DR. H. GROSS' COMPARATIVE MATERIA MEDICA. EDITED BY CONSTANTINE HERING. - for on your choice depend both safety and health. - SHAKESPEARE. PHIIIADELPHIA: F. LE. B CERICKE. NEW YORK: WILLIAM RADDE. LONDON: 1-I. TURNER & CO. 18G 67. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1866, by F. E. B(ERICKE, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Ki(G & BAIRD, Printers, 607 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, Pa. INITRODUCTION. BY R. H. GROSS. In comparison to that which is not known, the knowledge of all physicians in this world is certainly small. But we should never be able to enlarge upon the existing basis, did we deny, as do the skeptics upon principle, the general certainty of cognition in medical science, or, to speak practically, the reliability of experience in the medical art.* True, there are many trifles connected with the demeanor of the physician, either winning or destroying confidence. without the observance of which even the most distinguished experience and ability cannot captivate the public. Such a boon is usually somewhat dependent upon innate individuality, though sometimes acquired or developed. It would be unjust to denounce bluntly the use of these outward expedients by the cheap name of "charlatanry;" they deserve this designation only when not based upon a solid, scientific foundation,- a foundation which, however, cannot be present, or at least not apparent, where skepticism is raised to a dogma; or, where no connection has yet been found between theory and practice. But to return: in accordance with his experience, every physician cnres as best he is able. In this respect we are in favor of the widest toleration, claiming the same for ourselves. No one is justified in marking out purely arbitrary paths in science, because these are mutnaslly opposed as much as are anarchy and rational liberty. Ilohenheim's doctrine did not become the common property of all physicians, because it was enveloped by a mysterious obscurity.t j Homceopathy has no such fate to fear since she has a widely diffused "Press" as an ally.-Great, but not insurmountable, are the difficulties which, until now, have prevented her universal recognition and practical application. In so far as these difficulties lie in the Materia Medica, which, indeed, to the novice appears a chaos, I hope to remove them in a great measure by the present work. Our treasury of remedies has grown so much, both extensively and intensibly, that the publication of further provings of new remedies seems only exceptionally desirable. * Every practitioner who derives his support from the patronage of the publ'c will admit that this "Experience " is his greatest ally and at the same time his best passport to confidence on the part of society. M. t Hohenheim-more generally known and slandered under the name Paracelsus-did not do this himself; it was done by his followers and the editors of his writings. With them it was a kind of fashion to puff up everything by surrounding it with clouds of mysteriousness. Exactly as in our age crinolines are worn, disgusting to every man of the slightest cultivation of taste. C.Hg. + Often, in past ages, has medical truth, departing from the paths marked out by the dogmatism of the schools after briefly glimmering before the vision of those who refused to seize upon it, vanished into oblivion. M. III III IV INTRODUCTION. On the other hand, the proving of (old) remedies on ourselves is indispensable to selfinstruction.- But we would have to confine ourselves to the treatment of only some particularly acute diseases, in order to be able to move within the small circle of* our own personal proving. I mean, that it is impossible to have proved on ourselves all the remedies at our disposal for the treatment of chronic diseases. It is therefore necessary to find and smooth a path which, without being arbitrary, shall be correct, and by which we may discover and appropriate, without much difficulty, the results of the hitherto known provings. I believe I have taken this path by exhibiting the DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Of such remedies as are similar in their effects. Fichte (the father) has already observed, that every honest work leads the author beyond his original purpose. When I undertook this work, I had no idea of the wide reach of its results, because it has incidentally yielded the following: A. The characteristic effects of such remediVs as are herein compared; what is wanting in one diagnosis is found in others. The differential points delineate the character of the effects of the medicine as distinctly as microscopic objects appear under polarized light. This predominating character of the remedy must be useful even to the generalizing physician, for whom, in fact, this book has not been written; and who, since he will never fully make use of it by earnest study, is therefore also not competent to judge it. B. Irrefragable proof is herein furnished that, in their fullest compass, the collective effects of a remedy agree with each other, under physiological laws, and that they have therefore their own intrinsic physiological explanation, by which at once all theoretical elaborations of single remedies become for the future unnecessary, and again, through which even those who hitherto have been strangers to Homceopathy may convince themselves, without further exertion, of Nature's truth in regard to "physiological" provings of remedies. The most important principle for testing the genuineness of every proving of a remedy is thereby also produced. Further, this work will help to preserve for all time the results of the labors of the first half century of Homceopathy, as well as give new life to the study of remedies, inasmuch as thus far very little has been done to enable the medical profession to find its way through our Materia Medica, and thereby to liberate itself from indolent Scepticism and to make use of our treasure of remedies by individualizing in practice. That of which " Non-Homceopaths " have accused us as triviality, they will find herein in a desirable lapidary style. In fact, it is also a sort of generalization, but one which does not extinguish the effective character of the object; for one can easily conceive that every agent is distinguished from another by definite traits. All physicians taki more or less notice of a relation of medical effects; particularly so the friends of Doctor Rademacher (the founder of a peculiar medical school in 1845), as well as the followers of the so-called "specific" healing art; - but the discovery of modalities, of conditions under which an agent discloses its specific powers, is thus far exclusively the merit of the homoeopathicians.t Whosoever maintains that these mo* It is certain that one succeeds better with a few well-known remedies than with many whereof he knows little. But the practitioner who strives to reduce the number of his remedies more and more must necessarily generalize, - whereas, a true follower of individualizing homeopathy, commencing his practice with but a few articles, gradually learns the application of more and more. R.H.Gr. t Homceopathy urges the difference of effects in separate remedies, and knows, therefore, no surrogate. R.H.Gr. INTRODUCTION. v dalities are of trifling moment, proclaims indirectly the whole doctrine of tlahnemann to be charlatanism. To those who work in our field, the diagnosis of remedies, as it is before us, will help to designate more minutely the separate modalities of effects, because one of them frequently conditions the other. (Compare China-Ferr.; Carb. an.-Calc., and others.) Wherever in such respects the new provings differ from the old ones, the cause will be found in the more massive and crude form of the drugs employed in the former; (which, being more subject to alternative phenomena, are therefore less characteristic. M.) Those who reject all repertories and similar works as an obstacle to a collective and unitary comprehension of the features of a disease, natural or artificial, can be refuted by the unitary physiological character which any single remedy shows in such a collection of its separate symptoms. The misunderstood so-called symptomatic treatment of diseases in Homceopathy is thereby once for all justified, because it combats with the total character of the remedy the total featur6es of the disease. The study of this work, which may always be more entertaining than a calculation of logarithms, ought, with equal perseverance, to be gone through with; the more so as it is more satisfactory than that of mere repertories, since in the latter the symptoms of remedies must of necessity be analyzed, whilst here they are synthetically compiled. Our diagnosis must also have the preference to a repertory with beginners, who, although not familiar with it, can nevertheless always find in a moment the matter searched for. To the skeptics I will yet observe that the statements in this book are mostly known to every practised Homceopathician, but not always present to his mind; it would require a prodigious memory; and further, that the doubt about authenticity may be cleared up by the internal evidence of truth, recognizable by every competent judge. These comparisons can be looked upon as the first step towards a mathematical method of elaborating the Materia Medica, which was first suggested by Const. IHering, and which is at the same time a statistical one. The diagnostics of one remedy offer here a supplement and correction to another,* and also show one and the same remedy in different lights. They are based, not upon mere abstractions, new stand-points, and. the like, out upon provings and clinical observations, i. e. upon facts of medicine according to Nature's laws, and are gained by the rules of the art of observation; and it is interesting to follow up the laws of Nature which reflect themselves in these facts. We quote only a few of the most prominent: Sexual passion, often combined with jealousy, is intimately related on the one hand to cruelty, on the other to affected devoutness. In anger and sexual passion the secretion of saliva is increased; in a paroxysm of fear diminished. The remedies in which hunger is predominant, produce an increased salivary secretion, and often a delicate taste (Camph., China, Coffea), while with a diminished saliva the appetite is wanting. In Aconit., Chamom., China, Coff., we find predominantly a delicate sense of smell; and, correspondingly, never dryness of the nose, which would make a delicate smell impossible. Those drugs which cause appetite fer beer, as well as those which generally cause scentless fiatus, are at the same time remedies for the liver. The position of those sleeping with the arms crossed over the head usually indicates' In such a work it can hardly be otherwise than that some errata shall remain unnoticed. R.H.Gr. VI INTRODUCTION. liver complaint, and our remedies, the symptoms of which have been observed as containing such a position, have in fact a decided relation to the liver. The condition " compression of teeth " is identical with that of pressure in general, as well as with the lying on the painful side. Such analogies are everywhere illustrated. Thus, there is an analogy between the influence of stooping, retention of breath, expiration, retraction of abdomen, tension of abdomical muscles, of tightness of clothing around the hips, as well as bodily exertion. While standing, the body is not completely at rest, but offers quite the same passive resistance as while riding in a carriage, particularly if on rough roads; —therefore, the analogous influence of both conditions. Wine is usually analogous to the effects of warm diet; vinegar and vegetable acids to cold diet. Those remedies the complaints of which are ameliorated by eructations have m1ostly also amelioration when the stomach is empty. If the thirsty drink little at a time, there is either an instinctive repugnance to fluids, or the thirsty one has already experienced that drink is hurtful to him. I)ryness of the tongue indicates an affection of the brain; this we find confirmed by those of our provings in which dryness of tongue predominantly occurs. Under Arsenic is found an inclination for the use of alcoholic drinks and aversion to sweets, and correspondingly also an irritable, malicious temper; —on the other hand there is, under Rhus, inclination for sweets and aversion to alcoholic drinks, and correspondingly a depressed mood. We find under China, Lachesis, Acid. fluor. and Acid. sulphuric. appetite for spirituous liquors, and corresponldingly mental excitement, ecstasies, &c.; under Mercury and Sabadilla (aversion to wine, but) appetite for beer, which produces sluggishness of thought, and, corresponding with it, stupidity. (Compare the different influences of wine and beer under the head of Camph., Apis.) Mental excitement (ecstasy) is usually combined with insensibility of disposition, while a sensitive disposition is not unfrequently combined with a depression of intellect.* In imbecile persons (as well as in children whose faculties are not yet roused) the pupils are mostly dilated (and often the urine pale); in insanity they are contracted. In mania-a-potu we find certain optical illusions, while mental disturbances produced by venereal excesses are connected with hallucinations of hearing and smell. These relations are a true copy of the corresponding remedies in our medical treasury; particularly is there an augmented sexual desire wherever hallucinations of smell have been observed. It is evident that by the sense of smell (fragrancy) sexual desires are excited; and it is known that even the development of scent in the blossoms accompanies the sexual process of plants-that the development of the vocal organs is coincident with pubertyand that the free singing-bird suspends its song as soon as the sexual desire has been gratified. In clear-sightedness the pupils are predominantly dilated and the optical illusions appear in bright colors; in dim-sightedness in dark colors. The remedies which have a specific direction to the hard palate act at the same time on the inner nose and inner ear (second branch of the Nerv. trigem.); on the other hand, * Analogously, we frequently find, during predominating polar currents of air, a diminished irritability of the nervous system and a vascular erethism (Mexico, Hungary), while during an equatorial direction of winds there is nervous erethism with synchronous torpor of the vascular system. R.H.Gr. INTRODUCTION. VI those remedies which act principally on the soft palate generally affect at the same time the external ear and external nose (connection of the Nerv. facial. with the Nerv. lingual.) Persons inclined to constipation are usually of an irritable and vexatious disposition; and those who have a strong inclination to diarrhcea are commonly anxious and sad. Such medicines as produce (and cure) painless diarrhcea are also remedies for internal haemorrhages. Remedies which augment the secretion of urine also usually increase thirst, reduce sexual desire, produce a depressed disposition of mind (and often weak-mindedness), while with increased sexual desire there is generally combined a diminished urinary secretion, and mostly also disposition to constipation. Ant. cr., Apis, Aur., Camph., Canth., Carb. veg., China, Colch., Con., Dig., Dule., Iod., Mez., N. vom., Op., Plumb., Puls., Ruta, Staph., &c. Women menstruating abundantly have usually strong sexual desires, and vice versa. Leucorrhcea, in women who menstruate profusely, is frequently of marked consistency, while it is fluid in such as have their periods rarely with a scanty flow. It is but rarely that we find in our provings a fluent coryza at night, because every fluent coryza is apt to cease during sleep and by the warmth of the bed. In the so-called narcotics, dry coryza predominates over fluent coryza, and dry cough over the moist. Those few narcotics which have coryza more frequently of a fluent nature, and a moist cough, have also oftener diarrhoea than constipation. Prsecordial anguish is often one of the first symptoms of insanity; while an anxious feeling in the head or in the hypochondriac regions is rarely followed by insanity. (Our experience with the remedies corresponds to this observation. C.Hg.) The remedies which create a cold breath are also capable of producing moist respiratory rales, while with a hot breath they are usually dry. If a remedy produces moist respiratory rales it is nearly always also capable of exciting cough with expectoration. If the latter be not the case, then the eough is either wanting, as in cholera (Colch., Cupr.), or else the matter which is loosened by the cough is swallowed (Caust.),-or lastly, the secretion is not raised on account of the half-paralyzed state of the lungs (oedema, emphysema, &c.-Colch., Cupr., Ipec., Op., Antim. tartar.) If a remedy has chill on one side of the body and heat on the other, the chill is always on the side on which the respective remedy is also otherwise predominant; on the other hand, the heat (and mostly also the perspiration) on the opposite side. It appears, therefore, that the chill is more characteristic of the remedy than the heat, which is rather the reaction. Those remedies which, in moderate doses, produce no nausea, have the character of constitutional non-irritability; the same is true of those where itching of the skin is never, or only rarely, changed by scratching. Compare Colch., Helleb., Iod., Ipec., Op., Stramon. Arsenic has the character of constitutional non-irritability, and, with it, predominant complaints in internal parts; we find, therefore, in this remedy the feeling of numbness or insensibility to be in internal or suffering parts; on the other hand, sensibility (to the touch, &c.) almost exclusively on external parts. Such remedies as act specifically on the fore part of the arm (predominantly on flexion) affect mostly also the flexors and adductors of the lower extremities. The muscles of the upper and fore-arm are, as regards gymnastics, in reciprocal relation VIII INTRODUCTION. to each other. By this only we can explain why the proved medicines, which act specifically on the upper arm, leave the fore-arm almost untouched, and vice versa. Whenever a remedy acts predominantly on the interior or posterior side of the thigh, it acts also on the sole of the foot (Nerv. sciatic.); and if it acts predominantly on the exterior and anterior side. of the thigh, it does so also on the dorsum of the foot, (Nerv. crural.) But, as a general rule, the whole course of the nerve is not attacked at one and the same time, nor in One and the same prover, but sometimes one and then again another part of the course and distribution of such nerve. In this respect the contrast of the calf to the shin seems to make an exception, in so far as such remedies as affect the anterior and exterior sides of the thigh and the dorsum of the foot are often also specific for the calf. The explanation of this seeming anomaly is clear in the fact that the anterior plane of the tibia is not covered with muscles and cannot, therefore, contain any large branches of nerves.* From what has been said it is apparent that we can judge of the purity of the provings by the physiological coincidence of their symptoms. If a thoroughly proved medicine contains contradictory symptoms, is has either been proved by different observers with different doses, or one of the two observations is erroneous, and it was no effect of the remedy. Of course we do not speak here of the so-called "alternative symptoms," therefore not of the agreement and disagreement of symptoms contained in one and the same relation of effects, but in regard to the different directions or drift which the effects of medicines take. These diagnoses of remedies may be objected to on the ground that by further provings many of the antitheses may lose force; this may certainly be possible, but it will not occur often, because most of the modalities have already been confirmed by manifold cures. All individualizing physicians, whether they call themselves homceopaths or otherwise, can use these diagnoses to advantage, provided they are acquainted with the range of the symptoms of the remedies referred to.t Without such knowledge they are of course useless; I have therefore no fear that my work will be abused by the ignorant. Undoubtedly, diseases are also cured by physicians who pay no regard to modalities of symptoms, because they find it too inconvenient to individualize. They declare, without having ever applied the high potencies scientifically, such cures attained by the latter as spontaneous, simply because such high dilutions have proved ineffectual in their generalizing applications. Their success is explained by the habitual exhibition of massive doses which frequently force the disease to accept the symptoms of the applied remedy and to change the conditions under which its symptoms appeared before the use of the medicine.-Nature has her peculiar meansof defence against every sort of attack, to wit, reaction; but to heal'-surely, quickly and mildly" cannot be expected with massive doses. It is therefore dangerous to use the reports of cures of such homeopathic physicians, because such cures, frequently followed not according to, but in spite of, the modalities of symptoms of the remedy in question, i. e. they followed antipathically. Even * And the sciatic nerve, in its final distribution, supplies the calf and shin, and also the sole and dorsum of foot. M. t Those who wish to have the most important symptoms of very nearly all the best proved remedies are referred to the Text-Book of Materia Medica by Adolphus Lippe. Published by A. J. Tafel, No. 48 Nort h I Street, Philadelphia. Now completed. C1.Hg.: Still less, what is the most important: pernmanently! never done by massive doses. C.Hg. INTRODUCTION Ix if we consider it from the stand-point of the materialists, the application of massive doses is not contradictory, because the lower dilutions of our remedies are (not always, but generally) too large a dose for a homoeopathic, and too small a dose for an antipathic effect. Medicines which have improved a sickness by traditional doses have not been prescribed accurately according to the law of similars, else they would have made the state of the patient worse instead of better. When the law of Nature, as it has lately been laid down by Grauvogl in harmony with Hahnemann's doctrines, shall have once been universally acknowledged, then the latter can be no more pushed aside as antiquated (although truth never grows old) by those who, out of selfishness, abuse the name of homceopathy by applying it to the extremest eclectic empiricism. It is easy for any one to flatter himself with the assumption that he is a great genius if he rejects, as prejudice and delusion, all such phenomena as, not being plain upon the surface, cannot be immediately taken hold of. A physician of this category, particularly if he considers his practice merely as a lucrative business, fares very well, and it is not necessary for him to oppose the opinion of the masses.The roughly naturalizing physician ignores contradictions and difficulties; he who bases his proceedings upon science solves the first and conquers the last, benefits always and injures never. Withal, there remains this advantage in Homoeopathy, that the learned and the ignorant, the honest worker and the indolent, can all participate in its blessings. Homceopathy is that individualizing healing art which, like all her true disciples, seeks to exclude more and more all accident and chance. The generalizing physicians, who concede a large part of their success in healing to chance, just save to themselves the appearance of being scientific by their rampant skepticism; and greatly do they need this appearance, because with those chances theyopen the door to routinism as well as to charlatanry; they move therefore, provided they know better, onil immoral ground. The diagnoses not found in this work, such as Mercurius and Sepia (AMercurius and Stannum), Pulsat. and Silicea, Camph. and Ipec., &c., can be made up in the mean time by the comparison of those given. Of Gelseminum nitidum and Glonoin there follows only a sample, the diagnosis fiom Belladonna.* Whenever the medical effects of these remedies shall have been more verified, then will Gelsem. have to be compared with Arsen., Puls., Veratr., &c., and Glonoin, with Aconit., Camph., Digit., Op., &c. One of the difficulties of the present work consisted in its limits. In order not to make it too extensive, and thereby unpractical, I was obliged to select from the pharmacodynamic affinities the most interesting and practically most important antitheses, and to generally leave out such symptoms as both have in common. In order to confine myself to the diagnosis, I usually had to leave all such symptoms of remedies uncon. sidered as were based upon single observations, and I have gained thereby in clearness and general survey. I acknowledge thankfully that, without Bcenninghausen's previous efforts, my labors would have been above the power of a single individual. Bcenninghausen's diagnosis of Calcarea and Causticum (Allg. h. Ztg. 63, p. 86 seq.) encouraged me to persevere in what I had reluctantly begun. No intelligent person can reproach me with having trodden in Bcenninghausen's footsteps, since in what he has done no one will be able to rival, much less surpass him. The antitheses of remedies which have thus far been incompletely proved, or only rarely applied, and the symptoms of which could' therefore have received but little con* Dr. J. C. Morgan has added a comparison of Gelseminum and Aconitum. C.Hg. x INTRODUCTION. firmation in practice, are of course but meagre and uninteresting. This is one of the reasons why these diagnoses must for the present remain incomplete; but it is left to a succeeding generation to correct what is doubtful, and to complete what is deficient. What there is. yet to do, in this respect, will become partially obvious when we observe that, in spite of all provings and counter-provings, the modalities of symptoms of some efficient and often used remedies, as Bellad., Bryon., Arnica, &c., have remained comparatively uncertain. I hope that this work will, by all, be - not lauded, but — what would be to me thle most acceptable acknowledgment- used; used even by those whose approbation would be of no benefit to a book of this kind. If it exposes to many a reader his own deficiency of knowledge, it is at the same time ready to fill up any such gap with fidelity and discretion. The difference of the principal polvchrest-remedies are partly familiar to all, but had to be referred to for completeness' sake. It is true that the so-called naturally related or cognate remedies are not quite suitable as successive or alternate* remedies, but I could not omit them entirely, as the object of these pages is to facilitate the differential diagnosis of (also such) remedies, and because, as Hering has already shown, such remedies are especially diagnosed by the conditions under which their symptoms are either improved or aggravated. - Compare Carbo anim. et veg., Sulph. and Hep., Ant. crud. and Tart. emet., Phosph. and Acid. Phosph., &c., &c. e' The last appearing symptoms always being the most important (Hahnemann, Chron. Diseases, p. 171; Hahnemannean Monthly, vol. 1, n. 1, p. 7), for instance, after a medicine ceases to improve a case, the reappearing symptoms, or still more so the new symptoms, become the principal indicative in the next selection; we are never able to decide a priori what will be the next medicine suitable in a given case. Close observation, however, had shown to Hahnemann'himself, and to many of his followers, that after certain medicines (for instance Calcarea) certain others (for instance Ly-copodium) are oftener indicated and follow each other well; hence the very important doctrine of successive remedies sprung up, i. e. there are some medicines which may often be given with peculiarly good results after each other. Of course never without consulting the changed state of the case, as we never know, and never can know, how a case may have become altered, and never know beforehand what medicine will be the next indicated. In some cases (spoken of in the Organon, 169 & 170) where two medicines appear to correspond to a case, one of them to one group, the other to another group, we may suggest that after the one has been given and overcame one part of the complex of symptoms, the other might be given next to overcome the others.-This may be sometimes the case, but it may also not; the chances are equal. We have first to see. inquire, and observe, as Hahnemann urges in 170, before we decide. There are cases where, after such an indicated succession, the first medicine of the two appears to be indicated aRgain, the symptoms havinog so changed, or the former group of symptoms indicating it being returned, and after it the second again, for the same reason, neither of the two being fully indicated, only both seem to cover the case. Such cases have been the offspring of the doctrine of alternate medicines. Both together being out of question as, then, they ought to have been proved together. After a certain succession has been of a good effect more than once, it may be considered excusable to suppose a repetition might be of a similar good result, but never have we the slightest excuse to suppose such a thing a priori. As an example of the worst kind we may mention the alternation of Aconit. and Belladonna in scarlet fever, which has proved to be the most absurd and most injurious in innumerable cases, because Aconit. rarely, if ever, is indicated in scarlet fever, even not in the beginning, when it may lessen the fever, and the fever being of course beneficial, spoil the case. Belladonna and Rhus have been really indicated in scarlet fever and have been given one after the other, and in many cases with benefit alternately; but since we know when to give Calcarea or when Ammonium, we do not depend any more on such miserable makeshifts. Alternation is thus among true Homceo. pathicians to be understood as IIahnemann understood it, and never to be decided on a priori. C.HIg. INTRODUCTION. xi It is self-evident that many of the modalities mentioned are to be understood merely as prevailing and predominant, which would not exclude solitary deviations; for it is well known that, with several remedies (Nux vom., Rhus, Sil., Staph.), the complaints in the scalp constitute an exception to the other circumstances, partly in regard to the time of aggravation, and partly as to the predominant influence of warmth of bed.Under Argent., Coloc., Rhus, &c., we find a contrast between trunk and extremities in so far as the complaints are at one time increased by extension, at another diminished by the same circumstance. —In Argent. and Sulph. the pains in the joints differ frequently from the muscular pains by the varied influence of rest and warmth of bed.-Aconit., of which most of the (inflammatory, congestive, catarrhal) symptoms are aggravated by a warm room (and by wine), has, on the other hand, the rheumatic pains ameliorated under the same conditions, while they are worse in cold open air.-As a general thing, congestive complaints are nearly always better in open air, even with remedies whose other symptoms are aggravated by cold free atmosphere. However, see: Chamorn. and Nux vom. In the separate comparisons are to be found not only what the one remedy has opposite to the other, but also what the one has in preference, or much oftener than the other, cr when the same symptoms appear under different conditions. The relative differences I have tried to designate partly by their expression and partly by different type; —it lies, in fact, in the character of comparative observations, that the prominent type here used can have only a relative significance, not an absolute one: as in Bonninghausen's books. XWThere single words are not marked by different type, the sequence of different conditions is sometimes pointed out by the position of the words; if, for instance, under Rhus there is, "after rising from a seat," aggravation or amelioration, then the former refers to the commencement of the motion, the latter to its continuance. These general statements are intended for the comprehension of all the variety of complaints answering to a remedy, never for one and the same case; otherwise it could not be explained why under one remedy sometimes two quite opposite symptoms have been mentioned; as for instance under Merc., "itching, better or worse by scratching."' Wherever in any one diagnosis some headings have been omitted, it was because no notable phenomena had been observed under that heading, or only such as belonged to both remedies. It should be understood, also, that on account of the general character of these notes, for instance, the term "aggravation" embraces all predisposing and exciting influences. It is, therefore, needless to explain in particular that, for instance, under Sulphuric acid the "aggravation by the use of brandy" refers to the consequences of a deleterious, habitual use of this beverage, while "amelioration after the use of wine," in the same remedy, signifies that it is simply a palliation of the symptoms produced by the medicine. As a general thing, the amelioration of symptoms by the respective influences (motion, exertion, &c.) means that these influences are of a moderate degree; for example, Rhus has: "better on moderate pressure," on the other hand "worse on deep pressure,"-Ars., Bell., Cham., Rhus. t., "better from warmth of room," but "worse near a fire or hot stove,"-Cannab., Ipec., Thuya, "better in the room," but "worse when the same is too warm." I need scarcely remark that no extreme inferences should be drawn from the statements in these diagnoses; to explain: if Pulsatilla has many complaints "better after eating," XII INTRODUCTION., while Bryonia many "better with an empty stomach," it is not to be concluded that aggravation after eating does not occur in both remedies. In order to gain in compass of expression, I have worded the time of aggravation or remission of symptoms in such a manner that conclusions can be drawn from either as to the other. If, for instance, Calcarea has "remission before midnight," we know that during any other time of the night or day aggravations occur, which, however, need evidently not be present in every corresponding case of disease. We can, thence, also surmise the extent of time of the remission and aggravation, respectively, to which the different symptoms of a remedy are subject On the other hand, we do not include, in the time of general remission or aggravation, attacks of chills, fevers, &c., nor sleeplessness, which often predominate just at the period when most of the other symptoms of a remedy show a remission, and vice versa. With a similar brevity I have stated the relation of thirst to the different stages of febrile attacks. The expression of "rarely" or "very rarely" presupposes the corresponding symptom in the opposite remedy to occur frequently.-The " want of physical irritability" and "increased irritability" refer always to the (at the time present) material conditions of the entire individual constitution. It is therefore not to be understood that these phrases correspond with "over-sensitiveness," or "insensibility," or "feeling of numbness " (comp. Fluor, Mere., Staph.), which latter refer only to. the condition of single or several nerve-branches, and which designates only the peripheral relation to external irritations. During a peripheral numbness or insensibility the central sensitiveness of some separate nervous trunks may be heightened, as we find it to be the case in many neuralgic affections. (Compare the note to Camph., Veratr.) Dryness of skin is not placed in antithesis to sweat, which is mostly found in the same remedy, but to disposition to sweat or sweating easily, in so far as both occur in feverless conditions. The difference between nervous and sanguineous apoplexy is of little value to the ipathologist, but remains important in relation to its phenomena and in therapeutics. With the remarks on the coagulability of the blood it will have to be remembered that the same often depends on the dose and repetition of the drug, according to which -it varies. Wherever bright and dark haemorrhages are differently stated, it refers also to the,menses I suppose there is no vindication needed for having placed the influences of the moon* and sun in contrast, as it is known that the influences of either exclude those of the other more or less, and, for instance, that a thunder-storm is not likely to occur while the moon is above the horizon. Besides, there are but few remedies which represent the influences of both equally. It is true that the electrometer has scarcely been used, thus far, in the provings of remedies, the state of the atmosphere during a thunder-storm being only a phenomenon of dynamic electricity, measurable by the galvanometer. * Some doctors get into a condemnation fit if they see the "moon " mentioned in a medical work.'With the most miserable superficiality they call it a superstition. But aggravations of symptoms,:apparently synchronous with certain phases of the moon, have been observed and, indeed, noted by observers like Hahnerann himself, Bcenninghausen, and a few others. And they proceeded with such care that only from a very few medicines, about five per cent. of the whole number, such observations exist, and that is all that has been collected during the time of half a century! It is very cheap to,sneer at it. But such " critics " have no right to call an easy process of this kind " reasoning." C.Hg. INTRODUCTIO. XIII It may not be superfluous to remark that the wordings "first right, then left" and "first left, then right," also "from above downward" and "from below upward" are applied according to the maxim of Contraria contrariis, by virtue of the law of inverse directions.* The diagonal "upper right, lower left" implies in man and quadrupeds the stronger, while "upper left, lower right" signifies the weaker power. These formulae are characteristic and important, because they contain, by implication, the principle of motion; while we mean, by a simple "right or left," no reference to rest or motion of the body. The expression "inner ear" includes the middle portion, i. e. Tympanum and Eustachian tube. Several remedies have the excretion of urine increased, or also diminished. Such an increased excretion is due, either to excessive doses of the medecine (Aeon., Coloc., Op., Sassap., Sulph.), or to a spasmodic or paralytic state inherent in the symptoms of the remedy (Op., Bell., Canth., Hyose., Stram.); or else the diminished excretion is conditioned by a simultaneous (watery) diarrhocea (Veratr., Phosph. acid., Arsenic). With Arsenic the stages of fever are also of various influence, as the excretion of urine during the chill is more copious than during the hot and sweating stage. - Besides, the assertions in regard to the urinary secretion may suffer modification by considering the presence of a local disease of the urinary organs. Whenever, in the appendix, under the term "while urinating" the locality of the sensation is not stated, it is understood to mean the urethra. Where simply the word "expectoration" is used, we understand always an "expectoraticn by coughing." -- "Expectoration rare" or "constant" refers not to the time of day (which is usually mentioned in connection with it), but to the statistic relation of the expectoration to the cough of the respective drug. It has concerned me more, as a general thing, to express the relative statistic significance of a symptom objectively, than to make sharp antitheses. I am well aware that the allusions to antidotal symptoms are by no means exhausted, because every remedy which bears a symptomatic affinity to another one —i. e. which is similar in its form of symptoms, that is to say, which is alike in many and opposed in some actions-may also be its antidote; but I did not wish to let the opportunity pass of giving the reader an inducement to interesting comparisons. - At any rate, antidotes are effectuall}y found only by the law of similars; and I wish to observe on this occasion that cases of chronic poisoning can frequently be recognized only by the aid of Homceopathy. A few words on the disputed primary and secondary effects of medicines Even though this conception be problematic (relative), still it is of importance; for should we drop such a distinction of effects entirely we would be obliged to admit all characteristic symptoms of a remedy to be capable of perversion to the contrary, such as contraction * Compare note to Ammon. and Bell., and others. The formula "R. ---— L." or " L. " -eR." has been given only in ei.ht of our comparisons, with. such medicines only where it was considered sufficiently corroberated. More about it will be given in the Journals and in the "Analytical Therapeutics.1" The formula " Upper right, lower left," or " Upper left, lower right " in the effects of a drug has to be exactly alike in the case, but the formula " right" or " left" is rarely to be considered exclusive; it may be the opposite side in the case, if only sufficiently similar otherwise; the formula " right to left" or "left to right," if it is a true characteristic of the drug, ought to be the opposite with the patient. C.Hg. XIV INTRODUCTION. of pupil to dilation, ecstasy to dullness of mind, &c., which would be, to say the least, a, venturous boldness. This distinction can be justified indirectly by Grauvogl's fundamental laws, in which it is affirmed that abstraction of water produces cold (on the other hand, supply of water — heat). Now, in accordance with this fact, all water-abstracting remedies produce first cold and then heat; at least, among the salts there is not one which has first heat and then cold. I would like to know what else this heat, following cold, could be, but a secondary effect; for it cannot be proved that abstraction of water produces heat just as well as cold. This is evidently no ground for striking out the "heat," following cold, from the register of symptoms, but we simply take note of the fact that it appeared after the cold (chill). It is of course necessary to note, with the pathogenic symptoms, the dose which has been used; or else one would, like Hahnemann, have to confine oneself to a narrower scale of doses in provings and to experiment only with molecular quantities; because, if we take into account not only these, but also large and even poisonous doses, the result would be indefinite; but if, on the contrary, we follow the wise and measured path which IHahnemann has prescribed, then the relation of primary to secondary effects will be confined to a narrow limit, and it will be apparent how the inevitable characteristics of medical effects rest on just such a difference.

REMARICS BY THE EDITOR. Dr. R. H. Gross worked at his differential comparisons a great many years. When he had taken up a pair of "related" medicines, i. e. such as had a predominating similarity in their effects, or such as might be indicated in the same or similar diseases, lie considered it a matter of complete indifference which one be placed on the left column of the page and which on the right-hand column. The two columns were to him like a pair of scales. He did not pay any attention to the doctrine of groups, the least of all to Teste's notions. After the collection was made, he arranged them alphabetically. The Index of this translation has been arranged exactly in the same way, and the reader can find at a glance what is contained in the book. To compare all our proved medicines with each other, (if we calculate that there are about three hundred, more or less proved and applied), and to compare, respectively, each one with the other, would require about 50,000 diagnoses I But, of course, the greatest number of them, if worked out, would be useless in practice and a burden to our literature. Still a beginning had to be made in order to find out which are useful and which not, and to know which comparisons we had to make only in our own mind (as we do in other natural sciences.) This is our great aim, and to come nearer to it the work of Gross is a stepping-stone, a transition. As a selection had to be made, it seems that Dr. Gross took Aconitum and Pulsatilla on the one hand, and Sulphur and Arsenicum on the other, and added gradually what he considered next to most important. Here are about five hundred comparisons of one hundred of our most generally used drugs. Another similar volume, as a continuation of this present one, is ready if wanted by the profession, and that would satisfy all the demands of theory as well as of practice for the rest of this age Such a result is certainly encouraging, since, although we are still a decided minority among physicians, we have proved already nearly all the elements of chemistry and about one-hundredth part of all that is offered by nature! This gigantic work had to be done by a few slandered men, within fifty years. It is by far more than any other natural science can boast to have accomplished in so short a time, and, as our increase in number is equally satisfactory, our sons and grandsons may reach the climax. In advising how to use this book, we will address the students first and the practitioners next. The student of Materia Medica has now a better chance than he ever had before to become familiar with the very essence of our knowledge of drugs. The bewildeting awe X1X xx REMARKS BY TiE EDITOR. overcoming every one entering into our dominion disappears with every step forward, if he takes Gross as his leader. Begin by first studying one medicine. Read what is given in the Text-Book of Dr. Lippe, or any other Extract you have on hand, and, immediately after it, its different comparisons, and you will at once get a clearer idea of its character. Of this you will convince yourself by reading, for a second time, what is given in the Text-Book. The first impression the newcomers heretofore received was the perplexing similarity in our collection of symptoms, and it often led to the very absurd remark, particularly with our opponents, that the different drugs acted all alike, and had nearly all the same symptoms over and again. Here now, through Gross, the query will be reversed, and some will ask, "Where is the similarity?" Only here and there a few hints have been given regarding the similarity of the compared drugs, and, if more is required, refer to the Repertories; look to the Materia Medica itself, even to the Extracts; examine the Therapeutical Works, and you will find concordances enough. The book is furthermore of the greatest value to show the necessity of a true, sharp individualisation, and will enable you to learn whether your examination of the sick has been imperfect. You may often return to the sick-bed and examine again and closer after having consulted the Comparative Materia Medica. The practitioner may consult our work every day, at least in all cases where he is not perfectly certain in his choice. It may happen, and, indeed, often will happen, that we cannot at once decide between two medicines, and then we can go to find the very same remedies compared in the book; such a case requires no further advice, a single glance will decide the most important questions and save a great deal of time, except in some cases where a further, and better, and more complete examination will be required; but even in such cases we obtain instruction from the book, and a good advice into the bargain. If only one of the two drugs we have in view appears in the book, we have to look over such other comparisons as come nearest, or, what is very important, over comparisons with such drugs as either were the last given in the case, or had been given, with good result, to the same individual before; or else compare with a medicine which "rules the day," i. e. corresponds to the predominating genius epidemicus If both medicines are to be found in the book, but not compared, for instance Mercurius and Stannum, look to the index, and you will find that each of them is compared with Pulsatilla and with Sulphur. Study both, and you cannot fail finding the advice you wish. If it happens that we are undecided about several different medicines, we have to look over several comparisons. If neither of them is among the first hundred in the book, there is nothing else to be done than to make the wanted comparison yourself, and find out, at the same time, what a great undertaking it is to make one such comparison only, which, we sincerely hope, will impress upon you the importance to send in your subscription for a second volume, and not to forget to promote, as much as you can, the sale of this book; for a continuation of it will, as a matter of course, never appear if it does not nmeet with a ready sale. The order in the arrangement of symptoms, which our author has adopted for satisfactory reasons, is only partly Hahnemann's plan. He commences with generalities REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. XXi mostly looked for by the practitioner, and the symptoms of the skin, with those of fever, following next. These are then divided from the other symptoms by means of a rule. Below this rule the symptoms of the mind were placed first, head next, and so on, according to Hahnemann's plan. A third division is again formed by another rule; it contains the Aggravations and Remissions during the day, and all other modalities and conditions. The fourth division points out the contrast of such conditions which are predominant in one remedy and the reverse in the other: one of the most difficult, but also most useful parts of the whole comparison. Here it is where we hope to obtain many additional corroborating, or, if necessary, correcting remarks by the practitioners. According to the author every comparison had to fill a page, arranged in strictly alphabetical order, which is of great advantage in consulting the book. As a few of his comparisons could be printed together on one page, without disturbing the order, it was concluded to give others two pages, provided they could be arranged in such a way as to place them invariably opposite each other. Additions were also made to some of them, extending the limits adopted by Dr. Gross, in order to make them still more instructive for beginners. There are eight such two-page medicines: Aconitum and Coffea-Bryonia and Pulsatilla-Coffea and Pulsatilla-Cuprum and Ferrum-Cyclamen and Pulsatilla-Rheum and Chamomilla-Rheum and Nux vomica-Veratrum and Belladonna. Thus twelve of our polychrests are more fully compared: nine times with one, twice with two, once with three others. Beginners may find it very useful in learning by them what great practical use all such comparisons have, particularly if they are able to add observations of cured cases of their own, and know, as the Germans say, how to read "between the lines." The translation has been made with the greatest care and the best intentions for utmnost accuracy, trying, with due piety towards the author, to render his peculiarities and his own variations. The edition and revision has absorbed all the spare hours of a whole year. Some incongruities of language have undoubtedly slipped our notice. All remarks about such will be thankfully received, ackowledged, and made use of. The editor begs to be excused, in particular, for some Germanisms, most of which, it is hoped, will not hinder the use of the book; a few of them might even be permanently adopted, like the word "proving," and others. "Fever," in the German language, means the whole attack in all its three stages. Eastwind, in middle Europe, is a landwind, and, consequently, had to be translated by " Westwind," and vice versa. Technical terms have been preferred whenever the author preferred them; otherwise they have not had the sole sweep as in other books, but the true, clear anglo-saxon was put in its place. For instance: "sweat" is generally used instead of the mock-modest "perspiration;" "bellyache" has taken the place of its real meaning; "unpainful," philosophically (as used by Locke), is to be distinguished from "painless," and has been regularly used where it ought to have the preference. Several other expressions, not of daily use in the newspapers, have been preferred after a cautious consultation with American and German scholars. XXII REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. Abridgments had to be resorted to so as to make the work less extensive and expensive. They will not puzzle the reader if he consults the opposite line or other places where there was space to spell the word out in its full length. "Pred., Predom., Predominantly," is explained by the author in his introduction; it always means that the respective medicine has the respective symptom or modality far more than its opposite and is therefore to be preferred if the same is the case with the patient; but it is not to be used exclusively, i. e. the opposite may also come in use, being not a contra-indication, provided there are enough of other characteristics besides to confirm the choice. R.-,'L. and L.-* R. means that some symptoms, with the provers, have been observed to go from the right side to the left, or vice versa It has been supposed that in cases to be cured by such a drug the "drift" with the sick ought to be the reverse. Observations of this kind ought not to be lost, but carefully collected and communicated, as they may lead us to a greater certainty, in theory and practice, much more than any other proposed exclusive rule ever has done. We cannot omit, at the close of this great undertaking, to express our thanks to all who aided us, as without such aid it would have been impossible for Editor and Publisher to succeed. The first thing requisite was to have the manuscript, as left by the author, copied in more legible German. This was done, with the greatest exactness and in an incredibly short time, by DocToR L. KNABE. To mention all who aided in the collection of a Glossarium, and in the translation of the text according to it, is inadmissible; but we say, with our thanks, that the translation of the Introduction - a most difficult task - was done by DR. R. KocH, and a careful revision was made by DR. MORGAN. The Pharmaceutical Key was revised by DR. ZUMBROCK. The whole Appendix has been translated by DR. CONRAD WESSELiCEFT. The very interesting observations regarding cures of horses, in our work, have been translated with the aid of Mr. TEGTMEYER of this city, a veterinary surgeon and a true Homseopathician. Numerous additions by our Colleagues have been duly credited. Finally our particular thanks are due to Mr. John H. Schwacke, who superintended the setting in type of a manuscript which would have been refused in most all other Printing offices, as the execution, according to the plan of the Author, offered such uncommon difficulties, that it required great skill, experience and ingenuity to overcome them. We ought to likewise mention the compositors, and thank them for their skill, their patience, and the great interest they have taken in the correct and tasteful typical arrangement of the work.

The effects of both remedies principally begin on the right side, extending afterwards to the left, and both are only effective when the complaint of the patient develops in the opposite direction. For instance: the hardness of hearing, which indicates Ammon. carb., is cured more effectually by it, when the complaint began on the left side and extended or threatened to extend to the right side; -- inflammations of the ears or earache, indicating Belladonna, are more certainly cured by it, when they appeared first on the left then on the right side.

The sensation of numbness in suffering parts peculiar to Pulsatilla is very rarely found with Bryonia. N.B. Both remedies meet in gastric and rheumatic affections, and in swellings of the knee; Bryonia is more effectual in gout; Pulsatilla is preferable in haemorrhoids; Bryon. acts more on the arteries and articular synovial membranes, Pulsatilla more on the veins. (H. Hartlaub.) Bryonia more on the functions of the eye, Pulsatilla more on the organic parts of the eye; Bryonia alone has the buccal eruption, Pulsatilla the earache; Bryonia has more swelling of the feet, Pulsatilla of the face; Pulsatilla has many changes of taste, while Bryonia has only the bitter taste with livercomplaints; the inflammations of the eye are drier, more rheumatic or gouty with Bryonia, with Pulsatilla humid, catarrhal, scrofulous; on the heart, testicles, and ovaries, Pulsatilla acts almost alone.* (Bryonia more on the pericardium. J. C. Morgan.) N.B. * added by C.Hg. t Both remedies have pains in joints, in the upper right, lower left side, but these pains are very different.

This comparison is principally based by H.Gr. on a treatise of Baenninghausen in A. h. Z. vol. 63, p 86, who published it to instruct some ignorant wiseacres who objected to our Causticum, because we do not know what it is, according to the theories of the chemistry of our day. But we can prepare it, can use it and heal the sick with it according to its symptoms, and it is one of our most valuable instruments. Twenty years ago the chemists discovered Ozon, twenty years hence they may tell us, what Hahnemann's Causticum is; why should we wait for that and let the sick suffer?

N.B. In accordance with the character of increased susceptibility, which is peculiar to Cantharides, this remedy lacks the sensation of numbness in suffering parts peculiar to Lycop. N.B. Dr. LUDLAM, on diphtheria, calls our attention to Cantharides in cases where the patient has urinary difficulties, too copious or difficult micturition, the urine containing shreds or casts of the uriniferous tubuli, shows extreme prostration, sinking, death-like turns, particularly if there appears a rash upon the skin or under (shining through) the epidermis. As Lycop. also has the urinary difficulty and according to Dr. Raue (Lecture on Diphtheria), the latter is indicated when the fauces have a darkish hue, worse on the right side, which is not unsimilar to Cantharides, we may be able to decide by Ludlam's other characteristics, or by the following of Dr. Raue, for Lycop. (worse from swallowing warm drinks, has to breathe through the mouth, or dilates the nostrils with every inspiration, the child is naughty, cross, kicks, awaking from a nap); but in cases where such symptoms are not given, we may use the differential comparison with advantage. Also look to Lachesis or Apis. C.Hg. * Deviations can be explained by the varionq inflnences which warmth of bed has on the Lycopod. complaints.

Of all our medicines Carbo vegetabilis is, according to its symptoms, the most similar to the characteristic symptoms of yellow fever, as much so as Sulphur corresponds to the characteristics of Asiatic cholera. Hence each remedy respectively, when it can be given in time, is best given in the first symptoms of these epidemics, in order to reduce each case at least to a milder forman immense advantage. It is worthy of note that charcoal would put an end to the spreading of yellow fever, if the excrements of each patient, and every corpse, were covered by coarse charcoal powder; but whether the internal use of it will prevent the disease with individuals has not yet been ascertained. Sulphur prevents Chol. asiat. with individuals, if the finest powder, called milk of Sulphur, is put into the stockings, so as to come in contact with the soles of the feet; a pinch a day is sufficient to cause a gentle pouring out of su]phurated hydrogen through the pores of the skin, all over the body, blackening bright silver. But whether the substance which carries the disease is destroyed by it, has not been ascertained yet.

N.B. The aggravation of Cinchona-complaints, when lying on back, is apparently contradicted by two recent cures (one of prolaps. uteri, and the other of Empyema). However, we cannot attach great importance to these cases, as lying on belly became unbearable on account of mechanical conditions. Neither can we attach importance to another cure with Cmuchona, where bending the head back (when lying on belly) relieved relatively, because only in this way the patient could avoid lying on back, and also avoid the aggrav. caused by enveloping the head (with the bedding). * Wine improves Ferrum-complaints only when it is not acid.

C. Hg + Bo)th remedies have aggravation in bad, but with Ferrum this is more a consequence of rest, with Iodine of warmth of bed. Ferrum. Lycopodium. gLeft side-Dark hair-Inclinat. for motion.

N.B. Both are often indicated in typhoid fevers, it is true, in widely different cases, but sometimes the choice is difficult, particularly as Belladonna is equally applicable in apparently opposite states. Both have: Apathy, stupor, unconsciousness or great sensibility to noise and also to light; dislike to talk, except in delirium, the latter sometimes is furious (Veratrum, " tearing his clothin,," Belladonna, " tearing their breasts awfully"), great fearfulness; eyes dim and glazy, face pale or by turns red and hot, distorted features, sudden startings in sleep, grinding of teeth; both have much thirst, frequent drinking, but only little at a time; the mouth dry, saliva lessened; diarrhcea; involuntary discharge of the fbeces and the urine; both have nymphomania and other uterine affections in common; with both the head is often burning hot, while the limbs are cold; both have an aversion to being covered, both indicated particularly in children and women, etc. VERATRUM has a great similarity with Lycopodium in typhoid complaints of children; Belladonna with Rhus or Calcarea.-Veratrum predom. violent headache, the head is hot and covered with sweat; hands are often put on the head, children rub the head, cannot bear being left alone; dim eyes, are full of tears, eyelids livid, blue edges around the eyes; face collapsed, pale, bluish; the nose more pointy; boring in the nose, rubbing the mouth; lips bluish or hanging down; nausea, vomiting food or slime, violent colic with the diarrhoea; urine scanty, red-brown; breathing short, frequent, difficult; dry cough, or with a rattling noise, but no expectoration; skin shrinking, relaxed, without "turgor;" temperature sinking; coldness, cold viscous sweat; burning heat of head and trunk, with limbs alternately hot and cold; cannot bear being covered during the heat; pulse frequent, small and hard, or down to 48 beats, soft and intermitting; frequently indicated in cholera season. - Belladonna: Violent temper; morose or depressed and sad mood; delirium mostly violent, raging (imagining enemies or animals), in alternation with an apparently deep sleep; desire to jump out of bed, run away, or picking the bed clothes; body in constant motion, jerking with hands, move hands about in the air; sudden starting from slemp with screams; convulsive motions of the limbs; giddiness, dizziness or fullness, heaviness, rush of blood to the head; throbbing, shooting on top of head alternately, with stitches in decayed teeth; cannot bear others walking through the room; eyes fiery, staring, rolling, sparks before the eyes; pupils first oversensitive, later not reacting by light; face puffed up, shining; hearing very acute or hard of hearing, buzzing in the ears; difficult speech, stammering, lisping, or speechlessness; twitching when attempting to talk; tongue white, smooth or cracked, red and dry, with a burning thirst; spasmodic difficully in swallowing, cannot swallow but a few drops; breathing either frequent or slow, hardly perceptible, interrupted by deep sighing; sleepless with great longing for sleep; skin burning hot, rarely cold; heat otten appears on upper part of body, with objective cold feet; pulse at first frequent, fall and large, later quick, hard and suppressed; in violent rage they uncover themselves. Often indicated in hot summers, or in fevers from solar influence. C.Hg. N.B. The supersensitiveness to pain is much more with Belladonna than with Veratrum. H.Gr.-But " pains driving to madness" is a characteristic indication for Veratrum. C.Hg. * Both remedies have predominant aggravation of symptoms from "drinking cold water," because it is peculiar to Belladonna to occasion difficulty in "swallowing drink." Veratrum. Bryonia.
