PREFACE.
HE preparation of this Handbook was commenced immediately after the completion
of the Encyclopedia, and in accordance with a desire, strongly and unanimously
expressed by a number of prominent physicians at a dinner given by the publishers to the
Author of that work, to possess a condensed volume for ready reference. The first labor
undertaken was to correct the errors and supply the omissions which to some extent
marred the Encyclopedia; this work proved to be gigantic, involving, as it did, a review of
nearly every symptom in comparison with the originals; the whole Encyclopedia could,
almost as well, have been re-cast. - -
To this revised material have been added most of the provings and many cases of
poisoning which have accumulated during the past ten years, omitting only such as
seemed to rest upon a doubtful basis or which would not be of any practical value. A
number of drugs included in the Encyclopedia have been omitted in the Handbook by
reason of their inutility or unreliability (for example, the provings of Mure and Houatt),
since scarcely any of them have been found valuable; all of Houatt's contributions have
been thrown aside on account of their inherent improbability: the “Lacs” have been left
to Dr. Swan's announced Materia Medica of the Nosodes, to which also Hydrophobinum,
Syphilinum, et celera, have been referred. This procedure has been forced upon the
Author by the necessity to provide the profession with a working handbook; but should
the work find so much favor that a new edition be called for, the wishes of the profession
generally would be considered in adding some of the drugs that have been omitted,
especially if these shall have proved themselves reliable. The material thus selected has
been condensed in accordance with a system uniformly adhered to, Omitting nothing
important and avoiding repetition. * -
The following example will serve to illustrate the method employed.
Under Agaricus, as condensed: -
Vertex-Stitches; itching. Tearing; lancinating, to 1. ear. Aching; morning;
morning, - after rising; at night; > open air; pulsating, with despair bordering on rage.
Same not condensed: * . -
Stitches in vertex. Itching stitches in vertex. Tearing in vertex. Lancinating
tearing in vertex, extending to left ear. Aching in vertex. Aching in vertex in morning.
Aching in vertex in morning, relieved after rising. Aching in vertex at night. Aching
in vertex, relieved in open air. Pulsating pain in vertex, with despair bordering on rage.
Preface, iV * Preface.
In the above paragraph all symptoms belong to the Vertex. In the first period only
Stitches. In the second period, Tearings. In the third period all are Achings; but each
semicolon closes a symptom; thus Aching in the vertex at night is not said to be > in the
open air; but the Aching in the vertea, S open air is a separate semicolon and a separate
symptom. In the last semicolon the “pulsating” still refers to the aching, which domi-
nates the whole period; the last period might read as follows:
Vertex, Aching. - -
{{ “ in morning.
{{ {{ { { > after rising.
“ “ at night.
(4 {{ > Open air.
{ % {{ —pulsating, with despair, etc.
This plan of making a dominating sensation cover a whole period, and dividing
that period into semicolons for each symptom, affords a good method of condensation.
It is confidently believed that no confusion will arise from following this plan.
In some places very long paragraphs have been divided even when the whole refer
to one locality. -
The sensations have been arranged in accordance with the general idea of the
Encyclopedia of giving first in a paragraph the objective symptoms, namely, those to be
apprehended by the observer alone, including the appearance, the motions or lack of
motion, et celera; second, the sensations arranged in the order of acuteness: sharp pains first,
followed by dull pains or sensations.
Very few signs or abbreviations have been used :
<, means getting worse from, aggravated by, or sometimes simply worse.
“3 r. side" means “worse on the right side.” &
>, means getting better, et celera.
r. means right.
1. means left.
The initial letter of a dominating word is sometimes repeated to avoid the possi-
bility of confusion.
Comparisons of each drug have been made with a few of its allies, but it has been
deemed advisable to limit these to a very few. Comparison is often confounded with
contrast, and to attempt both would greatly swell the size of the book, without any increase
of its usefulness; the limited number of comparisons admitted will be found reliable and
a real help to those not quite satisfied with the remedy under inspection and looking for
one generally similar to it and to the case in hand.
The clinical sections have given the author a great amount of tribulation. To sift
the enormous mass of reported cures is no light task; much has been rejected, some modi-
fied and admitted after comparison with the observations of the most careful prescribers.
There is no doubt that much fault can be found, with admissions as well as with rejections;
doubtless some reliable clinical indications have escaped notice, but it is believed that what
is here gathered fairly represents the therapeutic range of our drugs as at present known.
Much might be said concerning the reliability of our symptomatology; the errors
that have been perpetuated from year to year in old material, and in new material obtained
by faulty methods, are well known. There is no doubt that some of even Hahnemann's
symptoms were observed in the sick, both as apparent results of drug action and as proba-
ble cures; it is also true that most provers have allowed themselves to record, as effects of

Preface, V Preface,
drugs taken for experiment, symptoms which would have arisen spontaneously or which
were “suggestions” of a mind watching for such effects. There is no doubt that many if
not most symptoms have been observed in Only one or two persons as the effect of a drug,
and that many of these would fail of confirmation by repeated experiment, but after all
these allowances have been made there remains a good and true pathogenesis sufficient for
a working materia medica and capable of justifying itself by unfailing results when put to
the test of homoeopathic therapeutics. Numerous provings, each consisting of but a single
observation, even the result of but a single dose, appeal to our knowledge of the effects of
analogous drugs as genuine; they must be utilized, their symptoms guide us unerringly to
the saving of life, and they cannot be discarded. We acknowledge the lack of accuracy in
observation, the failure of confirmation required for scientific accuracy; we are cognizant of
the absolute necessity of rebuilding the whole symptomatology from the very foundation,
but during the years, or rather, generations which will elapse till this be done, we must
cure the sick as best we may, and use sometimes doubtful material to accomplish our
results. During this interim we must endeavor to keep separate the probably pure patho-
genesis and the merely clinical history of each drug, for by doing this our pathogenesis
will undergo a slow regeneration, good observations will replace the bad and our thera-
peutics will rest upon an ever-increasingly strong foundation. -
The arrangement of a symptomatology for daily work in therapeutics is a matter of
the utmost importance. Attempts have been made to construct working materia medicas
for homoeopathists on the plan of grouping the symptoms of each prover by themselves, but
they fail of ready usefulness and we find ourselves obliged to work on the lines of our great
master, Hahnemann. The actual need is a grouping of symptoms under the regions of the
body, and under rubrics so that the symptoms of Our patients may readily be compared
with those of a drug thought to be applicable. We are compelled to prescribe for symptoms,
and drug-symptoms must constantly be compared with those of the patient. It is rarely
possible to find identity of expression between patient and prover; even the designation of
similar pains varies; frequently the peculiar pain of the sick person has never been ex-
perienced by any prover in exactly the same locality, but drug-analogies may be followed
and a remedy successfully selected. The necessity of looking through the symptoms
referred to any locality constantly forces itself upon us. The “Schema” of Hahnemann
must then be followed for all ordinary work. For extraordinary symptoms repertories of
various sorts are needed; usually Boenninghausen's method can be followed, namely, get
the drugs affecting the part, get the drugs causing the particular sensation noted, get the
conditions; then turn to the “Schema” and see which of the selected drugs applies best to
the patient. Sometimes also we feel the need of some sort of a concordance to hunt up
remarkable symptoms. -
Systematic study of a drug requires a very different sort of an arrangement; for this
the student needs to consult impartially all provings which have been made in good faith,
to note the evolution of drug-effects, to compare the day books of the different provers, and
to determine, if possible, the true characters of the drug-disease. A full collection of all
provings would be most valuable.
In the study of provings or of the “Schema” it should be kept constantly in mind
that just as groups of symptoms vary in individuals sick with any definite “disease,”
pathologically considered, so the groupings of symptoms in the provings vary, and it is
extremely rare, if indeed it has ever happened, to find the total symptoms of any
patient paralleled by those of any prover. While it is even infrequent to get the total of
Preface, - Vi - Preface,
any patient out of all the provers, it is constantly necessary to make up the nearest pos-
sible to the total from several provers, and it really matters not where the individual
symptoms come from, so they be reliable; even parts of symptoms may be pieced together,
a pain here, a locality there, a condition from another or from several (the “condition ”
should dominate the whole), to complete the picture and the cure. Hence it follows that
in condensing our symptomatology great liberties may be taken, if only the exact mean-
ing be preserved. Liberties have not been taken, after this fashion, in the preparation of
this book, but smaller books could readily and safely be made from this by condensing
after the above method.
The Selection of the Remedy.
The first duty of the therapeutist is to note carefully and completely the various
complaints of his patient and add thereto his own observations concerning his condition,
that is to say, he must get all of the subjective and objective symptoms. This duty is
frequently quite apart from that performed in making a diagnosis and requires quite a
different line of investigation; this duty may, indeed, be performed without making a
diagnosis, though it is not wise to attempt it. Having “taken the case,” One sets about
finding the remedy which corresponds most closely to the symptoms. Three things must
be done before this Handbook is consulted : (1) get a list of the drugs which affect the
localities complained of by the patient; (2) get a list of the drugs which correspond to the
sensations, and (3) get the drugs which have the same aggravations and ameliorations.
The importance of these groups is inverse to the order above mentioned; the last is most
important. These lists are to be obtained from the “Pocket-book of Therapeutics,” based on
Boenninghausen's work.
Select from these lists those drugs which occur most frequently, compare their
symptoms in the Handbook with those of the patient, and select the drug which best
covers the case. These directions are simple, easily followed by any one, whether edu-
cated or not, and will frequently lead to success. It must, however, be remembered that
there are great and important differences in the symptoms of the sick, not only as regards
their influence over a diagnosis, but also as regards their importance in influencing the
choice of a remedy. It must also be recognized that a thorough knowledge of the pecu-
liarities of a drug may lead to its selection, even if it may have but few of the symptoms
of the patient. The above sort of knowledge distinguishes the “professional” from the
un-professional therapeutist, the leader from the imitator. -
In the case of the patient, it may be said that there are comparatively few simple
diseases to prescribe for. Most symptom-lists are extremely complicated; in chronic com-
plaints the observation that one organ after another has become involved furnishes series
of symptoms from new foci, as it were, the lately developed symptoms often overpower
and obscure previous affections; in acute diseases the immediate symptoms are complicated
by a series of old chronic troubles which, likely as not, have so affected the vitality of the
individual that the acute disease has become possible. In the latter case (frequently in
scarlatina and the other so-called zymotic diseases), we find our patient unresponsive to the
remedy selected for the most numerous and apparently important symptoms, and are com-
pelled to fall back upon a careful analysis of a few chronic troubles.
It seems to be true that an individual, free from inherited and acquired disease, will
not be affected by any Zymosis whatever, and that a person sick with a zymotic disease will,
if freed from the incubus of his chronic complaint, speedily recover. In such a case, then,
we may safely say that the totality of the symptoms is not to be regarded.
Preface, • , - Wii - Preface.
Still we must prescribe very frequently for a few severe and distressing symptoms,
and postpone for a time the investigation of the past history and present complications of
the malady. This symptom-palliation is usually followed by most practitioners to the
exclusion of thorough work in therapeutics, but he who practices it exclusively or even
habitually is liable to administer as many different medicines as there are urgent symp-
toms, and finally to resort to physiological palliation and become almost wholly empirical
in his practice. - *
In these acute diseases a knowledge of the nature of the morbid process enables the
expert to separate the symptoms due to the recent malady from those which are contingent
and individual and which must be considered most seriously. In the vast majority of
cases the most brilliant cures are made and life actually saved by the selection of a remedy
which corresponds to the fewer individual rather than to the more numerous generic
symptoms. Herein lies the secret of getting at what is characteristic in the patient.
In chronic diseases the conditions are somewhat different, and as a rule the symp-
toms are less complicated, but it frequently becomes necessary to exercise great partiality
toward a few symptoms to the exclusion of the many. In most of the chronic maladies
which show no tendency to recover, but rather to involve one organ after another, the
original symptoms become obscured. For example, in cancer, the tumor, with its destruc-
tive metamorphoses, has developed from the underlying cachexia which has determined
its manifestations. This secondary development gives rise to new and obtrusive symptoms
which may entirely mask the real disease. Consumption develops from the scrofulous
habit. The Lithaemic diathesis gives rise to a host of degenerative changes in various
organs and tissues which develop new sets of symptoms. In all of these and other
similar diseases it becomes our duty to investigate thoroughly the nature of the morbid
processes, to study the evolution of the malady and separate the symptoms into groups.
While it may be true that the absolute totality of all the symptoms would include the
original, determining and essential symptoms of the case, yet he who fails to grasp the full
significance of all the symptoms will fail to appreciate the overpowering value of the few.
It is then necessary to get at what is characteristic in the patient in all forms of sickness.
Drugs must be studied in much the same way; provings are to be followed step by
step as they develop in the day books of the provers. Unfortunately the earlier provers
have given us no day books, and too many of the later disciples have followed their
example; but when possible study the originals and note the peculiarities of each drug,
Observe the predominating sensations, study the conditions under which these sensations
appear or are modified, note the organs affected; this study is to be pursued during quiet
hours, and need not be associated with the selection of a remedy for a patient.
In the selection of the remedy it must always be remembered that there is no
specific for a “disease,” that the symptoms only of the sick are to be treated, and that
these symptoms vary in each individual. It may also be recognized that these groups of
symptoms, varying so constantly in individuals, are to be met by varying groups of drug
symptoms, and that these groups must be made up from different provers. The recog-
nition of this fact determines the arrangement of our symptomatology for practical work
in therapeutics; it seems clear that in no other way can homoeopathy be practiced
successfully. - -
- Nothing need be said concerning the size of the dose further than it bears upon
the relative value of symptoms. It is contended by some that the order of evolution of
symptoms in provers varies with the amount of drug taken, and that this has a bearing
Preface, Wifi Preface,
upon the size of dose of the drug to be administered to the sick who suffer from symptoms
which appear in a similar way.
It may be said in reply that the practical experience of the best prescribers negatives
such a hypothesis, and it may further be asserted that there is no fixed order of evolution
either in prover or patient. Provers vary greatly in their susceptibility to drugs, and any
given amount of a drug may be large relatively to the sensitiveness of one prover and
small as regards the sensitiveness of another, so that the Order of evolution of effects is
constantly changing. The same is true of the sick; a dose large for one individual is small
for another, and the only guide to the size of dose for any patient is his individual suscep-
tibility to drugs in general or to any particular drug at any particular time. It has been
fully established by experience that it matters not (for therapeutics) by what sort of dose
an effect has been produced; only let a symptom be reliable, it will be cured by different
doses for different people. The amount of drug necessary to produce it varies with the
susceptibility of the prover, the amount needed for its removal varies with the suscepti-
bility of the patient.
It is confidently hoped that this Handbook will contribute to the more certain
application of homoeopathic therapeutics to the symptoms of the sick, by the critical
examination of which the best results are to be attained. t

Abies Nigra,
A tree growing in northern United States and Canada, belong-
ing to the Coniferae. A tincture is prepared by dissolving the
gum in alcohol.
General Action,-As far as we are now able to judge
from the provings, and from our clinical experience
with this drug, its most marked effect is upon the
digestion; and in disorders of the stomach its only
laurels have been won. Most, if not all, of the symp-
toms hitherto observed are intimately associated with
gastric disturbances.
Generalities.-Weariness. Bone pains (Eupat. perſ.).
Mind-Melancholy; nervous; unable to think;
dull during the day, but wakeful at night.
Head.-Vertigo. Dull headache. Head and face

Clinical.-The most characteristic indication for Abies in
indigestion is the distress as if something were knotted up in the
stomach. It has often proved curative in the dyspepsia resulting
from the use of tea and tobacco.
Abrotanum.
The Southernwood (Artemisia Abrotanum, L.) is still cultivated
in old gardens; a low shrub about three feet in height, with finely
divided leaves of an intensely bitter taste. A tincture is prepared
from the chopped and bruised leaves.
General Action.-The indications of a central dis-
turbance (hyperamia) of the nervous system, produc-
ing anaesthesia and paralysis, are very marked; this
is accompanied by neuralgic pains, which cause rest-
lessness and are relieved by motion.

which are at first rigid, and then affected by clonic
spasms; with cyanotic face, irregular and stertorous
respiration. The convulsions are followed by stu-

General Action.-Aconite in small doses accelerates
the heart's action, and causes a rise of temperature;
then follow alternate chill and fever, tumultuous ac-
tion of the heart, Sweat and great weakness. From
larger doses, paralysis of the heart, feeble pulse, cold
Sweat, paralysis of sensory and motor nerves, vomit-
ing and purging, convulsions and death. Mental dis-
tress is exceedingly characteristic; it is produced by all
doses, in all cases of poisoning, in all provings, and
even in experiments on animals; this peculiar anxiety
distinguishes Aconite from all other drugs. The
tingling and numbness, which are experienced even
from small doses, and the neuralgias, affecting par-
ticularly the upper portion of the body, are, likewise,
characteristic. Aconite causes only functional dis-
turbance; there is scarcely any evidence of power to
produce tissue change; its action is brief, and shows
no marked periodicity.

Loss of
Clinical.—The convulsions arrested or prevented by Aconite
are not dependent upon a chronic constitutional taint, but result
from a sudden nervous shock, such as fright, or are of recent
origin, as in the puerperal state; the face is red, hot and sweaty,
with other symptoms as above. In hysterical spasms, neuralgias,
congestions, haemorrhages, and effects of shock from injury or
fright, the terrible mental distress characteristic of the drug must
be the guide to its successful use; also after exposure to sun or
great heat, with a plethoric appearance, some anaesthesia or great
sensitiveness to touch, Acon, may be used always with mental
anxiety and acute sensitiveness to pain. The pains are usually
acute, sticking, and often associated with or followed by numb-
ness. Restlessness and agonized tossing about are essential in a
case requiring Aconite. *

white mucus, with Streaks of bright blood (Sulph.). Gela-
tinous mucus. Tenacious, slimy. Cough brings up a
Sweetish salt fluid into mouth, tasted only at root of
tongue.

Clinical.-The Aconite cough is dry, either short hacking or
hard ringing and croupy, it hurts the larynx (in laryngitis) or the
chest (in pleurisy or pneumonia). In the first stage of membranous
croup, with high fever, great anxiety and restlessness, it will often
abate the attack. (Iodine is also applicable at this stage of high
fever, but the patient is quiet and the exudation has already be-
come plastic ; after the fever abates neither Acon, nor Iodine is
indicated.) The cough is aggravated by warmth (on expiration)
usually. In congestion of the lungs, with great oppression, distress
and anxiety, expectoration of bright, hot blood. In the hyperaemic
stage of inflammations of the thoracic viscera (with the general in-
dications), prior to exudation, Acon. will be found invaluable.
After Acom. either Iodine or Bryonia follows well; both these have
high fever without anguish, both seem to be associated with an
exudative process. Acute symptoms occurring during the progress
of chronic diseases occasionally require Acon.

Clinical.—While Acon. is not applicable to the cure of
diseases of the skin dependent on a constitutional dyscrasia, yet its
power to produce vesicles associated with the neuralgic pains
naturally leads to its use in the prodromal stage of Herpes zoster
(Ran. b.). The nervous sensations, especially formication and the
asleep-sensation, point to its use in certain neuroses.

Clinical.—The Aconite fever is sthenic in type and for the
most part not remittent, though the aggravation towards evening
is decided. It is not useful in fever as a symptom of any form of
malarial or septic poisoning, nor of a localized inflammatory process, but
is adapted to a general febrile state without a pathological lesion
(in this respect differing from Iodine, Bryonia, Gelsemium, etc.).
The never-failing characteristic is the mental anguish, without
which Aconite is useless; if the patient be quiet and apathetic Acon.
is not the remedy, no matter how high the temperature; thirst and
restlessness are present. Frequently there are alternations of chill
and fever, but the sweat is usually critical and terminates the
attack. It is valuable in the chilly as well as the febrile stage
preceding the development of many eruptions and lesions, but when
the preliminary storm has passed and the lesion has become estab-
lished, the picture changes from Aconite to some other remedy.

tincture is prepared from the whole plant when in flower.
General Action,--This plant, formerly supposed to
be poisonous, is now proved to be harmless; large
quantities can be taken with impunity; it seems, how-
ever, to possess a disagreeable essential oil which pro-
vokes nausea, and vomiting and causes other symp-
toms. It is particularly useful in gastro-intestinal
disorders of children (vomiting, diarrhoea, and even
convulsions).

Agaricus.
This poisonous mushroom, Agaricus muscarius, is not uncom-
mon in dry forests. It is usually distinguished by its scarlet, mot-
tled top. A tincture is made from the younger fresh plants.
General Action,-Agaricus acts energetically upon
the circulation, respiration, peristalsis and secretion.
It irritates and excites the cardiac filaments of the
pneumogastric, causes tonic contractions of arterioles
and smooth muscle fibre (intestines, bladder, iris),
increases secretions from the salivary glands, liver,
pancreas, mucous membrane of intestinal canal, etc.,
and causes contraction of the pupil and spasm of
accommodation. Paralysis results as a reaction from
prolonged spasm or as the primary effect of large doses.
Numerous effects (motor and sensory) may be referred
to an anaemia of nerve centres (brain and spine),
caused by persistent spasm of bloodvessels.

Agnus Castus.
The chaste tree, Vitex Agnus-Castus, L., is a shrub four or
five feet in height, indigenous in Southern Europe. A tincture is
prepared from the bruised berries.
General Action,--The most prominent effect seems
to be the loss of sexual power (followed in provers by
an increased desire). Our meagre provings show a
corresponding loss of nervous energy. (See Mind
especially.)

around him, dissatisfied with himself, incapable of
attending to business, indifference to things about him.

dead than have that feeling, with no courage, when free
from it he feels exalted, would like to read like an
orator, etc. (Compare Plat.), \

Clinical.—Engorgement of the haemorrhoidal veins is one of

sense of the accumulation of faecal matter in the rectum, and there
is loss of power in the sphincter, so that the stool escapes easily,
and when the desire for stool comes the patient is scarcely able to
attend to it. Aloes has been prescribed with success in constipation
with heavy pressure in the lower part of the abdomen, particularly

fuse diarrhoea, cold limbs, pale face, griping in
abdomen, pulse weak, after abatement of these symp-
toms redness of part stung. General sensation dimin-
ished. Numbness over whole body. Amelioration
from sleep.
Clinical.—There is general aggravation of all symptoms
about 5 P.M. The pains arealways sudden, stinging. As a rule, the
patients are not restless, but in some cases of hydrocephalus there
is great restlessness, with rolling of the head from side to side.
The effects generally travel from r. to l, pain, erysipelas, inflam-
mations. In paralysis following diphtheria or typhoid fever it is
sometimes indicated; sometimes, but rarely, in rheumatic affections.
Cases are reported in which there was diminished sensibility with
paralysis, could not tell when the foot touched the ground, with
soreness of the spine and pains. General inclination to dropsical
effusions and anasarca, with stinging pains. General intolerance

rule, it is characterized by sudden starts with screaming, as from
some terrible pain in the head. In meningitis from suppressed
eruptions with stupor, apparently the result of effusion, inter-
rupted by short cries. In the stupor occurring during the pro-
gress of low types of fever or malarial disease, as in typhus, diph-
theria, etc. Mania resulting from the suppression of the menses,
with stupor alternating with attacks of errotic mania. Impair-
ment of mind so that the patient seems preoccupied, lets things
fall from her hands, and seems to be unconscious of things trans-
piring about her. As a rule, the mental state in erysipelas, diph-
theria, low fevers, etc., requiring Apis, is one of apathy, indiffer-
ence, or even unconsciousness. v. - -

Clinical.-The headache is usually a hot, heavy feeling,
with congestion and with sudden stabbing pains, almost universally
relieved by external pressure and aggravated by any motion. In
meningitis, acute or chronic, or tubercular hydrocephalus, ex-
tremely valuable when the peculiar symptoms are present, the
child bores the head into the pillow, is stupid and occasionally

Clinical.—An extremely valuable remedy in a great variety
of diseases of the eyes; in inflammation of the lids, which are Oedema-
tous, often everted so that the lid actually rolls over on to the cheek,
the conjunctiva is inflamed and oedematous, with hot lachrymation,
photophobia, violent stinging pains; the lids even may become
ulcerated. It is often found valuable in purulent ophthalmia, with
infiltration of the balls and lids, great oedema and sharp pains
are sufficiently characteristic. In inflammations of the cornea of
various sorts, scrofulous, parenchymatous, with or without destruc-
tion of the tissues, especially in ophthalmia following eruptive
diseases, with great oedema, burning stinging pains. There is, as
a rule, temporary relief from the application of cold water. Some-
times indicated in staphyloma of the cornea or sclerotic. In
serous inflammation within the eyeball, in serous iritis or aquacap-
sulitis, with punctiform deposit on the inner surface of the cornea.
In muscular asthenopia, with sharp stinging pain on attempting to
use the eyes, swelling of lids, etc. In short, it is an extremely
valuable remedy in inflammatory affections of the eyes, always
characterized by serous exudation, oedema, with sudden piercing
pains.

tion in nose, and now and then some dropping; with
dread of cold but 3 from warmth; with feeling as if
it would swell. C. at 4 P.M., with dryness of nose,
then burning of lips, with sensation as if they would
chap. Blowing of blood; mornings. \,
Clinical.—In erysipelatous inflammation of the nose exter-
nally, red swelling, sharp stinging pains. Coldness of the tip of
the nose when the throat begins to be sore is a pretty sure indica-
tion for Apis. -
Face,—Swollen, red and aedematous, especially nose,
eyelids and cheeks; and head. Inflammatory S., r.
eye completely closed, l. almost, the cheeks hung

Clinical.-The appearance of the face varies with the
character of the other affections; in disease of the kidneys in preg-
nancy the face is oedematous and pale; during fever it is generally
hot and bright red; sometimes almost livid; in erysipelas it is
swollen and inflamed, with severe stinging pains; the erysipelas is
characterized by puffiness and Oedematous infiltration, which, as a
rule, does not pit on pressure; the swelling is out of proportion to
the intensity of the pain.
Mouth.-Jerking grinding of teeth on biting them
together, in swallowing, after yawning, etc. Toothache
in evening in r. upper jaw, during which she feels the
biting-together of the teeth in her head, with chilliness.

tion of tongue as after chewing pyrethrum, at same
time symptoms in all parts of mouth as after alcohol.
Taste as of sweet almonds. LOSs of taste.
Clinical.—During acute febrile states the tongue is red and
hot, even dry and hot, and in low fevers it may even tremble, re-
minding one of Lachesis. Sometimes in scarlet fever it is cracked,
sore and covered with blisters or ulcerated, but is rarely red and
dry. In diphtheria it is swollen, not heavily coated.
Throat.—Swollen; with hoarseness, difficulty in breath-
ing, difficulty on Swallowing from irritability of epi-
glottis, and with white spot to left of glottis; and
posterior part of hard palate, base of tongue and inside

with constriction. Dryness; with heat (Bell., AEsc. h.).
Swallowing difficult. Nausea apparently from T.
Clinical.—In severe inflammations of the throat, with general
stupor and prostration, even in diphtheria, we will find in Apis
an extremely valuable and frequently indicated remedy. It is al-
most a specific in true diphtheria, always indicated when the throat
is very much swollen and Oedematous, with severe stinging pains
on attempting to swallow, with great inertia or even complete
stupor. In suspected Scarlet fever, in the early stage, whea rash
is seen upon the hard palate and the throat is oedematous and
bright red, with great pain on Swallowing and the eruption is
mottled, without thirst. -

ure in region of orifice; in pit. Crampy pain, and in
abdomen, then vomiting and diarrhoea. Oppression
at pit; at epigastrium. Sore feeling, and in abdomen.
Burning. -
Clinical.—The absence of thirst is the rule in Apis cases,
though sometimes there may be great thirst; in these circum-
stances the condition of stupor and the afternoon aggravation at
5 o'clock will overbalance the presence of thirst. The vomiting of
food and frequent effort to vomit must be associated with the Apis
symptoms in meningitis or in the early stage of scarlet fever and
in various other troubles. It has occasionally been found useful
in the nausea of pregnancy.
Abdomen.—Distention; after a moderate meal, and
dyspnoea when lying, strong desire for stool, passed
flatus and urine freely. Rumbling, with urging to
stool; R. as before diarrhoea. Loud offensive flatus.

horizontal position, with sensitiveness; with urging to
pass flatus; with a feverish trembling feeling; con-
tractive, at 11 P.M. when walking, compelling her to

Soreness deep within, below and beside r. hip, with
burning and numbness.
Clinical.—Abdominal dropsy, sometimes with diarrhoea and
vomiting, great oppression of breath with the other general
symptoms indicating Apis. With all the abdominal affections there
is present the characteristic bruised feeling in the abdominal walls,
which are extremely tender (Lyc.), sometimes even when the
abdomen is not swollen; we may even meet with this symptom in
hydrocephalus. Stool sometimes involuntary on every motion;
this symptom indicates Apis in diarrhoea and cholera infantum,
especially in great stupor with disinclination to take food or drink.
In dysentery with a low type of fever, apathy, bloody, almost pain-
less stools, abdomen sore, anus raw, tongue raw, dry, sometimes
with tenesmus. Cholera infantum with constant relapses, with
threatening brain troubles, sunken abdomen; the child gets stupid
and starts suddenly, especially during dentition. There may be
constipation, with fever or with hydrocephalus.

blackish brown, green and whitish. Frequent. Scanty,
pappy, light yellow. Natural, preceded by emission
of flatus, and almost colorless water, containing lumps,
or fragments of jellylike mucus, streaked with blood.

stools become dark and fetid, worse after eating (compare with
Aloes).

the region of the kidneys (Merc, c., Phyto.), and excessively
bruised sensation in the abdominal walls on deep pressure. Acute
inflammation of the kidneys, particularly during or subsequent to
eruptive diseases; the urine may be almost entirely suppressed,
loaded with casts; the dropsy also is very great, comes on rapidly,
is especially marked in the face and upper part of the body, with
stupor, absence of thirst; with restlessness and dryness of skin. In
inflammation of the bladder, which becomes very irritable; fre-
quent or even involuntary micturition; at times when urine is
passed there is stinging pain or there may be strangury (Canthar.).
The urine is rarely bloody, very frequently high-colored. The
urine is sometimes retained in the bladder, rarely suppressed
(Stram.). As a rule, in diphtheria, erysipelas, scarlet fever, etc.,
when there is no inflammation of the urinary passages the urine
is quite free and pale, even though the patient drinks but little.
In subacute or chronic Bright's disease Apis has been found ser-
viceable in temporary exacerbations with an increase of dropsy,
sometimes about the head, when the patient is stupid, sometimes
in the chest, when there is great difficulty in breathing and the
patient is suffocated on lying down. Incontinence of urine in old
people. - -

inflammation of the cellular tissue of the pelvis (pelvic cellulitis),
with excessive soreness over the lower abdominal region and sharp
pain (Ars.). In enlarged and inflamed uterus following pregnancy,

do not have the screaming out which characterizes Apis. Hydro-
thorax with scanty urine; ascites; general anasarca; in all these
cases there is generally great thirst, but drinking causes distress or

great distention on taking anything into it. . For neuralgia of the
sciatic and lumbar nerves in r. groin and trochanter extendiug up
into lumbar region, pain very severe. Excessive haemorrhage from
the uterus, vomiting. It has arrested post-partum haemorrhage.
Purpura, with suppression of urine, has been cured. The general
indications in dropsies of various sorts seem to be the presence of
great thirst and the extreme irritability of the stomach; in this
respect it resembles Arsenicum. It is supposed that the aqueous
infusion is more efficacious than the tincture. -
Apomorphinum.
An alkaloid obtained from the decomposition of morphine by
means of hydrochloric acid. Formula C1, H 1, NO 2. ‘For use,
the alkaloid is triturated with sugar of milk.
General Action.—The chief interest attached to this
substance lies in its remarkable power to produce
emesis (which it does in doses of from five to seven
millegrams in adults). This irritating action upon
the nerve centre is similar to that of Sanguinaria,
Veratrum, Ipecac., Copper and Zinc.
Generalities.-Pandiculations. Depression. Faint-
ness. Weakness; with Sweat on face, which was pale ;
so that eyes closed involuntarily.
Head.—Aching. Heaviness. Vertigo; with chilliness.

Pulse rapid and irregular; rapid, Small and Soft.
Extremities heavy; weak. Inclined to yawn. Sleepi-
ness, with sweat. Sleep. Heat running suddenly all
over body, then vomiting. Hot feeling all over body,
especially in head. Sweat.
Clinical.—The applicability of this drug to the relief of vari-
ous troubles requiring prompt emesis will be apparent to every
one. (Its use in poisoning by Opium is dangerous.) The hypo-
dermic injection of ſº of a grain will cause full emesis within 5 to
15 minutes in an adult. It has been found useful in vomiting of
various sorts, sometimes with violent spasms and empty retching
and headache, sometimes with heartburn, pain between shoulder-
blades; sometimes it has cured the vomiting of food, sometimes
palliated the vomiting of pregnancy or uterine displacements or
uterine tumors, sometimes relieved seasickness; in one case the
2d trit. cured vomiting which had lasted several days without
any organic disease, apparently of nervous origin.

Arsenicum Album.
Arsenious acid is triturated with sugar of milk for the lower
attenuations.
General Sphere of Action.—Arsenic is, above all, a
tissue drug, ranking with Phosphorus and Antimony.
An irritant poison, it produces most violent gastro-
enteritis, with destructive action. It suspends and de-
stroys the glycogenic function of the liver (PhOS., Ant.),
| and causes acute and chronic inflammation of the kid-
neys (Phos., Merc., Plumb.). It irritates the air pas-
sages, increases, at first, the secretions and finally
paralyzes the pneumogastric. It irritates the heart
and finally produces vaso-motor paralysis. The skin is
irritated, and violent itching and burning are followed
by eruptions and finally ulceration. Glandular action
is excited, then diminished. It produces intense irri-
tation of the spine, affects chiefly the gray matter of
the chord, and causes persistent hyperaemia and Soft-
ening, with consequent paralysis. It has a special
affinity for the blood-corpuscles, which may be de-
stroyed. It causes general fatty degeneration (PhOS-
phorus). It produces well-marked intermittent fever,
with incomplete resolution, -
General Peculiarities.—The general key is irritability
(skin intolerant of scratching, the stomach intolerant of
water, though the patient is thirsty). Aggrava-
tion shortly after midnight. Profound exhaustion;
excessive restlessness. General relief from warmth
(Camph.) -
Allied Drugs.--Antimon, Phos., Merc., Plumb.,

Antidotes.—Ferrum, China.
Generalities.—Body crouched. Lies crouched in
bed, moaning and groaning. Gathers himself together
in bed, can scarcely move his limbs and is with diffi-
culty awakened from his delirious Sopor. Lies on his
back, touching the region of coccyx with his heel,

turns around and takes a different position. Lies on
back during sleep with his 1. hand under occiput.

Affinities—It is interesting to note the close re-
semblance of the neuralgic symptoms to the botanical
relatives in the Ranunculaceae, Cimicif., Clem., Puls.,
and even Aconite; the hepatic symptoms similar to
its allies Pod., Chel., as well as Iris and Aloes. Also
see DioSc., Agaric., Silicea and Zinc.

of sexual power, acne on the face, general paralysis.
The effects of Bromine upon the larynx and trachea
furnish most useful guides to its use in disease.

times induced.

surface. Creeps on hands or knees in the open air.

easiness; vague. Excitation as from quick circulation
of blood, as if streams of it poured towards the head,

could scarcely find his way, everything seemed dark
and perverted, on reaching home great cheerfulness
and serenity, as if an unseen power lifted him into a
higher region, everything seemed too small and dark,
frequent protestations that he saw something unearthly
and could accomplish great things, he saw spirits
dancing around him as happy as himself, hearing very
acute, thirst, cataleptic and epileptic attacks.

Clinical.-Cataleptic spasm of muscles of neck. Tetanic
spasms about the jaws.
Mind.—Lunacy. Imagines that he hears music, shuts
his eyes and is lost in delicious thought, Imagined
that he was gradually Swelling. Extreme exaggeration
of the duration of time and extent of space, a few
seconds seemed ages, the utterance of a word as long as
a drama, a few rods seemed a distance So great that it
could never be passed, things in the room seemed to
recede to a vast distance, the ceiling was raised, and
the adjoining room seemed an enormous depth below
him though on the same floor.
Ridiculous speculative ideas; or he imagines that he
hears sublime music or sees magnificent architecture
or beautiful landscapes. Imagined that he was a huge
saw darting up and down, cutting off planks, that he
was a bottle of soda-water, running to and fro, then a
huge hippopotamus, then a giraffe, then a huge fan,
surrounded by clouds of music and prefume, that his
leg was a tin case filled with stair-rods that rattled as
he walked, or that the other leg extended hundreds of
feet into the air, on which he was compelled to hop as
he walked. Imagined that he was a pump-log, through
which a stream of hot water was playing, that he was
an inkstand and that the ink might spill over the bed,
that he could open and shut his cover, could see and
feel the ink splash against his sides.
He seemed transparent, fire seemed to shine through
him and warm the marrow in his bones, was conscious
of the blood coursing through his veins, and every-
thing within him trembled with pleasure. Could trace
the circulation of the blood along every inch, knew
when every valve opened and shut, the beating of the
heart was so audible that he wondered why others did
not hear it. He seemed possessed of a dual nature,
one of which watched the other from a height while it
passed through various phases of delirium, or one
seemed thinking of something while he laughed at it.
He seemed a third person looking at himself and his
friend. The soul seemed separated from the body. His
voice seemed as if not his own. Imagines that he is
possessed of infinite knowledge and power of vision,
that he has creative power, that he is very eloquent, that
he possesses the wealth of the world and has a benevo-
lence equal to his wealth.
Excitement; in afternoon, with irritation; with
dancing, laughing, talking nonsense, knew that he

ing. Sings and extemporizes both words and music.

< by darkness. Ecstasies of pleasure, of agonies,
of terror and pain are constantly followed by more
gentle forms of delirious excitement or hallucinations.
Sees diabolical imps, who terrify him or make him
laugh at their grotesque grimaces. All around and
within seems a mystery, and is terrifying. Imagines
that men are bribed to kill him. Idea that he was
about to die; and be dissected. Looks under beds
and tables, unlocks and relocks doors, for he fancies
that he hears strange noises, and that thieves are
in the house. Melancholic delirium. Thinks that
every one he meets has some secret sorrow and wishes
to sympathize with him. The most familiar objects
seem strange. Did not know where he was, or
whether men generally existed, or for what purpose
he existed. Difficulty in refraining from saying and
doing unusual things. Speaks uncontrollably loud
now and then, and then corrects himself. Sensations
exalted and magnified, the pulse seems strong, ideas
flow rapidly, pictures seem larger. There seems to
be no possible freak of the imagination that is not
aroused by this drug.
Exaltation of spirits. Loquacity, Incoherent talk,
Uncontrollable laughter, until the face is purple and
back aches; immoderate L., full of fun and mischief;
immoderate, and he accents the last syllable in all
words; spasmodic, 3 flatus rising in throat, threatening
to choke him and make him vomit, without nausea.
Tendency to make puns and to talk about grammatical
questions. Constant theorizing. Anguish > open air,
with oppression; A. and despair. Despair and fear of
being eternally lost, the name of God seemed terrible,
demons clutched him, he seemed walking in a vast
arena, encircled by tremendous walls. Fear that he
should become insane; F of darkness; of approach-
ing death ; of spectres; of the coal-scuttle; at the

events and ideas of his childhood. Ideas fixed.

peats words and sentences when writing. Unable
to collect his thoughts. Forgetful; of what he intended
tº write or speak, 80 that he cannot finish a sentence; of his
last words and ideas, and spoke in a low tone and thick
voice, as if tired. Inability to read, partly from dreamy

World, but on coming out of them it was not a void on
which he looked back, but a period of active, though
aimless life, a chaos of disjointed ideas, these spells

a duplex action in regard to time, he would think it
was so long since a certain event and then reason
would say No, it had been only a few minutes, your
thoughts are caused by the hemp, but he was never
able to shake off this sense of the prolongation of
time even for a minute, an exaggeration of distance
was noticed only once, and that was when standing in

ent (larger) one, while overpowered with sleep. Un-
consciousness in a child, frequent changes in face, distortion

Clinical.--The great indication for the use of Chamomilla
is to be found in the mental condition of the patient; children
are extremely restless and impatient, they want to be petted con-
stantly and carried about, and they cry piteously if they cannot
have everything they want; older people are peevish and im-
patient, extremely sensitive to pain, even the slightest twinge is
intolerable, they are always complaining. It is not infrequently

Chininum Sulfuricum.
Pure sulphate of “Quinia” is triturated for use.
General Action.-Quinine is, above all, a proto-
plasmic poison, devitalizing the blood and tissues;
it particularly retards the elimination of nitrogenous
waste (urea and uric acid), and causes the retention
and accumulation of effete products in the system
(though, for a time the diminished waste gives a
sense of “tone” to the system, the ultimate result is
deplorable). It causes congestion of the brain, and,
in large doses, abolishes the cerebral functions. It is
an irritant to serous membranes and to the skin; it
causes deafness and serous inflammation of the inter-
nal ear; blindness, ischaemia of the retina and optic
neuritis; it produces stupor, delirium and even con-
vulsions. (Epilepsy is intensely aggravated by it.)
Quinine, however, arrests the development of low
forms of vegetable life, and especially of the poison of
marsh malaria, but it rarely antidotes the effects of
the poison on the system,

Colchicum.
Colchicum,

of the gastro-intestinal canal, with profound depres-
sion of the heart and of the temperature. It produces
also acute inflammation of the kidneys. It is specially
interesting to note that it produces symptoms of the
acute manifestations of gout, quite apart from any
direct modifications of the excretion of urea or uric acid.
Its relief of acute gout seems to be purely a homoeo-
pathic action.

in many cases an attack of fever, but in the fatal
cases the tympanitis of abdomen increased, coma set
in with stertorous breathing, pulse weak, at last im-
perceptible, cold perspiration over whole body, death.
Distressed appearance and did not like to be touched.

sleep, in which the eyes were more or less open, if
disturbed she sprang up raving and uttered unintelli-
gible words, and if one sang she began to dance in the
Japanese fashion. Delirium, characterized by inco-
herent talk and by peculiar movements of hands, as
if to pick up something from the ground or moving
away from an imaginary thing in the air. Tried to
escape whenever held, and shouted loudly and at-
tempted to strike and kick when caught. If left alone
they lay on the ground curled up, with legs drawn up
on abdomen and chest bent forward, groaned inces-
santly but did not speak nor answer. Whenever they
said anything it was with reluctance. In boys a
tendency to run away. Considerable strength, eight
or ten persons were required to hold a patient when

and 55 years wrestled with each other when alone in
8, I'OOTY).

and they took a long time to move, even with purga-
tives, in a few cases looseness of bowels followed after
they were once opened, and one man died of enteritis,
discharging blood and mucus. Answers in an under-
tone when recovering; answers shortly and quickly
and suddenly appears to lose the string of thought,
looks in another direction and wanders away as if
thinking of something else. Pulse slow and full.
Digitalis.
A tincture is made of the leaves (of the second year) of Digita-
lis purpurea, L. -
General Action.—The chief interest centres in its
action on the circulation, which it seems to affect
through the vaso-motor centres. It slows the pulse,
increasing arterial tension and causing contraction of
arterioles. Its action on the heart is remarkable in
that it produces vigorous systolic contractions which
become very irregular, one portion of the ventricle
dilating while another remains in a state of contrac-
tion; finally the heart stops in systole. Its actions on
the urinary secretion is uncertain and variable, but it
is a valuable remedy (at least a palliative) in some
forms of dropsy, with a weak, heart.
Allies.—Apocynum c., Tabac., Hell., China, Ferr
Bry., the Alkalies (Calc., Kali, Bar.), Zinc.
Generalities, Lay on back prostrated, scarcely able

Clinical.--The characteristic fever, intermittent fever, for
which this drug should be prescribed, has thirst beginning before
the chill and continuing during both chill and heat; it is ex-
tremely important to observe that vomiting is particularly apt to
result from drinking or taking any mourishment, either before or
after the chill and fever; this vomiting from taking water is much
more characteristic of the drug than the bone-pains, especially the
vomiting of bile as the chill passes off; the violent bone-pains, the
violent headache, pain and Soreness of the muscles, are the
universal accompaniments of the intermittent fever; the patient
feels as if all the bones were breaking; it is very frequently ob-
served that these Eupatorium cases present an incomplete par-
oxysm, for the chill and fever are well marked, and perhaps vio-
lent, and yet the sweat is entirely wanting; while this is usually
the case, it is true that the drug cures cases in which there is a
decided sweating stage. Valuable for catarrhal fevers, especially
if there is bilious vomiting, with Soreness of the chest and muscles
and bone-pains, running from eyes and nose, Soreness of the eye-
balls, Soreness of head, etc.

Pure Iron, reduced by Hydrogen, is triturated for use.
General Action.—Iron acts chiefly on the blood,
producing more rapid oxydation, with rise of temper-
ature, at first an increase of red color (or of red
corpuscles), but Subsequently a diminution of red
corpuscles and profound anaemia. The use of the
various preparations of iron for febrile and inflam-
matory states has been greatly neglected.

Clinical.-The very marked symptoms of Fer., of occasional
oppression of chest and difficult breathing, may be compared with
those of Phos.; Fer. is certainly extremely useful when the chest
symptoms seem to occur from a kind of surging of blood to the
chest, a not infrequent sympton in persons whose circulation is
feeble, in such cases there are oppression and dyspnoea. It has
been prescribed for asthma and even for pneumonia, and it is very
probable that Fer. has been overlooked as a valuable remedy for
inflammation of the thoracic organs, for it certainly may be in-
dicated when there is marked febrile excitement. The cough of
Fer. is usually dry, spasmodic, and may be accompanied by ex-
pectoration of blood, especially if there is the symptom of rush of
blood to the chest; when blood is expectorated it is generally
bright red and associated with great weakness.

Clinical.-The oil of wintergreen has been very largely used
for both acute and subacute rheumatism. The plant itself con-
tains Salicylic acid, and to this fact may be due some of the benefi-
cial effects of the drug. It has also proved useful in pleurodynia
in the anterior part of the chest.

Clinical.—In croup, inflammation of the larynx and trachea,
with hard croupy cough, difficult breathing and fever indicate
the drug. A large number of cases of “membranous” croup have
been cured by the lower dilutions; our experience is that it is
indicated in cases in the early stage with more or less fever, with dry
skin and a very dry cough, great difficulty in respiration; it follows
closely after Acon, ; if Acon. has been given and the patient is not
improving, or if Acon. has relieved only the restlessness and ex-
treme anxiety but not the cough, the patient is still dry and hot
and the cough is still croupy, then give Iod.; it is, however, rarely
useful after febrile excitement has disappeared or if the patient
perspires freely; (this stage, together with the attacks of suffoca-
tive cough, indicates Brom. instead of Iod.). In catarrhal laryngi-
tis the larynx is sore to touch, the cough is dry and croupy, and
there is an excoriating watery discharge from the nose (compare
with Allium cepa). Whooping cough, with emaciation and with
enormous appetite. Chronic laryngeal catarrh, with dry croupy

Cough. Constriction; then pressure, in afternoon stick-
ing. Tightness in middle, sometimes 1., sometimes r.
side, with pressure and burning. Heaviness, causing
difficult respiration.
Clinical.—It is one of our most valuable remedies for pneu-
monia; in these cases it must be carefully differentiated on the one
side from Acon. and on the other from Bry.; it lacks the anxiety
of Acon, and the sticking pains of Bry, but it has the high fever of
each; like Bry, it is indicated when hepatization has taken place
(contraindicating Acon.) and the cough is dry; it was formerly
Supposed that left-sided pneumonia indicated Tod., but it is now
known that it is equally useful in pneumonia of either side; it is
particularly useful in the pneumonia of scröfulous subjects, espe-
cially in pneumonia at the apex. Phthisis pulmonaris, with rough
voice, dry cough and night-sweats.

served on the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts; it
produces nausea and vomiting (one of its most con-

some cases, violent neuralgia of the eyes and head,
with intense congestion of the conjunctiva, lachryma-
tion, etc.

Clinical.—It has been used for a great variety of diseases of .
the nose, but a general characteristic is the peculiarly tough, ad-
herent secretions; these may exist in subacute or chronic inflam-
mation of the mucous membrane or there may be ulceration, but
the ulcers are usually round and deep and do not spread laterally;
(the ulcers of Merc. are extensive and superficial). The sensations
in the nose are usually those of obstruction and swelling, especially
pressure at the root, sometimes with violent pain extending into
the cheek-bones or around the eyes. In a few cases it has cured
catarrh with watery excoriating discharge, but in these cases there
were generally adherent scabs in the nose covering ulcerated spots.

Kali Bromatum.
The pure Bromide of Potash is dissolved in distilled water
(1 to 99) for the first dilution.
General Action,-Like other potash salts it weakens
the heart and lowers the temperature. Its chief inter-
est lies in the “Bromism * caused by it, the seat of
which is in the spinal cord or the nerves leading to the
brain cells. Tetaniform convulsions and even opis-
thotonos in animals; in man, general failure of men-
tal power, especially loss of memory and of words and
melancholia, anaesthesia of the mucous membranes,
especially of eyes and throat, and of the skin; acne;
loss of sexual desire, imbecility, idiocy, paralysis.

Generalities.—Emaciation. Marasmus. Diminishes
the retrograde metamorphosis of tissue. Diminishes
mucous secretions. Capillary circulation affected,
independent of heart and arteries. Threw himself
down, closed his eyes, seemed above the earth, quite
happy. Crouched by the fireside all day, devoid of
energy and resolution. Convulsions, > appearance of
eruption, papules of acne united in areas, on these
areas yellowish points beneath skin, on the surface a
crust, and where this was rubbed the surface became

self upright. Fainting. Inability to move or feel.
Diminished nervous sensibility in general and espe-
cially diminution of reflex sensibility. Insensibility.
Clinical.-Convulsions, epileptiform in character, but it is
doubtful whether the drug really cures true epilepsy; it certainly
suppresses the convulsions for the time, in many cases, but it does
not seem to remove the constitutional tendency to their recurrence;
nearly all cases of epilepsy are obliged to continue taking the
drug, often in increasing doses, in order to obtain its palliative
effect. -
Mind,-Delirium. Delusions about persecution and
violence. Imagined that he was singled out for Divine
vengeance, loudly deplored his fate, but at intervals
fell asleep suddenly, then Sound sleep, next day he
walked the room, groaning and wringing his hands,
said the officers were in search of him for robbing a
friend. Delusion that she was deserted by her friends,
hence she passed her waking moments, which were
not many, in tears, another delusion that she saw her
child dead, and when it was brought to her she refused
to acknowledge that it was hers or resembled the one
she imagined dead. Delusion that lewd women had
got into his mother's house, that he was pursued by
the police, that his life was threatened by members of
his family, that he had gold sewed up in his clothing,
his appearance and manner similar to those of a
drunken man, except that he was very pale, pulse
slow, skin cool, pupils contracted, manner excited and
rambling, hands constantly busy, timid and suspi-
cious, attempted to throw himself from a window and
battered down a door to escape from danger. Delu-
sions, with melancholy, imagined that she was in-
sulted and that the weekly bills of the landlord were
evidences of a conspiracy against her father, gave a
loud shriek and declared that she had seen her brother
fall overboard. Violent excitement, glorying in his
imaginary power of mind and body, then despondent,
sullen, often lachrymose, frequently even despairing.
Feeling that everything felt, seen or thought had been
experienced before, as in a dream. Hallucinations of
sight and sound, with or without mania, precede
apathy and paralysis. -
Singing and dancing, Saying that he was the happi-

General Action.--All the salts of potash are poison-
ous (even though potash is necessary to the integrity
of tissues). They enfeeble the heart, lower the tem-
perature and cause anaemia. They promote tissue
waste, increasing the amount of urine and its solid
constituents, especially uric acid and urea. (Among
the potashes in our Materia Medica are to be classed
Causticum and Tartar emetic.) In studying the symptom-
atology special attention should be paid to the char-
acter of the secretions from mucous membranes, to the
pains and the time of aggravation.

Cold from the slightest exposure; the patients are weak, short-
breathed, they have the swellings under the eyebrows and the
gastric symptoms of the drug; it is almost as frequently indicated
as Calc. carb., though the Kali patient is worse from cold, while
the Calc, patient is worse from dampness; the chronic troubles
requiring Kali should be sent to a warm climate, though moist;
those requiring Calc. should be sent to a dry climate, though cold.
The expectoration of this drug is scanty and difficult to raise; it is
very apt to remain adherent to the pharynx or slips back when
partially expectorated. It has something of the stringy character
of Kali bich, but is less tenacious and less profuse. Like all the
Kalis it is frequently indicated in asthma, which seems to be con-
stitutional and hereditary, the patient wakes at 3 or 4 A.M. with
dyspnoea, wheezing and sharp pain in chest on breathing; (Kali
nit. is particularly indicated by burning in chest and freer secretion

|Kali Chloricum.
A solution of pure chlorate of Potassium in distilled water (1 to
99) is taken for the first dilution.
General Action.—This, the most poisonous of all the
Kali Chloricum,
Kali Chloricum.
606
Salts of Potassium, depresses and paralyzes the heart
and lowers the temperature very rapidly. It is a vio-
lentirritant to the whole gastro-intestinal mucous mem-
brane, producing gangrenous ulceration in the mouth
and throat, ulceration of the stomach and bowels
and terrible dysentery, with profound prostration. It
causes at first diuresis, followed by suppression of
urine and violent nephritis; on this account, particu-
larly, it is a very dangerous drug in diphtheria, and
cases have been killed by its unwise administration.
Its action on the respiratory tract is marked.

Kali Iodatum.
A first dilution is made by dissolving 1 part of Iodide of Po-
tassium in 99 parts of water.
General Action.—The action of this salt differs from
that of Iodine as shown by the depressing action of
Potassium and by less tendency to febrile excitement.
In the respiratory tract we find catarrhal inflamma-
tion, with freer secretions and less fever (it has produced
bloody expectoration). The increased salivation and
urine followed by nephritis are similar to Iodine.

Clinical.-The use of the drug in massive doses for symp-
toms of secondary syphilis, such as caries of the bones, syphilitic

tonsillitis and pharyngitis to the most terrible and destructive
diphtheritic process; in the latter disease, and indeed in nearly all
cases requiring the drug, the throat is purple (not bright red and
oedematous like Apis). It is not only indicated in diphtheritic and
ulcerative diseases, but in certain phases of scarlet fever, with
gangrenous throat; it has also proved useful in syphilitic ulcera-
tion of the throat. In all the diseases of the throat indicating

tend from throat into the ear, on 1. side. Elongation of uvula,

sleep, etc. The most frequent indications for Lach. in all diseases
of the uterus and ovaries are the intolerance of the weight of the
clothing and the tendency of the disease to extend from 1. to r.,
with these conditions it has cured almost every pathological con-
dition of the female organs, tumors, inflammations, displacements,
indurations, neuralgias, etc.

Clinical.-Most of the symptoms of this drug seem to be re-
ferred to the sexual organs of women; it causes severe uterine
neuralgia and feeling of heaviness and pressure in pelvis, especially
pressure against the rectum, with ineffectual efforts to evacuate the .
bowels; these symptoms have repeatedly pointed to its use in
retroversion of the uterus. It has proved valuable, at least as a
palliative, in some cases of chronic metritis, and curative in many
cases of prolapsus and of both anteversion and retroversion, par-
ticularly with the pressure against the rectum. With the rectal
symptoms it has been prescribed for dysentery, with tenderness
over the ovarian region, etc., it is also valuable for troubles in the
bladder with the same symptoms. The desire to press upward
against the vulva or to hold up the abdominal walls is similar to
the symptoms of Sepia, but in Lilium there is generally much
more tenderness and more shooting pains. Very free leucorrhoea,
often excoriating, with distress on urinating. With the uterine dis-
placements and ovarian pains we very commonly find palpitation
and numerous nervous symptoms about the heart, as if the heart
were grasped, as if it contained too much blood, tremulous feeling,
etc., etc.; sometimes terrible pain running up the back to the ver-
tex, spasmodic contractions of muscles, etc., etc. The ovarian
symptoms should be compared with those of Palladium, Pod. and
Apis. w

glands of the skunk is di-
Mercurius.
Triturations of pure Quicksilver, or of Hahnemann's black oxide
(Mercurius solubilis, Hahnemanni), are used. It is probable that
there is no essential difference in the effects of the two preparations.
Pure Quicksilver is, however, to be preferred as more stable and
perfectly pure. -
General Action,-Mercury produces in general pro-
found anaemia, with degeneration of the red corpus-
cles, loss of albumen and febrin and diminished coag-
ulability of the blood; with this there is a marked
tendency to destructive action, as seen in the inability
of Wounds to heal and in ulcerations of mucous Sur-
faces and of the skin. Sore mouth, salivation, destruc-
tion of the teeth and gums, with enlarged glands, are
among the earliest manifestations. Inflammation of
the liver, and especially of the kidneys, is an almost
constant effect. A low type of ſever and a condition
resembling scurvy frequently ensue. Instead of the
ulcerations and inflammations nervous phenomena
Sometimes occur, paralysis agitans, epilepsy, melan-
cholia, neuralgia and a remarkable chorea. The long
bones are attacked rather than the flat ones (opposite
of syphilis). The iris is never affected. -
Allies.—Iod, Nit. ac., Hep., Lyc., Nat. m.; Plat., Aur.,
Tellur., Phos.
Generalities. Foul smell of whole body and breath.
Emaciation (Iod.); then the frame speedily acquired
greater bulk than it previously had. Cachectic con-
dition. Child of a woman-worker was badly nourished
and when a year old had no teeth. A daughter born
during her mercurialismus was very small, only learned
to walk when three years old, never was over four feet
in height, had kyphoskoliotic curvature of the spine,
head was drawn to chest and somewhat to left, and
there was imperfect development of muscle and bone.
Consumption. Scrofula in children; and rachitis.

gluteal muscles and those of pelvis and shoulder were
less affected, those of upper arm, anterior chest and
face not at all; after long standing or walking, - rest;
on attempting to move; on muscular exertion, except
of neck and face, then they extended to muscles not in
motion, so that the outstretched hand trembled, <
stretching fingers, and on repeated pronation and supi-

shock wakes him as soon as he falls asleep and the T.
begins anew ; paralytic. Parocysmal trembling ; gen-
erally worse in morning than in evening; from excite-
ment or physical exertion, at times resembling the
shaking of ague; so that he was liable to break what-
ever he touched, movement of legs So irregular that in
descending stairs he must sometimes jump over two
or three steps at once, to avoid this he crawled back-
ward and on his hands, if he drank out of a glass it
was crushed by the spasmodic clenching of jaws; and
regular vibrations of almost the whole locomotive ap-
paratus, apparently caused by alternate muscular
relaxation and contraction, more in upper than lower
limbs and on 1. side, < attempting certain movements,
especially if of a tonic character, and these more dis-
ordered in proportion as they required precision and
voluntary effort. Those who had salivation rarely had
tremors. -
Jerking (Plumb.); in tendons of fingers, toes and
tendo-achillis in evening, with shaking chill that
tossed him into the air; of head, arms and fingers, <
l, angles of mouth retracted, brows twitching, head

raised the arms, nostrils spasmodically dilated, short,
rapid and painful contractions of sterno-mastoid, tra-
pezius, scaleni, diaphragm and abdominal muscles,
hiccough, speech interrupted and indistinct from
jerking of tongue, attacks caused by a sudden cold
blast, application of cold hand to the skin or abrupt
entrance of any person into the ward, when he trans-
mitted volition to any part it was instantly affected,
when he tried to raise his foot from the ground it
quivered and fell useless, when he attempted to put a
vessel to his lips he carried it towards his ear, nose or
forehead and spilled the contents on his face or neck.
Motions as in chorea before the desired motion is
affected, or convulsive motions involving neighboring
groups of muscles, better able to hold heavy objects
than light ones, hands and arms affected first, then
lower limbs, then head in violent cases, the general
trembling alternates with stammering, sometimes one
half of body affected more than the other, Sometimes
they can ascend and descend steps with difficulty, as in
tabes dorsalis, but cannot eat or drink, while in others
these conditions are reversed, some cannot drink with-
out assistance, because the water is spilled before it
reaches the mouth, but they can carry food to the
mouth by supporting the arm, one has to be held by
several persons while he drinks. In its first attack
it may be taken for St. Vitus's dance, in its later
stages for delirium tremens.

remarkable chorea of all drugs known to medicine; it is of the
most violent character and extremely obstimate; but few cases of
chorea have, however, been reported cured by this drug; it may
be indicated by the general cachexia of the patient rather than by
the character of the spasms). Diseases of the bones, especially
periostitis of the long bones; rarely indicated for affections of the
bones which syphilis attacks; it is almost completely complemen-
tary to syphilis, attacking only the bones which syphilis does not

voluntary, characterized by extreme hyperaesthesia of

and seem to arise from the action of the poison on the

affected. Careful experiments have developed very
prominent effects on the gastro-intestinal canal as well
as on the vaSO-motor nerves; well marked gastro-in-
testinal catarrh accompanies an irregular action of the
peristaltic muscles of the stomach and bowels; well
defined paroxysms of chill, fever and sweat are asso-
ciated with the disturbances of the circulation. Very
few tissue changes have been observed (mostly result-
ing from malnutrition).

General Action.—A tissue drug of first rank as well
as a most virulent poison. It inflames and causes de-
generation of the mucous membrane of the entire ali-
mentary canal, causing gastritis, entero-colitis and
dysentery, all characterized by destructive processes
and haemorrhage. It inflames the kidneys. It causes
acute yellow atrophy of the liver as well as a subacute
hepatitis. It causes inflammation of the whole respi-
ratory tract and pleuro-pneumonia. It produces an
inveterate myelitis of the spinal cord and other nerves,
with consequent paralyses. It destroys bone, par-
ticularly attacking the jaw and tibiae. It disorganizes
the blood and produces haematogenous jaundice. It
causes fatty degeneration of every tissue and organ in
the body, predisposing to haemorrhages.

gray, fetid suppuration exhales, after an uncertain .
period this separates without any new bone being
formed. ' --

Platinum Muriaticum.
This salt is dissolved in water for use.
Clinical.—This preparation of Platinum has been found
valuable in caries of the bones, particularly of the nasal bones
and of the tarsus. It has been used in syphilis after Mercury
and Aurum.
Plumbum.
Pure precipitated lead is triturated with sugar of milk.
General Action,--It produces general interstitial in-
flammation characterized by proliferation of connec-
tive tissue (nerve, muscle and parenchyma of Organs).
The most striking effects of lead appear to originate
from its action on the spinal cord and the nerves pro-
ceeding from it, namely, colic with violent contraction
of the intestines and abdominal parietes; obstinate
constipation. Paralysis, attacking chiefly the flexors
of the extremities and finally becoming general; ter-
rific pains in the extremities. The brain degenerates,
epilepsy, various disturbances of the mental powers,
even imbecility, result. Various organs undergo de-
generation (Sclerosis), kidney, heart, liver, etc.

understand what is said; talks like a child who has
not learned to speak plainly, sometimes cannot get

11 P.M. till forenoon. After a spoonful of nourish-
ment he choked, vomited blood and pus and died

bling. Commotion, waking him at midnight, with
general sick feeling and desire for stool, stool with

Only three till after noon, but copious, grayish and
Smelling putrid.

irritation and Smarting, urine saffron-yellow, staining
like bile, Scanty, sp. gr. 1028, urea increased. Frequent
micturition; efforts at, but only a few drops each time.
Ischuria. Dysuria. Painful micturition on account
of burning in urethra, with constant desire, only a few
drops staining intensely yellow. M. involuntary and
copious towards morning; involuntary, by drops, urine
deep Orange-colored, becoming blood-red by admixture
of azotic acid. &
Urine. — Pale, copious, alkaline. Yellowish and
Scanty. Intensely yellow. Dark. Orange-colored.
Saffron-colored, and increased. Dark lemon-yellow,
scanty, depositing dark yellow crystals of uric acid,
nitric acid caused transient brownish-red color, alkalies
caused an amaranth red color. Sulphur-yellow, thick,
depositing a Sulphur-yellow sediment, the urine above
which was slightly greenish. Pinkish-red after stand-
ing. Turbid when voided, frequent and painful de-
sire, urine scanty, dysury. Greenish; yellowish-green;
light green and stained linen so that it could not be
washed out; greenish-yellow, liquor ammonia caused
a clear, red tint; green, becoming transiently purplish
from nitric acid, but when sulphuric acid is added
by drops it becomes reddish-brown, if a globule, of
potassium be dropped on the urine a bright red track
is left, if a few drops of liquor ammonia are poured
down the side of the test tube a red zone will mark
the junction of the two liquids, but potash is a more
delicate reagent, the red alkaline fluid is not altered by
boiling, but the color is destroyed by any acid, the Sub-
sequent addition of an alkali restores the color as be-
fore, bicarbonate of sodium causes no immediate
change, but on boiling some time the reddish tint
gradually develops and is discharged by continued
boiling, carbonate of sodium gives similar results, ex-
cept that it requires longer boiling before the color is
discharged, phosphate of sodium gives no results, the
red stratum soon subsides to lower part of test tube,
carried down by the phosphates, prolonged exposure
to light in contact with excess of alkali bleaches the
color and chlorine at once dissipates it, when the red
liquid is examined with the spectroscope the red,
orange and yellow rays are transmitted, while the blue
end is absorbed, in a more dilute state the red and blue
rays are transmitted. Cherry-red when caustic potash
is added, but no sugar is obtained with the copper
test. A pint was treated with neutral acetate of lead
and then filtered, to the filtrate, neutralized with pot-
ash, basic acetate of lead was added as long as any
precipitate was formed and it became colorless, neu-
tralized, filtered and washed, the yellow precipitate
was transferred to a beaker and decomposed by dilute
sulphuric acid, spirit of wine was added, and after
twenty-four hours filtered, removed excess of Sulphuric
acid by barytic water, filtered, the clear fluid now gave
the pink reaction with potash, but ammonia had no
effect, the red alkaline filtrate gave a bulky precipitate
with alum, and when this precipitate was filtered off
neither the precipitate nor the filtrate afforded any
color with potash, the liberated coloring substance did
not combine with nitrate of silver, was not affected
by corrosive sublimate, sulphocyanide of potassium,
chloride of gold or bichromate of potassium, with
persalts of iron it gave a rich, brown color.

Secale Cornutum.
A tincture is made of the fresh fungus, ergot of rye.
General Effects.--The chief interest in the action of
ergot centres about its power to produce tonic con-
tractions of involuntary muscle fibre; the arterioles
are violently and persistently contracted, causing dry
coldness of the surface and even gangrene of the lower
extremities; the peristaltic muscles of the bowels are
affected and the gravid uterus contracts violently.
Convulsions are liable to occur. Anaesthesia and
paralysis result, particularly tremblings and para-
plegia.
Allies.—Tabac., Ars., Phos., Ustil., Carbo v., Sabin.,
Verat. a., Plumb.
Generalities, Emaciation. Consumption. Secre-
tions diminished. Gangrene of stomach, lungs and

cure of neuralgic pains which affect every part of the

palliative of the pains accompanying such conditions.

etc., etc.

Strophanthus Hispidus.
A tincture is made of the seeds of this plant, which belongs to
that great order of cardiac poisons, namely, the Apocynaceae. It
acts directly upon the cardiac muscle. Compare Apocynum can.,
and allies.
From a toxic dose, the heart, together with other
muscles of the body, passes at the first Onset from
contraction to cadaveric rigidity, and its muscular
fibre assumes an acid reaction. The action upon the
heart is accompanied by an increase of blood-press-
ure, and in certain conditions by increase of urine
and by lowering of the temperature. Face flushed,
lips scarlet, eyes brilliant, temperature high, skin dry,
pupils dilating and contracting alternately every few
seconds, pulse 140, arteries distended, l. ventricle con-
tracting with unusual vigor, aortic valves closing with
a loud and distinct “tup,” a slight mitral regurgitant
murmur, loquacity, no micturition for ten hours.
Purging and vomiting.
Clinical.—It has been found valuable for weak heart, the
pulse becomes slower, stronger and more regular; it acts well in
chronic nephritis, it increases the flow of urine and diminishes the
dropsy, it, however, does not seem to act well when there is much
Oedema of the lungs. It acts best in functional disturbance of the
heart, frºm alcohol, tobacco, tea.
Sulfur.
Pure sublimed Sulphur is triturated for use (a tincture, saturated
solution with alcohol, represents the first centesimal dilution).
General Action.-A tissue remedy of widest range.
Since Sulphur is an integral part of every form of
protoplasm, it follows that all tissues become affected
by its abnormal exhibition, and no particular limit or
character can be assigned to it. Its action on the
dermoid tissues is, however, very pronounced.
Allies.—Lyc., Puls., Phos., Rhus t, Calc. C., Nat. m.,
Sep., Aloe, Hep. s.
Generalities.—Emaciation (Iod., Nat. m.). Blood
darker in color and richer in white corpuscles; the
venous blood seemed partly melanotic, changed less in
the air and in part did not become red, the arterial
blood was redder and turbid, dependent on the dis-
solved coloring matter of the blood, the blood took up
less Oxygen and gave out less carbonic acid than before
the use of the Sulphur, coagulum formed slowly, clot
three per cent, larger than before; from large doses
death of so many corpuscles that they cannot be
eliminated, but if continued smaller doses are taken
the blood is freed from blood-corpuscles which are
dissolved; solid constituents of both serum and albumen
diminished; solid constituents and blood-corpuscles
diminished, it gave out more carbonic acid and took
up more oxygen; diminution of solid constituents, of
Serum, albumen, fat, fibrin, blood-corpuscles and clot,
in only two observations was there increase of fibrin,
in a third increase of fat and clot, in a fourth of serum
and albumen, in a fifth of serum and clot, in general
every Secretion and excretion is increased (Phos.; Calc. c.).

the house in agony, Smarting pain, hot and cold, start-
ing from the bite to small of back and then returning
to the bite, this alternating pain lasted all night.
Falling suddenly as if struck by apoplexy, then short-
ness of breath, blackness of face, hands, etc., he re-
vived as he heard music, sighed, moved first his feet,
then hands and rest of body, and on being raised to
his feet danced vigorously, sighed deeply, rolled upon
the ground, kicked vigorously, the dance was repeated
for three days and he was restored by the perspiration
thus induced, but each year, about the time of the
bite, pain reappeared in the affected part, with the above
Symptoms in less intensity, again > music and dancing.
Stretched upon the ground and seemed about to
expire, when he heard the music he got up as quick
as lightning, seemed awakened by a frightful vision,
stared wildly about, still moving every joint, when I
stopped playing he fell down in an instant and cried,
every part was distorted, he scraped the earth with
his hands, on hearing the music again he arose as
before and danced wildly, keeping perfect time but

degree of Summer heat, the T. in northern Apulia are
fiercer and the symptoms severer, the patients are

Zincum.
Pure metallic zinc is triturated for use.
General Action-Zinc produces a marked derange-
ment of the whole cerebro-spinal system; delirium,
spasms, violent neuralgias, tremblings, extreme hyper-
aesthesia and paralysis. There seems no doubt that it
affects not only the meninges of the brain and cord,
but also the nerve-structure itself. Its action on mucous
membranes is particularly seen in the eye, gastro-
intestinal canal and bronchi. Its action on the blood
is well established; marked anaemia (deficiency of
red corpuscles) with profound prostration results. Its
action on the skin is shown in the eczematous erup-
tions which it produces.
