PREFACE.
Inquiry into the modus operandi of a homcopathic drug.
WE have no means of knowing the inmost functions of the
organism; sometimes we may feel at liberty to draw speculative conclusions from results relative to the nature
of the causes in which they have originated, but we
cannot sustain our explanations by illustrating them by the
phenomena of material nature; for this reason, that the
functions of the living organism have nothing in common
with the changes of matter, but on the contrary, take place
in an entirely different manner.
Possessed by these convictions, it is quite natural that I
should never have attempted to explain how diseases can
be cured by medicines, the pathogenetic symptoms of
which are similar to those of the disease. I have furnished
a conjecture relative to that matter, without wishing it to
be considered an explanation. Such an explanation is not
necessary.  It simply behoves us to apply the law
"like cures like" correctly and successfully, and not to
boast with abstract explanations, in spite of which the
patient may remain uncured. Indulging foolish hypotheses is all that the so-called physicians of the Old School
have accomplished up to this moment. These physicians
would not have hesitated to reject the doctrines of homoeopathy, which however teach the only true method of cure,
simply because my explanation of the modus operandi of
homceopathic agents was not satisfactory.
If I again attempt to throw some light on the inmost

PREFACE.


action of homoeopathic drugs, it is not because I expect
to satisfy my opponents, but in order to furnish more probable explanatory suggestions to the real adherents and
able advocates of the homoeopathic system, and to satisfy
the irresistible, innocent and praiseworthy impulse of the
human mind to account for the mode in which we accomplish changes from evil to good.
It is undeniable, that our vital powers, when unassisted
by remedial agents, are unable to cure diseases, even those
of short duration-taking it for granted that those powers
are not overcome by the disease, without expending by a
so-called crisis a portion, and frequently even a considerable portion, of both the fluids and solids of our organism.
I have shown this elsewhere. We shall, perhaps, never
be able to explain this mode of action of the vital powers
but we know with certainty that they do not accomplish a
victory over disease in a direct manner, or without making
great sacrifices. The vital powers are not even capable
of healing the chronic, miasmatic diseases, and of substituting health in their stead, without inflicting a loss upon
the organism. But it is certain, that although the vital
forces may achieve a victory over the acute as well as
miasmatic diseases without inflicting such losses upon the
organism, provided they are assisted and directed in their
action by a properly selected homceopathic agent, it is
nevertheless those forces that conquer, in the same sense
as the native army is said to have beaten the enemy,
although it may have been assisted by auxiliary troops.
Those vital forces, unless assisted by a homoeopathic drug,
cannot control a natural disease without inflicting great
sacrifices upon the organism; for, naturally, they have
only power to maintain the unimpeded evolution of the
functions of the animal economy, as long as those functions
are not disturbed by the improper interference of an external agent.
The unassisted vital forces are no match for such hostile,

disturbing agents; they are even weaker than those
agents-oppose them with many symptoms of suffering,
and cannot overpower them, be they either acute or chro-,mic, without inflicting great losses on the organism. This
result can only be avoided by assisting the vital forces by
a proper remedial agent. God has appointed the true
physician to this office.
The homceopathic agent is alone able to secure to the
vital forces that superior power which is necessary to
conquer the enemy.
I repeat, that the vital forces, the natural destination of
which is the regulation of the undisturbed functions of the
organism, oppose but a feeble resistance to the approaching enemy, which waxes stronger in proportion as this
enemy becomes more powerful, but which, even in the
most favorable circumstances, is scarcely equal, and in
weak patients, not even equal to the power of the assailing enemy: the vital forces are neither able, nor naturally
destined to overpower that enemy, nor can they oppose
him without being injured.
By magnifying ever so little the enemy by whom the
vital forces are assailed-which we accomplish by invading the vital forces by an artificially morbid influence
closely resembling the disease, we induce those forces, as
from an instinct of self-preservation, gradually to unfold
all their energies until they become powerful enough to
control the disease; the vital forces are then restored to
the regulation of the animal functions, whereas, the artificial medicinal disease disappears of itself, so soon as we
discontinue the use of those agents by which it had been
establislhed in the organism.
The principle by which the body is animated, is infinitely great and lasting, provided we maintain its integrity
by a proper diet, and relieve it from an invading enemy
by proper homaeopathic treatment.

ANTI-PSORIC       REMEDIES.
TODIUM-IODINE.
DYNAMISE one grain of iodine according to the mode
taught in the first volume.
Iodine is a heroic medicine, even when employed in the
highest potencies; -its use requires all the discretion of a
good homceopathic physician, lest he should abuse this
substance, as alloeopathic physicians do, who frequently
destroy the constitution and even the life of their patients,
by enormous and improperly applied doses of the druý in
c uestion.
Iodine has rendered especial service in affections with
he following symptoms: Dizziness in the morning; throboing in the head; pain as from excoriation in the eyes; buzzing in the ears; hardness of hearing; coated tongue; mercurial ptyalism; bad taste, as of soap; sour eructations,
with a sense as of burning; heartburn, after eating heavy
food; canine hunger; nausea; incarceration of flatulence;
distension of the abdomen; constipation; nightly micturition; delaying menses; cough; old morning cough;
difficulty of breathing; external swelling of the neck;
weakness of the arms, early in the morning when in bed;
going to sleep of the fingers; curvature of the bones; dryness of the skin; night sweats.
This drug has been proved by Drs. Gersdorff, Gross,
Hartlaub and Trinks, Schreter.
From Noack and Trinks: Iodine is useful in the following affections: Scrophulosis, (it is supposed by some
that the muriate of baryta will dispute the rank with iodine
in the treatment of scrofula.)  Glandular affections,
especially swelling of the thyroid gland, hypertrophy of
the tonsillae, parotid gland, &c. Affections of the mucous
nembranes, especially when depending upon a scrofulous and leuco-phlegmatic disposition; and particularly
when this condition seems to affect all the functions of tho

being; in catarrhal affections of the Schneiderian membrane without any fever, of the Eustachian tube, larynx,
trachea, vagina, urethra, with disposition to thin, white
coryza and obstruction of the nose, especially in persons
of between 20 and 30 years, brought on by cold and
neglected catarrhal fever.  Syphilis, with tendency to
hypertrophy; chancre eleve. Iodine has cured a chancre
on the fraenulum praeputii; the frrenulum having become
detached, that portion of the ulcer which was situated on
the fraenulum, became elevated, whilst that other portion
which was situated upon the glans was deepened, without, however, showing the characteristic edges of a chancre. The cure was effected in this way:-the edges became dry first, the ulcer became gradually covered with a
brown crust, under which the suppurative process continued for a time, but afterwards left a solid, star-shaped
cicatrix, there being very little substance lost, so that the
cicatrix appeared rather even than excavated. Old gout,
characterised by violent, nightly pains, in various joints,
without any swelling; spina ventosa and caries of the
spongy extremities of the bones. Arsenic disease. Tabes
mercurialis. Dropsy; dropsy after fever and ague, in a
scrofulous female; various forms of intermittent fever
and ascites, intimately connected with disturbances of the
spleen; scarlatina, when Bell. would do no good, (giving
mercury first.)  Sore nipples, consequent upon scrofulous conditions. Scirrhous induration. Febris meseraica;
Lobethal observes, that in febris meseraica, iodine is inferior to CALc. CARB., when this fever indicates, as it often
does, very insidiously, an approaching atrophy. Inflamed,
big, bloated eyelids. Humming before the ears and ha-rdness of hearing, being remains of frequent colds or catarrhal inflammations of the throat, when we can with certainty diagnose an accumulation of mucus in the Eustachian tube by the humming being increased by chewing or
any other motioi of the jaws, or when the cold frequently
returns, or when the patient complains of his ear being
closed by a valve. Hard hearing from swelling of the
tonsille; swelling of the parotid gland. Obstinate and
torpid swelling of the cervical glands. Constitutional stomacace. Chronic, painless vomiting, (in the case of a

the whole chest. Cough, first periodical, afterwards continuous, especially in the morning when rising (remaining
after inflammation of the lungs;) irritation, exciting a
cough in the left and lower part of the chest, four fingers'
breadth above the pit of the stomach, the cough being
sometimes accompanied by a slight, concealed pain in that
part, whitish or yellowish expectoration, temporary asthma,
and shortness of breath, stitching pain in the affected side
of the chest when walking fast during severe cold, continual and violent fluent and dry coryza, complete absence
of smell and taste; and sad, vexed, solicitous mood, in

Camphor generally moderates the violent effects of lycopodium; Pulsatilla subdues the violent feverish feelings

A moderate dose acts from 40 to 50 days. It may be
repeated after the intermediate use of anotler anti-psoric,
but a second dose acts less favorably than the first.

MAGNESIA      MURIATICA. - (CHLORIDE         OF
MAGNESIUM.)
It is but little which I have to offer concerning this drug.
But it must certainly become a powerful agent in the treatment of chronic diseases, considering that bathing in the
sea has frequently done great good, even making allowance
for the good effects of the journey, the absence of the cares
and turmoil of business, the dashing of the waves, &c. In
the North-sea, a pound of sea-water contains at least an
ounce of this salt.
However, inasmuch as one anti-psoric is seldom sufficient to cure developed psora, it was impossible that these
baths should remove more symptoms than are contained
in the chloride. The remaining symp:oms ought to be
treated by other drugs.
Experience has taught me to look upon this agent as a
most valuable anti-psoric, and I recom:r.-nd it most earnestly for further trials.
It has been found especially useful, when the following
symptoms were present: Headache, every day; pulsations in the ear; tensive pressure in the head; eruption in
the face; aching pain in the liver, even when walking, or
feeling the part, greatest when lying upon the right side;
continual distension of the abdomen, with constipation;
tingling stinging in the muscles of the abdomen; old, painful hardness of the right side of the abdomen: taenia;
knotty, hard, difficult, insufficient, delaying stool; chronic
diarrhcea; hysteric and abdominal symptoms, extending
even into the thighs and bringing on leucorrhoea; troublesome dryness of the nose; the arms go to sleep, early in
the morning, when waking up; paralytic drawing in the
arms and knees; aching in the knees; sweaty feet; liability to catch cold; weakness of the body, apparently
originating in the stomach.

Equal parts, in weight, of the black oxyde of manganese and crystals of pure sulphate of iron are triturated
together in the mortar, and, having been mixed with some



198


MANGANUM.


syrup of sugar, are made into balls of the size of a hen's
egg, which are heated between charcoal, and kept in a
state of incandescence for about ten minutes. A solution
of these balls in pure distilled, or rain-water, contains the
pure sulphate of manganese, the sediment containing a
mixture of the remaining oxyde of manganese and oxyde
of iron.
The carbonate of manganese, which is precipitated from
the clear solution by means of Natrum, and ought to be
washed with water a sufficient number of times, is a white
powder, the drying of which in the air, and subsequent
powdering requires great care, lest it should assume a
yellowish colour, which would show that there is yet some
of the oxyde of iron remaining in it. To remove this
oxyde, the yellowish powder is dissolved in dilute nitric
acid to saturation, the solution is then filtered through
paper, a precipitate is formed by means of Natrum, the
precipitate being afterwards freed from its admixture of
salt by means of distilled water, and then dried.
The carbonate of Manganese is dynamised in the usual
fashion; or else it may be boiled with distilled vinegar,
until a saturated solution shall have been obtained, which is
then boiled into a syrup. This is the Manganum aceticum,
one drop of which is dynamised by succussion up to the
30th potency.
The following symptoms have been obtained from both
these preparations:
Manganese has been found especially curative in affections characterised by the following symptoms:Diminution of the senses; burning of the eyes, and dimness of sight by day; morning-agglutination of the eyes;
frequent emission of flatulence; knotty, difficult stool; frequent, papescent stools in the day; diseases of the larynx
and trachea; chronic hoarseness; phthisis laryngea;
insufferable pains of the periosteum and the joints; chronic
inflammatory swelling and ulceration of the little finger;
shocks of the heart; yawning; burning of the soles.
This drug has been proved by Drs. Ahner, Franz, Hornburg, Haynel, Gross, Langhammer, Riickert, Stapf, Tenthorn,Wahle, and by Ng.

MURIATIC ACID-ACIDUM           HYDROCHLORICUM.
The colourless muriatic acid of the shops, which is obtained from common salt by distilling it with sulphuric
acid, contains a good portion of this latter substance. To
purify this munriatic acid, the sulphuric acid ought to be
precipitated by means of the muriate of baryta forming the
sulphate of baryta; the supernatanlIiquid is poured off and
distilled over again.
The yellow muriatic acid, distilled over by means of
the sulphate of iron, contains too much iron to be used for
homoeopathic purposes.
Muriatic acid has been found useful in affections in
which the following symptoms occur: Half-sightedness in
looking from above downwards; insensibility in the internal meatus auditorius; throbbing in the ear; deafness;
pimples in the face; freckles; sore throat; eructations;
aversion to meat; distension and repletion of the abdamen; abdominal spasms; stool too thin, obstruction of
the nose; drawing with pressure, in the upper arms and
knees; coldness of the feet; sensitiveness to damp weather.
This drug has been proved by myself and Drs. Gutmann,
Hartmann, Haynel, Langhammer, Rummel, Stapf, Wislicenus, Ng.
From Noack an. Trinks: According to Noack and
Trinks, muriatic acid may be used in the following diseases:-Scrofulosis.-Acute diseases with rapid sinking
of vitality, great exhaustion and weakness, and septic character.-Scrofulous, exanthemata.-Humid, suppurating,
scaly eruptions, itching in thb bad,-Pimples on the fae-o
