EDITOR'S PREFACE.
THE first edition of this valuable "POCKET-COMPANION”
has been long out of print. Dr. Jahr's third, improved and
enlarged edition is too valuable a work, not to be clothed
also in the English language, in order to assist the many stu-
dents who have embraced with heart and soul the glorious
doctrines of Hahnemann; but even the busy practitioner, to
whom time is often too valuable to ponder over the larger
works in the library at home, will find it a ready help by the
side of the patient. As the "New Remedies" have steadily
progressed in the estimation of our colleagues, we have not
only added them to the chapter of Materia Medica, but have
endeavored also to give to each its place among the different
diseases in alphabetical order. We feel ourselves under last-
ing obligations to Prof. HEMPEL, whose first edition of this
work underlies this volume, also to Professors GUERNSEY and
RAUE, of Philadelphia; Prof. WELLS, of New-York; Profs.
FRANKLIN and HELMUTH, of St. Louis, and many others, for
we have drawn on all sources to make this little volume as
profitable as possible. May it guide the young physician to
the selection of the true remedy; may it go on its mission to
alleviate human sufferings, and my labor will be then amply
rewarded.
SAMUEL LILIENTHAL, M.D.
NEW-YORK, Sept., 1869.
THIS volume will be of great assistance to practitioners
and students of medicine as well as to the general reader.
By the assistance of the lately published works in Europe
and America the symptomatology of each disease has been
greatly enriched; and the editor has taken special pains to
have the characteristics, or key-notes, of each remedy fully
pointed out. The New Remedies have likewise received full
consideration in the body of the text, wherever clinical facts
have coincided with the provings. In short, no effort has
been omitted to enhance the value of the original work by
suitable additions from every proper source.
Orders please address to the publishers

INTRODUCTION.
Although we may justly presume, that every physician,
who intends to practice Homœopathy, has already studied
Hahnemann's Organon and the principal works of our school,
still it may happen, that this book will reach some, who have
not enjoyed such opportunities; and for those we will pre-
mise the following general remarks-to point out to them the
starting point, from which they have to take up their studies.
§ 1. Homœopathy has been frequently called the specific
art of cure, and if we do not understand by specific remedies
such, as can be given against certain diseases in every case
and at any time, Homœopathy possesses a certain right to
such a name, for although she has not for each disease its
specific always healing remedy, yet she has for every sin-
gle case its truly specific remedy, which we can find ac-
cording to rules firmly established and which cannot de-
ceive.
§ 2. The rules are founded on the concordance of the symp-
toms produced by the chosen remedy to those of the given
case of disease; but not only do the general pathognomonic
and local symptoms have to agree perfectly with the given
case, but also particularly must the peculiar characteristic
symptoms be found in the sphere of action of the remedy as
well as in the disease.
§ 3. But not only does the suffering organ with its pathog-
nomonic symptoms, but also the more remote (external, dis-
ease-making) cause and the individual constitution of the
patient play a part in the selection of the remedy; as there
are many, which by virtue of their pathogenetic qualities
correspond most exactly to the consequences of certain ex-
ternal causes (as contusion, disordered stomach, overheating,
fatigue, mental emotions, catching cold, &c.) or to particular
ages, sexes, trades, modes of life, or some peculiar con-
stitutions.
§ 4. In order to become accustomed to a certain method,
it would be advisable, to aim in every medical examination
at the following four points, and to ascertain seriatim as nearly
as possible:
1
2
INTRODUCTION.
1.) The suffering organ and the kind of morbid process
which befel it, with the pathognomic symptoms belong-
ing to it.
2.) The pathological, non-essential symptoms, but which
especially characterize the case in hand.
3.) The external cause, by influence of which the disease
was produced.
4.) The morbid disposition of the patient according to his
constitution, age, sex, mode of life or occupation, &c.
§ 5. In order to find out the suitable remedy, it is not ma-
terial, in which order this examination was made, but we
must be careful to consider every essential feature of the
case. Suppose we begin with the suffering organ and the
pathological process-present in it, (as inflammation, spasm,
paralysis) we will often find a great many remedies covering
the case, which number will diminish as soon as we examine
the non-essential, so called accidental symptoms, but which
distinguish this case from all others. From this smaller circle
we again select those remedies, which agree to the morbid
cause of the case and the individual constitution of the pa-
tient, reducing thus the number to two or three, till we
select one as the remedy, covering the case.
§ 6. We may however find cases, in which no single remedy
covers all the symptoms according to their order, inasmuch
as one may suit the pathognomic symptoms, another may
give us the individual characteristic symptoms, a third may
cover the causal ones, without being in accord with the con-
stitution of the patient.
§ 7. The value of the accidental symptoms, having fre-
quently very little in common with the pathognomic symp-
toms, has to be well considered in acute diseases, for we often
find, that a remedy, appearing for itself very little suited to
the pathological state and perhaps only found in the fourth
or fifth rubric for this disease, may yet cure the disease as if
by magic; on account of that accidental symptom, present
in this individual case and also in the remedy. But if two
remedies show the same accidental symptom, we would cer-
tainly prefer that one, which also most perfectly contained
the pathognomic symptoms. But of still higher value, than
even these accidental symptoms, in acute diseases is the con-
sideration of the external disease-producing causes, (as over-
heating, catching cold, poisoning, indigestible or noxious food,
mechanical influences, anxiety, grief, anguish, fright, home-
sickness and other emotions). When such a disease-pro-
INTRODUCTION.
3
ducing influence is clearly made out, we have to prefer
the remedies covering such cause, to all others and select
from them again that one responding to the individual cha-
racteristic symptoms of the case.
§ 8. In all tedious chronic diseases the importance of all
external disease-producing causes is of less importance,
though not to be neglected, neither do we often find clearly
expressed characteristic symptoms in the diseased organ, on
which to base the selection of the remedy. The only rational
method, by which to deal with such cases, is, to find out not
only the individual constitution of the patient. and to write
out the whole history of the case from its very beginning,
going back even to infancy; but to choose then a remedy, cor-
responding most perfectly to the totality of the symptoms
seen in this history. In such an examination we must con-
sider nothing trivial, although it may not show a clear rela-
tion to the present disease. For example, a patient suffers
from chronic gastritis, or from hæmorrhoids, or from any
other chronic disease and all our apparently well-selected
remedies have failed to produce favorable results; it would
then be imperative upon us to consider well every thing ab-
normal in the functions of the organs of the patient. Alo-
pecia, ailments of the eyes and ears, the state of the skin, of
the respiratory or abdominal organs, &c., in fact, every thing
must be considered, for it may give us a clue to the remedy.
Especially former diseases, and the remedies, used for them,
lead sometimes to the right selection; also, the so-called
individual morbid disposition of the patient, as frequent
coryza, the sweat of the feet and axillæ, constipation or di-
arrhea; temperament, character, state of the mind; chil-
blains, or other diseases of the skin; in general, all tender cies
to anamalous states of health.
§ 9. What we have said of chronic diseases in relation to
time, in reference to the study of all pathological states,
through which the patient may have passed during his life,
the same holds good in relation to epidemic diseases, accord-
ing to space. As in chronic diseases-the time is the form,
under which the total morbid entity of an individual shows
itself, so also epidemics show only their total entity on many
single individuals: as it never happens, that we can see all
manifestations on a single person; but one person shows one
group and others other groups of the symptoms, peculiar to
the reigning epidemic. Now in such epidemics, only those
remedies will have the greatest power even against single
4
INTRODUCTION.
symptoms, which correspond by the complex of their symp-
toms to the totality of the disease; and it is therefore in such
cases the first duty of a physician, to collect from many soli-
tary cases a full picture of all manifestations and symptoms,
belonging to this disease, and to adjust to this picture a cor-
responding series of remedies, each of which will act most
efficiently in that case, in which it is also in accord with the
individual manifestations.
§ 10. It may not be superfluous, to show a little more
clearly, in what series of symptoms these manifestations,
which define a remedy as peculiar and specific to a given case,
must be sought for. We all know, that this cannot be the
peculiar kind of pain, (cutting, stitching, pressing, &c.,) nor
the peculiar seat of the pain, as in most cases the patient is
hardly able to define strictly his sensation and the place
where he feels them; and with few exceptions, (as the burning
pain of arsenic,) the same sensations are found among a great
many remedies. Of more weight are the circumstances and
conditions, by which certain pains or symptoms make their
appearance, as e. g. at night, in the morning, after eating, in
this or that position of the body, during or after certain oc-
cupations, &c. Of the same value are also the so-called ac-
companying symptoms, that is, ailments appearing simulta-
neously with the pain or the fever, or the chill, the sweat,
vomiting, stool, nausea, fainting, spasms, &c. Where all such
circumstances are plainly found in the case of the disease, and
in the corresponding remedy, we may safely assert that good
results will be produced by the application of the remedy.
§ 11. Not always, however, does it happen in practice, that
we can fix at last our choice only on one remedy: it happens
rather frequently, that after a most thorough investigation
our choice remains vacillating between two or three reme-
dies, of which each corresponds to a part of the most weighty
indications; but none to the whole of them, or two or three
of them appear equally adapted to the case, without our being
able to decide which ought to be preferable. In such a case
it would be advisable to prefer that remedy, which has thus
far done the most service in combatting the disease. Such
a remedy will then either help or alter the case so far, that,
after its action has run its course, or even during that time
another one will be indicated with more certainty and given
with better effect.
§ 12. But in every case it is advisable, after having given
the best selected remedy, to wait a certain time according to
INTRODUCTION.
5
the severity or mildness of the case, before we exchange a
carefully chosen remedy for another. In very severe diseases,
running its course quickly, as a clear case of Asiatic cholera,
a remedy must show some curative action in an hour or two,
(or less); in severer forms the beginning of an amendment
ought to show itself in from six to twelve hours; in less
severe cases after twelve to twenty-four hours; and in chronic
cases it may be retarded for four, eight or ten days. Under
such circumstances, the physician, after having made judi-
ciously his choice, must always await patiently the action of
the remedy, before he changes it for another; and if the
disease has even not made any progress for the better in that
time, but only remained in statu quo, without getting any
worse; this of itself alone is a sufficient indication, not to
change the remedy, but to continue its further influence, at
least for twice the time above given. Should, however, the
disease increase during that period, and instead of ameliora-
tion, more or less dangerous symptoms show themselves, then
certainly we are justified in changing this remedy for an-
other, better suited to the present condition.
§ 13. It happens however, sometimes, that even the best
selected remedy, from which we had a right to expect good
results, produces in the beginning, instead of a perceptible
amelioration, a seeming aggravation, and new symptoms in
the state of the patient; and only after their disappearance
a more striking and quick amelioration sets in. În such a
case it would certainly be most imprudent, to change the re-
medy before a reasonable time, and it becomes us to know,
how to distinguish between such a seeming, artificial aggra-
vation and a real progress of the disease. Such aggravations
appear usually only with sensitive persons or with such, pos-
sessing a particular idiosyncrasy, manifest in high suscepti-
bility to the effects of certain remedies; frequently they are
also the natural consequences of a dose, rather too large, of
the given remedy. But if the remedy is the one truly indi-
cated, these new symptoms will most plainly show themselves
inside of that period, in which we have to wait for the action
of the remedy. They appear also in most cases in the sphere
of the accidental symptoms, showing usually the character
of mutability and want of steadiness, violent though they may
be: finally, a good observer will perceive in them a simulta-
neous beginning of amendment, rendered evident in the sen-
sations, and the whole deportment of the patient. All this
will only be seen in cases, in which the remedy tried was the
6
INTRODUCTION.
one really indicated. But in the contrary case these aggrava-
tions and new symptoms appear later, i. e. after the expira-
tion of the periods intimated in former paragraphs. They
are then more strongly fixed in their manifestations, increase
rather during their course and the whole state of the patient
is for the worse. There is then no time for waiting, but
without delay, a remedy more suitable to the present state
has to be employed.
§ 14. However difficult the selection of the right remedy
may appear to the beginner at the start, yet that difficulty
is small in comparison with the question of the dose and the
repetition of the remedy,-a question about which the best
physicians of our school have not as yet reached a definite
conclusion. One advises only strong tinctures, or at the
utmost the very lowest dilutions,-every two or three hours
drop or a grain; others use, according to circumstances,
the different dilutions, in drops or in pills, dry or dissolved
in water, either in a single dose or repeated every one, two,
three, up to twenty-four hours. Others, again, ascend far
above the thirtieth up to the very highest dilutions, (even to
the hundred thousandth,) and ascribe to them their safe and
speedy cures. It is useless, to descant here on the different
theories, by which these successes are explained, may it suf-
fice to say, that cures can be made with any dilution, pro-
vided that the doses are neither too often repeated nor too
seldom.
§ 15. We do not mean to say, that the degree of dilution
is of no moment whatever, for if we take fresh venereal
ulcers as an example, we find the higher dilution of Mercury
to have no effect whatever: whereas, the first, second or
or third trituration of Mercury, one-half grain morning and
evening, will eradicate the disease in at least ten days. But
such cases are entirely too solitary to build upon them any
theory whatever. In other familiar instances, e. g. Cannabis
in Gonorrhea, Veratrum in Cholera, Spongia in Croup and
other remedies, in thousands of different cases, we have evi-
dence that the same remedial power is effective, in whatever
dilution the remedy may be given, as I can affirm from large
experience.
§ 16. In spite of all the efforts made to find out the differ-
ent modes of action between the high and low dilutions,
this labor has so far been in vain, and nobody can prove with
certainty, whether the former or the latter of these are
stronger or weaker. Indeed, it is problematical, if repeated

:
concussions render the remedies stronger or more penetrat-
ing for my own experience has shown me, that either one
acts variously on different persons. But we may take this
for an axiom and past all doubt, that we have not as yet
found the limit, up to which dilutions can be carried, and it
may be, that the one, who gives for example, the eight-
thousandth, gives a potence as surely curative, as the one who
uses the first or third; we leave out, of course, those excep-
tional cases, which require only the low dilutions.
§ 17. Although in relation to their absolute efficacy no dif-
ference could as yet be set up between the high and low
dilutions: yet the difference in the mode of their efficacy will
yet be made out. That excellent and ingenious physician,
Dr. Hering, has already drawn in several places the attention
to such a difference, that the higher dilutions have as secon-
dary effects, what the lower have as primary effects: Thus
Opium in large doses produces sleep, but in small ones, i. e.,
higher dilutions sleeplessness; or Natrum-muriaticum in low
dilutions thirst, in the higher dilutions, thirstlessness.
Should this be found true, as my experience teaches me,
that it will, it would be well to ponder over it in all remedies,
which are rich on reciprocal actions; then plumbum, nux-
vomica, opium in lower dilutions would be truly homeo-
pathic to constipation, but in higher dilutions to diarrhoea
But even such a rule would have many exceptions, as the
known and successful application of Nux-vom. and Plumb. in
the highest dilutions and in the smallest doses for constipation,
so that for the moment it still remains an open question, to
be decided by further experience.
§ 18. But there is another, more essential difference, for
which I have already claimed attention (in 1851) and which
has since been duly acknowledged by several of my colleagues.
This does not consist in the larger or smaller efficacy of the
dilutions, i. e., not in its strength or weakness, but in the
development of the peculiarities of the remedy, furthered per-
haps by percussion, so that, the higher we ascend, we find
more clearly the special and peculiar character of the re-
medy. Let us imagine one or more concentric circles, as the
figure of the next paragraph will show, whereof each radius
signifies a remedy in its different stages of dilution, according
to its distance from the centre. In the first dilution, that is,
in the innermost circle, where the radii still lie close together,
similar or related remedies, as Merc., Bell., Lach. have yet a
great many symptoms in common: but the more they pro-

INTRODUCTION.
gress in the scale of dilution, the more they recede also in
their effects and every one appears in its particular, strictly
different or specific peculiarities: so that, when, for example,
in a given case of disease, where the choice lies between two
or three different remedies, one as well as the other may help
in low dilutions. This never can be admitted with the higher
and highest dilutions, as soon as the case shows strongly
marked symptoms for only one of these very similar remedies.

§ 19. A known fact, which helps to corroborate this view
of the qualitative difference of the dilutions, is among others
also the effect of medicaments and poisons in large, massive,
or at any rate sufficient doses, to produce their noxious ge-
neric effect. In such doses, all narcotics, as Belladonna,
Opium, Stramonium, act in a manner equally stupefying,
producing death by apoplexy or paralysis; all drastics pro-
ducing vomiting or purging; the so-called acrid poisons in-
flammation of the stomach and bowels, and at this point of

lowest dilution, where all the radii lie together as yet in one
point, it is impossible to perceive any specific difference what-
ever between the different effects of the single narcotics,
drastics or other related substances, than that the one already
unfolds its generic effect with doses under a grain, while
others need several grains of the crude substance to show the
same or equal effect.
§ 20. All provings, made only by crude substances, have
given us so far only general manifestations, as they are also
found in every other material of the same generic action, but
hardly any special characteristics. Only to the Hahneman-
man provings with dilutions up to the thirtieth are we indebt-
ed for the most characteristic symptoms. We do not deny
the necessity, in order to get acquainted with the general
generic effect of a medicament, to make provings with large
undiluted doses: but to get at the strictly differential quali-
ties, distinguishing it from all others, related to it, it will be
just as necessary to make conscientious and careful provings
with the higher and highest dilutions.
§ 21. By continued diluting and concussing, remedies get
therefore neither stronger nor weaker, but their individual
peculiarities become more strongly and more rigorously de-
veloped, and it is this which has for a long time governed me
in my practice. I use in all cases, in which on account of less
conspicuous and characteristic symptoms, the choice vacil-
lates between two or three similar remedies, that remedy
which seems to me the most indicated, but I give it in the
lower dilutions (1 to 15). But where a case strictly indicates
only one remedy, whose true characteristic symptoms (Key-
notes) correspond exactly with the most characteristic symp
toms of the case under treatment, I prefer and choose with
confidence the higher or highest dilutions: for I know, that
exactly the specialty, which we need, is only fully developed
in the highest dilutions, and from them only can we expect
the best results, and it is really remarkable, what quick suc-
cess often follows the application of only a single dose.
§ 22. My rule in reference to the size and repetition of the
dose is to dissolve in all severe, acute cases, with or
without fever, as in acute inflammations, severe convulsions,
frequent vomiting or diarrhoea, furious rheumatism, from three
to six pellets in a tumbler half full of water, and to give ac-
cording to the rapidity or slowness of the disease every hour
or every 2 or 3 hours (in cases like Cholera every quarter to
half an hour) a tea-spoonful (not a table-spoonful), and I
1*

INTRODUCTION.
have reason to be perfectly satisfied with such a procedure.
In less severe cases, as in coryza, light rheumatic attacks, se-
quels of catching cold, affections of the stomach from indiges-
tion and similar cases I give every twenty-four hours (if
necessary) one dose, two or three pellets of the indicated di-
lution dry on the tongue of the patient, or morning and eve-
ning a tea-spoonful of the medicine, prepared by dissolving
the pellets in a tumbler half full of water. In truly chronic
and tedious cases I give a dose only every four days, each of
three pellets, either dry on the tongue, or I prepare a solution
of them, a tea-spoonful of it to be taken in the morning for a
week, and then wait for the result eight to fourteen days,
or if amendment occurs, even from three to five weeks.
§ 23. I prefer the pellets to the alcoholic dilutions, as it
seemed to me, that the Alcohol increases the action of the
remedies on the nervous system; whereas the pellets, after
the Alcohol has evaporated, have the same curative influence,
without irritating the nerves. For the same reason I nerve
add Alcohol to the watery solution, in order to make it keep
better, when it has to be taken for a long time; but I prefer
to give the patient several powders, each of which containing
the medicated pellets, in order that he may renew himself the
medicine every day or two. With such a procedure I hardly
ever see this nervous irritation happening so easily to sen-
sitive persons even after the smallest dose.
§ 24. My reason for giving the medicine only in tea-spoon-
ful doses and for the small quantity of pellets, arises from the
conviction, that the right remedy, however small the dose
may be, will show its beneficial effect in the period, indicated
in § 12. and if this small dose has not done it by that time, a
larger dose would certainly not have done it better, but
rather aggravated the evil. My large experience has convin-
ced me, that where such a dose of a truly indicated remedy
has done nothing in a given time, yea where the disease in
spite of it has rather increased, no larger dose or more fre-
quent repetition will avail; but we have to examine anew, in
order to select a remedy, more appropriate to the present
state of the disease.
§ 25. We have already remarked in § 15. that there are
exceptions, where massive doses are the rule, and we will ex-
plain here the reason of it. Reviewing all cases, which may
happen in the common run of practice, it appears to me, that
this exception is entirely limited to the primary syphilitic
ulcer, produced by the chancre poison. For all other kinds
INTRODUCTION.
11
of ulcers, substantial alterations and affections of the skin
(even condylomata, scirrhus and carcinoma, when curable)
pass away just as well as purely dynamic affections under re-
peated application of doses, as indicated in § 22. and if it is
the right remedy, still more speedily, even under the use of
the very highest dilutions. Why therefore this solitary stand-
ing exception of the effects of Mercury in primary syphilitic
ulcers? Does Mercury only in low dilutions produce its action,
similar to syphilis, and is it in the higher ones enanthiopathic?
Or does the essence of a syphilitic ulcer consist in a living
organic fungosity (a vegetable or animal parasite) which
Mercury does not cure or remove on homeopathic princi-
ples? but, being given in sufficiently large doses, destroys by
its inherent power, so inimical to everything organic this for-
mation of the living organic cells? This at least is the only
rational way, by which we might explain this solitary excep-
tion to a general rule. But the same ought to be the case in
cancer, in favus and other diseases, where inimical fungosities
and living parasites play such a great part, and yet the con-
trary is the case. We leave the subject therefore undecided
and unexplained.
§ 26. There are again some chronic diseases, as certain
lipomata, some kinds of polypi and in general some local
affections of little activity, or some tedious indispositions of
the mental or emotional or other functions, where it is ab-
solutely necessary for a cure, to wait for the action of the
remedy, given either in one dose or for four to five days in
quick succession, because some affections need more or less
time for their retrogression and removal. Should we continue
to give such a remedy daily for six or eight weeks, the orga
nism would then get accustomed to the remedy, no reaction
will follow any more and the cure will be retarded, or these
continued doses produce after a few days so many new symp-
toms, that the physician will be forced to exchange it for a
new one, before the first has had time, to act favorably; a
procedure, which is certainly not the high-road to success.
Many a time have we seen one or several doses of a perfectly
indicated remedy keep up its action for six or eight weeks
and remove permanently chronic diseases, especially tedious
affections of the stomach, tumors, goitre, herpes, polypi, &c.
§ 27. During the time we await the action of one or of
several doses of the well-selected remedy, given in quick suc-
cession, we will either see some of the unavoidable accessory
effects or the aggravations produced by it, which will com-
12
INTRODUCTION.
monly appear during the first eight, ten, or fourteen days,
(and it is our imperative duty, to let them pass off, for they
are certainly followed by an amelioration, continuing steadily
for weeks and months, without another remedy being neces-
sary), or, as it is sometimes the case, after a few doses a visible,
though temporary amendment takes place and towards the
third and fourth or fifth week an aggravation of the original
ailment appears, and this is a sure sign, that the remedy, in
spite of its apparent similarity, was not the true one, and that
we have to change it for another related to it. In such a case
it would be a great mistake, to give the first remedy in re-
newed or stronger doses.
§ 28. It may happen also sometimes, that in these chronic
cases, during the time, that we await the action of the single
dose, the amelioration suddenly stops, after having continued
steadily to the eighth or ninth week and the case seems to get
worse again. Here irreparable injury might be done, if we
should then give a new remedy or repeat the former one; for
by letting these ailments pass on for five, six or eight days,
without doing anything, they disappear for themselves, to
give room to a more lasting improvement, and this will pro-
gress for months without interruption. One of the most re-
markable and instructive cases, I saw in the beginning of my
practice in 1828, was that of a patient, who had suffered from
herpes during eight years. One dose of Calcarea sufficed to
make the herpes disappear from the face and fore-arms in
about three weeks. However towards the eighth week some
vesicles appeared again on the places formerly affected, in-
creasing so much by the third day, that I thought best to
give another dose of the Calcarea. But a severe aggravation
followed, so that I changed for another remedy in a week;
and the case dragged its slow length along during nine months
under different remedies. At last a dose of Arsenicum brought
the patient back to that state in which I found him in the
beginning and for which I had given Calcarea. Nothing re-
mained, but to try it again. I gave 3/30 in a single dose and
the result was the same as before: a clear skin was seen after
the third week, but followed by the appearance of new vesi-
cles about the end of the ninth week. By that time I had
been made acquainted with the remarks of Drs. Hering and
Gersdorff, who had already observed those late aggravations
of certain remedies and I concluded to do nothing. Before
a week passed these vesicles decreased again, after ten days
the patient was again perfectly clean and he has remained

cured during the next twenty years, as I have seen him on
several occasions during that time.
§ 29. This case teaches us also, that it is not advisable, after
having awaited the action of a remedy and improvement has
set in, to apply the same remedy, should a new aggravation
take place. Renewed favorable action of the same remedy
we can only expect, after having given one or more inter-
mediate remedies. An astute observer moreover readily
perceives, that in most cases this renewed aggravation (which
is not produced by the remedy) shows somewhat different
symptoms; so that in fact a repetition of the first remedy is
not at all indicated, but for the the ensuring of a perfect cure
we need a remedy correlated to that first used. In several
articles of this book we shall try to draw attention to reme-
dies, which may advantageously follow one another; but we
advise the practitioner not to rely blindly on such expedients,
but to study every case for itself and the remedy suitable to
each one, as it may appear at different times.
§ 30. Many practitioners have seen good effects from the
alternation of correlated remedies, as Bell, and Merc. in angina,
Bry. and Rhus in typhoid fever, &c. If we understand by
alternation a procedure, in which the second remedy is not
applied, till the first one ceases to produce any further ame-
lioration, and if then we do not return again to the first re-
medy, till the second one has done all the good expected from
ít; and if we are then sure, that this first remedy is again in-
dicated: then we perfectly agree to such alternation, for
cases may occur and do occur, in which such a course of treat-
ment is the very thing needed. But another mode of alter-
nation is frequently recommended; this is, to combine, as it
were, two remedies, by giving them alternately in quick suc-
cession, without allowing either one time enough for its action,
either according to the severity of the case every one to three
hours a dose, first one and then the other, or by alternately
changing the remedies every twenty-four hours or in chronic
cases every four to eight days. We will not and cannot deny,
that such a practice may have done some good, but we do not
wish to recommend it to the beginner, partly because we have
no experience about it, partly because even those, who pursue
this mode of treatment, could never give us any fixed rules
about their application.
§ 31. The same objection, but in far higher degree, is also
valid against the simultaneous application of two remedies,
of which each corresponds to a part of the symptoms, but
14
INTRODUCTION.
neither one to their totality. We have no right and do not
intend to blame or criticize the old experienced practitioner
or even the young physician, for trying such procedure, as
freedom of thought and of action belongs to every one.
But
in the name of personal liberty and true science we firmly
protest, when some dictators of our school endeavor to base
upon such experiments a rule and a binding law for others:
for true science can have nothing to do with such a lawless
and perfectly arbitrary procedure, as it is impossible, to deduct
from such treatment a fixed rule, according to which we can
hereafter act. For who can tell beforehand, in what combi-
nations the actions of two simultaneously given remedies will
enter into the organism, and what will be the final result?
Some defenders of the mixed doses have proposed, to make
provings of such remedies in their combination, as Bell. and
Merc., but this absurdity is too palpable, to be ever thought
of; for such combination-provings would only lead us to an
infinite chaotic confusion; the complex of symptoms thus re-
ceived would it be more comprehensive, as our polychrests
now are, in which we may find combinations and complications
enough, if we only study them rightly? And where should it
end? for provings could again and again be made by combi-
nation of three and even four remedies, without ever reaching
a more satisfactory result.
§ 32. The old physician, or even every practitioner may
act in his practice, as he pleases, and make experiments, as he
pleases, but a teacher dare only recommend safe methods,
based on firm principles and rules; he must insist, therefore,
that in all cases only one remedy, clearly indicated, be given
at once, the action of which cannot be safely interrupted, till
we are sure, that no further curative effect can be expected
from the further continuance of its action. O! how we
wish, that every student would swear allegiance to this rule,
till he has collected experience enough to enable him, to know
how and when to try experiments. Only a master, but not
the apprentice, dare to override fixed rules: for only the mas-
ter knows, what he does and how it is done.
§ 33. The rule, we have given to beginners, on acount of
the simplicity of the dose, we will enlarge to hold also the
dose and its repetition. If the beginner wishes to be on the
safe side, it will be to his advantage, to give only the smallest
doses (two to three pellets dry or three to six pellets, dissolved
in water, a tea-spoonful at a time) of the middle dilutions
(twelve, fifteen, thirty) and not to repeat the medicine, till

he is sure by observation of its effect (§ 12), that he has
chosen the right remedy, for the truth must never be forgot-
ten: that it is not the direct action of the remedy, which
produces the cure, but the curative power of nature, incited to
reaction by the remedy.
From this truth several axioms arise, which we would re-
commend for further observation.
1) It is far better in all doubtful cases, to give too weak a
dose of a middle dilution, than too large a dose of the tincture
or of the highest dilutions, inasmuch as the mistakes, com-
mitted by giving too small a dose, may be easily rectified,
whereas the mistakes of giving too strong a dose can never be
made good again.
2) In all cases, where there is no direct indication to ex-
change one remedy for another, nor for repetition of the remedy,
it is our duty, to wait, till we find an indication for the one
or the other.
3) So long as the disease does not progress any further,
after the application of the remedy, there is not the least dan-
ger in waiting, till new indications appear.
4) So long as the curative power of nature, after having
given our remedy, reacts favorably on the disease, it is the
duty of the physician to do nothing; for all that he could do,
would only more or less disturb the curative action of nature,
and therefore, instead of improving, aggravate the case.
5) There is nothing more injurious to the patient, than the
impatience of the physician and the constant change of reme-
dies. The quiet, attentively observing physician will fare
better in chronic diseases with two or three remedies, in
single doses and at long intervals, and cure his patient more
easily in a few months, than another with sixty remedies,
given hourly or daily, could do in so many years.
6) A plain, continually progressing improvement, although
slow, is far preferable to the uncertain hope of a very proble-
matical acceleration by prematurely chosen new remedies or
by repeated doses.
7) There are also cases, in which it is far better, to leave
the disease to nature and its natural course, than to attack
the patient continually with large and repeated doses of badly
selected remedies.
8) In fact, our rule must be: IT SHALL BE OUR AIM, TO DO
THE UTMUST WITH FEW REMEDIES AND RARE DOSES, FOR NA-
TURE, NOT THE REMEDY, IS THE CURATIVE AGENT.

N. B. The classification of remedies which I have used in this Repertory is
the same as that which has been used in my Manual. The remedies under No. 1
are those that have acquired authority both from our provings and from experience
at the sick-bed; the remedies under No. 2 are likewise authoritative, but not in
the same absolute sense as those under No. 1. The remedies under No. 3 have
only been confirmed by single cases, or are simply indicated theoretically; and
the remedies marked with an interrogation-point (?), have never been used in
practice, and are proposed upon a mere theoretical suggestion.

CLINICAL GUIDE
FOR THE
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
OF
ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES.
ABSCESSES, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL, § 1. Internal ab-
scesses generally require the same remedies as external.
A preference should be given :
a) For acute abscesses, to: 1) bell. hep. merc. sil. 2) apis.
ars. asa. bry. cepa. cham. hep. lach. led. mez. phos. puls.
sulph.
b) for chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by
congestions, to: asa. aur. calc. carb-v. con. hep. iod. laur. lyc.
mang. merc. merc-c. nitr-ac. phosph. sep. sil. sulph.
Further: if there arises on any internal or external part a
painful, red, inflamed, swelling, which may point and form a
suppurating swelling, bell., or if this does not succeed in
twenty-four to forty-eight hours, hepar will often disperse
the whole swelling and keep suppuration off; but when once
matter has formed, Merc. will bring on the discharge of the
pus and frequently finish the case up, its chief indication being,
that suppuration must have already taken place. Should the
open wound not heal under the continuation of Merc., give
hep. or silic., which are the real specifics against all benig-
nant or malignant suppurations. If the abscess looks erysi-
pelatous: Apis. bell. - if bluish, Lach.
§ 2. Particular indications.
ARSEN. for intolerable, burning pains during the fever, or
when the abscess threatens to become gangrenous, or is ac-
companied by great debility.
ASA: for abscesses discharging a colorless, serous pus; vio-
lent pains on contact, and great sensitiveness of the adjoining
parts.
BELL. Pressure, burning and stinging in the abscess cheesy
and flocculent pus. Is specially suitable for hepatic abscesses.
BRYON. the tumor is either very red or very pale, with ten-
sive pain.
MEZER. for abscesses of fibrous parts or of tendons, or for
abscesses arising from abuse of Mercury.

PULSAT. When the abscess bleeds readily with stinging or
cutting pains, or when an itching, stinging or burning is ex-
perienced in the surrounding parts; especially varices.

ALCOHOL, Poisoning by: According to Hering the prin-
cipal remedies are: 1) milk. 2) mucilaginous drinks. 3) caus-
tic spirits of Ammonium, (one drop in a tumbler full of sugar
water, in teaspoonful doses). Black coffee is likewise useful,
as well as n.-vom. in homeopathic doses.
ALUM, Poisoning by, and ill effects of, abuse of. For poi-
soning by large doses: 1) soap-water or 2) sugar-water, until
vomiting sets in; afterwards puls. or veratr. for the remaining
symptoms.
AMBLYOPLA, weakness or morbid alteration of sight.
§ 1. weakness of sight from mere dim-sightedness to complete
blindness may arise from so many causes, and may be attend-
ed with so many different morbid states of the organism,
hat there is scarcely a remedy which is not of advantage in
the treatment of this affection. I have, therefore, noted only
the most efficacious remedies for amblyopia, furnishing par-
ticular indications to serve as points of support, and to facili-
tate the selection of remedies for particular cases.
The principal remedies for amblyopia are: 1) aur. bell.
calc. caust. chin. cic. cin. dros. hyosc. merc. natr.-m. n.-
vom. phos. puls. ruta. sep. sil. sulph. veratr. 2) agar.
cann. caps. cimicif. con. croc. dig. dulc. euphr. guaj. kal.
lach. lachn. lyc. magn. natr. nitr.-a. op. plumb. rhus. sec.
spig tart. zinc.
For amblyopia, simple weakness of sight. 1) anac. bell.
calc. caps. cin. croc. hyosc. lyc. magn. puls. ruta. sep.
sulph. 2) cann. caust. cep. natr. natr.-m. phos. plumb. &c.
For amblyopia amaurotica (incipient amaurosis). 1) aur.
bell. calc. caps. caust. chin. cic. con. dros. dulc. hyosc.
merc. natr. natr.-m. nitr.-ac. op. phosph. puls. rhus.
sep. sil. sulph. veratr. zinc. 2) agar. cin. dig. euph. guaj.
kal. kal.-bi. lach. lachn.? lyc. n.-mosch.? plumb. veratr.-vir. ?
sec.
For complete amaurosis, provided it is not incurable, the
same remedies should be used as for amblyopia amaurotica,
the remedy depending not so much upon the degree of weak-
ness, as upon the totality of the symptoms. Unless secondary
symptoms should require other remedies, we may use: bell.

AMBLYOPIA.
calc. merc. phosph. sep. sulph. &c. though any other re-
medy may be used if indicated by the general symptoms.
For erethic amaurosis, principally: Bell. cact. calc. cic.

&c.
For torpid amaurosis: Aur. caps. caust. chin, dros.
dulc. natr. natr.-m. op. phos.-ac. plumb. sec. veratr.

have been caused by fine work: give Bell. or Ruta, or per-
haps carb.-v. calc. gels. lachn. and spigel.; by old age: aur.

43
administer the medicine by the rectum; not omitting the re-
quired mechanical means of cure; but NEVER RESORT TO
BLEEDING.
If the asphyxia should have been caused by a blow, fall,
&c., give Arnica, especially if the patient has not been bled
before; in the contrary case, or if the patient lost much
blood in conseqnence of the injury, give first China, (accord-
ing to Hering) and then Arnica.
If arising from suffocation; Hering recommends for those
who tried to kill themselves by suspension: opium; by inha-
lation of carbonic acid gas: Op. acon. bell.; and by drown-
ing: Lachesis.
For asphyxia from congelation, after the patient has been
resusitated by the usual means, give for the remaining symp-
toms: Ars. carb.-veg. or acon. bry.
For asphyxia by stroke of lightning, give: n.-vom. The pa
tient should at the same time be placed in recently dug soil,
half sitting, half lying, and should be covered with it all over,
except his face, which is to be turned towards the sun, until
the first signs of life become apparent.
For asphyxia of new-born infants, we use: Tart. op. chin.
and acon. (according to Hempel.)
Compare causes and conditions.
ARTHRALGIA. § 1. Intending to say every thing we
had to say on the pathological character of the diseases un-
der rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, &c., we here point out
more particularly the parts to which the remedies have spe-
cific curative relations. This knowledge is not required in
every case, but in many cases it is, since two or three reme-
dies may correspond to the general state of the patient, and
one of them only to the part affected.

§ 4. For the precursory symptoms of gout, the same reme-
dies are generally to be used that we use for the gout itself.

n.-vom.
For RECENT ARTHRITIC METASTASES, the following are very
useful: acon. bell. n.-vom. sass. sulph.-in most cases the af-

ARTHROČACE. This inflammation of the terminal ex-
tremities of bones has been most successfully treated with:
1) coloc. phos.-ac; 2) cic. phos. or perhaps with 3) calc. cocc.
hep. sil. sulph. or 4) puls. rhus. zinc.
ARSENIC, poisoning by; The antidotes are: 1) soap-
water. 2) albumen, dissolved in water and used as a drink.
3) sugar-water. 4) milk. 5) sesquioxyde of iron; but better
the hydrated-oxyd or pure iron-rust in sugar-water. Vinegar
is useless, oil is hurtful.
ASCITES.-ASTHMA SPASMODICUM.
47
After the alarming symptoms have been removed, we give
ipec. After ipec. we give china, especially when the patient
is irritable, has a restless sleep and nightly febrile motions;
or n.-vom., when the patient is worse in the day-time, parti-
cularly after sleeping, with constipation or else with diar-
rhoeic slimy stools or Veratr., if after Ipec. frequent nausea
remains with vomiting and heat, or chilliness over the whole
body and great debility.
For the eruptions of the forehead, ophthalmia and headache
caused by wearing hats, that have been worked with arsenic,
the best remedies are: 1) carb.-v. ferr. 2) chin. hep.
The best remedies for the ill effects of arsenic as a medicine,
are: China. ipec. n.-vom. verat.
ASCITES. The best remedies are: 1) apis. apoc. can. ars.
chin. hell. kal. merc. senecio. sulph. 2) asclep.-tub. acon. bry.
cepa. chim.-umb. colch. dulc. erig. euphorb. eupat.-purp. iris.

coloc.? helon. ?
Ascites from the LOSS OF BLOOD: from venesections, &c.,
yields to china, as by a miracle.
In all other cases the selection of the remedy depends upon
the exciting cause, and the pathological character of the
disease, and the general symptoms of the remedy have to be
carefully compared with the symptoms of the disease.
ASTHMA MILLARI ET WIGANDI. The specific
remedy for Asthma Millari is in most cases sambucus. In
other cases we give : 1) acon. ars. ipec. lach. mosch. 2) chin.
ign. 3) ol. anim.-dippel.
For the concealed Asthma Millari, the so-called Asthma
Wigandi, we have principally: 1) Acon. bell. ipec. samb.
2) ars. baryt. cham. chin. coff. cupr. lach. n.-vom. op. 3) chlor-
ine. gels. iod. plumb.
For particular symptoms see: Asthma spasmodicum.

In most, not too complicated cases, it will be advisable, to
begin the treatment with a dose n.-vom., if constipation is
present; or ars., if diarrhæa is present. After the one or
the other has done all that could be expected, we follow it
with Sulphur, one or two doses in three or four weeks, and
the little that yet remains, one or two doses Calc. given
in six or eight weeks, will suffice to remove.

I have treated twenty-one cases of this disease, arising
from onanism, accompanied with hypochondria, despondency,
aversion to life. The characteristic unsteadiness of the limbs
and the peculiar formication in the back, was present in every
case; and I
and I gave in every case one dose of nux-vom. 3/30,
allowing it act from two to three weeks; and then sulphur
3/30, allowing it to act from four to five weeks. If unplea-
sant symptoms remain, I resort to Calc. carb.-veg. caust.
phos.-ac.
I never saw any benefit from China, nor from Staphys., but
they may prove useful in some cases,
Atrophy, with perfect paralysis of the lower extremities,
has so far not shown itself very amenable to treatment, but
when alum. does not help, I would propose: Nux-vom. sulph.
n.-vom. caust. n.-vom. calc. carb.-v. cocc. phos. rhus-t., in this
order and alternation, in a single dose and at long intervals.

in all other chronic diseases, so is also in this disease constant
change of remedies exceedingly hurtful.

BREASTS AND NIPPLES OF WOMEN:
§ 1. The best remedies for sore nipples are: Arn. sulph.
or calc. cham. ign. millef. puls.
ARNICA: When in the first days of nursing the nipples only
feel sore, as if bruised.
CALCAR.-CARB.: An ulcer appears on the nipple, discharg-
ing pus, the patient is otherwise a subject for this remedy.
CHAMOMILLA: The nipples are much inflamed and very
tender. She can hardly endure the pain of nursing. She
feels irritable and cross, with impatience.
CASTOR-EQUORUM: In neglected cases, where the nipple is
nearly ulcerated off. It only hangs, as it were, by small
strings.
CROTON-TIG. Excruciating pain, every time the child
draws at the nipple, the pain runs through to the scapula of
that side.
GRAPHITES: The nipple seems to have little vesicles on it,
at least it oozes out a thick glutinous fluid, which forms a
crust, that is removed by nursing, when the same formation
again occurs, and so on.
LYCOPODIUM: The nipple bleeds very much and is very sore.
MERCURIUS: The nipple feels raw and sore; she has sensi-
tive gums, sore teeth, enlarged cervical glands, &c.
PULSATILLA : In mild tearful patients, who weep at every
nursing, the pain from nursing often extends into the chest,
78
BREASTS AND NIPPLES OF WOMEN.
up into the neck, down the back, and often changes from
place to place.
SEPIA: The nipples crack very much across the crown in
various places; deep cracks.
SILICEA: The nipple ulcerates very easily and is very sore
and tender.
SULPHUR: After nursing the nipple smarts and burns very
much. It chaps badly about the base and bleeds.
For INFLAMMATION OF THE BREAST, (mastitis).—The best
remedies are: Bell. bry. carb.-a. cist.-c. graph. hep. lach.
merc.-sol. phos. phytol. sil. sulph. veratr.-vir.
ACONITE: When a chill in dry cold air has been the excit-
ing cause, and a true synochal fever prevails.
BELLADONNA: The breasts are swollen and hard with stitch-
ing and tearing pains; there are red streaks running like
radii from a central point with erysipelatous redness: (is fre-
quently suitable in alternation with Bry.)
BRYONIA: The breasts have a stony heaviness in them;
they are hot, hard and painful, but not very red and turgid
with milk; with tensive or stitching pains in the swelling
and burning heat on the outside. She feels sick on first sit-
ting up in bed or in a chair, and still more sick on standing
up; rough dry lips and constipation; stools dry, looking as if
burnt.
CISTUS.-C. Particularly indicated in scrofulous subjects,
when there is the greatest sensibility to cold air, inflamma-
tion and suppuration of the breast, with a sense of fullness in
the chest.
GRAPHITES: In all cases, where there are so many old cica-
trices from former ulcerations, that the milk can scarcely
flow. A high dilution of this remedy will now cause the milk
to flow easily and ward off the impending abscess.
HEPAR: When suppuration seems inevitable, in spite of
Bry. Bell. or Merc., give a single dose high, and await the re-
sult, either in resolution or in suppuration.
LACHESIS: When the breast has a bluish or purplish ap-
pearance, and she has chills at night and flushes of heat by day.
MERCUR.-SOL.: Hard swelling of the breast with sore and
raw sort of pain; the milk is not good, and the babe refuses it.

suffocation and bluish face yield: to Ipecac.; if occurring dur-
ing sleep, with screams, dry and husky cough and anxiety:
to Samb.; if the spells seems to be excited by some abnor-
mal condition of the heart: to Lauroc. or Mosch., and in
cases of tall slim children: to Phos.
See: Asthma Millari and Thymicum.
Hardness and distention of the hypochondria and pit of
the stomach, with shortness of breath, loss of breath, anguish
and restlessness, tossing about, screams, drawing up of the
legs, (liver grown) yields: to Cham.
83. For OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM the best remedies are:
1) Acon. cham. dulc. merc. 2) Bell. bry. calc. n.-vom. puls.
rhus. sulphur. thuj.-See: Ophthalmia.
§ 4. For CEPHALEMATOMA, (bloody tumor of the head,)
in small infants, give: 1) Arn. rhus. 2) Merc. sil.
§ 5. For HERNIA: Aur. cham. n.-vom. sulph. verat.-for
umbilical hernia: N.-vom. or Sulph.-for inguinal: Aur. cham.
n.-vom. sulph. veratr. These remedies should be given one
at a time and at long intervals.
Particular indications:
ACONITE: Constant fever; uneasiness and distress; the parts
are very tender to the touch.
BORAX: The child cannot bear a downward motion; is very
nervous; cries day and night.
CALCAREA: Leucophlegmatic temperament with large open
fontanelles; the child may have two or three hernias.
CHAMOMILLA: Constant diarrhoea; the child is fretful and
wants to be carried about.
CINA: Very restless sleep.

the abdomen: colic and crying; red sand in the urine;
screaming when urinating. Always worse after 4 P. M.
NUX-VOMICA: Colic; draws up its feet and then thrusts
them down again; constipation; hernia looks blue.
SILICEA: Frequent colic relieved by the discharge of offen-
sive flatus; tenderness about the hernial tumor; vomits much
milk after nursing.
§ 6. For induration of the nipples: Cham.-for swelling
of the little breast: 1) Arn. cham. 2) Bell. bry. 3) Hep. sil.
§ 7. DIARRHEA of infants from acidity in the primæ-viæ
100
CHILDREN, DISEASES OF.
with colic and screams; tenesmus and sour smell of the whole
body, in spite of the greatest cleanliness, yields: to Rhab.
If insufficient, or if the colic is very violent, Cham. de-
serves a preference, if the child should be very red, and
Bell. if the face be pale.
ARSENICUM: Much exhaustion and rapid emaciation; undi-
gested, offensive and painful stools immediately after taking
nourishment.
BRYONIA: Diarrhoea from hot weather-or Carbo.-veg. if
Bry. does not cure under these circumstances.
CHAMOMILLA: Watery or greenish stools, like eggs beaten
up; the child must be carried; is feverish and cross; the
stools have the odor of rotten eggs, and are excoriating.
CROT.-TIG. Colic aud diarrhoea immediately after nursing,
the stool escapes suddenly, as if with an expulsive spasm.
DULCAMARA: Every cool change of weather excites the
diarrhoea, also exposure in cold, damp places.
GRAPHITES: Soft, dark, half-digested, very offensive stools,
followed by great, but transient prostration; sour stools,
excoriating the external anus.
MERC.-SOL.: Much pain before the stool, great relief im-
mediately after. Stools frothy, slimy, bloody or dark green,
with much straining; the child's thighs and legs are cold
and clammy, particularly at night.
N.-MOSCH. Diarrhoea with indomitable disposition to
sleep; stools offensive and copious.

coldness of the body; disconsolate anguish, with fear of suf-
focation; the half-stupefied and insensible patient utters
hoarse cries and moans, without complaining of any thing in
particular; but, if asked, he complains of burning pains in
the stomach and throat, with cramps in the calves and other
muscles, and utters loud cries when one touches the pit of the
stomach.-Camphor is seldom suitable when vomiting, diarr-
hoea and thirst have already set in, but it should never be

coldness and blueness of the limbs, face and even tongue,
with tonic and painful cramps in the extremities and calves,
dullness of sense, moaning, tetanus, and trismus.

fingers and toes; Ipec. is generally indicated by vomiting or
diarrhea at the commencement of the disease, or when the
patient is otherwise improving.

rate attack. Aconite is the sole and real specific for every
variety or form of cholera. HEMPEL.)
SECALE CORNUTUM: The vomiting is over, but the stools are

BELLADONNA: Pinching and drawing as if every thing
would fall out below, with aggravation during motion; pod
shaped protusion of the colon, with abatement of the pains
on bending double or making pressure; or clutching pains
in the abdomen, or spasmodic constriction of the abdomen
with burning and pressure in the small of the back, and over
the pubis; especially when the following symptoms are pre-
sent: Thin, purulent stools, or congestion of blood to the
head, with redness of the face, swelling of the veins of the
head, and such violent pains that the patient becomes deli-
rious. (After Bell., Merc. is sometimes suitable.)
COLOCYNTHIS: In most cases, especially for: Violent,
cutting constrictive or spasmodic pains, with pinching, and
griping; or cutting as if with knives; great sensitiveness and
bruised feeling of the abdomen; the pains are attended with
cramps in the calves, or chills and tearing in the lower limbs;
also for great anguish, tossing about on account of the pain ;
no stool, or else diarrhoea and vomiting of bile, which recom-
mences after the patient takes ever so little food; the pains
are relieved by coffee. (It is supposed by some, but doubted
by many that coffee should be given alternately with colo-
cynth, to control the aggravation produced by the colo-
cynth; this aggravation is a natural development of the dis-
ease, not an aggravation; after Colocynth, give Causticum
for the remaining symptoms.)
NUX-VOMICA; Obstinate constipation, hard stool; pressure
in the abdomen as from a stone, with rumbling and sensation
of internal heat; pinching, drawing, contractive or compres
sive pains; pressure in the pit of the stomach, with distention.
of the abdomen and sensitiveness to contact; distention ana
fullness, especially in the hypochondria, with unpleasant sen-
sation produced by the pressure of the clothes; cold hands
and feet during the paroxysms, or even stupefaction unto loss
of consciousness; cutting and flatulence deep in the abdo-
men; sharp and hard pressure over the bladder and rectum,
as if the flatulence would press out by force, obliging the
patient to bend double; aggravation by walking; relief by
rest, sitting or lying; violent pains in the small of the back
and loins, and violent headache.
PULSATILLA Stinging pains; beating in the pit of the
stomach; restlessness, heaviness and fullness of the abdo-
118

ness of the face; the pains appear at night, or in the morning
at sunrise, or after a meal. (Puls. is frequently suitable
after Cham.)
CHINA: Tympanitic distention of the abdomen, with full-
ness, pressure as from a hard body, or spasmodic, constrictive
pains, with incarceration of flatulence and pressure towards
the hypochondria; the pains appear at night, or affect per-

CONDITIONS OF AGGRAVATIONS, OR AMELIORA-
TION OF THE SYMPTOMS.
§ 1. There are practitioners who select a remedy princi-
pally with reference to the external conditions of the symp-
toms, such as: the time of day when they appear, the side
of the body, head, chest, &c., where they appear, &c. This
is evidently going too far, though it cannot be denied, that
these external conditions have a general value in many cases,
and facilitate the selection of a remedy, provided the practi-
tioner is otherwise thoroughly acquainted with the essential
points of our Materia Medica. To select a remedy with re-
ference to these external conditions exclusively, might prove
of great detriment to the patient.

CONSTITUTION, AGE, SEX, AND TEMPERAMENT.
The following classification of remedies agreeably to con-
stitution, sex, &c., is, of course imperfect, and many reme-
dies which have been omitted in the various paragraphs, may
have to be supplied after a little more observation. Never-
theless, an intelligent physician will find the attempted clas-
sification of service, were it only to confirm the selection of
a remedy, or to decide him in favor of one remedy among
several doubtful ones.

CROUP. Angina membranacea.
§ 1. The best remedies are: Acon. spong. hep. in water,
a tablespoonful every hour or half hour.
ACONITE: During the inflammatory period, should be con-
tinued as long as the following symptoms are present: great
nervous and vascular excitement, burning heat with thirst,
dry and short cough, short and hurried, but not yet wheez-
ing or sawing respiration. Cough and loud breathing dur-
152

ing expiration, but not during inspiration. Every expiration
ends with a hoarse hacking cough; the child is in agony,
impatient, throws itself about.
SPONGIA. The above symptoms are less, but the charac-
teristic symptoms of croup remain, or these symptoms exist
from the commencement: rough, crowing or barking cough,
or dry cough, with difficult expectoration of scanty mucus;
slow, loud, wheezing and sawing breathing, or suffocative
fits with inability to breathe, except with the head bent.
backwards. The cough sounds like a saw driven through a
pine board, each cough corresponding to a thrust of the saw;
sawing sound also during remission; worse in the evening.
HEPAR. The cough has become less after Spongia, but the
air-passages remains clogged; or the croup symptoms are
attended with rattling of mucus from the commencement,
the cough is moist, with little difficulty of breathing and slight
nervous or vascular excitement; the rattling choking cough
gets worse, particularly in the morning part of the night;
after exposure to cold west wind.
§ 2. Other remedies are:
BELLADONNA: if the cough is hoarse, causing the face to
flush and the eyes to become red.
BROMINE: Spasm of the larynx; suffocative cough;
hoarse, whistling, croupy sound with great effort; rattling
wheezing; gasping, impeded by respiration; heat of the
face; formation of a false membrane in the larynx and
trachea; much rattling in the larynx, when coughing. (After
Spongia.)
IODINE: Pains in the chest and larynx, the child grasps
these parts with his hands. Paleness and coldness of the
face in very fleshy children; the voice has a deep, hoarse,
rough sound. (After Hepar.)
KAL.-BICHROM. Croup with expectoration of tough,
stringy mucus, inflamed fauces; hoarseness; worse morning.
LACHESIS: This remedy has cured far advanced and ap-
parently hopeless cases, indicated especially by very distress-
ing aggravation after sleep, as if the child were dying;
commencing paralysis of the lungs.
PHOSPHORUS: When a hoarseness remains after croup with
tendency to relapse; combination with bronchitis.
TARTARUS-EM.: There is a sound, as if a large quantity of
mucus were in the bronchical tubes, but none is expectorated.
Apparent danger of suffocation; paralytic state of the lungs;
face cold, bluish, covered with cold perspiration.

ACONITUM: violent fever with thirst, frequent and violent
urging to urinate, with no discharge or only a few drops of
dark, red and turbid or bloody urine; painfulness of the
region of the bladder, when touching it, with increase of the
pains during micturition. (After Acon. give Cann.
BELLADONNA: rapid sinking of strength, the region of the
bladder is very sensitive to the touch; the urine hot and
fiery red; clear at first, but soon becoming turbid on stand-
ing and depositing a copious, slimy, bright-red, bran-like
sediment.
CAMPHORA: when the disease is caused by abuse of Can-
tharides, in whatever shape they may have been used; or
for complete suppression of urine, slow and thin stream,
burning in the urethra and bladder.

tion or cutting pains from the kidneys to the bladder; the
abdomen is distended and painful to contact, especially in
the region of the bladder.
CHIMAPHILA: copious discharge of clear limpid urine;
frequent and profuse urination; urging to urinate after void-
ing urine; pressing fullness in the region of the bladder. It
causes mucous sediment to disappear from the urine.
DIGITALIS: the neck of the bladder is principally affected
with retention of urine and constrictive pain in the bladder,
or frequent and painful urging to urinate, with discharge of
a few drops of dark-red and turbid urine.
DULCAMARA: for chronic affections of the bladder, constant
urging to urinate, painful pressing down in the region of the
bladder and urethra; drop discharge of urine with mucous
sediment or mixed with bloody lumps. (After dulc., kal.
or phos. is sometimes suitable.)
ERIGERON: dysuria in teething children; the children
cry on voiding urine, the calls for which are frequent; in-
creased secretion of urine, having a very strong odor; vesi-
cal irritation from calculi.
Eupatorium-purpureum: constant desire to pass water
accompanied by a cutting, aching pain in the bladder; most
excruciating smarting and burning in the urethra upon void-.
ing the urine; passes a few drops at a time and is obliged to
make the effort very often.
KALI-CARB.: violent cutting and tearing in the bladder,
neck of the bladder and urethra; less urine and fiery, with
a good deal of ineffectual urging.
NUX-VOM.: frequent urging to urinate with violent pains
during and after micturition, which is very scanty; burning
pain in the urethra, bladder and kidneys; contractive pain
in the urethra after urinating; is suitable to patients who use
a great deal of spirits, and who suffer with hæmorrhoids.
PHOSPHORUS: retention of urine as if there were an ob-
stacle in the urethra with pain in the abdomen when the last
drops are discharged; contractive pain in the bladder, or
stitches from the neck of the bladder to the anus.
POLYGONUM-P.: painful cutting and feeling of strangulation
at the neck of the bladder, while urinating, lasting a long

time after; pains in the bladder; frequent and profuse dis-
charge of clear, white or straw-colored urine.
PULSATILLA: the urging to urinate is attended by aching,
burning and cutting pains in the region of the bladder; heat
and redness of the region and sometimes complete suppression
of urine; or scanty painful discharge of slimy urine, or of
bloody urine with purulent sediment.
SULPHUR: in obstinate cases, the urine is mixed with mucus
or blood, burning in the urethra after micturition. (After
sulph., calc. is frequently suitable, especially when the dis-
ease is caused by suppression of hæmorrhoids; if the burning
pains do not yield to calc., give ars. or carbo.-veg.

meningitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, violent pains in the stomach,
enteritis, &c., acute cutaneous eruptions, vomiting, diarrhea,
&c., give the remedies indicated under these respective heads.
In every
local inflammation, no matter what organ is
affected, Aconite is the principal remedy when the fever is
violent, with thirst, dry, burning heat, and a hard (full or not
full) pulse; Acon. should be continued until the inflammatory
pulse is subdued. Very sensitive persons sometimes require
the alternate use of Coffea and Acon.

GONORRHOEA: § 1. The chief remedy through all the
stages is and remains Cannabis-sat., not in water, but every
day (morning or evening) three pellets, dry, on the tongue.
This will produce a favorable change in a few days, without
the intervention of any other remedy, provided the patient
keeps perfectly quiet and abstains totally from all heating
drinks, and from coitus.
§ 2. If Cannabis does not suffice, and a remuant remains
after a couple of weeks, use Merc.-sol. 3, or sulph., or alter-
nate the two remedies, till a perfect cure is established. Give
Merc. for greenish or puriform discharge, and sulph. for
serous, whitish, painless discharge.
CANTHARIDES: Are indicated by violent inflammation, sup-
pression of urine, priapism, painful erections, &c.
ACONITE and GELSEMINUM are sometimes excellent for vio-
lent pains.

palpitation of the heart, anguish, restlessness, aggravation on
lying down; pale face, expression of anguish in the counte-
nance: copious discharge of blood from time to time, even
when coughing but very little. (After Acon. are sometimes
suitable: Ars. and ipec.)
ARNICA: The hæmorrhage is caused by mechanical injury,
fall, blow on the breast or back; or for: slight expectoration
of black and coagulated blood, with heavy breathing, stitch-
ing, burning and contraction in the chest, palpitation of the
heart, great heat in the abdomen, and fainting fits; or for:
discharge of bright-red, frothy blood, mixed with mucus and
coagulated lumps; tickling under the sternum; stitching in

dry cough, especially at night, obliging the patient to get up;
frequent sudden starting from sleep; also suitable to drun-
kards, particularly if Op. and nux-vom. should not be suffi-
cient. (In such a case, Ars. is sometimes suitable after Hyos-
cyamus.)

is occasioned by suppression of the hæmorrhoidal flux, by a
fit of anger or by a cold. (In the latter case Sulph. is fre-
quently suitable after Nux-vom.; Hyos. and Ars, are espe-
cially suitable to drunkards.)
OPIUM: Suitable to persons who are addicted to drinking,
in severe cases; or for: discharge of a thick, frothy blood;
the cough is aggravated by swallowing; oppression or heavy
breathing and anguish; burning at the heart, tremor of the
arms and feeble voice; anxious sleep with sudden starting;

HEPATITIS.
cold sweat; in most cases relief is obtained by one dose,
which may be followed by a second dose in one hour; but if
no relief sets in after the third dose, give Sulphur. (See
below.)
NUX-VOM.: The swelling is less painful or sensitive to con-
tact, and the vomiting is less violent, but there is great diffi-
culty of breathing; the incarceration is caused by a cold, ex-
posure to heat, by a fit of anger or by chagrin, or also by irre-
gular living, &c. (May be repeated every two hours.)
OPIUM: If no relief is obtained after the second dose of
Nux, or if the following symptoms occur from the commence-
ment: Red face; distended, hard abdomen; putrid eructa-
tions or vomiting of fæcal matter. (Repeat every fifteen
minutes until relieved.)
If the vomiting should be attended by cold sweat and cold-
ness of the extremities, Veratr. deserves a preference; and
if no improvement takes place after the second dose, give⚫
Bell.
SULPHUR: If Aconite remains without effect, or if the
bilious vomiting should change to sour. If, after giving the
Sulphur, the patient should go to sleep, do not disturb him
for some hours at least.
If gangrenous symptoms should set in, give Lach.; or,
Ars. if Lach. should not suffice.

However, rupia and ecthyma being closely related to each
other, externally at least, the same remedies will probably do
for either eruption. Ecthyma seems to require more parti-
cularly: Ars. merc. rhus. sulph.; or, Borax. cham. staph.

cate: Carb.-veg. or Hep., provided it is the dry itch, or Čaust.,
if a few pustules should have supervened. The symptoms
which remain after Carb.-veg. or Hep. frequently yield to
Sep. or Veratr.
§ 3. For pustulous itch give first Sulph. and Lyc. alter-
nately as above. If the itch should become drier, give Carb.-
veg. or Merc. Give Caust. once a day, if Sulph. or Lyc.
remain without effect. If Caust. should not produce a change
in two or three days, give a dose of Mercury every forty-
eight hours.
If ulcers should form, give Clem. or Rhus-t.; if the pus-
tules should change to large vesicles of a yellowish or bluish
color, give Lach.

or Caust.; or, Calc. dulc. nitr.-ac. puls. selen. sep. If mis-
managed by the Sulphur and Mercurial-ointment, give: Chin.
and Caust. alternately, and then the above-mentioned reme-
dies.
The so-called bakers' itch requires: 1) Sulph. lyc.; or, 2)
Calc. dulc. rhus. and graph.
§ 5. Other eruptions are easily confounded with the itch.
Impetigo, eczema, &c., exactly resembling the itch, may be
gradually developed by uncleanliness, vermin; and the only
difference between these eruptions and the itch is, that the
acarus, this only true pathognomonic characteristic of the
itch, is wanting in the former.
For acarous itch, Sulph. is undoubtedly the principal spe-
cific, though it seems by no means impossible that Caust.
merc., &c., might cause such an alteration in the cutaneous
exhalations as would lead to the destruction of the acarus,
which I regard as the cause, not the effect, of the itch. Í
know of a young man who contracted an eruption in conse-
quence of having slept in an unclean bed on a journey, and
who removed it by a wash of tobacco-juice and vinegar.
ITCHING OF THE SKIN.
287
"
This acarous itch admits of a mere external treatment,
with the Sulphur-ointment, without exposing the patient to
the danger of contracting secondary diseases. Of course I
do not wish to be understood as if I would sanction the
treatment, by external applications, of the various itch-like
eruptions where the acarus is not present. These are the
eruptions to which Hahnemann's psora-doctrine should be
applied, and the suppression of which, by salves and washes,
will induce the various secondary affections enumerated by
Hahnemann and Autenrieth.
The proper way, therefore, would be to distingish, 1) Sca-
bies acarosa, which can be treated externally without danger,
provided the acarus is the cause, not the effect of the disease;
2) Scabies Impetiginosa, eczematica, &c., dynamic diseases
requiring a purely internal treatment.
As regards symptoms, I recommend for eruptions seated
in the folds of joints, and especially in the hands and between
the fingers, if characterized by itching:
a) Generally: 1) Sulph. 2) Carb.-veg. caust. merc. selen.
sep. sulph. 3) Ant. ars. lach. veratr. 4) Coloc. dulc. cupr.

kal. natr.-m. n.-vom. op. puls. ruta. sec. sep.
BELLADONNA: The pains come on suddenly and disappear
after a time, as suddenly as they came; spasmodic contrac-
tions of the neck, which is hot, dry and tender; throbbing
headache, with great sensibility to light and noise.
GELSEMINUM: Cutting in the abdomen, from before back-
wards and upwards, rendering the labor-pains useless.

tractions.
NATR.-MUR.: Very sad and foreboding, so much so that
labor goes on very slowly, from feeble pains.

§ 1. For lice on the head and other parts of the body,
the best remedy is cleanliness and regular habits. If lice
should have formed, use:
For lice on the head: Frequent washing with vinegar,
mixed with part of a solution of one spoonful of tobacco-
juice in a tumblerful of water, or snuff in place of the juice.
If the scalp should not be sound, or if the children are very
small, it is best to use the vinegar without tobacco-juice.
The same mode of washing should be adopted for lice on
other parts of the body.
Tobacco-juice is likewise the best remedy for lice of the
sexual organs, either in the shape of a wash of equal parts
of tobacco-juice and vinegar, or of an ointment made of snuff
and lard. If the use of tobacco should induce unpleasant
symptoms, diarrhoea, vomiting, &c., Puls. will remove them
very speedily.
If the lice should have got into one's clothes, those have
to be heated in an oven; nothing else will clean them.
§ 2. Spontaneous generation of lice in the skin or in boils
and tumors on the skin, requires: 1) Ars. chin. staph.; or, 2)
LICHEN.LITHIASIS.

LIENITIS, SPLENITIS, and other affections of the spleen.
Principal remedies: 1) Agn. arn. bry. caps. chin. ign. n.-vom.
sulph.; or, 2) Acon. ferr. iod. mez.?
Acute lienitis requires principally: China.; also, Acon. ară.
ars. bry. n.-vom. Acon. when there is inflammatory fever.
ARNICA: China being insufficient, especially for aching,
stitching pains arresting the breathing, or for typhoid symp-
toms, with languor, listlessness, dullness of sense; the patient
does not think that he is very sick.
ARSENICUM: Frequent bloody diarrhoeic stools, with burn-
ing, great debility; or when the disease assumes an intermit-
tent character, and China is insufficient.
BRYONIA: The swelling continuing after giving China,
Ars. or Nux-v., with stitching pains in the region of the
spleen during motion.
CHINA: After Acon., or even from the commencement, for
aching, stitching pains, or when the disease has an intermit-
tent character.
NUX-VOMICA: After Chin. or Ars., the swelling and the
aching pain in the stomach continuing, and the general state
of the patient being the same.
For constipation, swelling and induration of the spleen,
give: Ars. caps. chin. ign. sulph. ; or, iod. mez. ?

Inflammation of the tendinous sheaths and synovial mem-
branes first require Sulph., then Silic., if no change should
take place in twenty-four hours.
If the periosteum should have been involved, Sil. is the
principal remedy; otherwise try Calc. or sulph, in alternation
with Sil.

and tenderness.
PLATINA: Sexual passion altogether too strong; burning
paroxysmal pains in ovaries, with stitches in the forehead.
STAPHYSAGRIA: In many cases, particularly where the

extends all through the left iliac region into the groin, and
sometimes in the left leg; the pain is frequently excited by
walking or riding, and becomes so severe that she has to lie
down.

PAROTITIS. The best rémedy for acute parotitis is Merc.
in most cases a specific, though Aur. is sometimes indicated.
Erysipelatous inflammation, or metastasis to the brain, with
disappearance of the swelling, stupor and delirium, require
Bell., or hyosc., if bell. should not be sufficient.
In case Merc. should have been previously abused, or in
case it should not be sufficient, or the swelling should com-
mence to harden, with hectic fever, &c., Carb.-veg. is indi-
cated. This remedy is generally indicated when the patient
very hoarse and there is a metastasis to the stomach.

Compare vesicular erysipelas, which is so much like pem-
phigus that the same remedies may perhaps be employed for
either.
We have no written evidence of the treatment of this dis-
ease; nevertheless, the remedies which have been recom-
mended by Hahnemann, for phagedenic blisters, or the so-
called Fressblasen, (spreading and corrosive blisters), may be
tried for pompholix, though these blisters seem to be of the
class of ecthyma rather than pompholix.
PERITONITIS.-Principal remedies: 1) Acon. bell. bry.

Comp.: ENTERITIS, METRITIS, PUERPERAL FEVER, INTER-
MITTENT FEVER, &c.
PETECHIA, MORBUS MACULOSUS.
Petechia which occur in typhus putridus, require: Ars.

Phimosis from friction or some other mechanical cause, re-
quires Arn., and if inflammation should be present, give Acon.,
then Arn., and if Arn. should not be sufficient, try Rhus.-t.
or Euphrasia.
If caused by uncleanliness, Acon. or Merc., or Sulph. will
be found sufficient.
If by chemical or poisonous substances, &c., give: Acon.
bell. bry. camph.
Suppuration requires Merc. or Caps. or Hep., and subse-
quent indurations: Lach. or Sulph. or Sep.
For threatening gangrene, give: Ars. or Lach. or Canth.
To little children, give: Acon. or Merc., or Calc. and
Sulph.

frequently, and to onanists.
CONIUM: Pale redness of the eye-ball, with congested ves-
sels of the conjunctiva, suitable to scrofulous subjects.
EUPHRASIA: Headache, the light of the candle seeming to

thing that can be rubbed off; diplopia, or obscuration of
sight.
STAPHYSAGRIA: Blackness or scintillations before one's
eyes, or flames, especially at night, or halos around the can-
dle-light; with dimness of sight.
VERATRUM: Black motes or sparks before the eyes, with
diplopia.
Compare: OPHTHALMIA and AMBLYOPIA.
PLAGUE, ORIENTAL.-The best remedies seem to be: 1)
Ars. bell. carb.-veg. chin. rhus. 2) Bry. hep. lach. sil. sulph.
PLETHORA.—Such a thing as too much blood does not
exist, and the symptoms which seemed to point to an excess
of blood, frequently yield as by magic to: Î) Acon. bell. ferr.
hyos. merc. n.-vom. phos. puls. sulph. 2) Arn. aur. bry. calc.
chin. croc. dig. graph. lyc. natr.-m. nitr. nitr.-ac. rhus. sep.
stram. thuj., to be chosen in every case according to the
symptoms.
PLEURITIS, PLEURISY.-The principal remedy is
Acon., a few pellets in water, a tablespoonful every two or
three hours. After Acon., if the improvement should not
continue, give Bry., as above; and if sensitiveness to the
weather should still remain, give Sulphur after Bry. Com-
plicated cases may require: Chin. kal. lach. n.-vom. squill.;
and perhaps: Arn. gran.?

§ 2. The principal remedy in the first stage is Acon., after
which Bry. may be given, to be continued until the breath-
ing is easier and the expectoration looks better.
If after bry. weakness of the chest, oppression and cough
should remain, give Phos. or Sulph., or Chin. lach, lyc. sil.
§ 3. If HEPATIZATION should already exist, before a phy-

PNEUMONIA.
sician is called in, Acon. and bry. may still be of great use,
but the principal remedy is Sulph., a few pellets in a tumbler
full of water, a tablespoonful every three hours.
If symptoms of suppuration clearly show themselves, give :
1) Lach phos. 2) Bell. sulph. Or when expectoration is
tardy and the lungs full of pus: Carb.-v. seneg. merc.
*
For inflammation of the RIGHT LUNG, with bilious symp-
toms, Tart. is frequently very serviceable.
§ 4. For ASTHENIC PNEUMONIA, (pneumonia notha), as we
see it in old people, with danger of paralysis of the lungs,
Acon. is likewise the principal remedy, after which, if another
paroxysm should set in, Merc. should be given.
Bell. should be given after Merc. if a spasmodic constric-
tion of the chest, with dry, hacking cough, should remain, or
Cham, if the breathing continue wheezing. After Cham.
N.-vom. is frequently suitable.
Should no change take place after Merc. give Ipec., espe-
cially if the breathing be anxious and hurried, or Verat.-alb.,
if the extremities are cold, with constrictions of the chest
and great anxiety, or Ars. if the patient continues to sink,
with suffocative paroxysms.
§ 5. TYPHOID pneumonia first requires Op., then some-
times Arn. or rhus.
If no change should occur after these remedies, give Verat.
or Ars.; if the debility and rattling increase, Bry. and Rhus.-t.,
Ipec. and Ars., or Ars. and Verat. alternately, are very fre-
quently useful. Should the improvement not continue, give
Sulph., and then again one of the former remedies, which
seemed to be most beneficial.
BED-SORES, especially if gangrenous, require Chin, and ars
For OBSCURATION OF SIGHT give Bell., and if the strength
should continue to fail, give Natr.-m.
§ 6. If symptoms of INCIPIENT PHTHISIS should set in after
pneumonia, or if the inflammation should threaten to become
chronic, or if the existence of TUBERCLES should have to be
suspected, give Sulph.; or, 2) Amm. lach. lyc. phos. ; or, 3)
Ars. aur. calc. hep. kal. nitr. nitr.-ac. ol.-jec. stann. sulph..ac.
If PURULENT EXPECTORATION should remain after pneumo-
nia: 1) Chin. ferr, hep. lach. lyc. merc. sulph. 2) Dros. dulc.
laur. led. puls. 3) Bell. ? hyosc. ? phos.-ac.?
§ 7. Particular indications:
ACONITE: In the initiatory stage, with the following symp-
toms: chill of more or less severity, general feeling of ma-
laise; sense of oppression of the chest; more or less diffi-
PNEUMONIA.
361
culty of breathing, which is shortened and accelerated; fine
stitching pains in the chest; sense of fullness in the chest ;
short dry cough; soreness in the chest like excoriation; heat
in the chest cutaneous congestion, hot perspiration, pulse
full, hard and quick; disinclination to all movements; in the
second stage: cough after drinking; cough excites pain in
the larynx, relieved by lying on the back, aggravated by
lying on either side; cough, with stitching pains in the chest,
with thin frothy expectoration, or blood-streaked; oppression
and acceleration of the respiration; sense of weariness and
exhaustion of the chest; burning shooting or burning press-
ing pains in the chest, with painfulness to external pressure.
(Bry. follows well after Acon.)
BELLADONNA: In the initiatory stage, when the symptoms
of hypercemia of the brain are present.
BRYONIA: Anxiety from oppressed respiration; pressure
on the middle or lower part of the sternum; a bruised feel-
ing in the chest; the short dry cough is somewhat looser;
expectoration not yet free, though more copious; it is yellow
and thick, or mixed with blood; all the sufferings are in-
creased by motion; especially indicated when the pleura or
the bronchial mucous surface are also attacked with stabbing
pains through the chest; inclination to lie perfectly still.
IODINE: (Croupous pneumonia): Anxiety and oppression
of the chest, with burning, tearing or stabbing pains; sensa-
tion when breathing as if something resisted the expansion
of the chest; cough, with dyspnea and blood-streaked ex-
pectoration.
KALI-HYDROIOD.: If Bell is insufficient for the congestion
of the brain; also in secondary croupous pneumonia during
the course of a bronchitis, when Phos. did not suffice; accord-
ing to Kafka, at the beginning, when the disease localizes
itself.
PHOSPHOR.: (Catarrhal pneumonia): Dryness of the air-
passages; sense of excoriation in the upper part of the chest ;
dry, hard cough; cough after drinks; sense of pressure, like
a weight, in the upper part of the chest; stitching pains
when coughing, moving and breathing; bruised soreness,
especially to the touch; loose cough without expectoration,
with sensation of rawness of the chest; cough with white
expectoration, difficult to detach; fine bloody streaks in the
mucous expectoration; the breath is very short after each
cough; anxiety and heaviness of the chest, as if it were
pressed together with obstructed respiration. The stronger

the prevalence of the bronchial element the earlier its admin-
istration may be called for, while just the reverse is true in
the pleuritic variety. In the pulmonary variety, where the
hepatization of the affected lung is extensive, it is indicated
in the latter part of the period of the deposit and the early
part of that of absorption. (Sulphur is frequently indicated
after Phos.
SULPHUR: Sudden dry cough, as if the lung would be torn
out, with increased pain in the head; loose cough, with sensa-
tion of excoriation and pressure on the chest and thick mu-
cous expectoration, also with rattling in the trachea and
hoarseness; expectoration of greenish masses of sweet taste,
offensive breath; the greatest dyspnea; oppressed breathing
when speaking; obstructed breathing in sleep, she must be
waked to prevent suffocation; anxiety and weakness of the
chest; severe shooting pains through the chest; copious
sweating from the least exertion. It is mostly indicated in
the stage of hepatization with threatening suppuration, but
only in cases free from complications with other diseases,
where it accomplishes the absorption of the infiltration.
TARTARUS-EMETICUS: Paroxysms of cough, with suffocative
arrest of breathing; rattling, hollow cough; cough, with
heat and moist hands, sweat about the forehead, anxious op-
pression of the chest, with rising of heat, reaching as far as
the heart; dyspnoea, with desire to cough and a quantity of
rattling mucus in the chest, or oedema pulmonum; impend-
ing paralysis of the lungs; cyanosis.
§ 8. Use moreover.
ARNICA: If the disease be caused by some external injury.
ARSENICUM: Fetid or dingy-green expectoration, pointing
to approaching gangrene, Chin. or Lach. being insufficient;
burning and heat in the chest; pale face, cold extremities;
prostration.
CACTUS-GR.: Oppression of respiration, pricking pains, acute
intense cough; sanguinolent sputa; hard, quick vibrating
pulse; feeling of constriction in the chest, preventing free
speech; sharp wandering pains in the chest, especially in the
scapular region.
CANNABIS: Difficult, greenish expectoration, with delirium
during the fever and vomiting of greenish bilious matter;
frequent, hard, teasing cough, sometimes even incessant, with
dullness on percussion. Mostly indicated late in the third
stage, or for complication with diseases of the heart or the
larger vessels.
PNEUMONIA.
363
CAPSICUM: Broncho-pneumonia in phlegmatic, indolent or
suspicious persons.
ĈARB.-VEG.: In the third stage; rattling in chest; cough
by spells; brownish expectoration; bluish face and lips;

POISON, ADIPIC.-This dreadful poison sometimes de-
velops itself in badly kept sausages or other pork. Accord-
ing to Hering, a beverage composed of equal portions of
vinegar and water, to be taken in large quantities, is the best
antidote. It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle.
Instead of vinegar lemon juice may be employed; and, if
the patient should desire, these acids may be used alternately
with sugar, black coffee, or fresh black tea.
If the dryness of the throat should continue after using
these remedies, and if even slimy injection should not pro-
cure an evacuation from the bowels, give Bry., and continue
it as long as the symptoms continue to be unfavorable.
The ailments which remain after Bry., sometimes yield to
Phos.-ac.; and, if paralysis or consumption should set in,
give Ars. or kreas.
POISONING, TOXICATION.
§ 1. We refer the reader to Dr. Hering's treatise on
“Poisons,” from which the principal items contained in this
work about poisons and their antidotes have been borrowed.
§ 2. In treating a case of poisoning, two things are re-
quired: 1) Removal of the exciting cause; and, 2) Treat-
ment of the disease occasioned by the poisoning.
This treatment is to be conducted in every case agreeable
to the principles of the new school.
The removal of the poisonous substances should be effected
by the simplest and most innocent method, either with the
finger, or, if this should be impossible, as in the case of poi-
sons that had been swallowed, we recommend the following
means suggested by Hahnemann and Hering:
1) Excite vomiting or stool by the simplest means, copious
administration of tepid water, irritating the fauces by means
of a feather or something similar; placing on the tongue a
pinch of salt, snuff or mustard; or, if neither of these means
should be sufficient, resort to injections of tobacco-smoke.
2) Neutralize the poison by means of: The white of an egg,
vinegar, or lemon-juice, coffee, camphor, milk, oil, soap, mu-
cilaginous drinks, tea, wine, sugar; or, in some cases: am-
moniacal gas, iron-rust, charcoal, kitchen-salt, epsom-salt,
366
POISONING.
sweet-almond oil, spiritus-nitr.-dulc., potash, boiled starch,
&c.
§ 3. Particular indications:
WHITE OF AN EGG, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of
water, and used as a drink, especially for: Metallic substances,
such as quicksilver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead,
and sulphuric-acid; when the patient complains of violent
pains in the stomach or abdomen, with tenesmus, or diarrhoea
and pains at the anus.
VINEGAR: Antidotes poisoning with alkaline substances;
but is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corro-
sive vegetable substances, Arsenic, and a large quantity of
salts. In many cases it removes the ill effects of Aconite,
Opium, narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, belladon-
na, carbonic-acid gas, hepar-sulphuris, poisonous muscles
and fish, and even of adipic-acid. The vinegar may be drank
or administered by the rectum, alternately with mucilagin-
ous substances. The vinegar should be as pure as possible.
Crab-vinegar is, of itself, poisonous.
COFFEE: Strong black coffee, the beans being little roasted,
and drank as hot as possible. Indispensable for a large num-
ber of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoxica-
tion, loss of consciousness, or mental derangement, delirium,
&c., in general antidoting narcotic substances, such as:
Opium, nux-vom., belladonna, narcotic mushrooms, poison-
ous sumach, bitter almonds, prussic-acid and all those sub-
stances containing it, Bell., colocynth, valer., cicuta and cham.
In case of poisoning with Antimony, Phosphor. and Phos-
phoric-acid, coffee is no less indispensable.
CAMPHOR: Principal antidote of all vegetable substances,
especially such as have a corrosive effect, or when vomiting
and diarrhoea, pale face, cold extremities and loss of consci-
ousness are present. Camphor is a specific remedy for the
ill effects of poisoning insects, especially cantharides, whe-
ther administered internally or externally. Likewise for the
effects of so-called worm-medicines, tobacco, bitter almonds,
and other fruits containing prussic-acid. It is likewise use-
ful for the secondary affections remaining after poisoning
with acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, poisonous mushrooms,
&c., after the poisonous substance itself had been removed
from the stomach by means of vomiting, &c.
MILK: Less useful than is supposed. To procure an arti-
ficial covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous sub-
stances are to be preferred. Fat milk (or cream) is suitable
POISONING.
367
in all cases where oil is, and hurtful where oil is. Curdled
or sour milk is suitable or not suitable in all cases where
vinegar is or is not.
OLIVE OIL: Less useful than is believed. It is of no use in
cases of metallic poisoning, and even hurtful in cases of poi-
soning with Arsenic. It is very bad for the ill effects of
Canthar. This remark applies to poisoning with any other
insect, or if the poison should have got into one's eye. Oil
may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects from the
ear in case they should have got into it. Oil is most suitable
for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as: nitric-acid, sul-
phuric-acid, &c. It is sometimes useful in cases of poisoning
with alkalies, to be administered alternately with vinegar,
and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms.
MUCILAGINOUS SUBSTANCES, drinks, or injections of mucila-
ginous substances, should be resorted to in cases of poisoning
with alkalies, especially when administered alternately with
vinegar.
SOAP, common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk
of hot water, and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many
cases of poisoning. It may be drank by the cupful,―a cup-
ful every two, three or four minutes, in all cases where the
white of an egg is indicated but does not produce sufficient
relief. Soap is particularly useful in all cases of poisoning
with metallic substances, especially Arsenic, lead, &c. Like-
wise for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as: Sulphuric-
acid, nitric-acid, &c., with alum, corrosive vegetable sub-
stances, castor oil, &c. Soap is hurtful in cases of poisoning
with alkalies, such as: Lye, nitrate of silver, potash, sodů,
oleum-tartari, ammonium-muriaticum, (Salmiac) ammonium-
carbonicum, caustic or burnt lime, barytes, &c.
SUGAR, or sugar-water, one of the best remedies in many
cases. In case of poisoning with mineral acids or alkalies, it
is best to resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar
is not hurtful. In case of poisoning with metallic substances,
various kinds of paint, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper,
alum, &c., sugar is preferable to every other remedy, and
not till the patient has been relieved by the sugar, administer
the white of an egg or soap-water alternately with sugar.
Sugar is likewise an excellent antidote in cases of poisoning
with arsenic, or corrosive vegetable substances.

IRON-RUST: For arsenic.

EPSOM-SALTS: For alkaline poisons.
CHARCOAL: For foul fish, foul meat, poisonous mushrooms,

KITCHEN-SALT: For nitrate of silver and poisonous wounds.
MAGNESIA: For acids.
SWEET-ALMOND OIL: For acids.
POTASH: For acids.
STARCH: For iodine.
SPIRITS OF NITRE: For alkaline poisons and animal sub-
stances.
TEA: For adipic-acid and poisonous honey.
WINE: For noxious vapors and poisonous mushrooms.
5. The first thing we have to do, in treating a case of
poisoning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to
administer suitable antidotes.
If we should not be able to ascertain what kind of poison
had been swallowed, we should first administer the white of
an egg; and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee.
If we should know that the poison is:
a) A metallic substance, we have to give: first the white
of an egg, sugar-water, soap-water, and afterwards, for the
remaining ailments: Sulph., which is a real antidote to
metals.
b) If acids and corrosive substances, give: 1) Soap-water;
2) Magnesia, dissolved in water; 3) Chalk-water; 4) Alka-
lies or potash dissolved in water, taking a tablespoonful as
long as the vomiting continues. Afterwards mucilaginous
drinks, and alternately Coff. and Op. as homoeopathic anti-
dotes.
As regards the remaining ailments, give Puls. for sulphuric-
acid; Bry. for muriatic-acid; Acon. for the other acids, and
especially crab-apple vinegar. If the skin should have been
corroded by poisons, apply soap-water, or a watery solution
of Caust.; and if corrosive substances should have got into
the eyes, apply sweet-almond oil, or fresh unsalt-butter.
c) For alkaline substances: 1) Vinegar and water, in
large quantities; 2) Lemon-juice, or acids from other fruits,
diluted with much water; 3) Sour milk; 4) Mucilaginous
drinks, or injections. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poison-
ing with Barytes; but epsom-salt dissolved in water, renders
good service; afterwards: Camph, or Nitr.-spir. The se-
condary effects of poisoning with potash, require: Coff, or
Carb.-v.; and those of poisoning with spirits of Ammonia,
Hep.
POISONING.
369
d) For the inhalation of noxious vapors: sprinkle the
patient with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapors
of a solution of chlore; afterwards, after the return of con-
sciousness, give black coffee, or a few doses of Op. or Bell.
(See: VAPORS.)
e) For vegetable poisons: 1) Camphor, by olfaction, or
sometimes a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2)
Black coffee or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable
juices. The best antidotes for corrosive vegetable juices, are
soap-water and milk.
f) For animal poisons: See the single poisons, such as:
Cantharides, adipic poison, stings of insects, fish poison,
poisonous honey, &c. For toad poison, or similar poisons,
if they should have got into the stomach, give powdered
charcoal, stirred up with oil or milk; or let the patient smell
of the sweet spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in,
and afterward give Ars. If a poison of this kind should
have got into the eye, give Acon.
§ 6. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poison-
ous animals, Hering proposes the following mode of treat-
ment: For the bites of poisonous serpents, mad dogs, or
other poisonous animals, apply heat at a distance, for which
purpose anything may be used which is handy at the time:
a red-hot iron, incandescent piece of coal, or even a burning
cigar; hold this as near as possible without burning the skin.
The heat should be kept up uniformly, and should be con-
centrated upon the wound exclusively. The edges of the
wound should be covered over with oil or fat, and this should
be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. If no oil or fat
can be had, use soap, or even saliva. Wipe off carefully
every thing which is discharged from the wound. Continue
the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and
stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, con-
tinue to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects
of the poison commence to disappear.
§ 7. At the same time administer internal remedies. In
the case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of
salt-water from time to time, or a pinch of salt or powder, or
a few pieces of garlic.
If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a
tablespoonful of wine or brandy every two or three minutes;
continue this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy
at every return of a paroxysm.
If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be

felt nearer the heart; if the wound, at the same time, should
be bluish, checkered like marble and swollen, with vomiting,
vertigo and diarrhoea, give Ars. 30, and another dose in half
an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get worse, or
only in three hours, if they should remain unchanged; if an
improvement should set in after the first dose, do not repeat
the medicine until the symptoms get worse again.
If Ars., even if repeated, should have no effect, give Bell.
In some cases Senega may be tried. The chronic sequela of
the bite of a serpent require: Phos.-ac. and Merc.
§ 8. If the bite should have been inflicted by a mad dog,
apply heat at a distance, as above, and for the remaining
treatment, see HYDROPHOBIA.
If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is
not mad, but furious, give Hydrophobin; which is recom-
mended by Hering.
§ 9. Wounds which have become poisonous in conse-
quence of decayed animal matter or pus having got into
them, require Ars.
To guard against unpleasant consequences in case we should
have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wounds
or ulcers, or men and animals infected with contagious dis-
eases, we should hold our hands for ten or fifteen minutes
near as strong a heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash
them with soap. The use of Chlore in such cases is well
known.

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

or are preceded by great anguish or despondency; or at-
tended by spasms, lock-jaw, convulsive motion of the eyes
and eyelids, &c.
SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS:
§ 1. The principal remedy is Merc., but we are seldom
able to cure a primitive chancre by high dilutions, as they
only aggravate the disease, by irritating the nervous system
of the patient.
§ 2.
The best way to cure a primitive chancre in its acute
stage, is to give a dose of the first or second trituration every
day or every other day, till amelioration takes place; without
troubling ourselves much, how the ulcers may look in the
first days. After eight or ten days, (or even after two or
three days) red tips, being healthy granulations can be per-
ceived at the bottom of the ulcers, which continue to increase.
During the time the ulcer sometimes bleeds and the edges
become depressed.
If no benefit occurs from the use of merc., Cinnabar is an
excellent remedy, but should proud flesh start up from the
ulcer, Nitric-acid 6, a few pellets dissolved in water, a tea-
spoonful morning and evening is indicated, provided the
SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS.
447
syphilitic character of the ulcer, that is, its lardaceous appear-
ance has disappeared under the continued use of Merc.
Nitr.-ac. is likewise excellent for chancres, that had been
inaffectually treated with large doses of Merc. It should not
be given when the chancres heal of themselves, without
Mercury.
§ 3. Every chancre, which is not treated, or improperly
treated with Mercury, becomes chronic after the lapse of
from six to eight weeks, losing its lardaceous appearance and
raised edges, and exhibiting a red surface with a hard bottom
and secreting a thin bad pus. Nitr.-ac. should not be given
for such chancres, for it favors the breaking out of general
syphilis, the symptoms of which are roseola on the abdomen,
and pimples on the forehead and region of the stomach.
The principal remedy is Mercurius, which should be con-
tinued, giving one dose every 48 hours, until the chancre and
the spots and pimples have disappeared. Should doubtful
symptoms develop themselves after the disappearance of the
chancre, and should their true nature, whether mercurial or
syphilitic, not be apparent, give: Aur. carb.-v. lach. nitr.-ac.
phos.-ac. phytol. thuj.
§ 4. Give for TRUE HUNTERIAN CHANCRE: merc. sol., or
merc.-præc.-rub.
For the ELEVATED: Præc.-rub. or cinnab., and if it should
spread and get fungous: Nitr. ac. 1.
For the SERPIGINOUS: Merc.-cor. or should this aggravate:
Sulph. 15, or nitr.-ac. 1—3.
OLD CHANCRES, treated for a long time with Mercury, re-
quire nearly always nitr.-ac.
Iris, Phytolacca, and perhaps Sanguinaria may also be re-
commended for the different forms and stages of chancre.
§ 5. SECONDARY CHANCRES IN THE THROAT require the
same treatment as the chronic chancre (2, 3 doses Merc. of
the third trituration, or lyc. nitr.-ac. phos.-ac. phytol. thuj.,
should the patient already have taken too much Mercury.
BUBOES, which, if not primitive, usually only appear when
the primitive chancre was driven away by caustics, and which
appear frequently before the cicatrization of the chancre, do
not need any special treatment and commonly disappear with
the primitive chancre by the use of Merc. But should they
appear after the cicatrization of the chancre or should the
patient have already taken to much mercury, nitr.-ac. is then
the chief remedy, or aur. carb.-a. badiaga. lach. sil. sulph.

day.)

the adjacent parts; Hep. and Rhus, when the swelling is
painful to the touch; Puls. when it is surrounded by a red
areola, &c.
For hard swellings, give: Baryt. carb.-an. carb.-v. con. iod.

ULCERS. § 1. Ulcers, without an exception, depend
upon a particular dyscrasia of the organism, and cannot be
radically healed except by means of remedies which are
capable of eradicating the dyscrasia, of which the ulcer is
the mere symptom. Nevertheless, the character, configura-
tion and other peculiarities of ulcers should not be left out
of consideration in selecting a remedy. These external cha-
racteristics of ulcers point generally to the following reme-

VAPORS, NOXIOUS, ill effects of. Hering proposes:
1. To counteract sulphuretted hydrogen: 1) Sprinkling
with water and vinegar, which should at the same time be
held under the patient's nose to inhale the vapor. 2) Chlore-
water, when the patient shows signs of life after having been
apparently dead; a few drops may be given internally. 3)
Black coffee, when the diluted vinegar does not agree, and
the patient complains of chilliness; 4) a few drops of good
wine, when great heat and debility set in.
§ 2. The vapors of coal are antidoted by: 1) Water and
vinegar; and after return of consciousness: 2) By a few
doses of Opium; or, 3) Bell. if Op. should be insufficient.
The ill effects of emanations from wood and loam-work in
recently built houses, are best treated with Sulph.-ac.

SARRACENIA: Recommended for the whole disease from
beginning to end; no characteristics yet!
TARTAR-EMETIC: If the exanthem is tardy in developing
itself with nausea, vomiting, sleepiness or for suppression of
the eruption; also in putrid variola.
THUJA: For the suppurative stage. Vaccinium and Varı-

§ 3. In the SPASMODIC period, with vomiting and bleeding
from the nose and mouth, the best remedies are: Caul. cin.
cupr. dros. verat., or 2) bell. merc.
CINA: During the paroxysm the children suddenly become
rigid, and the paroxysm is followed by a gurgling noise from
the throat to the abdomen; this remedy is a specific, when
the children are affected with the usual worm symptoms,
such as: ravenous appetite, cutting in the bowels, itching
of the anus, desire to rub one's nose or to bore with the
finger in it. (Comp.: Merc.)
CORALLIA: Violent spasmodic cough; firing minute guns.
of short barking cough all day, and for half an hour or so
toward evening, increasing to a violent spasmodic paroxysm;
severe paroxysm, followed by a loose cough with vomiting
of great quantities of very tough, ropy, stringy mucus.
CUPRUM: Cataleptic fits with unconsciousness and much
mucus on the chest; the body becomes rigid during the
WHOOPING-COUGH.
499
paroxysm with arrest of breathing and loss of consciousness,
vomiting after the paroxysms and rattling of mucus in the
chest between the paroxysms; with every paroxysm the
child appears as if it were really dead. (After cuprum
verat. is often suitable.)
DROSERA: Few, if any, paroxysms of violent coughing
until midnight, when violent paroxysms set in; the whoop
is well developed, often with bleeding at the nose and mouth
and sometimes tremendous fever; the paroxysms cease in the
morning or before noon; cough in violent spasmodic spells,
as if it would suffocate.
LEDUM: Dizziness; staggering after the paroxysm;
moaning and groaning during sleep; spasmodic contractions
of the diaphragm after the spell, so that inhalation becomes
double, sobbing-like, as we observe after hard crying-spells.
VERATRUM-ALB.: Dros. and Cupr. being insufficient, or
sometimes before these medicines, especially when the
children are very feeble with a sort of hectic fever, cold sweat,
especially on the forehead; small, hurried and feeble pulse;
great thirst; or the coughing causes an involuntary emission
of urine, and pain in the chest and loins; between the parox-
ysms the patients are in a comatose state and care not either
to move or converse; excessive weakness of the neck, so that
the children are scarcely able, to keep their head erect,
attended with rash over the whole body or only in the face
and on the hands.
§ 4. The convulsive form is not always fully developed,
and it frequently happens, that, at a period, when the whoop-
ing cough is epidemic, children are seized with a spasmodic
cough which is without a great many of the characteristics
of whooping-cough. The best remedies then are: Bell. bry.
iod. merc. sulph. tart.
BELLADONNA: Cerebral irritation, or the cough is preceded
by a painful sensation in the region of the stomach, with
bleeding of the nose and mouth, or ecchymoses in the eye;
or when other spasmodic symptoms, such as: tetanus, con-
vulsive asthma, &c., are present; or when the paroxysms
terminate in sneezing.
BRYONIA: When the child coughs almost always imme-
diately after eating or drinking and vomits what it has eaten,
after which it will return to the table, finish his meal and
then have another paroxysm of coughing and vomiting; fre-
quent paroxysms in the evening or at night.
CHAMOMILLA: The cough and vomiting are more frequent
500
WHOOPING-COUGH.
during the time of meal; fretful disposition; the cough is
worse at night, when crying, from cold air and during sleep;
better after getting warm in bed.
CAUSTICUM: Cough, after getting better, comes to a stand
still, and there remains a dry, hollow cough. (Com.: Phos.)
CONIUM: Cough mostly at night, with bloody expectora
tion; slight expectoration and no whoop.
FERRUM: Vomiting of the ingesta after every cough.
HYOSCIAMUS: Cough is always worse on lying down and
better on rising up or sitting up.
IODIUM: The cough is excited by tickling in the bronchi
with undulating inspirations during the paroxysms, which
are preceded by great anguish, attended with great exhaus-
tion and emaciation.
IPECACUANHA: The coughing is so rapid, the child scarcely
gets any chance to breathe; gets blue in the face, strangles
at every cough; stiffness of the body, suffocation, perspira-
tion on the forehead; worse in the room, better in the open
air.
KALI-CARB Sacculated swelling over the eyes.
LACHESIS: Great constant debility; cough worse after
sleeping, either in the night or day.
L'ACTUCA: Violent cough, with vomiting after every parox-
ysms, but without any other characteristic symptoms.
:
LOBELIA Stadium adynamicum, violent racking cough,
in paroxysms of long continuance, followed by profuse expec-
toration of ropy mucus, which adheres to the pharynx.
MERCURY: Double paroxysms of coughing, separated by an
interval of perfect rest; the child sweats very much at night,
and bleeds at the nose and mouth with every coughing
spell.
MEPHITES: Specific in some forms of spasmodic cough.
NUX-VOMICA: Frequent, very dry, hard cough, worse in
the morning; the child puts its hand up to its head, while
coughing; constipation.
PHOSPHORUS: Much hoarseness; almost total loss of voice
from the effects of the cough.
← PULSATILLA: Cough very loose from the beginning, worse
towards evening: vomits mucus at every fit of coughing;
diarrhoea.
SEPIA: The cough is always much worse in the morning,
when it is loose and terminates in an effort to vomit.
SILICEA: Worm-symptoms, when Cina did not suffice.
SQUILLA: Violent coryza, eyes full of water, the nose
WHOOPING-COUGH.
501
dribbles; rattling of mucus in the chest; every paroxysm
winds up with sneezing and involuntary discharge of urine
during paroxysm; morning aggravation.
SULPHUR: Frequent relapses without any known cause or
where the cause consists in exposure to cold in scrofulous
subjects; suppressed cough, dry and choking, sometimes
accompanied by vomiting.
TARTARUS: The vomiting is accompanied by diarrhoea with
great prostration, or the children vomit up their supper in
the first hours after midnight.
§ 5. If the convulsive period has run its course, and catar-
rhal symptoms remain, use: Arn. carb.-v. dulc. hep. puls.
ARNICA: Sore, bruised sensation all through the chest,
from violent paroxysms of coughing, so severe as to make the
child cry, followed again by a paroxysm of coughing. He
places his hands upon the chest, to support it during the
coughing fit. Severe congestion to the brain during the
cough with epistaxis and expectoration of foaming blood,
mixed with clots of blood; sometimes there is putrid mucus,
which cannot be expectorated, but is swallowed again; the
cough is occasional during the day, but more frequent and
severe in the evening, till midnight; aggravation from
motion, in the warmth and after drinking.
ARSENICUM: The cough is mostly in the day-time, with
arrest of breathing, with tough mucus in the chest, and ex-
pectoration of frothy mucus in lumps; asthmatic symptoms
with great debility and coldness of surface.
BARYTA-CARB.: Whooping cough in old people with rough-
ness in the throat and a tickling sensation in the pit of the
stomach. Aggravation in the evening before midnight; after
getting the feet cold; when lying on the left side; when
sleeping in a cold room and from thinking of it.
CARBO-VEG.: The catarrhal cough frequently becomes
spasmodic or the vomiting keeps up, though the other symp-
toms of whooping cough have disappeared.
CHELIDONIUM: A very loose, rattling cough remains a
long time, and does not improve any more.
COCCUS-CACTI: Every coughing spell is terminated by spit-
ting of large quantities of ropy mucus.
DULCAMARA: The catarrhal cough is accompanied by pro-
fuse expectoration of mucus.
HEPAR: Hoarse croupy night-cough; mucous rattling in
the chest, with choking; cough worse after exposure to

after coughing.
KALI-BICHROM. Choking cough and spitting out tough,
stringy mucus, which sticks to the throat, mouth and lips.
PULSATILLA: Moist cough with easy expectoration of serous
mucus.
§ 6. Although we have distinguished whooping cough
into stages, we wish to have it remembered, that the selection
of a remedy does not depend upon the name of the disease,
but upon the symptoms, the pathological character of the
disease and the state of the patient.
Compare: Bronchitis, croup, cough, &c.

cin. merc. sabad. 2) Sulph.; or: 3) Bell. calc. cham. chin.
cic. graph. hyos. lyc. natr.-m. n.-vom. rhus. ruta. sil. spig.
Fever with colic, disposition to vomit, hard and distended
abdomen, tenesmus or small slimy stools, require Acon.;
after which, in a few hours, Cin. may be given; and if neces-
sary, in 24 hours, Merc.
If the fever and colic should be attended with great thirst,
nervousness, sudden starting from sleep, and tendency to
start, give Bell., or Lach. if Bell. should not suffice.
For the fever, some have successfully given: Chin. cic. sil.
spig. For the colic and convulsions: Cic. For worm-colic
with canine hunger, diarrhoea and chilliness: Spig. For the
fever-paroxysms of scrofulous patients: Sil.
After these paroxysms have been subdued, a dose of Sul-
phur may be given, allowing it to act 4, 5, 6 weeks, and if
after the lapse of this period, worm-symptoms should still
manifest themselves, such as: Loss of flesh, voracious ap-

Arnica 30 may likewise be given internally; and if no result
should have been obtained in 24 hours, Rhus.-t., one dose,
allowing it to act until an improvement takes place. A second
dose of Rhus. may be given after the first cases to act; or,
if a pain should occasionally be experienced in the sprained
joint, Amm. ruta. should be resorted to; or: Agn. bell. bry.

weight, the principal remedy is Rhus.-t., especially when the
dorsal and cervical muscles and the vertebral column are
affected, and headache, pains in the back or gastric ailments
are experienced. If Rhus should not suffice, give: Calc. cocc.
natr. n.-vom. sulph.; or: Arn. bry. carb.-an. carb.-veg. graph.
kal. lyc. sep. sil. If hernia inguinalis should have been
caused by lifting heavy weight, or by straining the body,
give: 1) N.-vom. sulph.-ac. 2) Cocc, sulph. If a prolapsus
of the womb should have been occasioned by these causes,
N.-vom. is almost a specific remedy, and should be resorted
to before Bell. or Sep. are given.
