THE EDITOR'S PREFACE.
IN offering the present volume to the public, it may be proper for
me to make a few remarks in regard to two or three expressions,
which, on account of their double meaning or their apparent nonmeaning, present some difficulties to the translator. These expressions are:The German " drickend."     All English authors, including
the editors of the British Journal of Homceopathy, are in the habit
of rendering the term " drilckend " by "pressive; " they constantly say " pressive headache," " pressive pain, " etc. Pressive has
a more passive meaning than " pressing; " this latter expression
corresponds exactly with the German " pressend;" the term " prcssend" has been constantly translated by " pressing" in the
present volume. As regards the propriety of using the term
"pressive," the opinion of scholars seems to be divided. Some
of my professional brethren, among others, Drs. Gray and Curtis,
seem to think that the German expression " driuckender Schmerz "
simply means an ache; " driickender Kopfschmerz," a head-ache.
Other scholars, of great eminence, whose authority has great weight
with me, and would have with every body else, seem to think, on
the contrary, that the term "pressive " is just as legitimate as are
the terms " compressive," " contractive," compulsive," etc. On
reflection, I have thought proper, for the sake of popularity, to
adopt the view of my professional brethren, Drs. Gray, and Curtis,
and to use the term " ache " or " aching" in all the subsequent
volumes of the Materia Medica. But, in translating " driicken"
by " ache," it becomes necessary frequently to consider the Adjective Noun and the Noun Adjective. We frequently meet with the
expression "t dr7ckender stch."  This could not be rendered by
" aching stitch," but has to be rendered by " stitching ache."  An
" ache " is a pain which is perceived by the whole of the sentient

system; it may have a principal local seat, and may there excite a
peculiar sensation-which may be expressed in the form of an
Adjective-but "i aching" can never become an Adjective itself.
Dr. Jourdan, in his remarkable translation of our Materia Medica,
has constantly used the term " pressive," "cephalalgie pressive,"
" douleur pressive," etc.
There is another expression which requires an explanation; it
is the term " reissender Druck;" it occurs several times among
the symptoms of Dr. Gross, and once or twice among those mentioned by Dr. Langhammer. The literal translation of this expression is "tearing or rending pressure."  This seems to be a
contradiction in terms; but as the same indistinctness prevails in
German as in English, I have furnished a literal translation of this
symptom; the idea which is meant by this symptom, seems to be
"pressure " and " tearing."  How far these two apparently contradictory symptoms may exist in combination, one qualifying the
other, I must leave the reader to decide.
We meet several times with expressions like these: " gurgling,
etc. in the knee;" these evidently point to a peculiar kind of vibration perceived in those parts.
The reader will, I trust, be pleased with finding the nosological
portion of the recent work of Drs. Noack and Trinks annexed to
each remedy. The present translation of the Materia Medica Pura,
and the Antipsorics, may be regarded as a most complete exposition of all the symptoms, and therapeutical observations, which
constitute the present science of Homeopathy.
In speaking of Drs. Noack and Trinks, I may here remark that I
have no faith whatsoever in their theory of doses. My reasons for
this want of faith, I shall furnish in the Homceopathic Examiner.
Suffice it here to lay down the general proposition that " he who
deviates from Hahnemann's principles in the treatment of Chronic
diseases, lacks wisdom."

New-York, August, 1845.



ANTI-PSORIC REMEDIES.
AGARICUS MUSCARIUS-(BUG-AGARIC.)
THIS fungus is surmounted by a scarlet coloured top,
which is studded with whitish excrescences, and white
leaflets. To prepare it for homoeopathic use, it may be
either used fresh or after it has been carefully dried. When
dry you take one grain of its weight, and two grains when
it is fresh, and triturate this portion with one hundred
grains of sugar of milk. To obtain the thirtieth degree
of potency, you resort to the processes of trituration, attenuation, and dynamisation, which have been pointed out
in the first volume.
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 weeks. Camphor is the
chief antidote, even against such affections consequent
upon the use of agaricus as have assumed a chronic character.
The names of those who, besides myself, have tried this
remedy, are Apelt, Dr. Gross, Dr. Frederick Hahnemann,
Dr. Langhammer; name not known, Seidel, Medicinal1

word in the English language. In the French idiom " la tote est
prise," the term " prise" means precisely the same thing as the
German " Eingenommenheit." Eingenommenheit means a dullness, an obtusion of the senses and the thinking faculty, such as is
sometimes produced by a cold in the head, or as is sometimes consequent upon the use of spirituous drinks. The term " Eingenommenheit," in this translation, has been always rendered by the term
"I obtusion of the head."

This salt may be prepared by mixing one ounce of the
sal ammoniacum and one ounce of the crystals of Natrum
in a Florence flask, which should then be loosely closed
at the top. Then take an iron pan filled with sand, into
which the flask is inserted to a level with the contents.
The pan being then heated, the ammonium is sublimed

Ammonium is especially suitable to adynamic, weak,
nervous, venous, or lymphatic constitutions, to individuals
of a torpid, phlegmatic, melancholy temperament, to people leading a sedentary life, and to the female organism;
in persons who are easily impressed, and react but slightly
and for a short lime, when there is laxity of the fibre, disposition to lymphatic accumulation of mucus and fat, and
to nervous affections.
P. S. It is remarkable that ammonium should be useful
against a tendency to gangrene, and that cancerous and
mortifying ulcers should evolve a large quantity of ammonium; that ammonium should play an important part in
the affections of the sexual organs of the female, and that
a considerable quantity of ammonium should be evolved
through the skin during the period of menstruation; and
lastly, that ammonium should relieve the symptoms of
poisoning by fungi, and that ammonium should be a characteristic constituent of those growths. It is well known
that a similar relation exists between the itch and sulphur;
that the itch-vesicle smells of sulphur, and that sulphur is
a specific against the itch.

Take four grains of the sal ammoniac in lumps, this
kind being the purest, and dissolve them in six grains of
boiling distilled water, filter the solution, through white
printing paper, and then set it in the cellar, until the crystals shall have formed. From these crystals the different
degrees of potency are obtained, by means of those processes of trituration and succussion, which have been
pointed out in the first volume. One or two globules of
the highest potency, dissolved in more or less water, according as the medicine is required to act more or less powerfully, are sufficient to secure the proper curative influence of this remedy; even smelling of one of those
globules may be sufficient.
This salt is eminently deserving of more trials as regards
its pure effects.
In the following affections this remedy has shown itself
especially efficacious:Whining, peevish, insociable mood; muscce volitantes,
in day-time and in the evening by candlelight; (hard
hearing,) tingling and buzzing in the ears; ulcerated
corners of the mouth; tensive pain in the articulations
of the jaws, when masticating or opening the mouth;
empty eructations; painful stitches in the left hypochondrium, early on waking up in bed, with difficulty of breathing, which obliges the person to sit up; the groin, when
touched, feels as if there were swelling and subcutaneous
ulceration; disposition to costiveness, discharge of blood
during stool; soreness up along the rectum, when sitting;
vomiting and diarrhoea during the catamenia; pressive
and contractive pain at the belly and back during the
catamenia; pain at the small of the back during the catamenia; tearing in the feet during the catamenia; lancinations in the nape of the neck, as far as the shoulder, when
sneezing; violent cough; tightness at the chest when
doing some kind of labour with the hands; stiffness in
the small of the back; stitches in the right scapula, when
breathing; lancinating pain as from a sprain, in the left

This drug has been tried by Hahnemann, (Ng.) Hartlaub, and Rummel.
Noack and Trinks resume those affections under the
following heads: (comp. Amm. Carb.)   The effects of
the Muriate of Ammonia may be said to consist in an
increased secretion of mucus, irritation of the peripheral
action of the irritable tissues, with a tendency tofluidification, decomposition, and collapse. The Muriate of Ammonia is especially useful in the status pituitosus. The
doctrines of the Old School in reference to that fact, are essentially based upon homoeopathic ground. Gumpert, indeed, asserts that " the Muriate of Ammonia produces the
most marked and complete status pituitosus. Is not all
this homoeopathic doctrine andpractice? The Muriate of
Ammonia is especially adapted to fat, bloated, lax individuals, to the venoso-lymphatic, or lymphatico-scrophulous
constitution, with indolent body and mind, livid complexion, scanty growth of hair, and weakness of the osseous
structure, especially when accompanied by thinness of the
extremities. In the following diseases the Muriate of
Ammonia will prove beneficial: Anorexia, flat impure
taste, tongue coated with mucus, constipation or slimy
diarrhoea, especially in remittent or intermittent so-called
venous fevers, (pituitous, saburral gastric fevers;) acute
and chronic inflammations of the mucous and serous tissues, (acute and chronic catarrh;) inflammations of the
glands and parenchymatous organs; swelling of the nose,
with discharge of a badly smelling, excoriating pus, and
swelling of the cervical glands; rheumatic swelling of
the tongue; parotitis; inflammatory sore throat; habitual
quincy; rheumatic angina; sthenosis of all the hollow
organs, the cesophagus, trachea, rectum, urethra; distention
of the liver and spleen; phthisis pituitosa of the intestines; peritonitis; enteritis; diarrhosa, dysentery; diseases of 'the kidneys; lithiasis; blennorrhoea of, the bladder and urethra; gonorrhcea, (third stage;) strictures and

tree, called Anacardium occidentale, the fruit of which is
kidney-shaped, and was not known to the Arabs.
This powerful drug, togethler with others of which the
ancients availed themselves with great bcnefit, had been
completely forgotten for the last thousand years.
Serapio, in his book, " de simplicibus," C. 346, (contained in Practica Serapionis, Venet. fol. 1550,) quotes
most of those Arabian authors who have written on the
use of the Anacardium juice. ABEN MESNA.I: est bonus
corruptioni sensus et memorice. ALCHALAHAMEN: proprietas ejus est, conferre relaxalioni nervorum (paralysis.)
BEDIGOAS: removet oblivionem et acuit sensum. ABUGERIG: est bonus paralyticis et eis, quibus timetur adventus ejus. This last author recommends caution in the
use of the juice: commovet-baras et lepram et aposlemata
et forlassis occidit- (nocivus) juvenibus et cholericis.
The following symptoms indicate the use of Anacardium with iolerable cerjainty:Hypochondriac, sullen mood; depression of spirits;
dread of men; fearfulness; apprehension of near death;
deficiency of moral feeling (depravity, flagitiousness, inhumanity, hardheartedness;) sensation as if he had two
wills, one of which repels him from what the other leads
him to do; sensation as if the spirit were disunited from
the body; desolate emptiness of the head; headache
pressing from the temple towards the eyes; headache in
the occiput, arising from wrong stepping and great noise.
Weakness and dimness of the eyes: nets and dark spots
before the eyes; painful swelling of the ear; itching in
the ears; running at the cars; grumbling in the ears;
roaring in the ears; surdity; bleeding at the nose; fetid
odor from the mouth, without his perceiving it; accumulation of water in the mouth; fieculent taste in the mouth;
violent thirst; want of appetite; nausea early in the
morning; weakness of the stomach; difficult digestion;
oppression at the pit of the stomach, early in the morning
on waking up; oppression at the liver; hardness of the
abdomen; blood with the stool; varices of the rectum,
someiimes painful; itching of the arms; humour eking
out at the rectum; burning in the glands before and after
micturition; involuntary erections during the day; there

is but little enjoyment in coition; lEcorrhoea with itching
and soreness; feeling of dryness in the nose; obstruction
of the nose; chronic coryza, and discharge of mucus from
the nose; expectoration when coughing; rattling in the
larynx, when lying on one side; stitches and heaviness in
the fore-arm; tensive pain and weakness in the arm;
trembling of the right hand; burning inthle soles of the
feet; weight in the limbs, especially in the knees; tremdlous lassitude; want of irritability of the skin, which cannot be excited into itching or becoming moist by the use
of resins; sensitiveness to cold and draughts of air; catching cold easily; falling asleep late; anxious dreams;
chilliness; sweat when sitting.
Camphor and spirits of nitre do not seem to act sufficiently as antidotes; smelling of coffea cruda is a powerful antidote against the anger and the vehemence consequent upon the use of anacardium.
This drug has been tried by Doctors Samuel Hahnemann, Becher, Tranz, Gross, Hartmann, Herrmann, Langhammer, Stapf.
Noack and Trinks offer the following remarks on anacardium: It is adapted to nervoso-bilious, dry constitutions, to the melancholico-choleric temperament, to irritable hypochondriacs. It may be employed in the following
affections: herpes furfurans; warts; catarrhal fevers.
Depression of spirits, or moral affections partly exaltation,
partly weakness; moral affections consequent upon Onanism. Weakness of mind, memory, senses; imbecility;
loquacious dementia, originating in humiliation; Furor
u:erinus? Satyriasis? Melancholia simplex; Anoia et
Abulia melancholica, Melancholia Moria, misanthropica,
Athymia, Melancholia hypochondriaca. Amblyopiaamaurotica. Disecoia chronica.-Anosmia.-Paralysis of the
tongue.-WVeakness of digestion, and flatulence of hypochondriacs.-Diseases of the liver.-Asthma; hysteric
spasms of the chest, which go off amid floods of tears.P. S. The " Confectio anacardina scu sapientium has been
celebrated as a distinguished remedy against weakness of
mind, memory and the senses. Nevertheless, R. A. Vogel
(hist. mat. med. p. 276,) remarks: That " Caspar Hoffmann has called 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 often and inconsiderately."  Hence it was only the improper and too frequent
use of anacardium that made it hurtful; if applied correctly, it became curative.

apprehension as regards the future. When walking he
felt anxious as if some one were pursuing him; he suspected every thing around him. He has anxiety in all his
acts; every thing appears to him more terrible; he imagines to be surrounded with enemies; then he feels warm,
and the blood seems to boil within him, (a. 7, 8 d.) Apprehension and thoughtfulness, when meditating over his
present and future destiny. The future appears dangerous to him, as if nothing but misfortune and danger were
in expectation for him; want of confidence in his strength,
and * despondency. He is disunited with the whole world,
and has so little confidence in himself that he despairs of

mently angry, breaking out in personal violence. Want of
disposition to do any thing.  Dread of labour; he is
afraid of undertaking the least labour; he likes nothing.
In the afternoon he is more cheerful than in the forenoon;
as soon as the sleepiness after dinner is past, he is more
cheerful and more disposed to work, (a. 38 h.)  He is
very indifferent and unfeeling; neither agreeable nor disagreeable objects excite his interest; for eight days. Excessive cheerfulness. He laughs when he ought to be
serious. When occupied with serious things he is obliged
to laugh on account of a tickling at the pit of the stomach;
when occupied with laughable things, he is able to abstain
from laughing. He loses his thoughts. Great weakness
of memory; he cannot remember any thing, he forgets
every thing immediately. He remembers with dfficulty;
he retains nothing in his memory, he is deficient in ideas,
and he soon loses his subject without being aware of it.
The memory is quite deficient, early in the morning, especially as regards single names. Diminution of the imagination, and the memory in the afternoon; he cannot recollect any thing, (a. 5, 6 h.)  In the afternoon his memory
is better than in the forenoon, although his recollections
only come to him after the time when he was in need of
them; however, he easily understands what he reads, although he does not entirely remember it, (a. 3, 4 d.)  Increase and greater vividness of the memory; he spontaneously recollects the smallest circumstances of times long
past; he would be able to learn easily by heart, if his attention were not diverted by other thoughts, which he,
however, finds it easy to control, (a. 1I h.) Anacardium
weakens the understanding, (Matthiolus, in the Commentar. in Discorid. M. M. L. V. Cap. V. p. 985.) Obtusion of
the senses, with anxiety; he scarcely perceives what is taking place around him. The mind feels obtuse as if a cold

which has been furnished to him; he does not remember
any thing of himself. Every kind of intellectual labour is
difficult for him, owing to a sort of mental absence. Obtusion of the senses, accompanied by obtusion of the head
and exhaustion of strength. Early in the morning, after
a sound sleep, he is unable to comprehend any thing; his

enter upon acute analyses; but every effort of this kind
gives him an acute: pressive headache in the forehead, the
temples and the occiput. Any little effort of the mind
causes a sensation as of being bruised in the brain. Illusion of the fancy; he imagines to hear his name called by
the voice of his distant mother and sister, accompanied by
an apprehension of misfortune and anxiety.  Melancholy
illusion; he imagines to see a bier in the side-room upon
which either his friend or himself is lying. He confounds
the present with the future.

eight parts of sulphur, and one hundred parts of
antimony. The different triturations are prepared according to the method which has been pointed out in the first
volume. The smallest dose is sufficient to produce the
desired effect, in chronic diseases. It is desirable that
the effects of the pure metal should also be carefully investigated. Its remedial virtues which, in many respects,
differ from those of the sulphuret, are scarcely yet known.
How different are not the effects of arsenic from those of
its sulphuret, and those of quick-silver, from the effects of
vermilion, each substance being specifically useful.
The different antimonial preparations: Kermes minerale, sulphur auratum, antimonii primae, secundae, tertim,
praecipitationis, contain all of thenm, different quantities and
qualities of antimony, according to their different modes
of preparation.
Antimony is useful when the following symptoms are
indicated:A child cannot bear being touched or looked at: rush
of blood to the head: troublesome itching on the head;
with falling off of the hair; redness and inflammation of
the eye-lids; sore nostrils; heat and itching of the cheek;
pain in hollow teeth; chronic loss of appetite; eructatations, tasling of the ingesta; nausea, loathing disposition to vomit consequent upon spoiled stomach; colic, with
absence of appetite, hard stool, and red urine, in a child;
pinching in the belly with a sensation as if diarrhoea
would come on; alternately diarrhoea and constipation, in
people rather advanced in age; difficult hard stool; constant discharge of a white-yellowvish slime from the anus;
frequent urinating, with discharge of quantity of mucus,
and burning in the urethra with pains in the small of the
back; cutting pain in the urethra, when urinating; obstruction of the nose; painful inflammation of the tendons
in the bent of the elbow, with violent redness and curvature of the arm; the legs go to sleep when sitting quietly;
violent pains in the lower extremities; corn on the sole
of the foot; large horny places on the sole of the foot,
close by the toes; horny excrescence in front under the
nail of the big toe; malformations of the skin; sensitiveness to cold; somnolence.

AURUM (THE COMMON METAL.)
IN the same way as superstition, incorrect observations,
credulity and baseless conjectures have been the cause of
a great many false statements as to the pretended remedial
virtues of certain medicines, that have been received into
the old materia medica; a great many powerful medicinal substances have been set aside as inefficacious for
want of experiment, and upon the strength of frivolous
theoretical reasonings.
I may here only mention gold as illustrative of my assertion; not the gold which had been dissolved by acids
and reobtained again from the solution by precipitationthese two kinds of gold have, both of them, been pronounced dangerous and even useless, because they cannot,
without danger, be administered justa dosi, in an excessive quantity: No, I speak of the pure, unaltered gold.
Modern physicians have pronounced it inefficacious,
and, by banishing this remedy from their system of materia medica, they have deprived us of the brilliant remedial virtues of that drug.
They said " that it could not be dissolved in the gastric
juice and that it was therefore powerless and useless."
Such theorelical speculations were received in the place of
convictions. Bold decisions, empty theoretical conjectures,
have almost always, in medicine, been taken in the place
of well founded truth: it is so much imore convenient,
simply to assert, than to interrogate experience, which,
however, is the basis of the art of curing.
They cannot avail themselves of tie excuse that gold
has also been condemned by older physicians, as by Fabricius (in Obs. med.): " How should leaf-gold be affected
by the slight degree of heat of our stomachs, since the



AURU7M.


177


most violent fire has no action upon it?" or Nic. Monaides (de ferro, p. 32, 33.): " Patients may believe me
and spare their money, they will never obtain any curative
action from gold." Or Alston (mat. med. I. p. 69;) " As
metallic gold cannot be dissolved or changed by the vital
power, it, therefore, can have no other medicinal effect except so far as it has a mechanical action upon the intestines by its heaviness, hardness and form, or at last, T.
F. Gmelin (Appar. med. min. I. S. 445:) Since gold cannot be destroyed or dissolved and cannot be united to the
humours of the animal organism, it, therefore, cannot have
any curative action.""
Nor can they avail themselves of the fact that the medicinal virtues of gold have been denied by many of the
older physicians, such as: Ant. Musa Brassavolus, Fel.
Platerus, Hier. Cardanus, Jo. Bravus Petrafit, Franc. Pic.
Mirandola, Merinus Mercenius, Duretus, Camerarius,
Cordosus, Conringius, Lemery, Angelus Sala, or Joh.
Schroeder, who, generally, believes every thing.
They are all of them wrong, and all the modern physicians into the bargain.
Gold has great remedial virtues which cannot be replaced.
The assertions of these physicians made me first doubtful about the medicinal powers of gold. But as I could
not bring myself to believe any one metal inherently dispossessed of medicinal properties, I first employed gold
in solution. The symptoms of gold in solution are but
few. However, one quintillionth or sextillionth part of a
grain of gold in solution was sufficient to obtain a few of
those symptoms which I afterwards obtained of the pure
gold.
I have an aversion to employ metals dissolved in acids,
were it for no other reason than simplicity. And then,
their properties must necessarily be altered by the acids,
*NOTE: How foolish to undertake to decide by theory whether
gold has curative powers; all that was necessary to do, was, to
ascertain by trials and experiments, whether gold had, or not, remedial virtues. If it was found to have any, then the theoretical
assertions to the contrary, are, all of them, ridiculous.

as may be seen by comparing the medicinal virtues of the
corrosive sublimate with those of the oxyde of mercury.
I therefore was much pleased on discovering that many
Arabian physicians praised the remedial virtues of gold
when administered in the shape of afjine powder, in many
affections, against which I had already employed the solution of gold with great benefit. This circumstance was
of course calculated to inspire me with confidence in the
assurances of the Arabian physicians.
Already in the eighth century, Geber (de Alchimia traditio, Argent. ap. Zetzner, 1698, lib. II. p. iii. cap. 32.)
praises gold as a " materia letificans et in juventute corpus conservans."
At the end of the 10th century Serapion the younger
(de simplicibus comment. Venet. fol. ap. Junt. 1550, cap.
415. p. 192,) praises it thus: the powdered gold is useful
in melancholy and weakness of the heart.
Then at the beginning of the 1th century Avicenna
(Canon. lib. II. cap. 79.): " the powdered gold is useful as a remedy against melancholy, takes away the fetid
odor of the mouth, may be used, even internally, against
falling off of the hair, fortifies the eyes, is useful in cardialgia and palpitation of the heart, and extremely so in difficulty of breathing.'
Abulkusem (Albucasis is the first to describe the preparation of such a gold powder, at the beginning of the 12th
century, in libro servitoris de praep. med. p. 242): " Triturate the gold upon a piece of rough linen in a basin full
of water, and employ the fine powder which has fallen to
the bottom of the vessel "  John of St. Amand teaches
the same mode in the 13th century, in his appendix to
Mesue, (Opera, Venet. 1561, p. 245, 4. E.)
Tlhe Portuguese, Zacitus, imitated this mode, and described the history of a nobleman who had, for a long time,
been tormented by melancholy fancies and whom he cured,
within a month, by means of the gold powder obtained by
* NOTE: This latter expression has a double meaning in the
Arabian; according as the word is emphasised, the expression either
means " talking to one's s.f," or: " difficulty of breathing." Experiments show that the latter is the true meaning.

triturating gold upon a stone adapted to that purpose, (see
Histor. Medic. lib. I. obs. 33).
I forbear quoting the eulogies which have been bestowed upon the powdered gold by Jo. Platearius (quaest.
Therap.) Rodericvs a Castro (de Meteor. microcosmo,
cap. 3) Abraham a Porta Leonis (dialog. de auro), Zaccharias a Puteo, Joh. Dan. Mylius (Anatomia Auri), Horn,
(Ephem. Nat. Cur. Dec. 11. ann. 3, obs. 159.) Fr. Baco
(Histor. vitae et mortis) Fr. Joseph Burrhi (Epist. 4, ad
Thorn. Barthol. de oculis.) Jo. Jacob Waldschmicdt (Diss.
de auro, Marb. 1685.) Chph. Helwig (Diss. de aiuro ejusque in medic. viribus, Gryphisv. 1703) Lemnius, Pet. Florestus, 01. Borrichius, Rolfinck, Andr. Lagna, Eumfiller,
Tackius, Helcher (Diss. de auro, Jenae 1730.)  Potcrius,
J. D. Horstius, Hollerius, Hofer, and Zweller (Pliarm.
August.) Suffice it to say that 1 credited the testimony
of the Arabians more than the theoretical doubts of modern physicians, and employed the finest leaf-gold, after
having triturated it for an hour with one 100 grains of sugar of milk.
I will not decide whether the gold is still more finely
triturated in this powder or whether it has become slightly
oxydised. Hundred grains of this powder, containing one
grain of gold, or sometimes 200 grains, containing 2 grains,
when dissolved in water, have, in full grown persons, prcduced considerable alterations of their usual coidiiiorr and
all the morbid symptoms which will be described hereafter.
It will thus be seen that the Arabian physicians, who
were not without skill in discovering medicinal substances,
have effected, by means of gold, homoeoputhic cures without being aware of it.
I have cured, by means of gold, several cases of melancholy in persons who earnestly thougtht of killing themselves. They took in all about thle  or _-part of a grain
of gold. I have also cured several other important affectio:ls which will be found erfumerated amonlig 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 convincing myself that I  part of a grain

of gold will manifest a most powerful curative action, es.
pecially in cancer of the palate and nasal bones consequent upon the abuse of the acidulated preparations of
mercury. The gold symptoms analagous to these artificial affections will be found among the subsequent symptoms.*
Farther trituration and dilution develops and dynamises
the power of gold still more, so that I now use, very often,
only the smallest part of a grain of the decillionth potency.
Would our physicians, who, by their method of imagining the remedial virtues of a drug, had been led to condemn gold as an inefficient agent, have ever been led to
suspect the remarkably curative powers of gold? Could
our manufacturers of the materia medica, who substitute
imagined virtues in the place of the real properties of the
drug, ever have discovered the medicinal virtues of gold
in any olier way except that which the homoeopathic proving of the drug has revealed.
Poor, fabulous materia medica, such as is commonly
used! how far hast thou failed in describing the true action of remedies, which experiment alone has revealed to
the homceopathic physician!
The action of gold, in minute doses, lasts at least 21
days.
Smelling of coffea cruda, and especially camphor,
has been found to be an antidote against the effects of gold.
In the following affections, gold has been found especial'y useful:Hypoclondriasis; melancholy; loathing of life; disposition to suicide; rush of blood to the head; cancer of the
palate bones and nasal bones; obscuration of sight by
black spots hovering before the eyes; toothache from
rush of blood to the head, with heat in the head; inguinal
hernia; induration of the testes of long standing; prolapsus and induration of the uterus; rush of blood to the
chest; falling down unconsciously, with the face becoming

This drug has been tried by Drs. Hahnemapn, Franz,
Gross, Fricdrich Hahnemann, Hempel, Hermann, Langhammer, Lehmann, Michler, Rummel, Wislicenus.
Noack and Trinks arrange the affections, in which gold
has proved curative, under the following heads:Gold is especially suitable to scrofulous and venous
constitutions, to the melancholy and phlegmatic temperament, to individuals with blond hair, indolent habit, and
soft, lax fibres. Gold appears to be more suitable to male
persons, whilst, under similar circumstances, platina is
more suitable to females. H-ypochtndriasis.-Hysteria,
hysteric spasms and convulsions.-Epilepsy.-Chlorosis,

mercurial symptoms, (in this disease, gold ought to be

of the tongue, prepuce, and anus. WVeakness of the mind
and memory; mental fatigue, consequent upon great exertions of the mind.-Mlelancholia, with loathing of life,
and inclination to commit suicide.-Spleen; melancholia
of every kind. (It is remarkable that gold should have
been found curative in the mania of suicide, which it is
capable of simulating in its effects upon the healthy organism. Gold also holds special relations to a depressed
stale of the sexual organs, to diseases of the genital organs,
and especially of the testicles. This latter circumstance
is remarkable for this reason, that persons who had cornmitted suicide, have been found to be affected with dis

BARYTA CARBONICA.
CRYSTALS of the muriate of baryta are finely powdered,
and boiled for a few minutes with 6 parts of alcohol, in order to remove the muriate of Strontia which might be present; the remaining powder is dissolved in 6 parts of boiling, distilled water, and then precipitated by means of
weak ammonium-say, a solution of hart's-horn in water.
The baryta which has been thus obtained, is then saturated several times with distilled water, and then dried. The
potencies are prepared according to the usual method of
trituration and succission, which has been taught for the
dry anti-psoric remedies. A few globules (r), act 40, 48
days. This drug may be advantageously used in the following affections, provided it be homoeopathically indicated: whining mood; anxiety as regards domestic concerns; dread of strangers, of company; headache close
over the eyes; susceptibility of the head to cold; eruption upon the head; baldness; eruption upon and behind
the ears; tubercles behind the ears; eruption upon the
lobule; buzzing and tingling before the ear; pressure in the
eyes; inflammation of the eye-balls and lids, with dread of

feet; painful lymphatic swelling of the ball of the big
toe; twitches and jerks of the body by day; heaviness in
the whole body; loss of strength; general weakness of
the nerves and body; susceptibility to cold. WARTS
raving when asleep; twitches of the muscles of the whole
body, at night; night sweat. This drug has been tried by
Doctors Hahnemann, Adams, Gross, Hartlaub, sen., Hartmann, Rickert, Stapf, Rummel. The symptoms marked with a line, are produced by the acetate of baryta.
Smelling of a solution of camphor alleviates the too powerful effects of baryta; smelling of the solution of a high
potency of zink, removes the troublesome symptoms of
baryta.
To the above named affections, Doctors Noack and
Trinks add the following remarks:Baryta is especially suitable for the affections of first
childhood, and more particularly still, for those of old age,
when there is mental or physical weakness, Marasmus
senilis, childish and thoughtless manners (in old people,)

THESE salt crystals are used for souldering and for castings. The Venetians first imported them, impure, from
the East-Indies, where they are especially found in some
of the lakes of Thibet; hence their name Borax Veneta.
Afterwards they were sold by the Dutch after having been
refined by secret processes. Lately borax has been prepared, by the French, by means of an addition of Natron,
from a kind of crude boracic acid, found in some of the
warm springs and lakes of Toscana, in the neighbourhood
of Sasso. In 100 parts of borax there are 22 parts of boracic acid, 32 parts of natron, and 46 parts of water. Borax is, therefore, not entirely saturated with its acid, (acidum boracicum, sal sedativum Hombergii.)  This acid
forms shining scales, a little sour, bitter, the symptoms of
which are not yet known, although they must be very important.
Borax has, for a long time, already, been used as a do

mestic remedy, against the aphthe of children, and for the
purpose of facilitating the labor-pailis of parturient wombs.
Antidotes: Coffea Cruda against the sleeplessness and
the head-complaints of borax; Chamomilla against the
painful swelling of the cheeks. Wine aggravates the
symptoms, especially those of the chest, and vinegar reproduces the symptoms which had already been relieved,
especially the stitches in the chest.
This drug has been proved by Doctors Lane, Hahnemann and Schreter, in Hungary. According to Noack and
Trinks, Borax is especially adapted to sensitive, lax temperaments and nervous constitutions, especially to females
and children, pregnant and nursing women, and such individuals as suffer from heamorrhoids. Borax is especially suitable for diseases of the mucous membranes of
the respiratory and digestire organis, and the diseases of
the female parts. Also for hysteric complaints, especially
megrim with nausea and vomiting. Erysipelas with fever,
especially of face and legs, particularly in lying-in and
nursing women. Herpes furfuraceus. Panaritia. Indolent
ulcers. Plica Polonica. Caiarrhal inflammation of the

irritated condition of the sexual organs. Nausea of pregnant women, and when driving. Gastric complaints, with
vomiting of mucus and slimy diarrhoea. Flatulence. Affections of the liver and spleen, especially in individuals
affected with hiemorrhoids. Slimy and bloody he1morrhoids. Various kinds of menstrual irregularities. Sterility.

Franz, Gross, Hartmann, Langhammer, Rummel, Stapf,
Wislicenus, Schreter.
Noack and Trinks furnish the following valuable remarks on Calcarea:
According to Koch, Calcarea holds no direct relation to
any one organ in particular; but it exercises a subversive
action upon certain systems, especially the serous and
fibrous tissues. According to K och, 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 scrophulous, ricketty constitution, especially when there is a predominant disposition to fluent coryza, cold and diarrhcea, 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 scrophulous diseases, or in the diseases of new-born
children, such as ophthalmia, muscular and nervous weakness, acidity of the stomach.  Calcarea is likewise suitable 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, excessive irritability of the
nervous system, leucorrhcea. Calcarea is sui able for
fancied diseases, for Hysteria, Hypochondi ia, Melancholia, uneasiness, anguish, despondency, whining mood,
