PREFACE. 
 
 In the earlier years of my practice I had to 
 treat quite a number of patients afflicted with 
 Neuralgia ; it seemed to be almost like an epi- 
 demic. Being unable to obtain any but a 
 very few, not very characteristic, symptoms, I 
 made a study of the remedies having symptoms 
 of Neuralgia in their pathogenesis. The notes 
 then made were gradually added to, and I 
 found them often of great benefit not alone 
 in the treatment of Neuralgia, but of other 
 diseases as well; and when they had nearly 
 acquired the proportions of this work, con- 
 cluded to add appropriate clinical cases and 
 publish all, that others, who so desired, might 
 derive benefit from it as well. Special atten- 
 tion has been paid to give all the modalities, as 
 I have found myself and heard others in the 
 profession to express the opinion, that they 
 often point out the similimum. 
 
 I hope that the work may be a great help in 
 alleviating human suffering and to further the 
 cause of Homoeopathy. 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 In diseases accompanied with very acute, ex- 
 cruciating suffering, where the patient often 
 demands to be relieved of his torture at once, 
 and is on account of the exquisite pain often 
 unable to give symptoms whereby to select 
 the similimum, the beginner in Homoeopathy, 
 or he in whom sympathy, for the patient 
 overcomes the faith that is in him, is easily 
 tempted to use old school methods for the im- 
 mediate relief of the patient. But is the patient 
 really benefited thereby? Assuredly not ! Even 
 though relieved at first, the pain soon returns, 
 often with greater intensity, and, the symptoms 
 being changed, the difficulty of finding the 
 similimum is very much increased. . 
 
 Bnt if the physician has an efficient aid to 
 help him to ascertain the proper indicated 
 remedy, and has learned from experience 
 that it is the easiest, quickest and most 
 pleasant way to cure any curable disease, 
 he will not be tempted thus, for knowledge is 
 strength. This is my excuse for offering this 
 special aid in the cure of neuralgia as my con- 
 tribution for furthering the cause of pure 
 
INTRODUCTORY. 5 
 
 Homoeopathy ; and if every true Homoeopath 
 would in a similar manner give his mite in 
 furthering our cause, what a blessing would 
 soon accrue to suffering humanity and how 
 much easier would be the labor of the consci- 
 entious Homoeopath ! 
 
 There may be those in our ranks who think 
 that there are many unnecessary repeti- 
 tions and useless symptoms given. True, I 
 have endeavored to give all symptoms I could 
 find directly connected with the matter in 
 hand, but the repetitions will be found on 
 closer scrutiny to be only apparently such and 
 to vary somewhat in their modalities, location, 
 etc.; and as to the uselessness of any symp- 
 tom, how can anyone affirm such to be the 
 case ? Those frequently styled " useless chaff" 
 are named so because they do not occur very 
 frequently, but are they not therefore the 
 more peculiar and characteristic ? I have fre- 
 quently seen such rare symptoms lead to a 
 grand cure. 
 
 While collecting material for this work I 
 noticed in Dr. T. F. Allen's materia medica the 
 following symptom under Phosph.: "Sleep:" 
 * * * on falling asleep, * * * "auto- 
 matic movements, as in sexual intercourse !" and 
 thought at the time it would probably never be 
 found in actual practic ; yet, before the year 
 
6 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 passed, this very symptom led me to give 
 Phosphorus to a gentleman, set. 65 years, who 
 showed this symptom, been sick for fifteen 
 years, and it proved a brilliant cure ! 
 
 A failure being often more instructive than 
 an actual cure leads me to report the following : 
 
 The patient, set. 45, a wood carver, suffered 
 from tearing, shooting, agonizing pain in right 
 side of face and head, especially in right occi- 
 pital region, somewhat relieved by warmth and 
 rubbing (which he had done so continuously 
 that the painful spot there was denuded of 
 hair); were worse evenings and at night, pre- 
 venting sleep and accompanied with distortions 
 of the muscles of the face and an involuntary 
 upward jerking of the right arm and leg. 
 
 He had been for five weeks under the care of 
 a Homoeopath without any improvement. I 
 attended him for ten days also with negative 
 results. Then he had a small piece of a root 
 of a right molar tooth extracted, against my 
 advice, with almost instant relief, my dis- 
 missal following. The respite, however, was 
 short, the neuralgia returning with increased 
 fury. He was sent to a hospital, where after a 
 few weeks a deep right mastoid abscess showed 
 redness and swelling externally; this was 
 opened, the pus and detritus evacuated ; in due 
 
INTRODUCTORY. / 
 
 time the wound healed and the patient was 
 permanently relieved. 
 
 It is self-evident that not all symptoms and 
 modalities, which may occur in a case of neu- 
 ralgia, could be incorporated in this work as 
 that would require the whole materia medica. 
 Only such symptoms, are given as were 
 found in the works hereinafter referred to, 
 directly connected with the disease under con- 
 sideration ; the- study of the materia medica, 
 Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocketbook and 
 other aids, besides this monograph, must not 
 be neglected. In undeveloped cases, where no 
 symptoms can be discovered for the selection 
 of the remedy, it may be necessary to give one 
 of the following grand antipsorics to develop 
 them, as : Calc. c, Carbo veg., Lycopodium, 
 Phosphorus, Psorinum, Sepia, Sulphur; and to 
 antidote previous drugging : Arsenicum, China, 
 Natrum mur., or Nux vom., may be found need- 
 ful. 
 
 Such clinical cases have been introduced as 
 tended to illustrate the action of the remedy 
 and potency employed ; as to the potency best 
 suited in a given case of neuralgia, I am con- 
 vinced that the higher act best as a rule. 
 Though I would not condemn nor reject en- 
 tirely the low potencies, I must say that he 
 who has never used the higher and highest 
 
8 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 potencies has never seen all the beauties and the 
 grandeur of Homoeopathy. What music could 
 be produced on a violin if each string could be 
 caused to give forth but one note, instead of 
 several octaves, each note differing from the 
 preceding one on the same string in pitch and 
 volume, due to the change of the string in 
 length and tension. Is it not possible that a 
 a similar difference exists between the different 
 potencies of the same remedy, and therefore 
 the difference in the action? 
 
 The whole is arranged strictly alphabetical, 
 first the remedies and their symptoms with 
 clinical cases ; at the conclusion of this a very 
 complete Eepertory follows each part, which 
 for the sake of convenience is divided in six 
 parts, viz :

PART I 
 Facial Neuralgia, 
 
 WITH 
 
 Repertory and Clinical 
 
 Cases. 
 
SYMPTOMS OF NEURALGIA OF THE 
 FACE. 
 
 1. ACONITE. 
 
 Neuralgia of the trigeminus, left side, face red 
 and hot; restlessness, anguish, rolling about, 
 screaming. 
 
 Supra- and infra-orbital neuralgia, pains in- 
 tense, shooting, pressing, especially if in, or 
 over, the left eye, brought on by exposure to 
 cold dry winds, or sudden chilling of surface of 
 the body when overheated. 
 
 Drawing and pressure in cheeks, in upper 
 jaw, and forehead, increasing gradually in inten- 
 sity. Pains tingling, remittent and shifting, con- 
 tinued later very intense, with anaesthesia. 
 
 Sharp shooting, along the nerve, drawing, 
 tense, involving ear and parts about it ; pulsat- 
 ing, numb, or heavy feeling and swollen; pulse 
 small and rapid, anguish, fear of death; noise 
 startles him and is unbearable. The pains 
 often begin with a slight itching, tingling, creep- 
 ing and crawling; stitches and tingling here 
 and there ; pressure and shooting pains in eye 
 balls. 
 
20 ACONITE. 
 
 Neuralgia with congestions from dry cold 
 air or checked perspiration. 
 
 Neuralgia of upper and lower extremities; 
 sciatica. 
 
 Aggr. At night, from cold, motion and noise. 
 
 When a patient can give no symptoms for 
 the selection of the homoeopathic remedy — 
 "Aconite" will often relieve his intense suffer- 
 ing for a time, and thus enable him the better 
 to observe his symptoms, whereby to select the 
 curative remedy. Magnes. phos. is reported as 
 having a similar action, and is called by some 
 the homoeopathic morphia. 
 
 Clinical. 
 
 Case L Mrs. T., set. 65 years, had for a 
 number of weeks been suffering from neuralgia 
 on the left — but also to some extent on the 
 right side of the head and face; worse in left 
 temple and about the left eye and ear. An 
 old school doctor had dosed her with various 
 drugs, but for the last three days had given her 
 morphia, stating that it was the only thing 
 which would relieve her, yet her sufferings had 
 steadily increased. At night she was worse, 
 restless and anxious, could not get rid of the 
 idea that death was near. During the day it 
 was not so severe, and intermittent, she tried 
 then to do some work, but could finish nothing 
 
^ESCULUS HIPPOCASTANUM. 21 
 
 that she commenced. She would, for example, 
 begin to make the bed, but before that was 
 half done she would feel compelled, through 
 restlessness or an unexplainable something, to 
 leave it unfinished and go to sweeping, and 
 again leave the half swept floor to commence 
 preparing for luncheon, and so on through the 
 whole day, on account of which she feared that 
 she would become insane. 
 
 She received Aeon. 200 in aq. to take two 
 teaspoonfuls every hour. She began to im- 
 prove immediately and after two days' treat- 
 ment slept for several hours for the first time 
 since taken sick ; could continue her work 
 without going from one unfinished piece to 
 another, and after taking three or four powders 
 Aeon. 1000, dry on the tongue, for the next 
 two days, was restored to perfect health. — F. 
 H. L., 1894.

 neuralgic pains in fauces, temples, occiput and 
 frontal region, coming and going. 
 
 Pains darting from right to left across fore- 
 
22 AGARICUS MUSCARIUS. 
 
 head through temples, followed by flying pains 
 in epigastrium.

 so violent in left articulation of lower jaw, he 
 could scarcely open his mouth. 
 
 Electric like pains in left malar bone with 
 soreness to touch, drawing, lancinating in right 
 cheek ; fulgurant pains ; pains as if pierced by

 coldnes of head and face ; drawing, stitching, 
 shifting from side to side. 
 
 Aggr. At night, mornings, during repose, 
 after eating, from cold air, on awaking. 
 
 Amel. From motion, walking. 
 
 4. AGNUS CASTUS. 
 Tearing, pressing, deep in right ramus of 
 lower jaw ; rending, tearing under alveoli of 
 
AILANTHUS GLANDULOSA. 23

 ness to touch. 
 
 Aggr. Evenings and from motion. 
 
 5. AILANTHUS GLANDULOSA. 
 
 Electric like thrill through left side of head,

 Case L A lady, set. 46, in whom the menses 
 had been absent for several months, but with 
 nosebleed as vicarious menstruation, had neu- 
 ralgia of left side of the head. The patient at 
 first described the pains as coming on sudden- 
 ly, lasting for an indefinite time, and leaving

 ceived Belladonna, but without relief. Finally 
 she stated that the pains were worse about 1 
 A. M., that they were like hot needles, and

 Case I. On September 15, 1885, I was sent 
 for with strict injunctions to bring along my 
 vial of morphia and injector. As I am happily 
 not possessed of these inventions of the evil 
 one, I went without them and found the 
 patient suffering excruciating pains in the face 
 and head, which were greatly aggravated by 
 
BELLADONNA. 29 
 
 the least jar or movement, and which came on 
 "like a flash. " I immediately called for a 
 glass and dissolved a few pellets of Bell. cm. 
 (Skinner), and left with an assurance of speedy 
 relief. This man had been subject to such 
 attacks for many years, under allopathic treat- 
 ment, which usually consisted of the hypo- 
 dermic injection of morphia and generally 
 with lulling of the pain. But the attacks 
 were growing much more frequent and increas- 
 ing in severity : the old story. 
 
 He told me next morning that nothing had 
 ever helped him so quickly. On November 
 23d he called for some more of that medicine, 
 and said, that while he had not prior to the 
 September attack gone longer than two weeks 
 without pain, he had had no indications 
 of it since then, about ten weeks. The present 
 attack had been quite as sudden, although less 
 severe than the other. A few doses of Bell. cm. 
 again acted quickly, for I met him two hours 
 later going out for an evening's amusement. 
 On December 17th he had a few twinges of 
 pain at once helped by the same remedy, and 
 he has remained free from it ever since, now 
 three months. — Wm. Jefferson Guernsey, M. 
 D., "Horn. Physician," 1886, Vol. VI., p. 172. 
 
 Case II. This patient, a practicing dentist 
 of Frankford, consulted me some months ago , 
 
30 BELLADONNA. 
 
 then suffering from neuralgia, and asked for a 
 prescription which he knew would be Homoeo- 
 pathic. For the past eight years he has not 
 known a well day, so severe has been his suffer- 
 ing that Profs. Garretson and Lewis, each in 
 turn, has unsuccessfully tried to cure him by 
 the extraction of branches of the trifacial 
 nerve. Nor did the patient stop at butchery, 
 but sought the treatment of two prominent 
 Homoeopaths of our town, and all in turn failed 
 to relieve what afterward proved so easy. 
 
 The pains were sharp, cutting in right 
 superior and inferior maxillary region, coming 
 and going suddenly. Of course Bell, was the 
 remedy to cure on account of the character of 
 the pains. Of this T gave him six powders of 
 cm. potency, and the patient has not had a 
 return of the paroxysm, and to this day is free 
 from pain — G. V. Allen, M. D., Phila., " Horn. 
 Phys.," August, 1886, Vol. VI., p. 306. 
 
 Case III. A young nurse girl, subject to ter- 
 rible neuralgic pains in the right side of face, 
 of which she had suffered frequent attacks for 
 over a year. They came suddenly at night, 
 waking her from sleep, began and centred in 
 a hollow lower bicuspid — a tearing, beating 
 and bursting, extending to the ear and right 
 side of head, causing great agony, screaming, 
 
BELLADONNA. 31 
 
 moaning and crying. A little relief was ob- 
 tained by hot applications. 
 
 A peculiar symptom was relief by burrowing 
 or pushing that side of the head into a pillow, 
 and pressing on a hard surface. 
 
 Being of a Pulsatilla temperament, with cor- 
 responding symptoms, a dose of the remedy 
 gave no relief after twenty minutes. She got 
 one dose of Bell. 200, which relieved at once, 
 and after three minutes she went into a long 
 and sound sleep, from which she awoke with 
 only a little soreness. Several days after an 
 extensive aphtha appeared on inside of cheek 
 and on gums about the affected teeth. Several 
 times there was a threatened return of the pain, 
 but a dose of Bell, promptly stopped it. The 
 patient had been accustomed to suffer in similar 
 attacks for a whole night under palliative 
 treatment, and scarcely believed she was cured 
 except by miracle. — Thomas C. Bunting, M. D., 
 East Mauch Chunk, Pa. (Horn. Phys., Decem- 
 ber, 1894, p. 390.) 
 
 Case IV. Mrs. G,, of Brooklyn, had suffered 
 severely from facial neuralgia, mostly on the 
 left side. She had been treated by a quasi 
 Homoeopath for three months, but the only 
 relief she had experienced was from the last 
 remedy (Nux v. #), and even that was very 
 slight. Noise and light made her feel very 
 
32 BERBERIS VULGARIS, 
 
 much worse ; also if she attempted to eat, espe- 
 cially when the food touched the teeth. The 
 whole face was extremely sensitive to touch, 
 she could not even wipe it lightly with a hand- 
 kerchief; the cheeks had a bluish-red color 
 and she was very restless at night on account 
 of the pain. I sent her four powders of Bell, 
 lm., with instructions to stop the medicine if 
 she felt better. She took all of the powders as 
 directed, one powder on arising in the morning, 
 which improved her very much ; when after 
 fourteen days of waiting on the remedy the 
 improvement ceased, I sent her three powders 
 of Bell. 50m., which completely cured her. — F. 
 H. L., 1889. 
 
 Case V. Lena 6., set. 14. Neuralgia under 
 right angle of jaw, worse during the day, sleeps 
 well at night ; cannot chew solid food, but can

 of Bell. 200 cured.— F. H. L., 1895. 
 
 19. BERBERIS VULGARIS. 
 
 Tearing and stitches in cheek and jawbones. 
 Squeezing, rending and stinging pain in facial 
 bones, and in upper and lower jaw, as if from 
 a blow, extending to temples. 
 
BISMUTHUM NITRICUM. 33 
 
 Clinical. 
 
 Case I. A postal clerk was taken with pain 
 in his neck on right side. The pain began near 
 the right mastoid process, shooting like light- 
 ning to the point of the shoulder and upper 
 arm. He had to keep perfectly still and ex- 
 tend his head to the left, putting all the 
 muscles on the right side of the neck on the 
 stretch, and keeping them that way. The 
 least motion or relaxing of the muscles would 
 cause a sudden cramp and he would cry out. 
 I gave Bell, and Bry., but a close study of the 
 case brought to light the similimum, which 
 was : Berberis vulg. cm. I put one dose on 
 the tongue, and when I called again in half an 
 hour he could move his head in any direction, 
 without exciting the cramping of the muscles.

 Case I. Mrs. J. F., set. 25, had been suffering 
 for many weeks with neuralgia on right side of 
 face, intermittent in character. The pains 
 were slight at first, seemed to be in the teeth 
 and caused by a decayed tooth. As the pains 
 gradually increased in severity she had the 
 tooth filled, and, no relief following, finally ex- 
 tracted, which, however, greatly aggravated 
 the pains, which were now sticking, gnawing, 
 darting from place to place, often accompanied 
 with chilliness ; cold applications relieved them 
 somewhat 
 
 Puis, in various potencies with Sach. lac. 
 was given with little or no improvement. 
 Later, when calling one day, she stated that 
 she had very often a sensation as if wind blew 
 into her right ear, when the pain would soon 
 become worse and she could hardly eat, as an- 
 other tooth, a molar in left lower jaw, seemed 
 to be loose and pain her every time she tried to

 chew on that side. I now gave her four powders 
 of Caust. 200, to dissolve one in four teaspoon- 
 fuls of water and take one teaspoonful every 
 two hours, until she saw some improvement, 
 then stop. She took three powders and needed 
 no more.— F. H. L., 1892.

 Case I. A girl, aged 20, for two weeks has 
 had severe shooting pains on left side of face. 
 They recurred several times daily, lasting 
 
CEDRON. 41 
 
 about an hour, and were aggravated by heat, 
 and better when she moved about. Gelsemium 
 lx and Arsenicum 3x gave slight relief. Next 
 Cedron lx was ordered. This cured the pains 
 in a few days, and was continued for a week, 
 after which there was no return. 
 
 Case II. A woman, aged 24, had endured 
 continuous pain for a week on left side of face 
 and head. The pains were shootiug and were 
 made worse by hot applications. No teeth 
 seemed to be involved. At first Gelsemium lx 
 was tried with transient effect. Next Cedron 
 lx was ordered and continued for a week, with 
 complete relief of the pain, which did not 
 return. 
 
 Case III. Mrs. A., aged 30, for a month has 
 suffered from severe attacks of left-sided facial 
 neuralgia, recurring every night and morning, 
 and sometimes continuing throughout the 
 night, but not during the day. The pains are 
 dull and gnawing and aggravated by warmth. 
 Cimicifuga lx at first relieved, bub soon lost its 
 effect. Cedron lx was then tried and continued 
 for two weeks, during which the pain disap- 
 peared and has not returned,— Monthly Horn.

 Case I. Chas. P., a tailor, came to see me at 
 the dispensary, having suffered for along time 
 from facial neuralgia. Had been treated by 
 several old school doctors, but each one of them 
 after treating him for some time with remedies 
 and liniments, with hardly any relief, told him 
 that he would have to be operated on to have the 
 diseased nerve cut out, as it was the only way 
 he could ever be cured. This was to him always 
 a signal to try another doctor, as he did not 
 relish the idea of an operation. He had been 
 so long unable to work and had spent all his 
 savings for doctors and drugs that he was now 
 compelled to try the free dispensary. 
 
 The pain was entirely on the left side of the 
 face and neck. It would come and shoot 
 through the face like lightning, e pecially in 
 the house, if he tried to sew on the machine, 
 or the children made any noise. The only 
 relief he could get was by walking slowly about 
 in the open air. He could only sleep after ap- 
 plying cloths, wet with cold water, to the left 
 side of the face and head ; when these got warm 
 the pains would awaken him, but on reapply- 
 ing them he could go to sleep again. 
 
CHINA OFFICINALIS. 47 
 
 The relief from cold, open air and slow 
 motion decided me to give him Puis, cm., but 
 all in vain. 
 
 I then assured him he must be mistaken 
 about his symptoms, for, if correct, I thought 
 he ought to have been cured, but he persisted 
 that he had given his symptoms correctly and 
 continued : " If I only touch my nose or cheek 
 ever so slightly, thus," suitiug the action to 
 the word, " I can bring on that pain," and the 
 expression of his face and his groans showed 
 that he had been more than successful. He 
 was still worse from any noise indoors, heat, 
 lying on the left side of the face and from eat- 
 ing ; better from fresh, open air, walking 
 slowly and from cold in general. Stool daily, 
 but almost black, urine dark yellow. 
 
 I now gave him China 200, to take one 
 powder mornings and evenings. After three 
 days he returned, saying : u I have had no more 
 neuralgia since taking the second powder, and 
 have slept well every night since without the 
 cold cloths. You are the thirteenth doctor who 
 has treated me for this, but the only one who 
 has cured me." — F. H. L., Med. Adv., Jan.,

 ing up over eye along superior and inferior 
 maxillary, seeming deep in the bone structure. 
 Aggravated by slightest touch, by thinking and 
 talking about it, by cold, in damp weather, 
 by mental exertion or excitement. Relieved 
 by heat, by hard pressure, by lying down. 
 Very nervous, has frequent pains in different 
 parts of the body, possessing the same charac- 
 teristics as neuralgia. Frequent headaches, 
 takes cold easy, very despondent, gloomy fore- 
 bodings of the future ; fears he will lose his 
 mind and become insane ; imagines everyone 
 knows he is becoming an imbecile ; cannot read 
 for any length of time, it makes the eyes 
 watery, causes the head to> ache and become 
 tired and starts up the pain in the face. 
 
 His history is that of an old soldier, exposed 
 to malaria and the vicissitudes of camp-life, ir- 
 regular eating, etc. Had old-fashioned chill 
 and fever and ate quinine by the teaspoonful. 
 Received all manner of treatment for the pain 
 with only temporary relief, and finally settled 
 back upon the old and faithful friend (?) quinine. 
 
 Every part of his body gave evidence of sup- 
 pression of symptoms by the daily use of 
 quinine, and upon deductions laid down in the 
 Organon, that we should treat the last condi-

 tion first and proceed backward in regular 
 order, I commenced with his present condition. 
 On December 10th ? 1892, he received one dose 
 of Chinin. sulph. cm., dry on his tongue, and 
 S. L. every two hours. No improvement was 
 noticed for three days ; neither was there much 
 of an aggravation until the night of the 13th, 
 when he awoke feeling very cold. 
 
 Thinking the fire had gone out, he started 
 to get some more clothes for his bed, but when 
 getting out of bed he became so cold that he put 
 his clothes on, even to his overcoat, and went 
 to find a good fire. After becoming thoroughly 
 heated and putting more clothes on his bed he 
 again retired, only to shake worse than ever. 
 He then realized that he was having the 
 hardest chill he had known sincejie was in the 
 army. The next morning he reported his con- 
 dition and said he must have some quinine or 
 whisky. I told him that I could not give him 
 either, but explained the reason for his experi- 
 ence and gave him some more S. L. The one 
 dose of Chin, sulph. is gradually making a new 
 man of the sufferer. He has had but the one 
 dose, given on December 10th, and continues 
 faithfully taking his medicine. — Med. Adv., 
 Vol. 30, March, 1893, p. 41. (The Clinic.) 
 
 Case II. Mrs. E., set. 65, had been treated 
 during five or six years, at different times, by 
 
CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 51 
 
 two Homoeopaths for torpid liver ! During all 
 this time she had not had a natural evacuation, 
 the stool had to be washed out by an enema : 
 there had not been the least desire for stool 
 nor any urging. She had become very feeble 
 and emaciated, and suffered frequently and 
 severely from neuralgia on right side of face, 
 which the treatment of her physician did not 
 seem to relieve. An allopath being called in 
 gave her a lengthy prescription, containing Qui- 
 nine, Strychnine, Aloe, Podoph., Euonymus, 
 etc., to be made into pills to take two, mornings 
 and evenings. The first dose aggravated her 
 so much that she did not take the second dose 
 until the following morning ; this making her 
 still worse the pills were abandoned and I was 
 called. I found her delirious, temperature 
 104°, but could obtain no symptoms. Nux vom. 
 200, given at bedtime, produced a favorable 
 change by next morning, but in the evening 
 neuralgia of right side of head and face ap- 
 peared, with symptoms of Bell., and this soon 
 relieved the neuralgia, as also another attack 
 a month later. During the interval and after 
 the second attack she was treated according to 
 symptoms, but after two months the neuralgia 
 made its appearance again ; this time on the 
 left side of the head, face and neck, with ex- 
 actly the same symptoms, but Bell, gave no

 relief whatever, she was rather worse in the 
 afternoon. Mrs. E. then told me that the 
 slightest touch would not only aggravate the 
 pain, but actually reproduce it in its worst 
 form if touched when she was free from it. 
 Chinin. sulph. covering all the symptoms, in- 
 cluding the reproduction of pain by touch, 
 which is not found under Bell., I gave her a 
 dose of Chinin. sulph. 45m., in water, to take 
 two teaspoonfuls every two hours, which gradu- 
 ally improved her, so that she was free from 
 pain in four hours and never had another attack 
 of neuralgia.— F. H. L., 1893.

 Clinical. 
 
 Case I. Mr. J. M., a gentleman, aged 72, 
 spare and thin, of medium height, by occupa- 
 tion an architect, was attacked in September, 
 1885, by a violent neuralgia of the infra-orbital 
 nerve on the right side. He is a plain liver, 
 using neither tea or coffee, tobacco or stimu- 
 lants of any kind, very regular and methodical 
 in all his habits, and had for years enjoyed 
 most excellent health, hence was at a loss to 
 account for this attack. He felt as well as 
 usual, no inconvenience or pain whatever, 
 until on opening his mouth to take the first 
 mouthful of breakfast he was suddenly at- 
 tacked by severe, lightning-like pain, extend- 
 ing from the infra-orbital foramen to the bicus- 
 
84 MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 
 
 pid tooth. On closing the mouth and applying 
 hot water the severity of the pain was miti- 
 gated and he was comparatively free, unless he 
 attempted to eat or speak. 
 
 Under Bell. 200 the pains gradually de- 
 creased in severity and he could partake of 
 liquid food, but for several weeks was unable 
 to chew solid food. His teeth (at 72) are sound 
 and have never troubled him, and a careful in- 
 spection by the dentist failed to detect the 
 cause of the pain in a disease of fang or 
 alveolus. 
 
 In February, 1886, as a result of facing a 
 severe cold wind while walking, he had another 
 attack of neuralgia on right side of face, worse 
 on attempting to eat, from touch, cold water 
 and when walking against the wind, could not 
 bear the least cold air. Aconite 30 now gave 
 very prompt relief, and in a few days he was 
 himself again. 
 
 A few weeks later another attack on same 
 side of face appeared, decidedly intermittent 
 in character, coming on promptly at 6 and 
 gradually disappearing at 10 P. M. 
 
 This was attended by great aggravation from 
 touch, could not wash the right side of the face, 
 even the slightest touch of the whiskers was 
 sufficient to bring on severe lightning-like, 
 stabbing or, as he expressed it, " nipping " 
 pains. 
 
MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 85 
 
 From the early morning aggravation, the 
 periodicity and the extreme sensitiveness to 
 touch I gave him Chinin. sulph. 200 with grad- 
 ual relief. But as the severity of the pains in 
 the face disappeared, the right deltoid muscle 
 become affected ; not only was it very painful, 
 with entire inability to raise the arm, but nearly 
 paralyzed the arm ; could neither feed nor dress 
 himself. 
 
 Rhus t., Sanguinaria, Plumbum, Ferrum and 
 Tarantula as the indications appeared to call 
 for were successively exhibited with only par- 
 tial relief. The shoulder was still very lame 
 and painful, and the face more than occasion- 
 ally grumbled. The next attack, a few weeks 
 later, had the following peculiar symptoms: 
 Pains, supra- and infra-orbital, extending to all 
 the front teeth of right side, intermittent, 
 stabbing, nipping, lightning-like and extremely 
 sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and press- 
 ure, coming and going suddenly and attended 
 by marked prostration and profuse night- 
 sweats. When the pains in the face were most 
 severe the shoulder was comparatively free 
 and vice versa. No thirst, appetite normal, 
 but obstinate constipation. Stool hard, small 
 balls, difficult to expel, and no inclination 
 whatever. Here was a totally different picture 
 and evidently a difficult totality to cover. 
 
86 MAGNESIUM PH0SPH0RICUM. 
 
 Magnes. phos. 200 promptly gave relief; not 
 only the terrible neuralgic pains but the lame 
 shoulder as well have remained entirely free 
 to date. The doctor was relieved as well as 
 the patient at the happy termination of the 
 case. It was one of the worst cases I have met 
 for years. A slight nipping returned in March, 
 1888. He came in and asked for another dose 
 of the same medicine, remarking: "Make it as 
 strong as you can, doctor." 
 
 Dr. Pyrell had in the meantime potentized it 
 for me, so I gave him a dose of the cm., the 
 strongest I had, and he has had no pains since. 
 
 Case II. A lady aged 26, of dark complexion, 
 dark hair and eyes, seven months advanced in 
 her first pregnancy, had suffered terribly for 
 four months from neuralgia of right supra- 
 orbital region. When she came under my 
 observation the pains were pressing, band-like, 
 at times extending into jaws and teeth, worse 
 at night, and confined entirely to the right side 
 of the face. A few doses of Chelidoneum gave 
 relief for three weeks, when it returned in the 
 following manner: pains darting, lightning-like, 
 intermittent, suddenly appearing and disap- 
 pearing, relieved by hot cloths and pressing or 
 lying on the affected side. 
 
 Magnes. phos. 200 now gave prompt and per- 
 manent relief, and with it disappeared an

 obstinate and annoying constipation, which 
 despite several well-selected remedies had per- 
 sistently followed her during her entire gesta- 
 tion.— H. C. Allen, M. D., Med. Adv., 1889, Vol. 
 23, pp. 400-402. 
 
 Case III. On February 5th, 1890, Mrs. D. 
 M. S., a tall, large woman, obese and phleg- 
 matic, 35 years of age, had neuralgia one week, 
 pains in right temple, cheek and supra-orbital 
 region. They came suddenly and disappeared 
 suddenly, remaining, however, severe for a 
 period varying from two to three minutes to 
 two hours. In character they were tearing 
 predominantly, but occasionally shooting and 
 throbbing. No conditions of aggravation or 
 amelioration had been observed. While giving 
 her symptoms she was unable to restrain her 
 tears, which fell rapidly without sobbing, a 
 quiet tearfulness. She was apprehensive of a 
 long and painful illness, which was probably 
 due to a former experience, since some years 
 before she had, on a number of occasions, in 
 spite of the utmost exertions of her physician, 
 two of our ablest and most conscientious thera- 
 peutists, suffered for weeks with similar at- 
 tacks before she was relieved. 
 
 I gave her Bell. 200. February 7th (two 
 days later), a careful re-examination failed to 
 show the slightest change in her condition, 
 
88 MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 
 
 nor could I obtain further indications for treat- 
 ment, except that she thought her pains were 
 more frequent in the afternoon, and again 
 after midnight. She received a dose of Arseni- 
 cum, high, and on the next day, February 8, 
 at 10 A. M., her condition was still unchanged. 
 Bear in mind, I do not say unimproved but 
 unchanged. Now, for the first time I dis- 
 covered that the pains were relieved by exter- 
 nal heat, for when I saw her she lay in bed, 
 with the painful side of her face upon a hot 
 waterbag, and this she said was the only thing 
 which gave her any comfort during the 
 paroxysms of suffering. 
 
 The indications, now reinforced by this 
 characteristic condition of amelioration, were : 
 Tearfulness, apprehension of long: and painful 
 sickness, pains in right temple, forehead and 
 cheek, intermittent in character with suddenness 
 of onset and dizziness, tearing or shooting or 
 throbbing. Relief from external heat. She re- 
 ceived a single dose of Magnesium phos., cm. 
 F., dry on her tongue. About an hour later, 
 by far the most severe attack of neuralgia, 
 which she experienced, set in suddenly, re- 
 mained for nearly or quite half an hour with 
 unremitting severity, and then suddenly and, 
 as it proved, finally disappeared. For since 
 this time she has not the faintest pain in these

 and relieved by heat. Magnes. phos. gave

 Case 1. Mr. L. A., of Oswego, N. Y., aged 
 76, eyes blue, 160 pounds, bilious tempera- 
 ment, has neuralgia. Soreness, lightning-like, 
 and at times zig-zag flashes along the tract of 
 the fifth nerve. Attacks are provoked by a 
 cessation or lessening of the coryza, in damp 
 cold weather, or indigestion. They are accom- 
 panied with dysphagia, aphasia once, and 
 drawing of facial muscles to the right side. 
 The aphasia was temporary, lasting but a few 
 hours. The soreness and pain are aggravated 
 by touch, eating, talking, fatigue, riding; they 
 are jabbing, sticking and are aggravated by 
 deglutition, empty or of hot water or food. 
 Swallows solid food easiest and with least- 
 pain. The coryza still persists and comes on 
 early, at 4 A. M.. The symptoms of coryza are 
 a profuse, thin, watery, odorless, hot discharge 
 from both nostrils, and from eyes, with sneez- 
 ing as a starter. When the coryza or catar- 
 rhal symptoms are worse he has less facial 
 neuralgia, and vice versa. 
 
NATRUM MURIATICUM. 95 
 
 His sight is ordinarily good, also hearing. 
 Taste is blunted, and it is hard to distinguish 
 flavors. The sense of smell is fair. The coryza 
 is worse from 4 to 8 A. M.; also better from 
 warmth. The tic douloureux better from 
 warmth, quietude, sleep and pressing over the 
 puncta ; worse from swallowing, riding, jar- 
 ring, eating, drinking; comes on at any time. 
 For some time he has had sleeplessness, is rest- 
 less at night, changes position often, gets up 
 and walks about. Slept very well until he 
 commenced to take morphine. Under these 
 circumstances of late he goes to sleep at 3 A. 
 M.; has been taking " McMunn's Elixir of 
 Opium." 
 
 Temperature normal, pulse quite fair. When 
 the tic douloureux is aggravated he has dys- 
 phagia, swallowing solids best, the obstruction 
 seeming to be of the nature of a tumor, more 
 to the left, and he has a profuse perspiration 
 that gives no relief. 
 
 October 31st. Mr. A. has been improving 
 since the first, has far less neuralgia, less sen- 
 sitive to touch, eats and swallows better, sleeps 
 well, has better circulation, but he has slight 
 returns when the weather is damp, or from 
 errors of diet, fat, rich food. 
 
 Janury 10, 1894, and May 2, >94. Mr. A. 
 came to-day and stated as follows : The tic

 douloreux is better, had but two attacks when 
 in Connecticut and but two or three since. 
 Has some pain in left malar bone, a sore pain, 
 has better power to swallow, to eat, to smooth 
 his whiskers, to press the parts. Has good 
 appetite and digestion, only occasional disturb- 
 ance after meals, fats disagree. Has 40 per 
 cent, less of coryza than before, can smell 
 better, blow the nose better and with less sore- 
 ness than before. Has fewer u tics " but some 
 neuralgia in occiput and in upper neck, has no 
 pain at night. Some soreness of stomach after 
 eating, something like an hour or so after a 
 meal. 
 
 Four prescriptions of Natrum mur. cm., two 
 powders each, substantially cured the patient.

 Case I. On January 4, 1893. Rev. Mr. 
 
 was referred to me by Dr. S. F. Wilcox for my 
 opinion as to the advisability of evulsion of the 
 fifth nerve for a frightfully severe neuralgia. 
 
 The history was as follows: Some ten years 
 ago he had a second molar tooth extracted 
 from upper jaw, right side. Bleeding con- 
 tinued for eight days; there was some slight 
 pain on touching the vacant space and on 
 washing the face. He had a bad attack of 
 neuralgia on that side in about three months. 
 it lasted a short while. This was repeated. 
 and the attacks gradually grew longer in dura- 
 tion and more frequent. Two years ago he 
 underwent the operation of resection of the 
 maxillary branch of the nerve at the foramen 
 at the malar bone, and experienced relief from 
 pain during the following summer. The trouble. 
 however, returned in the autumn or early 
 winter, and now he has no relief from pain. 
 7 
 
98 NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 
 
 At present the pain is worse after midnight. 
 Any movement of jaws or tongue will aggra- 
 vate existing pain, or bring on a frightful 
 paroxysm. A drink of cold water aggravates, 
 while hot water sometimes relieves. Is some- 
 what easier by lying down, but is intensely 
 restless, cannot lie still at night. There is no 
 thirst, feet and hands always cold. Bowels 
 regular, but has piles, which get worse when 
 the neuralgia is worse. He could not open his 
 mouth to show me his tongue? and it was ex- 
 tremely difficult to understand his speech. 
 Upon asking how he managed to preach, he 
 said he did but little of that, and that after he 
 got excited he could open his mouth somewhat 
 and so make the necessary announcements to 
 his congregation or preach a short sermon. 
 
 Arsenicum 30 was prescribed. In ten days 
 he returned, saying that his nights were not so 
 bad, but that there was no other essential im- 
 provement. 
 
 I could now examine his tongue and found it 
 coated in its posterior two-thirds with a thick 
 yellowish-brown layer. As this colored coating 
 of the tongue is given by Schussler as a char- 
 acteristic for Natrum sulphuricum, I was 
 anxious to get some more and better indica- 
 tions for that remedy, and upon further inquiry 
 J found that the trouble began when he was 
 
NITRI SPIRITUS DULCIS. 99 
 
 living in a very damp house, the walls of which 
 were frequently moist, and that the earlier 
 attacks always came after he had been down in 
 the cellar. On this indication I gave Natrum 
 sulph. 6, to be taken in water, with instructions 
 to cease taking it as soon as any improvement 
 was noted. The result was marvelous and he 
 got practically well, and in the course of a few 
 months took a parish in another part of the 
 country. Had not the operation been per- 
 formed on the nerve I feel sure that the cure 
 would have been absolute before he left. 
 
 My chief object in recording this case is to 
 urge upon the practitioners of Homoeopathy to 
 seek always for the cause of the trouble in 
 chronic disease, and to prescribe according to 
 the causal indications, where such exists in the 
 materia medica. This is the only short cut 
 that I know of in selecting the remedy. —

 sundown. The severest spells are usually 
 in the forenoon and afternoon ; sometimes 
 attacks are semilateral ; exceeding restlessness 
 with the pain ; better walking and moving in the 
 open air ; worse in wet weather and when over- 
 worked. Thinks attacks were brought on by 
 mental application and long hours of sedentary

 Case I. Mrs. T., set. 40, spare habit, but very 
 active and industrious, had been several times 
 under my care troubled with restless, fidgety 
 feet, and promptly cured by Belladonna, Am- 
 nion, carb., Zinc, as they seemed indicated by 
 her symptoms, nor had she suffered from this 
 trouble for the past year, when in the spring 
 of ? 94 she had an attack of facial neuralgia on 
 left side, extending to left ear and temple and 
 left parietal region. 
 
 Before the attack, the feet became cold, then 
 this sensation of cold would spread upward 
 over whole body, until it reached especially 
 severe the left side of head and face : then the 
 
NUX VOMICA. 103 
 
 neuralgia began with crawling, tingling over 
 left eyebrow, then shooting, tearing pains ex- 
 tended thence over the whole left side of the 
 head ; she was very anxious and restless during 
 the attack, going from couch to bed, applying 
 hot cloths, but all without relief; she had a 
 fear of the future, a foreboding as if some great 
 calami ty was before her, had a pressure as of 
 a hard lump in the stomach, and very much 
 anno}^ed by and sensitive to noise. 
 
 Aeon. 200 seemed to cure, inasmuch as she 
 was free from pain for 48 hours, but then the 
 neuralgia returned, very much worse, other- 
 wise unchanged, and Aeon, in varying poten- 
 cies proved unavailing. On the third day 
 after its reappearance she gave me the follow- 
 ing additional symptoms, which she had for- 
 gotten to mention before : With the appear- 
 ance of the pain, the nose became obstructed 
 with pain at the bridge of nose, and clear 
 water running from left eye and nostril. The 
 pain was worse from 4 to 7 A. M. and from 9 
 A. M. to 2 or 3 P. M., but she was never en- 
 tirely free from it. 
 
 Xux vom. 200 in aqua, a teaspoonful every 2 
 hours, completely cured the neuralgia, and she 
 has had no return of the trouble since. F. H.

 ear along the side of the neck and under the 
 eye, and were always made w r orse by putting 
 anything cold in the mouth. To the question, 
 if the pain was relieved by putting anything 
 warm in the mouth she answered : " Oh, no ; 
 that makes it a great deal worse." The pains 
 although mostly confined to the right side of 
 the face were moving about frequently, often 
 after leaving the head appear in the left leg or 
 heel ; she was always chilly, easy moved to 
 tears, and felt decidedly better in the open air. 
 I gave her Puis. 30, two powders, to dissolve 
 one in four teaspoonfuls of water, and to take 
 one every two hours. The neuralgia was cured 
 with the first powder and remained so ; she 
 had no need of the second. — F. H. L.

 Some time in 1892, this lady told me that 
 when young she had suffered from the same 
 kind of neuralgia in same location and with 
 same concomitants for over a year at a time, 
 under eclectic treatment, of which she had still 
 a memento, as the lower jaw on that (left) side

 had been dislocated from the pain, and re- 
 mained so ever since; and on examining 
 same found the condoyle of the lower jaw in 
 front of, and a little lower than its glenoid 
 cavity, protruding like a small marble under 
 the skin.

 Pain increases and decreases with the sun at 
 the height of the attack, at noon, she groans 
 and is very restless. Pain is worse from cold, 
 better from warm applications. She had this 
 pain thirteen years ago, but an attack of the

 Paroxysms of facial neuralgia, brought on 
 by riding in the wind and from excitement; 
 menstrual nisus nearly always attended with 
 neuralgic pains of greater or less severity. 
 When wind is the exciting cause, the paroxysm 
 comes on with a chill; when excitement is the 
 cause, it begins with trembling. The pains are 
 better from pressure, being in a warm room and 
 lying quiet. Cold chills run down the spine. 
 
 Neuralgic pains commence in left temple 
 and run over left side of face and down ramus 
 of left jaw, throbbing and digging, worse from 
 noise , odors of cooking and in the evening, better 
 from sleep.

 Miss H. J. C, a costumier, had been suffer- 
 ing from a severe neuralgia for two years. She 
 is of a cheerful disposition, very active and full 
 of energy ; has dark hair and a florid complex- 
 ion. She described the pain as a maddening, 
 boring pain, as if a screw was being driven 
 slowly through the left temple. The exciting 
 cause was overwork and mental strain, which 
 could not be avoided. Indeed business was 
 daily increasing and she felt herself totally in- 
 capacitated to execute it, and the pain was 
 
122 SEPIA. 
 
 thereby increased. After the pain she felt 
 quite befogged and unable to comprehend her 
 work, and became quite confused. If she could 
 get only a little sleep she felt a slight amelior- 
 ation, but all the pains were aggravated toward 
 evening, so that sleep was rarely possible. 
 With the exception of habitual constipation, 
 she was in normal good health. 
 
 I prescribed Sepia 1 m. F. C, a few globules 
 in water, a spoonful to be taken at once. The 
 second dose caused a serious aggravation, fol- 
 lowed immediately by a marked relief and a 
 cure, which has remained permanent, in spite 
 of the exciting cause (overwork) which was 
 and is still kept up.

 and 11:30 P. M., about fifteen or twenty minutes 
 after lying down in bed, beginning in left malar 
 bone, extending down face, sometimes to neck 
 and only on left side ; pains shoot downward

 A heavy cold in the head developed into a 
 severe neuralgia of left side of head and face, 
 involving the eyes. The pains seem to start 
 from the left occipital region and extend for- 
 ward ; sharp, tearing, especially in and around 
 the eye, much lachrymation, constant nausea 
 and occasional vomiting of bile ; the least noise 
 even talking aggravates the pain and light is in- 
 tolerable. 
 
 Feeling as if all the muscles on left side of face 
 from forehead to neck and left axilla were pierced

 Case I. A lady 28 years old applied to me 
 for relief. She looked much older, suffering — 
 not age — had furrowed her brow, and the ex- 
 pression of her face was sad and anxious, 
 almost despairing. She assured me that her 
 life had been spent in pain of the most ex- 
 cruciating character. Her ill health began 
 when she was fourteen years of age and every 
 week since then had brought three or four 
 days and nights of torture. The attacks came 
 on in the early morning, increased during the 
 forenoon, reached their acme at noon, de- 
 creased with the declining sun, ceased at night- 
 fall ; returned about ten o'clock in the evening 
 and lasted until three or four next morning. 
 She described the pain as jerking, shooting and 
 burning, usually in the left eyeball, sometimes 
 spreading in all directions on left side of face 
 and head, but rarely crossing to the right side. 
 The height of the paroxysm was attended by 
 
SPIGELIA. 129 
 
 a profuse flow of tears from the affected eye, 
 and she declared the pain was almost unbear- 
 able. In addition to this, during damp weather 
 she had asthma, accompanied by rheumatic 
 pains all over- the body, especially severe in the 
 intercostal muscles, with sudden shocks of pain 
 in the left chest and violent palpitation of the 
 heart. 
 
 In the earlier years of her ailment she had 
 consulted many celebrated physicians. Later 
 she had been gulled and bled by advertisers. 
 Then losing faith in men, though not in 
 medicine, she took each new patent anti- 
 neuralgic as soon as she could hear of and ob- 
 tain it. until finally, hearing of the novelty 
 Homoeopathy, she determined to try that. 
 
 I gave her Spigelia 30x, night and morning. 
 She was permanently cured within one week. —

 Adv., 1892, Vol. 29, p. 437. 
 
 Case II. Mrs. M., set. 32, had for more than 
 a year been treated with morphine, quinine 
 and various patent medicines for a severe pain 
 in left side of face and head, occurring daily. 
 The treatment having afforded onty slight 
 temporary relief, she was induced by friends 
 to try Homoeopathy, and she called on me ac- 
 cordingly. A study of the case led me to sup- 
 pose Spigelia was the remedy indicated.

130 SPONGIA TOSTA. 
 
 I gave Spigelia 12x, to be dissolved in water 
 and taken, a spoonful four times a day. About 
 ten days from the time of prescribing she re- 
 ported as having been entirely free from pain 
 for six days. The next day after commencing 
 the medicine the paroxysm was much more 
 severe than usual, but on the next day was 
 much less ; on the third day it was less still, 
 and after the third day there was no return of 
 the paroxysm and has not been to this day, an 
 interval of five years. — Wm. M. Huston, M. D., 
 Urbana, Ohio, Med. Adv., 1892, Vol. 29, p. 144. 
 
 Case III. Spigelia 3x cured the following 
 case: Mrs. D., set. 40, while in good health, 
 was attacked by the following symptoms : The 
 neuralgia began in the occiput, and settled 
 over the left eye and in cheek ; the character 
 of the pain was tearing, jerking, burning. The 
 suffering was increased by noise, cold, warmth, 
 or any jarring of the body. It would begin in 
 the morning, increase during the day and sub- 
 side at night. She was very sensitive to any 
 change of the weather. — Med. Current, October,

 Case I. An Allopath had suffered since a 
 child with violent neuralgia of the face and 
 head, which nothing had helped. In this case 
 the pain would come stealing on in a slow and

 maximum of intensity, and then begin to de- 
 crease, which was quite as slow. 
 
 I gave him Stannum 5c (Tafel). He has 
 called several times since and received a repeti-

 best, but find the attacks further and further 
 apart and relieved at once by the remedy. He 
 had never been able to attend any place of 
 amusement without deserting his friends to 
 " seek the seclusion that his cabin grants," and 
 to stop all business, when particularly anxious 
 to stick to it, was his regular program. Since

 creased to a boring backward therein ; the eye 
 is very red and closes with photophobia, gnaw- 
 ing pains extend down right side of face and 
 whole of nose ; the head is the worst, when the 
 eye is bad ; during paroxysm the right eye feels

 head and letting it hang over eyes, also by 
 gentle pressure, though she cannot bear much 
 pressure ; it is more painful when lying on 
 right {affected) side, when also right side of

 runs out of the mouth when sleeping ; severe pain 
 in neck, better from bending head backward ; ach- 
 ing pain in the shoulders and knees, rending 
 tearing pains throughout the body, better when

 volver, lest in a fit of desperation he might kill 
 himself, as was his desire during the extreme 
 paroxysms of pain : strikes wall with fists, and 
 beats head against the wall for relief. Stools 
 hard and dry, like sheep's dung ; desire for stool 
 three or four times a day, but only a little

 Clinical. 
 
 Case I. Mr. D. D. C, aged 50 years, came to 
 me on Saturday, June 4th, saying he had been 
 suffering for more than a week with pain in 
 both limbs, extending down thighs and some- 
 times into calves and heels. 
 
 When sitting upright on a chair or standing 
 still in certain positions, or even walking 
 about on a smooth surface, the pains are ab- 
 sent, but when getting up or sitting down the 
 sharp, cutting, crampy pain was " damnable." 
 He could not lie down and had slept sitting up 
 for five nights. There was no swelling, or red- 
 ness, no tenderness on pressure, no relief from 
 the application of heat or liniments ; appetite 
 good, bowels regular, slept well considering the 
 position, and feeling well as above stated. 
 
 He received one dose of Colocynthis cm., 
 went to bed that night and slept soundly, went 
 to work Monday and has not had a twinge of 
 pain since. H. F. Smiley, M. D., Chicago ; M. 
 A., 1894. Vol. 31, p. 138. 
 
 Case II Mr. G. H. has been all of nine 
 months under treatment. First allopathic, 
 then with two eclectic doctors successively, for 
 sciatica of right leg, hip, and lower extremity, 
 
228 COLOCYNTHIS. 
 
 better from continued exercise, especially from 
 running till tired, then better for awhile by ly- 
 ifig still, better from heat and rubbing, worse 
 in damp weather and in the day-time; at night 
 in bed he can roll around freely, and turn over 
 without suffering any pain. 
 
 Ehus 75 m., 1 powder ; although it does not 
 correspond to the aggravation in the day-time, 
 yet every other symptom seemed to corre- 
 spond. 
 
 The next day I was sent for, as he was very 
 much worse, yet the night had been passed as 
 comfortable as usual. He showed me some 
 homoeopathic pellets the last eclectic doctor 
 had given him, one-half ounce nearly full with 
 about a half drachm of a tincture looking 
 very much like Ehus tox., and concluded that 
 the symptoms presented the day before were 
 all due to this drug, for the powder Ehus 75 m. 
 had removed them all, except the amelioration 
 at night, which, continued along with the fol- 
 lowing new symptoms : Pain in the right hip 
 and lower extremity of a drawing, tearing, 
 cramping character, with a sensation of con- 
 traction or shortening ; drawing, aching on 
 inner side of left thigh, all worse in the day- 
 time, and from slightest motion, better by 
 lying perfectly still and at night; can move 
 and roll around in bed at night, freely without

 any pain. Bowels constipated, has to urge 
 a great deal to expel the dry, hard stool, this 
 as also coughing, sneezing or stooping forward

 After a week there was only a slight im- 
 provement. Coloc. 200 a powder daily for two 
 weeks.

 requires much urging and causes pain at anus 
 on voiding. There is an oozing from the anus

 I succeeded two years ago in curing a 
 chronic case of this painful affection with 
 Lycopodium mm. (Johnston.) 
 
 I had several times partially relieved her 
 
244 LYCOPODItJM. 
 
 with Rhus tox, Chamomilla etc. but the parox- 
 ysms, to which she had been subject for years 
 would return. The condition, when the Lyco- 
 podium was given, was that the pain was 
 very much aggravated, by pressure upon 
 the affected side, either by sitting, or 
 especially by lying upon it. It was the 
 right side. The patient complained that, 
 when lying upon the affected side, it seemed 
 as though the pain and sore feeling was deep 
 in the joint. When not lying on the painful 
 side, the pain always ran down from the hip 
 to the part on the outside of the leg. Phyto- 
 lacca was prescribed on this indication, with 
 only little if any relief. When the patient 
 mentioned this symptom, of deep seated pains 
 in the joint, it called to my mind^that I had 
 read in a society discussion somewhere, that 
 Lippe said that Lycopodium affected the ends of 
 the bones, and might it not be that there was 
 an inflammation in the head of the femur. Act- 
 ing on this as a sort of a guiding symptom, I 
 found, on again reviewing the case in its past 
 history, that she had at times suffered from 
 rheumatic soreness in her ankles, so that she 
 could walk only with the greatest difficulty. 
 She was and had been troubled with a great 
 deal of flatulence and constipation, and thus I 
 was enabled to see quite a number of Lycopo- 
 
LYSSIN. 245 
 
 dium symptoms in my case. Under this remedy 
 in this very high potency she made a rapid 
 and full recovery and she had no return of the 
 trouble.

 Case I. A man over seventy years old 
 suffered from sciatica several years, during 
 which time he obtained no relief, although 
 under the care of a homoeopathist in the last 
 two years. April 26th, 1887, complained of 
 pain in the left hip and thigh - r worse in stormy 
 wet weather, from sitting long and when lying 
 on the opposite side ; relief from walking, 
 motion and warmth; weak gone feeling in 
 stomach before meals. Milk disagrees, gave 
 Rhus tox. mm., one dose. May 6th., pain iu 
 hip and thigh better notwithstanding a severe 
 cold, from which he now suffered. 
 
 The present symptoms are: Chilliness in 
 back, chills run upward, the pain in the left 
 thigh is a burning pain. Gave Lachesis cm. 
 one dose. 
 
 May 13th, comes in happy, says he has not

 been so well in years and continues so at this 
 date. J. A.' Biegler, M. D., Rochester, N. Y. 
 Horn. Phys., 1887, Vol 7, p. 478. 
 
 Case II Mr. M. had suffered for four or five 
 weeks from sciatica, for which allopathic 
 physicians had been unable to do anything. 
 He was lying in bed, resting on his left side, 
 and moving his right leg constantly. Elec- 
 tricity had been employed with but slight re- 
 lief. He could not stay in bed at night, 
 particularly after midnight, but had to get up 
 and walk abo it. Constant thirst, drinking 
 little at a time, frequent voiding of scanty 
 urine, smelling strong, could not lie on back or 
 right side, worse during windy weather ; icy 
 coldness of affected part. Ars. 10th was pre- 
 scribed for two days, without result, when he 
 mentioned he was worse in damp weather and 
 damp air. Rhus tox. 10 was then given for 
 3 days, without much relief. 
 
 On the night of the third day he obtained 
 ten hour's sleep and in two days more went 
 about his business in the open air. A slight 
 relapse from some cause was rapidly removed 
 by Rhus tox.

 ings; burning corrosive pains, worse in damp, 
 cold weather or from cold applications.

 Case I. Mrs. S., set. 47 years, had suffered 
 several years ago from ah eruption on different 
 parts of the body. She consulted me August 
 the 3d, 1892, on account of an ischias on the 
 right side, from which she has suffered since 
 last February. She says, she was at first sick 
 for eight days, during which the pains were on 
 both sides. Then it settled in her right hip 
 and then went downward, and is now so that 
 she suffers all the time. She cannot endure 
 sitting, or keeping quiet, long at a time. Ag- 
 gravation at night in bed (when at rest); she 
 must lie on the painful side, she sweats pro- 
 fusely. Before this disease sat in, she suffered 
 from headache on awaking in the morning. 
 This has now disappeared, general health good.

 September 8th. The primary action of the 
 remedy was very violent, and it continued a 
 week. She perceived a clear improvement in 
 every direction after the second dose, including 
 sleep. I now gave her the remedy every 
 seventh evening, and no other was required to 
 complete the cure. Dr. Kunkel, Kiel. Archive

 Case II. A countryman, always well until 
 the present illness, consulted me July 25th 
 1892. He has suffered since last January from 
 ischias of the left hip. He feels no pain when 
 working in an upright position, but it appears 
 immediately on stooping. Slight sweat on en- 
 tire body, particularly of the head. Sultry air 
 is intolerable. When sitting long the pain is 
 constant, and disappears on rising and walk- 
 ing about. Free from pain at night. Aggrava- 
 tion on catching cold. 
 
 Sepia 30, a dose every seventh evening. Sep- 
 tember 5th, he is almost well, except on 
 stooping there is some pain below the left 
 trochanter (formerly it was in the whole ex- 
 tremity) which soon disappears on motion.

 Case III. Mr. G., set. 48, had sciatica in both 
 lower extremities and had taken Gaultheria, 
 and Bry. on his own account, and also two 
 
silica. 259 
 
 prescriptions from a Homoeopath, without any 
 improvement, he felt despondent and was 
 worse during the day. Nux v. 200 gave him 
 some relief; no pain in the left leg, but the 
 right seemed worse ; aggravated from coughing, 
 sneezing, or pressing at stool ; the constipation 
 was so great that it required manual aid to 
 evacuate the stool ; he could not ride com- 
 fortably, but was somewhat relieved by walking 
 rapidly. Pains severe all day, slept good 
 without pain at night : Sepia 45m, two powders 
 taken a week apart, gave complete relief. F. H.

 Case I. A lady about forty years of age had 
 suffered for many months from sciatica and, 
 had endured much from many physicians and 
 drugs without relief. The peculiarities of the 
 case were as follows: The pain was confined 
 to the outer side of the left thigh, was aggra- 
 vated by lying down, and especially aggra- 
 vated by lying on the left or painful side. In the 
 night she was frequently obliged to rise and 
 walk about, the pain would be so persistent 
 and unbearable. Even lying down for a few 
 minutes in the daytime would bring on the 
 pain. She felt that the pain was wearing her 
 out. Examination revealed no tenderness of 
 the sciatic nerve,the ischiatic notch or the spine. 
 
262 SULPHUR. 
 
 The pain was of an indefinite character, as she 
 expressed it " a dull ache •' but intolerable. 
 
 The relief from moving was so marked day 
 and night that I assured her that the remedy 
 which I would give her would relieve, and, as 
 a 4 matter of course, I gave her Rhus tox. 6 in 
 water, a teaspoonful every two hours. After 
 three days there was not the slightest effect 
 observable from the medicine, the conditions 
 were exactly the same. 
 
 I felt so confident that Rhus was the correct 
 remedy, that I continued it in the 60x still 
 without the slightest relief, and my patient 
 was beginning to be discouraged. So I took 
 my notes home, and sat down with my little 
 Boeninghausen's pocket-book to work the case 
 out properly. 
 
 I took the following rubrics in order : 
 
 1. Aggravated from lying down in any 
 position (see page 289). 
 
 2. Aggravated from lying down on left side 
 (see page 290). 
 
 3. Aggravated from lying down on painful 
 side (see page 290). 
 
 4. The outer side of thigh (see page 136). 
 
 5. The left lower extremity (see page 142). 
 On reviewing the case carefully I found 
 
 that though the aggravation from lying down 
 was decidedly marked (see page 270), yet the 
 
SULPHUR. 263 
 
 aggravation at night was also marked. Adding 
 then the values of the drugs, as made out on 
 Dr. Yingling's checking list (which is an im- 
 mense convenience), I found that Rhus had 15 
 votes, to Sulphur 14; these were the two 
 highest. Silica came next, also with 14, and 
 Baryta carb. 13. 
 
 While I could elicit no special symptoms to 
 distinguish between Sulphur and Silica, since 
 the lady seemed perfectly well in every other 
 respect, having failed with Rhus tox. I pro- 
 ceeded to administer Sulphur, which acted im- 
 mediately, so that within a week or ten days 
 my patient seemed to be almost entirely cured.

 Case II. Mr. H. B. had been treated for 6 
 weeks by an old school "doctor with Quinine, 
 etc., and for the last week with morphine, for 
 a severe sciatica of the left leg. The symp- 
 toms June, 1895, were as follows : Pains worse 
 at night, very violent, causing sleeplessness 
 and restlessness ; some relief was obtained, 
 especially during the day, by lying on the back 
 with leg stretched out. Nux v. 200 improved 
 him somewhat, but in a few days the pains 
 were worse again, and he complained of a 
 severe and painful contraction of tendons in 
 the hollow of the knee. Natr. mur cm. in aq. 
 
264 SYPHILINUM. 
 
 a teaspoonful every two hours, completely re- 
 lieved him of all pain after the second dose 
 and after a few days he resumed his usual 
 occupation, very hard manual labor. 
 
 But in two weeks the sciatica returned as 
 severe as before, the pains were excruciating, 
 especially at night, very much aggravated 
 from walking, yet very restless, especially after 
 midnight, somewhat better during the day, 
 especially lying on back with leg stretched 
 out ; he could not even sit long enough to eat 
 his meals. The pains were tearing, shooting 
 down on outside and back of left leg, with a 
 sensation of contraction of tendons in lower 
 third of the back of the left thigh. Sulph 5dm. 
 in aq. a teaspoonful every two hours, and two 
 weeks later Sulph cm. administered in the 
 same way produced a complete cure, and he 
 has suffered no relapse since, though his labor 
 has been the same as before. F. H. L.

 This book is the corner-stone of the whole homoeo- 
 pathic edifice, the text-book embracing the fundamental 
 principles of homoeopathic practice, Samuel Hahnemann's 
 Organon. It has wrought a greater change in this world 
 than any other book of purely human origin. It has 
 brought a mighty but bloodless revolution, and the 
 revolutionary forces it let loose are still growing, deepen- 
 ing and widening in all directions. It is a book that 
 small men have looked to see drop into oblivion, but it 
 treads on down the century a giant among pygmies. As 
 one reads its pages, ever and anon the feeling comes over 
 him that Hahnemann instinctively feels that he is not 
 the author, but the messenger of the great tidings — that 
 his message is from a greater than he ; he does not claim 
 this, but, at times, when dwelling on the deep truth, he 
 is singularly reverent and humble ; there is no arrogance 
 or assumption of "my discovery," but ''God mercifully 
 permitted Homoeopathy to be discovered," It is the 
 spirit of a truly great mind.

 This book, together with the Chronic Diseases by 
 Hahnemann, is the basis of nearly all the homoeopathic 
 works on materia medica, and if the student of that 
 science will take the trouble he can trace nearly all our 
 key-notes and red letter symptoms back to these books. 
 Thorough and exhaustive re-provings of the many drugs, 
 whose provings were originally given to the world in 
 these books, have been made since then, but in no 
 instance has the practical accuracy of the original been 
 questioned. In these books is to be found the homoeo- 
 pathic materia medica in its purity.

 No work by Hahnemann has excited so much 
 criticism and controversy among his followers as The 
 Chronic Diseases; on the one hand, it is said to be a work 
 of a great mind gone astray, and on the other, a work so 
 far in advance even of present day medicine that but few 
 can comprehend its magnificient scope. There is one 
 fact, however, about this work that stands out undisputed, 
 namely, that to it we owe most of our remedies that 
 are the sheet anchors of physicians in chronic diseases — 
 such remedies as Calcarea, Graphites, Lycopodium, Phos- 
 phorus, Sepia, Silicea, not to mention many others 
 almost as useful ; it would seem that this fact ought to 
 settle the inestimable valuable of this, Hahnemann's last 
 ork in this world.

 This book, Hahnemann's Defence^ was published 
 early in the Centennial year of Homoeopathy, 1896. The 
 work was professedly published in the original as Hahne- 
 mann's son, Friedrich's, but reading a few pages will 
 show anyone that it is from Hahnemann's pen, which 
 fact Dr. Dudgeon proves in his preface and gives the 
 reason why it was published in this manner. 
 
 The book is strong meat indeed — a good diet for 
 the weak and the doubters. Words are not minced or 
 smooth phrases chosen ; the fight is to the finish, and no 
 quarter asked or given. It is a brave literary tonic. 
 
 This is the only English translation ever made of the 
 Defence.
