CHAPTER I.
INTERNAL GENERAL AFFECTIONS.
SECTION I.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
ABSCESS (INTERNAL).--Abscess in the internal organs re-
quires generally the same treatment, as when it takes place in
the external organs. (See Chap. II.)
ADENITIS.-See GLANds.
ANASARCA.-See Chap. II.
ANŒMIA.—The best medicines are in general: Calc. carb-v.
chin. cin. fer. hep. kal. lyc. lach. merc. natr. natr-m. n-vom.
phos. phos-ac. sep. sil. staph. sulph. verat.
If this state arises from debilitating losses, whether of blood
or any other humours, the most eligible medicines are: Chin.
n-vom. and sulf. or else: Calc. carb-v. cin. phos-ac. staph. and
sulph.
When caused by VIOLENT ACUTE DISEASES, recourse may be
had to Calc. carb-v. chin. hep. kal. natr. natr-m. n-vom. and
veratr.
See also: CHLOROSIS, WEAKNESS, SCURVY, &c.
ANEURISM.-The medicines, which have been hitherto em-
ployed most successfully, are; Carb-v. lach. and lyc. and also :
Guaj. pulsat. and sulph.-In some cases recourse may be had
to: Calc. caust, and graph. or else to: Amb. arn. ars. fer.
natr-m. zinc.

ARSENIC (Effects from abuse of).-See Chap. XXVI.

CHAP. I. GENERALITIES.
ARTHRITIS or GOUT.-The medicines which have been found
most efficacious in arthritic affections, are generally: Acon.
ant. ars. bell. bry. calc. caus. chin. cocc. coloc. fer. guaj. hep.
iod. led. mang. n-vom. phos. phos-ac. puls. rhod. sabin. sass.
sulph. and in some cases perhaps: Canth. chel. cic. colch. con.
daph. dulc. men. merc. stann. tart. and thuy.
For ACUTE arthritis, the principal medicines are: Acon. ant.
ars. bell, bry, chin. fer. hep. n-vom. puls.
For CHRONIC arthritis, besides the preceding: Calc. caus.
coloc. guaj. iod. mang. phos-ac. rhod. sass. sulph.
For arthritis VAGA, principally: Arn. mang. n-mos. n-vom.
puls. or else: Asa. daph. plum. and rhod.
Arthritic NODOSITIES require especially: Agn. ant. bry. calc.
carb-v. graph. led. n-vom. rhod, and staph., or perhaps also
Aur. dig. lyc. phos. sabin. sep. sil. zinc.
Arthritic contractions are often relieved by: Bry. caus. guaj,
sulph.; and calc. coloc. rhus. sil. thuy. may be also employed.
Recourse may be had to the same medicines against arthritic
PRECURSORS and METASTASES: but the PRECURSORS will be
often successfully combated by nux-vom. and recent METAS-
TASES by bellad.—See, also, ARTHRITIC CEPHALALGIA, OPH-
THALMIA, &c.
In arthritic affections of persons addicted to SPIRITUOUS
LIQUORS: Acon. calc. n-vom. sulph. may be preferred, or else:
Ars. chin. hep. iod. lach. led. puls.
For those who live on too SUCCULENT food, principally:
Ant. calc. iod. puls. and sulph.
For persons who WORK IN THE WATER, especially: Calc.
puls. sass. and sulph., or else also: Ant. ars. dulc. n-mos. and
rhus.
:
As to particular indications which may direct to the choice
of any individual medicine, it is necessary, especially in CHRO-
NIC ARTHRITIS, to attend to the TOTALITY OF THE CONSTI-
TUTIONAL SYMPTOMS, to the state of the stomach, intestines,
lungs, brain, &c. For the different pains and other symptoms
which accompany ACUTE ARTHRITIS, See and compare RHEU-
MATISM.
ARTHROCACE.-Coloc. and phos-ac. have been principally re-
commended against that morbid state, which sometimes accom-
panies chronic inflammations of the joints. Perhaps Calc.
hep. sil. and sulph. may be also employed.
ASPHYXIA or APPARENT DEATH.-Homœopathic medicines may
be administered in almost all cases, either by putting some
globules on the tongue of the patient, or by dissolving them in
water, and applying them in the form of a clyster. It is clearly
understood that mechanical aid ought not to be neglected, but
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
3
phlebotomy, which in the majority of cases only injures, ought
to be avoided.
If asphyxia is caused by a fall, arn. may be used, especially if
the patient has not been bled. In the contrary case, or if con-
siderable loss of blood has been occasioned by the fall itself, it
will be better to administer china first, and arnica afterwards.
When asphyxia is the result of SUFFOCATION, in consequence
of STRANGULATION, opium should be employed: when it arises
from DELETERIOUS GASSES, opium, or perhaps also, aconit. or
bellad.; and in case of DROWNING, lachesis should be princi-
pally used.
When asphyxia has been caused by CONGELATION, Ars.
carb-v. or acon. and bryon. may be opposed to the sufferings
which succeed resuscitation.
If asphyxia has been produced by LIGHTNING, n-vom.
should be administered in preference to any other medicine, and
the patient should be placed, half-sitting, half-lying, in newly
excavated earth, with which the whole body should be covered,
except the face, which must be turned towards the sun, until
the first signs of life exhibit themselves.
When asphyxia occurs in new born infants, tart. or opium, or
chin. ought to be administered.
ATROPHY.—(EMACIATION).—See ATROPHY OF CHILDREN,
HECTIC FEVER, TABES DORSALIS,
MARASMUS SENILIS,
PHTHISIS and SCROFULA.
ATROPHY OF CHILDREN.-The best medicines that can be
opposed to atrophy of SCROFULOUS CHILDREN, are: Sulph. fol-
lowed by calc. and also: Ars. bar-c. bell. chin. cin. n-vom.
phos. and rhus, or else: Arn. cham. hep. iod. lach. magn. petr.
phos. and puls.
Amongst these medicines, the preference may be given to
ARSENICUM, when the following symptoms are observed:
Dryness of the skin, which resembles parchment; hollow eyes,
surrounded by a livid circle; anorexia or vomiting of food;
Desire to drink often, but little at a time; excessive agitation and
tossing, especially at night; short sleep, interrupted by starts and
convulsive jerks; oedematous swelling of the face; loose fæces
of a greenish or brownish colour, with evacuation of ingesta;
fatigue, with want to remain continually in a recumbent pos-
ture; coldness of the hands and feet; palpitation of the heart;
nocturnal perspiration.

CHINA; excessive emaciation, especially of the hands and
feet; œdematous swelling of the abdomen; voraciousness; diarr-
hæa, especially at night, with evacuation of ingesta, or frequent
whitish evacuations of the consistence of pap; frequent pers-

in general: Acon. coff. cham. dulc. merc. n-vom. puls. and
sulph. and also: Ars. bry, calc. carb-v. ipec. and sil.
If the affections caused by a chill, are ACUTE and PAINFUL,
it will be necessary to employ especially: Acon. ars. bell. cham.
coff. n-vom. and puls.; but when there is, on the contrary,
little pain, dulc. and ipec. will be found suitable in the majority
of cases.
OBSTINATE OF CHRONIC sufferings caused by a chill, mostly
require: Carb-veg. calc. silic. and sulph.
The effects of a chill IN THE water, or of COLD, DAMP AIR,
require principally: Calc. dulc. puls. and sulph., or else: Ars.
carb-veg. nux-mos. rhus. and sassap.; and: Antim. calc. carb-
veg. and sulph. may be employed against sufferings brought on
by bathing.
Chills in the stomach, caused by partaking of ices, fruits, or
acids, generally yield to puls. or ars.
The effects of an ERUPTION SUPPRESSED BY A CHILL demand
in preference ipec. or bryon.; those of a SUPPRESSED RHEUM:
Chin. or lach. or puls. ; and those of CHECKED PERSPIRATION:
Bell. bry. cham. chin. dulc. or silic.; while in the case of per-
sons who are apt to take cold, in consequence of PERSPIRING
FREELY : Carb-v. chin. hep. merc. phosph-ac. will frequently
succeed.
A DISPOSITION to suffer too easily from a chill, will be most

effectually combated by carb-v. calc. and sil. administered at
intervals of six, eight, or ten weeks, provided that the consti-
tution and other affections of the patient do not exhibit a
closer affinity to Bell. chin. coff. dulc. and n-vom.
The medicines which merit a preference in the case of per-
sons, who suffer from the slightest exposure to COLD air, are
especially Bryon, calc. carb-veg. merc. rhus-tox. and veratr. ;
and also: nux-vom, or cham. when the least breath of cold air
causes shiverings; and arsen. if cold air generally produces
pain.
Great SENSITIVENESS TO WIND is overcome, especially by
by carb-veg. lach. or lycop. Sensibility to CURRENTS OF AIR
is subdued by: Bell. calc. silic. and sulph., and that to the
COOL EVENING AIR, by: Carb-veg. merc. and sulph.
A remedy is generally found for chills caused by BOISTEROUS
and DAMP WEATHER, in Calc. carb-veg. dulc. lach. rhodod. rhus.
or veratr.; for those caused by STORMY WEATHER, in: Bryon.
rhod. silic.; for those produced by a CHANGE OF WEATHER in :
Calc. carb-veg. dulc. lach, merc. rhus. silic. sulph. and veratr.
(When the weather changes FROM HEAT TO COLD, dulc. is
often especially preferable; while a change FROM COLD TO
HEAT is often more successfully encountered by carb-veg.)
Chills in SPRING often require: carb-veg. rhus. and veratr. ;
those in SUMMER principally: Bell. bryon. carb veg. and dulc.;
those in AUTUMN especially: Merc. rhus. and veratr.
Chills felt in WINTER require especially, when it is a DRY
COLD: Acon. bell. bryon. or cham. ipec. nux-vom. and sulph.;
when it is a DAMP COLD: Dulc. and veratr. will be oftener found
suitable.
With respect to particular affections caused by a chill, a pre-
ference should be given to :
ACONITUM, when there are: Odontalgia, prosopalgia, or
other neuralgia, with head-ache, congestion of blood in the
head, humming in the ears, pain in the limbs, as if beaten,

COFFEE (Sufferings from the abuse of).-The best medicines are
in general: Cham. cocc. ign. and nux-vom., and also in some
cases: Bell. carb-v. merc. rhus. puls. and sulph.
Among these medicines, a preference may be given to :
CHAMOMILLA, if there are: Head-ache or tooth-ache; exces-
sive sensibility to the least pain, with cries and tears; pains in
the stomach, which are removed for a time by the use of coffee;
violent colic; great anguish in the pit of the stomach, with a

COCCULUS, when there are: Weakness, with perspiration, on
every movement, and trembling of the limbs; starts during
sleep; flushes of heat; tooth-ache when eating; sensation of
emptiness in the head; gastralgia; excessive sadness and
anguish; aggravation of all the sufferings in the open air,
from movement, from eating or drinking, from sleep and from
tobacco-smoke.
IGNATIA, against: Head-ache, as if a nail were driven into

excessive sensibility to the open air; lively and choleric tem-
perament.
For the other medicines, See, in the particular organs,
the affections which are caused by abuse of coffee.
The CHRONIC consequences often yield to merc. or sulph., if
cham. nux-vom. or ign. are insufficient.
CONGESTIONS (SANGUINEOUS.)-See the organs which are
liable to be attacked by them.
CONSTITUTION AND TEMPERAMENT.—We have given,
under the heads of the several medicines, some general ideas of
the different constitutions and temperaments, to which they
are respectively suitable. When bringing them, in this reper-
tory, under a single view (See Sect. 3, CHARACTERS), we have
still further increased them; but we cannot refrain from warning
the homoeopathic student against the inconvenience that must
result from basing the choice of medicines on these indications,
which are so incomplete that they will lead him into error, if a
due consideration of the totality of symptoms be neglected.

DEBILITY (WEAKNESS).—In many cases, debility is, it is true,
only a symptom of another disease, with the cure of which
strength returns. But debility is often also the fundamental
source of several sufferings, and especially when it is occa-
sioned by loss of humours, excessive coition, violent acute dis-
eases, and other debilitating causes; and in such cases it must
be combated by means suited to the general state.
The most efficacious remedy for debility, arising from
LOSS OF HUMOURS, is china, but recourse may be often had
also to; Calc. carb-v. cin. laches. n-vom. phosph-ac. sulph. and
veratr.
One of the first remedies for debility, caused by EXCESSIVE
COITION, is also found in china; but if the malady is chronic,
and the cause has exercised its influence on the patient for a
long time; it will be necessary to have recourse to other medi-
cines, such as: Calc. n-vom. phos-ac. sil. staph. and sulph., or
else again to: Arn. anac. carb-v. con. merc. natr-m. phos. and
sep. Calc. is especially indicated, if coition is invariably fol-
lowed by great lassitude, trembling of the legs, fatigue and
pain in the head. Staphys. if the patient is much distressed on
account of his or her culpable excess, with asthmatic suf-
ferings after coition, and hypochondriacal humour.
In the majority of cases, the consequences of MASTUR-
BATION require: N-vom. followed by sulph. and calc., if chin.
phos-ac. or staph. prove insufficient, Carb-v. con. cocc. natr-m.
n-mosch. and phos. will also be often found useful. The best
medicines, to remedy an inclination for this vice, are: Sulph.
and calc., and also: chin. cocc. merc. and phos., or perhaps
also: Ant. carb-v. plat. puls.
The most efficacious medicines for debility, when it is the
result of violent ACUTE DISEASES, are: Chin. hep. sil. and veratr.
or else, calc. kal. natr-m. phos-ac. and sulph.-Chin. is espe-
cially beneficial in the first instance, when the patient has been
copiously bled.
A remedy is frequently found for debility, arising from the
rapid growth of young persons, in phos-ac.

NERVOUS DEBILITY, See HYSTERICAL sufferings (Chap. XXII.)
and NERVOUS excitability.
DROPSY.-The medicines which have been hitherto most suc-
cessfully employed against dropsy, are: Ars. chin. dig. dulc.
hell. kal. led. lyc. merc. and sulph., and also: Bry. camph. canth.
convolv. fer. lact. phos. prun. rhus. samb. sep. sol-nig. squil.

also Op. thuy. and zinc.
:
Among these medicines, a preference may be given to:
ACONITUM, against sufferings excited by a sun-stroke, or by
the heat of the fire, and especially when the patient has slept
in the sun, or near a warm fire.
ANTIMONIUM, if the heat of summer can in no way be
endured, or at least if the slightest exertion in that heat speedily
fatigues, with nocturnal perspiration, constant inclination to
sleep, gastric sufferings, &c., and especially if bryon. is insuf-
ficient against that state.
BELLADONNA, if aconitum is insufficient against the effects
of a sun-stroke, or of the heat of the fire, or if there are: Head-
ache, with fulness and expansive pressure, especially in the fore-
head, as if every thing were about to protrude through it, with
aggravation when stooping, on the least movement, and at

22
CHAP. I. GENERALITIES.
hypochondria ; irascible and passionate humour; fear respecting
the future.
CAMPHORA, when aconit. or bellad. are insufficient against
the effects of a sun-stroke, or the heat of the fire.
CARBO VEG., if being over-heated causes head-ache, espe-
cially heaviness, pulsative pains and pressure above the eyes;
soreness of the eyes when making an effort to see, &c.
SILICEA, when heat causes nausea, or other gastric suffer-
ings, and when neither antim. nor bryon. is sufficient against
that state.
DEJECTION, caused by the air being charged with elec-
tricity, heavy and hot weather, yields, according to the cir-
cumstances, most frequently to bry. carb-v. n-vom. or silic.
HUMOUR (weakness from loss of).—See DEBILITY.

staph. and sulph.
Compare GLANDS and Chap. II, CARCINOMA.
INFLAMMATIONS.-The best antiphlogistic that homoeopathy
possesses, is undoubtedly aconit., and in many cases of acute
inflammation, this medicine will subdue the disease; but it
must not be supposed that it can be administered in all cases
as an infallible specific; on the contrary, if aconitum is to do
good, it must be indicated by the totality of symptoms, as
well as every other medicine. There are, in fact, many in-
flammatory diseases (and principally those in which the old
school also forbids phlebotomy) in which the use of aconit. would
only be a loss of time. But, on the other hand, the cases in
which this medicine is almost indispensable, are inflammation
of the serous membranes, with violent febrile heat, hard and
quick pulse, &c.
Sulph. is to CHRONIC, what aconit. is to ACUTE inflamma-
tions, so that those who see hidden inflammation of some
organ at the bottom of every chronic disease, will find as much
reason for reckoning on the extensive efficacy of sulphur, as
those who see in it only psoric corruption. But, in the same
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
23
way as aconit. is not suitable in all cases of acute inflammation,
sulphur is not adapted to all cases of chronic inflammation,
and must only be administered when it is evidently indicated
by the existing symptoms.

organs, and compare FEVERS (INFLAMMATORY), (Chap. ÎV).
JAUNDICE.—See Chap. XVI, ICTERUS.

of marasmus are, in general: Ars. bar-c. bell. calc. chin. cin.
fer. graph. lach. sil. sulph. verat., and recourse may be often
had also to: Ant. arn. carb-v. hep. ipec. lyc. nutr. natr-m.

SPASMS.—Under this head, we have collected the clinical re-
marks which relate to DIFFERENT SPASMODIC AFFECTIONS,
such as CatalEPSY, CHOREA, HYSTERICAL CONVULSIONS, &c.,
ECLAMPSIA, EPILEPSY, TETANUS, &c., since all these affec-
tions present mutual points of contact, and the same medicine
may be as efficacious against one kind of spasms, as against
another, if the concomitant symptoms, which characterize the
36
CHAP. I. GENERALITIES.
case, indicate it. This arrangement will, perhaps, possess
the advantage of exhibiting more clearly, in these various af-
fections, that characteristic by which the choice ought really to
be decided.
The medicines which have been hitherto found most effica-
cious against spasmodic affections are, in general; Bell. calc.
caus. cham. cupr. hyos. ign. ipec. lach. n-vom. opium. sil. stram.
and sulph.; and also: Acon. ang. arn. ars. camph. cic. citr.
cocc. croc. merc. mosch. plat. rhus. silic. stann. sulph. veratr.
zinc-sulph.
In cases in which the AFFECTION IS RECENT, the best me-
dicines are: Acon. ang. arn. bell. camph. cham. cic. citr. cocc. croc.
hyos. ign. ipec. merc. mosch. n-vom. opium. rhus, stram, veratr.
For CHRONIC affections, the most eligible are: Ars. calc.
caus. cupr. lach. plat. silic. stann. sulph. and zinc-sul., provided
one or other of the preceding medicines, such as: Bell. cocc.
croc. hyos. merc. n-vom. rhus. stram. or veratr. be not equally
suitable.
For PARTICULAR spasmodic affections, and especially Cata-
LEPSY, the medicines which have been employed as yet with
the greatest success are: Cham. and stram., and also: Acon.
bell. cic. plat. and veratr.
Against CHOREA, or ST. VITUS' DANCE, the following have
been successfully administered: Bell. caus. cocc. croc. cupr.
hyos. ign.n-vom. stram. or zinc-sulph,, and perhaps also in some
cases: Asa. ars. chin. cic. coff. dulc. iod. puls. sabin. sep. or silic.
A remedy is frequently found for ECLAMPSIA among: Bell.
caus. cham. ign. n-vom. and plat., if, however, the individual case
does not rather require: Cic. cin. magn. n-mosch. phos. or stram.
RECENT attacks of EPILEPSY frequently yield to: Bell. ign.
n-vom. op. &c., according to the circumstances, while CHRONIC
EPILEPSY requires principally sulph. followed by calc. caust.
cupr. and silic.; or else bell., followed by lach. hep. silic., &c. :
Agar. ars. camph. hyos. stann. and stram., have been also em-
ployed with more or less success. In Sect. 2, under the article
EPILEPTIC SPASMS, will be also found a selection of medicines
that may be used against this malady. (It is also an essential
point in the treatment of chronic epilepsy, to allow each medi-
cine to exhaust its salutary action, and to observe carefully the
symptoms which follow, so as to adapt the succeeding medi-
cine to them. This is a rule which cannot be too strongly
enforced, not only for all spasmodic and periodical affections, but
also for the majority of other chronic diseases.)
TETANUS mostly requires: Ang. bell. bry. camph. cham. ipec.
mosch. op. plat. sec. or stram., provided the circumstances do
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
37
not rather indicate: Acon. arn. cann. canth. cic. cin. grat. ign.
lach. n-vom. rhus. or stann.
For LOCAL AND INTERNAL SPASMS, See the other chapters.
CONVULSIONS IN CHILDREN require principally: Acon. caus.
cham. cin. coff. cupr. ign. ipec. lach, merc. n-vom. op. stann. and
sulph. ;-and if they appear in consequence of DENTITION, the
medicines are especially: Bell. calc. cham. cin. ign. stann. and
sulph. When caused by VERMICULOUS AFFECTIONS: Cic. cin.
hyos. merc. and sulph.
SPASMS OF HYSTERICAL WOMEN mostly require: Aur. bell.
cocc. ign. ipec. mosch. stram. veratr.; or else again: Bry. calc.
caus. cham. cocc. con. magn. magn-m. plat. sec. sep. stann. and
sulph.-Those which come on AT THE PERIOD OF THE CATA-
MENIA, especially: Coff. cocc. cupr. ign. and puls.--And those
IN LYING-IN WOMEN, especially: Bel. cham. cic. hyos. and
ign.
With reference to REMOTE CAUSES which have produced, or
which prolong spasmodic affections, if they are TRAUMATIC OR
MECHANICAL CAUSES, recourse may be had on the first instance
to: Arn. or ung., or else again to: Rhus. puls. and sulph.
When caused be FEAR, FRIGHT, or
FRIGHT, or any other SUDDEN
EMOTION, the medicines are principally: Cham. cupr. hyos.
n-vom. op. or plat.-In case of epilepsy caused by fright,
artemis. has also been employed with success.
Spasmodic affections caused by MASTURBATION or other
SHOCKS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, demand especially: Sulph.
caic. lach. silic. n-vom. and perhaps also: Arn. chin. phos-ac.
&c.
Those which result from the ABUSE OF NARCOTIC SUB-
STANCES, such as wine, opium, beer, (adulterated with stramo-
nium, cocculus indicus, &c.), tobacco, &c., often require: Bell.
cupr. cham. citr. coff. cupr. hyos. ign. n-vom. op. &c.
Those caused by REPERCUSSION OF AN ERUPTION are often
most successfully combated by: Calc. caus. ipec. lach. n-vom.
stram. and sulph.
Those which appear in consequence of a CHILL, or SUP-
PRESSED PERSPIRATION, are subdued by: Acon. bell. cham.
chin, cic. lach. n-vom. silic. &c.
Those which are caused by the VAPOUR OF MERCURY re-
quire in preference: Stram.; and those which are produced by
the VAPOUR OF COPPER AND ARSENIC: Ars. camph. cupr. and
merc.
For the SYMPTOMS which indicate the medicines, in parti-
cular cases, a preference may be given to :
BELLADONNA, against: Tetanus, Trismus, Hysterical spasms,

HERPES CIRCINATUS, or Ringworm.-Sep. is almost a spe-
cific against this sort of tetter; but Schroen recommends also:
Calc. caust. and sulph.
HERPES FURFURACEA.-The medicines which seem most
suitable to this kind of tetter, are: Cic. and sulph. and also:
Anac. graph. lach. merc. and thuy. or else again: Ars. calc.

CHAP. II. SKIN.
IMPETIGO.—The medicines, which have been hitherto found
most efficacious against the different impetigenous eruptions,
are principally: Lycop. and sulph. or else also: Calc. cic. dulc.
graph. lach. merc. rhus.
For Impetigo SCABIDA, they are especially : Lyc. and sulph.
For Impetigo SPARSA, they are principally: Cic. lach. and
sulph.
For Impetigo RODENS, they are: Ars. calc. cic. rhus. sep.
and sulph.
INJURIES (MECHANICAL).—The best medicines are in ge-
neral: Arn. and rhus. and also: Ang. con. cuphr. hep. puls.
ruta sulph. sulph-ac. &c.
For consequences resulting from a violent SHOCK caused by
a fall, a blow, &c., the principal medicine is: Arn. but if it
has been accompanied by excessive FRIGHT, it will be well to
administer previously a dose of opium; or if there is syncope, a
dose of acon. The head-ache, which may remain after the use
of arsenic, often yields to: Bell. phos-ac. or cicut.
The effects of a STRAIN IN THE LOINS, from having lifted too
heavy a weight, &c. require rather: Rhus. or else: Bry. calc.
carb-veg. and sulph. if rhus. is insufficient.
The effects of a shock, from making a FALSE STEP, require
principally bryon. or pulsat. and rhus. will be but seldom
suitable.
CONTUSIONS require principally: Arn. or puls. especially if
the muscles are chiefly affected. If the GLANDS are injured,
the medicines are especially: Con. and phos. or else also: Iod.
and kal. If the JOINTS, SYNOVIAL MEMBRANES, or Tendons,
have suffered from a contusion, rhus. is preferable; and if the
PERIOSTEUM is injured, the principal medicine is ruta.
For a BRUISE, when it is the result of contusion: Arn. and
rhus. are equally efficacious; and if these two medicines are
insufficient, recourse may be had to: Con. sulph. and sulph-ac.
or else again to: Con. sulph. and sulph-ac. or else again to:
Dulc. lach. and n-vom.
For DISLOCATION and SPRAINS, the principal medicine is
arn. or rhus. But if, after administering these two medicines,
there remains any pain: Am-c. and ruta. or else: Agn. bell.
bry. puls. n-vom. may be employed.
FRACTURES also require arn. to facilitate the union of the
bones; if ruta or symphitum officinale be not equally eligible.
BURNS yield most frequently, where arnica fails to an appli-
cation of common soap, or to a (30th) dose of sapo taken inter-
nally, or else to a dose of acon.
For WOUNDS the principal medicines are, according to the
circumstances: Arn. cic. staph, and sulph-ac. or also gran. ?
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
77
Contused WOUNDS inflicted by blunt or bruising instruments,
such as blows from a hatchet, sabre, sword, &c., require in pre-
ference arn.
Wounds from a BITE are cured most easily by sulph-ac. if
arnic. is insufficient.
INCISED WOUNDS inflicted by instruments, such as razors,
histouries, &c. require staph. in preference.
The principal medicines for wounds caused by SPLINTERS,
are: Acon. cic. or else: Nitr-ac. silic. or hep.
In all cases of wounds with excessive hæmorrhage, when
arn. is not sufficient to staunch them, diad. or phos. may be
administered, or else also chin. if the patient is very weak.
For wounds, which inflame and suppurate, the principal medi-
cines indicated are: Cham. hep. or silic. or else: merc. puls.
and sulph.
In case of GANGRENE in the wounded part, chin. princi-
pally merits a preference, especially at the commencement;
but if the skin has already begun to turn black, recourse
must be had to lach. or arsen. provided sil. is not equally
indicated.
The CONVULSIONS, which sometimes follow severe mecha-
nical injuries, such as TRAUMATIC TETANUS, &c., require ang.
or coccul. if arnic. is insufficient.
TRAUMATIC FEVER commonly yields to arn. or acon. and
it will be seldom necessary to have recourse to rhus. or bryon.
CEREBRAL affections, in consequence of a wound, with Con-
CUSSION OF THE BRAIN or of the SPINAL MARRow, require bell.
cic. cin. or else calc. or hep. if arnic. proves insufficient.
INTERTRIGO.-The best medicines are, in general: Ars. cham.
graph. ign. lyc. puls. sep. and sulph.
Excoriations in ADULTS, during summer, often yield to:
Arn. n-vom. lyc. and sulph.
The chafing of BED-RID PATIENTS, requires in preference:
Arn. (or plumb.?)
Erosion in the nipples requires especially: Arn. and sulph.
or else also: Calc. caus. cham. graph. lyc. n-vom. and sep.
The excoriations of CHILDREN require principally: Cham.
lycop. and sulph. or else again: Graph. or sep. In cases arising
from the ABUSE OF CHAMOMILE, ign. and puls. should be pre-
ferred.
JAUNDICE.-See Chap. XVI, ICTERUS.
LEPROSY.-The medicines which Hering recommends as most
efficacious against the various forms and degrees of leprosy, are
principally: Alum. ars. carb-a, carb-v. caus. graph. natr. petr.
phos. sep. sil. and sulph.
LICHEN.-In Lichen SIMPLEX, the medicines which appear most
78
CHAP. II. SKIN.
suitable to the concomitant gastric symptoms are, according to
Schroen: Acon. bryon. or puls. ; while cocc. and dulc. seem to
correspond better with the entire disease.
The medicines which appear preferable for LICHEN AGRIUS,
are: Cic. lyc. mur-ac. or sulph.
LUPUS, or NOLI ME TANGERE.-The medicines which seem
most suitable to tubercles of this kind, are: Alum. ars. calc.
cic. rhus. sep. and sulph.
MACULE.-See Srors.
MAGGOT-PIMPLES.-(GRUBS). (Tannes). See ACNE punc-
tuata.
MEASLES.-See MORBILLI and RUBEOLA.
MECHANICAL INJURIES.-See INJURIES (MECHANICAL.)
MILIARIA. The principal medicines are: Acon. ars. bell. bry.
cham. ipec. puls. and sulph.
If the eruption is accompanied by great ANGUISH, ars.
is especially eligible.
In LYING-IN WOMEN, the principal medicine is: Bryon. or
ipec. and in children: Acon. bell. bry. cham. or ipec. are pre-
ferable.
MILIARIA PURPUREA. (MILIARIA RUBRA).—The principal
medicines are: Acon. and coff. or else sulph. or bell. if neither
acon. nor coff. is sufficient. In cases in which this disease is
complicated with scarlatina, dulc. deserves a preference. (Com-
pare SCARLATINA).
MORBILLI.—By the term Morbilli, which is derived from the
Latin word MORBILLI, we designate the disease commonly
called MEASLES. The principal medicines are: Acon. and
puls. or else: Bell. bry. chin. phos. and sulph.
Acon. or puls. will be successfully employed to facilitate the
eruption, and to shorten the period of the precursors, and also
coff. if the patient is much agitated, or sleepless and irritable.
The PHOTOPHOBIA, which sometimes succeeds, often gives
way to bell. if acon. or puls. is insufficient.
The COUGH Sometimes requires also a dose of coff. or of hep.
after administering acon. but if there be bronchitis or pneu-
monia, it will be necessary occasionally to have recourse to
bryon.
In case of REPERCUSSION of the eruption, the medicines to
be employed are principally: Bry. puls. and phos. or else
again: Ars. bell. caus. and sulph.
Against CEREBRAL AFFECTIONS:
Bell. or stram. or else
again: Ars. hell. or puls. ought especially to be employed.
PULMONARY affections require in preference: Bry. phos. or
sulph.
PUTRID affections: Phos. puls. or sulph.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
79
The medicines which have been most frequently found
suitable for the sequela of this disease, are: Bry. curb-veg.
cham. chin. dros. dulc. hyos. ign. nux. rhus. sep. stram. and
sulph.
CATARRHAL AFFECTIONS, such
such as COUGH, HOARSENESS,
SORE-THROAT, &c., require especially according to the cir-
cumstances: Bry. carb-veg. cham. con. dros. dulc. hyos. ign.
nux-vom. sep. or n-vom. and if spasmodic, the medicines are :
Bell. chin. hyos. or carb-v. dros. &c. If the cough is dry and
hollow, they are principally: Cham. ign. or sulph.
MUCOUS DIARRHEA often requires: Chin. merc. puls. or
sulph.
OTITIS and OTorrhea should be treated by: Puls. or carb-
v. or else again: Colch. lyc. men. merc. nitr-ac. and sulph.
PAROTITIS commonly yields to arn. or rhus. and MILIARIA
ALBA sometimes requires nux-vom.
In all cases a preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, when there are: Vertigo, red and painful eyes, with
photophobia; coryza; sore-throat with hoarseness; short, dry,
and hollow cough; shootings in the side and chest; sleeplessness,
or little sleep with vivid dreams and frequent waking with a
start; universal dry heat, with red and hot, or puffed face;
bleeding of the nose; frequent desire to urinate; vomiting or
colic, also with diarrhea.
BELLADONNA, when there are: Excessive swelling of the
parotids, with salivation; sore-throat, with obstructed deglutition,
and shooting pains when swallowing; hoarseness and dry cough,
which fatigues the chest, with oppression and fits of choking;
dry heat, with violent head-ache in the forehead, delirium and
convulsive twitching of the limbs; violent thirst; great anguish
and inquietude, with nervous excitement and sleeplessness.
BRYONIA, if there are: Rheumatic pains in the limbs, with
dry cough and shooting pain in the chest when breathing or
coughing.
CHINA, if there is: Violent colic, with excessive thirst.
PHOSPHORUS, if there are: Typhoid symptoms, with loss of
consciousness; watery diarrhea: tongue loaded with a foul,
thick coating; black lips; great weakness; or else a dry cough,
with desire to vomit, or vomiting.
PULSATILLA, in almost all periods of the disease and in the
majority of cases, even the most severe, with putrid and
typhoid_symptoms; and especially if there are, at the same
time: Internal or external inflammation of the ear, with or
without otorrhea; dryness of the mouth, without thirst; short
and dry cough, with shootings in the chest, &c.
80
CHAP. II. SKIN.
STRAMONIUM, if there are: Delirium, with frightful visions
of rats, mice, &c.; desire to hide oneself; spasmodic affection of
the throat and difficult deglutition.
SULPHUR, especially if there is: Violent inflammation of the
eyes, with eruption slightly developed; or else: Violent otalgia,
with purulent otorrhæa, difficulty of hearing, tearing and throb-
bing in the head; pain in the limbs, and paralytic weakness;
or else again, if there are typhoïd symptoms, with loose cough
and expectoration of puriform mucus.

most efficacious in curing or checking the progress of panaris
(whitlow), are: Hep. lach. sil. and sulph.
Sect. 2.)
(For the rest, See
PAPULÆ.-See LICHEN and PRURIGO.
PEMPHIGUS.-The medicines which have been employed with
greatest success against both Chronic and acute Pemphigus, are:
Bell. dulc. rhus. and sep. (See also VESICULAR ERYSIPELAS, a
disease which has so close an analogy to PEMPHIGUS, that it is
not surprising that the same medicines should cure both these
diseases.
PETECHIÆ. Bryon. and rhus. or else ars. have been hitherto
found most efficacious.
PHLYCTÆNÆ.—See ECZEMA, TETTERS, SCABIES, MILIARIA
and VARICELLA.
PHTHIRIOSIS (MORBUS PEDICULARIS).—Ars. and chin. or per-
haps also merc. are the medicines that should be principally
employed against this frightful disease, characterized by the
production of PEDICULI either in the skin, or in a kind of
tumour, similar to a carbuncle.
PITYRIASIS.-See SPOTS (furfuraceous.)
POX (Small).-See VARIOLA.
PRURIGO. The best medicines are in general: Calc. hep. merc.
nitr-ac. sep. and sulph.
For prurigo on the SCROTUM, they are especially: Dulc.
rhod. nitr-ac. and sulph. or else again: Ambr. cocc. petr. and
thuy.
For that around the ANUS, they are principally: Merc. nitr-
ac. sep. sulph. and thuy.; or else again: Bar-c. kal. and zinc.
For that on the VULVA, they are: Calc. con. natr-m. sep. and
sulph.
See also, Sect. 2, ITCHING.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
81
PSORIASIS. The medicines which appear to answer best
against this scaly eruption are, in general: Bryon. calc. led.
lyc. sep. and sulph. and also: Caust. clem, graph. aud rhus.
For Psoriasis PALMARIS they are especially: Sulph. or mur-
ac. or also zinc.
For Psoriasis FACIALIS they are: Calc. and sulph., or else:
Graph. lyc. and sep.; and perhaps also: Bry. cic. led. merc.
oleand.
PURPURA.-The PURPURA HEMORRHAGIA, or SPOTTED DISEASE
OF WERHOLF, commonly requires bryon. or rhus. provided
the totality of the symptoms does not indicate also led. or
sec.
For PURPURA SENILIS, the principal medicines are: Ars.
and con.
PUSTULEÆ.-See ACNE, IMPETIGO, VACCINIA and VARIOLA.
RHAGADES.—The most eligible medicines are: Alum. calc.
hep. lyc. merc. petr. rhus. and sulph.
Rhagades on the hands of those who work in water, require
rather: Calc. and hep. or else also: Alum. merc. sass. and
sulph.
Rhagades which manifest themselves in winter, mostly yield
to: Petr. or sulph.
RUBEOLA.—The principal medicines against this disease are,
according to the circumstances: Acon. bell. nux-vom. and
puls.
RŪPIA.—The medicines, which appear best suited to this kind of
bullæ, are: Bor. kal. nitr-ac. and petr.
SCABS.-See TETTERS (CRUSTACEOUS).
SCABIES.—The principal medicines are, in general: Merc. and
sulph. and also: Carb-veg. caus. clem. hep. lach. lyc. rhus. sep.
and verat. and perhaps in some cases: Dulc. natr. phos-ac.
and squill. may be administered.
For the DRY or MILIARY itch, the treatment may commence
by administering merc. and sulph. alternately, giving every 4,
6, or 8 days, a dose of one or other of these medicines, until
an amelioration or change in the symptoms takes place.-In
case of amelioration, it is adviseable to wait, without doing
any thing further, as long as it continues; but if it ceases,
or if a change occurs in the nature of the symptoms, another
medicine must be substituted; and carb-veg. or hep. will be
generally found most suitable, if the disease has retained the
miliary form; or caustic. if pustules have made their appearance.
And the remaining symptoms which continue after carb-veg. or
hep. often yield to sep. or verat.
For HUMID or PUSTULAR Scabies, sulph. and lyc. may be
E 3
82
CHAP. II. SKIN.
given alternately in the first instance, and in the manner re-
commended above. In the event of subsequent amelioration,
especially when the scabies assumes a dryer character, carb-
veg. or merc. will be found most frequently indicated. But if
neither sulph. or lyc. produce any change in the space of 15 or
20 days, or if the pustules become very large, it will be proper
to have recourse to caust. of which 2, 3, or 4 doses may be
given according to the circumstances, by administering the
second 12 hours after the first, the third 24 hours after the
second, the fourth 48 hours after the third, and so on. If, at
the end of three days after the fourth dose, no change appears,
some doses of merc. may be then administered, at intervals of
48 hours.
If, in this kind of Scabies, there are small ulcers, clem. and
rhus. will claim a preference; and if the pustules degenerate
into large vesicles, of a yellowish or bluish colour, recourse
must be had to lach.
Scabies, the nature of which has been altered by abuse of
sulphur, mostly requires: Merc. or caust. or else also: Calc.
dulc. nitr-ac. or puls.
(See also ERUPTIONS, SCABIOUs, Sect. 2).
SCALDHEAD.-See Chap. VI.
SCARLATINA.-The principal medicine is bell. provided cir-
cumstances do not require others also, such as: Am-c. bar-c.
lach. merc. phos. sulph. &c.
For the FEVER, in the precursory period, acon. is to be pre-
ferred, if bell. is insufficient.
For the ANGINA, bar-c. and merc. rank after bell.
Against ANGINA GANGRENOSA the principal medicines are :
Am-c. ars. and carb-veg. or perhaps also lach. or sulph.
VOMITINGS often require acon. or ars. if they will not yield
to bell.; For TENESMUS and STRANGURY, con. merits a pre-
ference, and for PULMONARY SPASMS, ipec. after bell.
Sleeplessness often requires acon. or coff.
In case of REPERCUSSION of the eruption, the medicines
which are usually most apt to reproduce it, are: Bry. phos.
phos-ac. and sulph. But if cerebral symptoms appear with
COMA SOMNOLENTUM, op. is preferable; or bell. if there are
starts on closing the eyes.
For the PAROTITIS, which sometimes comes on in conse-
quence of scarlatina, the principal medicines are: Bell. carb-
veg. phos. rhus. and sil. or else merc.
For DROPSICAL AFFECTIONS resulting from scarlatina, the
medicines are, in general: Arn. ars. bell. dig. hell. phos-ac.
or sen.-For HYDROCEPHALE: Arn. bell. hell. and phos-ac.-
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
83
For HYDROTHORAX: Ars. hell. sen. or else: Arn. or dig
For ASCITES: Dig. or hell.-And for ANASARCA: Ars. or hell.
or bar-m.
For OTITIS or ОTORRHEA, in consequence of scarlatina, the
medicines are principally: Bell. hep. or puls. or: Colch. lyc.
men. merc. nitr-ac. or else, if there is CARIES of the ossicula
auditoria : Aur. calc. natr-m. or sil.
For SCARLATINA MILIARIA, or MILIARIA PURPUREA, they are:
Acon. and coff., or else bell. and sulph, if neither aconit. nor
coff. are sufficient. In case of complication of the miliaria
purpurea with scarlatina, dulc. is often found very efficacious.
In all cases, the preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, if there are: Frequent colic, with bilious vomit-
ing; violent fever, with dry heat, frequent, full and weak
pulse; congestion in the head, with puffed face, vertigo and
dizziness; or delirium; or lethargy, with waking with a start;
dry, short, painful cough; bleeding at the nose, or also hœ-
moptysis; inflammation of the throat.
BELLADONNA, if there are: Violent inflammation in the throat
and amygdala, with shooting pains, or spasmodic contrac-
tion; inability to swallow the least liquid, which sometimes es-
capes through the nostrils; danger of suffocation, on feeling the
throat or turning the head; violent thirst, with or without hy-
drophobia; inflamed and painful eyes, with photophobia ;
violent pressure on the forehead, as if the eyes were about to
be forced out of the sockets, or tearing and shootings in the
head; vertigo, with clouded sight; red and dry tongue; sleep-
lessness, with nervous excitement, frightful visions on closing the
eyes, starts and jerks.
MERCURIUS, if there are: Inflammation and excessive swell-
ing of the amygdala, with salivation, ulcers in the mouth, en-
largement of the inguinal glands, &c.
PHOSPHORUS, if there are: Dry and hard tongue and lips,
covered with blackish coating; loss of speech and hearing;
dysphagia; incontinence of urine; excessive falling off of the
hair.
RHUS, if the exanthema degenerates into a kind of vesicular
erysipelas, with lethargy, starts, agitation, strangury and vio-
lent thirst.
SULPHUR, if there is cerebral affection, which will not yield
to bell.; with lethargic sleep, starts, convulsions of the eyes;
or continued delirium; puffed and bright-red face; obstructed
nose; dry, cracked, red tongue, covered with brownish mucus ;
thirst and dysphagia.

genesy, and consult, in their respective chapters, the different
LOCAL AFFECTIONS, which may accompany scarlatina.
SCIRRHUS.-See CARCINOMA.
SUN SPOTS.-" FRECKLES," (Lentigines, Ephelides), require
in preference: Verat. or else again: Bry. lyc. natr-m. and
puls.
HEPATIC SPOTS (Macula hepatice, Ephilis major, Ephilis
hepatica), require especially: N-vom. phos. sep. and sulph. or
else also: Ant. con. hyos. lach. lyc. merc. and natr.
Furfuraceous spors (Pityriasis), require in preference: Ars.
alum. bry. lyc. phos. and sep. and those which occupy the
HEAD or the margin of the hairy scalp: Ars. and alum, or
perhaps also: Calc. graph. oleand. and staph.
Spots in PREGNANT WOMEN yield chiefly to sep.
For MOTHER SPOTS (Navi), the principal medicines are:
Carb-veg. and sulph.
STEATOMA.-See TUMOUR (ENCYSTED).
STINGS OF INSECTS.-The medicines, which, according to
circumstances, commonly afford the most speedy relief, are:
Acon, arn. bell. or merc.
In case of being stung in very tender parts, and when in-
flammation with fever follows, camph. may be immediately
administered by smelling, and acon. if camphor is insufficient.
In case of being stung by bees on the TONGUE, acon. should be
first administered, and, if necessary, arn. half an hour afterwards.
If arn. do not relieve, bell. should be administered at the end of
2 or 3 hours, a small spoonful every half-hour, (2 or 3
globules of the 30th attenuation in solution). If bell. prove
insufficient, merc. may be administered every 2 or 3 hours.
In case of being stung on the EYE, acon. and arn. should be
administered alternately, allowing each dose of acon. to act for
one hour, each dose of arn. for 3 or 4 hours.
STROPHULUS. The medicines principally recommended
against this kind of Lichen, are: Cic. cham. and caust.
SUPPURATIONS.-The medicines which merit a preference,
in cases of chronic suppuration, are commonly: Hep. lach. merc.
silic. or sulph.
Suppurations of a bad kind require especially: Asa, merc.
and silic.
SYCOSIS. The medicines which have been hitherto found most
efficacious against condylomata or other sycosic excrescences,
are: Thuy. and nitr-ac. or else, cinnab. euphr. lycop. phos-ac.
sabin. and staph. A very speedy cure is also often accom-
plished by administering merc. (3rd) and sulph. (3rd) alter-
nately.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
85
SYPHILIS.—The principal medicine is merc. (viv. or solub.)
But in the case of PRIMARY CHANCRES, a cure is seldom ac-
complished by the last dilutions, which often only aggravate
the sufferings by irritating the nervous system of the patient.
The most certain method of curing recent Chancre, in the
acute state, is to administer every day, or, at least, every
second day, a dose of of a grain of the 3rd trituration of
mercury, until a perceptible amelioration takes place, without
being influenced by the appearance of the ulcers during the
first days. NO RECENT CHANCRE IS HEALED WITHOUT BEING
PREVIOUSLY AGGRAVATED. But by continuing the use mercury,
it will be seen at the end of 8 or 10 days, (an experienced eye
will often detect it as early as the fourth or sixth day), that
there will appear, on the bottom of the ulcers, healthy granu-
lations, which will increase daily, while at the same time, the
ulcers will occasionally bleed and the margins begin to be
depressed.
When, under the administration of mercury, the chancre is
slow in cicatrizing, or when the ulcer exhibits a strong ten-
dency to produce vegetations, nitr-ac. will be administered with
success, in a dose of one drop (3rd), morning and evening.
or else in a dose of 3 or 6 globules dissolved in water, one
spoonful morning and evening. But care must be taken to ad-
minister it before the loss of substance has been repaired by
mercury.
Nitr-ac. is also to be selected in preference, against syphi-
litic ulcers which have been for a long time fruitlessly treated,
by administering the large doses of mercury, usual in the old
school of medicine.
If the chancre has passed from the acute to the CHRONIC
state, though it is still primary, it will be sufficient in the ma-
jority of cases, to administer 3 doses of the 3rd trituration of
merc., one dose every 48 hours, allowing the medicine to act
after the third dose without doing anything further. It will
be rarely necessary to repeat merc. at the end of 3 or 4
weeks.
It commonly happens in cases, in which the primary chancre
has passed into the chronic state, that, while the ulcer loses
its syphilitic character, macula veneræ, or venereal spots, make
their appearance, with pimples on the forehead and chin, and
round the mouth. These secondary symptoms are generally
removed by mercury, with the remains of the primary ulcer;
and if, after this has been healed, some traces still continue,
which will not yield to this medicine, (2 or 3 doses of) lach.
will often complete a cure.
SECONDARY CHANCRES IN THE THROAT, which seldom ap-
86
CHAP. II. SKIN.
pear, except in consequence of mercurial applications to the
primary chancre, require the same treatment as the CHRONIC
chancre (2 or 3 doses of merc. of the 3rd trit.), or else some
doses of thuy. if the patient suffers from an abuse of merc.
BUBOES, which generally result from cauterization of the
primary chancre, and which in many cases appear previously to
its being cicatrized, require no particular treatment, and mostly
disappear with the primary ulcer, under the influence of merc.
But if they have protruded after the cicatrization of the chancre,
and especially if the patient has been subjected to an abuse of
mercury, nitr-ac. is then the principal medicine; though aur.
or carb-v. will be found exceedingly useful.
CONSTITUTIONAL syphilis, which is rarely quite unmixed,
also requires merc. provided the patient has not indulged in an
abuse of merc. If he have, the most eligible medicines will
be: Lach. thuy. nitr-ac. aur. and sulph. or else again: Alum.
bell. carb-veg. clem. dulc. guaj. hep. iod. lyc. phos-ac, sass. and
staph.
ACHING syphilitic pains require in preference: Merc. lach.
and aur.
The SPOTS and TETTERS: Merc. lach. nitr-ac.
and thuy. OPHTHALMIA: Merc. or nitr-ac.
TETTERS.-See HERPES, and also: ACNE, ECTHYMA, ECZEMA,

TUMOURS.-For INFLAMMATORY tumours, or PHLEGMON, the
principal medicines are: Ars. bell. bry. cham. hep. puls, phos.
and sulph., which are sometimes sufficient to prevent suppu-
ration and to produce the dissolution of the tumours.-Arsen. is
especially suitable if there are: Burning pains in the tumour;
Bryon. if the tumour is hot and tight, pale or red; Bell. if the
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
87
redness of the tumour extends far over the surrounding parts;
Hep. or rhus. if the tumour is painful to the touch; Puls. if
it has a red areola, &c.
For CALLOUS tumours, they are principally: Bar-c. carb-an.
and veg. con. iod. and kal. or else also: Bry. chum. and sulph.
which often produce dissolution without suppuration.
In cases in which the formation of pus has already com-
menced, and dissolution is impracticable, the medicines which
will best expedite the opening of the abscess, are: Lach. and
hep.
For OPEN ABSCESS, when the suppuration has gone on for a
long time, the medicines, which will, in the majority of cases,
effect the most rapid cure, are: Calc. hep. merc. phos. and
sil.-Phos. and sil. are most suitable, when a consumptive
state succeeds, in consequence of chronic suppuration. (See
also SUPPURATION and ULCERS).
ABSCESS, arising FROM CONGESTION, requires commonly
only the same medicines employed against SUPPURATION and
ABSCESS in general; but in particular cases, attention must be
paid to the real seat of the disease and a medicine selected
according to the position of the injury.
For LYMPHATIC TUMOUR AND ABSCESS, the principal medi-
cines are: Asa. bell. calc. carb-veg. cocc. dulc. hep. lach. merc.
phos. sep. sil. and phos.—If the tumours are INFLAMMATORY,
they are: Bell. carb-veg. hep. lach. sep. sil. and phos.-For
INDOLENT tumours, they are: Asa. calc. bell. cocc. dulc. merc.
and sulph. (See also GLANDS).
ENCYSTED TUMOURS require principally: Calc. graph. hep.
and sil. or else again: Bar-c. caus. nitr-ac. and sulph.
For STEATOMOUS TUMOURS, or STEATOMA, bar-c. is to be
preferred.
Tumours, which are formed in the tendons, and which are
commonly called GANGLIA, require chiefly: Arn. or rhus. or
perhaps also: Am-c. phos. phos-ac. plumb. ? sil. and zinc.
ULCERS.—The best medicines are, in general: Ars. asa. bell.
calc. carb-veg. con. cupr. graph. lyc. merc. phos-ac. rhus. sil.
and sulph.
Carcinomatous ulcers require principally: Ars. con. lach.
merc. sil. and sulph. or perhaps also: Aur. hep. and staph.
For FISTULOUS ulcers, the medicines are principally: Ant.
calc. lyc. phos. sil. and sulph.
GANGRENED ulcers require in preference· Ars. bell. chin.
lach. and sil. or perhaps also: Con. rhus. sec. and squill.
MERCURIAL ulcers require especially: Aur. bell. carb-veg.
hep, lach, nitr-ac. sass. sil. sulph. and thuy.
For PHAGADENIC ulcers, the principal medicines are: Ars.
88
CHAP. II. SKIN.
hep. mez. sil. and sulph. or else again: Con. nitr-ac. and
ran.
For PUTRID ulcers and those in CACHETIC, SCORBUTIC per-
sons, &c., they are especially: Ars. carb-v. hep. mur-ac. puls.
sil. sulph. and perhaps also: Am-c. and am-m.
SCROFULOUS ulcers yield most frequently to: Ars. bell. calc.
carb-veg. lyc. mur-ac. sil. and sulph.
SYPHILITIC ulcers require chiefly: Merc. or else again:
Iod.(?) nitr-ac. lach. and thuy.
URTICARIA (Nettle-rash, Essera).-The principal medicines
are: Calc. dulc. and lyc. or else again: Acon. ars. bry. clem.
hep. nux-vom. rhus. and urtic.
For ACUTE urticaria, they are especially; Acon. bry. dulc.
and rhus. or urt. and for CHRONIC urticaria: Calc. and lyc.
and perhaps also: Ars. rhus. and urt. (For the rest, See
Sect. 2).
VARICES.—The principal medicines are: Arn. ars. calc. carb-v.
caus. lyc. n-vom. puls. and sulph.
VARICELLA, (Chicken-pox).-Though this eruption commonly
passes off without danger, the fever and cerebral congestion
which accompany its precursors may require medicine. In this
case, acon. and bell. will be found most frequently indicated,
provided the totality of symptoms do not rather require other
medicines, such as: Ant. puls. sil. sol-m. tart. and thuy.
For the tenesmus or strangury, which sometimes appears, the
medicines are: Canth. con. and merc.
An eruption similar to varicella, produced by an abuse of
bacon, was cured, in one case, by puls.
VARIOLA, or SMALL-POX.-The principal medicines are: Ars.
merc. and rhus.
In the period which precedes the eruption, the best medi-
cines to allay the fever and bring out the eruption rapidly, are:
Coff. bryon. and rhus.
In case of CEREBRAL METASTASIS, bell. must be employed;
and if there are GASTRIC sufferings, with vomiting, the medi-
cines are: Ars. and ipec.
After the eruption has appeared, the most suitable medicines,
in the majority of cases, for promoting a rapid desiccation, are:
Sulph. or merc.; but if the eruption is too great, a dose of bell.
will sometimes be adviseable; and if the FEVER, during the
suppuration, is too violent, acon. or bell. will be necessary; or
else cham. if there is a cough during this period. If the pus
becomes SANIOUS, and if SPHACELUS is apprehended: Ars. and
carb-v. ought to be employed in preference.
The best medicine against the SALIVATION, which some-
times succeeds is merc. against the CATARRH, with cough
SECT. 2. SYMPTOMS.
89
and hoarseness, the principal medicines are: Ars. or merc. and
against the diarrhea, chin. is most eligible.
VAŘIOLOIDES.-The principal medicines are
Bell. and merc.
or else: Ars. and rhus.
Before the eruption, when there is much FEVER, with HEAD-
ACHE, the medicines which deserve a preference are: Acon. or
bell. and when there is PAIN IN THE LOINS, bryon. should
be selected.
In the ERUPTIVE PERIOD, sulph. will bring forward the
desiccation most speedily.
For PULMONARY CATARRH, caused by this disease, the prin-
cipal medicines are: Merc. or bell. or else, if there are ASTH-
MATIC AFFECTIONS, with mucous rattling, they are: Seneg. and
tart.
Affections of the bones require principally: Sil. or phos-ac.
those of the joints: Bell. bry. and merc.
VESICULE.-See PHLYCTÆNÆ.
WARTS.-The medicines which have been hitherto employed
with most success against warts, are: Calc. caus. dulc. natr.
nitr-ac. rhus. sep. thuy. and sulph.
For warts on the hands of ONANISTS, they are especially :
Nitr-ac. sep. thuy. and sulph.
WHITLOW.-See PANARIS.

CHAPTER III.
SLEEP AND AFFECTIONS RELATING TO IT,
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS,
COMA.-See SOMNOLENCY.
LETHARGY.-See SOMNOLENCY.
NIGHT-MARE (Incubus). A preference may be given to :
ACONIT, in women or children, if there are at the same
time: Febrile heat, thirst, palpitation of the heart, rapid pulse,
oppression on the chest, anxiety and inquietude.
NUX-VOM. if the attacks have been occasioned by alcoholic
drinks, beer, a full meal, a sedentary life, &c.
OPIUM, when the attacks are severe, with suspended respi-
ration, eyes half-open, open mouth, snoring, rattling, features
expressive of anguish, face covered with cold perspiration,
shocks and convulsive movements of the limbs, &c.
In cases, in which these medicines are insufficient, recourse
may be also had, according to the circumstances, to: Sulph.
silic. or else to: Am-c. hep. phos. puls. ruta. and valer. See
besides, this articles in the AFFECTIONS ACCESSORY TO SLEEP,
Sect. 3.
SLEEPLESSNESS.-Sleeplessness is, in all cases, only a symp-
tom of another disease, which must be removed, in order to
restore healthy sleep. But it is often also the most prominent
symptom, and then it is necessary to select a medicine suited to
the circumstances, which have produced it. A preference may
thus be given to :
ACONITUM, when sleeplessness is caused by anxious and agi-
tating events.
Belladonna, when the patient feels a strong desire to sleep,
without being able to do so, or when there are: Great anguish,
agitation, frightful visions, timidity, apprehension of real objects,
&c.; or else if there is, at the same time, great sleepiness in
the morning, or too early in the evening.
COFFEA, if sleeplessness is caused by excessive joy or agree-
able over-excitement, or else in children, or in consequence of
prolonged watching, and also in persons who have indulged
in an abuse of coffee.
HYOSCYAMUS, against sleeplessness, resulting from nervous
excitement, especially in consequence of violent disease, or in
sensitive and irritable persons.
Mao!!
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
101
IGNATIA, if it has been produced by depressing emotions,
such as grief, unpleasant ideas, &c.
MOSCHUS, in many cases of sleeplessness, arising from ner-
vous excitement, without other sufferings, especially in hys-
terical or hypochondriacal persons.
NUX-VOM. when it is the result of prolonged meditation,
reading, &c., or when it is produced by coffee, or when sleep is
hindered in the evening by a great flow of ideas.
OPIUM, after such emotions as fear, fright, &c.; or when
there are: Visions of phantoms, grimaces, &c., or in the case
of old men.
PULSATILLA, in persons, who have eaten too much in the
evening, or if there are: Great flow of ideas, which prevents
the patient's sleeping; or else with rapid circulation, congestion
in the head and anxiety attended with heat.
For sleeplessness in CHILDREN, with cries, colic, tossing, &c.,
the medicines are, according to the circumstances: Acon. bell.
cham. coff. jalap. and rhab. or else again: Bor. cin. ipec. and
senn.
ACONITUM and coff. are especially indicated, when there is
great agitation, with febrile heat.
BELLADONNA is preferable, if the child cries during whole
days and hours, without any assignable cause.
CHAMOMILLA, is to be preferred, if there is at the same time
head-ache, or ear-ache.
JALAPPA, is suitable principally when there is violent colics,
diarrhea.
Rhabarbarum (Rheum), is indicated, if there is a frequent
desire to evacuate with tenesmus and colic.
See also SLEEPLESSNESS, Sect. 2. and accessory AFFEC-
TIONS, Sect. 3.
SOMNAMBULISM, or NOCTAMBULISM. The medicines
which merit an especial preference, are: Bry. phos. and sil.
SOMNOLENCY.-Under this head, we have collected the cli-
nical remarks, relating to the various degrees of unhealthy sleep,
such as: Coma somnolentum, Coma vigil, Cataphora, Lethargy,
Somnolency, &c.
For slight somnolency, or a DESIRE TO SLEEP, which often
manifests itself without any other symptom, but at extraor-
dinary hours, the medicines, which merit a preference, are:
Bell. calc. carb-v. chin. con. graph. hep. kal. lach. merc. natr.
natr-m. n-vom. phos. and sulph.
For somnolency, which manifests itself in the MORNING, the
principal medicines are: Hep. natr. natr-m. n-vom. phos-ac. and
sulph.
102
CHAP. III. SLEEP.
For that which comes on after a MEAL, they are especially:
Chin. graph. lach. n-vom. phos. and sulph.
For that which comes on early in the EVENING, they are:
Calc. kal. lach. n-vom. phos-ac. puls. sil. and sulph.
See also, Section 2, Propensity to SLEEP.
For LETHARGIC SOMNOLENCY or COMA, the medicines which
have hitherto been employed with most success, are in general:
Bar-c. bell. cham. lach. n-vom. op. and puls.
COMA SOMNOLENTUM requires especially: Bar-c. bell. lach.
n-vom. op. and puls. or else again: Ant. croc. laur. led. phos-ac.
puls. tart. verat. and mgs-arc.
For COMA VIGIL, the following may be consulted in pre-
ference: Ars. bell. cham. cocc. hep. lach. hyos. n-vom. op. &c.
For PROLONGED COMA or LETHARGY, the medicines are espe-
cially: Bell. lach. op. and perhaps also: Plumb, or else merc.
With respect to the SYMPTOMS, which characterize the dif-
ferent cases of coma, the preference may be given to :
BARYTA, if there are: Lethargic somnolency, with agitation,
groans and murmurs, insensible pupils, weak and accelerated
pulse.
BELLADONNA, when there are: Deep or prolonged sleep, with

CATARRHAL AND RHEUMATIC (FEVERS).—We have pre-
ferred discussing together in this article these two kinds of
fever, both of which frequently proceed from the same cause,
(Chills, suppressed perspiration, &c.), and which possess so
many points of resemblance, that they are often complicated
with one another.
The most efficacious medicines against both species of fever
are in general: Acon. ars. bell. bry. caus. cham. chin. dulc.
merc. n-vom. puls. rhus. and sulph. ; and also: Arn. camph. coff.
ign. ipec. phos. sabad. sang. sil. spig. squill. stann. and verat.
If the fever is intense, partaking of the INFLAMMATORY
character, the medicines which ought to be employed in pre-
ference are: Acon. bell. bry. cham., or else again: Ars. coff. ign.
merc. puls. rhus. squill.
But if the fever is only SLIGHT, or if it abates under the
influence of the preceding medicines, those which will be found
to be most frequently indicated are, according to the circum-
stances: Chin. dulc. n-vom. puls. rhus., or else also: Arn. ipec.
phos. seneg. and verat.
In cases of PROFUSE PERSPIRATION, which however affords no
relief, the most eligible are: Bry. chin. merc. and sulph.
If VIOLENT PAIN predominates, a remedy will be most fre-
quently found among: Acon. ars. cham. coff. ign. or else again
among: Merc. puls. and sulph.
If, after the fever has ceased, certain symptoms still remain,
it will be proper, in case of CATARRHAL affections, to select in
116
CHAP. IV. FEVERS.
:
preference Sulph. or phos. seneg. and stann. or else again:
Ars. bry. dulc. merc. puls. sil. and squill.
When the RHEUMATIC affections continue, they require espe-
cially Caust. chin. phos. sil. and sulph. or else hep. and
lach.
:
See also: CHRONIC CATARRH and RHEUMATISM.
For the details relative to the choice of the medicines cited,
See the articles: CATARRH and RHEUMATISM, and compare in
their respective chapters: ANGINA, CEPHALALGIA, OPTHALMIA,
COUGH, ODONTALGIA, &c. (CATARRHAL and RHEUMATIC.)
For the various complications that these fevers may un-
dergo, See also: INFLAMMATORY, GASTRIC, Cerebral fevers,
&c., and also: PLEURISY, GRIPPE, PNEUMONIA, &c.
CEREBRAL (FEVERS).—See TYPHOID FEVERS.
COMATOSE (FEVERS).—See LETHARGIC FEVERS.
DENTITION (FEVER DURING). See Chap. XX.
GASTRIC AND BILIOUS (FEVERS).The best medicines are
in general: Acon. bell. bry. cham. cocc. ipec. merc. n-vom. puls.
and also: Ant. coloc. dig. rhus. squill. tart. and verat. or else
again : Daph. gran. (?) and sulph.
As to the different SHADES of these fevers, if the SIMPLE
GASTRIC, (FEBRIS SABURRALIS) predominates, the medicines
which principally deserve a preference are: Ipec. n-vom. puls.
or else again: Ant. bry. cham. cocc. digit. rhus. sulph. tart.
and verat. or else: Bell. daph. and squill.
If BILIOUS Symptoms (BILIOUS FEVER) predominates, the
principal medicines are: Acon. bry. cham. chin. cocc. n-vom.
puls. or else again: Ars. coloc. daph. dig. gran.(?) ipec. and
sulph.
Gastric fevers, with a predominance of Mucous secretions
and excretions (MUCOUS FEVER) require rather: Bell. chin.
dig. merc. puls. and rhus., or else again: Ars. cham. cin. dulc.
ipec. n-vom. rhab. spig. and sulph.
If gastric fever is characterized by VERMICULOUS affections
(VERMICULOUS FEVER), they are principally: Cic. cin. merc.
sil. spig. and sulph. or else again: Acon. dig. hyos. n-vom.
sabad. stann. stram. teuc, and valer.
As to the character which these fevers may assume, if there
are very decided INFLAMMATORY symptoms (INFLAMMATORY
GASTRIC FEVER), the principal medicines are: Bell. bry. cham.
merc. puls. or tart.--Acon. is indicated only in cases in which
there are bilious symptoms, but never against a purely gastric
state, however decided the inflammatory character may be.
If the fever exhibits a NERVOUS character (NERVOUS GASTRIC,
or ataxic fever), the medicines are especially: Bell. bry, cocc.
rhus. and verat. or else again: Ars. carb-veg. chin, hyos. &c.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
117
Gastric fever, with symptoms of PUTRIDITY (PUTRID GASTRIC
FEVER), requires rather: Ars. carb-veg. chin. merc. mur-ac.
phos-ac. rhus. sulph. and sulph-ac.
See also INFLAMMATORY fevers and TYPHOID fevers.
With reference to the EXTERNAL CAUSES which may have
occasioned one or other of these kinds of fever; those which
appear in consequence of INDIGESTION, require in preference:
Ipec. or puls. or else again: Ant. bry. n-vom. tart. and sulph.
Those which are the result of a CHILL, require principally:
Acon. bell. bry. cham. ipec. merc. n-vom. puls. and sulph. Against
gastric fevers caused by a chill in the stomach from COLD
WATER, ICES, or Acios, the medicines which merit an especial
preference are: Ars. and puls. or else again: Natr-m. sulph.
sulph-ac. and also lach.
Bilious fevers brought on by a CONTRADICTION or the IN-
DULGENCE OF ANGER, require principally: Cham. or coloc. or
else: Acon. bry. chin. n-vom. or staph. In cases in which the
patient has already taken an injurious quantity of chamomile,
or has eaten after being in a passion, puls. merits a prefe-
rence.
Lastly, with respect to the Symptoms which characterize
individual cases of these fevers, a preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, especially at the commencement of the disease, and
when there is: A predominance of bilious symptoms, namely:
Tongue loaded with a yellowish coating, bitter taste of the mouth,
and of all food, and all drink, except water; bitter, greenish, or

staph. and verat.
Hectic fevers with local affections and organic injuries, such
as chronic inflammations, suppurations, &c. (HECTIC FEVERS,

NOSTALGIA, &c., require in preference: Phos-ac. and staph.
or perhaps also: Ign. lach. merc. and ars. or graph. (Compare
MORAL EMOTIONS).
For those which result from DEBILITATING LOSSES (Loss of
blood, excessive coition, onanism, &c.) the best medicines
are: Chin. n-vom. phos-ac. and sulph., or else again: Calc. cin.
lach. staph. (Compare Chap. 1, DEBILITY).
Those which are brought on by VIOLENT DISEASES, espe-
cially nervous complaints, typhoid fevers, cholera, &c., require

For the rest of the medicines cited, and also for
more ample details, See the SYMPTOMS which follow (Sect. 2.
and 3), as well as their pathogenesy in the former part of this
work.
LETHARGIC (FEVERS).—The medicines which will be found to
be most frequently indicated against this kind of intermittent
fever, are especially: Bell. cham. op. and puls. and perhaps
also: Ant. carb-v. lach. merc. rhus. and tart. (See also Chap. III.
SOMNOLENCY.)
MUCOUS (FEVERS).-See GASTRIC Fevers.
NERVOUS (FEVERS).—See TYPHOID Fevers.
PITUITOUS (FEVERS). See GASTRIC Fevers.
PUERPERAL (FEVERS).—See DISEASES OF WOMEN. Chap. XX.
PUTRID (FEVERS).—See TYPHOID Fevers.
RHEUMATIC (FEVERS).-See CATARRHAL AND RHEUMATIC
Fevers.
SLOW (FEVERS).-See HECTIC Fever.
TRAUMATIC (FEVERS).—See Chap. II. MECHANICAL INJURIES.
TYPHOID (AND NERVOUS FEVERS).—As all the fevers, com-
prised under the names of ADYNAMIC, ATAXIC, CEREBRAL,
NERVOUS, TYPHOID, PUTRID, &c. possess much mutual ana-
logy, it has been deemed adviseable to collect the whole under
one name, and thus to indicate the symptoms, which should
decide the choice of a salutary medicine.
The medicines which have been hitherto employed with
132

most success, are in general: Bell. bry. hyos. lach. merc. n-vom.
phos-ac. rhus stram. sulph. But in some cases also: Acon. arn.
ars. camph. carb-v. cham. chin. cocc. lyc. murc-ac. natr-m. nitr-
spir. n-mos. op. puls. and sulph. or else again: Daph. gran. (?)
phos. and sulph-ac.
For nervous fevers, CHARACTERIZED BY ERETHISMUS (Ver-
satile nervous fevers), the most eligible medicines are: Acon.
bell. bry. cham. hyos. lyc. mur-ac. natr-m. n-vom. rhus. stram.
For fevers characterized by DULLNESS (Typhoid fevers pro-
perly so called), the principal medicines are: Arn. ars. bell.
bry. chin, coce. hyos. lach. nitr-sp. n-vom. op. rhus. stram.
verat.
Typhoid fevers, with predominance of CEREBRAL Affection,
(Typhus cerebralis, febris cerebralis) require in preference:
Acon. bell. bry. hyos. lach. lyc. n-vom. op. phos-ac. rhus. and
stram.
For those with predominance of PULMONARY affections
(Typhus pulmonaris, or Typhoid pneumonia), the principal me-
dicines are: Bry. and rhus. or again: Ars. bell. chin. hyos. and
sulph.
Those with predominance of ABDOMINAL affections (Typhus
abdominalis, Putrid fever), require in preference : Rhus. or bry.,
or ars. chin. and merc. or else again: Arn. carb-v. n-mos. puls.
and sulph.
With respect to the various PERIODS in which typhoid fever
may present itself, if the patient is prescribed for during the
period of INCUBATION, the disease will mostly be prevented, or
at least mitigated by: bry. or rhus.
The INFLAMMATORY period then requires principally: Bry.
or else: Acon. bell. cham. hyos. lyc. n-vom. and stram.
In the period of DEBILITY, the most eligible medicines are:
Rhus. or ars. carb-veg. chin. merc. and mur-ac. or else again :
Arn. lach. n-mos. phos-ac. and sulph. In the last extremity,
when life is almost extinct, carb-veg. will often succeed in
recalling the vital force and restoring the patient to a more
vigorous state.
During the period of CONVALESCENCE, when there still re-
mains great physical and nervous debility, the medicines, which
will be found to be most frequently indicated, are: Cocc. chin.
and verat. or else n-vom. and sulph.
With regard to the SYMPTOMS, which are to be considered
in individual cases, a preference should be given to :

YELLOW FEVER.-We possess, as yet, no valuable in-
formation respecting the treatment of these fevers, except one
case, which was cured by crotalus. The physician, who

have been hitherto employed with most success, are, in general :
Acon. bell. calc. hyos, lach, lyc, n-vom. op. plat. puls. sil. stram.

If the alienation is caused by DEPRESSING EMOTIONS, such
as vexation, mortification, anger, &c., the medicines which
principally merit attention are: Bell. hyos. n-vom, and plat, or
else again: Ign. phos-ac. staph. &c. (Compare Chap. I, MORAL
EMOTIONS.)
If it is the result of EXCESSIVE STUDY, the medicines are espe-
cially: Lach. plat. stram. and perhaps again: Nux-vom. op.
and sulph. or also: Bell. hyos. and verat. (Compare Chap. I,
FATIGUE FROM intellectual EXERTION.)
That depression, which arises from RELIGIOUS NOTIONS, re-
quires principally: Lach. sulph. verat. or else again: Ars. aur.

For the mental alienation of DRUNKARDS (Delirium tremens),
nux-vom. or op. will be found suitable, or else: Bell. calc. hyos.
lach. and stram. provided the state of the patient is not such
as rather indicates: merc. puls. or sulph. (Compare Chap. I,
DRUNKENNESS).
For mental alienation in FEMALES, and especially for that

or stram.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
163
FRIGHT (EFFECTS OF).-See Chap. I, Consequences of MORAL
EMOTIONS.
HYDROPHOBIA.-According to the opinion of Doctor Hering,
it is advisable to apply distant heat to the recent wound, (See
Chap. XXVI, ENVENOMED WOUNDS), until the febrile shud-
derings appear; and to continue this practice, three or four
times a-day, until the wound is healed, without leaving a co-
loured cicatrice.
At the same time the patient should take, every five or seven
days, or as often as the aggravation of the wound requires it,
one dose of bell. or lach. or also of hydrophobine, till the cure
is completed.
If, at the end of seven or eight days, a small vesicle shows
itself under the tongue, with feverish movements, it will be ne-
cessary to open it with a lancet or sharp-pointed scissors, and
to rince the mouth with salt and water.
If the raging state has commenced, before assistance can be
procured for the patient, the medicines that ought to be admi-
nistered, will be, according to the circumstances, especially:
Bell. or lach. or else again: Canth. hyos. merc. or also: stram.
or verat. (See MENTAL ALIENATIONS.)
HYPOCHONDRIASIS.-The medicines which merit a pre-
ference in this kind of moral affection, are in general: N-vom.
followed by sulph.or: calc. followed by chin. and natr. or else
again: Anac. aur. con. grat. lach. mosch. natr-m. phos. phos-ac.
sep. and staph.
If Hypochondriasis is caused by SEXUAL EXCESS, Loss of
HUMOURS, or other DEBILITATING CAUSES, the principal medi-
cines will be: Calc. chin. n-vom. and sulph. or else again:
Anac. con. natr-m. phos-ac. sep. and staph.
For that which results from disorders in the ABDOMINAL
FUNCTIONS, caused by a SEDENTARY LIFE, EXCESSIVE STUDY,
&c., they are especially: N-vom. and sulph. or else again:
Aur. calc. lach. natr. and sil.
With respect to the symptoms, which determine the choice
in particular cases, the sufferings in Hypochondriasis are com-
monly so complicated, that to comprise them in our indications,
it would be almost necessary to repeat the entire pathogenesy
of the medicines that have been cited. To render, however,
some assistance to beginners, we shall point out some of the
most prominent moral and physical symptoms of the principal
medicines, while we recommend the student to complete these
indications by referring to the whole of the remaining symp-
toms of the pathogenesy.
Thus it will be proper to administer ;

CHAPTER VI.
AFFECTIONS OF THE HEAD AND HAIRY SCALP.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
ALOPECIA AND FALLING OFF OF THE HAIR.-
OF THE HAIR.—The principal
medicines against alopecia are in general: Calc. hep. graph. kal.
lyc. nitr-ac. phos-ac. sil. sulph. or else again: Aur. bar-c. carb-
v. caust. chin. magn. merc. natr-m. sep. staph. zinc.
Falling off of the hair, in consequence of severe ACUTE
DISEASES, requires in preference: Lyc. hep. and sil. or else:
Calc. carb-v. natr-m. phos-ac. and sulph. and in LYING-IN
WOMEN: Calc. lyc. natr-m. sulph. may be employed with
great success.
For falling off of the hair, caused by DEBILITATING LOSSES,
the principal medicines are: chin. and fer. and if it has taken
place in consequence of frequent perspirations, merc. is pre-
ferable.
If the falling off of the hair is produced by long continued
GRIEF, the medicines are especially: Phos-ac. or staph. or
else again: Caus. graph. ign. and lach.
That which is the result of frequent MEGRIMS or of HYs-
TERICAL CEPHALALGIA, requires in preference: Hep. or nitr-ac.
or: Ant. calc. sil. sulph. or else again : Aur. phos. and sep.
Lastly, that which proceeds from ABUSE OF MERCURY often
yields to hep. or carb-v. and that which arises from ABUSE OF
CINCHONA to bell.
With respect to the indications manifested by the STATE OF
THE HAIRY SCALP and of the HAIR, if there is great SENSI-
BILITY OF THE INTEGUMENTS OF THE HEAD, a preference may
be given to Calc. bar-c. carb-v. chin. hep. natr-m. sil. and
sulph.
If there is violent ITCHING IN THE HAIRY SCALP, especially
when it is caused by repercussion of old eruptions: Graph. kal.
lyc. sil. and sulph.
If there are MANY SCALES on the head: Calc. graph. magn.
and staph.
If the hair has a strong TENDENCY TO TURN GREY: Graph.
lyc. phos-ac. and sulph-ac.
If the hair is in a state of excessive DRYNESS: Calc. kal, and
phos-ac.
184
CHAP. VI. HEAD.
If it is covered with CLAMMY PERSPIRATION:
merc.
Chin. or
Falling off of the hair on the LATERAL PARTS of the head
sometimes indicates: Graph. or phos. ; while that which occu-
pies the CROWN of the head, requires rather: Bar-c. lyc. and
zinc.
For other medicines, which may be also employed, See
Sect. 6, Falling off of the HAIR.
APOPLEXY AND CEREBRAL CONGESTION.-The medi-
cines which have been hitherto employed with most success
are, in general: Arn. bar-c. bell. cocc. lach. n-vom. op. puls.
and, perhaps in some cases, recourse may be had to: Acon.
ant. coff. con. dig. hyos. ipec. merc. n-mos. tart.
SANGUINEOUS apoplexy requires principally: Arn. bell. lach.
n-vom. op. or else again: Acon. ant. bar-c. coff. ipec. hyos.
merc. puls.
In SEROUS apoplexy: Arn. ipec. dig. merc. have been re-
commended, and perhaps : Bar-c. cocc. and con. will be often
found to be indicated.
For NERVOUS apoplexy: Arn. bell. coff. hyos. stram. have
been proposed.
PARALYSIS, resulting from an attack of apoplexy, frequently
finds a remedy among : Arn. bell. bar-c. n-vom. stram. zinc. or
perhaps also among: Anac. con. lach. laur. stram.
With respect to the EXTERNAL CAUSES, by which apoplexy
may be occasioned; if it manifests itself in persons addicted to
SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS, a preference may be given to: Lach. n-
vom. op. or else again to: Bar-c. coff. con. puls.
For AGED PERSONS, especially: Bar-c. or op. or else: Con.
dig. merc. &c.
In consequence of SANGUINEOUS EVACUATIONS, or other debi-
litating losses: Chin. or cocc.
And when resulting from an OVER-LOADED STOMACH, espe-
cially: Ipec. n-vom. or puls. provided however some spoonsfull
of black coffee are insufficient.
With reference to the symptoms which characterize dif-
ferent cases of apoplexy, a preference may be given to :
ARNICA, if the pulse is full and strong, with paralysis of the
limbs (especially on the left side); loss of consciousness and
drowsiness, with snoring, moans, murmurs, involuntary evacu-
ution of fæces and urine, &c.
BARYTA, if there are: Paralysis of the tongue or upper extre-
mities (especially on the right side); mouth drawn to one side;
confused consciousness, with childish manners, and want of sup-
port for the body: Coma somnolentum, with agitation, moans,
and murmurs; circumscribed redness of the cheeks.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
185
Belladonna, if there are: Drowsiness, with loss of con-
sciousness, and of speech, or with convulsive movements of the
limbs and muscles of the face; paralysis of the limbs, espe-
cially on the right side; mouth drawn to one side; paralysis of
the tongue; salivation; difficult or even impossible deglutition
(loss of sight); dilated pupils; red and prominent eyez; redness
and bloatedness of the face.
COCCULUS, if the attacks are preceded by vertigo and nausea,
and if during the attack itself, there are: Convulsive move-
ments of the eyes; paralysis; especially of the lower extre-
mities, with insensibility, &c.
LACHESIS, if there are: Drowsiness and loss of consciousness,
with blueness of the face, convulsive movements, or trembling of
the limbs, or paralysis especially of the left side; attacks pre-
ceded by frequent abstraction of mind, or vertigo, with con-
gestion in the head.
NUX-VOM. Drowsiness with snoring and salivation, blear-
eyed, dull eyes; paralysis, especially of the lower extremities;
hanging down of the lower jaw; attacks preceded by vertigo,
with head-ache and humming in the ears, or by nausea, with
desire to vomit.
OPIUM, if the attacks are preceded by stupor, vertigo, and
heaviness of the head, humming in the ears, difficulty in hear-
ing, fixed look, sleeplessness, or anxious dreams, or frequent
desire to sleep; then, during the attack; Tetanic rigidity of the
body; redness, bloatedness, and heat of the face; heat of the
head, which is covered with perspiration; redness of the eyes,
with insensible and dilated pupils; slow, snoring respiration ;
convulsive movements and trembling of the arms and legs, foam
before the mouth, &c.
PULSATILLA, if there are: Drowsiness and loss of conscious-
ness, with bloatedness and bluish-redness of the face, loss of
the power of movement, Violent palpitation of the heart, pulse
almost extinct, and rattling respiration.
For the remainder of the medicines that have been cited,
consult their pathogenesy and compare the articles: CONGES-
TION in the head, VERTIGO, and Chap. III, COMA SOMNOLEN-
See also Chap. I. SPASMS.
TUM.
ARACHNOIDITIS.-See MENINGITIS.
CEPHALALGIA.—In many cases, head-aches are only symp-
tomatic, depending upon some other disease, on the cure of
which they disappear. But they are often also (if we may be
allowed the expression), idiopathic, or constitute at least the
most prominent symptom of the disease, and then they must
be removed by a direct mode of treatment, while as much
attention is paid to the nature of the pain, as to the cause,

neither acon. nor bell. is sufficient, Cin. con. dig. hyos. lach.
merc. op. and stram. have been also recommended.
For CHRONIC HYDROCEPHALUS, the medicines, which have
been recommended, as most efficacious, are especially: Hell.
ars. and sulph.
With respect to the DETAILS of the medicines to be em-
ployed, Compare MENINGITIS.

mory.
MEGRIM.—See NERVOUS CEPHALALGIA.

MENINGITIS AND ENCEPHALITIS.-To promote practical
facility, we have united the inflammations of the brain and
those of its membranes in the same article, since, in the majo-
rity of cases, there is in fact a complication of the symptoms of
both these affections.
The best medicine against cerebral inflammations in general,
is : Bell. which may sometimes be preceded by acon.
In some
individual cases, recourse has been also had to: Bry. hyos. op.
stram. and sulph. and, perhaps, in other cases: Camph. canth.
cin. cupr. dig. hell. hyos. lach. and merc. may be also admi-
nistered.
Cerebral inflammation in CHILDREN, may require besides
bell. Acon. cin. hell. lach. and merc.
That which arises from a SUN-STROKE, appears to require in
preference: Bell. or camph. or perhaps again: Lach.
That which is caused by CONGELATION, or a violent CHILL
in the head: Acon. or bry. or perhaps again: Ars. or hyos.
Cerebral inflammation, proceeding from repercussion of ERY-
SIPELAS, or other EXANTHEMATA, such as SCARLATINA, &c.
requires in preference: Bell. or rhus. or perhaps again: Lach.
or merc. or also phos. ? and that from suppression of an ОTORR-
HÆA: Puls, or sulph.
If cerebral inflammation threatens to turn to HYDROCE-
PHALUS, the medicines which will be found to be most fre-
quently indicated, are especially: Bell. merc. or lach. and if
HYDROCEPHALUS has already SHOWN ITSELF, besides bell. merc.
and lach. recourse may be had to: Arn. dig. hell. or else:
Cin. con. hyos. op. and stram.
With respect to particular indications, furnished by the symp-
toms, a preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, especially at the commencement of the disease, and
when there are: Violent inflammatory fever, with raving and
furious delirium, violent burning pains through the entire
brain, and especially in the forehead; redness and bloatedness
of the face; redness of the eyes, &c.
198
CHAP. VI. HEAD.
BELLADONNA, if the patient buries his head in the pillow, and
is exasperated by the slightest noise and the least light; or when

of the face; lethargic sleep, with convulsed and half-open eyes;
great heat in the head with violent pulsation of the carotids;
swelling of the veins of the head; loss of consciousness and of
speech, or murmurs, violent delirium; convulsive movements of
the limbs; spasmodic constriction of the throat, with dysphagia,
and other symptoms of hydrophobia, vomiting, unnoticed eva-
cuation of fæces and emission of urine.
BRYONIA, when there are: Prolonged shiverings, with red-
ness of the face, heat in the head and violent thirst; continued
desire to sleep, with delirium, starts, cries, and cold perspi-
ration on the forehead, pressive, burning pains in the head, or
shootings, which traverse the brain.
CINA, if there are: Vomiting, with clean tongue, or evacuation
of lumbrici, upwards or downwards.
HYOSCYAMUs, if there are: Drowsiness and loss of consci-
ousness with delirium about one's affairs, singing, murmurs and
laughter, carpologia, starts, &c.
ÕPIUM, when there are: Lethargic sleep, with snoring and
half-open eyes, and dizziness after waking; frequent vomiting;
complete apathy, with total absence of desire and of complaint.
STRAMONIUM, when there is: Sleep, which is almost natural,
but with jerking of the limbs, moans, tossing, and mental
absence after waking; or when there are: Fixed look, desire to
withdraw in a slow and timid manner, or to run away, with
cries and fear; violent feverish heat; redness of the face and
moisture on the skin.

VERTIGO.-Though vertigo is most frequently only a sympto-
matic phenomenon, which disappears with the cure of its
cause, there are, however, cases in which it is the prominent
symptom of an affection, and requires, if the expression may be
allowed, direct treatment. The best medicines that can be
employed in such a case are in general: Acon. ant. arn. bell.

AFFECTIONS OF THE EYES AND SIGHT.
SECTION 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
AMAUROSIS.--See AMBLYOPIA AMAUROTICA.
AMBLYOPIA, or WEAKNESS OF SIGHT.-Nervous weakness of
sight may be produced by so many different external influences,
and may be connected with so many different disorders of the
organism, that there is hardly any medicine which may not be
efficacious in this affection, according to the case. While,
therefore, we have limited our attention to the most important
medicines, we find that we have noticed a considerable number.
But as we have annexed to cach a series of indications to direct
the choice, there can be no difficulty in selecting the medicine
suited to any particular case.
The best medicines against the various cases of Amblyopia
are in general: Aur. bell. calc. caus. chin, cic. cin. dros. hyos.
merc. natr-m. n-vom. phos. puls. ruta. sep. sil. sulph. verat. or
again: Agar. cann. caps. con. croc. dig. dulc. euphr. guaj. kal.
lach. lyc. magn. natr. nitr-ac. op. plumb. rhus. sec. spig. tart.
zinc.
For AMBLYOPIA, properly so called (simple weakness of sight,
or confused sight), they are principally: Anac. bell. calc. caps.
cin. croc. hyos. lyc. magn. puls. rut. sep. and sulph. or again :
Cann. caus. natr. natr-m. phosph. plumb. &c.
Against AMBLYOPIA AMAUROTICA (Incipient amaurosis), a
preference may be given to: Aur. bell. calc. caps. caus. chin.
cic. con. dros. dulc. hyos. merc. natr. natr-m. nitr-ac. op. phos.
puls. rhus. secal. sep. lach. lyc. n-mosch.? plumb. zinc. &c.
For COMPLETE AMAUROSIS, if not incurable, the same me-
dicines may be generally employed as in AMBLYOPIA AMAU-
228
CHAP. VII. EYES.
ROTICA, provided the choice is decided, not by the intensity
of the affection, but by the totality of the symptoms. All that
can be done in this case is to select in preference the most
powerful medicines, such as: Bell. calc. merc. phos. sep. and
sulph. &c. and yet it is necessary at the same time to have
recourse without hesitation to such other medicines as the en-
semble of the state may require.
For amaurosis ERETHISTICA a preference may be given to:
Bell. calc. chin. con. hyos. merc. nitr-ac. op. phos. sep. sulph.
&c.
For TORPID amaurosis, (l'amaurose torpide), on the contrary:
Aur. caps. caus. chin. dros. dulc. natr. natr-m. op. phos-ac.
plumb. secal. verat. &c.
With respect to the EXTERNAL CAUSES from which weak-
ness of sight may proceed, if it be the result of FINE WORK,
a preference may be given to Bell. or ruta. or perhaps again.
to: Carb-v. calc, and spig.
When arising from DEBILITATING CAUSES, such as Loss of
HUMOURS, SEXUAL EXCESS, &c. the most eligible medicines
are especially: Chin. or cin. or perhaps also: Anac. calc. natr.
natr-m. n-vom. or sulph. or perhaps again: Phos-ac. or
sep.
In persons addicted to SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS: Chin. or again :
Calc. lach. n-vom. op. or sulph.
In consequence of a COLD in the head or eyes: Bell. dulc.
or cham. cuphr. merc. n-vom. puls. and sulph. &c.
In consequence of MECHANICAL INJURIES, such as blows in
the head; violent concussions, &c.; Arn. or con. euphr. rhus.
or ruta. or staph.
In OLD MEN, or AGED PERSONS principally: Aur, bar-c.
con. op. phos. secal.
In SCROFULOUS subjects especially: Bell. calc. chin.cin. dulc.
merc. sulph. or else again: Aur. cuphr. hep. n-vom. or puls.
When the result of ARTHRITIC METASTASIS, especially: Ant.
bell. merc. puls. rhus. spig. and sulph. &c.
When produced by a RHEUMATIC cause, principally: Cham.
euphr. lyc. merc. nux. puls. rhus. spig. sulph. or again: Caus.
hep. lach. &c.
After the SUPPRESSION OF A SUPPURATION or of a mucous
discharge: Chin. euphr. hep. lyc. puls. sil. sulph. &c.
After the suppression of chronic HÆMORRHAGE, such as
Hæmorrhoids, Catamenia, &c.: Bell. calc. lyc. n-vom. phos.
puls. sep. sulph. &c.
After REPERCUSSION
OF EXANT HEMATA, or of an Erup-
tion: Bell. calc. caust. lyc. lach. merc. sil. sulph. &c.
After abuse of MERCURY, or of other METALLIC substances,
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
229
especially: Sulph. or hep. nitr-ac. sil. or else again: Aur. bell.
carb-v. chin. lach. op. puls. &c.
With regard to the indications derived from AFFECTIONS OF
OTHER ORGANS, with which nervous weakness of the sight may
be connected, if it is associated with NERVOUS CEPHALALGIA,
recourse may be had to: Aur. bell. calc. hep. nitr-ac. n-vom.
phosph. puls. sep. sulph. &c.
If with CONGESTION OF BLOOD in the head: Aur. bell. calc.
chin. hyos. n-vom. op. phos. sil. sulph. &c.
With diseases of THE EAR, OR OF THE HEARING, especially :
Cic. nitr-ac. petr. phosph. puls. &c.
With GASTRIC AND ABDOMINAL affections, principally :
Ant. calc. caps. chin. cocc. lyc. natr-m. n-vom. phos. puls.
sulph. &c.
With disorders in the UTERINE SYSTEM, especially: Aur.
bell. cic, con. cocc. magn, natr-m. n-vom. plat. phos. puls. rhus.
sep. stram. sulph. &c.
With PULMONARY affections: Calc. cann. hep. lach. lyc.
natr-m. phos. sil. sulph. &c.
With diseases of the HEART: Aur. calc. cann. dig. lach. phosph.
puls. sep. spig. &c.
With SPASMODIC affections, Epilepsy, &c.: Bell. lach. caus.
cic. ign. hyosc. lach op. sil. stram. sulph.
Lastly, with respect to the indications furnished by the
SYMPTOMS, it is clear, from what has been previously said,
that it will not be sufficient to collect, merely those of the
injured sight and of the eyes, but that attention must be paid
also to those presented by the entire organism. But these
symptoms may be so varied that it is absolutely impossible to
give a complete enumeration of them, without repeating the
entire pathogenesy of the medicines cited. We shall, there-
fore, restrict ourselves to a selection of those which are directly
related to the sight, leaving to pathologists the task of adding
to these indications the symptoms of the text. While suitable
regard is bestowed upon these supplemental researches, a pre-
ference may be given to :

before the eyes; hemiopia, which causes all objects to appear
as if they were cut horizontally; tensive pains in the eyes.

AFFECTIONS OF THE EARS AND HEARING.
SECTION 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
DYSECOIA or DIFFICULTY IN HEARING. The best medicines
are: Calc. caus. graph. lach. led. merc. nitr-ac. petr. phos. puls.
sil. sulph.
Or else: Anac. ant. ars. asa. aur. bell. carb-v? cic. coff. con.
hep. hyos. kal. magn. mur-ac. n-vom. phos-ac. staph. verat. &c.
(See Sect. 3).
For CONGESTIVE dysecoia, a preference may be given to:
Aur. bell. graph. merc. phos. sil. or perhaps again: Coff. hyos.
petr. sulph. &c.
For NERVOUS dysecoia, principally: Caus. petr. phos. phos-ac.
or perhaps again: Anac. mur-ac. nitr. verat. &c.
For CATARRHAL or RHEUMATIC dysecoia, caused by a cOLD
in the head or in the whole body, especially: Ars. bell. led.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
257
merc. and puls. or again: Calc. caus. cham. coff. hep. lach.
nitr-ac. sulph.
Dysecoia, caused by inveterate HERPES or the REPERCUSSION
OF other ERUPTIONS, requires in preference: Sulph. or ant. or
else again: Caust. graph. lach? &c.
That which manifests itself in consequence of ExANTHEMATA,
such as MEASLES, SCARLATINA, &c: Bell. merc. puls. sulph. or
else: Carb-v.-When it is the result of MEASLES, the princi-
pal medicines are: Puls. and carb-v. when of SCARLATINA :
Bell. or hep. and when of SMALL-POX: Merc. or sulph.
For Dysecoia, which proceeds from the suppression of
INTERMITTENT FEVERS by ABUSE OF CINCHONA, they are
especially Cale. and puls. or perhaps also: Carb-v. hep. n-vom.
and sulph.
:
For that from ABUSE OF MERCURY, principally: Asa. nitr-ac.
staph. or again: Aur. carb-v? chin? hep. petr. and sulph.
In consequence of frequent ANGINE TONSILLARES and swel-
ling or HYPERTROPHY OF THE AMYGDALE, especially: Aur.
merc. nitr-ac. staph.
In consequence of Fevers or other NERVOUS disorders,
especially: Arn. phos. phos-ac. verat.
Lastly, in consequence of the SUPPRESSION OF a discharge
from the ears or nose: Hep. lach. led. or else: Bell. merc.
puls.
With respect to the indications furnished by the SYMPTOMS,
a preference may be given to :
CALCAREA, when there are: Deafness, as if caused by ob-
struction of the ears; frequent humming, and rolling or
tinkling, singing, and music; or frequent throbbings, with heat
in the ears; Continued dryness of the ears, or else purulent dis-
charge; pressive head-ache in the forehead, &c.
CAUSTICUM, against: Sensation of obstruction in the ears,
with rumbling, humming, and roaring in the head; loud vi-
bration of all sounds, and even of the human voice, in the ears;
discharge from the ears; rheumatic pains in the ears and limbs ;
extraordinary sensitiveness to cold wind, &c.
GRAPHITES: Great dryness in the ears, or purulent otorrhæa ;
difficulty in hearing, which is sometimes removed by the
motion of a carriage; singing, whistling, and tinkling, or
humming and thundering in the ears, especially at night, or a
sensation as if the air penetrated to the Eustachian tube;
herpes and scabs round the ears and on other parts of the
body.
LACHESIS: Dryness of the ears, with insufficient cerumen,
which is at the same time too hard and too pale, or white and
like pap; painful pulsations, cracking or humming, rolling and
258
CHAP. VIII. EARS.
the beating of a drum in the ear, with loud reverberation of all
sounds; excoriation and scabs, round the ears, &c. (It is often
suitable after or before Caust).
LEDUM, when there are: Sensation as if the ears were
stopped, with humming on the inside; confusion and giddiness
of the head, on the side affected; with sensation of torpor in
the integuments; and especially after the suppression of an
otorrhæa, or of a nasal or ocular catarrh.
MERCURIUS: Obstruction of the ears, which ceases when
swallowing or blowing the nose; Extraordinary reverberation
of all sounds in the ear; tinkling, roaring and humming, espe-
cially in the evening; sensation of coldness in the cars; dis-
charge of cerumen, or purulent otorrhea, with ulceration of
the ears; rheumatic pains in the ears, head, or teeth; great
disposition to perspiration, &c.
NITRI ACID. Great dryness of the ears, or discharge of
cerumen ; obstruction of the cars, with grumbling, beating, and
cracking; frequent tooth-ache, with scorbutic affection of the
gums; shootings in the teeth and ears.
PETROLEUM, when there are: Troublesome dryness of the
internal car, or discharge of blood and pus; tinkling or rolling
and humming in the cars; herpes and excoriation in the ears
or adjacent parts; frequent odontalgia, with swelled face;
bleeding of the gums, expansive pains in the occiput, &c. (It
is often suitable after Nitr-ac.)
PHOSPHORUS, if there is a difficulty in hearing sounds, especi-
ally that of the human voice, with excessive echoing of all sounds
and especially words, in the ears, and with reverberation
penetrating into the head; Congestion of blood in the ears,
with throbbing and pulsations; sensation of dryness or dis-
charge of cerumen.
PULSATILLA, when there are: Hard, black, or too liquid
cerumen, with discharge; shooting pains in the cars, or dis-
charge of pus or blood: sensation as if the cars were ob-
structed, with roaring and humming, or with pulsative mur-
murs, tinkling or chirping; especially in persons of a mild.
character, or in women, disposed to leucorrhæa and other
disorders of the uterine system.
SILICEA, if there are: Discharge of cerumen; obstruction of
the ears, which is dissipated by blowing the nose, or with
detonation; difficulty in hearing any sound, especially that of the
human voice, and without noise in the ears, or else with
tinkling, clucking, and noise, as if from a bird flapping its
wings; aggravation of the deafness during the full moon, or else
at the new moon; deafness alternately, with excessive acute-
ness of hearing; scabs behind the ears.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
259
SULPHUR Difficulty in hearing sounds, and principally that
of the human voice; obstruction and frequent closing up of the
ears, especially when eating and blowing the nose, or else, only
on one side; gurgling or undulation in the ears, as if caused by
water, or humming and roaring; congestion of blood in the
head; disposition to cold in the head or other mucous dis-
charges; discharge from the ears, &c.
For the remainder of the medicines cited, examine their
pathogenesy and for the others, which may be also employed,
See the SYMPTOMS OF THE HEARING. Sect. 2. Compare also
the articles: OTALGIA, OTORRHEA, HUMMING IN THE EARS,
&c.
Those who are accustomed to reflect, will understand,
that profitable hints for the treatment of dysecoia, may be
derived from a comparison of what has been said under the
article AMBLYOPIA (Chap. VII) with respect to the indications
furnished by the nature and causes of that affection.
HÆMORRHAGE (Auricular)-See Sanguineous OTORRIEA.
HERPES IN THE EARS.—That kind of Herpes, which is usually
seated in the ears, or in the skin behind the ears, mostly requires :
Graph. hep. merc. oleand. petr. sulph. or again: Bar-c. calc. cic.
lach. lyc. mez. sep. sil. (See also Sect. 2, the articles: Herpes,
Eruptions, Excoriations, &c. and compare Chap. II. Diseases of
the skin).
HUMMING IN THE EARS.-The most eligible medicines are :
Carb-v. caus. chin. graph. merc. puls. and sulph. or again: Acon.
ant. arn. ars. bell. bar-c. bry. calc. carb-a. chum. coff. con. lach.
lyc. merc. natr-m. nitr-ac. n-vom. petr. phos. sep. sulph. (Com-
pare besides DYSECOIA, and See Sect. 3, the different NOISES
IN THE EARS).
OTALGIA.—The best medicines are, in general: Bell. cham.
merc. puls. sulph. or else: Arn. chin. dulc. hep. n-vom. plat.
spig. or else again : Ant. bor. bryon. calc. magn. phos-ac. &c.
For INFLAMMATORY Otalgia, they are especially: Bell. merc.
n-vom. and puls. or again; Bor. bry, calc. magn. &c.
For RHEUMATIC Otalgia: Bell. merc. puls. or again: Arn.
chin. hep. n-vom. &c.
That which is caused by a cHILL or by CHECKED PERSPIRA-
TION, requires especially: Cham. chin. dulc. or again: Merc.
puls. or sulph.
In all cases, a preference may be given to :
BELLADONNA, if there are: Shootings in and behind the
ears digging and boring pains, tearing and shootings, extending
into the throat, with tinkling, roaring and humming in the ears;
Excessive sensibility to the least noise; painful affection of the
1
260
CHAP. VIII. EARS.
head and eyes, also with photophobia; heat and redness of the
face; congestion of blood in the head.
CHAMOMILLA, if there are: Shootings, as if caused by knives,
or tensive and drawing pains, into the lobe of the ear; dry-
ness of the ears, or sensation of obstruction; excessive sensi-
bility to the least noise, and also to music; great sensitiveness
which renders the pains insupportable; susceptibility, ill-
humour, and disposition to be offended at trifles.
MERCURIUS: Shooting pains, deeply seated, or tearing,
extending into the cheeks and teeth, with sensation of coldness
in the ears, aggravation of the pains in the warmth of the bed;
or spasmodic pains, with inflammatory redness of the ear:
discharge of cerumen; profuse perspiration, without relief,
&c.
PULSATILLA; Jerking, tearing pains, as if something were
about to escape through the ears; redness, swelling, and heat of
the external ear, or shooting and tearing pains, which attack
the entire of the side of the head that is affected, and
which are so insupportable, as to cause the loss of reason,
especially in persons of a chilly disposition, who are disposed
to weep, and principally in women.
SULPHUR, if there are: Drawing, tearing, or shooting pains,
extending into the head or throat; burning heat, which comes
out of the cars; excessive sensibility of hearing to the least
noise, to such an extent as to cause nausea, on listening
to the softest musical tones; expecially in persons subject
to colds in the head, or to congestions in the head.
to:
Among the other medicines cited, recourse may be also had
ARNICA, in nervous, sensitive persons, who experience a
return of the complaint from the slightest cause, with pressure
and shootings in and behind the ears, tearing, internal heat,
and great sensibility to noise.
CHINA, if the tearing pains manifest themselves rather
externally than internally, and are aggravated by contact, with
redness of the ear, internal shootings and tinkling in the
ears. (It is often suitable after arnic).
DULCAMARA, if the pains are increased during repose, espe-
cially at night, with nausea.
HEPAR, frequently after bell. if that is insufficient, and if
there are shootings in the cars, when blowing the nose, pul-
sations, throbbings, and humming.
NUX-VOм. in persons of a lively choleric temperament, and
if there are tearing shooting pains, which force one to cry out,
or which extend into the forehead and temples, with tearing

in the bones of the face, and aggravation of the pain in the
morning, or in the evening, in bed.
PLATINA, if there are: Violent, spasmodic pains, shocks,
rolling and thundering in the ears, which are cold, with a sen-
sation of numbness, with crawling, which extends over the
face.
SPIGELIA, against; Troublesome, pressive pain, as if caused
by a plug in the ear; with pressive pain and tearing in the
bones of the face.
Compare also: PROSOPALGIA, ODONTALGIA, CEPHALALGIA,
NEURALGIA, &c.
OTITIS. For acute INTERNAL Otitis, Puls. will be found
in most cases almost a specific. But in some instances, if the
complaint attacks the brain, and is attended with great anguish,
vomiting, coldness of the limbs, delirium, &c. recourse must
be had to bell.
If, after administering either of these two medicines, there
still remain sufferings, which require other remedies, these will
be principally: Merc. n-vom. sulph. or again: Bor. bry. calc.
cham. magn. &c.
For CHRONIC INTERNAL Otitis, with discharge from the ears.
See ОTORRHÆA.

If there is ORCHITIS: Merc. puls. or n-vom.
(Compare besides, the articles: DYSECOIA, OTALGIA, OTITIS,
&c. and See Sect. 2, DISCHArge).
PAROTITIS.-The best medicine against ACUTE PAROTITIS,
is merc. which in most cases will be found a specific.
If, however, the disease assumes a more serious character, if
the inflammation becomes erysipelatous, or if the pain pene-
trates to the brain, while the tumour disappears, with lethargy
and delirium, bell. must be employed in preference, or else hyos.
if bell. is insufficient.
If the patient has been previously subjected to an ABUSE OF
MERCURY, or if merc. is insufficient, if the tumour has begun
to harden, with SLOW FEVER, &c. carb-v. is the medicine that
ought to be employed.
This medicine is also almost always suitable, if the patient has
a VERY HOARSE VOICE, or if there is metastasis on the stomach.
If Carb-v. is not sufficient against the SLOW FEVER, coccul.
may be also used.
In cases of metastasis on the TESTES, puls. or n-vom.
should be preferred.
Besides the medicines cited, there are also: Kal. and rhus.
or else: Am-c. calc. cham. con. which may be administered in
obstinate cases.
(Compare also: ANGINE, Chap. XIII.)
POLYPUS IN THE EARS.-Cal. and staph. are the most eli-
gible medicines.

CHAPTER IX.
AFFECTIONS OF THE NOSE AND OF THE SMELL.
SECTION I.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
ANOSMIA.-The best medicines against chronic loss of smell,
are: Natr-m. sep. sil. sulph. or else: Aur. calc. caust. kal. &c.
(See Sect. 2, SMELL.)
CANCER IN THE NOSE.-
NOSE. The medicines which merit a pre-
ference, are: Ars. aur. calc. carb-an. sep. sil. and sulph. (Com-
pare also CARCINOMA, Chap. II.)
CARIES IN THE NOSE. When this malady arises from a
scrofulous or mercurial origin, Aur. ought always to be pre-
ferred.
For syphilitic caries, merc. is most eligible, but if the patient
has already abused that medicine, then aur. will be the most
suitable.
See besides: OSTITIS and DISEASES OF THE BONES,
Chap. I.
CORYZA, or COLD IN THE HEAD. The best medicines are in
general: Am-c. ars. cham. dulc. hep. lach. merc. n-vom. puls.
sulph.
Or else: Bell. euphr. ign. ipec. lyc. natr. samb.
Or else again: Alum. anac. bry. calc. carb-v. caus, con. graph.
natr-m. nitr-ac. sep. sil. zinc. &c. (See Sect. 3.)
For the PRECURSORS of coryza, if it is tardy in establishing
itself, with catarrhal affection of the frontal sinus, eyes, &c.,
the medicines to be preferred are especially: Am-c. calc. lach.
n-vom. sulph. or again: Caust. hep. and natr-m.
For DRY CORYZA, or catarrhal OBSTRUCTION of the nose, the
medicines are, in general, the same as the preceding, but in
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
271
obstinate cases, recourse may be also had to: Bry. ign. lyc.
natr. natr-m. nitr-ac. phos. plat. sil. &c. (See Sect. 3, DRY
CORYZA AND OBSTRUCTION OF THE NOSE.)
Obstruction of the nose in new-born infants, usually yields
to: N-vom, or samb.
For FLUENT CORYZA, or NASAL BLENORRHEA, the principal
medicines are: Merc. puls. sulph. or Ars. bell. chum. dulc. hep.
ipec. lyc. merc. nitr-ac. sil. &c. (See Sect. 3, FLUENT CORYZA.)
For ORDINARY CORYZA, according to its nature, the most
suitable medicines will be found to be: Merc. hep. bell. lach.
or : Ars. dulc. n-vom. ipec. or: Cham. puls. sulph. or again:
Bry. ign. am-c. euphr.
Coryza, with FEVER, requires mostly: Merc. n-vom.
For CHRONIC Coryza, besides the preceding, recourse may be
also had to: Alum. anac. calc. carb-v. caus. con. graph. lyc.
natr. natr-m. nitr-ac. sep. sil. zinc. (Compare also OZŒNA.)
The medicines that are to be preferred against a DISPOSITION
TO TAKE COLD on the slightest occasion, are: Calc. graph. natr.
puls. sil. and sulph. (Compare also CHILL, Chap. I.)
The sequela of SUPPRESSED CORYZA, mostly require, in gene-
ral: Acon. ars. bell. bry. chin. cin. n-vom. puls. or sulph.
When the HEAD is principally affected, recourse must be had
to: Acon. bell. cham. chin. cin. n-vom. sulph. or, again, to:
Ars. bell. carb-v. lach. lyc. puls.
If the EYES are affected, a preference should be given to :
Bell. cham. euphr. ign. lach. n-vom. puls. or again: Hep. merc.
and sulph.
In case of ASTHMATIC sufferings: Ars. or ipec. or again :
Bry. n-vom. or sulph.
And in case of BRONCHITIS: Acon. bry. merc. n-vom. puls.
rhus. or sulph.
In all cases, a preference may be given to :
AMMONIUM, if there are: Obstruction of the nose, principally
at night, swelling and painful sensibility of the nostrils; blow-
ing of blood from the nose; excessive dryness of the nose; pain
in the eyes, with lachrymation; bleeding of the nose, dryness
of the mouth, especially at night, &c.

bleeding at the nose; hoarseness; humming in the ears; head-
ache, with throbbing in the forehead and nausea; amelioration
from the heat; adypsia, or desire to drink frequently, but little
at a time.

272
CHAP. IX. NOSE.
gravation during repose, and amelioration by movement; bleed-
ing at the nose; dryness of the mouth, without thirst; hoarse-
ness and roughness of the voice.
CHAMOMILLA, principally in children, or after suppressed
perspiration, and especially if there are: Ulceration of the
nostrils, cracked lips; somnolency, heaviness of the head, with
a kind of dulness; shivering with thirst; redness of one cheek,
with paleness of the other; acrid and smarting mucus in the
nose. (It is often suitable before or after puls.)
HEPAR in the majority of cases of ordinary coryza, in which
merc. is indicated, and proves insufficient, or when the patient
has previously taken too much of that medicine; especially if
exposure to cold air renews the complaint or causes head-ache,
or if the coryza attacks only one nostril, and the head-ache
is aggravated by movement.
LACHESIS, in cases in which merc. or hep. is indicated, with-
out being sufficient, and especially if there are: Profuse dis-
charge of serous mucus, swelling and excoriation of the nostrils
and lips, scabs in the nostrils, lachrymation and frequent sneez-
ing; or else, if the catarrhal discharge is a long time in establish-
ing itself, with obstruction of the nose, humming in the ears,
lachrymation, head-ache, ill-humour and complete unfitness for
meditation, and especially if n-vom. is insufficient against that
state.
MERCURIUS, in almost all cases of ORDINARY CORYZA, whe-
ther there is or is not an epidemic; especially if there are: Fre-
quent sneezing; profuse discharge of serous mucus; swelling,
redness, and excoriation of the nose, with itching and aching
pains on pressing the nose; offensive smell of nasal mucus ; pres-
sive head-ache in the forehead; nocturnal perspiration, shivering
or feverish heat; violent thirst; pains in the limbs; aversion to
solitude; aggravation of the state from both heat and cold.

NUX-VOM. if there are: Dry coryza, with obstruction of the
nose; head-ache with heaviness in the forehead, or with shooting
or tearing pains; heat of the face, especially in the evening,
with burning redness of the cheeks; pain, as if beaten, over
the whole body; quarrelsomeness and passion; or if the
coryza is fluent in the morning, but dry in the evening or at
night, with dryness of the mouth, without much thirst; sensa-
tion of dryness in the chest; constipation or hard fæces: or
else, if there are, at the same time, obstruction of the nose and
discharge of brown and corrosive mucus, and if ars. has proved
insufficient against that state. (Compare ars. ipec. and lach.)
PULSATILLA, if there are: Anorexia; loss of taste and smell;
secretion of yellowish, greenish, thick and offensive mucus; swell-
ing of the nose; blowing of blood from the nose; ulcerated
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
273
nostrils; frequent sneezing; photophobia; hoarse voice; hea-
viness and confusion of the head, especially in the evening, and in
the warmth of a room, with obstruction of the nose; ameliora-
tion in the open air; shivering, especially in the evening;
adypsia; tearfulness. (It is often suitable before or after cham.)
SULPHUR, if there are: Obstruction and excessive dryness of
the nose, or else profuse secretion of thick, yellowish and puriform
mucus; frequent sneezing; blowing of blood from the nose;
loss of smell; excoriation and ulceration of the nostrils, &c.
(It is often suitable after puls.)
Among the medicines cited, recourse may be also had to:
BELLADONNA, in cases in which merc. or hep. has been indi-
cated, without being sufficient, and especially if the sense of
smelling is at one time too acute, at another, too dull.
EUPHRASIA, if there is a discharge of much whitish mucus,
with red eyes and lachrymation.
IGNATIA, against coryza in nervous persons, with head-ache
in the forehead and hysterical excitement.
IPECACUANHA, in cases in which arsen. or n-vom. has been
indicated without being sufficient, and especially if there are :
great weakness, anorexia, with nausea, disgust, and even
vomiting.
LYCOPODIUM, if there is obstruction of the nose, especially at
night, with confused head-ache, and burning pain in the
forehead.
NATRUM, if the coryza returns every second day, or if it is
renewed by every current of air and by the slightest chill, and
is removed only by perspiration.
SAMBUCUS, if in new-born infants there is obstruction of the
nose, from thick, tenacious mucus, with waking with a start as
if about to be suffocated.

CHAPTER X.
AFFECTIONS OF THE FACE.
Lips and Jaws.
SECT. 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
ACNE ROSEATA.-See Chap. II.
CANCER or CARCINOMA,-See SCIRRHOUS AND ULCERATION.
CARIES of the jaw.-The medicines that have been hitherto em-
ployed with most success against scrofulous ulceration of the
maxillary bones, are: Cist. and sil. (See also: OSTITIS and
DISEASE in the bones, Chap. I.)
COUPEROSE.-See ACNE ROSEATA, Chap. II.
CRUSTA LACTEA. (Impetigo larvalis, Biett.)—The principal
medicines are: Rhus. and sulph. next: Calc. dulc. graph. hep.
lyc. mez. sass. sep. viol-tr. and perhaps also, in some cases :
Ars. bar-c. bell. cic. iod. merc. natr-m.
Viol-tr. appears to be especially eligible, when there is, at the
same time, an AFFECTION OF THE URINARY ORGANS.
Graph. and mez. have been principally recommended in cases
characterized by the formation of VERY THICK SCABS.
EPHELIDES.—See Chap. II, SPOTS.
HERPES,
ERUPTIONS.-See ACNE ROSEATA, CRUSTA LACTEA, Herpes,
ERYSIPELAS, &c.
ERYSIPELAS in the face.-The best medicines are: Bell. lach.
and rhus. next: cham. graph. hep, sulph. and perhaps also, in
286
CHAP. X. FACE.
some cases: Acon. camph. canth. carb-an. carb-v. euphorb. sep.
stram. &c. (Compare Sect. 2, ERYSIPELAS.)
BELLADONNA is particularly suitable, if there are: Delirium,
shooting cephalalgia, furious look, violent thirst, dry tongue,
parched lips, and other symptoms, which authorise an appre-
hension of metastasis in the membranes of the brain.
LACHESIS is often indicated at the commencement, or else if
bellad. is not powerful enough to combat successfully the cere-
bral affections. Hep. or merc. will be often found to be indi-
cated after: lach.
RHUS is to be preferred against vesicular erysipelas; and
if the integuments of the head are attacked by erysipelas, it
will, in most cases, prove a specific.
See besides, Chap. II, ERYSIPELAS; and compare in
this chapter, FLUXION IN THE CHEEK.
FLUXION IN THE CHEEK.-The best medicines against
swelling of the cheek, caused by ODONTALGIA (commonly
known by the name of FLUXION), are in general: Arn. cham.
merc. mgs-arc. n-vom. puls. sep. staph. or perhaps again: Ars.
aur. bell. bry. carb-v. caus. sulph. &c. (See Sect. 2, SWELLING
OF THE CHEEK, and Semi-lateral swelling of the face.)
If the swelling is RED and HOT, the principal medicines are:
Arn. bell. bry. cham. and merc.
If it is HARD, they are: Arn. bell, or cham.
If it is PALE; Bry. n-vom. sep. and sulph.
If it becomes ERYSIPELATOUs: Cham. sep. or else: Bell.
graph. hep. lach. rhus. sulph, &c. (See ERYSIPelas.)
If it so happens that before the appearance of the swelling in
the face, medicines have been administered against the tooth-
ache that precedes it, puls. may be selected, if merc. or cham. has
been previously employed; or else merc. after puls. or bell. or
bell. after merc. or sulph. after bell. bry. &c.
Compare also: Odontalgia.
GLANDS (Enlargement of the).-See Chap. I, GLANDS; and
Compare Sect. 2, same article.
HERPES on the Face.-The best medicines are: Ars. calc. cic.
graph. lyc. merc. rhus. sep. sulph. or again: Am-c. anac. bar-c.
carb-an. carb-v. hep. kreos. led. nitr-ac. thuy.
CRUSTACEOUS HERPES (Impetigo) requires especially: Calc.
graph. and sulph. or again: Ars. cic. lach? lyc. rhus. sep. &c.
(Compare CRUSTA LACTEA.)
For FURFURACEOUS Herpes, they are especially: Ars. bry.
cic. and sulph. and perhaps again: Anaç, merc. or thuy. &c.
(See Sect. 2.)
Against CORRODING herpes (Lupus), a preference may be
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
287
given to; Ars. calc. cic. rhus. sep. sulph. or again: Alum?
clem? merc? sil?
Lastly SQUAMOUs herpes (Psoriasis) requires mostly: Calc.
graph. lyc. sep. or sulph. or bruc?
Compare also, Chap. II, the articles: ACNE, IMPETIGO,
HERPES, PSORIASIS, &c.
MENTAGRA.—The best medicines are: Ant. cic. graph. and
perhaps also, in case of necessity: Carb-v. clem. dulc. kreos
merc. sass. sep. sil. (Compare also, Sect. 2, SCABS, HERPES,
PUSTULES, &c.)
PARALYSIS of the facial muscles.-The most eligible medicines
are: Caust. and graph.
PROSOPALGIA or pains in the face.-The best medicines are,
in general: Acon. bell. caus. coloc. con. hep. lyc. merc. mez. n-
vom. phos. plat. spig. staph.
Or else: Bry. calc. caps, chin. lyc. puls. rhus. stann. sulph.
thuy. verat.
Ör again: Act. arn, ars. bar-c. cham. coff. kal. kal-ch? magn?
magn-m? &c. (See Sect. 2, PAINS IN THE FACE.)
INFLAMMATORY prosopalgia mostly requires: Acon. arn. bry,
phos. staph. sulph. or else again: Bar-c. bell. lach. merc. plat.
thuy. verat.
For RHEUMATIc prosopalgia, the medicines most frequently
indicated are: Acon. caus. chin. merc. mez. phos. puls. spig.
sulph, or again: Arn. bry. hep. lach. magn. n-vom. verat.
ARTHRITIC prosopalgia requires, in the majority of cases:
Caus. coloc, merc. n-vom. rhus. spig. &c.
For NERVOUS prosopalgia (Tic douloureux, Facial neuralgia),
a preference may be given to: Bell. caps. lyc. plat. spig.mgs-
arc. or else again: Hyos. lach. magn. n-vom. &c.
Prosopalgia, arising from abuse of MERCURY, requires espe-
cially Aur. carb-v. chin. hep. sulph. &c.
:
For that which appears in YOUNG PERSONS (and especially
in young females) of a PLETHORIC habit, they are especially :
Acon. bell. or calc. chin. lach. phos. plat.
In NERVOUS persons, especially; Bell. lach. lyc. plat. spig.
In all cases, a preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, if there are: redness and heat of the face, with
crawling pain, or pains as if from ulceration, which occupies
only one side of the face; swelling of the cheek or jaws; fever-
ish heat, thirst; excessive exasperation, with agitation and
tossing, &c.
BELLADONNA, if the pain follows the course of the sub-
orbital nerve, and is easily excited by rubbing the part af-
fected; or if there are tearing, shooting pains in the bones,
jaws, or zygomatic process; rigidity of the nape of the neck;
288
CHAP. X. FACE.
twitches in the eyelids; convulsive jerks of the muscles of the
face, and distortion of the mouth; heat and redness of the
face, &c.
CAUSTICUM, if there are tensive or pulsative pains in the
bones of the face, and especially in the zygomatic process, with
a sort of paralysis of the facial muscles; or drawing pains in
the jaws, which hinder opening the mouth; rheumatic pains
in the extremities, humming in the ears, &c.
COLOCYNTHIS, against tearing and shooting pains, which
occupy especially the left side of the face, and extend into the
head, temples, nose, ears, and teeth, with swollen face, aggra-
vation of the pains from the slightest touch, &c.
CONIUM, especially if the pains come on at night, and are
tearing or shooting.
HEPAR, if the pains in the bones of the face (zygomatic pro-
cess) are aggravated especially by contact, and extend into the ears
and temples.
LYCOPODIUM, against pains which commence with a sensa-
tion of coldness, and occupy principally the right side of the
face, with aggravation at night or in the evening.
MERCURIUS, if the pains are tearing or shooting, and affect
the entire of one side of the head, from the temples to the
teeth, and if they are aggravated especially at night, in the warmth
of the bed, with salivation, lachrymation, perspiration on the
face or head, sleeplessness, &c.
MEZEREUM, against spasmodic, stupifying pains, which
occupy the left side of the zygomatic process, and extend into
the eye, temple, ear, teeth, neck and shoulder, with aggrava-
tion or renewal of the pains after partaking of anything hot, or
coming into a room from the open air.
NUX-VOM. against tearing and drawing pains, extending into
the ear, with swelling of the cheek; redness of the face or of
(one of) the cheeks, or yellowish colour, especially round the
nose and mouth; crawling in the face, with palpitation of the
muscles; aggravation of the pains from meditation and intel-
lectual labour, wine, coffee, &c.
PHOSPHORUS: Tearing pains, especially on the left side, with
itching and tension in the skin of the face; bloatedness and
paleness of the face; aggravation of the pains from every move-
ment of the muscles of the face, when eating and opening the
mouth, speaking, &c. also from the slightest contact; pains,
extending from the jaws into the root of the nose or into the
ear; congestion in the head, with vertigo, humming in the ears,
&c.
PLATINA, if the pains are crawling, with sensation of coldness
and torpor on the side affected, or spasmodic pain and tensive
CLINICAL REMARKS
289
pressure in the zygomatic process, aggravation or renewal of
the pains in the evening and during repose; disposition to
lachrymation; redness of the face, with thirst, &c.
SPIGELIA, when there are: Jerking, tearing, burning and pres-
sure in the zygomatic process; violent pains, which can endure
neither the slightest touch nor the least movement, with
shining swelling of the side affected, or with anguish of heart
and great agitation.
STAPHYS: Pressive, pulsative pains, extending from the
teeth into the eye; or shooting, burning, drawing, incisive or
tearing pains, with sensation of swelling on the side affected,
spasmodic weeping, coldness of the hands and cold perspiration
on the face.
For the rest of the medicines cited, see their PATHO-
GENESY, and compare: Chap. I, NEURALGIA, and also Chap.
XI, ODONTALGIA.-See likewise Sect. 2, the different PAINS in
the Face,

CHAPTER XII.
AFFECTIONS OF THE MOUTH.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
APHTHÆ in the mouth.-The best medicines, especially in chil-
dren, are: Bor. merc. n-vom. sulph. sulph-ac. &c.
and Compare STOMACACE.
DUMBNESS.-See SPEECH.
See Sect. 2,
GLOSSITIS, or inflammation of the tongue. The best medi-
cines are: Acon, arn, ars. bell. lach. merc.
If this state is caused by MECHANICAL INJURIES or by the
STING OF BEES, the principal medicines will be: Acon. and arn.
administered alternately.
If the SWELLING is exceedingly LARGE, or if there are INDU-
RATIONS: Bell. and merc. should be administered in preference,
after the use of aconitum.
If the inflammation threatens to turn to GANGRENE, the best
medicines will be: Ars. and lach.
Compare also: STOMACACE, and See Sect. 2, Swell-
ING, HARDNESS, INFLAMMATION, REDNESS, &c. of the tongue.
HÆMORRHAGE (BUCCAL).-A selection must be made,
according to the circumstances, and the internal and external
causes of the disease, among: Arn.bell. chin. dros. fer. kreos. ?
led. and lyc.-See also Chap. IX. NASAL HÆMORRHAGE.
INFLAMMATION in the mouth.-See STOMACACE and GLos-
SITIS.
OFFENSIVENESS of the mouth.-Though this inconvenience
is always a symptom of some other disease, it often exists
without any apparent cause, and in that case, a preference
should be given to: Arn. ars. aur. bell. bry, cham. hyos. mere.
n-vom. puls. sep. sil. sulph.
In YOUNG GIRLS, at the critical age: Aur. is often suitable ;
or again: Bell. hyos. puls. and sep.
If the offensive smell manifests itself, only IN THE MORN-
ING: Arn. bell. n-vom. sil, and sulph. may be taken into consi-
deration.
324
CHAP. XII. MOUIH.
If it manifests itself AFTER A MEAL: Cham. n-vom. or
sulph.
If it takes place, in the EVENING or at NIGHT: Puls. or sulph.
For that which arises from ABUSE OF MERCURY, the prin-
cipal medicines are: Aur. carb-v. lach. sulph. or again: Arn.?
bell. hep. &c.
See also, Sect. 2, SMELL from the mouth.
PALATE (Inflammation of the).—The medicines which may be
employed in preference, are, in general: Bar-c. bar-m. bell. calc.
lach. merc, n-vom. or again: Acon. aur. chin. coff. sil.
Inflammation of the VELUM PALATI requires in preference:
Acon. bell. coff. merc. n-vom.
For inflammation of the palate itself, the principal medi-
cines are: Calc. chin. n-vom, or again : Bar-c. bar-m. lach. merc.
or perhaps Aur. bell. sil.
:
If there is ULCERATION or even CARIES of the palate: Aur.
lach. merc. sil. should be preferred, or perhaps again: Bar-c.
calc. &c. (See Chap. I. Diseases of the bones).
If the complaint is caused by ABUSE OF MERCURY: Aur. and
lach. will be often found suitable; or else again: Bell. bar-m.
calc. sil. &c.
See also Chap. XIII. ANGINA, and Compare STOMA-
CACE, and also, Sect. 2, the articles: INFLAMMATION, SWEL-
LING, REDNESS, ULCERATION, &c., of the palate and velum
palati.
PARALYSIS of the tongue.-When this malady exists, in some
measure, alone, and without any other apparent injury, the
medicines, that should be selected, are: Caus. graph. lach. and
perhaps again : Dulc. or Euphr.
When it is caused by APOPLEXY, it will be proper to employ :
Bell. hyos. op. stram. &c. (See Chap. VI. APOPLEXY.)
PTYALISM, or Salivation.-The medicines to be preferred, ac-
cording to the circumstances, are: Bell. calc. canth. colch. dulc.
euphorb. hep. iod, lach. merc. nitr-ac. op. sulph.
If salivation is caused by ABUSE OF MERCURY, they are prin-
cipally: Bell. dulc. hep. iod. lach. nitr-ac. op. and sulph.
See also: STOMACACE, and Compare Sect. 2, SALIVATION,
SALIVA, &c.
RANULA. The medicines, which have been hitherto employed
with most success, are: Calc. merc. and thuy. Perhaps Ambr.
may be also administered.
SPEECH (Defects of).-The best medicines against the different
defects of speech, such as: STAMMERING, HESITATION, &c.
are, in general: Bell. caus. cic.? euphr. graph. lach. merc. natr.
n-vom. sulph. See also Sect. 2, same article, and Compare in
this section PARALYSIS of the tongue.
STAMMERING, IMPEDIMENT, HESITATION, &c. See SPEECH,
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
325
STOMACACE, or inflammation and ulceration of the buccal
cavity. The best medicines against this complaint are,
in general: Merc. and n-vom.
or else: Ars. bor. caps.
carb-v. dulc. natr-m. nitr-ac. staph. sulph. sulph-ac. or again:
Chin. gran.? hep, iod. merc-c. n-mos. ? sep. sil.
Stomacace, caused by ABUSE OF MERCURY requires in pre-
ference: Carb-v. dulc. hep. nitr-ac. staph. sulph. or again: Chin.
iod. natr-m. &c.
If it is produced by ABUSE OF KITCHEN SALT: Carb-v. or
nitr-sp. will, in most cases, effect a cure.
In all cases, a preference may be given to:
ARSENICUM, if there are: Ulceration on the margins of the
tongue, aphtha with violent burning pains; swelling and easy
bleeding of the gums, with loosening of the teeth; great debi-
lity and decay.
BORAX, if there are: Ulceration of the gums; aphtha in the
mouth and on the tongue, which bleed easily; tenacious mucus in
the throat acrid and offensive urine. (It is especially suitable
in children).
:
CAPSICUM, principally in plethoric persons, who are of a
phlegmatic temperament, and who lead a sedentary life; and,
especially, if there are: burning vesicles in the mouth and on
the tongue, swelling of the gums, &c.
CARBO VEGET., if there are: Separation, retraction, exco-
riation, and ulceration of the gums, with profuse bleeding,
loosening of the teeth, heat in the mouth, excessive offensive-
ness of the ulcers, excoriation and difficult movement of the
tongue.
DULCAMARA, if the least cold brings on the complaint, with
swelling of the glands of the neck.
MERCURIUS, if there are: Red, fungous, separated, ulcerated
and easily bleeding gums, with burning pains at night, sensation
of excoriation, especially when touched; loosening of the teeth,
inflammation, excoriation, and ulceration of the tongue and
buccal cavity, or a state in which they are covered with aphtha;
offensive, cadaverous smell of the mouth and of the ulcers
profuse discharge of offensive or else sanguineous saliva, with
ulceration of the orifice of the duct of the salivary glands;
swelling, rigidity and hardness of the tongue, or moisture and
thick coating of white mucus upon it; paleness of the face,
with shivering; loose, brownish evacuations.
NATRUM MUR., against: Swelling and easy bleeding of the
gums, with great sensibility to all hot or cold things, ulcers
and vesicles in the mouth, and on the tongue and gums, with
burning pains, and impediment in the speech; profuse saliva-
tion; torpor and rigidity of the tongue, especially on one side
only.
326
CHAP. XII. MOUTH.
NITRI ACID, if there are: Bleeding, whiteness and swelling
of the gums, with loosening of the teeth; excoriation in the
mouth, with shooting pains; putrid offensiveness of the mouth;
salivation.
Nux-VOм., principally in lean persons, of a lively _tempera-
ment, and who lead a sedentary life, and especially if there are:
Putrid and painful swelling of the gums, with burning or pulsa-
tive pains; offensive ulcers, and painful pimples and vesicles in

Phlegmonous angina requires in preference: Bar-c. bell, hep.
ign. nitr-ac. sulph. or again: Acon. calc. canth. coff. lach. merc.
n-vom. sep. thuy.
For GANGRENED angina: Am-c. ars. or lach. may be admi-
nistered.
MEMBRANOUS angina, or CROUP, requires, in preference:
Acon. hep. spong. or phos. (See Chap. XXI, CROUP.)
With respect to the SEAT of the inflammation, BRONCHIAL,
LARYNGEAL, ESOPHAGITAL, PALATINAL, PAROTIDAL, PHARYN-
GEAL, TONSILLARY, TRACHEAL, and UVULAR angina, See in
this chapter the articles, AMYGDALITIS, ESOPHAGITIS, PHA-
RYNGITIS, &c. and also Chap. VIII, PAROTITIS; and Chap. XXI,
BRONCHITIS, LARYNGITIS, &c.
With reference to the EXTERNAL CAUSES, on which the an-
gina may depend, if the disorder manifests itself in consequence
of EXANTHEMATA, such as SCARLATINA, MEASLES, SMALL-POX,
&c. Ars. bar-c. carb-v. ign. may be preferred.
For angina, caused by ABUSE OF MERCURY, the principal
medicines are: Arg. bell. carb-v. hep. lach. lyc. staph. sulph.
For those which result from a CHILL, the most suitable
medicines are: Bar-c. bell. bry. cham. coff. dulc. ign. lach.
merc. n-vom. puls. sulph.
For those which arise from a syphilitic cause, they are:
Merc. nitr-ac. thuy. or again: Lach.
For those which are produced by a TRAUMATIC cause, such
as the introduction of FOREIGN BODIES, SPLINTERS OF BONE,
&c. into the throat, the medicines most likely to succeed, in the
majority of cases, are: Acon. bell. cham. cic. ign. or merc.
Lastly, with relation to the symptoms, which characterize
the different kinds of angina, a preference may be given, in
the first instance, to:
BELLADONNA, against almost all sorts of angina, and espe-
cially if there are: Pain as if from excoriation, scraping, sensa-
tion of enlargement, dryness, burning, or shootings in the throat,
principally during deglutition; pains, which extend to the ears;
spasmodic contraction and constriction of the throat, with constant
desire to swallow, or difficult, or impracticable deglutition; adypsia,
or violent thirst, with dread of drinking, or inability to drink,
because all drinks escape through the nostrils, bright and often
yellowish redness of the parts affected, without swelling, or
else swelling and inflammatory redness of the velum palati,
uvula, or tonsils, also with suppuration; ulcers, which spread ra-
pidly; accumulation of much slimy, whitish mucus in the throat and

mouth, and on the tongue; salivation; swelling of the muscles, or
also of the glands of the neck and nape of the neck; violent
head-ache in the forehead; tearful and capricious humour.
(Compare Merc. a medicine which is often suitable before or
after Bell.)
CHAMOMILLA, especially in children, or if the disease is
caused by checked perspiration, or if there are; swelling of the
parotides, tonsils, and sub-maxillary glands; shootings, burning
pains, or a sensation as if there were an enlargement in the throat;
deep redness of the parts affected; inability to swallow solid
food, especially when lying down; thirst, with dryness in the
mouth and throat; tickling in the larynx, which provokes a cough;
hoarseness and roughness of the voice; fever towards the evening,
with heat and shivering alternately, redness (especially of one)
of the checks; excessive agitation, tossing, cries and tears.
LACHESIS, in almost all cases, in which bell. or merc. appear
to be indicated, without, however, being sufficient, and espe-
cially if there are: Pain as if from excoriation, burning and
dryness in the throat, which occupy only small, circumscribed
places, or extend to the cars, larynx, tongue, nose, gums, &c.
with dyspnea, danger of suffocation, salivation, and hawking up
of mucus; swelling, redness and excoriation of the amygdala,
or of the velum palati; constant desire to swallow, with spasms
in the throat, or with a sensation as if there were a tumour, or
plug, or lump, which required to be swallowed; obstructed deglu-
tition, with dread of drinking, during which the liquid often
escapes through the nostrils; aggravation of the complaint in the
afternoon and morning, or invariably after sleeping, and also from
the slightest contact, and the most trivial pressure of the neck;
mitigation while eating.
MERCURIUS, often at the commencement of the disease, be-
fore bell. or alternately with that medicine, and especially if
there are: Violent shootings in the throat and amygdalæ, espe-
cially when swallowing, and which extend to the parotides, ears
and sub-maxillary glands; burning in the throat, and pain as if
from excoriation, swelling and great inflammatory redness of the
parts affected; elongation of the uvula; constant desire to
swallow, with sensation as if there were an enlargement
which required to be swallowed; difficult deglutition, es-
pecially of drinks, which escape through the nostrils; unplea-
sant taste in the mouth; suppuration of the amygdala, or
ulcers in the throat, which get round them but slowly; aggra-
vation of the malady at night or in the evening, and also in the
cool air and while speaking; shivering in the evening, or shiver-
ings alternately with heat; perspiration, which affords no
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.

relief; rheumatic, tearing or drawing pains in the head and
nape of the neck.
NUX-VOMICA, often after cham. or in lean, bilious, and choleric
persons, or persons of a sanguine temperament, and especially
if there are scraping and pain, as if from excoriation in the
throat, principally when swallowing and taking an inspiration of
cool air; pain during empty deglutition, as if the pharynx were
contracted, or as if there were a plug in the throat; shootings
into the ears, especially when swallowing; swelling of the
uvula, palate or tonsils, or only a sensation of swelling, with pres-
sive and shooting pains; dry cough, with head-ache, and pains
in the hypochondria when coughing; small ulcers, of a putrid
smell, in the mouth and throat.
PULSATILLA, principally in females, or persons of a mild cha-
racter and phlegmatic temperament, and especially if there are :
Redness, sometimes bluish, of the throat, tonsils, or uvula, with
a sensation as if these parts were swollen, or as if there were an
enlargement in the pharynx; scraping pain, as if from excoria-
tion, and dryness in the throat, without thirst; shootings in the
throat, especially at a period different from that of deglutition ;
shiverings towards the evening, with aggravation of the sore-
throat; accumulation of tenacious mucus, which covers the parts
affected.
Among the other medicines that have been cited, recourse
may be also had to :
ACONITUM, especially if there are: Violent fever, with dry
heat; redness of the cheeks, agitation, tossing, impatience and
exasperation; deep redness of the parts affected, with difficult
and painful deglutition; burning, choking, pricking and con-
traction in the throat; painful sensibility of the throat, when
speaking; violent thirst.
BRYONIA, against: Painful sensibility of the throat when
touched, and on turning the head; difficult and painful deglu-
tition, as if from the presence of a hard body in the throat;
shootings and sensation of excoriation and dryness in the throat,
to such an extent as to hinder speaking; fever, with or with-
out thirst, or shivering and coldness; irascibility and irritability.
CAPSICUM in cases in which either cham. bryon. ign. n-vom.
or puls. appears to be indicated, without, however, being suffi-
cient, and especially if the fever continues with shiverings and
thirst, followed by heat; pressive pains, with spasmodic con-
striction of the throat; excoriation and ulceration in the mouth
and throat; painful cough; continued desire to remain lying
down and to sleep, with dread of the open air and of the cold.
COFFEA, if there are, at the same time, coryza, with irritation
in the throat, which forces to cough; especially in the
VOL. II.
338
CHAP. XIII. MOUTH.
open air, sleeplessness, heat, tearfulness and lamentations; swel-
ling of the velum palati, with elongation of the uvula; exces-
sive tenderness of the parts affected, and pains, which appear
insupportable: short, dry cough, &c.
HEPAR, often after bell. or merc. and especially if there are:
Dryness, sensation of a plug, or shootings in the throat, as if
caused by splinters, especially when swallowing, coughing, breath-
ing and turning the head; painful scraping, which obstructs speech;
obstructed or else impossible deglutition; violent pressure in the
throat, with danger of suffocation; swelling of the amygdala.
IGNATIA, if there are: Red and inflammatory swelling of the
palate or amygdalæ; sensation of a plug in the throat, or shoot-
ings into the ears, especially at a period different from that of
deglutition, with burning and pain, as if from excoriation, during
deglutition; more difficult deglutition of drinks than of solid
food; hardness of the amygdala, or state in which they are
covered with small ulcers. (Compare cham. n-vom. puls. or else:
Bell. merc. hep. sulph.
RHUS, frequently in cases in which bryon. appears to be
indicated without being sufficient, and especially if there are:
Rather plaintive than passionate humour; pressure and shoot-
ings, during deglutition; pulsative pain in the bottom of the gullet;
obstructed deglutition, as if from contraction of the throat; sensa-
tion of swelling in the throat, with pain as if from a bruise, also
when speaking.
SULPHUR, if there are: Swelling of the throat, amygdalæ or
uvula; scraping and dryness; pain as if from excoriation, burn-
ing and shootings in the throat, during deglutition or at other
times; pressure in the throat, as if from an enlargement or con-
traction, and painful sensation of constriction, with difficult
deglutition; swelling of the glands of the neck.
Among the following medicines recourse may be also had, as
occasion requires, to;
Baryta carb. if the complaint returns after every chill, and
if the amygdala are swollen, hard, and disposed to suppurate.
CHINA, against: Swelling of the palate and uvula, with
shootings in the throat, especially during deglutition, or with
disturbed sleep at night, and aggravation of the disorder from
the least current of air.

body, the throat is swollen to such an extent as to render deglu-
tition absolutely impossible, and if bell. is insufficient against
that state.
COCCULUS, if the pain is more deeply seated (in the so-
phagus), with dryness, which extends into the chest, gurgling
and clucking when drinking.

APPETITE AND INFLUENCE OF FOOD.
On the digestive organs and organism in general.
SECT. 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
ANOREXIA or want of appetite.-Though, in the majority of
cases, this state is only a symptom of another disease, the cure
of which is necessary to the restoration of appetite, it may also,
however, constitute a particular affection of the nerves of the
stomach, and exist without any apparent injury or disorder.
The most eligible medicines, in that case, are: Ant. arn. bar-c.
bry. calc. chin. hep. iod. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph.
See also, Sect. 3, Want of APPETITE, REPUGNANCE to
food, &c. and also in this Section: DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
and Chap. XV. GASTROSIS, BULIMY, VORACIOUSNESS, UN-
HEALTHY HUNGER, &c.-The best medicines that can be em-
ployed against affections characterized by this symptom, are,
in general: Bry. calc. chin. hyos. lach. lyc. magn-m. merc. natr-
m. n-vom. petr. sabad. sep. sil. spig. squill. sulph. verat.
If this state manifests itself during CONVALESCENCE, in con-
sequence of VIOLENT acute DISEASES, LOSSES or other DEBILI-
TATING CAUSES, a preference may be given to: Chin. verat. or
perhaps also: Calc. natr-m. sil. sulph.
In PREGNANT WOMEN, the principal medicines are: Magn-
m. natr-m. n-vom. petr. sep.
In subjects attacked by VERMICULOUS AFFECTIONS: Hyos.
merc. sabad. sil. spig.
For the remainder, See Sect. 3, HUNGER, and Compare

SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
347
DYSPEPSIA.-The particular affection, which we are about to
treat of under this name, is in fact, only a kind of GASTROSIS
(or MILD GASTRITIS of the physiological school), which is cha-
racterized by weakness of digestion, with anorexia, or slight or
irregular appetite, disorder in the region of the stomach, risings,
flatulence, ill-humour, somnolency and other inconveniences after
a meal, disposition to indigestion, sourness and mucous obstruc-
tion of the digestive organs. But as such, dyspepsia is suffi-
ciently distinguished from gastric derangement, of which it may
be denominated the first stage, in the same manner as that is
the first stage of gastritis, properly so called. Dyspepsia is
likewise the gastric affection that is most frequently encoun-
tered in medical practice, and this is another circumstance
which entitles it to a separate consideration.
The most efficacious medicines against dyspepsia, are, in
general: Hep. and sulph. and in many cases, even of the most
obstinate kind, one or other of these medicines will succeed
singly, PROVIDED THE DOSES ARE REPEATED ONLY LONG
INTERVALS, and never until a new aggravation of the state has
been indicated.
AT
If neither of these medicines is indicated or advances the
cure, the most efficacious medicines will then be: Arn. bry.
calc. chin. lach. merc. n-vom. puls. rhus. or else: Carb-v. natr.
natr-m. rut. sep. sil. or perhaps again: Am-c. anac. ars. aur.
bar-c. bell. con. dros. fer. graph. hyos. ign. kal. kreos. lyc. n-mos.
petr. phos. staph. verat.
If the weakness of digestion is so great, that almost EVERY
THING WHICH THE PATIENT TAKES, causes sufferings, recourse
may be had to: Carb-v. chin. lach, natr. n-vom. sulph. provided
the totality of symptoms does not require in preference any of
the other medicines cited.
If COLD WATER is particularly insupportable, the best medi-
cines are, according to the circumstances: Ars. or caps. cham.
chin. fer. natr. n-vom. puls. rhus. sulph-ac. or verat.
If the sufferings are caused by BEER: Ars. bell. coloc. fer.
rhus. sep. sulph.
When they are produced by MILK, especially: Bry. calc.
n-vom. sulph. or again: Ars. lach. lyc. natr-m. nitr-ac. sep.
For those who feel inconvenience after partaking of bread :
Bry, caus. merc. natr-m. n-vom. puls. sulph.
If Acids disagree: Ars. natr m. n-vom. phos-ac. sep. sulph.
or again: Fer. dros. lach. staph.
If MEAT cannot be endured: Fer. ruta. sil. sulph.
And if the least FAT brings on the sufferings: Carb-v. natr-
m. puls. sep. sulph.
348
CHAP. XIV. APPETITE.
Dyspepsia in CHILDREN requires in preference: Bar-c. calc.
ipec. lyc. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph. or else: Hyos. or iod.

WATCHING: Arn. carb-v. cocc. n-vom. puls. verat.-And by Ex-
CESSIVE STUDY: Arn. calc, lach. n-vom. puls. sulph. or else cocc.

A species of CHOLERA, caused by the indulgence of VIOLENT
ANGER requires principally: Cham. or else: coloc. if INDIGNA-
TION is mixed with anger.
For the SEQUELE of cholera, the medicines that have been
recommended or administered, are, in general: Acon. bell. bry.
canth. carb-v. chin. hyos. op. phos-ac. rhus. stram. sulph.
Against CEREBRAL affections, in particular: Bell. lach. op.

particular: Phos. sulph.
TYPHOID affections: Bell. bry. carb-v. cocc. hyos. op. phos-ac.
rhus. stram.
With respect to the indications furnished by the symptoms,
a preference may be given to :
ARSENICUM, if the most formidable symptoms make their
appearance at the commencement, and especially when there
are: Violent pains in the stomach, with great anguish and
burning in the epigastrium, as if occasioned by hot coals; raging
and insatiable thirst, which forces to drink often, but little at
a time; continued nausea, diarrhea and violent vomiting of
watery, bilious or slimy, greenish, brownish, or blackish mat-
ter; renewal of the vomiting and diarrhæa, immediately after
drinking anything, however little; dry, black, and chapt lips
and tongue; sleeplessness, with tossing, complaints and lamenta-
tions, great anguish and dread of approaching death; rapid
failure of strength, proceeding to the most complete prostration ;
hippocratic face, hollow cheeks, pointed nose, sunk and dull
eyes; small, weak, intermittent or trembling pulse; tonic spasms
in the fingers and toes; coldness of the skin and clammy perspi-
ration.
CAMPHORA, especially at the commencement of the disease,
and particularly if there is neither thirst, nor vomiting, nor
diarrhea, but, rapid failure of strength, to such an extent as
not to be able to stand, with wandering look and hollow eyes;
blueness and icy coldness of the face and hands, with coldness of
the body; inconsolable anguish, with dread of being suffocated;
the patient half-numbed and insensible utters cries and groans
in a hoarse voice, without making any precise complaint; only
that when questioned he attributes his lamentations to burning
pains in the stomach and throat, with cramps in the calves of the
R 3

CHAP. XV. STOMACH.
legs and other muscular parts; on touching the pit of the
stomach, cries are uttered.—If there is already diarrhea or
vomiting, with thirst, camphora is seldom suitable, and never
if there are at the same time: Coldness and blueness of the ex-
tremities, face, and tongue, with tonic and painful spasms
in the limbs and calves of the legs, dulness of the senses, moans
and yawning, tetanus and trismus.
:
CUPRUM, principally if there are, besides the vomiting and
diarrhea Convulsive movements of the extremities, especially of
the fingers and toes, sometimes with rolling of the eyeballs,
great agitation and coldness in the prominent parts of the face;
pressive pain in the pit of the stomach, aggravated by the
touch; spasmodic colic without vomiting, or else vomiting pre-
ceded by spasmodic constriction of the chest, which obstructs
respiration, or accompanied by strong pressure at the epigas-
trium; deglutition of drinks with a clucking noise along the
pharynx.
IPECACUANHA, principally in slight attacks, with sensation
of softness in the stomach, shiverings commencing at the
stomach or intestines, or coldness in the face and extremities ;
especially if the vomiting predominates, or comes on alternately
with watery diarrhea, accompanied by colic, or clse, if there
is a yellowish diarrhea, without vomiting, but with cramps in
the calves of the legs, fingers and toes: Ipec. is especially indi-
cated when the vomiting or diarrhæa appears at the commence-
ment of the disease, or continues after amelioration of the
general state; it is never suitable when the complaint is at
its height and in all its intensity.
Secale cornut. especially when the vomiting has ceased,
but the evacuations are a long time in resuming their natural
colour, and when every thing indicates that there is no longer
any bile in the intestinal organs, or else, when there are pains
in the extremities; and also, when there are: Loose, brown-
ish, or flock-like and colourless fæces, with rapid exhaustion,
coldness of the extremities, clean tongue or slight coating of
white mucus; vertigo, anguish, cramps in the calves of the
legs, borborygmus and nausea, before evacuating.
VERATRUM, is the principal medicine in almost all cases of cho-
lera with violent evacuations upwards and downwards, coldness of the
body, great weakness and cramps in the calves of the legs; espe-
cially if there are besides : Vomiting by jerks, sudden, profuse,
watery, scentless alvine evacuations, mixed with white flocks ;
paleness of the face, without the slightest tinge of colour;
eyes surrounded by a livid circle, features expressive of exces-
sive anguish, coldness of the breath and of the tongue; great
anguish in the chest, which forces the patient to rush from the

bed, excruciating colic, especially round the navel, as if the
abdomen were being torn to pieces, tenderness of the abdo-
men when touched, drawing and cramps in the fingers, skin on
the palms of the hands shrivelled, no secretion of urine.
to:
Among the other medicines cited, recourse may be also had
BELLADONNA, if there are: Typhoid symptoms, eyes half
open and convulsed, grinding of the teeth and distortion of the
mouth during sleep, or great agitation with desire to run away,
shootings in the side, or burning pains in the abdomen, burn-
ing heat, with redness of the face and thirst for cold drinks,
quick pulse, which is more or less full, without being hard.
CANTHARIS, if the urinary organs are particularly affected,
with violent burning in the hypogastrium, borborygmus, san-
guineous evacuations with tenesmus, heat in the abdomen and
great agitation, with cerebral symptoms.
CARBO VEG. When there is paralysis, with total absence of
pulse, or if, after the cessation of vomiting, diarrhæa and
spasms, there is congestion in the chest and head, with op-
pression at the chest and lethargic sleep, with redness of the
cheeks, which are covered with clammy perspiration.
CHAMOMILLA, especially at the commencement of the di-
sease, or during the precursory period, and principally if there
are: Coating of yellowish mucus on the tongue, colic in the
umbilical region, pressure in the region of the stomach extend-
ing to the heart, with excessive anguish, cramps in the calves
of the legs, watery diarrhea and sour vomiting.
CHINA, against a kind of cholera, with lienteria and vomiting
of food; painful pressure in the abdomen after a very light
meal, with oppression at the chest and eructations which
relieve; anorexia, with sensation of satiety; hippocratic face;
exhaustion, which proceeds even to syncope.
CICUTA, if the diarrhea is only slight, but the vomiting
occurs alternately with violent tonic spasms in the muscles of
the chest, accompanied by convulsions of the eyes; or when
there are: Lethargic sleep, with upturned eyes, dyspnæa, con-
gestion in the head and chest, vomiting or diarrhæa.
COLOCYNTHIS, if there are: Continued vomiting, first of
ingesta, then of greenish matter, with violent colic, no secre-
tion of urine, cramp in the calves of the legs, and frequent,
loose evacuations, which become every time more watery and
colourless.
DULCAMARA, against a kind of cholera, occasioned by cold
drinks, with vomiting of drinks, bilious, greenish or yellow-
ish matter, and mucus; frequent greenish evacuations; pain
in the abdomen, with burning and retraction in the region of
372

the stomach; great weakness; pulse almost extinct; coldness
in the extremities; violent thirst; excessive dulness.
Hyoscyamus, if after the vomiting, diarrhea and coldness
have ceased, there are still typhoid symptoms, with stupor,
wandering look, redness and heat in the face, and when bell.
is insufficient against that state.
LACHESIS, if neither bell. nor hyos. nor op. has been sufficient
against a state of stupor and the typhoid symptoms, which are
the sequela of cholera.
LAUROCERASUS, if there are: Rheumatic pains in the ex-
tremities; dysecoia, intoxication, distortion of the features
and sensation of contraction in the throat, when swallow-
ing.
NUX VOм. if the loose evacuations occur seldom, and when
there is rather frequent desire with scanty, or even ineffectual
evacuations; gastralgia, great debility, anguish in the pit of the
stomach, pressive pain in the sinciput, and coldness rather in-
ternally and than externally.
OPIUM, if neither bell. nor hyos. is sufficient against the
state of stupor and lethargic sleep, which manifests itself when
the primitive symptoms of cholera have disappeared.
PHOSPHORUS, against the diarrhea which prevails during the
continuance of the cholera, or in consequence of that complaint,
especially if it is accompanied by violent thirst, borborygmus,
and great weakness.
PHOSPHORIC ACID, against the diarrhea itself, with disco-
loured face, bewildered head, so great clumminess of the tongue,
that the finger adheres to it, when it touches it, borborygmus,
and whitish green, watery and slimy evacuations, with dimi-
nished secretion of urine.
CONTRACTION of the cardia or œsophagus.-A preference
may be given to: Ars. bry. n-vom. phos. rhus. and sulph.
DYSPEPSIA.-See Chap. XIV.
GASTRALGIA, or pains and spasms in the stomach.-The best
medicines against this disease are in general: Bell. bry, calc.

women, or delicate, sensitive persons, and principally if there
are: Corrosive pressure or spasmodic tension, which forces one
to bend oneself backwards and to hold in the breath, by which
actions the pain is relieved; renewal of the pains during dinner;
or else pain, so violent, that it deprives of consciousness and
causes one to full from weakness; also, decided thirst, with ag-
gravation of the pains after drinking; slow and scanty evacua-
tions; sleeplessness at night, sometimes with sleep during the
day.

ertion; palpitation of the heart with anxiety.
(Nux-vomica is also indicated in most cases of gastralgia, at
the commencement, and two or three doses of it will frequently
be sufficient to effect a radical cure, or at least such an amelio-
ration, that carb-v. will afterwards easily accomplish the rest.
There are, however, also cases in which n-vom. produces only a
momentary mitigation, which is immediately succeeded by
renewed aggravation. In this case, the medicines that ought
to be administered are, according to circumstances: Puls. cham.
or ign. Lastly, if notwithstanding the apparent resemblance
of the symptoms, n-vom. produces no effect at the commence-
ment, cham. or cocc. is often substituted for it, with the
greatest success).

ing or making a false step; spasmodic pains, both when fasting,
and after having eaten, and mostly with nausea, desire to vomit,

GASTRIC derangement.-See Gastroses.
GASTRITIS, or inflammation of the stomach. The affection,
which we here designate under this name, is neither the func-
tional disorder, denominated dyspepsia, nor simple gastric de-
rangement, but only GASTRITIS PROPERLY SO CALLED, and cha-
racterized by: Continued violent pain in the region of the stom-
ach; aggravated by the touch, by every movement of the ab-
dominal muscles, and by ingestion of any substance whatever,
with painful sensibility, distension, heat or pulsation in the
epigastrium; vomiting of every thing that is taken into the stom-
ach; great anguish; coldness of the extremities; excessive weak-
ness, spasms and other consensual nervous accidents.
The best medicines against this inflammation are, in gene-
ral: Acon. ars. bell. bry, hyos. ipec. n-vom, puls. verat. or else:

sequence of indigestion, &c. and if there are frequent vomit-
ings, with a thick coating of white or yellowish mucus on the
tongue.

with pale, hippocratic face, coldness of the extremities, &c.
and when verat. is insufficient against that state.
Belladonna, if cerebral symptoms are united with stupor,
loss of consciousness, or delirium, and if hyos. is insufficient
against that state.

ly if the complaint is caused by gastroses, in consequence
of indigestion, &c. or else if there are violent pains, or if
the complaint is occasioned by a chill from cold drinks, and
if acon. is insufficient.
NUX-VOM. often in consequence of indigestion, or a chill
from cold drinks, especially after Acon. bry. ipec. or ars. if
neither of these medicines is sufficient.

Lastly, with respect to the indications furnished by the
SYMPTOMS, a preference may be given to :
BELLADONNA, if there are: Pinching and drawing, as if
every thing were about to escape downwards, aggravated by
movement and walking; protrusion of the colon like a pad,
ameliorated by pressing upon it and bending double; or else
pain in the hypogastrium, as if the intestines were grasped by
nails; or spasmodic constriction in the abdomen, with burning and
pressure in the sacrum and above the pubis; especially if there
are, at the same time, liquid, puriform fæces, or congestion of
blood in the head, with redness of the face, swelling of the
veins of the head, and pains so violent, that they almost
deprive the patient of reason. (Merc. is sometimes suitable
after bell.)
COLOCYNTHIS, in the majority of colics, and especially if
there are Exceedingly violent pains, which are mostly incisive,
constrictive or spasmodic, with a sensation of clawing and
pinching; or cuttings and shootings, as if from knives; great
tenderness of the abdomen, which feels, as if it were bruised;
distension or a sensation of emptiness in the abdomen; cramps
in the calves of the legs, or shivering and tearing in the legs,
during the pains; excessive inquietude, agitation and tossing,
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
405
caused by the violence of the pain; no evacuations, or diarrhæa
and bilious vomiting, which is renewed immediately after eating,
ever so little; mitigation from coffee.
(In several cases of colic, even the most violent, a cure may
be accomplished by means of coloc. alone, either by repeating
the doses, or by administering some spoons-full of café à l'eau,
every time that an aggravation takes place after a new dose of
coloc. It is indisputable that if the first or second dose of coloc.
produce a mitigation of the symptoms, every repetition of the
dose and the use of black coffee can be only injurious. Caust.
will be frequently found very beneficial against the remaining
sufferings that will not yield to coloc.)
NUX-VOMICA, if there are: Obstinate constipation or hard and
difficult fæces; pressure in the abdomen, as if from a stone, with
borborygmus and sensation of internal heat; pinching, drawing,
contractive or compressive pains; pressure at the pit of the stom-
ach, with distension and tenderness of the abdomen when
touched; tension and fulness, especially in the hypochondria, with
sensation as if the garments were too tight; coldness in the
hands and feet, or else numbness even to loss of consciousness,
during the paroxysm of pain; cuttings and flatus deeply seated
in the abdomen; acute and hard pressure on the vesica and rec·
tum, as if flatus were about to escape with violence, forcing the
patient to bend double; aggravation at every step; mitigation
during repose, and also when sitting and lying; violent pain
in the loins or pressive cephalalgia.
PULSATILLA, if there are: Shooting pains; pulsation in the
pit of the stomach, uneasiness, heaviness and fulness in the
abdomen, with disagreeable tension and distension, great tender-
ness and pain, as if from a bruise, when touched; incarcerated
flatus, with borborygmus, and anxious heat in the abdomen,
or pinching, cutting, and tearing, especially in the epigas-
trium, aggravated by the touch; general heat, with swelling
of the veins in the hands and forehead; tightness of the clothes
round the hypochondria; aggravation of all the sufferings when
sitting or lying, or else in the evening, with shiverings, which
increase proportionably with the pains; mitigation from walking;
pain in the loins as if beaten, when rising from a seat; desire
to vomit; diarrhea; paleness of the face, with livid circle round
the eyes; pressive and tensive cephalalgia.
to :
Among the other medicines cited, recourse may be had

bruised; incarcerated flatus, with anguish, tension, pressure,
and fulness in the pit of the stomach, and hypochondria, or with
a bearing down towards the inguinal ring; livid circle round
the eyes; paleness and redness of the face alternately; appear-
ance of the pains, especially at night, or in the morning at
sun-rise, or after a meal. (Puls. is sometimes suitable after

Besides these medicines: Cann. cocc. hyos. ipec. puls. stram.
and verat. have been also recommended.
ENLARGEMENT of the abdomen.-For enlargement of the ab-
domen in CHILDREN, See CAarreau.
For that in young girls, at the critical age, lach. is often very
beneficial.
For that in aged women, or in those who have had many
children, the principal medicine is sep. or again: Bell. calc.?
chin.? n-vom.? plat.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
409
ENTERALGIA.-See COLIC.
ENTERITIS.-The best medicine, in most cases, is acon. of
which a few doses, administered every two or three hours, will
lower the inflammation to such an extent, that: lach. bell. or
merc. will complete the cure.
In more complicated cases, recourse may be had also, ac-
cording to the circumstances to: Ars. bry, hyos. n-vom. or else
again: Ant. cham. chin. coloc. ipec. nitr-ac. phos. puls. rhus.sec.
squill. or sulph.
For the details, by which a selection should be decided,
Compare the articles: GASTRITIS, GASTROSES, CHOLERA, COLIC,
DIARRHEA, &c. in their respective chapters.
FLATULENCY.-The best medicines are: Chin. n-vom. puls.
sulph. or else: Bell, carb-v. cham. cocc. or again: Agn. colch.
coloc. fer. graph. lyc. natr. natr-m. nitr-ac. n-mos. phos. verat.

If the malady manifests itself in consequence of Flatulent
FOOD, chin. is to be preferred.
After DRINKS: N-vom.
After eating PORK or any other FAT MEAT: Chin. or
puls.
See also: COLIC, and Sect. 3, FLATULENCY.
HELMINTHIASIS or VERMICULOUS AFFECTIONS.-The best

Calc. carb-v. chin. cic. fer. fil. graph. ign. n-mos. sabad. sil.
spig. &c. (See Chap. XVIII. Sect. 2, WORMS).
For TAPE-WORM or TENIA, the treatment may commence in
most cases by administering a single dose of sulph. when the
moon is waning, then a single dose of merc. at the full moon
following; repeating the sulph. eight days after, and so on for
some time.
If these two medicines remain inefficacious, or contribute
nothing to the cure, a preference may be given to : Calc. carb-
v. fil. frag. gran.? graph. sabad. &c. (See Chap. XVII. Sect. 5,
TENIA).
For the sufferings caused by LUMBRICI, the best medicines
are in general: Acon. cin. merc. sulph. or again: Bell. chin. cic.
hyos. n-vom.rhus. sil. spig.
If there are: FEVER WITH COLIC, desire to vomit, hardness
and distension of the abdomen, tenesmus or small slimy eva-

necessity, be followed at the end of some hours by: cin. and
recourse may be afterwards had to merc. if cin. produces no
change in the course of four and twenty hours.
If there are, with the fever and colic: Violent, excessive

nervous excitability, starts and disposition to be frightened,
bell. is to be preferred, or else lach. if bell. is insufficient.
The following medicines may be also administered in the
following manner: Against the FEVER: Chin. cic. sil. spig.-
Against COLIC with CONVULSIONS: cic.-Against COLIC, with
bulimy, diarrhea and coldness: Spig.-And against FEVER in
SCROFULOUS Subjects: Sil.
When the intensity of the disorder has been subdued by one
or other of the preceding medicines, sulph. may be often em-
ployed with great success, both to remove the remaining suf-
ferings and to prevent a return. In most cases it will be suffi-
cient, or even better to administer only a single dose, at inter-
vals of three, four, or five weeks, and if at the end of that time
there still appear symptoms, which excite a suspicion that a
lingering remnant of the disease continues, such as atrophy,
voracious appetite, paleness of the face, &c. the cure will
be frequently completed by: Bar-c. calc. graph. lyc. or
natr-m.
See besides, also, Chap. XVII. Sect. 5, LUMBRICI.
Lastly, for sufferings caused by ASCARIDES, the most
suitable medicines are: Acon. calc. chin. fer. ign. merc.
sulph.
If there is feverish agitation, especially at night, with sleep-
lessness and tossing, acon. is preferable, or else: Ign. if acon.
is insufficient.
In cases, in which these two medicines continue inefficacious,
or in which the complaint constantly returns, especially at the
new or full moon, a dose of sulph. may be administered im-
mediately after each of these periods, either at once, or in a
solution of eight ounces of water, of which the patient should
take a desert spoon-full every day.
If sulphur is also insufficient; Calc. or else: fer. may be ad-
ministered in the same manner; and if an obstinate diarrhea
succeeds the use of fer. recourse may be had to: Chin.
See besides, Chap. XVII. Sect. 3, ASCARIDes.
HEPATITIS and other AFFECTIONS OF THE LIVER.-The best
medicines against diseases of the liver, are in general: Acon.
bell. bry. cham. chin. lach. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph.
ac.

Or else again: Alum, ambr. am-c. verb.? cann. canth. n-
mos.
For ACUTE HEPATITIS, the principal medicines are: Acon.
bell. merc. n-vom. or again Bry. cham. chin. lach. puls.
sulph.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
411
ACONITUM is especially indicated at the commencement of a
cure, and particularly if there are: Violent inflammatory fever,
with shooting pains in the hepatic region; insupportable pains,
with moaning, tossing, anguish and fear of death.
Belladonna, if there are: Pressive pains, which extend to
the chest and shoulders, distension of the pit of the stomach,
tension in the epigastrium, difficult and anxious respiration,
congestion in the head, with clouded sight, vertigo with faint-
ing, burning thirst, anxious tossing and sleeplessness. (It is
often suitable after acon. or alternately with merc. or lach.)
BRYONIA, if there are: Pressive pains, with tension in the
hypochondria, thick, yellowish coating on the tongue, violent
oppression at the chest, with rapid and anxious respiration,
constipation, and aggravation of the pains from move-
ment.
CHAMOMILLA, if there are: Dull, pressive pains, which are
aggravated neither by external pressure, nor by movement, nor
by respiration, with pressure in the stomach, tension in the
hypochondria, oppression at the chest, yellow colour of the
skin; thick yellow coating on the tongue; bitter taste in the
mouth, and paroxysm of anguish.
CHINA, if there are: Aggravation of the complaint, every second
day, with shooting and pressive pains, swelling and hardness
of the hepatic region and epigastrium, pressive cephalalgia,
bitter taste in the mouth and thick yellowish coating on the
tongue.
LACHESIS, frequently in cases in which merc. or bell. appears
to be indicated without being sufficient, or alternately with either
of these medicines, especially in persons addicted to spirituous
liquors.
MERCURIUS, often after bell. if this medicine is insufficient
and especially if there are: Pressive pains, which do not allow
one to lie long on the right side, bitter taste in the mouth, ano-
rexia with thirst, continued shivering, decided yellowness of the
skin and eyes. (Lach. is often suitable after merc.)
NUX-VOM. if the pains are shooting or pulsative, with exces-
sive tenderness of the hepatic region when touched; bitter and
sour taste; desire to vomit or else vomiting; pressure in the
hypochondria and epigastrium, with shortness of breath; thirst,

CHAP. XVI. ABDOMEN.
SULPHUR, often after n-vom. especially when the shooting
pains continue; or else in all cases in which the preceding medi-
cines produce, in a few days, no perceptible amelioration, or
when the amelioration which they have produced makes no
farther progress.
For CHRONIC affections of the liver, the best medicines are:
N-vom. or sulph. or else: Aur. lach. lyc. magn-m. natr. or
again: Alum. amb. calc. chin. sil.
For ENLARGEMENT OF INDURATION of the liver, they are es-
pecially: Ars. calc. chin. n-vom. sulph. or again: Cann.? graph.
lyc. magn-m. merc. n-mos.
Hepatic ABSCESS appears to require in preference: Lach. or
sil. or perhaps again: Bell.? merc.? hep.?
Against BILIARY CALCULUS: Bell." calc. hep. lach. lyc. sil.
sulp.
HERNIA.-The best medicines for the radical cure of hernia,
are: Aur. cocc. magn. n-vom. sil. verat.
Hernia in CHILDREN, caused by their crying, requires espe-
cially Aur. cocc. n-vom. nitr-ac. or verat.
Against INCARCERATED or STRANGULATED hernia, relief will
be afforded in most cases, with sufficient speed, and without
any surgical operation, by: Acon. n-vom. op. sulph. or else by:
Ars. bell. lach. verat.
ACONITUM is especially indicated if there are: Violent inflam-
mation of the parts affected, with burning pain in the abdomen,
as if from hot coals, excessive sensibility to the least touch,
nausea, bitter, bilious vomiting, anguish and cold perspira-
tion.
* In the majority of cases, a decided amelioration will take
place after the second dose, which, in case of necessity may be
administered an hour after the first; but if there is no change
after the third, recourse must be had to sulph. (See SULPH.)
NUX-VOM. if the tumour is less painful and less tender when
touched, the vomitings less violent, but the respiration greatly
obstructed, and especially if the strangulation is caused by a
chill, by being over-heated, by contradiction or being in a
passion, or else by neglect of regimen, &c. (It may, perhaps,
be repeated every two hours.)
OPIUM, if in the space of one or two hours after the second
dose of n-vom. no change takes place, or if there are, from the
commencement, redness of the face, distension and hardness of
the abdomen, putrid eructations, or even vomiting of fæcal
matter. (It may, perhaps, be repeated every quarter of an hour,
till a decided amelioration has taken place).
* If in the preceding case, the vomiting manifests itself with
cold perspiration and coldness of the extremities, verat. should

be preferred, and, if there is no change after the second dose, it
should be succeeded by bell.
SULPHUR, is to be preferred, if the hernia is not reduced in
one hour, after the administration of the second dose of aconit.
or else if the bilious vomitings are changed to acid vomiting.
After sulph. has been administered, it will be well to wait some
hours, and to allow the patient to repose quietly, if he happens
to go to sleep.
* In cases, in which the tumour exhibits symptoms of gan-
grene, lach. if preferable, or else: ars. if lach. is ineffec-
tual.
ICTERUS.—The principal medicine is merc. which frequently
accomplishes a cure alone, provided the patient has not been
exposed previously to an abuse of that medicine. In that case
a preference should be given to chin. which may also be admi-
nistered alternately with merc. when this remedy is insuffi-
cient.
If
In very
obstinate cases, which resist the efficacy of these two
medicines, recourse may be had to: Hep. lach. or sulph. admi-
nistered alternately with merc. according to circumstances.
icterus manifests itself in consequence of a sharp dispute or a fit
of passion: cham. or n-vom. is to be preferred, or else: lach. or
sulph.
With respect to icterus produced by the abuse of certain me-
dicinal substances; recourse may be had, against that caused by
cinchona, to: Merc. or bell. calc. n-vom.-Against that which is
the result of: Mercury, to: Chin. or hep. lach. sulph.—Against
that occasioned by RHUBARB, to: Cham. or merc.
Acon. ars. calc. carb-v. dig. have been also employed; and
perhaps in some particular cases: Amb. cupr. nitr-ac. puls. rhus.
may be administered.-Compare likewise Chap. II. Sect. 2,
YELLOW COLOUR of the skin.
ILEUS, or ILIAC PASSION, CHORDAPSUS, colic of Miserere, &c.
If this disease, characterized by vomiting of fæcal matter and
urine, is caused by SPASMODIC strangulation of the intestines,
the medicines which merit a preference are op. plumb. or per-
haps again : Cocc.? thuy.? n-vom.
If there is, on the contrary, an INFLAMMATORY cause: acon.
sulph. should be preferred; or perhaps again: Lach.? bell.?
merc.?
See also: ENTERITIS and HERNIA.
PERITONITIS.-The best medicines are: Acon. bell. bry. cham.
or else: Coff. coloc. hyos. n-vom. rhus. &c.
Compare for the details, the other analogous abdominal
INFLAMMATIONS, such as: ENTERITIS, METRITIS, PUERPEral
FEVER, &c. in their respective chapters.

SPLENITIS and other AFFECTIONS OF THE SPLEEN.-The best
medicines against diseases of the spleen, are in general: Agn.
arn. bry. caps. chin. ign. n-vom. sulph. or else again: Acon.berb.?
iod.? mez.?
For ACUTE SPLENITIS the principal medicine is: Chin. and
then: Acon. arn, ars. bry. n-vom.
ACONITUM is only indicated to allay the fever, at the com-
mencement, if the violence of the disease requires it, but: Chin.
may be often administered at once. (See CHINA).
ARNICA, if chin. is not quite sufficient and especially if there
are: Pressive, shooting pains, which obstruct respiration, or if
typhoid symptoms manifest themselves with apathy and stupor,
and if the patient is perfectly insensible to the seriousness of
his state.
ARSENICUM, if there is diarrhea, with sanguineous, burn-
ing fæces and great weakness; or else if the disease assumes an
intermittent character, and china is insufficient against that
state.
BRYONIA, if after the use of chin, arn. or n-vom. the consti-
pation continues with shooting pain in the region of the spleen,
at every movement.
CHINA, in most cases, immediately after: acon. or also at
the commencement of the cure, especially if there are : pressive,
shooting pains, or if the disease assumes an intermittent cha-
racter.
NUX-VOM. after chin. or arn. if either of these medicines
has produced an amelioration, but the constipation and pres-
sive gastralgia continue, and the general state remains statio-
nary at the same time.
For ENLARGEMENT and INDURATION of the spleen, great
benefit is often derived from: Agn. ars. caps. chin. ign. sulph.
or again: Iod. ? mez. ?
TABES MESENTERICA.-See Chap. I. ATROPHY of children
and scrofula, and add: Asa.? caust. iod. merc.
TUBERCLES (Abdominal).-The principal medicines are: Calch.
hep. lach. sil. sulph. or again: Iod. kal. merc. ol-jec. may be
found to possess some efficacy.
TYMPANITIS.-The principal medicine is: Chin. but perhaps
in some cases, recourse may be also had to: Carb-v. coloc. Tyc.
n-vom. sulph.?

LIQUORS: Calc. lach. n-vom, op. sulph.
That which manifests itself in consequence of DIARRHEA, or
frequent PURGINGS: N-vom. op. or again: Ant. lach. ruta.
That which takes place in OLD PERSONS, often alternately
with diarrhea: Ant. op. phos. or again: Bry. lach. rhus.?
ruta.

Recourse may be also had to:
BRYONIA, especially in summer, and in persons subject to
rheumatism, or else if the constipation occurs in consequence
of a disordered stomach, with chilly disposition, congestion and
head-ache; irascibility and laconic style of speaking; and ge-
nerally in persons of an irritable, passionate character.
LACHESIS, in many cases of obstinate constipation, with
pressure in the stomach and ineffectual desire to eructate.
MERCURIUS, if the constipation is accompanied by an un-
pleasant taste in the mouth, with soreness of the gums, yet
without loss of appetite. (If, in this case, merc. is insufficient,
recourse should be had to staph.)
NATRUM MUR. in the most obstinate cases, and often also
when every other medicine proves inefficacious; especially if
no desire to evacuate manifests itself and if the intestines appear
to be totally inactive.
NUX VOMICA, not only in hypochondriacal persons and those
who are SUBJECT TO HÆMORRHOIDS, but also if constipation
manifests itself in consequence of too hearty a meal, derange-
ment of the stomach, &c. and especially if there are: Anorexia,
nausea, distension and tension of the abdomen, with pressure
and heaviness; heat, especially in the face; congestion and
head-ache; unfitness for exertion, disturbed sleep, oppression,
ill-humour; sensation as if the anus were closed or contracted,
with frequent and ineffectual desire to evacuate.
OPIUM, also against the sensation as if the anus were closed,
(but without the frequent desire to evacuate), which occurs in

the preceding case, with pulsation and sensation of a weight in
the abdomen, pressive gastralgia, dryness of the mouth, ano-
rexia, congestion and head-ache, with redness of the face, &c.

tient can expel only small pieces, with tenesmus and crawling
in the anus; after the evacuation, shuddering with sensation of
weakness in the abdomen; constrictive pain in the abdomen,
with pressure and pain in the stomach, and ineffectual desire
to evacuate.
PULSATILLA, often in the same cases in which n-vom. is in-
cated, but in persons of a mild, cold and phlegmatic character;
or if, after the stomach has been deranged by fat food, the con-
stipation is accompanied by moroseness, with laconic speech
and shivering.
SEPIA, especially in females, or in persons subject to rheu-
matism, and also in many cases in which n-vom. or sulph. has
been indicated without being sufficient.
SULPHUR, in most cases of habitual constipation, especially
after the use of n-vom. in hypochondriacal persons, or in those
who are subject to hæmorrhoids; and principally if there is
frequent and ineffectual desire to evacuate, with incarcerated
flatus, uneasiness, distension of the abdomen, unfitness for in-
tellectual labour, &c.

SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
437
CAPSICUM, against slimy diarrhea, with tenesmus and burn-

For the rest of the medicines cited, and for more ample infor-
mation in general, See the SYMPTOMS, Sect. 2, 3, 4, and consult
the pathogenesy of the medicines.-Comp. also, in their respec-
tive chapters, the articles: CHOLERA, DYSENTERY, Gastroses,
VOMITING, &c.
DYSENTERY.-The medicines most frequently indicated, are:
Acon. ars. bry, carb-v. cham. chin. coloc. ipec. merc. n-vom. puls.
rhus. sulph. or else again: Bell. caps. colch. dulc. gran.? hep.
kreos.? lach.? nitr-ac. n-mos. staph.
Among these medicines, a preference may be given to:
ACONITUM, if the dysentery manifests itself during warm
weather, with cold nights; with rheumatic pains in the
head, nape of the neck and shoulders, or with violent shiverings,
excessive heat and thirst. (If acon. is insufficient, cham. merc.
n-vom. or puls. will be often suitable afterwards).
ARSENICUM, if the fæces become putrid, also with unnoticed
evacuations, great weakness, offensive urine, offensive smell
from the mouth, state of stupor, with eruption of red or bluish
spots. (If ars. is insufficient, carb-v. is often suitable afterwards;
or else n-vom. if aggravation takes place after the use of ars.)
BRYONIA, frequently after acon. especially during the heat of
summer, and if the dysentery is the result of a chill from drink-
ing anything cold.
CARBO VEGET. if ars. is insufficient against the state of pu-
tridity, and especially when the patient's breath is cold, and he
complains of burning pains. (If the putrid smell of the fæces
does not disappear after the use of carb-v. recourse must be had
to: Chin.)
CHAMOMILLA, often after acon. especially if there is: Vio-
lent heat, with thirst, rheumatic pains in the head, and great
agitation.
438
CHAP. XVII. ANUS AND FECES.
CHINA, if neither ars. nor carb-v. is sufficient against the
state of putridity, or else against the dysentery which manifests
itself in marshy countries, especially if the complaint assumes
an intermittent character.
COLOCYNTHIS, is, after merc. one of the principal medicines
against dysentery, especially if there are: Spasmodic colic,
which forces to bend double; with great agitation, evacuations
of sanguinolent mucus; fulness and pressure in the abdomen,
with distension, as if arising from tympanitis; shudderings,
which commence at the abdomen; white coating on the
tongue.
IPECACUANIA, one of the most efficacious medicines against
the dysentery which manifests itself in autumn, especially after
using acon. or if there are: Violent tenesmus and colic with
evacuation, first of slimy matter, then of sanguinolent mucus.
(If ipec. is insufficient, coloc. will be often found to be indicated
afterwards).
MERCURIUS, will, in many cases, prove a specific, especially
if there is: Before, and still more after the evacuations, violent
tenesmus, as if all the intestines would be forced out by the
effort, which, however, produces only an evacuation of pure blood, or
else of blood mixed with greenish, mashed substances, resem-
bling beat-up eggs; during the evacuations, (cries in children)
violent colic, nausea, eructations, shivering and shuddering, cold
perspiration on the face, great exhaustion and trembling of the
limbs.
NUX-VOMICA, especially if there are: Small, frequent eva-
cuations, with tenesmus and fæces composed of sanguinolent slime,
violent cuttings in the umbilical region; excessive heat and
violent thirst; especially after acon. or bry. against the dysen-
tery which manifests itself during the heat of summer, or again,
if there is a putrid smell from the evacuations, and if ars. only
aggravates that state.
PULSATILLA, especially if the evacuations consist almost en-
tirely of mucus streaked with blood; with clammy taste in the
mouth, white coating on the tongue, desire to vomit, or else
vomiting of mucus, frequent shiverings, especially towards the
evening, dyspnæa and tearfulness.
RHUS, especially if there are at an advanced stage of the
disorder: Unnoticed evacuations at night, without colic or
tenesmus.
SULPHUR, often in the most desperate cases, when none of
the other medicines can subdue the disease, especially if there
are: Dyspnæa; evacuation of mucus streaked with blood; ex-
ceedingly frequent want to evacuate; violent tenesmus, especially
at night; or else in persons subject to hæmorrhoids.

ness, when touched.
NUX-VOMIC. against blind and open hæmorrhoids, and also
against anomalies of this affection, especially in persons who

AFFECTIONS OF THE URINARY ORGANS.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
BLENNORRHÆA of the VESICA.-See CATARRH of the
Vesica.
BLENNORRHEA of the URETHRA.-See GONORRHÆA.
CALCULUS and GRAVEL.-The medicines that have been found
most efficacious in these affections, either relieving, or curing
them by the expulsion of a great quantity of gravel with the
urine, are: Calc. cann. n-vom. petr. phos. uva. Perhaps in
some cases, recourse may be also had to: Canth. nitr-ac. n-mos.
zinc.
The medicines that have been most successfully employed
against CALCULUS in VESICA or the Stone, are especially: Cann.
sass. and uva.
For RENAL calculus: Lyc. and sass. have been administered
with the greatest success.
CATARRH of the vesica.-The best medicines are, according to
circumstances: Dulc. puls. sulph. or again: Ant. calc. con. kal.
n-vom. phos.-See also CYSTITIS and DYSURIA.
CONTRACTION of the urethra.-Against organic contractions,
caused by callosities, a preference may be given to: Clem. dig.
dulc. petr. sulph. or else: Puls.
CYSTITIS or inflammation of the vesica.-The medicines,
among which an efficacious remedy for this disease may be
most frequently found, are: Acon. camph. cann. canth. dig. n-
vom. puls. or again: Calc. graph. hyos. kal. lyc. mez. sep.
sulph.
ACONITUM is especially indicated if there are: Violent fever
with thirst, frequent and urgent desire to urinate, with no
emission, or with emission of only a few drops of deep-coloured
red and turbid, or else sanguinolent urine; painful tenderness of
the vesical region, especially when touched, with aggravation of
the pains when urinating.
CAMPHORA, if the complaint results from ABUSE or Cantha-
RIDES, either in the form of a vesicatorium, or in any other
manner; or else, if there is complete retention of urine, or
slow emission of urine in a slender stream, with burning in
the urethra and vesica.
456
CHAP. XVIII. URINARY ORGANS.
CANNABIS, frequently after acon. especially if there is com-
plete retention of urine; or else, if the desire to urinate mani-
fests itself especially at night, with burning pains, when
urinating; or emission, drop by drop, of sanguinolent urine.
CANTHARIS, if there are: Violent, but ineffectual desire to
urinate, or with emission of only some drops of saturated
urine; shooting and burning pains in the vesical region, espe-
cially before and after the emission of urine; or else, incisive
pains from the loins to the vesica; distension of the abdomen,
which is tender when touched, especially in the region of the
vesica.
DIGITALIS, when the neck of the vesica is principally af-
fected, and when there is retention of urine, with constrictive
pain in the vesica, or frequent or painful desire to urinate, with
emission of only a few drops of deep-coloured and turbid
urine.
DULCAMARA, especially in chronic affections of the vesica, if
there are continued desire to urinate, with unpleasant sensa-
tion of a flow towards the vesical region and urethra; emission,
drop by drop, of urine which deposits a slimy sediment, or which
is mixed with sanguinolent corpuscula. (Kal. or phos. is some-
times suitable after: dulc.)
NUX-VOM. if there is: frequent desire to urinate, with vio-
lent pains, during and after a scanty emission of urine, which
is sometimes also discharged drop by drop; burning pain in
the urethra and vesica, or else in the loins; contractive pain in
the urethra after urinating, especially if the patient has in-
dulged too freely in spirituous liquors, or if the disease is joined
with hæmorrhoidal affections.
PULSATILLA, if the desire to urinate is accomplished by pres-
sive, burning, and incisive pains in the region of the vesica ;
with heat and redness of that part, and often with complete
retention of urine, or scanty and painful emission of excessively
slimy urine, or emission of sanguinolent urine, with purulent
sediment.
SULPHUR, in many most obstinate cases, or when none of
the preceding medicines is quite sufficient, and especially if the
urine is mixed with mucus or blood, with burning in the urethra
when urinating. (Calc. is often suitable after sulph. especially if
the complaint is caused by the suppression of hæmorrhoids;
and if calc. is insufficient against the burning pains, ars. or
carb-v. may be administered.)
For the remainder of the medicines cited, see their PATHO-
GENESY, and the SYMPTOMS, Sect. 2, 3, 4, 5.—Compare also
DYSURIA, HEMATURIA, ISCHURIA, and NEPHRITIS.
DIABETES.-Carb-v. led. natr-m. phos-ac. have been princi-

pally recommended; but in the case of the last-named medicine
alone, there are four authenticated instances of its having
accomplished the cure of a kind of dysuria, which is charac-
terized by milky urine, such as is sometimes seen alternately
with watery and colourless urine in diabetes mellitus.
In other cases, perhaps, recourse may be had also to: Bar-m.
con. magn. meph. and especially; Merc. and sulph.
DYSURIA, STRANGURY, &c.-The best medicines against these
irritations of the urinary organs are, in general: Acon. bell.
camph. cann. cunth. coloc. dulc. hep. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph.
or again : Arn. ars. aur. berb? calc. con. dig. hyos. kal. n-mos.
phos. sass. staph.
If these sufferings are the result of a CHILL, a preference
may be given to: Acon. bel. dulc. or again to: Merc. n-vom.
puls. After a chill in the water especially: Puls. sass. or
else: Calc. or sulph.
After the abuse of SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS: N-vom. or else:

CHAP. XVIII. URINARY ORGANS.
GONORRHOEA.-The principal medicine in the inflammatory
period is Cann. of which a dose of one drop (teinture mère),
should be administered morning and evening, or else from 3 to
6 globules of the 3rd., 6th., or 9th., attenuation, should be
dissolved in 8 ounces of water, and a spoon-full of this solu-
tion should be taken morning and evening.
In the majority of cases, a perceptible diminution of the in-
flammatory symptoms will be obtained by this treatment at the
end of a few days, without having recourse to any other medi-
cines, especially if the patient keeps himself perfectly quiet,
complete rest being the indispensable condition of a speedy
cure.
When the inflammatory symptoms have disappeared, the
cure will frequently be completed by merc. (3rd trituration) or
by sulph. or else by these two medicines administered alter-
nately. Merc. is especially indicated if the running is greenish
and puriform, while sulph. is better suited to a serous, whitish
discharge.
There are, however, also cases in which it will be necessary
to have recourse to other medicines, such as canth. if the in-
flammation is violent, with Ischuria, priapismus, painful
erections, &c. and when cannab. is insufficient against that
state; or else petros. if the strangury which sometimes succeeds
will neither yield to cann. nor to merc. nor to sulph.
For SECONDARY gonorrhoea, especially when the previous
treatment has consisted in large doses of balsam of copaiba, or
of cubeba, the most suitable medicines are: Sulph. or merc. or
else: Caps. fer. nitr-ac. natr-m. n-vom. sep. thuy.-Caps. is
especially indicated if the running is whitish and thick, like
cream, with scalding when urinating; and if caps. is insuffi-
cient, the cure will be often completed by fer. or n-vom.
If there are, at the same time, CONDYLOMATA in the genital
organs, Nitr-ac. thuy. or cinn. must be preferred; though
merc. and sulph. administered alternately, frequently remove
both the gonorrhoea and the condylomata.
When there is a complication of GONORRHOEA and CHANCRES,
recourse must be had to merc. immediately, whether the go-
norrhoea be primitive or secondary.
Besides the medicines cited: Agn. con. cop. cub. dulc. hep.
led. lyc. merc-c. mez. petr. sil. have also been recommended.
With respect to the affections produced by SUPPRESSING the
discharge, such as articular RHEUMATISM, ORCHITIS, OPTHAL-
MIA, &c. See these affections in their respective chapters.
HÆMATURIA.-The medicines most frequently indicated are:
Arn. ars. cann, canth. chin. ipec. lyc. merc. mez. mill. puls. or
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
459
again: Calc. con. sulph. (Compare also CYSTITIS and DYSURIA,
and likewise Sect. 3, DISCHARGE of blood from the urethra.
HÆMORRHOIDES vesicæ.-The most eligible medicines are :
N-vom. puls. sulph. or again: Acon. ars. calc. carb-v. lach. merc.
Compare also Dysuria.
ISCHURIA.-Against SPASMODIC retention of urine, a prefe-
rence may be given to : N-vom. op. puls. or perhaps again to:
Aur. canth. con. hyos. lach. rhus. verat. (Compare DYSURIA, and
also Sect. 5, SPASMS and TENESMUS of the vesica).
Against INFLAMMATORY ischuria, principally: Acon. cann.
canth. n-vom. puls. &c. (Compare CYSTITIS and DYSURIA).
Against PARALYTIC ischuria: Ars. dulc. hyos. &c. (Compare
Sect. 5, PARALYSIS of the vesica).
LITHIASIS.-See CALCULUS.
NEPHRITIS and NEPHRALGIA.-The medicines that have
been hitherto employed with most success are: Bell.cann. canth.
n-vom. puls. and perhaps: Alum. berb. colch, hep. lyc. sass. may
be also used.
BELLADONNA is especially indicated if there are shooting
pains in the kidneys, extending along the urethra into the
vesica, with periodical aggravation, great anguish and colic.
(If bell. is insufficient, hep. will be often suitable).
CANNABIS, if there is a drawing pain from the kidneys to
the pubis, with great anxiety and uneasiness.
CANTHARIS, if the pains are shooting, tearing and incisive,
with painful emission of a few drops of water only, or complete
ischuria; or else if the urine is mixed with blood.
NUX-VOм. if the complaint is occasioned by the suppression
of hæmorrhoids, or by abdominal congestion, with tension,
distension and pressure in the region of the kidneys.
PULSATILLA, if the disease manifests itself with amenorrhæa,
or too scanty catamenia in delicate persons, of a mild and phleg-
matic temperament; or else if there is sanguinolent urine with
purulent sediment.
ISCHURIA.
Compare also: CYSTITIS, DYSURIA, HÆMATUria, and
PARALYSIS of the vesica.-See Sect. 5.
POLYPUS of the vesica.-There is on record only one instance
of this complaint being cured by homoeopathy; and calc. was
the medicine administered in that case. Perhaps staph. may
also be found useful sometimes.
RETENTION of urine.-Compare Sect. 5, same word, and See
ISCHURIA.

AFFECTIONS OF THE GENITAL ORGANS.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
BALANITIS.—-See Sect. 2, INFLAMMATION of the gland, and
Compare BALANORRHOEA, SYPHILIS, GONORRHOEA, &c.
BALANNORRHOEA, or PSEUDO-GONORRHEA.-If this affection
is of a syphilitic or sycosic nature, the medicines which merit a
preference, are according to circumstances: Merc. nitr-ac. or
thuy.
In all other cases, the following will be found most effica-
cious: N-vom. sep. sulph. or again: Cinn. merc. mez. nitr-ac.
thuy-Compare also Sect. 2, COPIOUS SECRETION of smegma.
CHANCRES.-See Chap. II, SYPHILIS.
CONDYLOMATA.-See Chap. II, Sycosis.
ERYSIPELAS in the scrotum.-See ORCHITIS.
GONORRHOEA. See Chap. XVIII.
RHOEA.-See BALANITIS.
PSEUDO-GONOR-
HÆMATOCELE.-If the malady is the result of a CONTUSION,
a Blow, or any other mechanical injury, arn. is to be preferred.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
471
In some cases, however, recourse may be had also to: Puls. or
zinc. or else again to: N-vom. rhus. sulph.-Compare OR-
CHITIS.
HERNIA SCROTALIS.-The medicines that have been hi-
therto employed with most success are: Magn-m. and n-vom.
HERPES in the genital organs.-See PRURIGO and HERPES.
HERPES PREPUTIALIS.-The best medicines are, according
to Schroen: Aur. hep. nitr. phos-ac.
HYDROCELE.-The medicines that have been hitherto employed
with most success, are: Graph. puls. sil. rhod. sulph.
For hydrocele in SCROFULOUS persons: Sil. has been par-
ticularly recommended.
See also Sect. 2, Dropsical SwElling.
IMPOTENCE. The medicines that have hitherto appeared
most efficacious, are: Bar-c. calc. cann. con. lyc. mosch. mur-
ac. natr-m. sulph.-Perhaps in some cases also, recourse may
be had to: Chin. graph. lach. n-mos. mgs-aus.—See also Sect. 3,
IMPOTENCE, ERECTIONS, EJACULATION, &c.
LASCIVIOUSNESS and increase of sexual desire.-An un-
healthy increase of sexual desire frequently finds a remedy
among Canth. chin. graph. lyc. natr-m. n-vom. phos. puls. sil.
sulph. verat. zinc. or again among: Carb-v. hyos. kal. lach.
mosch. natr. op. plat. plumb. rhus. ruta. staph.
If there is, with this increased excitement, an excessive flow
of lascivious ideas, a preference should be given to: Canth. chin.
graph. lach. mosch. op. staph. verat.
If there are frequent erections: Canth. natr. natr-m. n-vom.
phos. puls. rhus.
MASTURBATION.-The principal medicine to obliterate an
inclination to this vice is: Sulph. administered in a single dose
for several weeks, and then followed by calc.-In some parti-
cular cases, however, recourse may be also had to: Chin. cocc.
mẹrc. natr-m. phos. or perhaps again: Ant. carb-v. plat. puls.
The bad effects of this most odious and unnatural propensity
require in most cases: Chin. n-vom. phos-ac. or staph. espe-
cially if these effects are speedily manifested in the form of
acute diseases, or else if they are rather the result of early ex-
haustion from excess, than of long indulgence.
But if these remedies are insufficient, or if the effects exhibit
themselves in a slow and chronic form, the most suitable me-
dicines are: N-vom. sulph. calc. administered successively in
single doses and at long intervals.
Besides these medicines, recourse may be had also, in some
cases to: Cocc. merc. phos. or again to: Ant. carb-v. plat.
puls.
ORCHITIS. The best medicines are in general: Arn. aur. clem.
472
CHAP. XIX. GENITAL ORGANS.
nitr-ac. puls. or else again: Ars. con. lyc. merc. natr. n-vom.
spong. staph. zinc.
For orchitis, when caused by a CONTUSION, they are prin-
cipally: Arn. puls. or again: Con.? zinc.?
In consequence of suppressed GONORRHOEA: Puls. or again :
Aur. clem. merc. nitr-ac.
In consequence of a metastasis of PAROTITIS: Merc. puls, or
n-vom.
ERYSIPELATOus inflammation of the scrotum, such as some-
times attacks CHIMNEY-SWEEPERS, appears to require in prefe-
rence: Ars. or merc.
Chronic induration of the testes often finds a remedy among :
Agn. aur. clem. graph. lyc. rhod. sulph.
PHIMOSIS, PARAPHIMOSIS and inflammation of the prepuce.
If this inconvenience arises from a syphilitic cause, the principal
medicine is merc. or else: Nitr-ac. or thuy.
In other cases, recourse may be had to:
ARNICA, if the inflammation is produced by friction or any
other mechanical cause. If, in this case, the inflammation is
violent: Arn. should be preceded by a dose of acon; and if
arnica is afterwards insufficient, recourse must be had to:
Rhus.
If the complaint is caused by UNCLEANLINESS: Acon. or
merc. will, in most cases, be found sufficiently efficacious.
When it results from contact with POISONOUS plants, the
juice of which has been communicated by the hand to the
parts: Acon. bell. or bry.
If there is SUPPURATION: Merc. or caps. or hep. and if IN-
DURATION remains after it: Lach.
When GANGRENE is to be dreaded: Ars. or lach.
In LITTLE CHILDREN: Acon. or merc. or else if these two
medicines are insufficient: Calc.
POLLUTIONS.-See SPERMATORRHEA.
PRIAPISMUS.-The most eligible medicines appear to be:
Canth. coloc. graph. natr. natr-m. n-vom. phos. plat. puls. rhus.
sil.-See also Sect. 3, ERECTIONS.
PROSTATITIS.-Puls. and thuy. have been hitherto employed
with most success.
PRURIGO.-PRURIGO SCROTALIS requires in preference: Dulc.
nitr-ac. rhod. sulph. or again: Ambr. cocc. petr. thuy.
SARCOCELE.-If this disease is not too far advanced to be cured
by resolution, a remedy will be generally found for it among:
Agn. aur. clem. graph. lyc. rhod. sulph.
SATYRIASIS.-Canth. appears to be the most suitable medicine.
-See also LASCIVIOUSNESS, and Sect. 3, Sexual DESIRE.
SPERMATORRHOEA and POLLUTIONS.-For spermatorrhoea,
SECT. 2, ORGANS.
478
properly so called, or emission of semen without erection,
there is no medicine that has as yet received the sanction of
experience. But, perhaps, recourse may be had to: Canth.
graph. phos-ac. puls. sel. sep. sulph. or again to: Bell. calad.
con. mosch. n-vom. sabad.?
For a flow of PROSTATIC fluid, a remedy will be mostly
found among Calc. hep. phos-ac. sep. sil. sulph. (See also
Sect. 3, FLOW of prostatic fluid).
Nocturnal pollutions are often speedily checked by: Carb-v.
caus. chin. con. kal. lyc. nitr-ac. petr. phos. phos-ac. puls. sep.
sulph. For those which are the result of SEXUAL EXCESS, &c.
&c. the principal medicines are: Chin. phos. phos-ac. puls, sep.
sulph. (See also Sect. 3, POLLUTIONS).
SYCOSIS.-See Chap. I.

ACCOUCHEMENT.-Lying-in, Labour. The best medicines to
mitigate labour-pains, are, in general: Cham. coff. n-vom. n-
mus. op. puls. sec. or again: Acon. bell. calc.
For FRUITLESS pains, or SPASMODIC pains, the most suita-
ble medicines are: Coff. n-vom. or again: Bell. cham. n-vom.
puls.
COFFEA is especially suitable, if the pains are so excessively
violent as to drive to despair; and if, in this case, coff. is
insufficient, acon. will frequently be found of great benefit.
NUX-VOM. is indicated, if pains manifest themselves, with-
out the labour actually taking place, and especially if these
pains are accompanied by a continued desire to evacuate or
urinate.
If, in this case, n-vom. is insufficient, a preference should
be given to cham. or hell. or else: n-mos. or puls.
For the ABSENCE of labour-pains, the best medicines are :
Op. puls. sec. Opium is especially suitable, if in vigorous and
plethoric women, the pains have been suddenly suspended, either
by a fright or any other injurious influence, with cerebral con-
gestion, redness and bloatedness of the face, and also a lethar-
gic state.
PULSATILLA, if in women of a good constitution, the pains
exhibit themselves slowly, and especially if there are spasmodic
pains, or else if the absence of pain arises from inactivity of the
uterus rather than from general debility.
SECALE is indispensable if the absence of pain manifests
itself in persons of a weak and cachetic constitution, or in
women who are exhausted by excessive loss of blood, whether
there are at the same time spasmodic pains, or any other sort
of pain. But, however, beneficial this medicine may be in
this particular case, its efficacy is doubtful in most others; and
may bring on the most grievous consequences if erroneously
employed.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.

If after expulsion of the fœtus, the contractions preparatory
to that of the placenta take place slowly, with ADHERENCE OF
THE PLACENTA, puls. and sec. administered with the precau-
tion enforced above, are sufficient in most cases, to effect a
safe and speedy termination of the labour.-If puls. though in-
dicated, proves insufficient, or if there is excessive congestion
in the head, with red face, sparkling eyes, great dryness of the
skin and of the vagina, great anguish and inquietude, bell. is
to be preferred.
When the after-pains are ToO ACUTE, or TOO LONG CONTI-
NUED, the best medicines are: Arn. cham. coff. or again: Calc.
n-vom. puls.
Furthermore, for the CONVULSIONS or spasms, which some-
times occur during the confinement: Hyos. ign. or again: Bell.
cham. cic. will be found to be most suitable.
Against INJURY OF THE ORGANS in consequence of a difficult
labour: Arn.
Against the HEMORRHAGE which succeeds: Croc. plat. or
again Bell. cham. fer. sabin.
:
See also: LYING-IN.
AGALACTIA or WANT OF MILK.-See LACTATION.
AMENORRHOEA, AMENIA, MENOCHESIA, SUPPRESSION of the
catamenia, and sufferings caused by these disorders.-The best
medicines against the total absence of catamenia, or against
too scanty a discharge are, in general: Puls. sep. sulph. or
else: Acon. ars. bry. calc. caus. chin. cocc. con. cupr. fer. graph.
iod. kal. lyc. merc. natr-m. n-mos. op. sab. verat. or else again :
Bell. cham. plat. rhod. staph. stram. valer. zinc.
For AMENIA in young girls, they are especially: Puls. sulph.
or else: Caus. cocc. graph. kal. natr-m. petr. sep. verat.
For the SUPPRESSION of catamenia in consequence of a
CHILL: N-mos. puls. or again: Bell.? dulc. sep. sulph.-In con-
sequence of a FRIGHT OF SUDDEN EMOTION: Acon. lyc. or again:
Coff. op. verat.
TOO
If the catamenia are not entirely suppressed, but are only
FEEBLE (MENOCHESIA), the following medicines will be
often found suitable: Calc. caus. con. graph. kal. lyc. magn.
natr-m. phos. puls. sil. sulph. verat. zinc.
Besides if these affections manifest themselves in PLETHORIC
persons: Acon. bell. bry. n-vom. op. plat. sabin. sulph.
In WEAK, exhausted, or cachetic persons: Ars. chin. con.
graph. iod. natr-m. puls. sep. sulph.
With regard to the affections, which manifest themselves in
consequence of these disorders, or to the accessory SYMPTOMS
which accompany them, a preference may be given to :
ACONITUM, if there are: Frequent congestion in the head or

Acon. bell. bry. cham. coff. coloc. n-vom. rhus. or again : Arn.
ars. hyos. ipec. merc. plat. puls. sec. stram. verat.
Among these medicines, a preference may be given to :

short, oppressed and moaning respiration; distension of the
abdomen, with great tenderness when touched and periodical
cuttings in the entire of the abdominal region; scanty, sangui-
nolent, and offensive lochia. (Bell. or bry. is often suitable
after acon.)
BELLADONNA, if there is: Flatulent distension of the ab-
domen, with shooting and digging pains, or violent spasmodic
colic, as if part of the intestines were seized by the nails, or else
painful pressure on the genital organs, as if every thing would
protrude through that passage; excessive tenderness of the abdo-

stipation or loose, slimy evacuations. (If bell. is insufficient,
hyos. may be substituted for it, with strong probability of suc-

BRYONIA, if the abdomen is distended and excessively tender
when touched, and on the slightest movement either of the
whole body, or only of the abdominal muscles, with constipa-
tion; shooting pains in the abdomen, aggravated by pressure;
violent fever, with burning heat over the whole body, and

metastasis of the milk on the abdominal organs, and whitish
diarrhea; too profuse lochia; distension of the abdomen and
excessive tenderness when touched; colic like labour-pains ;
universal heat, with red face, violent thirst, aggravation and
afterwards perspiration at night; great agitation, impatience and

sation of heaviness and burning in the genital organs and abdo-
men; or else if they are too profuse, with violent pain in the
loins, dysuria and burning when urinating; constipation; nau-
sea, desire to vomit, or else vomiting; redness of the face; rheu-
matic or spasmodic pains in the thighs and legs, with numbness.
of these parts; bewilderment of the head, or pressive or pulsa-
tive cephalalgia with vertigo, cloudiness of the eyes, tinkling in
the ears and syncope.
RHUS is almost indispensable, when the nervous system is
affected from the first, when the slightest contradiction aggra-
vates the symptoms, and when the white lochia becomes sangui-
nolent, with clots of blood.
HYDATID.-See UTERus.
HYSTERIA.—The best medicines against hysterical affections
are, in general: Aur. bell. calc. caus. cic. cocc. con. grat.ign.
lach. mosch. n-mos. n-vom. phos. plat. puls. sep. sil. stram.
sulph. verat. or again : Anac. ars. asa. bry. cham. chin. iod. natr-
m. nitr-ac. stann. staph. stram. valer. viol-od.
For the details, See and Compare, in their respective
chapters, the different affections, such as CEPHALALGIA, COLIC,
FAINTING, &c. (HYSTERICAL).
LACTATION.-The best medicines against a DEFICIENCY OF
MILK in lying-in females, are, in general: Calc. caus. puls. or
rhus. especially when the agalactia arises from want of vital
energy, whether in the mammæ only, or in the whole constitu-
tion.
But if, on the contrary, the secretion of milk is hindered by
too much vitality in the breasts, with tension, redness and
pulsation in the parts, and when, at the same time, the milk-
fever is violent, the medicines indicated, in most instances,
are: Acon. bry. cham. or else: bell. or merc.
Besides these medicines: Agn. chin. cocc. iod. n-mos. sep.
sulph. zinc. have been recommended against agalactia.
If it should be necessary to have recourse to art, MILK-
FEVER requires principally: Acon. or coff. administered alter-
nately.
If these two medicines are insufficient: bell. or bry. or rhus.
is to be preferred.
Arn. also, may be often suitable, especially if the geni-
tal organs are much irritated in consequence of a difficult
labour.
With respect to SUPPRESSION of the milk, if it is caused
by a violent EMOTION, the best medicines are: Bry. cham.
coff.
If caused by a chill: Bell. cham. dulc. puls. or again: Acon.
merc. sulph.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
493
If there is a METASTASIS on the abdominal organs: Bell. bry.
puls. rhus.
The CHRONIC EFFECTS of a suppression of milk require in
preference Rhus. or perhaps again: Calc. dulc. lach.? merc.
puls. sulph.
If the milk is BAD, too clear, or repugnant to the child, it
will frequently be sufficient to administer to the mother: Cin.
merc. or sil.-In some cases perhaps : Bor. or lach. will be
found to be also suitable, especially if the milk curdles
speedily.
SILICEA is particularly suitable if the infant vomits after
sucking.
Lastly, with regard to WEANING, puls. is the best medicine
to stop the secretion of milk, or to avert the sufferings, which
sometimes result from it. Often, however, Bell. bry. calc. will
be also found very efficacious.
Against a FLOW of milk, at a time different from that
of lactation, the best medicine is: Calc. especially if the
mammæ are constantly loaded with milk. Perhaps too:
Bell. bor. bry. or rhus. may sometimes be found to be suit-
able.
See also: MAMMA.
LEUCORRHŒA.-The most powerful medicines are: Calc. puls.
sep. sulph. or again: Acon. agn. alum. am-c. ars. bov, cann. carb-
v. caus. chin. cocc. con. iod. magn, magn-m. mez. nutr. n-vom.
petr. sabin. stann.

Sect. 3. LEUCORRHEA, and Compare AMENORRHOEA andƊYME-
NORRHEA.
LOCHIA.-See LYING-IN.
LYING-IN.—The medicines, most frequently indicated against
the different sufferings and affections of LYING-IN WOMEN are,

nuance: Arn. cham. coff. or again: Calc. n-vom. puls. (See Ac-
COUCHEMENT).
For MILK-FEVER.-Acon. coff. or again: Arn. bell. bry.
rhus. For DEFICIENCY OF MILK: Calc. caust. puls. or again :
Acon. bell. bry, cham. &c.—For SUPPRESSION of milk: Acon.
bell. bry, calc. cham. coff. merc. puls. rhus. sulph.-For FLow of
milk and sufferings caused by WEANING: Bell. bry. calc. puls.
See LACTATION.
For EXCORIATION of the mammæ: Arn. sulph. or again :
Calc. cham. ign. puls.--For INFLAMMATION or ÚLCERATION of
the mamma: Bell. bry. merc. phos. sil. sulph. (Compare MAM-
MÆ).
494
CHAP. XX. AFFECTIONS OF WOMEN.
For SUPPRESSION OF THE LOCHIA: Coloc. hyos. n-vom. plat.
sec. verat. zinc.--For Lochia, which is TOO PROFUSE or of too
LONG DURATION: Bry. calc. croc. hep. plat. puls. rhus. sec.
(Compare Sect. 3, same word).
For WHITE SWELLING: Arn. bell. rhus. or again: Acon. ars.
calc. iod. lach. n-vom. puls. sil. sulph.

For SLEEPLESSNESS: Coff.
For COLIC: Bry. cham. or again: Arn. bell. hyos. lach. n-
vom. puls. sep. verat. (See Chap. XVI. COLIC).
For DIARRHEA : Ant. dulc. hyos. rhab. (Compare Chap. XVII.
DIARRHEA).
For CONSTIPATION: Bry. n-vom. op. or plat. (Compare Chap.
XVII. CONSTIPATION).
For FALLING OFF OF THE HAIR: Calc. lyc. natr-m. sulph.
(Compare Chap. VI. ALOPECIA).
MAMME and PAPILLE.-The best medicines against EX-
CORIATION of the nipples are: Arn. sulph. or again: Calc. cham.
ign. puls.
CHAMOMILLA is suitable, especially if the nipples are highly
inflamed; or also if they are ulcerated, provided the patient has
not been previously subjected to an abuse of this medicine.
In the latter case, ign. or puls. will be preferable, or perhaps
again: Merc. or sil.
In all other cases of simple excoriation, arn. should be em-
ployed in the first place; and if that medicine is insufficient, it
will be necessary to have recourse to sulph. or calc.
Besides these medicines: Caus. graph. lyc. merc. n-vom. sẹp,
sil. may be also administered.
For INFLAMMATION OF THE MAMMA, the most efficacious
medicines are: Bell. bry. hep. merc. phos. sil. sulph. (Compare
Sect. 4).
BELLADONNA is especially indicated if the breasts are swollen
and hard, with shooting or tearing pains, and erysipelatous
redness, which emanates from a central point and spreads in
the form of radii. (This medicine must often be administered
alternately with bry.)
BRYONIA, when the breasts are hard, rigid, and too full of

milk, with tensive or shooting pains in the tumour, and burn-
ing heat externally; especially if these symptoms are joined
with feverish movements, with heat, excitability of the vas-
cular system, &c. (If bry. is insufficient, recourse must be
had to bell.)
HEPAR, if notwithstanding the administration of Bell. bry.
merc. suppuration is beginning to establish itself.
MERCURIUS, when neither bell. nor bry. is sufficient against
erysipelatous inflammation, and when parts of the breast re-
main hard and painful.
PHOSPHORUS, when hep. is insufficient to prevent suppura-
tion, or when complete ulceration of the mamme has already
taken place, and when there are also fistulous ulcers, with hard
and callous edges; or else, if with these symptoms, there are
also Perspiration or colliquative diarrhæa, with suspicious
cough, feverish heat in the evening, circumscribed redness of
the cheeks, and other symptoms of hectic fever.
SILICEA, if phos. is insufficient against suppuration of the
mamma with fistulous ulcers and symptoms of hectic fever.
With regard to SCIRRHOUS and CARCINOMATOus affections of
the mamma, the best medicines against INDURATION of the
mammary glands and NODOSITIES, are: Bell. carb-a. con. sil. or
again: Clem. coloc. graph. lyc. merc. nitr-ac. phos. puls. sep.
sulph.-If the complaint is caused by a CONTUSION, the most
eligible medicines will be: Arn. carb-a. con. (Compare Sect. 4,
INDURATIONS and NODOSITIES).
For CANCER in the breast, a preference may be given to:
Ars. clem. sil. or perhaps again: Bell. con. hep.? kreos.?

MENOCHESIA, or too feeble catamenia.-See AMENORRHŒA
and DYSMENORRHŒA.
MENOPOSIA, or critical age of women.-The medicines which
correspond most accurately with the symptoms of this period,
are: Lach. cocc. con. puls. ruta. sep. sulph.-Lachesis also, is
almost a specific for the affections of this period.

sec.
ACONITUM is always suitable at the commencement of a cure,
especially if there is violent inflammatory fever, and particularly if
the complaint has been occasioned by a fright during the con-
finement or at the period of the catamenia, or if the patient has
been subjected to an abuse of chamomile.
BELLADONNA, especially if the inflammation takes place after
confinement, with suppression of the lochia or adherence of the
placenta; or else if there are: Heaviness, drawing, and pres-
sure in the hypogastrium, as if all would protrude through the
genital organs, with burning shootings, pain in the back as if
it would break, and shooting pains in the coxo-femoral joint,
which render contact and movement insupportable.
CHAMOMILLA, especially if the inflammation is caused by
sharp contradiction, or the indulgence of passion after the
confinement, with copious secretion of lochia, and discharge
of black and clotted blood. When the abuse of chamomile has
contributed to the aggravation of the disease, the best medi-
cines are: Acon. ign. n-vom. puls.
COFFEA, if the affection arises from the influence of exces-
sive and sudden joy, especially during the catamenia or confine-
ment.
MERCURIUS, when the pains in the uterus are shooting,
pressive or boring, and especially if there is, at the same time,
little heat, but frequent perspiration or shivering.
NUX-VOм. if there are pressive, violent pains in the hypo-
gastrium, aggravated by pressure and touch; violent pains in
the small of the back; constipation or hard fæces; ischuria,
dysuria, or strangury; swelling in the orifice of the uterus,
with pain as if bruised and shooting in the hypogastrium; ag-
gravation in the morning.
See also PUERPERAL FEVER and Compare the affections of
this organ in the article UTERus.
METRORRHAGIA and MENORRHAGIA.-The best medicines
against Too PROFUSE A DISCHARGE, and also against HÆMORR-

If these affections manifest themselves in vigorous and PLE-
THORIC persons (ACTIVE HÆMORRHAGE), a preference should be
given to: Acon. bell. bry. calc. cham. fer. n-vom. plat. sabin.
sulph. or perhaps again to: Arn. croc. hyos. ign. ipec. phos. sil.
verat.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.

sage through them, and pain in the small of the back as if the
entire of the sacral region were bruised.

ternal parts were being drawn down, or if there is violent
excitability of the genital organs and venereal desire.
PULSATILLA, if the discharge of blood stops at intervals and
returns soon after with redoubled violence, or if the blood is

MISCARRIAGE.-Abortion.—The best medicines both against
a disposition to this accident and against its precursors and
sequelæ, are, in general: Bell. calc. carb-v. chum. croc. fer.

and great tendency to cold in the head.
SULPHUR, if the catamenia are too early and too profuse, or
else too feeble and retarded, with leucorrhea, itching, burning

and erosion in the genital organs; eruption or herpes on the
skin; disposition to hæmorrhoids, catarrhs, or other mucous
discharges; nervous debility, with anorexia; great fatigue, es-
pecially in the legs; frequent cephalalgia, with pressive pain
and congestion of blood in the head, &c.
Compare also: AMENORRHOEA and DYSMENorrhoea.
With reference to the PRECURSORS of miscarriage, the medi-
cines, by the aid of which it is most frequently prevented, are:
Arn. bell. bry. cham. hyos. ipec. n-vom. sabin. sec. or perhaps
again: Cann. chin. cin. cocc. n-mos. plat. puls. rhus. ruta.
ARNICA is especially indicated, if in consequence of a BLOW,
a CONCUSSION, or other MECHANICAL INJURY, labour-pains
manifest themselves with discharge of blood or of serous mu-
cus.
BELLADONNA, if there are: Violent, pressive, or tensive
pains, which occupy the whole of the abdomen, with a sensa-
tion of constriction or distension, pain in the small of the back
as if it were broken, sensation of affluxion towards the genital
organs, with or without discharge of blood.
BRYONIA, if there are: Violent pains, with obstinate consti-
pation, congestion in the head, dryness of the mouth and
thirst; and especially if n-vom. is insufficient against that
state.
CHAMOMILLA, when there are: Violent cutting pains from
the loins to the hypogastrium, with frequent desire to urinate or to
evacuate; discharge of blood, mixed with clots, from the vagi-
na; heaviness in the whole body; frequent yawnings; cold-
ness and shivering; great agitation and convulsive movements
of the limbs.
HYOSCYAMUS, if there are alternately clonic and tonic spasms,
with loss of consciousness and discharge of bright-red blood,
especially during the convulsions.
IPECACUANHA, if there are the same spasms which indicate
hyos. but without loss of consciousness, and especially if the
spasms are accompanied by cuttings round the navel, with
pressive affluxion towards the genital organs and discharge of
blood. If ipec. is insufficient in this case, plut. or else cin.
will be found to be indicated.
NUX-VOMICA, if there is: Obstinate constipation, with con-
gestion of blood in the uterus, and especially if the patient has
indulged in an abuse of irritating or heating drinks, such as
wine, coffee, &c.
SABINA, especially if the precursors of miscarriage manifest
themselves in the first period of pregnancy, or when there are,
at any period whatever, Drawing and pressive pains from the
loins to the genital organs; discharge of blood from the vagina;

flabbiness, suppleness and sinking of the abdomen; continued
desire to evacuate and diarrhea, or desire to vomit, or else
vomiting of every thing that is taken into the stomach; fever
with shiverings and heat.
SECALE, especially in weak, cachetic and exhausted persons,
disposed to passive hæmorrhage, to spasmodic affections, &c.
or if there is a want of vital energy in the uterus or organic
injury of that organ.
For the sequelae of miscarriage, such as METRORRHAGIA,
METRITIS, &c. See these articles.
MOLES. See UTERUS.
NYMPHOMANIA.-Plat. and verat. have been hitherto em-
ployed with most success. Perhaps recourse may be also had
to: Bell. canth.? chin. cinnam.? grat. lach.? n-vom. zinc. (Com-
pare also: Chap. XIX. LASCIVIOUSNESS).
OÕPHORITIS ‘or Inflammation of the Ovarium.-The medi-
cines which seem to be most suitable against this disease, are:
Bell. lach. merc. or again: Acon.? ars.? amb.? unt.? canth.?
chin.? staph.?
In one case of INDURATION and ULCERATION of the ovarium,
reported by Hering, Lach. exercised a most important influence
in producing so favourable a change in the totality of the symp-
toms, that plat. administered afterwards, (and before lach. it
would have had no effect), was sufficient to complete the
cure.
POLYPUS uteri.-See UTERUS.
PREGNANCY.-The medicines, which are most frequently in-
dicated in the various affections of pregnant women, are in
general:
For CONVULSIONS and SPASMS: Bell. cham. cic. hyos. ign.
or again: Cocc. ipec. mosch. plat. strum. verat. (See Chap. I.
SPASMS).
For MORAL AFFECTIONS: Bell. puls. or again; Acon. cupr.
lach. merc. plat. stram. verat. (Compare Chap. V. MENTAL ALIE-
NATION).
For CEPHALALGIA: Bell. bry. cocc. n-vom. puls. plat. verat.
or again: Acon. calc. magn. sep. sulph. (Compare Chap. VI.
CEPHALALGIA).
For yellowish or brownish SPOTS on the FACE: Sep.
For TOOTH-ACHE: Magn. n-mos. n-vom. puls. or again:
Alum. bell. calc. hyos. rhus. staph. (Compare Chap. IX. ODON-
TALGIA).
For BULIMY: Magn-m. natr-m. n-vom. petr. sep. (Compare
Chap. XIV. BULIMY).
For DYSPEPSIA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, &c.: Con. ipec. n-vom.
puls. or again: Acon, ars. fer. kreos. lach. magn-m. natr-m.n-
502
CHAP. XX. AFFECTIONS OF WOMEN.
mos. petr. phos. sep. verat. (Compare Chap. XV. DYSPEPSIA and
VOMITING).
For PAIN IN THE ABDOMEN: Arn. bry. cham. n-vom. puls.
sep. or again: Bell. hyos. lach. verat. (Compare Chap. XVI.
COLIC).
For CONSTIPATION: Bry. n-vom. or again: Alum. lyc. op.
sep. (Compare Chap. XVII. same word).
For DIARRHEA: Ant. phos. sep. sulph. or again: Dulc. hyos.
lyc. petr. (Compare Chap. XVII. same word).
For DYSURIA and STRANGURY: Cocc. phos-ac. puls. or again:
Con. n-vom. sulph.
For VARICES: Lyc.
PROLAPSUS uteri or vagina.-The medicines that have been
hitherto employed with most success, are: Aur. bell. n-vom.
sep.-Perhaps, in case of necessity, recourse may be also had
to: Calc. gran.? kreos. merc. n-mos.? stann.?
For Prolapsus uteri they are particularly: Aur. bell. calc.
n-vom. sep. stann.
For Prolapsus vagina: Kreos. merc. n-vom.
PUTREFACTION of the uterus.-See UTERUS.
STERILITY.-Barrenness.-The medicines, which have hitherto
been found most favourable to the promotion of conception,
are: Bor. calc. cann. merc. phos.
Besides these medicines: Am-c. has been recommended for
barren females, who have TOO FEEBLE CATAMENIA.
For those who have TOO PROFUSE or too early catamenia :
Calc. merc. natr-m. sulph. sulph-ac.
If the catamenia are RETARDED: caus. graph. and if they are
suppressed: Con.
See also: Sect. 3, STERILITY.
SCIRRHOUS of the uterus or mamma.-See MAMMA and UTE-
RUS.
UTERUS (Affections of the).-The best medecines for affections
of the uterus are, in general: Bell, cham. cocc. con. hyos. ign.
magn. magn-m. n-vom. plat. puls. sep. sulph. or else again : Bry.
caus. mosch. natr-m. n-mos. stann. stram. verat. &c. (Compare
HYSTERIA).
For UTERINE SPASMS (Spasms in the uterus, metralgia, or
hysteralgia) the best medicines are: Cocc. con. ign. magn. mågn-
m. or else again: Bell. bry.? cham. caus. hyos. natr-m. n-vom.
plat.? sep. stann. &c. (Compare MENSTRUAL COLIC and HYSTE-
RICAL SPASMS).
For PROLAPSUS UTERI, the medicines that have hitherto been
employed with most success, are: Aur. bell. calc. n-vom. sep.
stann. &c. and perhaps : Gran.? kreos.? merc.? n-mos.? may be
also administered.
SECT. 2. SYMPTOMS OF THE ORGANS.
503
For INFLAMMATION in the uterus, See METRITIS.
SWELLING of the uterus (enlargement of the abdomen), in
aged women, or in consequence of repeated pregnancy, requires
in preference: Sep. or again: Bell.? calc.? chin.? n-vom.? plat.?
for DISTENSION of that organ from gas, a preference may be
given to Phos. or perhaps to: Lyc.
For HYDATID and MOLES, observation has not as yet indi-
cated any medicine with sufficient certainty; but it is possible
that Bell. or canth. may be sometimes found efficacious against
MOLES.
Against POLYPUs uteri : Staph. has been principally recom-
mended; and perhaps in some cases, recourse may be also had
to: Calc.
With respect to SCIRRHOUS and CARCINOMATOUS affections
of the uterus: Aur. bell. magn-m. sep. staph. have been hitherto
employed with most success against INDURATIONS : and Ars.
bell. staph. against CARCINOMATOUS ulcerations.—Perhaps also
in some cases: Chin. iod. plat. may be administered against
INDURATIONS; and: Merc.
and Merc. nitr-ac.? thuy. against ULCE-
RATIONS. (Compare also: scirrhous and cancer in the MAм-
MA).
PUTREFACTION of the uterus, such as sometimes occurs after
accouchement, in females of a sickly constitution requires sec.
in preference.

SECTION 6. DISEASES OF CHILDREN.
Principally of New-born Infants.
(CLINICAL REMARKS.)
ABDOMINAL OBSTRUCTION.-See Chap. 1, ATROPHY of
i children.
ACIDITY.—The best remedies against acid retching and diar-
rhæa are: Cham. rheum. or: Bella. calc. sulph. (Compare
DIARRHEA).
APHTHÆ. The medicine which ought to be almost always em-
ployed in the first place is: Merc. and then, at the end of six
or seven days: Sulph.-Bor. or sulph-ac. will also be often
found suitable.
ASPHYXIA.-The best medicine to employ in concert with
mechanical means is tart. 1st trit. gr. 1, dissolved in 8 oz.
of water, and administered either in the form of a clyster, or
by introducing some drops of this mixture into the mouth of the
infant, every quarter of an hour.
If at the end of half an hour no favourable change takes place
in the infant, recourse must be had to op. if the face is bluish,
and to chin. if it is pale.
When the infant revives and respiration commences, acon.
may be administered if the face has been previously red or
bluish; or again: Chin. if it has been pale.
ASTHMA.-Attacks of asthma in little children, with spasms,
suffocation, and bluish face, mostly yield to ipec. and if they
come on during sleep, with cries, dry, dull cough and anxiety,
to samb. See also Chap. XXII, THYMIC ASTHMA and ASTHMA
MILLARI.
Besides these two kinds of asthma, there is also another,
characterized by hard and tight distension of the hypochondria
and pit of the stomach, with shortness of breath, choking,
anxiety, agitation and tossing, cries and retraction of the
thighs.-Cham. is the specific medicine against this state.
ATROPHY.-See Chap. 1.
COLIC of children.-The best medicines are in general: Bor.
SECT. 6. CLINICAL REMARKS.
517
cham. cin. ipec. kal. jalap. n-mos. rhab. senn. or again: Acon.
bell. calc. caus. cic. coff. sil. staph.
For the details, See CRIES, DIARRHEA and WORMS.
CONSTIPATION of new-born infants.-Bry. n-vom. op. are
the most efficacious medicines, and may, in most cases, be ad-
ministered immediately.
If these medicines are insufficient, a selection may be made
according to circumstances, and the symptoms exhibited by the
nurse, among: Alum. lyc. sulph. verat.
CONVULSIONS.-See SPASMS.
CORYZA. Little children are often affected by a kind of
coryza, or rather a kind of OBSTRUCTION of the nose, which
hinders respiration while they are sucking. The most eligible
medicine is, in most cases: Ñ-vom. or else: Sulph. if n-vom.
is insufficient.
Recourse may be often had also to: Cham. if the obstruc-
tion is accompanied by running of water from the nose; or
else by: Carb-v. if it is aggravated in the evening, or again by
dulc. if the aggravation takes place in the open air.
CRYING of new-born infants.-If children cry continually with-
out any apparent cause, bell. is frequently indicated, or else:
Cham.—If the crying is caused by soreness of the head or ears,
cham. must be employed in the first place, and bell. if that me-
dicine is insufficient.
If the infant suffers from colic, and bends itself double when
crying, with retraction of the thighs, the best medicine is cham.
if the infant's face is red, or bell. if it is pale. If there are, at
the same time, loose evacuations of a sour smell, with tenesmus,
rhab. is preferable. If none of these medicines is sufficient,
recourse may be had to: Bor. jalap. ipec. senn.
When the infant or the nurse has been already subjected to
an abuse of chamomile, bor. ign. puls. may be administered.
When the infants are very restless, with sleeplessness and
feverish heat, coff. or acon. is to be preferred.
CROUP. See Chap. XXI.
CRUSTA LACTEA.-See Chap. X.
DENTITION.-The best medicines against the sufferings that
are caused by dentition are in general: Acon. bell. bor. calc.
cham. coff. ign. merc. sulph. or again: Ars. chin. fer. magn.
magn-m. n-vom. stann.
SLEEPLESSNESS requires principally: Coff. or again: Acon.
bor. cham.
FEBRILE affections: Acon. cham. coff. n-vom. or else again :
Bell. bor. sil.
AGITATION and nervous EXCITABILITY: Coff. or else: Acon.
bell. bor. cham.
518
CHAP. XX. AFFECTIONS OF CHILDREN.
CONSTIPATION: Bry. magn-m. n-vom.
DIARRHEA: Merc. sulph. or again: Ars. calc. cham. coff.
fer. ipec. magn.
Dry and spasmodic COUGH: Cham. cin. n-vom.
SPASMS OF CONVULSIONS: Bell. cham. cin. ign. or again:
Calc. stann. sulph.
If the teeth are excessively slow in cutting through the gums,
the work of nature will be mostly facilitated and expedited by
sulph. or calc.
See also, for the above-mentioned affections, the cor-
responding articles in this chapter.
DIARRHEA.-Diarrhea in children caused by ACIDITY in the
digestive organs with colic, and often with cries, requires
in preference rhab. especially if there is tenesmus, at the same
time, or if notwithstanding the greatest cleanliness, the infant
has a sour smell.
If in this case, rhab. is insufficient while the colic is violent,
and the face is red, cham. will be more eligible, or else bell. if
the infant's face is pale.
If, on the contrary, there is little pain, but great weakness,
with distension of the abdomen, and especially if bell. cham.
rhab. have proved insufficient, sulph. will be frequently found
very beneficial.
Diarrhea which manifests itself in children during the HEAT
OF SUMMER, yields, in most cases, to a few doses of ipec. or else
to n-vom. if ipec. is insufficient.
If, notwithstanding this treatment, the diarrhea returns
whenever the weather is a little WARM, recourse may be had
to: Bry. or to: Carb-v. if bryon. is not quite sufficient.
If, on the contrary, the diarrhea is renewed every time that
the weather BECOMES COOL, dulc. will be the best medicine, or
else: Ant. if the tongue is covered with a white coating.
Ars. will also be frequently found very beneficial, especially
when the infant is much emaciated, and becomes very weak,
pale and languid.
Besides these medicines: Fer. hep. ipec. jalap. magn. merc.
n-vom. sulph-ac.-See also the articles: ACIDITY, ATROPHY,
DENTITION, GASTROSIS, WORMS, &c. and Compare Chap.
XVII, DIARRHEA and DYSENTERY.
ECLAMPSIA.-See SPASMS.
EXCORIATION in infants.-The best medicine to employ in
the first place is cham. provided, however, the infant or
nurse has not been previously subjected to an abuse of cha-
momile ptisan. In this latter case, bor. ign. or puls. must be
preferred.
If cham. is insufficient, recourse may be had to bor. or to
SECT. 6. CLINICAL REMARKS.
519
carb-v. or else merc. if the infant's skin is yellowish, if the
parts affected are, as it were, raw, and if the excoriation ma-
nifests itself also behind the ears.
If none of the preceding medicines is sufficient, sulph. will
often be very beneficial, and also sil. if sulph. fails to effect a
complete cure.
Caus. graph. lyc. sep. have been also recommended.
FEVERS.—The fevers of children require in most cases: Acon.
cham. or coff. and considerable benefit has been also derived
from: Bell. bor. ign. merc. n-vom.
ACONITUM is especially indicated, if there is: Violent heat;
with thirst, sleeplessness, or agitated sleep with frequent
waking with a start, anxiety, weeping, exasperation and in-
consoleableness.
CHAMOMILLA, if there are: Burning heat and redness of the
skin, with desire to drink frequently; great agitation especially
at night, with tossing, anxiety, moaning and sighs; redness
of the face or only (of one) of the cheeks; hot perspiration in
the head, also in the hair; short, rapid, and anxious respira-
tion, with rattling of mucus in the throat; short, dry, and
panting cough, or convulsive jerks of the limbs.
COFFEA, if the fever is less violent, but if there is excessive
nervous excitability with sleeplessness, or agitated sleep with
frequent waking with a start, at one time excessive gaiety, at
another time strong propensity to shed tears.
For the rest of the medicines cited, Compare Chap.
IV. FEVERS, &c.
GASTROSIS or GASTRIC DERANGEMENT of infants.-The best
medicines are in general: Bell. cham. ipec. merc. n-vom. puls.
or again: Bar-c. calc. hyos. lyc. magn. rhab. sulph.
If there exists ACIDITY, whether exhibited in vomiting or
in acid diarrhæa, the most eligible medicines are: Bell. cham.
rhab. or again: Calc. magn. n-vom. puls.
If the gastric derangement arises from INDIGESTION, the best
medicine against the vomiting is: ipec. especially if there is
diarrhæa at the same time; or puls. if ipec. is insufficient. If
the diarrhea is not accompanied by vomiting, but is attended
with evacuation of ingesta, or if the infant has been already
weakened by purgatives, chin. is to be preferred.-If there is,
on the contrary, only vomiting, with constipation, recourse
must be had to: n-vom.
With regard to chronic DYSPEPSIA in some infants, or that
weakness of the stomach, which causes the slightest neglect of
regimen to be followed by indigestion: Bar-c. calc. ipec. merc.
n-vom. puls. sulph. will be often found beneficial.

CHAP. XX. AFFECTIONS OF CHILDREN.
HERNIA. UMBILICAL hernia of infants yields mostly to: n-vom.
-The most useful medicines for INGUINAL hernia, are: Aur.
cham. n-vom. sulph. verat. provided that only a single dose of
each of them is given and that they are administered at long
intervals, one from the other.
HYDROCEPHALE.--See Chap. VI.
ICTERUS.-In most cases, a few doses of merc. will be sufficient,
or if not: Chin. will complete the cure.
INCONTINENCE of urine.-ENURESIS.-See Chap. XVIII.
INDIGESTION.-See GASTROSIS.
ISCHURIA.—The best medicine is: Camph. or if this is insuffi-
cient: Acon. or puls. (Compare Chap. XVIII. ISCHURIA and
DYSURIA).
Ş
MILIARY eruption of nurses. In the majority of cases,
some doses of acon. will be sufficient, if not, cham. may be
employed, and if this medicine is also insufficient, recourse
must be had to: sulph.
OPHTHALMIA of new-born infants.-The best medicines are:
Acon. cham. dulc. merc. or else: Bell. bry. calc. n-vom. puls.
sulph. (Compare also OPHTHALMIA, Chap. XVIII).
RACHITISMA.-See Chap. I.
SCROFULA.—See Chap. I.
SLEEPLESSNESS of new-born infants.-If the nurse has not
usually indulged in an abuse of coffee, coff. will often be suffi-
cient; in the contrary case, or if coff. is not sufficient, op. will
frequently be very useful, especially if the child has a red
face.
If the infant is tormented by colic, with cries, a preference
must be given to: Cham. or else to: jalap. or rhab.
If there is at the same time great agitation with feverish heat,
and if coff. is insufficient, acon. may be often administered with
great success.
If sleeplessness manifests itself after WEANING, or if the
child cries for whole hours and days, without closing the
eyes and without any perceptible cause, bell. is the best me-
dicine.
See also: CRYING.
SPASMS and CONVULSIONS.-The best medicines against spasms
in little children are in general: Bell. cham. cin. coff. ign.
ipec. merc. op. or again: Acon. caus. cupr. lach. n-vom. stann.
sulph.
BELLADONNA is especially indicated if the paroxysms termi-
nate in a lethargic state, or occur alternately with it; or else
if the child wakes suddenly, as if from fright, with haggard
eyes, anxious and fixed look, as if from apprehension; dilated

the bed frequently, with cramps in the chest, convulsive move-
ments of the limbs, distension and hardness of the abdomen,
frequent itching in the nose, cough resembling hooping-cough,
&c.
COFFEA, especially in weak, wretched children, who are
often attacked by these convulsions, without any other ail-
ment.
IGNATIA, in most cases, at the commencement of the disease
or treatment, especially when it is unknown whether the teeth,
or worms, &c. are the cause of the attacks, or if the spasms
return every day at the same hour, with jerking in some limbs
or in some muscles only; frequent flushes of heat, and perspi-
ration, whether during or after the spasms; light sleep, from
which the child wakes with a start, piercing cries and trem-
bling of the whole body. (After ign., cham. is often suit-
able).

vals between the fits, with nausea, vomiturition, or vomiting
and diarrhea, with frequent spasmodic stretching.

time.
WEAKNESS of children (muscular).-The best medicines for
children who are a long time in learning to walk, from physi-
cal weakness of the muscles, are: Bell. calc. caus. sil. sulph. or

COUGH.-Cough being always only a symptom of some other
affection, there is scarcely any medicine that may not enter
into the list of remedies to be administered. We, therefore, pre-
tend not to give, in this place, sufficient instruction for the
treatment of a phenomenon which is merely symptomatic;
but on the other hand, we have not considered it useless to
offer some general observations respecting the selection of the
medicines, according to the different kinds of cough that may
characterize the affections of which they form a part.
Thus, against CATARRHAL Cough, the following medicines.
should be taken into consideration; generally: Acon. bell. bry.
cham. merc. n-vom. puls. rhus. sulph. or again: Arn. ars. calc.

And if the CATARRHAL cough is DRY, particularly: Acon.
bell. bry. caps. cham. cin. hyos. ign. lach. merc. n-vom. rhus.
spong. sulph. or again : Bar-c. hep. dros. lyc. natr-m. phos.
If it is Loose with much expectoration: Calc, dulc. euphr.

cann. carb-v. caus. kal. merc. natr-m. &c.
See also BRONCHITIS.
For NERVOUS and SPASMODIC cough, the medicines most
frequently indicated are: Bell. bry. carb-v. cin. cupr. dros. hep.
hyos. ipec. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph. or again: Ambr. chin. con.
fer. iod. lact. nitr-ac. sil. mgs-arc.
If the cough is accompanied by VOMITING OF VOMITURITION:
Bry. carb-v. dros. fer. ipec. n-vom. phos-ac. puls. sep. sulph. tart.
verat.
If it manifests itself with PAROXYSMS OF SUFFOCATION (Suf-
focating cough): Bry. cham. chin. dros. hep. ipec. lach. op.
samb. spig. sulph. tart. mgs-arc.
For the other kinds of cough, See the articles: PLEURISY,

NARY PHTHISIS, &c. and Compare BRONCHITIS, GRIPPE, &c.
and also the SYMPTOMS of cough, Sect. 3, 4, 5.
CROUP, or MEMBRANOUS ANGINA, ANGINA TRACHEALIS.-The
best medicines are in general: Acon. spong. and hep. and these
may be administered by dissolving from six to ten globules of
the sixth or third attenuations in from six to eight ounces of
water, of which solution a spoonful may be taken every hour,
or even every half-hour, according to circumstances.
ACONITUM is especially indicated in the inflammatory period,
and ought to be continued as long as there are: Great excite-
ment of the nervous and sanguineous symptoms, burning heat
with thirst, short, dry cough, short and quick respiration,
but not loud, wheezing, nor resembling the sound of a
saw.
SPONGIA is indicated, on the contrary, if the symptoms
above mentioned have yielded to the action of acon. and if there
remain only the characteristic symptoms of violent croup, or
else if the disease presents itself from the first under this form,
with hoarse, hollow, ringing, and squeaking cough, or dry cough
producing little mucus, which is detached with difficulty,
slow, noisy, wheezing respiration, which resembles the sound of a
saw, or else a fit of choking, with inability to breathe except
when holding back the head.
HEPAR is preferable, if, from the action of spong., the cough

has become more easy and the difficulty of respiration seems
to arise only from an accumulation of mucus in the respiratory
organs; or else, if from the commencement, the symptoms of
croup are accompanied by a rattling of mucus, if the cough is
moist, with the respiration slightly obstructed, and little irrita-
tion of the nervous and sanguineous systems.
Besides these three principal medicines, the following have
been also recommended against the HOARSE AND HOLLOW
COUGH which sometimes precedes the croup, several days:
Cham. chin. cin. dros. hyos. n-vom. verat.
Against the croup with PARALYTIC STATE OF THE LUNGS:
Tart.
Against a complication of the croup with ASTHMA MILLARI:
Samb. or mosch.
Against desperate cases in which: Acon. spong. and hep.
prove insufficient: Mosch. phos. or again: Camph. cupr. lach.
Against LARYNGITIS, hoarseness and catarrhal affections
which continue after the croup: Hep. or phos. or again: Arn.
bell. carb-v. dros.
To overcome a DISPOSITION to croup: Lyc. and phos. have
been principally recommended.
DEFLUXION.—(Rhume de poitrine).-See BRONCHITIS.
GRIPPE or INFLUENZA.-The medicines that have been hitherto
employed with most success against this kind of BRONCHITIS,
are, in general: Acon. ars. bell. caus. merc. n-vom. and also
Arn. bry. camph. chin. ipec. phos. puls. sabad. sen. sil. spig.
squill. verat.
ACONITUM is especially suitable if the complaint assumes a
decidedly inflammatory character, with pleurisy or pneumonia,
or else if there is only a dry, violent and shaking cough, either
with or without oppression at the chest, or shootings in the
chest or sides; and, also, if there are rheumatic affections, with
bronchial catarrh and sore-throat.
ARSENICUM, if there is: Rheumatic cephalalgia with violent
pains, fluent coryza, with corrosive mucus; or great weakness,
with aggravation of the state at night or after a meal; spas-
modic cough, with desire to vomit, or vomiting and expecto-
ration of serous mucus; blearedness in the eyes, which are
also inflamed, with ulcers on the cornea and excessive photo-
phobia. (In this last case : Bell. or lach. will also be often
suitable).
Belladonna, if the cough becomes spasmodic, or if talking,
bright light, walking and all movement aggravate the cepha-
lalgia to such an extent as to render it insupportable; or else
if the affection attacks the membranes of the brain, with violent
A A 2

burning heat, agitation and inquietude, delirium and convul-
sions.
CAUSTICUM, if there are: Rheumatic pains in the limbs and
shiverings, which are aggravated by all movement; pains in the
zygomatic process and maxillæ; and violent, dry cough, ag-
gravated at night, with heat over the whole body; sensation
of erosion in the chest; constipation, anorexia, with nausea and
also vomiting of food.
MERCURIUS, if there are: Rheumatic pains in the head, face,
ears, teeth, and limbs, with sore-throat; pleuretic or pulmonary
symptoms, with dry, violent, shaking and incessant cough,
which does not permit one to utter a single word; dry or fluent
coryza; frequent bleeding at the nose; constipation, or slimy,
or bilious diarrhea, shivering or heat, with violent perspira-
tion.
NUX-VOM. if the cough is hoarse and hollow, with rattling
of mucus, or with thick expectoration; violent cephalalgia,
as if the brain were bruised, with heaviness of the head and
vertigo; pain in the small of the back; constipation, anorexia,
nausea and desire to vomit, with thirst; sleeplessness or agitated
sleep, with anxious dreams; shooting or pain as if from erosion
in the chest.
Among the other medicines, recourse may be had to :
ARNICA, if the influenza assumes an inflammatory character,
with pleurodynia, rheumatic pains in the limbs, pressive, spas-
modic cephalalgia and bleeding at the nose or mouth.
BRYONIA, if there are rheumatic pains in the limbs and
chest, which do not permit the least movement.
CAMPHORA, if there is catarrhal asthma, with immense ac-
cumulation of mucus in the bronchia, choking-fit, and dryness
and coldness of the skin.
CHINA, against weakness in consequence of the influenza,
with anorexia and heat without thirst.
IPECACUANHA, if the paroxysms of cough are accompanied
by violent vomiturition and vomiting of slimy matter.
PHOSPHORUS, if the bronchia and larynx are so irritated,
that the sharpness of the pain alters the voice and almost
hinders speech.
PULSATILLA, when the cough allows no repose, day or night,
and when it is especially fatiguing in a recumbent posture,
with mucous obstruction of the digestive organs, and loose
evacuations.
SABADILLA, if there are: Fluent coryza, bewilderment of
the head, and dirty complexion; dull cough, with vomiting, or
with hemoptysis, which manifests itself especially in a recum-
!
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.

bent posture; aggravation of all the symptoms in the cold air,
and also towards noon, and again still more towards evening.
SENEGA, if there are: Tickling and incessant burning in the
larynx and throat, with danger of suffocation when lying
down.
SILICEA against a disposition to take cold in the head after
the influenza.
SPIGELIA, if the cough is loose from the first, with expec-
toration of much mucus.
STANNUM, if the cough, which is at first dry, becomes loose,
with profuse expectoration, or if the influenza threatens to
turn to phthisis pituitosa.
VERATRUM, if the influenza manifests itself with symptoms
of sporadic cholera, and if there are slight catarrhal symptoms,
but great weakness.
HÆMOPTYSIS.-See Chap. XXII, PULMONARY HÆMORRHAGE.
HOARSENESS and APHONIA.-The most efficacious medicines
are in general: Bell. bry, caps. carb-v. caus. cham. dros. dulc.
hep. mang. merc. natr. n-vom. petr. phos. puls. samb. sil. sulph.
For ordinary CATARRHAL hoarseness, or that without cough,
they are principally: Cham. carb-v. dulc. merc. n-vom. puls.
rhus. samb. sulph. or again: Bell. calc. caps. dros. hep. mang.
natr. phos. tart.
CHRONIC hoarseness requires in preference: Carb-v. caus.
hep. mang. petr. phos. sil. sulph. or again: Dros. dulc. rhus.
For complete APHONIA, great benefit will be often derived
from: Ant. bell. caus. merc. phos. sulph.
Besides, hoarseness resulting from MORBILLI will be most
frequently cured by: Bell. bry. carb-v. cham. dros. dulc. sulph.
That which manifests itself in consequence of CROUP by:
Hep. phos. or again by: Bell. carb-v. dros.
In consequence of BRONCHITIS, NASAL CATARRH, &c. by:
Carb-v. caus. dros. mang. phos. rhus. sil. sulph.
That which is the result of a chill, by: Bell. carb-v. dulc.
sulph. and if it is invariably aggravated by cold and damp
weather: Carb-v. or sulph. Compare also: LARYNGITIS, CROUr
and COUGH, and for the details, See BRONCHITIS, and also the
SYMPTOMS, Sect. 2, 3, 4.
HOOPING-COUGH.-The medicines which have hitherto been
employed with most success against this complaint are in ge-
neral: Acon. arn. bell. carb-v. con. cupr. dulc. hep. ipec. merc.
n-vom. puls. verat.
And also: Bry, cham. con. iod. lact. led. sep. sulph. tart.
And perhaps, in some cases, recourse may be also had to:
Anac. ars. fer. lach. nitr-ac. samb.
In the FIRST stage of hooping-cough, the IRRITATIVE period,
534
CHAP. XXI. LARYNX AND BRONCHIA.
the medicines which most frequently succeed in arresting the
progress of this complaint at its commencement are: Acon.
carb-v. dulc. ipec. n-vom. puls.
ACONITUM is especially indicated, if, at the commencement,
the cough is dry and sibilant, with fever, or if the child com-
plains of burning pains in the larynx or bronchia.
CARBO-VEG. if notwithstanding the use of the medicines.
cited above (Acon. dulc. ipec. n-vom. puls.) the cough threatens
to proceed to the second stage, or else if it manifests itself
from the first as a convulsive cough, appearing especially in the
evening, or before midnight, with redness of the pharynx, sore-
throat when swallowing, lachrymation, or shootings in the
head, pains in the chest and throat, or else if there is an erup-
tion on the head or body.
DULCAMARA, if, from the first, the cough is loose, with easy
expectoration and hoarseness, and especially if it manifests
itself in consequence of a chill.
IPECACUANHA, if, from the commencement, the cough is ac-
companied by great anguish, with danger of suffocation and
bluish face; especially if n-vom. has proved insufficient against
that state.
NUX-VOM. if the cough is dry, and manifests itself especially
from midnight until morning, with vomiting, anguish, choking
fit, and bluish face, bleeding at the nose and mouth.
PULSATILLA, if, from the commencement, there is a loose
cough with vomiting of mucus or food, or else slimy diarrhæa.
In the SECOND stage of the hooping-cough, the CONVULSIVE
period, with vomiting and bleeding at the nose and mouth, the best
medicines are: Cin. cupr. dros. verat. or again: Bell. merc.
CINA is especially indicated if the child suddenly becomes
stiff during the paroxysm, and, if, after the paroxysm, a
clucking noise is heard, descending from the gullet into the ab-
domen. This medicine is also almost a specific in children who
have vermiculous symptoms, such as frequent gripings, itching
in the anus, and desire to rub the nose frequently, or to poke
the fingers into it. In this case merc. will also be found very
beneficial.
CUPRUM, if, during the paroxysm, there is rigidity of the
body, with suspended respiration and loss of consciousness;
vomiting after the paroxysms, and rattling of mucus in the
chest when not coughing. (Verat. will be often found suitable
after cupr.)
DROSERA, if besides the symptoms peculiar to this stage,
the paroxysms are excessively violent, if the sibilant sound of
the cough is very decided; if there is no fever, or if, on the
contrary, the fever is strongly developed, with shuddering
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
535
and heat, thirst only after the shivering, perspiration rather
hot than cold, or only at night; aggravation of this state
during repose; amelioration from movement. This medicine
is besides, always preferable, if the hooping-cough is entirely
developed, with vomiting of food or slimy matter, and bleeding
at the nose and mouth. (Verat. is sometimes suitable after
dros.)
VERATUM, frequently if dros. is not quite sufficient against
the affections of the convulsive stage, or else before this medi-
cine, especially if the child is very weak, with a kind of slow
fever, cold perspiration, especially on the forehead; small,
quick and weak pulse; great thirst, or else if, during the pa-
roxysms, there is emission of urine or pain in the chest and
inguina; drowsiness between the paroxysms, with repugnance
to movement and conversation; weakness of the nape of the
neck, to such an extent as to be unable to hold up the head;
miliary eruption over the whole body, or only on the hands and
face.
The convulsive form of hooping-cough, of which we have
been just speaking, is not, however, always entirely developed,
and it is often found, when this disease prevails as an epidemic,
that children are affected by a spasmodic cough, which has not
all the characteristics of hooping-cough, or rather, the disease
itself (according to essentials) assumes a form more or less
different from the ordinary one.—The medicines, which, in that
case, are most frequently indicated are: Bell. bry. iod. merc.
sulph. tart.
BELLADONNA is especially indicated, if there are very decided
cerebral affections, or if the cough announces itself by a pain-
ful sensation in the region of the stomach, with bleeding at
the nose and mouth, or else with sugillation in the eye; or if
there are other spasmodic affections, such as eclapsia, convulsive
asthma, &c.—Also when the paroxysms terminate in sneezing.
BRYONIA, if the paroxysms of suffocating cough take place,
especially in the evening, or at night, and also invariably after
eating or drinking, with want of breath, choking and vomiting
of ingesta.
IODIUM, if the cough is excited by an insupportable tickling
in the bronchia, with undulating respiration during the pa-
roxysms, excessive anguish before the fits, great fatigue and
emaciation.
LACTUCA, if the cough is violent, with vomiting after every
fit of coughing, without any other symptom characteristic of
hooping-cough.
MERCURIUS, if the cough comes on only at night, or else
only by day, and if it manifests itself in two paroxysms which
536
CHAP. XXI. LARYNX AND BRONCHIA.
occur soon after one another, and which are separated from the
two following paroxysms by longer intervals; or in the true
hooping-cough, if the child bleeds profusely at the nose and
mouth, when vomiting, with profuse perspiration at night, and
great nervous susceptibility; especially in children subject to
vermiculous affections or to convulsions. (Carb-v. is often
suitable in this last case after merc.)
SULPHUR, if the paroxysms of coughing are accompanied by
vomiting, and will yield to none of the other medicines cited.
TARTARUS, especially if the fits of vomiturition are accom-
panied by diarrhea, with great debility and failure of vital
force, or if the children vomit up their supper soon after mid-
night.
When the convulsive period of the hooping-cough is passed,
and the complaint is on the decline, the medicines that are
most frequently indicated against the catarrhal cough which
remains, are: Arn. carb-v. dulc. hep. puls.
ARNICA is especially indicated if the child cries much after
coughing, or if the paroxysms are announced or excited by
cries and tears.
CARBO-VEG. if the catarrhal cough frequently relapses into a
convulsive cough, or if, notwithstanding the cessation of the
other symptoms of real hooping-cough, the vomitings con-
tinue.
DULCAMARA, if the catarrhal cough is accompanied by ex-
pectoration of much mucus.
HEPAR, if the cough is considerably abated, but hollow, dry
and hoarse, with vomiturition after the paroxysms, and frequent
tears.
PULSATILLA, if there is: Loose cough, with easy expectora-
tion of serous mucus.
As we have divided hooping-cough into its different stages,
and indicated the medicines most suitable to each, we must
now guard against an error, which might be committed if it
were supposed that none of the medicines cited can ever be
adapted to any other period than the one to which it is here
attached. All these medicines having, in their pathogenesy,
many more symptoms than we have recapitulated in this place,
and the same disease being capable of exhibiting so many
shades of difference, according to the constitution of the indi-
vidual who is attacked by it; it is possible that a medicine
which we have cited only against the precursors of hooping-
cough, or else against a cough which resembles it, may fre-
quently be found suitable against the true hooping-cough. We
have asserted several times, and we cannot repeat it too often,
that the choice of a medicine must never be decided by the NAME

And Heart.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
or
ANGINA OF THE CHEST, CARDIAC OR SYNCOPTIC ASTHMA,
Stenocardia.-The medicines that have been principally recom-
mended against this kind of asthma, which often accompanies
organic injuries of the heart, such as aneurism, hyperthropia,
&c. are: Ars. dig. samb.
APOPLEXY (PULMONARY). See PARALYTIC ORTHOPNÆA.
ASTHMA (CARDIAC).—See Angina of the CHEST.
ASTHMA (CATARRHAL), or SUFFOCATING

or
CATARRH.-See
ASTHMA OF MILLAR AND WIGAND. For the asthma of
MILLAR, samb. will be found, in most cases, almost a specific.-
When this medicine is insufficient, recourse may be had, ac-
cording to the circumstances, to: Acon. ars. ipec. lach. mosch.
For the FICTITIOUS (Simulé) asthma of MILLAR, or asthma
of WIGAND, the most eligible medicines are: Bell. ipec. samb.
or perhaps again: Ars. bar-c. cham. chin. coff. cupr. lach. n-
vom. op.
See for details, NERVOUS ASTHMA.
ASTHMA (NERVOUS or SPASMODIC).-The best medicines
are in general: Acon. ars. bell. bry. cupr. fer. ipec. n-vom. phos.
puls. samb. sulph.
Or else: Ambr. am-c. aur. calc. carb-v. cham. chin. cocc.

The best medicines to afford IMMEDIATE relief in an attack of
asthma, are, according to the circumstances: Acon. ars. cham.
ipec. mosch. op. samb. tart. or again: Bell. bry, chin. n-mos. n-
vom. puls.
In order to eradicate the DISPOSITION to a return of these
attacks, a preference ought to be given to: Ant. ars, calc. n-
vom. sulph. or again: Am-c. carb-v. caus. cupr. fer. graph. kal.
lach, lyc. nitr-ac. phos. sep. sil. stann. zinc.
With respect to the OCCASIONAL CAUSES of asthma, if it
arises from CONGESTION OF BLOOD in the chest, a preference

CHAP. XXII. CHEST AND HEART.
may be given to: Acon. aur. bell. merc. n-vom. phos. spong.
sulph. or again: Am-c. calc. carb-v cupr. fer. puls.
If it is connected with derangement of the CATAMENIA: Bell.
cocc. cupr. merc. n-vom. puls. sulph. or again: Acon. phos. sep.
If it is produced by FLATUS, accumulated or incarcerated in
the abdomen (Flatulent asthma): Carb-v. cham. chin. n-vom. op.
phos. sulph. zinc. or again: Ars. caps. hep. natr. verat.
If there is an accumulation of Mucus in the bronchia or
lungs (Moist, mucous, or pituitous asthma): Ars. bry. calc. chin.
cupr. dulc. fer. graph. lach, phos. puls. sen. sep. stann. sulph. or
again: Bar-c. bell. camph. con. hep. ipec. merc. n-vom. sil. tart.

Moreover, for asthma caused by inspiring Dust, and es-
pecially STONE-DUST, as happens in the case of sculptors, per-
sons who labour in a quarry, &c. a preference may be given to:
Calc. hep. sil. sulph. or perhaps again: Ars. bell. chin. ipec. n-
vom. phos.
For asthma produced by SULPHUR-VAPOUR: Puls.—By the
vapour of COPPER or ARSENIC : Merc. hep. ipec. or else: Ars.
camph. or cupr.
For that which is the result of a CHILL: Acon. bell. bry.
dulc. ipec. or again: Ars. cham. chin.
If it manifests itself in consequence of any MORAL EMOTION:

tions may be designated, we may, while guided by the TOTALITY
OF THE SYMPTOMS, select :
ACONITUM, principally in sensitive persons, young girls of ple-
thoric habit, who lead a sedentary life, especially if the pa-
roxysms occur after the slightest moral emotion, and if there
are: Dyspnea, with inability to take a deep inspiration; in-

CYANOSIS. In the clinical annals of homoeopathy, there is
a report of only one case of cyanosis, cured by dig.-Lach. has
also been recommended. But the kind of cyanosis in which
recourse may be had to either of these medicines has not
been satisfactorily stated in either of these cases.
HÆMORRHAGE (PULMONARY), AND HEMOPTYSIS.—The best
medicines against the different kinds of Hæmoptysis, are in
general: Acon. arn. ars. bell. carb-v. chin. dulc. fer. hyos. ign.
ipec. n-vom. op. puls. rhus. sulph.
Or else again: Am-c. bry, cocc. coff. con. croc. cupr. kal.
kreos. lach. led. lyc. mill. nitr-ac. sep. sulph-ac.
If the blood is expectorated only in small quantities, when
coughing (HEMOPTYSIS), the most efficacious medicines are:
Arn. bell. bry. carb-v. çhin. dulc. lach. merc. puls. rhus. sil. staph.
sulph. or again: Am-c. ars. bry, con, cupr. kal. led, lyc. nitr-ac.
sep. sulph-ac.
But if, on the contrary, the blood comes away profusely (Pul-
monary HÆMORRHAGE), the most proper medicines are: Acon.
arn, bell, carb-v. chin. dulc. fer. hyos. ipec. n-vom. op. puls. rhus.
or else again: Ars. croc. ign. led. mill. sulph. sulph-ac.
In more serious cases, and in imminent danger: Acon. chin.
ipec. op. will be found most efficacious.
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.

Against the affections which remain after pulmonary hæmorr-
hage, the most suitable medicines are: Carb-v. chin. or else:
Ars. coff. ign. sulph.
To prevent a relapse, recourse must be had to: Ars. n-vom.
sulph. administered alternately in single doses, and at long in-
tervals.
In general, recourse may be had to:
ACONITUM, when there is before the hæmorrhage: Ebul-
lition of blood in the chest, with sensation of fulness and
burning pain; palpitation of the heart, anguish and agitation,
which are aggravated when lying down; paleness of the face,
with features expressive of anguish; profuse expectoration of
blood at intervals, excited not by a violent, but by a very
slight cough. (Ars. or ipec. is sometimes suitable after acon.)
ARNICA, if the pulmonary hæmorrhage is caused by a me-
chanical injury, a fall, a blow on the chest or back, &c. or if
there is: Easy expectoration of black and coagulated blood,
with dyspnea, shootings, burning and contraction in the chest,
palpitation of the heart, violent heat over the whole body, and
syncope; or else: Expectoration of a clear, frothy blood,
mixed with clots and lumps of mucus, with cough and tussicu-
lation; tickling under the sternum; shootings in the head
when coughing, and pain in all the limbs, as if they had been
beaten. (In cases of traumatic hæmorrhage, it will be often ad-
viseable that arn. should be preceded by a dose of acon. or else
that it should be administered alternately with that medicine,
according to the circumstances.)
ARSENICUM, frequently in cases in which acon. appears to be
indicated, without, however, being sufficient, and especially if
there is: Great anguish, with palpitation of the heart, sleep-
lessness, dry, burning heat, and an obligation to leave the bed;
-or else, after the action of Chin. arn. fer. in cases of violent
hæmorrhage ;—or again, after hyos. in hæmoptysis of drunk-
ards. (Ipec. n-vom. or sulph. is sometimes suitable after arsen.
especially in chronic hæmoptysis.)
BELLADONNA, if there is: Continued tickling in the throat,
with want to cough, and aggravation of the hæmorrhage from
the cough; sensation as if the chest were filled with blood,
with pressive or shooting pains, aggravated by movement.
CARBO VEG. if there is: Violent burning pain in the chest,
which continues, after the hæmorrhage, especially in per-
sons who are susceptible to every change of weather, or who
have been subjected to abuse of mercury.
CHINA, if the expectoration of blood takes place in conse-
quence of a violent cough, which was at first hollow, dry and
painful, with taste of blood in the mouth; especially if there is,

at the same time, shivering alternately with flushes of heat;
great weakness, with continued desire to remain lying down,
transient perspiration, trembling, cloudiness of sight or bewil-
derment of the head;-or else, if the patient has lost much
blood already, and has become pale and cold, with fainting fits,
and convulsive twitchings of the hands and muscles of the face.
(Fer. or arn. or else, ars. is often suitable, especially in this last
case, after chin.)
DULCAMARA, if there is: Continued tickling in the larynx,
with want to cough; expectoration of bright red blood, with
aggravation during repose; especially if the hæmorrhage is
caused by taking cold, or if a loose cough has existed for a
long time.
FERRUM, if the expectoration takes place from a slight tussicu-
lation, while the blood is scanty, bright-red and perfectly pure,
with pain between the shoulder-blades, dyspnæa, especially at
night, inability to remain seated, amelioration from movement,
but, however, with frequent desire to lie down, and great fa-
tigue, especially after talking. (It is particularly suitable in
lean persons, with a yellowish complexion, and when the sleep
is disturbed at night; or else after chin. in severe cases.)
HYOSCYAMUS, if the expectoration of blood is preceded by a
dry cough, which manifests itself especially at night, and does
not permit one to remain lying down; with frequent waking
with a start; or else in drunkards, especially if op. or n-vom. is
insufficient in this case. (In the same case, ars. will sometimes
also be suitable after hyos.
IGNATIA, especially if after the cure of the hæmorrhage itself,
the patient still continues weak, with irascibility and pee-
vishness.
IPECACUANHA, often after acon. if after the salutary action of
this medicine there still remain: Taste of blood in the mouth,
frequent tussiculation, with expectoration of mucus streaked
with blood, nausea and weakness; or else after ars. if the salu-
tary action of this medicine is not permanent, and if there is
renewed aggravation.
Nux VOм. often after ipec. or ars. or else (especially in drunk-
ards), after op. and in general if there is: Excessive tickling in
the chest, with cough, which fatigues the head principally; ag-
gravation of the state towards the morning, especially in per-
sons of a lively and choleric temperament, or if the hæmorrhage
manifests itself in consequence of the suppression of a hæmorr-
hoidal discharge, a fit of passion, or taking cold. (In this last
case, sulf. will often be suitable after n-vom. In drunkards, on
the contrary, the proper medicine will be hyos. or ars.
OPIUM, often in the most important cases, especially in per-
s.)
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.

sons addicted to spirituous liquors, or if there are: Expectoration
of thick and frothy blood; aggravation of the cough after swal-
lowing; choking or dyspnea and anguish, burning in the heart,
trembling of the arms, and sometimes also weakness of the
voice; sleepiness and anxious starts; coldness, especially of the
extremities, or heat, especially in the chest and trunk. (N-vom.
is often suitable after op.)
PULSATILLA, especially in obstinate cases, with expectoration
of black and coagulated blood; anxiety and shivering, especially
in the evening, or at night; sensation of great weakness, pain
in the lower part of the chest; sensation of insipidity or soft-
ness in the stomach, especially in timid and phlegmatic per-
sons, who are disposed to shed tears; or else, if the hæmorr-
hage manifests itself in consequence of suppression of the
catamenia. (In this last case, cocc. will be also sometimes found
very beneficial.)
RHUS, if the blood is bright-red, with aggravation of the hæ-
morrhage from every contradiction or the least moral emotion;
irascibility, restlessness, timidity; decided tickling or crawling
in the chest.
SULPHUR, often after n-vom. especially in persons subject to
hæmorrhoids, or after ars. to prevent a relapse.

lowing medicines may be administered with the greatest
success: Ars. camph. chin. ipec. or again: Carb-v. graph. puls.

krcos. laur. led. natr-m. nitr. n-mos. puls. sen. zinc.
For ACUTE phthisis, such as sometimes manifests itself in
consequence of violent and badly cured pneumonia, or in con-
sequence of profuse pulmonary hemorrhage, the most efficacious
medicines are: Chin. fer. hep. lach. lyc. merc. sulph. or again
perhaps Dros. dulc. laur. led. puls.
Purulent phthisis which sometimes succeeds an ABUSE OF
MERCURY, requires in preference: Carb-v. guaj. hep. lach. nitr-
ac. sulph. or again: Calc.? chin.? dulc.? lyc.? sil.?
That of SCULPTORS: Calc. hep. lyc. sil. or again: Lach.?
sulph.?
For TUBERCULAR phthisis, or PHTHISIS, properly so called,
the best medicines are in general: Ars. calc. carb-v. hep. kal.
lach. lyc. merc. nitr-ac. phos. samb. sulph. or again: Am-c. arn.
bell. bry. dulc. hyos. natr. natr-m. nitr. n-mos. stann.
Against the symptoms of the FIRST STAGE, when the tu-
bercles are still in a crude state, or when they begin to be in-
flamed and soft, great benefit will be often derived from: Am-c.
calc. carb-v. lyc. phos. nitr-ac. sulph. or else again: Acon. arn.
ars. bell. dulc. fer. hyos. kal. merc. nitr. stann. sulph-ac.
In the SECOND stage of tubercular phthisis, that of PURU-
LENT expectoration, the most serviceable medicines are: Calc.
carb-v. hep. kal. lach. lyc. phos. samb. sulph. or again: Chin. con.
dulc. fer. merc. nitr-ac. zinc.
With regard to the phthisis, which is called Mucous or PI-
TUITOUS, or BLENORRHEA OF THE LUNGS, the most beneficial
medicines are: Dulc. hep. lach. merc. sen. sep. stann. sulph.
or again: Ars. calc. carb-v. chin. lyc. phos. puls. sil. zinc.
(Compare also pituitous Asthma).
As to the particular indications by which the choice of the
medicines is to be regulated, a preference may be given to:
ACONITUM, often at the commencement of the treatment of
incipient phthisis, and especially if there is frequent congestion
in the chest, with short cough, hæmoptysis, and disposition
to pulmonary inflammation.
AMMONIUM, if the expectoration is slimy and sanguinolent,
and if there is excessive oppression at the chest, with shortness
of breath.
BELLADONNA, especially in scrofulous children, with noc-
turnal cough, short breath and rattling of mucus; or in young
girls at the critical age. (Hep. lach. phos. or sil. is often suit-
able after bell.)
CALCAREA is one of the principal medicines in the stage of
purulent expectoration, especially after the action of sulph. or of
SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS.
565
nitr-ac. or else in the first stage, especially in young plethoric
persons, subject to sanguineous congestion, to bleeding at the
nose, &c. and also in young girls who have the catamenia too
profusely and too frequently. (Lyc. or sil. or nitr-ac. is sometimes
suitable after calc.)
CARBO-VEG. especially if the cough is violent, spasmodic, at
one time dry and painful, at another with expectoration of
puriform mucus, mixed, or not, with tubercular matter.
CHINA, especially if the patient has had frequent attacks of
pulmonary hæmorrhage, or if there is debility from sanguineous
evacuations. (In this case, fer. is often suitable after chin.)
DULCAMARA, especially if there is a strong tendency to take
cold, or if frequent colds have contributed to develop the com-
plaint in too rapid a manner.
FERRUM, often if the complaint has exhibited itself in con-
sequence of pneumonia, or neglected catarrh, and especially if
there is, besides the phthisical symptoms, dyspnæa, with vo-
miting of food, or lienteria. (In this latter case, chin. will be
often also of great benefit).
HEPAR, especially in children and scrofulous young people,
in the first stage of the disease, frequently after bell. or alter-
nately with merc. or sil.
KALI CARB. a medicine no less important than calc. against
both incipient phthisis and confirmed phthisis, especially after the
action of nitr-ac. or sil.
LACHESIS, especially after: Bell. hep. sil. or alternately with
these medicines.
LYCOPODIUM, is one of the most powerful medicines, if in
consequence of violent or neglected pneumonia, there appears
a hectic cough, with purulent expectoration; or else against
the symptoms of tubercular phthisis, with hæmoptysis. (It
is often suitable after Calc. sil. phos. or alternately with these
medicines).
NITRI ACIDUM, especially at the commencement of the com-
plaint, before kal. has been administered, and principally in
dark persons, who have a slight tinge of yellow in their com-
plexion, and frequent relaxation of the abdomen.
PHOSPHORUS is a medicine no less important than Calc. kal.
sil. both against incipient phthisis and confirmed phthisis, espe-
cially in meagre and fair persons of tall stature and strongly
disposed to coition, and also in children, and especially in
young girls of a delicate constitution, with dry, short cough,
short breath, decided emaciation, disposition to diarrhea or
perspiration, &c. (It is particularly suitable after bell. or alter-
nately with lyc. sil.
566
CHAP. XXII. CHEST AND HEART.
SAMBUCUS, especially if the disease is accompanied by pro-
fuse, colliquative perspiration.
SILICEA, under almost the same conditions as phos. and in
most cases of incipient or confirmed phthisis, especially after:
Lyc. phos. hep. or calc.
STANNUM is by no means suitable when the expectoration is
evidently purulent; but if, in the first stage of phthisis, there
is a profuse expectoration of mucus, or if neglected catarrhs
threaten to turn to phthisis, this medicine should be adminis-
tered in the first place.
SULPHUR, not only in many cases of purulent phthisis, brought
on by violent pneumonia, but often also against tubercular
phthisis, during the period of purulent expectoration, and also
against the symptoms of incipient phthisis, provided that, in this
latter case, only one dose is administered for several weeks.
N.B. The attention of practitioners ought to be most care-
fully directed to the mode of administering the medicines in
cases of incipient phthisis. The surest means of avoiding the
bad consequences that may result from too large a dose, is to
administer invariably no more than a single dose for several
days, or even for several weeks. For the same dose of one
globule, which when taken at once, whether dry or in a spoon-
ful of liquid, may frequently exercise and exhibit only an ordi
nary effect, acquires from the mere circumstance of repetition,
an action infinitely more strong and decided, when it is diluted
in water, and one spoonful is taken every day.
PLEURISY. The principal medicine against this complaint is
acon. and in most cases, this remedy alone will be sufficient to
accomplish a complete cure, especially if some globules (18th,
24th, 30th) are dissolved in eight ounces of water, and a
spoonful of this dilution is taken every three hours, until there
is an evident diminution of the febrile symptoms, especially
of the thirst and heat, and until the cough becomes a little
moist.
If, after the diminution of the febrile symptoms, there still
remain sharp pains in the side, and if the cure makes no
progress, bry. should be administered in a dose of three globules
(12th or 30th) in a spoonful of coffee (café d'eau), and this
dose should be allowed to act, unless a new aggravation re-
quires a new dose at the end of 36, 48, or 72 hours.
Lastly, when the pain has entirely disappeared under the
influence of bry. if the side still continues sensitive to the im-
pression of the air and to movement, though the patient may
have resumed his usual occupations, sulph. will, in most cases,
remove the last traces of the complaint.
SECT. 1. CLINICAL REMARKS.
567
In some more complicated cases, in which: Acon. bry. and
sulph. are insufficient, recourse may be had to: Chin. kal. lach.
n-vom. squill. and perhaps also: Arn. gran.?
See also PNEUMONIA and PLEURODYNIA.
PLEURODYNIA.-The principal medicine against this rheumatic
affection is arn. and in the majority of cases, it will be sufficient
to administer a single dose in order to obtain a complete cure.
If, however, cases should occur in which arn. proves insuf-
ficient bry. n-vom. or puls. should be then preferred.-And
perhaps, sabad. also may be sometimes of great service.
See, moreover, also RHEUMATISM, Chap. 1.
PNEUMONIA.—The best medicines are in general: Acon. bry.
cann. chin. phos. rhus. squill. sulph.
Or else Bell. lach. merc. puls. sen. sulph.
:
Or else again: Ars. bell. canth. nitr. n-vom. op. phos-ac.
sabad. sep. tart. verat.
In the first STAGE of pneumonia, that of SPLENIZATION, the
principal medicine is acon. which must be administered as di-
rected in the article PLEURISY, until the feverish symptoms,
and especially the thirst and heat are perceptibly diminished.
When the fever has abated under the influence of acon. the
best medicine to employ is bry. and in most cases, this medicine
may be also administered in a solution of water, by continuing
to give it till the respiration becomes more free, and the expec-
toration more healthy.
Lastly, if, after the patient has recovered under the influence
of bry. so far as to be able to attend to his usual occupations,
there still remains dulness on percussion, with oppres-
sion and cough, the most eligible medicines are: Phos. sulph.
or again: Chin. lach. lyc. sil.
In cases in which the pneumonia has already reached the
SECOND stage, the red HEPATIZATION, before it was possible
to enter on a course of treatment, acon. and bry. will often be
of great service; but the principal medicine at this period is
sulph. administered in a dose of from 3 to 6 globules (alcoholic
tincture), dissolved in eight ounces of water, and of this so-
lution a spoonful is to be taken every three hours.
At this period: Lach. lyc. phos. will be often found very
beneficial; and in several cases, it will be adviseable, after the
action of sulph. to have recourse to one or other of these medi-
cines, administered in one dose of 3 or 4 globules in a spoonful
of coffee (café d'eau), and allowed to exhaust its action without
being repeated.
For the pneumonia which is called ADYNAMIC (Pneumonia
notha), such as sometimes occurs in aged persons, with a ten-
dency to degenerate to paralysis of the lungs, the medicine that
568
CHAP. XXII. CHEST AND HEART.
ought to be first employed is acon. but as soon as a new aggra-
vation follows the administration of this medicine, recourse must
be had to merc.
If merc. does good, without however being sufficient, bell.
will frequently be the most suitable medicine, if there remains
spasmodic constriction in the chest, with dry tussiculation; or
else cham. if the respiration continues to be wheezing. N-vom.
is often suitable after cham.
In cases in which merc. produces no change, the most suit-
able medicine is ipec. especially if the respiration is anxious and
rapid; or else verat. if the extremities become cold, with con-
striction of the chest and great anguish; or again, ars. if the
patient becomes weaker every day, with paroxysms of suffoca-
tion.
For TYPHOID pneumonia, the medicine to be employed in
the first place, is op. after which, arn. is sometimes suitable.
If, after the use of these two medicines, there is still no
change, verat. (from 2 to 3 doses) will be often of great utility,
or else ars. especially if the weakness and rattling increase.
Benefit will often be also derived from: Bry. and rhus. or
else: Ipec. and ars. or veratr. and ars. administered alter-
nately.
If the amelioration takes place without being permanent,
sulph, may be then beneficially administered, after which it will
be proper to return to whichever of the medicines has previously
proved most efficacious.
If there is Decubitus, or excoriation from constantly lying
down, and if the wounds become gangrened, chin. or ars.
should be employed.
If cloudiness of sight manifests itself, a preference must be
given to Bell. and if the strength diminishes daily, natr-m.
will sometimes be very beneficial.
Lastly, with respect to the SEQUELE of pneumonia, if symp-
toms of incipient phthisis show themselves, or if the pneumonia
threatens to become chronic, especially when there is reason
to suspect the existence of tubercles, the best medicines are :
Sulph, or else: Am-c. lach. lyc. phos. or again: Ars. calc. hep.
kal. nitr.? nitr-ac. stann. sulph-ac.
If there is purulent expectoration in consequence of pneu-
monia: Chin. fer. hep. lach. lyc. merc. sulph. or else: Dros.
dulc. laur. led. puls. or else again: Bell.? hyos.? phos-ac.?
Besides the medicines that have been just cited against the
different kinds of pneumonia, a preference may sometimes be
given to:
ARNICA, if the pneumonia is the consequence of a mechanical
injury.
SECT. 2. RESPIRATION..
569
ARSENICUM, if offensive expectoration of a dirty colour, ex-
cites apprehension of gangrene in the lungs, and if chin. or
lach. is insufficient against that state.
CANNABIS, if the pneumonia is complicated with diseases of
the heart and large blood-vessels, or if there are, besides the
symptoms of pneumonia, greenish vomiting and delirium.
CAPSICUM, if there is bronchitis at the same time, especially
in phlegmatic, dull persons, of a susceptible character.
CHINA, if the patient has previously lost much blood, either
by sanguinolent evacuations, or by violent pulmonary hæmor-
rhage; or if there are bilious symptoms, or else precursors of
gangrene in the lungs.
MERCURIUS is one of the principal medicines if the pneu-
monia is complicated with bronchitis, especially in persons
disposed to mucous discharges, or if there is profuse expecto-
ration of viscous and sanguinolent mucus.
NUX-VOM. if there is at the same time bronchial catarrh, if the
pneumonia manifests itself in drunkards, or in persons subject to
hæmorrhoids.
PHOSPHORUS, frequently after n-vom. in cases in which the
pneumonia is accompanied by bronchial catarrh, with dry
cough, or else in pneumonia which manifests itself during the
progress of tubercular phthisis. (In this latter case, kal. and
lyc. will often also be very useful).
PULSATILLA, if the pneumonia shows itself during the pro-
gress of morbilli, or in consequence of obstinate bronchial ca-
tarrh, or else again from suppressed catamenia.
SQUILLA, if the pneumonia is accompanied by gastric symp-
toms, or if it has been treated by sanguineous evacuations, and
if, in this latter case, chin. has not been sufficient; or else if
there is, from the commencement a profuse expectoration of
mucus.

AFFECTIONS OF THE BACK, LOINS,
NAPE OF THE NECK AND NECK.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
GOITRE.-The medicines which have hitherto been employed
with most success are: Am-c. calc. caus. iod. lyc. natr. natr-m.
spong. staph.
LOINS, SMALL OF THE BACK (Pains in the).-See NOTALGIA.
LUMBAGO.—The best medicines are: Bry. n-vom. puls. rhus.
sulph.-See RHEUMATISM, Chap. I.
MARASMUS DORSALIS, TABES DORSALIS.-We do not as yet
possess any certain and authentic information to regulate the
cure of this disease; but we have every reason to believe that
when the complaint is not too far advanced, great benefit will be
frequently derived from: Calc. cocc. n-vom. sulph.
MYELETIS, or inflammation of the spinal marrow. In the ma-
jority of cases, recourse may be had to: Acon. bell. bry. cocc.
dulc. or again to: Ars. dig. ign. puls. verat.
If the fever is intense, with excessive heat, agitation and
thirst, Acon. is to be preferred, wherever the seat of the inflam-
mation may be.
If the inflammation occupies particularly the LowER part of
the vertebræ : Bry, cocc. n-vom. are most suitable: or perhaps
also: Rhus.
If on the contrary, the CHEST is particularly attacked, with
paroxysms of anguish, palpitation of the heart, &c. the best
medicines will be: Ars. dig. puls.
If the ABDOMEN is principally affected, with coldness and
spasms in the abdomen, the most suitable medicines are: Cocc.
ign. n-vom. verat.
In cases in which the UPPER part of the spinal marrow is the
chief seat of the disease, bellad. should be preferred, or perhaps
again: Dulc.
One case of myelitis, which was a sequela of measles, with

excessive disposition of the parts affected to exudation, was per-
ceptibly ameliorated by dulc.
NOTALGIA, PAIN IN THE BACK, PAIN IN THE LOINS, Rigidity
of the nape of the neck, &c. See and Compare: RHEUMATISM,
HÆMORRHOIDS, LUMBAGO, MYELITIS, NEURALGIA, &c. in their
respective chapters.
PSOITIS.-The most eligible medicines are: Acon. bry. n-vom.
puls. rhus. staph. &c. (See Chap. I, RHEUMATISM.)
RACHITIS.-See Chap. I, same word.
SCIATICA.-A preference may be given to: Acon. ars. bry.
cham. ign. (coff. coloc.) n-vom. puls. rhus. staph. &c. See Chap.
I, NEURALGIA, and Compare RHEUMATISM.
TABES DORSALIS.-See MARASMUS DORSALIS.

CHAPTER XXV.
AFFECTIONS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES.
SECTION 1.-CLINICAL REMARKS.
CALLOSITIES AND CORNS on the feet.-Against callosities on
the feet, which are caused only by a tight boot or shoe, it is
frequently sufficient to cut them out first, and then to apply
the tincture of arnica externally. In other cases, ant. taken
internally has been found beneficial.-See also Sect. 2, CORNS.
CHILBLAÏNS. See Chap. II, same word.
COXALGIA.—The most eligible medicines are, in general: Bell.
bry, calc, coloc. hep. merc. puls. rhus. sulph. or else again: Arg.
ars. asa. aur. canth. cham. dig. graph. kreos. lach. n-vom. sep.
staph.
For the details, See Chap. I, ARTHRITIS, NEURALGIA,
RHEUMATISM, &c. and Compare COXARTHROCACE, in this
Chapter.
COXARTHROCACE (Morbus Coxarius).-The principal medi-
cine is Coloc. but perhaps benefit may be also derived from:
Bell. calc. hep. lach. merc. phos-ac. rhus. sil. sulph.
ERYSIPELAS IN THE FEET.-The best medicines against inflam-
matory erysipelatous swelling of the instep are: Arn. bry. puls.
rhus
GONITIS, or inflammation of the knee.-LYMPHATIC or scrofu-
lous enlargement of the knee requires in preference: Calc. and
sulph. or again: Arn. ars. iod. lyc. sil.
For ARTHRITIC inflammation, the principal medicines are:
Arn. bry. chin. cocc. lyc. n-vom. sulph.
614
CHAP. XXV. LOWER EXTREMITIES.
If there is SUPPURATION, a preference may be given to:
Merc. sil. or again: Bell. hep. sulph.
If there is SEROUS infiltration (hydarthra): Sulph. or again :
Calc. iod. merc. sil.
GOUT IN THE FEET.-The most eligible medicines are: Arn. ars.
bry. calc. sabin. sulph.-And sometimes also, perhaps: Ambr.
am-c. am-m. cocc. led. may be found to be indicated.-See also,
Chap. I, ARTHRITIS.
LAMÈNESS (Spontaneous).—At the commencement of the com-
plaint, Merc. is frequently the most suitable medicine, or else
Bella. or these two medicines may be administered alternately.
If these fail, a preference may be given to Rhus. or to: Calc.
coloc. lyc. puls. sulph. zinc.
See also COXALGIA and COXARTHROCACE.
CEDEMA OF THE FEET.-If this affection occurs without any
other perceptible injury in the rest of the organism, the most
suitable medicines are: Ars. chin. fer. kal. lyc. merc. phos. puls.
rhus. sulph.
If it manifests itself after considerable loss of blood, the best
medicine is chin. or else ars. or fer.
After ABUSE OF CINCHONA, principally Fer. or ars. or also :
Puls. sulph.
PARALYSIS of the lower extremities.-A preference may be
given to Bry. cocc. natr-m. n-vom. oleand. op. sep. sil, stann.
sulph.-See also Sect. 2, same word.
PODAGRA.-See GOUT IN THE FEET.
PSOITIS.—See Chap. XXIII.
SCIATICA. See Chap. XXIII.
ULCERS IN THE LEGS.-The chronic ulcers which are fre-
quently found in the legs of cachetic, dirty, or unhealthy
subjects, require in preference: Ars. lach. sil sulph. or again:
Calc. carb-v. graph. ipec. lyc. mur-ac. natr. phos-ac. ruta.
VARICES.-See Chap. II.
WHITE SWELLING.-As authors are by no means agreed
respecting the precise meaning of the expression white swelling,
we think it adviseable to state that it is here employed to desig-
nate painful leucophlegmasia, or lymphatic enlargement of the
thighs (or of the knees only).-The most eligible medicines
against this affection are: Arn. bell. rhus. or again: Acon. ars.
calc. iod. lyc. merc. n-vom. puls. sil. sulph.

CHAPTER XXVI.
POISONS AND MEDICINAL MALADIES.
NOTE.
In all cases of poisoning, two objects ought to be especially
pursued, namely;
1.—To eradicate from the system that substance, the inges-
tion of, or contact with which has produced the injury, or to
neutralize immediately the pathogenic action.
2. To remedy the consecutive effects of the poison, or to
cure the morbid affections which it engendered by its admission
into the system.
With respect to the latter of these objects, the removal of
the consecutive affections may be always accomplished by
homœopathic agency. In several cases of slight or slow poi-
soning, from weak doses of a very powerful substance, homœo-
pathic medicines will frequently succeed better than any other
means, both in repelling the sequela and in neutralizing the
pathogenic action of the deleterious drug. But in cases in
which the injury is occasioned by strong doses, which must be
ejected from the system as speedily as possible, or paralyzed in
636
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
their effects, it will be necessary to have recourse to suitable
means for the attainment of this essential end.
This necessity for resorting in this case to other means be-
sides homœopathic remedies, is not to be regarded as a proof of
the insufficiency of this science for the cure of diseases, since in
the cases cited, none of these means are employed for the treat-
ment of the disease itself, but merely to remove the occasional
cause; in the same way, for instance, that a foreign body is ex-
tracted from the eye before the treatment is directed against
the inflammation which that body has produced. The homoeo-
pathic practitioner should never lose sight of this truth, and
while he neglects nothing which the circumstances may require,
he must carefully select the simplest means, and those that are
least likely to interfere with the homoeopathic treatment by
which they are to be succeeded.
Taking advantage of the admirable observations of Dr. He-
ring, of Philadelphia, on the treatment of injuries arising from
poisons, we present, in the first section of this chapter, a cur-
sory view of the most infallible antidotes in the case of powerful
poisons; and in the second section, we set forth the particular
treatment required in various cases, according to the different
substances by which the mischief may have been occasioned.
We have also introduced medicinal maladies among these cases,
a proceeding which need, in our opinion, excite no surprise, as
these diseases are in their effects, perfectly similar to the other
cases that arise from the operation of slow poisons.
SECTION 1.-CURSORY SKETCH OF THE ANTIDOTES
Which are most indispensable against the injurious effects pro-
duced by powerful poisons.
ACID (CITRIC), and other ACIDS. See VINegar.
ALMONDS, OIL OF SWEET ALMONDS.-See Sect. 2, ACIDS.
COFFEE.—Strong black coffee, the grains of which have been
very slightly roasted, and which should be taken as hot as pos-
sible, is one of the most powerful remedies against a great num-
ber of poisons. It is, at all times, particularly suitable, if there
are: Drowsiness, intoxication and loss of consciousness, or demen-
tia, delirium, &c. in a word, against narcotic substances, such as
opium, nux-vomica, stramonium, narcotic mushrooms, sumach
venenosa, bitter almonds, hydrocyanic acid, and all substances
which contain belladonna, colocynth, valerian, hemlock, and cha-
SECT. 1. ANTIDOTES.
637
momile. In cases of poisoning by antimony, phosphorus, and
phosphoric acid, coffee is equally effectual.
CAMPHOR.-Camphor is the principal remedy in all cases of
poisoning by vegetable substances, especially those whose
action is corrosive, and also whenever the patient exhibits vomit-
ing, with diarrhæa, pale face, coldness in the extremities, and loss
of consciousness.
In accidents arising from venomous insects, especially can-
tharides, camphor is almost a specific, whether the insects have
been swallowed, or have introduced their venom through the
pores of the skin.
Against injuries caused by vermifuges, such as tobacco, bitter
almonds, and others which contain hydrocyanic acid, camphor is
no less efficacious.
It is equally beneficial against the consecutive affections
which result from poisoning by acids, salts, metals, phosphorus,
mushrooms, &c. and which remain after these substances have
been ejected by vomiting. (See VOMITING).
CHARCOAL.-See Sect. 2, MUSHROOMS.
IRON.-See Sect. 2, ARSENIC.
MAGNESIA.-See Sect. 2, ACIDS.
MILK.-Milk possesses the same qualities as oil and all oleagi-
nous substances; it is suitable, as an antidote, far less fre-
quently than is supposed, and mucilaginous substances are
always preferable to it, when the object is to envelop the
poison.
Rich milk or cream is suitable, in general, in all cases in
which oil is proper, and is injurious where oil would be hurtful.
Clotted (sour) milk, on the contrary, is applicable or preju-
dicial in the same cases as vinegar.
MUCILAGE.—Mucilaginous potions, or else clysters prepared
from them, are preferable against alkaline substances, especially
when they are administered alternately with vinegar.
NITRE (SPIRIT OF).-See Sect. 2, ALKALIES and ANIMAL sub-
stances.
OIL OF OLIVES.-This remedy is suitable in far fewer cases
than is generally supposed. It is ordinarily useless against
metallic poisons, and when administered as an antidote to arsenic,
it is even injurious.
Against the bad effects produced by cantharides, oil is the
most pernicious substance that can be employed. It is equally
so against dead venomous insects, or if their venom is introduced
into the eye. But when living insects have entered the ear, oil
may be used to facilitate their extraction.
Oil is most suitable in case of accidents occasioned by corro-
638
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
sive acids, such as nitric, sulphuric, &c. acid. It may be often
also administered alternately with vinegar against alkaline sub-
stances, and it will sometimes be no less serviceable against the
bad effects of mushrooms.
POTASS.-See Sect. 2, ACIDS.
SALT (KITCHEN-).-See Nitrate of silver (Nitras argenti,
Lunar caustic), and ENVENOMEd wounds.
SOAP.—White household soap, dissolved in four times as much
boiling water, and taken internally, is one of the best remedies
in many cases of poisoning. A coffee-cup of this preparation
may be administered every two, three, or four minutes, accord-
ing to circumstances, and in all cases in which white of egg is
indicated without being sufficient.
Soap-water is suitable principally in cases of poisoning by
metallic substances, and especially against arsenic, lead, &c.
It is equally efficacious against corrosive acids, such as sulphuric
acid, nitric acid, &c. alum, plants with corrosive sap, castor oil
(Oleum ricini), &c.
Soap-water is injurious in case of poisoning by alkaline sub-
stances, such as lixivium, lapis infernalis (Caustic potassa),
potassa, soda, sub-carbonate of potass, oil of tartar, muriate of am-
monia, sub-carbonate of ammonia, slack lime, or quick lime,
barytu, &c.
SODA.-See Sect. 2, ACIDS.
STARCH.-See Sect. 2, IODINE.
SUGAR.—L'eau sucré (sugar and water), is one of the most
efficacious remedies in most cases; but when injury is sus-
tained from mineral acids or alkaline substances it is more
adviseable to administer the direct antidotes first, although sugar
can at no time be injurious.
In case of poisoning by metallic substances, several sorts of
colours, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, &c. sugar is
preferable to any other means, and it is only when the patient has
been relieved by sugar, that white of egg, or soap-water can be
administered alternately with it. Sugar is often also one of the
most efficacious antidotes against the poisonous effects of arsenic
and vegetables with corrosive juice.
SULPHATE OF SODA.-See Sect. 2, ALKALIES.
TEA OF CHINA.-Sect. 2, SEBACIC ACID and HONEY.
VINEGAR.-Vinegar is suitable especially against alkaline sub-
stances; but it is injurious in cases of poisoning by mineral
acids, vegetables with corrosive sap, arsenic, and a great num-
ber of salts.
In many cases, it may be also successfully administered
against the bad consequences that result from aconitum, opium,
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
639

narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, stramonium, carbonic
gas, hepar sulphuris, muscles, and venomous poisons, and also
sebacic acid.
Vinegar may be administered in the form of a potion, or else,
if necessary, as a clyster, and may be used alternately with mu-
cilaginous substances.
It is important to observe that the vinegar which is employed
must be made from wine or beer, and must be as pure as pos-
sible. The vinegar which is made from wood (pyroligneous
acid) is itself a poison.
VOMITING. — The homœopathic physician should by no
means overlook the necessity which exists for ejecting, as
speedily as possible, the poisonous substances, which by re-
maining in the stomach, may endanger or destroy life; but
instead of employing for this purpose, the substances called
emetics in the old school, he must strive to accomplish his
object by means which exercise no action on the system, except
that of exciting the nerves of the stomach, &c. so as to pro-
duce rapid vomiting.
These means are:
1.—To administer tepid water in as large quantities and as
often as possible.
2.-To tickle the throat with the end of a feather, or some-
thing similar; or else, if that fails:
3.—To place snuff or mustard, mixed with salt, on the tongue ;
or again, if none of these means succeed :
4.—To administer injections of tobacco-smoke, introducing the
smoke into the anus, by means of a tobacco-pipe.
WHITE OF EGG.-White of egg, dissolved in a suitable quan-
tity of water, and taken in the form of a potion, is one of the
most efficacious remedies against poisoning by metallic sub-
stances, and principally against corrosive sublimate, mercury,
verdigris, tin, lead, sulphuric acid, especially if the patient ex-
periences violent pains in the stomach or abdomen, with urgent
and violent desire to evacuate, or diarrhea, with pain in the
anus.
SECTION 2.-POISONS
And Medicinal Maladies.
N.B. In all aggravated cases of poisoning, the first care of
the physician must be to provoke VOMITING (See this word,
640
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
Sect. 1), and afterwards to remedy the most alarming effects
by means of suitable antidotes.
In cases in which the poison has been unconsciously imbibed,
recourse must be had to white of egg, if there are violent pains ;
or to coffee if there are narcotic effects.
In cases in which it is known that poison has been taken,
though the precise substance cannot be ascertained; if the
poison is a metal, an acid, or an alkali, &c. See in this section :
ACIDS, ALKALIES, METALS, &c.
ACID (HYDROCYANIC).-The best antidote is liquid ammonia,
which should be inspired as soon as possible, but only at a
distance, or else one drop should be dissolved in 12 oz. of
water, and a tea-spoonful of this mixture should be taken every
five minutes. Then, as soon as it can be prepared, black
coffee should be administered in large quantities, both as a
potion and as a clyster.
The vapour of vinegar or camphor will be often also very
beneficial.
When the first alarming symptoms have dissappeared: Coff.
or ipec. or else n-vom. may be employed against the remaining
effects.
ACIDS (MINERAL AND CORROSIVE).-The best antidotes
in serious cases are:-1. Soap-water in large quantities;
2. Magnesia, a dessert-spoonful dissolved in a cup of water,
and taken every time that the vomiting or pain is renewed ;-
3. Chalk, dissolved in water;-5. Potass or soda (du commerce),
in a dose of from 10 to 15 centigrammes dissolved in from 12
to 16 oz. of water.
When the patient has vomited sufficiently, mucilaginous
drinks may be administered alternately with coff. or op.
For the affections which remain after the first alarming
symptoms have disappeared, puls. may be administered if the
poisoning is the result of sulphuric acid;-bry. if it is caused
by muriatic acid ;-hep. if by nitric acid;-coff. if by phos-
phoric acid;-acon. against other acids, and especially vinegar
(from wood).
When corrosive acids have entered the eye, the best remedy
is oil of sweet almonds, or fresh butter, without any mixture of
salt. Whenever a burn is inflicted on the skin by acids, soap-
water applied externally is the best of all remedies, or a solu-
tion of caus. with water (tinc. fort.), which is also to be used
externally.
ACID (NITRIC).-See MINEral acids.
ACID (PHOSPHORIC).-See MINERAL ACIDS.
ACID (SEBACIC.)-The best remedy against this formidable
poison, which sometimes develops itself in hogslard badly pre-
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
641
pared, is vinegar diluted with an equal quantity of water, and
applied both internally as a potion, and externally as a lotion,
or else used as a gargle.
The juice of a lemon may be substituted for vinegar, and if
the patient dislikes acids, it may be administered alternately
with sugar, or else with coffee (café à l'eau), or in preference
to either, with strong, black tea.
If the dryness of the throat yields not to these remedies, and
if even the injection of mucilaginous substances produces no
alvine evacuation, a dose of bry. will be often of great service,
and this medicine may be repeated every time that the bene-
ficial effects which it has produced are succeeded by fresh ag-
gravation.
The affections which remain after bry. has been administered,
often yield to phos-ac. and if there is paralysis or atrophy, ars.
or kreos. ought to be preferred.
ACID (SULPHURIC).-See MINERAL ACIDS.
ALKALIES.-The best antidotes against alkaline substances are:
-1. Vinegar, two dessert-spoonsful mixed with from 8 to
12 oz. of water, and a glassful taken every quarter of an hour;
-2. Lemon juice, or other vegetable acids, but sufficiently
attenuated; -3. Sour milk;-4. Mucilaginous drinks and
clysters.
In case of poisoning by baryta, pure vinegar is prejudicial,
but sulphate of soda (Glauber's salts), dissolved in vinegar and
diluted with water, will often be very beneficial. When the
first alarming symptoms have disappeared, camph. or nitr-sp. may
be inspired.
In case of poisoning by potass, the sequelae often yield to coff.
or to carb-v. and when the injury is caused by ammonia to
hep.
ALCOHOL and ETHER.-In most cases it will be sufficient to
administer milk and mucilaginous drinks, or else some drops of
ammonia dissolved in a glass of l'eau sucré, (sugar and water),
and taken a tea-spoonful at a time.
If the amelioration does not appear shortly after taking
ammonia, n-vom. must be administered, and if that fails, black
coffee.
ALMONDS (BITTER), and other fruits which contain HYDRO-
CYANIC ACID. The principal antidote is black coffee taken in
large quantities, or else if the case is much aggravated, liquid
ammonia, which must be inhaled by gentle olfaction, or some
drops of it must be dissolved in a glass of water, and a tea-
spoonful of the mixture must be taken every 10 or 15 minutes.
ALUM.-Soap-water or l'eau sucré, so as to provoke vomiting :
and afterwards, puls. or verat.
642
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
AMMONIA (Salt of), and NITRATE OF POTASS.-Tepid water,
or water in which fresh butter (without salt), has been melted,
taken internally till it produces copious vomiting; and then
mucilaginous drinks swallowed in large quantities.
ANIMAL substances.-For venomous INSECTS, CANTHARIDES,
poisonous HONEY, MUSCLES, poisonous FISH, SEBACIC ACID,
ANTHRAX, &c. (See these words).
If the venom of Toads, or other animals of this kind is intro-
duced into the eye, the principal medicine is acon. If this
venom has entered the stomach, pulverized charcoal mixed with
milk or oil must be taken; and if serious consequences exhibit
themselves, the spirit of nitre must be inhaled by olfaction. At
a later period, ars. will be often suitable.
Against the bad effects caused by contact with the GLANDERS
of horses, the best medicine is phos-ac. or else ars.-Afterwards,
sulph. or calc. will sometimes be more suitable.
ANTHRAX.-See Chap. II, Anthrax.
ARSENIC.-The best medicines in serious cases are:-Soap-
water;—2. White of egg, dissolved in water and taken as a
drink ;—3. L'eau sucré ;-4. Milk. Vinegar is perfectly use-
less; oil is even pernicious.
The tritoxide of nitrate of iron diluted in sugar and water
(l'eau sucré) will often be found very beneficial. If this pre-
paration cannot be immediately procured, the rust may be sub-
stituted for it.
When the first alarming symptoms have disappeared, some
doses of ipec. will often do much good. Chin. is some-
times suitable after ipec. especially if the patient still retains
great irritability, with agitated sleep and feverish movement
at night; —or else n-vom. if he is worse during the day, espe-
cially after sleeping, with constipation, or else with loose,
slimy evacuations; or again: verat. if after the action of ipec.
there still remain frequent attacks of nausea, with vomit-
ing, and heat, or coldness in the body, with great weak-
ness.
If the felt of hats has been dressed in a preparation of arsenic,
and if from not being sufficiently lined, they produce eruptions
on the forehead, or opthalmia, hep. is an antidote against these
affections.
Against affections caused by ABUSE OF ARSENIC AS A ME-
DICINE, the best remedies are: Chin. ipec. n-vom. verat.
ASA FOETIDA.-Chin. and merc. are most efficacious against
obstinate affections from the abuse of this medicine.
Caus. or
puls. may perhaps be sometimes suitable.
BITES.-See ENVENOMED WOUNDS.
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
643
CAMPHOR.-Black coffee till it produces vomiting; afterwards
op. one dose (12th, 3 globules) every hour, till an amelioration
takes place.
CANTHARIDES.-The principal medicine is camphor. It may
be administered by causing an alcoholic solution to be inhaled
by olfaction, or by rubbing the inside of the thighs or the loins
with the spirit of camphor, if there are nephritic pains, or cys-
titis,* &c.
If the poison has been introduced into the eye, an application
of white of egg, or of mucilaginous substances, will most readily
allay the violent pains, and these remedies may be also taken
internally as a potion, if the cantharides have been swallowed
and have caused burning pains in the stomach.
The patient
must not neglect to inhale camphor by olfaction at the same
time.
The less violent effects, which sometimes follow the abuse
of these insects as a blister, often yield to acon, or puls.
CARBONIC gas.-See DELETErious gases.
CATERPILLARS (VENOMOUS).—See INSECTS.
DELETERIOUS
CHAMOMILE.-The best medicines against the abuse of this
medicine, in infusion, are: Acon. cocc. coff. ign. n-vom. puls.
ACONITUM is especially suitable if there is: Fever, with heat
and tearing or drawing pains, ameliorated by movement.
COCCULUS, if, in women, chamomile has produced abdo-
minal, hysterical spasms, or if it has aggravated these when
they previously existed.
CHLORINE.-(Chlore).-See MINERAL ACIDS (Muriatic acid),
and DELETERIOUS GASES.
CINCHONA.-Quinine.-The best medicines against affections
caused by ABUSE OF CINCHONA, as a remedy, are: Arn. ars.
bell. calc. fer. ipec. merc. puls, verat. or again: Caps. carb-v.
cin. natr. natr-m. sep. sulph.
ARNICA is especially indicated when there are: Rheumatic
pains, heaviness, relaxation and pain in all the limbs as if they
were beaten; drawings all over the bones; excessive sensi-
tiveness of all the organs, aggravation of the pains from move-
ment, speech and noise.
ARSENICUM, if there are: Ulcers in the legs; dropsical af-
fections, or œdema of the feet, short cough, and shortness of
breath.
BELLADONNA, if there is: Congestion in the head, with heat
in the face, and frequent pains in the head, face and teeth;-
or else if there is icterus, and if merc. fails.
CALCAREA, if there are: Head-ache, otalgia, odontalgia and
pains in the limbs, especially if these affections manifest them-
644
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
selves in consequence of intermittent fever stopped by enormous
doses of cinchona, and if puls. has failed.
FERRUM, if there is oedematous swelling of the feet.
IPECACUANHA, in the majority of cases, at the commence-
ment of a cure. This medicine, when administered (6 glob.
6th) in a solution of water, of which three dessert-spoonsful a
day are given, will often remove the greater part of the affec-
tions.
MERCURIUS, if there is icterus, or other hepatic or bilious af-
fections.
PULSATILLA, if there is: Otalgia, odontalgia, cephalalgia
or pain in the limbs, especially if these affections appear in
consequence of intermittent fever, stopped by enormous doses of
cinchona.
VERATRUM, if there is: Coldness of the body or extremities,
with cold perspiration, constipation, or diarrhea.
In cases in which abuse of cinchona arises from a desire to
STOP AN INTERMITTENT FEVER, the best medicines are:
If the fever has been really stopped: Arn. ars. bell. calc.
carb-v. cin. fer. ipec. merc. puls. sulph.
If the fever still exists: Ipec. and afterwards: Ars. carb-v.
or else, but rarely: Arn. cin. verat. or again: Calc. bell. merc.
sulph.
See also in their respective chapters, the articles: INTER-
MITTENT FEVERS, HEPATITIS, SPLENITIS, and all the affections
that may be produced by an abuse of cinchona.
COLCHICUM.-The most efficacious medicines against affec-
tions caused by an abuse of this medicine, are: Cocc. n-vom.
and puls.
COPPER, VERDIGRIS, or other PREPARATIONS OF COPPER:
the best medicines are: 1. White of egg, or water mixed with al-
bumen;-2. Sugar or l'eau sucré;--3. Milk;-4. Mucilaginous
substances.
Filings of iron dissolved in vinegar, and mixed with gum-water,
have also been recommended as a very efficacious remedy.
CORROSIVE substances. For Corrosive acids, See MINERAL
and corrosive ACIDS. For the corrosive juices of some vege-
tables, such as euphorbia, &c. the best remedies are, if the patient
has swallowed them: Soap-water, milk, &c. taken as drink ;
if these substances have produced injuries on the skin: Soap-
water, and afterwards, brandy used as a lotion; if they have
entered into the eye: Oil of sweet almonds, milk, or fresh butter
(without salt).
FISH (POISONOUS).—See MUSCLES and fish.
GAROU.—See MEZEREON (Daphne).
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
645
GASES (DELETERIOUS).-With respect to the asphyxia produced
by the respiration of SULPHURETTED Hydrogen gas, the treat-
ment should commence by placing the patient in a proper
position, and applying the necessary mechanical assistance,
such as friction, &c. In the next place, the face should be
wetted with vinegar mixed with twice as much water, while a
sponge dipped in this water, or else in a solution of muriatic
acid is applied to the nose.
But when the asphyxia is so complete, that the patient does
not respire at all, recourse must be had in the first place to
mechanical aid, such as the inspiration of air, &c. taking care
at the same time that this operation is performed by a person
in the highest possible health. During the operation, the
person who performs it may facilitate and forward its success by
moistening the mouth of the patient from time to time with
vinegar, and when he begins to revive, some drops of vinegar,
or of muriatic acid diluted with a quantity of water may be admi-
nistered to him.
If the patient complains of cold after being resuscitated, and
if the vinegar no longer does good, or becomes repugnant, half
a cup of black coffee will often be very beneficial; but if the
patient feels heat, with great weakness, some drops of generous
wine will be more suitable.
In affections caused by carbonic gas, the first remedy to be
employed is also vinegar. When the patient has revived, one
dose of op may be administered, or else several doses, in cases
of necessity. If op. produces no good effect, or if, notwith-
standing the repetition of the doses, no favourable result follows,
it will be adviseable that a dose of bell. should be taken and
allowed to act for several days.
The exhalations of MUSHROOMS or FUNGI, which grow in
the wainscots of houses, produce effects similar to those caused
by carbonic gas, but usually less violent. The best remedy
against the bad effects of these exhalations is sulph-ac. (3rd),
diluted with 8 oz. of water and one spoonful taken every 3 or 4
hours, only one spoonful every day, according to circum-
stances.
Persons who are exposed to the vapour of MURIATIC ACID
ought to smoke tobacco, or to take from time to time a piece of
sugar saturated with brandy, rum, or spirits of wine.
With respect to the VAPOUR OF SULPHUR, or HYDROCYANIC
ACID, of ALKALINE substances, or MINERAL ACIDS, the same
means may be employed as those which have been recom-
mended against the substances themselves (vinegar, ammonia,
&c.), but care must be taken not to allow the vapour to be
inspired, except at a great distance, in order to avoid aggravating
the state of the patient. A tea-spoonful of a mixture of one
646
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
drop of these antidotes with from 8 to 12 oz. of water, may be
also administered from time to time.
GLANDERS of horses.-See MORVE.
HEPAR SULPHURIS.-Water mixed with a little vinegar, or
lemon-juice, oily or mucilaginous drinks, or clysters of the same
kind may be often administered with great success. If, not-
withstanding these means and the titillations exercised at the
same time on the gullet, there is no vomiting, a weak solution
of tartar emetic may be given.
When the patient has vomited sufficiently, a little vinegar
may be administered, or else a dose of bell. if vinegar is insuf-
ficient.
HONEY (POISONOUS). The principal remedy is camphor,
administered by olfaction and friction, at the same time that
the patient takes black coffee or tea, as hot as possible.
INSECTS (VENOMOUS).—The same treatment as that recom-
mended for poisoning by CANTHARIDES. (See that word).
Against inflammations which are occasioned by the hairs
of certain caterpillars getting under the skin, and which are
sometimes rather serious, the best remedy is the application of
bandages saturated with spirit of camphor.
For the STINGS of insects, See Chap. II, MECHANICAL IN-
JURIES.
IODINE.—The best remedies in serious cases of poisoning are :
1. Starch, mixed with water;-2. Starch-paste ;-3. Wheat
flour;-4. Mucilaginous drinks.
Against the sequelae, and also against affections occasioned
by the abuse of this substance, as a medicine, the most suitable
remedies are: Bell. followed by phos. or again: Ars. chin. coff.
hep. spong. sulph.
LEAD.-1. Sulphate of magnesia (Epsom salts), one dessert-
spoonful dissolved in half a pound of water and taken as a
potion-2. Sulphate of soda (Glauber's salts); -3. Soap-
water;-4. White of eggs;-5. Milk;-6. Mucilaginous drinks
or clysters.
Against the affections which remain after the use of these
remedies, the most suitable medicines are frequently: Alum.
bell. n-vom. op. plat. and these same medicines ought also to be
selected against the chronic affections which arise from the
ABUSE OF PLUMBUM, as a remedy.
LYCOPODIUM.-If by chance, the use of this substance as a
desiccative, has produced affections, and if olfaction of camphor
fails to remove them, puls. will often be suitable; or else n-vom.
if obstinate constipation follows: cham. if there are spasms or
convulsions; acon. if there is fever with heat and agitation.
MAGNESIA: CARBONATE, MURIATE, SULPHATE OF MAGNESIA.
The best medicines against the affections, caused by abuse of
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
647
this substance as a remedy, are: Arn. cham. coff. coloc. n-vom.
puls. rhab.
ARSENICUM is especially indicated, if there follow violent
burning pains, which are aggravated at night, and force the
patient to quit the bed.
CHAMOMILLA, if there is violent colic, with or without
diarrhæa.
COFFEA, if sleeplessness follows, with nervous excitability.
COLOCYNTHIS, if there is: Colic, with insupportable spas-
modic pain and constipation, or slow and rare evacuations.
NUX-VOMICA, if there is obstinate constipation, without other
sufferings; or if in the colic with constipation, coloc. fails to
produce regular evacuations.
PULSATILLA, if there is spasmodic colic, with leucorrhæa, or
watery diarrhea with colic, especially if rhab. is insufficient in
this last case.
RHABARBARUM (Rheum), if there is watery, sour diarrhæa,
with colic and tenesmus.
MERCURY AND MERCURIAL PREPARATIONS. The best reme-
dies in serious cases of poisoning, especially from CORROSIVE
SUBLIMATE are:-1. White of egg, diluted in water and taken
as a potion;-2. L'eau sucré ;-3. Milk;-4. Starch mixed
with water, or paste prepared from this substance. The white
of egg and l'eau sucré are the principal remedies, and had
better be administered alternately.
The CONSECUTIVE AFFECTIONS require no other medicines
than mercurial affections, such as often appear after an abuse of
these preparations as remedies.
In this last case, the principal antidote, and that which is
most frequently suitable, is hep. administered in a dose of from
3 to 6 globules (6th atten.), dissolved in eight ounces of water,
and a table-spoonful of this preparation is to be taken every
day. This medicine is also particularly indicated when there
are: Nocturnal cephalalgia, and falling off of the hair; painful
nodosities in the head; inflamed and red eyes, with painful sen-
sibility of the nose when pressing it up; scabs round the
mouth; salivation and ulceration of the gums; swelling of the
amygdala and glands of the neck; swelling and ulceration of
the inguinal or axillary glands; loose evacuations with tenes-
mus; tendency of the skin to inflammation and suppuration, &c.
(See the pathogenesy of hep. First part.)
After the action of hep. bell., or else nitr-ac. is most frequently
suitable.
If after the action of nitr-ac. there still remain some affec-
tions, a dose of sulph. will often do great good for several
weeks; after this medicine, calc. also is sometimes suitable.
648
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
When the patient has been subjected to an abuse of mercury
and sulph. at the same time, the most suitable medicines will
be: Bell. puls. or else merc.
In some particular cases, and especially in CHRONIC affec-
tions from the abuse of mercury, recourse may be also had :
Against affections of the MOUTH and GUMS, SALIVATION,
&c. to: Carb-v. dulc. hep. natr-ac. staph. sulph. or again: Chin.
iod. natr-m.
Against ANGINE: Bell. carb-v. hep. lach. staph. sulph, or
again: Arg. lyc. nitr-ac.
Against NERVOUus and physical weakness: Chin. hep. lach.
or again: Carb-v. nitr-ac.
Against Nervous EXCITABILITY: Carb-v. cham. hep. nitr-ac.
puls.
Against too great a TENDENCY TO SUFFER from a change of
weather, to cold, &c.: Carb-v. or chin.
Against RHEUMATIC pains, NEURALGIA: Carb-v. chin. dulc.
guaj. hep. lach. phos-ac. sass. puls. sulph. or again: Arn. bell.
calc. cham. lyc.
Against affections of the OSSEOUS system, ExosTOSIS, CARIES,
&c.: Aur. phos-ac. or again: Asa. calc. dulc. lach. lyc. nitr-ac.
sil. sulph.

dulc. nitr-ac. sil.
Against ULCERATIONS: Aur. bell. carb-v. hep. lach. nitr-ac.
sass. sil. sulph. thuy.
Against DROPSICAL affections: Chin. dulc. hell. sulph.
See also, in their respective chapters, the particular
affections arising from abuse of mercury, such as CEPHALALGIA,
OPTHALMIA, ODONTALGIA, COLIC, DIARRHEA, &c.
METALS.-For poisoning by METALIC substances, See the
particular metals, such as copper, arsenic, tin, mercury, lead, &c.
In chronic affections, from the ABUSE OF METALIC SUB-
STANCES, as remedies, sulph. is one of the most important medi-
cines, and ought to be taken into consideration even where
there exist more specific antidotes, if certain morbid affections
still continue after the application of these antidotes.
MEZEREON.—Garou.-Daphne, if morbid affections arise from
the abuse of this remedy, which is employed in the old school
of medicine to keep up issues; an alcoholic solution of cam-
phor may be first inhaled by olfaction; and then if the mouth
or bones are affected by it, merc. is most suitable; and if the
joints: Bry. or rhus.-See Glanders.
MUSCLES AND POISONOUS FISH.-The first remedy to be em-
ployed against poisoning by MUSCLES, is charcoal mixed with
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
649
syrop of sugar, or with sugar and water; afterwards, camphor
may be inhaled by olfaction, and black coffee, may be taken.
Against poisonous FISH, it will be adviseable to administer
charcoal mixed with brandy; but when this remedy fails, and
black coffee no longer relieves, much sugar should be eaten, or
water mixed with a great quantity of sugar should be drunk. If
this remedy proves equally inefficacious, vinegar, diluted
with twice the quantity of water will be often found very
beneficial.
If after poisoning by MUSCLES or poisoned FISH, there is an
eruption or redness of the skin, like scarlatina, with swelled
face, sore throat, &c. bell. will often be very serviceable, or else,
according to the circumstances, Cop.
MUSHROOMS (POISONOUS).-Poisonous fungi.-Copious vo-
miting should be provoked in the first place; but it will be
better to employ for this purpose, water, as cold as possible, and
at the same time, to tickle the patient's throat, and to adminis-
ter charcoal, mixed with oil of olives.-If these means fail, a
slight olfaction of ammonia is frequently beneficial.
NARCOTIC substances.-See VEGETABLES.
NITRATE OF SILVER.-NITRAS ARGENTI.-Kitchen salt dis-
solved in water and taken in large quantities; afterwards, mu-
cilaginous drinks.
NITRATE OF POTASS.-Nitras potassa.-See AMMONIA.
OPIUM.-The principal antidote is black coffee, or else vinegar ;
afterwards, some doses of ipec. will do good.-If after the use
of ipec. there still remain morbid affections, recourse may
be had to: Merc. n-vom. or bell. and these medicines ought also
to be preferred in chronic affections from the ABUSE OF OPIUM,
as a remedy.
PHOSPHORUS.—Oil and all greasy substances are very per-
nicious.-The principal object is to produce vomiting as speedily
as possible, and this may be done by placing a pinch of snuff
or a little mustard on the tongue, if the titillation of the throat
fails. Black coffee may be afterwards taken, and at the end of
some hours, a dessert-spoonful of magnesia.
If morbid affections still remain after the use of magnesia,
n-vom. will frequently be the most suitable medicine; and some
drops of generous wine upon sugar may be administered if the
patient manifests a desire for it.
PLUMBUM.—See LEAD.
RHUBARB.—The following medicines will be found beneficial.
CHAMOMILLA, if there is: Violent colic, with loose, greenish
evacuations.
COLOCYNTHIS, if the colic with diarrhea yields not to the use
of cham.
VOL. II.

CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
MERCURIUS, if there are: Loose, greenish evacuations, of a
sour smell, or evacuation of sanguinolent substances.
NUX-VOM. if there is: Flatulence, with loose, slimy evacua-
tions.
PULSATILLA, against vomiting of sour substances, and diarr-
hæa of stercoral matter, or else slimy evacuations.
SAFFRON.-Black coffee till it causes vomiting; afterwards op.
one dose every hour till amelioration takes place.
SARSAPARILLA.—Bell. and merc. will be generally found most
serviceable against morbid affections caused by an abuse of this
substance.
SECALE CORNUTUM.-Solan-nigr. is a specific against poi-
soning by this substance.
SPIGELIA. - Against the first alarming symptoms:-1. Camphor
by olfaction;-2. Black coffee.
Against its consecutive affections: Merc.
STRAMONIUM.-Black coffee, or vinegar (or citric acid) in
large quantities, and if the vomiting is slow in manifesting
itself, an injection of tobacco-smoke. (See Sect. 1, VOMITING.)
Against the consecutive sufferings: N-vom.
SUBLIMATE (CORROSIVE).-See MERCURY.
SULPHATE OF COPPER, IRON and ZINC.-Tepid water, sweet-
ened with sugar, or white of egg dissolved in water, till vomiting
is produced; afterwards mucilaginous drinks.
SULPHUR.—The best medicine against morbid effects caused by
VAPOUR OF SULPHUR, is puls.
Merc. puls. sil. or
contact with this.
Against chronic affections, from ABUSE OF SULPHUR, as a
remedy, the most eligible medicines are:
again: Chin. n-vom. sep.
SUMACH (POISONOUS).-If imprudent
vegetable has produced erysipelatous inflammations, or any
other kind of eruption, nothing can be more pernicious than the
application of external remedies. The medicines that ought to
be administered internally are: Bry. or bell.
TIN.-Against serious cases :-1. White of egg ;-2. Sugar ;-
3. Milk.-Against obstinate affections: Puls. may be often
administered with success.
TOADS (Venom of).-See ANIMAL substances.
VALERIAN.-The most efficacious medicines against chronic
affections, caused by an abuse of this plant as a remedy, are:
Cham. coff. n-vom. or sulph.
VEGETABLES.-In all cases of poisoning by vegetables, the
olfaction of camphor is one of the principal remedies, and also
the use of black coffee.
NARCOTIC plants require particularly, black coffee and vinegar
diluted with water.
SECT. 2. TREATMENT.
651
CORROSIVE plants, or those which produce violent pains:
Soap-water or milk.
VERDIGRIS.-See COPPER.
WOUNDS (POISONED).—ENVENOMED WOUNDS.-According
to Dr. Hering, the best remedy against the BITES of venomous
serpents, mad dogs, &c. is the application of dry heat at a dis-
TANCE. Whatever is at hand at the moment, a red-hot iron or
live coal, or even a lighted cigar, must be placed as near the
wound as possible, without, however, burning the skin, or
causing too sharp pain, but care must be taken to have another
instrument ready in the fire, so as never to allow the heat to
lose its intensity. It is essential, also, that the heat should
not exercise its influence over too large a surface, but only on
the wound and the parts adjacent. If oil or grease can be
readily procured, it may be applied round the wound, and this
operation should be repeated as often as the skin becomes dry;
soap, or even saliva may be employed, where oil or grease can-
not be obtained. Whatever is discharged in any way from the
wound, ought to be carefully removed. The application of
burning heat should be continued in this manner till the patient
begins to shiver and to stretch himself; if this takes place at
the end of a few minutes, it will be better to keep up the action
of the heat upon the wound for an hour, or until the affections
produced by the venom are observed to diminish.
Internal medicines must be judiciously administered at the
same time. In the case of a BITE FROM A SERPENT, it will be
adviseable to take from time to time a gulp of salt and water, or
a pinch of kitchen salt, or of gunpowder, or else some pieces of
garlic.
If, notwithstanding this, bad effects manifest themselves, a
spoonful of wine or brandy, administered every two or three
minutes, will be the most suitable remedy; and this should be
continued till the sufferings are relieved, and repeated as often
as they are renewed.
If the shooting pains are aggravated, and proceed from the
wound towards the heart, and if the wound becomes bluish,
marbled and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo and fainting, the
best medicine is ars. It should be administered in a dose of 3
globules (30th) in a spoonful of coffee; and if after this has
been taken, the sufferings are still aggravated, the dose should
be repeated at the end of half an hour; but if, on the contrary,
the state remains the same, it should not be repeated till the
end of two or three hours; if there is an amelioration, a new
aggravation must be waited for, and the dose ought not to be
repeated before its appearance.
In cases in which ars. exercises no influence, though repeated
652
CHAP. XXVI. POISONS.
$
several times, recourse must be had to: Bell. Sen. also fre-
quently proves efficacious.
Against chronic affections arising from the bite of a serpent,
phos-ac. and merc. will generally be most beneficial.
For the treatment of persons bitten by a mad dog, after the
application of dry heat, as directed and described above, See
Chap. V, HYDROPHOBIA.
If morbid affections or ulcerations exhibit themselves in con-
sequence of a bite from a RABID man or animal, hydrophobine,
administered in homoeopathic doses, will often render essential
service.
For wounds that are envenomed by the introduction of animal
substances in a state of putrefaction, or of pus from the
ulcer of a diseased man or animal, ars. is generally the best
medicine.
Lastly, as a PREVENTIVE against bad effects, when obliged to
touch morbid animal substances, envenomed wounds or ulcers of
men and animals, under the influence of contagious diseases, the
best method that can be pursued is the application of dry, burn-
ing heat, at a distance, as before described. To effect this pur-
pose, it will be sufficient to expose the hands for five or ten
minutes to the greatest heat that can be borne; and after this,
it will be proper to wash them with soap.
The use of Chlorine and muriatic acid, in similar cases, is well
known.
