case of typhoid pneumonia.
LEPTANDRIA VIRGINICA.
(Black Root.)
COMQPAr WITH-Arsenicum, Baptisia, Iris-versicolor, Mercurius, Podophyllum.
We prepare a tincture of the fresh root, triturations of the dry
root, and we likewise use the Leptandrin and its triturations.
Dr. Burt has furnished some most valuable provings of this drug
which have led homeopathic physicians to use it in several disor,
ders of the Lepatic and gastro-intestinal systems.
1259




NEW REMEDIES.


Considering the symptoms which Dr. Burt has obtained, in their
complex, Leptandria seems to act as a great and specific disturber
of the functions of the liver. From this fountain-head of morbid
action most, and perhaps all, the other symptoms elicited by our
provings seem to emanate, as so many dependent or consensual
abnormal sensations and fundamental derangements.
In liver-complaint, characterized by sharp, cutting pains in the
epigastrium, a burning distress in the region of the liver and chilly
creepings down the spine, attended with black discharges from the
bowels, which are followed by great distress in the liver, the
toxical action of Aconite develops an analogous group of symptoms, and competes with Leptandria in this respect. In dyspeptic
conditions of the stomach, or in gastralgia, characterized by similar symptoms, sharp, cutting pains, burning distress, jaundiced
complexion, constipation, reasonably small doses of Leptandrin
have acted very beneficially.
In umbilical colic Leptandria competes with Aconite and Dioscorea, except that in the case of the two last-mentioned agents,
the pain is spasmodic, whereas, in the case of Leptandria, the pain
is described by Dr. Burt as a "constant, dull, aching distress in
the umbilical region, with occasional sharp, cutting pains in the
same region."
In both the acute and chronic forms of bilious diarrhcea Leptandria has rendered great service. The discharges are sometimes
preceded and very generally followed by sharp, cutting pains in
the bowels, are of a watery or tarry consistence, black, fetid, some.
times mixed with mucus, and often so urgent that they cannot be
retained. In chronic diarrhcea, or in the camp-diarrhoea of our
soldiers, the Leptandria has been given with excellent effect. We
have used this drug very satisfactorily to ourselves in attacks of
bilious diarrhoea. We have likewise used the fluid extract, prepared of both the root and leaves of Aconite, with remarkable
success. Happening to be acquainted with leading officers and
quarter-masters in Sherman's army, whom we had treated before
the war, we had frequent demands addressed to us of sending
medicine for chronic diarrhoea to the army, and we have been informed that the fluid-extract of Aconite proved one of the best
agents in arresting the diarrhoea. The toxical effects of this agent
and the splendid provings which we possess of it, satisfactorily
account for the curative virtues of this drug in acute and chronic
bilious diarrhoea.
In dysentery, where the best medical treatment will sometimes

prove unable to prevent a fatal termination, Leptandria has been
administered with the best results. In inflammatory dysentery it
seems only indicated when the discharges assume a muco-purulent
character, and tenesmus and the severe cutting pains still continue.
LEVISTICUM.
(Ligusticum, Lovage.)
Dr. Reil mentions this drug as a renal remedy in post-scarlatinal
dropsy. We refer the reader to the second volume of the NonTH
AMERICAN JOURNAL, page 186.
LYCOPUS VIRGINICA.
(Bugle-root.)
An account of this plant is to be found in the fourth volume of
the NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HOMCEOPATHY, Vol. IV., page
114, and in Hale's New Remedies. It has been successfully used
in haemoptysis and incipient phthisis. We use a tincture of the
whole plant, also infusions of the recent plant.
MEL.
(Honey.)
In the sixth volume of the NORTH AMERICAN JOURAL OF HOMFEOPATHY, page 521, we find a recommendation of honey in strictures
of the urethra. An inveterate case of stricture was palliated by
means of equal parts of honey and sugar, with which the patient
sweetened his tea.
MUSANNA.
The Musanna is the bark of a tree which grows near the Red
Sea, in the neighborhood of Musawwa. The dose is about two
ounces, carefully pulverized, and administered in honey or gruel,
two or three hours before a meal, and the tania is expelled the
next day without purging or colic. The cure is sometimes deferred to the second or third day.
The celebrated traveler, d'Abbadie, sent several doses of the

NEW REMEDIES.


MIusanna to Dr. Pruner-Bey, a practitioner in Cairo, who reports
eighteen cases cured by it. A distinguished member of the French
diplomatic corps, who had vainly tried Kousso and all the usual
remedies for taenia, reports himself radically cured by a single
dose.
The Musanna has this advantage over Kousso, that the latter is
a drastic purgative, creating great nausea, and which requires to
be repeated every two months, and then never effects a radical
cure. " I have seen its use," says d'Abbadie, " produce dysenteries always obstinate and sometimes mortal."-See Amer. Journal
of Homcopathy, Vol. II., page 219.
MYRICA     CERIFERA.
(Bay-berry.)
This drug is said to have cured jaundice and to allay false laborpains. As yet its use has been confined to botanic and eclectic
physicians.-See North American Journal of Homaeopathy, Vol.
VI., page 552, and Hale's New Remedies.
NAPHTHA       MEDICINALIS.
This agent has been highly recommended as a specific remedy
for tuberculous consumption. It does not cure consumption, but it
relieves the cough and vomiting which so frequently distress consumptive patients in the more advanced stages of the disease. It
may be taken into the stomach and likewise by means of an inhaler.
NAJA    TRIPUDIANS.
(Cobra.)
COMPARE WITH: Lachesis, Crotalus and the serpent-poisons generally.
"We use triturations and an alcoholic solution of the poison.
This poison has been introduced as a homoeopathic medicine by
Dr. Russell of England. It seems to act primarily upon the nerves;
the cobra-bite destroys the process of innervation. In the keeper,
killed at Zoological Gardens in London, death ensued from suspended respiration; the air-passages were filled with a frothy
mucus. Among the symptoms elicited by the provers of Naja,
some of the chief symptoms are: dryness of the mouth and throat,
1262




NUPHAR LYTHEA. ORIGANUM YULGARX.


63


spasmodic catching of the larynx, irritable cough. Five of the
provers suffered severely from continuous headache in the temples
and forehead, accompanied with great depression of spirits. Dr.
Hughes offers the following statement regarding the therapeutic
powers of this agent: "My own experience fully concurs with that
of Dr. Russell as to the value of Naja as a remedy. I have frequently cured with it the kind of headache above described, especially when associated with spinal pain and palpitation of the
heart. Mr. Gillow gives a good case in the British Journal,' Vol.
XII., page 214, and suggests it for the gloomy headache which
results from disorder of several functions in males. In the same
place you will find a case by Dr. Russell, showing how rapidly
Naja can act in acute pharyngo-laryngeal inflammations. He has
recently pointed out a dark-red color of the fauces as especially
indicating this medicine. Dr. Bradshaw commends it highly in
the cough of phthisis, and in incipient phthisis laryngea. Dr.
Russell speaks well of it in that mysterious disorder called " spinal
irritation."  But the main sphere of Naja lies in diseases of the
heart. To quiet chronic nervous palpitation, to aid in the restoration of a heart recently damaged by inflammation, and to assuage
the sufferings of chronic hypertrophy and valvular disease, it was
ranked by Dr. Russell as the chief remedy, and I think I can confirm his estimate. I have always used the second dilution, and
should feel disposed to go lower rather than higher in the scale."
NUPHAR LUTHEA.
(Small-flowered Yellow Pond Lily.)
Dr. Pitet's proving of this drug may be found translated in the
third volume of the NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAoL OF I-IHOEOmPATHY,
page 25. It has been successfully used as a remedy for morningdiarrhoea and atonic spermatorrhoea. Its action is analogous to that
of Agnus-castus and Rumex-crispus. For its use in spermatorrholea
we refer to the British Journal of HTomoeopathy, Vol. XVI., page
329.
ORIGANUM VULGARE.
(Sweet Marjoram.)
This agent has been recommended to the Gallican Society of
Paris, by a correspondent at Nice, as a remedy in mental alienation and salacity.

PAREIRA BRAVA.
This drug is analogous in its action to Uva-ursi, Chimaphila,
Berchu. It has been satisfactorily used in strangury, with constant
urging, acute pain in the glans penis; urine contains a quantity of
thick, tough mucus.
PERMANGANATE OF POTASSA.
Professor Allen of the Cleveland Homoeopathic College has
enriched our Materia Medica with a splendid proving of this salt,
a record of which may be found in the August number of the third
volume of the American Homceopathic Observer. This heroic
proving has suggested to its author the following deductions and
clinical observations: "The Permanganate acts powerfully and at
once; and like some other powerfully acting drugs, particularly
Camphor, its action is very transient, hence it will bear a frequent
repetition. Its sphere of action, or range, differs widely from
Arsenic, affecting comparatively but a few organs, but on these it
acts promptly, and appears to expend all its force in a short time,
unless repeated. In my opinion the Permanganate of Potash is
destined to fill a vacancy in our Materia Medica, in the treatment
of diphtheria, long felt by the profession. It appears to be best
adapted to that malignant type of diphtheria, with extensive swelling of the throat and cervical glands; pseudo-membranous deposit, partially or completely covering the entire fauces; prdfuse
salivation; deglutition difficult or altogether obstructed; a thin,
sometimes sanious muco-purulent discharge from the nares, excoriating the parts with which it comes in contact; speech thick
and obstructed, and breath very offensive. In fact, the more
offensive the breath, the more promptly its action appears to be
manifested. There is no remedy in our Materia Medica, with
which I am acquainted, that will so rapidly and surely remove the
offensive odor of the diphtheritic breath as the Permanganate.
The Chlorate of Potassa approaches its action in this respect more
nearly than any other remedy."
The efficacy of this drug in diphtheria has been commended by
more than one physician; others, on the contrary, have denied it.
We do not consider it a panacea for diphtheria, but we have every
reason to regard it as a valuable addition to our stock of remedies
against this fearful plague. The anti-septic properties of this
agent are well-known. It is extensively used in hospital practice
as a deodorizer, as a disinfectant application to badly-smelling

PLANTAGO MAJOR.
(Wild Plantain.)
An infusion of this plant is said to have been used with success
in fever and ague. The plantan-salve has admirable healing powers
when applied to ulcerating wounds.
PULMO     VULPIS.
(Fox-lung.)
This article is recommended and has been successfully used by
Grauvogl for asthmatic weakness of the lungs, especially for the
asthma humidum of old people.
QUASSIA     EXCELSIA.
(Gall Tree.)
We have no reliable provings of this drug. Pereira states that,
according to Kurtz, a dog, affected with the mange, had his hind
legs completely paralyzed in consequence of the sores being washed
with a decoction of Quassia; in seven hours it disappeared. Pereira
says that, " some have noticed effects which seem to favor the notion that Quassia possesses a specific influence over the cerebrospinal system."  " In females, endowed with extreme susceptibility,
I have seen," says Barbier, "involuntary movements of the arms
and legs, produced by the aqueous infusion of Quassia."  Kraus
says, that "the continued use of Quassia brings on amblyopia;"
and Kurtz asserts, that "the long-continued use of Quassia has
brought on amaurosis."
RICINUS     COMMUNIS.
(Castor-oil.)
This oil is obtained from the seeds of the Castor-oil plant. This
plant is said to accelerate and increase the flow of milk from the
breasts of child-bearing women in cases where that secretion is
tardy in appearing, or deficient in quantity when it does appear.
1265




66


NEW REEDIES.


It is used for such a purpose by the inhabitants of the Cape de
Verd Islands. Since then, experiments with the cultivated plant
have shown that it is endowed with similar virtues. In some cases
the appearance of the milk is superseded by a catamenial discharge.
Castor-oil excites purging by virtue of its specific action upon
the bowels. Castor-oil seeds are very acrid. A single seed has
caused violent vomiting and purging. Twenty seeds have caused
death by exciting gastro-enteritis.
Castor-oil is sometimes resorted to as a palliative to move the
bowels. Hahnemann himself indulged in this practice occasionally.
(See British Journal, Vol. XII., page 349,) where this fact may
be found stated
RUMEX CRISPUS.
(Dry Dock.)
We prepare a tincture from the root.
We have a proving of Rumex by the late Dr. Joslin. Dr.
Richard Hughes, in his Manual of Pharmaco-dynamics, sums up the
curative range of this drug in the following concise statement.
SRumex has an influence on the skin and alimentary mucous meem
brane, causing in the former an itching which is increased by exposure to cool air, and relieved by warmth (herein contrasting
with that of Sulphur), and in the latter a sense of weight at the
stomach, and a morning diarrhoea. Its main action, however, is
exerted upon the respiratory mucous membrane, and especially
that of the larynx; where it diminishes secretion while exalting
sensibility. Hence changes in voice and a dry titillating cough.
The action hardly goes on to inflammation.
Rumex has cured some cases of gastric and intestinal derangement characterized as above, especially morning diarrhcea. The
chief use of Rumex is in laryngo-tracheal cough. The symptoms
are those of catarrh, with excessive irritability of the laryngotracheal mucous membrane, causing a violent, incessant and fatiguing
cough, with Rlttle expectoration. Pressure, talking, and especially
inspiration of cool air, cause aggravation. There is often a sense
of excoriation behind the sternum. I have several times prescribed
Rumex in this kind of cough, but quite as often with entire failure
though it seemed thoroughly indicated. When it cures it does so
with almost magical rapidity. The analogues of Rumex are stated
by Dr. Carroll Dunham to be Lachesis, Belladonna, Causticum and
Phosphorus. His sketch of the laryngeal symptoms of the five

medicines respectively is a model of delicate application and discriminative comparison. I would add to his four analogues a fifth,
Spongia."
Our own experiments with Rumex, and the answers to numerous
inquiries which we have made among a number of Western physicians concerning the curative virtues of dry dock in the kind of
cough to which it is supposed to be specifically homoeopathic, lead
us to believe that these virtues have not only been very much
over-rated, but are exceedingly hypothetical, at least in our section
of the country.
SARRACENIA PURPUREA.
(Huntsman's Cap.)
We use a tincture and cold infusion of this plant. This drug
was recommended some years ago with a great flourish of trumpets as a remedy for small-pox; its claims have not been substantiated by clinical experience.
SCUTELLARIA        LATERIFOLIA.
(Scullcap, Blue Scullcap.)
Maltson reports, in his American Vegetable Practice, that this
plant cured a merchant in Boston, subject to great nervous excitement and severe tremor, so that he could not hold a pen to write;
he made a tea of the plant and drank about a pint every night.
It has been found serviceable in many forms of nervous derangement, abnormal nervous excitability-even convulsions.
SENECIO AUREUS.
(Life-root.)
COMPARE wITH-Caulophyllum, Aconite, Digitalis, Helonias, Pulsatilla-nigricans,
Sepia.
We prepare a tincture from the root, and likewise use the alkaloid Senecin and its triturations.
This drug is more particularly known for its influence over the
genito-urinary apparatus; it likewise has manifested curative powers
in some serious pulmonary affections.
In dropsical conditions of the system it has afforded speedy,
relief by increasing and facilitating the urinary secretions. In
dysuria it often removes the urinary distress very speedily.
In retention as well as suppression of the catamenia (menostasia

NEW REMEDIES.


and amenorrhma) Senecio acts very beneficially. In this respect
it competes with Aconite, Digitalis and Caulophyllum. It has
likewise been employed with good effect in dysmenorrhaae and
menorrhagia. The dose varies according as it is given for one or
the other of these conditions. Where Seneeio is indicated we
generally find that such patients complain more or less of uterine
distress, crampy pains and the like.
We have not as yet had an opportunity of testing this drug in
hAmoptysis or phthisis, for which it is recommended by some physicians.
SILPHIUM LACINIATUM
Is recommended by Western physicians as a remedy for asthma.
STICTA    PULMONARIA.
(Lung Wort.)
COMPARE WITH: Aconite, Cimicifuga, Gelseminum, Squills, Sanguinaria
"We prepare a tincture.
This drug has been used with benefit in catarrhal affections of
the nose and likewise in affections of the lungs. The symptoms
for which the drug has been prescribed are: dry or fluent coryza
violent and incessant sneezing, pain in the forehead, sensation of
fullness in the forehead, dryness of the air-passages, cough with
expectoration of mucus and blood.
Sticta has likewise cured subacute rheumatism  of the joints,
tarsal and carpal, metatarsal and metacarpal joints, &c. In milder catarrhal affections, such as headache, ear-ache, bronchial catarrh, its action has proved highly beneficial in some cases.
STILLINGIA      SYLVATICA.
(Queen's Root.)
COMPARE WITH: Cubebs, Copaiva, Iodide of Potassium, Mercurius, Sanguinaria, Spongia.
We use a tincture prepared from the fresh root. We likewise
make a decoction of the root, and obtain from it a resinoid Stillingin. An oil of Stillingia is likewise sold in the shops.
We have a short but very suggestive proving of this drug by
Dr. A. B. Nichols, from which we learn that this drug exerts a
specific action upon the urethra, and likewise causes a very marked
irritation of the throat, tickling of the fauces with oppression and
darting pains through the chest, cough which was at times very

severe, and such catarrhal symptoms as frontal headache, soreness
of the larynx, colicky pains. These effects of the drug show that
if physicians of other schools have employed this drug in gonorrhoea, and have cured this disease with it, the probability is, that
these cures were effected by virtue of the homoeopathicity of the
drug-action to the natural malady.
This drug has likewise been used with apparent advantage in
scrofulous affections of the bones. Professor Hale, in his New Remedies, mentions a case of cure of enlargement of the tibia, and
enlargements in various other parts of the body resembling nodes,
upon the olecranon process, upon the head, and one in particular
upon the forehead, of the size of an egg. The patient was a little
girl. An infusion of Stillingia root was used, four drachms of the
fresh root to one pound of water, simmered till one-third was dissipated. This quantity was drunk in the twenty-four hours in such
doses as not to nauseate the stomach in any degree. After having
continued the medicine for several months she was so much improved as to be able to move about with the aid of a stick, have
the free use of her limbs, and the swellings, particularly those on
the forehead, considerably reduced.
It seems all but certain that this case was not a case of unmixed
scrofula; most likely the scrofulous and syphilitic taints were mixed
up together in this case. The Iodide of Mercury and the Hydriodate of Potash ought to have rendered good service in this case.
Our provings likewise show that in catarrhal irritation of the
eyes, and of the laryngo-tracheal mucous membrane, with soreness,
cough, oppression, &c., this drug will act beneficially.
TAMARACK.
The gum of Tamarack has been found effectual in dropsy, especially that of pregnant females. Dr. Chamberlain hasttreated with it
four cases successfully. We give it in teaspoonful doses. He has
also found a decoction of the leaves useful. It usually relieves in
three or four days by causing profuse urination.
THLASPI BURSA         PASTORIS.
(Shepherd's Purse.)
This drug has been used in metrorrhagia, for which see British
Journal of Homoeopathy, Vol. III., page 63. It is also recommended for renal affections in the second volume of the NORTH
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HOMcEOPATHY, page 185.

NEW REMEDIES.


TRILLIUM PENDULUM.
(Birth Root.)
COMPARE WITH: Caulophyllum, Sabina, Secale-cornutum, Cinnamum, Terebinthina.
We use a tincture and infusion of the root; likewise the alkaloid
Trillin and its triturations.
In our own practice we have made use of this drug in the various
forms of uterine hcemorrhage for which this drug has beer recommended empirically, more particularly in menorrhagia, in metrorrhagia after miscarriage or parturition, excessive lochial discharges, &c. We have used both the tincture and an infusion. We
believe that fractional doses of the drug have likewise answered
the purpose.
ULMUS FULVA.
(Slippery Elm.)
An infusion of the bark is used as a demulcent in cases of strangury, irritable bladder, and likewise diarrhoea. The bark is likewise used as a poultice to promote suppuration or to diminish the
'burning distress of local inflammation.
VACCINUM.
This agent is said to have been used with benefit in small-pox;
Sulphur is given afterwards.
VARIOLINUM.
This isopathic remedy is said to shorten the course of the disease and moderate all its dangerous and annoying symptoms.
VERATRUM VIRIDE.
(American Hellebore).
In large doses this agent produces very speedily a considerable
fall in the pulse, even down to forty and ten beats. It causes vomiting, cold and clammy skin, vertigo, loss of consciousness, convulsions. Its action is very analagous to that of the Aconitum-napellus; its depressing influence over the pulse seems to be more
marked than in the case of Aconite, but the subsequent reaction
is less violent.

"VERATRUM VIRIDE.

We have some splendid provings of this drug by Dr. Burt, of
Illinois, for which we refer the reader to.Hale's New _Remedies,
page 1033. In its general action upon the organism, this drug is
analogous to Aconitum-napellus, Digitalis, Gelseminum, Lobeliainflata, Tartar-emetic. It has been extensively used in eclectic
and allopathic practice, and more recently the homoeopathic profession have begun to appreciate the remarkable curative powers
of this agent in a variety of diseases, more particularly in:
Convulsions and chorea; some of the most dreadful cases of
nervous derangements, and of puerperal convulsions, have yielded
promptly to tolerably large doses of the tincture of Veratrumviride.
In cerebro-spinal meningitis, this drug may be usefully associated
with Aconite, Belladonna, Gelseminum and Cimicifuga-racemosa.
In the various forms of fever, simple remittent, bilious, infantile
remittent, exanthematic and even typhoid and yellow fever, it is
highly praised by physicians of every school. On account of its
powerfully depressing influence over the pulse, it should be prescribed in moderately small doses, not in the heroic doses which
eclectic and allopathic physicians are in the habit of resorting to.
Five drops of the tincture in six or eight ordinary tablespoonfuls
of water, in desertspoonful doses, more or less frequently repeated,
according to circumstances, will be borne even by children.
In congestive chills we give this drug with great relief to the
patient, during the congestive stage of the fever.
In acute rheumatism   and erysipelas, the Veratrum-viride has
been used with good effect. It depresses the pulse, lowers the
temperament and excites a salutary perspiration. A lotion of the
drug may be applied externally to the inflamed and swollen parts.
In congestive headache and simple hypercemia of the brain, this
agent deserves favorable mention by the side of Aconite and Belladonna. Even in the first stages of true meningitis it may be
given with great propriety in alternation with Belladonna. The
Veratrum may be given in the lower dilutions or even in the form
of tincture; Belladonna second or third dilution.
The remarkable action of Veratrum-viride upon the stomach
justifies its use in cardialgia with vomiting, retching and excessive irritability of the stomach.
According to the testimony of physicians, Veratrum-viride has
been used with success in various affections of the sexual organs
of both males and females. It has reduced the inflammation in
orchitis and metritis, has been advantageously employed in the

dysmenorrhcea of plethoric individuals, has subdued hysterical and
purerperal convulsions and puerperal mania. Professor Simpson
recommends this drug in puerperalfever.
Keith offers the following sensible remarks on the subject of
Veratrum-viride: " It is used in pneumonia, rheumatism, pleurisy,
typhoid, bilious and intermittent fevers, and in most cases where
there is high febrile and inflammatory action. In the treatment
of dysentery it is a superior auxiliary, given every:three or four
hours, following it in one or two hours with one or two grains o
the Geranin. There are but few remedies by which the heart'
action can be so readily and surely controlled as with the Veratrum, which renders it a valuable remedy in palpitation, and where
there is high arterial excitement. It may also be used in neuralgia."
In palpitation of the heart from anaemia, small doses of Veratrum-viride will prove beneficial.
In pleurisy, we think Veratrum-viride is much less efficient than
Aconite and Bryonia; but in the first or congestive stage of pneumonia, we fully agree with a number of other practitioners, that
this agent is at least the equal of, if not the superior, of Aconite.
Under the influence of Veratrum-viride, if administered in suitable
doses, the pulse very soon diminishes in frequency, the capillaries
are freed from their engorgement and a moderate perspiration
breaks out, with great relief to the patient.
XANTHOXYLUM FRAXINEUM.
(Prickly Ash.
We have a good proving of this drug in H.ale's New Remedies,
by Dr. Cullis. Among the provers were three women. In one
of them the drug caused the appearance of the menses a week
before their time; and, in another, "the menses came on profusely,
with dreadful distress and pain, baffling description." According
to Dr. Hale, this drug is especially suitable to women of pure
habit, nervous temperament, and delicate organization. It. has
been used with success in dysmenorrhoea and after-pains.

ZIZIA AUREA.
(Golden Alexander, Musk-quash Root.)
We have a proving of this drug by Dr. Marcy, in N  A. Journal,
Vol. IV., page 52. It is recommended by Dr. Gray in epilepsy
and puerperal convulsions, for which see Journal, VII., page 116.
