BUSJAHR'S CLINICAL GUJ,IDE; OR, POCKET-REPERTORY FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES. TRANSLATED AND EDI*IED, WITH ANNOTATIONS7 CHARLES J. HEMPEL, M.D. NEW-YORKWILLIAM RADDE, 82'2 BROADWAY. 1850. UNTERED According to the Act of Congress, in the year 1849, by W I L L I A M R ADD E} In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern District of New-York. A. Ludwig & Co., Priater, N. Y. THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. Tins work is not to be confounded with the original Manual of Jahr. The present Repertory is a record *of the observations which Jahr has been collecting for the last nine years, at the bed-side of patients. It is therefore an eminently practical work, and its utility is enhanced by the fact, that the various articles treated of in this Repertory are arranger:! in alphabetical order, Mid can, therefore, be consulted with the greatest ease. The Iader will find, in reading Jahr's preface, that he gives the. preference to particular attenuations in the treatment of disease. The subject of doses has been subjected to a full and impartial examination in the " PiHAVUAc OPCEIA AND PosoLoGY,' a work which is now in press, and will soon be given to the public. All those who take an interest in the doctrine of doses, are re.ferred to this work for more complete information. CHARLES J. HEMPEL, MI D. N'ew- Yurk, December, 1849. THE. AUTHOR'S PREFACE. THE present work is intended to offer the practitioner every thing which it is necessary to know, in such a manner that, in whatever way the desired information may be sought to be obtained, the practitioner will be sure to find it. I have given both the symptoms and the names of the diseases, and have not only given the pathogenetic indications with great completeness, from my own and other physicians' experience, but have endeavoured to complete these indications by referring the reader to kindred articles, and in this way, giving him an opportunity of studying the internal connection of the remedies, and their relation to the case for which they are recommended. It is true that this method will frequently lead the reader from one article to another through a long series; but, since in nature all things are connected, I consider this circumstance an advantage rather than a disadvantage, so much more, as I know by experience, that the speediest, safest and easiest way of obtaining a full and correct insight into the nature of a particular case of disease, is to study every thing which has a bearing upon it. As regards the names of diseases, I have adopted the nomenclature of Peter Frank, with which physicians are more familiarly acquainted. In treating of fevers, epilepsies, hysteric affections, &c., I have left Schcenlein's pathology out of consideration, for this reason, that his system is not much respected by the pathologists of the old school, and is combated with a good deal of spirit by the professors of Berlin, Vienna and Prague. A* 6 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. After all, pathological symptoms do not amnount to nluch, provided we prescribe in accolrdance with the totality of the symptoms; for, by pursuing this course, we cannot fail to pre-criLe for the thing, even if the namLe be left out of consideration, and provided always that Schtunlein's classification of "'ute'rine, testicular, thoracic and other kinds of epilepsy" be correct. There is one work, however, whichl I regret not having had an opportunity of consulting previou-s to the publication of this Repertory; it is Hebra's work on Cutaneous Diseases. Hebra's systeil combines practical advantages witl great clearness and simplicity, whereas all other systems of cutaneous diseases are ccnftiled and without much practical value. Even as early as 1840, when I first published my "KLINISCIHEN ANWEISUNGEN" in I-rench, I applied myself to the study of the German, French andl lnglish systems of cutaneous diseasec.: but the more I advanced in my study, the more I became c(;nvinced that it would be impossible to offer an intelligible nomenclature of these diseases to German, French and English iractitioners. My " REPERto itY oF TIIP CUTANEOUS DIrsEAES" will supply this deficfeney as nearly as possible. This Repertory will co ntain a table exlibiting' the chief names of all cutaneous disea.Lre3 which have been alopted by our most distinguishled pathclogig.-4t:, referring, moreover, to tlhe sy: nonyimyes of these names in other systens, andi the symptoms in our Mater, iu Medica rhicl ch aracterize the different diseases. This table will be as complete ats possible, though it may'not prove satisfitctory to all. As regarlds the remedi.,.s which lhave been recomlnended f(:r single symptoms as well as wio(iO. group)s of symptonms, I lmve only namned such;as; have prove 1 theilm-r;eves curative, either in the particular case before us, wor by removing, incidentally, the symptoms bac re us when bhloaginl to a more extenllive group. Remedies whichl have been proposed more or less speculatively, are marked with an interrogation —point ('). A great many new remledies have been added to those that are mentioned in my original Manual. These remedies have all been successfully tried in practice, andI may, therefore, either be marked with a cipher (0), THE AUTHORWS PREFACE. 7 at, in case they should already be -mentioned in the ManuaS with an -asterisk (*). Those who consult Boenniaghausen's Repertory, will likewise find many useful hints and remarks in this Pocket-Repertory, and a number of remedies that were not yet much used heretofore. As regards the classification of remedies in Nos. 1, 2, 3, I ought to state that, though this classification is essentially based upon experience and the relative importanze' of the remedies in the particular diseases, for which they are indicated, yet the practitioner should never dispense with the trouble of comparing the symptoms of all the remedies mentioned, since one of those arranged under Nos. 2 or 3, may ib more specifically indicated than the remedies mentioned under No. 1. This classification is not absolutely true, and it would be wrong to infer that, because a remedy is found under No, 2 or 3, it cannot, therefore, be as useful as one of those mentioned under 1. This classification is merely intended to show that the remedie.s which are indicated in No. 1, are, generally speaking those which are more frequently used in this particular case of disease, and that the practitioner, in order to save time, had better examine the rnemedies under No. 1 first, before he compares those mentioned under Nos, 2 or 3. It is needless to give any fulrther rules relative to the use of this work. Th( di,;ease; being alphabetically arranged, both iri the index and tl.e jbody (:f the work, all the practitioner has to do, is to look ifr the disca:t.-e and then to study the paragraphs devoted to} it. Begillrlcr-, however, will do well to first study the ~fystelmanii inlldex iollowiulg immiediately after this preface, and otre particularly in the:crticle. "Gc'neral diseases," those subjects which are printed in it:dlics.,ly this meanis they will become familiar with the plan ef the wverk, and will know how to use it in particular cases, This is the plan which I have always pursued in teaching. For thlose xlho have never studied our Materia Medica, I have added the chlaracteristic symptoms of our principal medicines; I ought to say, however, that this work has especially been written for those who possess my SymptomenCodex, or some other kind of Materia Medica, which they may 8 THE AUTHOW'S PREFACE. consult in important cases. To those who study our Materia Medica with care and attention, the work will prove a valuable vade mecum, and an excellent introduction to the study of larger works. The characteristic symptoms of our principal medicines have been appended for the benefit of those who are not yet acquainted with our Materia Medica, and who are at a loss to know how to commence that study. These characteristic symptoms will serve as central points round which the other and less important symptoms of the medicines can easily be grouped. For the benefit of beginners, I will subjoin the following remarks on the selection of remedies according to symptoms, and on the magnitude and repetition of doses. I know, from experience, that Hahnemann's rule, to select a remedy in accordance with the totality of the symptoms, is, in many cases, incorrectly apprehended by beginners, or by physicians who come over to our side from the allceopathic ranks. They do not always distinguish primary and secondary symptoms. This incorrectness is, in the first place, owing to the fact that the old school considerably restricts the meaning of the term " symptom;" and, in the second place, to this other fact, that what is technically termed " taking a record," consists simply in taking down the prominent symptoms without including other constitutional ailments, the treatment of which is postponed until the principal difficulty is removed. It is not supposed, for instance, by beginners, that piles and pneumonia, when occurring in the same patient, have any connection with each other. It is on this account that I have always taught not only to consider the symptoms of the case, but also the symptoms of the paticnt. And even then I have not always been properly understood. Many symptoms, which our school considers as manifestations of the general disease, were considered as independent diseases by the beginner, simply because they had particular names in the old school works on pathology. I have, therefore, refrained from using the word symptom in my lectures to beginners, and have worded my funda(mental rule of treatment as follows: The proper selection of a remedy, in chronic and generally also in acute diseases, depends THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 9 upon the following three points: "1. The remedy must correspond to the pathognomonic symptoms of the case; 2, to the accidental symptoms which do not seem to be a part of the essential features of the disease; and 3, to all other diseases and morbid phenomena which we might discover in the patient." If a patient be afflicted with pneumonia, for instance, we should not only record the essential symptoms of pneumonia, but also the symptoms of any other affection of the eyes that'might happen to coexist with the inflammation, such as: ectropion, pterygion, blepharoptosis, diplopia, amblyopia, &c., and, moreover, the general morbid phenomena of the organism, no matter whether the books speak of them as mere symptoms or as independent diseases. In all chronic diseases this mode of recording the symptoms should he strictly pursued; and even in acute diseases the proper remedy will always be found to correspond to these three series of phenomena, though it need not be selected with particular reference to the third series, provided the disease does not rest upon a chronic foundation, and was occasioned by some exceptional cause. The accidental symptoms, however, that is, those symptoms which are not essentially pathognomonic, should be carefully noted in acute diseases, and the remedy should be selected with especial reference to these accidental symptoms. Some time ago I treated a man of 40 years for acute bronchitis. The remedies which were indicated by the pathognomonic symptoms, such as Acon., Bell., Bry., Dulc., Merc., had no effect. I then learned that the patient had a pain in the calf, as if bruised, with tension on setting the foot on the ground. The patient did not remember having ever hurt himself at that place. The spot looked reddish, green-yellow on the sides, and was painful to the touch. This led me to Conium 30, three globules in water. After the second dose the spot was less painful, the fever diminished, the cough looser, and the appetite improved. * The apparently accidental symptoms are frequently the more essential symptoms of the patient. He who knows how to distinguish them from the pathognomonic symptoms, will frequently be able to cure noma, dropsy, inguinal hernia, &c., with remedies which have never produced such diseases; remedies which are individually essential to a cure, and such remedies do not always correspond to the pathognomonic symptoms. 10 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. As regards the magnitude of doses, my rule is- to give as little medicine as possible.'Nevertheless, in spite of the careful attention with which I have hitherto followed the discussions relative to that subject, I -have not yet been able to decide whether the higher or the lower attenuations are the weaker or str(onger dose-. I have known one drop of the pure tincture to act for weeks precisely in the samne mnnner as the 30:h attenuati( n has been seppo ed to do; I ]have seen violent effects fiomnl the 30th as well as firom the 21 cr 3.1;'eand on the other hand, I hlave effected speedy cures, without ainy previous aggravati(n%, by means of the tincture, and the 1st, 21 or 3d attenuation, as well as with the 30th. I have observed sinilar effects from the 100hil up to the 3 and 8,000th potency. In some cases I have effected a cure by a mere change of potencies, and sometimes an attenuation whicl seemed to do no good whatever, would effect a speedy cure when the same remedy was given after two or three other medicines. As regards the repetition of -doses, it is my conviction, confirmed by abundant experience, that an unnecessary repetition of the same remedy is productive of mnischief, especially if the remedy was not indicated by the symptoms, or was continued after it had produced an incipient improvement. I have seen bad effects from spoonful doses of a solution of a few pellets, just as much as if the original dose had, been repeated. We know that from the fourth attenuation upwards, the medicines act rather dynamically than chemically, but what the real difference is between the first and thousandth attenuation, is as yet impossible to say. It is my belief that the attenuations, if carried up to a certain degree, act more speedily and more positively than the lower preparations, and that a spoonful of a solution of a few pellets i;; a milder (lose than a drop of an alcoholic attenuation; but I amn unable to offer any proofs in favour of my belief; what I know po itively, is, that we do not yet know the limit how fiar the attenuating process can be carried without destroying the power of the medicine, and that, under proper circumastances, a pellet of the 8,000itA potency acts as tcell as, a pellet of the 30th or 3d. THE AUTHOW'S PRREFACE. 11 From this we may infer, that an unnecessary repetition of the dose mllight prove inurious to tthe patient;, that a fiequent repetition of the dose is necessary in very acute diseases, such as cholera, or even in recent chancre; tlhat a single dose will' frequently suffice ill many slighter aiections; and that, in chronic disease3;, a dose should be allowed to act a long time.'This is probably owing to the fact, that in such diseases as steatomata, polypi, chronic pulmonary and liver complaints, old wens, ulcers and herpes, the retro-formative process takes place very slowly, and that therefore a too frequent repetition of the dose produces an aggravation before the curative process has commenced. In all chronic diseases I never give more than one dose, of three or four pellets, and allow it to act a long time; and even in acute diseases I never repeat the dose until the preceding one has exhausted its action. I, therefore, use a solution of from three to six peltlets of the 30th potency, in a tumblerful of water, adminifterinl, it inl teaspoonful doses every two, three or six hours. SomlAinesl I use a higher potency as baing a weaker one, especillly if I want to ascertain whether I have hit the right remedy, for which purpose a small dose is just as effectual as a large. one: for even the sm-llest dose of the proper remedy, if it do no)t elect an immediate cure, will at l1ast make a favourable impression upon the diseaqe. If no such impression be manifest, I would rather resort to another remedy than to prescribe a lower attenuation of the same remedy. The beginner in homaopathy should especially guard himself against prescribing for mere names of diseases, as is too much the case in the old school. This is the reason why I have given as many symptoms as possible, and why I invite the beginning practitioner not to content himself with my owi inlications, but, moreover, to consult the Ma. teria Medica Pura in every case. The study of the Materia Medica Pura is indispensable uo lc'ln to distinguish medicinal symptoms from the natural symptoms of the disease. This is especially important in chronic diseases where new symptoms frequently make their appearance, which may require a chanlge of remedies, according as they are either a medicinal aggravation, 12 THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE. or a new development of the disease. The present work is therefore, not intended to supply the place of the Materia Medica Pura; it is simply what the title indicates, a Pocket-Repertory to aid the memory of older practitioners, and to be a guide for beginners.

CLINICAL GUIDE; OR, POCKET-REPERTORY; FOR THE HOM(EOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES. N. B.-The classification of remedies which I have used in this Repertory, is the same as that which has been used in my Manual. The remedies under No. 1 are those that have acquired authority both from our provings and from experience at the sick-bed; the remedies under No. 2 are likewise authoritative, but not in the same absolute sense as those under No. 1. The remedies under No. 3 have only been confirmed by single cases, or are simply indictled rgtically; and the remedies marked with an interrogation-point (? ftih lielevr been used in practice, and ate proposed upon a mere theoretical suggestion. CLINICAL GUIDE For the Homwopathic Treatment of ACUTE AND CIRONIC DISEASES. ABSCESSES, INTERNAL AND FXTERNAL.-~ 1.- Internal abecesses generally require the same remedies'as external. A preference should be given: a) for acute abscesses, to: Ars. asa..bell. bryon. chain. hep. led. mezer. phosph. puls. sulph. b) for chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by congestions, to: Asa. aurum. calc. carb-veg. con. hep. iod. laur. tycop. mang. mere. merc-corr. nitr-ac. phos. sep. sil. sulph. ~ 2. Particular indications: ARSEN.: for intolerably, burning pains, during the fever; or when the abscess threatens to become gangrenous, or is accompanied with great debility. AsA: for abscesses discharging a colorless, serous pus; violent pains on contact, and great sensitiveness of the adjoining parts BELLAD.: Pressure, burning and stinging in the abscess; cheesy and flocculent pus.-Is especially suitable for hepatie abscesses. BRYON.: The tumor is either very red or very pale, with tensive pain. MEZER.: for abscesses of fibrous parts and of tendons, or for abscesses arising from abuse of Mercury. PULSAT.: When the abscess bleeds readily, with stinging or cutting pains; or when an itching, burning and stinging is experienced in the surrounding parts; especially varices. RHUs.: especially for abscesses of the axillary or parotid glands, when the swelling is painful to the touch, or discharges a bloody. serous pus. ACNE.-For acne in the face of young people: Bell. carbpeg. hep. or sulph. For acne arising from sexual abuse, principally: Cale. phes-ac. and sulph. 1 2 ADIPOSIS-AMBLYQPIA. For acne of drunkards: N-vom. led. and sulph., or ars. lack. and puls. For acne rosacea: 1) Carb-an. kreos. rhus. veratr. 2) Ars. calc. carb-veg. mezer. ruta. 3) Aur-m. cann. caust. canth. cicut. laches. ledum. sepia. For acne punctata (comedones, black pores) most frequently: 1) Bell. hep. natr. nitr-ac. sulph. 2) Natr-m. sabin. selen. ADIPOSIS: for adiposes of young men and girls, observation and symptoms point to the following remedies: 1) Ant. calc. caps. ferr. puls. sulph. 2) Ars. baryt. cupr. lyc. veratr. AGUSTIA: ~ 1. The principal remedies are: 1) Bell. lyc. natr-m. phosph. puls. sil. 2) Alum. amm-m. anac. calc. hep. hyos. kal. kreos. magn-m. n-vom. rhod. sec. sop. veratr. ~ 2. For agustia from purely nervous causes, such as paralysis, the principal remedies are: Bell. hyos. lyc. natr-m. n-vom. sep. veratr. For agustia attended with catarrh, &c., we use: 1) N-vom. puls. sulph. 2) Alum. calc. hep. natr-m. rhod. sep. ~ 3. Compare HEARING, HARDNESS OF, ANOSMIA, AMBLYOPIA, &C. ALCOHOL, POISONING BY.-According to Hering, the principal remedies are: 1) Milk. 2) Mucilaginous drinks. 3) Caustic spirits of Ammonium, (one drop in a tumblerful of sugar-water, in teaspoonful doses). Black coffee is likewise useful, as well as Nux-vom. in homoeopathic doses. ALUM, POISONING BY, AND ILL EFFECTS OF, ABUSE OF, for poisoning by large doses of: 1) Soap-water, or, 2) sugar-water, until vomiting sets in; afterwards Puls. or vcratr. for the remaining symptoms. AMBLYOPIA, weakness or morbid alteration of sight; weakness of sight, from mere dim-sightedness to complete blindness may arise from so many causes, and may be attended with so many different morbid states of the organism, that there is scarcely a remedy which is not of advantage in the treatment of this affection. I have, therefore, noted only the most efficacious remedies for amblyopia, furnishing particular indications to serve as points of support, and to facilitate the selection of remedies for particular cases. The principal remedies for amblyopia, are: 1) Aur. bell. calc. caust. chin. cic. cin. dros. hyos. merc. natr-m. n-vom. phos. puls. rut. sep. sil. sulph. veratr. 2) Agar. cann. caps. con. croc. dig. dulc. euphr. guaj. kal. lach. lyc. magn. natr. nitr-ac. op. plumb. rhus. sec. spig. tart. zinc.

(See INJURIES.) CONDITIONS OF AGGRAVATION, or AMELIORATION OF THE SYMPTOMS. ~ 1. There are practitioners who select a remedy principally with reference to the external conditions of the symptoms, such as: the time of day when they appear, the side of the body, head, chest, &c., where they appear, &c. This is evidently going too far, though it cannot be denied, that these external conditions have a general value in many cases, and facilitate the selection of a remedy, provided the practitioner is otherwise thoroughly acquainted with the essential points of our Materia Medica. To select a remedy with reference to these external conditions exclusively, might prove of great detriment to the patient. ~ 2.

Impetigo, eczema, t&c., exactly resembling the itch, may be gradually developed by uncleanliness, vermin; and the only difference between these eruptions and the itch is, that the acarus, this only true pathognomonic characteristic of the itch, is wanting in the former. For acarous itch, Sulph. is undoubtedly the principal specific, though it seems by no means impossible that (Jaust. mnere., &c., might cause such an alteration in the cutaneous exhalations as would lead to the destruction of the acarus, which I regrard as the cause, not the effect, of the itch. I know of a young man who contracted an eruption in consequence of having slept in an unclean bed on a journey, and who removed it by a wash of tobaccojuice and vinegar. This acarous itch admits of a mere external treatment, with the Sulphlur-ointmlent, without exposing the patient to the danger of contracting secondary dliseases. Of course I do not wish to be understood as if I would sanction the trea mint, by external ap ITCH —ITCHING OF THE SKIN. 197 plications, of the various itch-like eruptions where the acarus is not present. These are the eruptions to which Hahnemann's psora-doctrine should be applied, and the suppression of which, by salves and washes, will induce the various secondary affections enumerated by Halilemann and Autenrieth. The proper way, therefore, would be to distinguish, 1) Scabies acarosa, which can be treated externally without danger, provided the acarus is the cause, not the effect of the disease; 2) Scabies impetiginosa, eczematica, &c., dynamic diseases requiring a purely internal treatment.

POISON, ADIPIC.-This dreadful poison sometimes develops itself in badly kept sausages or other pork. According to Herincl, a beverage composed of equal portions of vinegar and water-, to be taken in large quantities, is the best antidote. It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle. Instead of vinegar lemon-juice may be employed; and, if the patientshould desire, these acids may be used alternately with sugar, black coqfee, or fresh black tea. If the dryness of the throat should continue after using these remedies, and if even slimy i)njectious should not procure an eva 256 POISONS. cuation from the bowels, give Bry., and continue it as long as the symptoms continue to be unfavourable. The ailments which remain after Bry., sometimes yield to Phos-ac.; and, if paralysis or consumption should set in, give Ars. or Kreos. POISONING, TOXICATION. ~ 1. We refer the reader to Dr. Hering's treatise on 1" Poisons," from which the principal items contained in this work about poisons and their antidotes have been borrowed. ~ 2. In treating a case of poisoning, twn things are required: 1) Removal of the exciting cause; and, 2) Treatment of the disease occasioned by the poisoning. This treatment is to be conducted in every case agreeably to the principles of the New School. The removal of the poisonous substances should be effected by the simplest and modt innocent method, either with the finger, or, if this should be impossible, as in the case of poisons that had been swallowed, we recommend the following means suggested by Hahnemann and Hering: 1) Excite vomiting or stool by the simplest means, copious administrationl of tepid water, irritating the fauces by means of a feather or something-similar; placing on the tongue a pinch of salt, snuff, or mustard; or, if neither of these means should be sufficient, resort to injections of tobacco-smoke. 2) Neutralize the poison by means of: The white of an egg, vinegar, or lemon-juice, coffee, camphor, milk, oil, soap, mucilaginous drinks, tea, wine, sugar; or, in some cases: ammoniacal gas, iron-rust, charcoal, kitchen-salt, epsom-salt, sweet-almond oil, spiritus nitr., dulc., potash, boiled starch, &c. ~ 3. Particular indications: WIITE OF AN EGG, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of water, and used as a drink, especially for: Metallic substances, such as, quicksilver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead, and sulphuric acid; when the patient complains of violent pains in the stomach or abdomen, with tenesmus, or diarrhoea and pains at the anus. VINEGAR: Antidotes poisoning with alkaline substances;but is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corrosive vegetable substances, Arsenic, and a large quantity of salts. In many cases it removes the ill effects of Aconite, Opium, narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, belladonna, carbonic-acid gas, hepar sulphuris, poisonous muscles and fish, and even of adipic acid. The vinegar may be drank or administered by the rectum, alternately with mucilaginous substances. The vinegar should be as pure as possible. Crab-vinegar is, of itself, poisonous. COFFEE: Strong black coffee, the beans being little roasted, POISONS. 5i57 and drank as hot as possible. Indispensable for a large number of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoxication, loss of consciousness, or mental derangement, delirium, &c., in general, antidoting narcotic substances, sudh as: Opium, nux-vom., belladonna, narcotic muthrooms, poisonous sumach, bitter almonds, prussic acid and all those substances containing it, Bell., colocynth, vrler., cicuta and chain. In case of poisoning with Antimony, Phosphor. and Phosphoric acid, coffee is no less indispensable. CAMPHOR: Principal antidote of all vegetable substances, especially such as have a corrosive effect, or when vomiting and diarrhoea, pale face, cold extremities and loss of consciousness are present. Camphor is a specific remedy for the ill effects of poisoning insects, especially cantharides, whether administered internally or externally. Likewise for the effects of so-called wormmedicines, tobacco, bitter almonds, and other fruits containing prussic acid. It is likewise useful for the secondary affections remaining after poisoning with acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, poisonous mushrooms, &c., after the poisonous substance itself had been removed from the stomach by means of vomiting, &c. MILK: Less useful than is supposed. To procure an artificial covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous substances are to be preferred. Fat milk (or cream) is suitable in all cases where oil. is, and hurtful where oil is. Curdled or sour milk is suitable or not suitable in all cases where vinegar is or is not. OLIVE OIL: Less useful than is believed. It is of no use in cases of metallic poisoning, and even hurtful in cases of poisoning with Arsenic. It is very bad for the ill effects of Canthar. This remark applies to poisoning with any other insect, or if the poison should have got into one's eye. Oil may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects firon the ear in case they should have got into it. Oil is most suitable for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as: nitric4acid, sulphutric acid, &c. It is sometimes useful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, to be administered alternately with vinegar, and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms. MUCILAGINOUS SUBSrANCES, drinks, or injections of mucilaginous substances, should be resorted to in cases of poisoning with alkalies, especially when adminilstered alternately with vinegar. SOAP, common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk of hot water and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases of poisoning. It may be drank by tile cupfful,-a cupful every two, three, or four minutes, ill all cases where the white of an egg is indicated but does not produce sufficielt relief. Soap is particularly useful in all cases of poisoning with metallic substances, especially Arsenic, lead, &c. Likewise for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as: Sulphuriic acid, nitric acid, &c., with 22, f2_8 POISONS. alum, corrosive vegetable substances, castor oil, &c. Soap is hurtful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, such as: Lye, nitrate of silver, potash, soda, oleum tartari, ammonium muriaticum, (Salmiac) ammonium carbonicum, caustic or burnt lime, barytes, &c. SUGAR, or sugar-water, one of the bhst remedies in many cases. In case of poisoning with mineral acids or alkalies, it is best'to resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar is not hurtful. In cases of poisoning with metallic substances, various kinds of paint, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, &c., sugar is preferable to every other remedy, and not till the patient has been relieved by the sugar, administer the white of an egg or soapwater alternately with sugar. Sugar is likewise an excellent antidote in cases of poisoning with arsenic or corrosive vegetable substances. ~ 4. Of the other antidotes, use: AMMONIACAL GAS: For alcohol, bitter almonds, prussic acid. IRON-RUST: For Arsenic. ErsoM-SALTS: For alkaline poisons. CHARCOAL: For foul fish, foul meat, poisonous mushrooms, poisoning muscles, &c. KITCHEN-SALT: For nitrate of silver and powisonous wounds. MAGNESIA: For acids. SWEET-ALMOND OIL: For acids. POTASH: For acids. STARCH: For iodine. SPIRITS OF NITRE: For alkaline poisons and animlal substances. TEA: For adipic acid and poisonous honey. WINE: For noxious vaepours and poisonous mushreoms. ~ 5. The first thing we have to do, in treating a case of poisoning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to administer suitable antidotes. If we should Inot be able to ascertain what kind of poison had been swallowed, we should first administer the white of an egg and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee. If we should know that the poison is: a) A metallic substance, we have to give: first the white of an egg, sugar-water, soap-water, and afterwards, for the remaining ailraents: Sulph., which is a real antidote to metals. b) If acids and corrosive sllbstarnces, give: 1) Soap-water; 2) Magnesia dissolved in water; 3) Chalk-water; 4) Alkalies or potash dissolved in water, taking a tablespoonful as long as the vomiting continues. Afterwards mucilaginous drinks, and alternately Cogf. and Op. as homweopathic antidotes. POISONS. 259 As regards the remaining ailments, give Puls. for sulphuric acid; Bry. for muriatic acid; Acon. for the other acids, and especially crab-apple vinegar. If the skin should have been corroded by poisons, apply soap-water, or a watery solution of Caust.; and if corrosive substances should have got into the eyes, apply sweet almond-oil, or fresh unsalt-butter. c) For alkaline substances: 1) Vinegar and water in large quantities; 2) Lemon-juice. or acids from other fruits, diluted with much water; 3) Sour milk; 4) nMucilaginous drinks, or injections. Vinegar js hurtful in cases of poisoning with Barytes; but epsorn-salt dissolved in water, renders good service; afterwards, Camph. or Nitr. spir. The secondary effects of poisoning with potash, require: Coff. or Carb-v.; and those of poisoning with spirits of Ammonia, Hep. d) For the inhalation of noxious rapours: Sprinkle tile patient with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapours of a solution of chlore; afterwards, after the return of consciousness, give black coffee, or a few doses of Op. or Bell. (See: VArouRs.) e) For vegetable poisons: 1) Camphor, by olfaction, or sometimes a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2) Black coffee or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable juices. The best antidotes for corrosive vegetable juices, are soap-water and milk. f) For animal poisons: See the single poisons, such:as: Cantharides, adipic poison, stings of insects, fish-poison, poisonous honey, &c.-For toad-poison, or similar poisons, if they should have got into the stomach, give powdered charcoal, stirred up with oil or milk; or let the patient smell of the sweet spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in, and afterward give Ars.- If a poison of this kind should have got into the eye, give Acon. ~ 6. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poisonous animals, Hering proposes the following mode of treatment: For the bites of poisonous serpents, mad dogs, or other poisonous animals, apply heat at a distance, for which purpose any thing may be used which is handy at the time: a red-hot iron, incandescent piece of coal, or even a bumrning cioar; hold this as near as possible without burning the skin. The heat should be kept up uniformly, and should be concentrated upon the wound exclu — sively. The edges of the wound should be covered over with oil or.fat, and this should be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. If no oil or fat can be had, use soap, or even saliva. Wipe off' carefully every thing which is discharged from the wound. Continue the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, continue ,260 POLYPI. to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects of the poison commence to disappear. ~ 7. Atthe same time administer internal remedies. Inthe case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of salt-water from time to time, or a pinch of salt or powder, or a few pieces of garlic. If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a tablespoonful of wine or brandy every 2 or 3 minutes; continue this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every return of a paroxysm. If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be felt nearer the heart; if the wound, at the same time, should be bluish, checkered like marble and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo and diarrhea, give Ars. 30, and another dose in halt an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get worse, or only in 3 hours, if they should remain unchanged; if an improvement should set in after the first dose, do not repeat the medicine until the symptoms get worse again. If Ars., even if repeated, should have no effect, give Bell. In some cases Senega may be tried. The chronic sequelw of the bite of a serpent require: Phos-ac. and Mierc. ~ 8. If the bite should have been inflicted by a mad dog, apply heat at a distance as above, and for the remaining treatment see: HYDROPHOBIA. If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is not mad, but furious, give Hydrophobin; which is recommended by Hering. ~ 9. Wounds which have become poisonous in consequence of decayed animal matter or pus haviing got into them, require Ars. To guard against unpleasant consequences in case we should have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wotunds or ulcers, or men and animals infected with contagious diseases, we should hold our hands for ten or fifteen mainutes near as strong a heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash them with soap. The use of Chlore in such cases is well known.

Comp.: GoUT, PAIN, PAROXYSMS OF, CONDITIONS, CAUSES, WEATHER, &C. RUPIA. 273 RUPIA s. RHYPIA. ~ 1. Names have caused an immense confusion in the department of cutaneous diseases. Samuel Plumbe, Schaenlein and others, confound rupia and ecthyma; Hebra applies the name rLipia only to syphilitic herpes with pyramidal crusts; Bateman, who distinguishes R. simplex and R. proeminens, understands by it an eruption very similar to ecthyma with which other authors have either confounded rupia, or who, in its higher forms, have classed it with the corroding and spreading ulcers. According to Bateman, the primitive form of rupia is vesicular, never pustulous, as that of ecthymna, though it is very difficult to distinguish these eruptions from each other, when more developed, except perhaps by the fact that the crusts of rupia are broader and less firmly adhering than those of ecthyma. Hebra's rupia is the syphilitic form with conical scurfs, and is the same as Bateman's rupia proeminens; whereas Bateman's rupia simplex is identical with the so-called phagedenic blister of Hahnemann and a kind of phagedenic ulcers of older writers. ~ 2. According to these distinctions, we propose for rupia, or rupia (Schoanlein), one or more of the following remedies, or of those which have been indicated for ecthyma. b) For rupia simplex (Bateman), (the ulcus phagedenicum of some authors, or the bulla phagedenica of Hahnemaun: 1) Ars. cham. gra1ph. petr. sil. 2) Borax. calc. clem. hep. natr. nitr-ac. rhus. sep. squill. staph. c) For the rupia of I-ebra (rupia syphilitica or rupia proeminens of Bateman) Mercurius. This is not always sufficient; in one case I had to give: Alum. nitr-ac. clem. thuj. sassap., then Sulph., and lastly another dose of Merc., which effected a permanent and thorough cure. ~ 3.

Suppuration of membraneou-s tissues: Sil. 316 SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS. obscuration of sight, pains in the stomach, anguish, trembling and congestion of blood to the head or chest are present. P1osrPHORI ACID.: The paroxysms set in after a meal, Nux-v. being insufficient. VERATRUM: The paroxysms set in after the least motion, or are preceded by great anguish or despondency; or attended by spasms, lock-jaw, convulsive motion of the eyes and eyelids, &c. SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS. The principal remedy is Mercurius 3, a dose every day or every other day. After eight or tell days, (or even after two or three days,) red tips, being healthy granulations, can be perceived at the bottom of the ulcer, which continue to increase. During this time the ulcer sometimes bleeds and the edges become depressed. After the syphilitic character of the ulcer, that is, its lardaceous appearance, has disappeared, and the cicatrix should not form properly, or proud flesh should start up from the ulcer, Nitr-ac. can be given with excellent effect. NITRIC-AC. is likewise excellent for chancres that had been ineffectually treated with large doses of Mercury. It should not be given when the chancres heal of themselves, without Mercury. ~ 3. Every chancre which is not treated, or improperly treated with Mercury, becomes chronic after the lapse of from six to eight weeks, losing its ]ardaceous appearance and raised edges, and exhibiting a red surface with a hard bottom, and secreting a thin, bad pus. Nitr-ac. should not be given for such chancres, for it favours the breaking out of general syphilis, the symptoms of which are roseola on the abdomen, and pimples on the forehead and region of the stomach. The principal remedy is lMercurius, which should be continued, giving one dose every forty-eight hours until the chancre and the spots and pimples have disappeared. Should doubtful symptoms -develop themselves after the disappearance of the chancre, and should their true nature, whether mercurial or syphilitic, not be apparent, give: Aur. carbr. lach. nitr-ac. phos-ac. thij. ~ 4. Secondary chancres in the throat require the same treatment as the primitive chancre; sometimes a few doses of Thuja may be given, if the patient should have taken much Mercury. Buboes require Mercurius, the same as the chancre; but if the patient should have been drugged with large doses of Calomel, give Nitr-ac., or sometimes Aurum or Carb-veg. 318 TIN-TINEA CAPITIS. h) Greasy, oily: Alum. asa. caust. lyc. mang. puls. rhus. sabin. sil. val. i) Herby: N-vom. phos —ac. puls. sassap. veratr. k) Metallic, brassy, &c.: 1) Agn. amm. calc. coccul. cupr. lach. natr. natr-m. n-vom. rhus. 2) Alum. coloc. magn-aust. ran. sassap. seneg. sulph. zinc.

It might perhaps be desirable that we should finally succeed in prescribing certain remedies for certain forms of tinea, though I (Jahr) think that the constitutional symptoms of the patient are better indications for the selection of a remedy than the form of the eruption.

TYPHUS. ~ 1. Under this head we arrange all fevers with typhoid symptoms, such as: typhus gastricus, stupidus, versatitis, putridus, &c.; and even pneumo-typhus, for this is, after all, typhus affecting most particularly the lungs. Pneumonia may assume a typhoid character in consequence of excessive bleeding, but this would not be true pneumo-typh us. and the characteristic disorganization of the blood, as well as the regularity of the stages which we observe in true typhus, are wanting in such apparently typhoid diseases. In true typhus, whether putridus, petechialis, &c., Bry. and Rhus-t. are the principal remedies; if, however, neither of these remedies should be indicated by the symptoms, we may resort to: — ~ 2 The following remedies: 1) Bell. bry. hyos. lach. mere. ny-vom. phos-ac. rhus. straot. sulph. 2) Acon. arn. ars. campk. 334 TYPHUS. carb-v. chlam. chin. cocc. lyc. mur-ac. natr-m. nitr-sp. n-7mosch. op. puls. sulph. 3) Daph. gran. phos. sulph-ac. ~ 3.

Nux voM.: Dry cough from midnight till morning, with vomiting, anguish, suffocation, bluish face, bleeding from the mouth and nose. PULSATILLA: Moist cough from the first, with vomiting of mucus or of the ingesta, or mucous diarrhoea. ~ 3. In the spasmodic period, with volliting and bleeding from nose and mouth, the best remedies are: 1) Cin. cupr. dros. veratr.; or: 2. Bell. mere. CINA: During the paroxysm the children suddenly become rigid, and the paroxysm is followed by a gurgling noise from the throat to the abdomen. This remedy is a specific, when the children are affected with the usual worm-symptoms, such as: Cutting in the bowels, itching of the anus, desire to rub one's nose or to bore with the finger in it. —Merc. is likewise suitable for these symptoms. CUPRUM: The body becomes rigid during the paroxysm, with arrest of breathing and loss of consciousness; vomiting after the paroxysms, and rattling of mucus in the chest between the paroxysms. (After Cupr., Veratr. is frequently suitable.) DROSERA: Excessive violence of the paroxysms, wheezing cough; no fever, or else: high fever with chills and heat, thirst only after the chills, the sweat is rather hot'than cool, and sometimes sets in only at night; aggravation during rest, relief from motion. Drosera is generally the best remedy for fully developed whooping-cough, with vomiting of food or mucus, and bleeding from the mouth and nose. (After Dros., Veratr. is sometimes suitable.) VERATRUM: Dros. and Cupr. being insufficient, or sometimes before these medicines have been given, especially when the children are very feeble, with a sort of hectic fever, cold sweat, especially on the forehead; small, hurried and feeble pulse; great thirst; or the coughing causes an involuntary emission of urine, and pain in the chest and loins; between the parox WHOOPING-COUGH. 355 ysms the patients are in a comatose state, and care not either to move or converse; excessive weakness of the neck, so that the children are scarcely able to keep their head erect; attended with rash over the whole body, or only in the face and on the hands. ~ 4. The convulsive form of whooping-cough is not always fully developed, and it frequently happens that, at a period when the whooping-cough is epidemic, children are seized with a spasmodic cough which is without a great many of the characteristic symptoms of whooping-cough. The best remedies for such a cough are: Bell. bry.jod. merc. sulph. tart. BELLADONNA: Cerebral irritation, or the cough-is preceded by a painful sensation in the region of the stomach, with bleeding of the nose and mouth, or ecchymoses in the eye; or when other spasmodic symptoms, such as: tetanus, convulsive asthma, &c. are present; or when the paroxysms terminate in sneezing. BRYONIA: The paroxysms set in principally in the evening or at night, or after eating or drinking, with loss of breath, want of air, and vomiting of the ingesta. JODIUM: The cough is excited by tickling in the bronchi, with undulating inspirations during the paroxysms, which are preceded by great anguish, attended with great exhaustion, emaciation. LACTUCA: Violent cough, with vomiting after every paroxysm, but without any other characteristic symptoms. MERCURIUS: Cough only at night or only in the day-time, two paroxysms succeeding each other closely, and separated from the next two paroxysms by a longer interval of repose; or suitable for the real whooping-col:gh, when the children, during the vomiting, bleed profusely from nose and mouth, with profuse sweat at night and great nervousness; especially when the children are affected with worms and are liable to convulsions. (The last mentioned symptoms sometimes require Carb. veg. after Merc.) SULPHUR: The paroxysms are accompanied with vomiting, and do not yield to any of the above-mentioned remedies. TARTARUs: The vomiting is accompanied by diarrhmea, with great prostration, or the children vomit up their supper in the first hours after midnight. ~ 5. If the convulsive period have run its course, and catarrhal symptoms remain, use: Arn. *carb-veg. dulc. hep. puls. ARNICA: The children weep much after coughing, or the paroxysms are preceded by screams and crying, or they are caused by these screams. 356 WORM-AFFECTIONS. CARBO VEG.: The catarrhal cough frequently becomes spasmodic, or the vomiting keeps up though the other symptoms of whooping-cough have disappeared. DULCAMARA: The catarrhal cough is accompanied by profuse expectoration of mucus. HEPAR: The cough abates, but is hacking, dry and rough, with desire to vomit after the paroxysms, and frequent weeping. PULSATILLA: Moist cough, with easy expectoration of serous mucus. ~ 6. Although we have distinguished whooping-cough into stages, yet it must not be supposed that the remedies which have been respectively indicated for the different stages, cannot be used for any other; on the contrary, many of the remedies which we have mentioned for the spasmodic stage, may, in many cases, be required in the precursory stage, and vice versa. Let it be remembered, that the selection of a remedy does not depend upon the name of the disease, but upon the symptoms, the pathological character of the disease, and the state of the patient. Compare: BRONCHITIS, CRouP, LARYNGITIS, COUGH, &C. WORM-AFFECTIONS, HELMINTHIASIS. ~ 1.

HOMMEOPATHIC BOOKS. JAHR'S NEW MANUAL OF HOM(EOPATHIC PRACTICE, Edited, with annotations, by A. Gerald Hull, M. D., from the last Paris edition. This is the foburth American edition of a very celebrated work, written in French, by the eminent Homoesrpathic Profess or Jahr, and it is considered the best practical compendium of this extraordinary science that has yet been composed. After a very judicious and instructive introduction, the work presents a table of the Homceopathic Medicines, with their names in Latin, English, and German; the order in which they are to be studied, with their most important distinctions, and clinical illustrations of their symptoms and effects upon the various organs and functions of the human system.-The second volume embraces an elaborate analysis of the indications in disease, of the medicines adapted to cure, and a glossary of the technics used in the work, arranged so luminously as to form an admirable guide to every medical student. The whole system is here displayed with a modesty of pretension, and a scrupulosity in statement, well calculated to bespeak candid investigation. This laborious work is indispensable to the students:and practitioners of Homteopathy, and highly interesting to medi-,cal and scientific men of all classes. Repertory, 1 vol, bound. 1849. Price $3.
