P. P. WELLs, M. D.,
WITH REPERTORY BY E. J. LEE, M. D.
THE HOMOEoPATHIC PHYSICIAN,
SUPPLEMENT No. 5,
1884.
PREFACE.

HIS little volume has been compiled for the
purpose of giving practitioners a small, yet
reliable pocket-assistant for the treatment of
diarrhoea and dysentery. It is not intended to be
a substitute for the most excellent work Of Dr.
Bell, which.treats of these troubles in a masterly
manner, but rather as a complementary volume,
treating the subjects from another standpoint.
This present volume consists of two parts. The
first comprises essays on the treatment of
diarrhoea and dysentery; the second, a full, com-
plete and reliable repertory. The essays, revised
for this volume, are from the pen of Dr P. P.
Wells; their purpose is twofold, both to give ther-
apeutic information on these complaints, and
better yet, at the same time, to illustrate the
method of homoeopathic prescribing. -
The repertory part has been compiled only
from the best sources, among which we may men-
tion: Bell on Diarrhoea, Ad. Lippe's Teact-Book,
Hering's Condensed Materia Medica, Allen's En-
cyclopaedia, Joslin on Cholera, C. Lippe's Re-
pertorv. E. J. L.

IDIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.
By the term diarrhoea, it is intended to express
in One word the following group:
Frequent discharges from the intestines of fecu-
lent, secreted, or undigested matter. It may be
of either alone or of either two or all of them
mixed. We propose in this paper a brief analysis
of these affections, in order to their more ready
homoeopathic treatment.
In order to do this, we observe that these frequent-
discharges are further diversified by the follow-
ing peculiarities, which are important to be noted
in the selection of a remedy for their cure. They
are painful or painless. The secreted discharges
are mucous, serous, or purulent. These and the
feculent are further characterized by difference
of color, as black, brown, gray, green, red, white, and
yellow; and by difference of odor, as of spoiled
eggs, putrid, acid, etc.; and also by difference of
time and circumstance by which the affection is
either excited or aggravated.
Painful: The first element of the above analy-
sis, the painful diarrhoeas, are related to curative
drugs by this quality in different degrees; i. e.,
some drugs produce diarrhoeas with intense pain,
others with less severe, and others again with
pains still more moderate. These distinctions
are to be noted in selecting the curative drugs.
(1.) Thus, for those with severest pains we have
Ars, Coloc., Jalap., Rheum, Rhus, Senna. (2) For
the second class, Bry., Carb-v., Caps., Cham.,
N. l
2 DIA RRFICEA AND DYSENTERY.
Dulc., Merc., Nux-v., Petr., Puls., Sulph., and
Verat. (3) For the less painful, Agar., Aur-mur.,
Anac., Asaf., Asar., Spig.
Painless : The painless diarrhoeas are treated
to drugs also in different degrees, i.e.; some medi-
cines are more and some less characterized by
them, and so are more or less frequently required
for their cure. There cannot be, as in the previ-
ous class, degrees of this peculiarity, but only a
difference in the degrees of tendency of the drugs
to produce this kind of affection. In the first
rank we may place Ars., Ferr., Hyos., Lyc., Phos.,
Ph-ac. Stann. Second, Bell., Cham., Chel., Chin.,
Op., Plat., Sulph. Third, Bor., Bov., Calc., Carb,
an., Cocc., Dulc., Graph., Hell., Ign., Laur., Mag-c.,
Merc., Nitr., Nitr-ac., Puls., Rhod., Rhus, Secale,
Verat., Zinc. -
Character of the pain : In a given case to be
prescribed for, it is ascertained to be painful or
painless, and after reference to the list of drugs
and to their classes, as above, how are we to de-
termine the one required for the cure? By the
continuance of the analysis to the other elements
of the case. And, first, consider the character of
the pain: and, second, the locality of it. Pains
with the diarrhoea may be burning, cutting, con-
stricting, pressing, dull, excoriating, etc. Diar-
rhoeas with burning pains, Ars. and its cognates.
But Ars. will not cure all cases with such pains.
Neither is it always the best remedy for some
cases which perchance it may cure ultimately.
If, for example, the burning be confined to the
lower part of the rectum, and is accompanied by
throbbing and sense of excoriation, with pain in
the back, continuing after the evacuation, Capsi-
cum is the remedy, and Arsenic will probably
fall to relieve. This very familiar example is
DIARREIOEA AND DYSENTERY. 8
given to show the necessity of carrying the analy-
sis of the leading features of cases forward to all
their relations if we would secure the best possi-
ble results of our prescriptions with certainty.
We can never neglect this with safety to our
patient or with honesty of practice.
With cutting pains, Coloc. and its cognates.
With Coloc. the pain is relieved by the evacua-
tions, is very sharp, doubles the patient up, is
accompanied with outcries, and often with slight
nausea; the pains are more paroxysmal than
with Ars., which in relation to cuttings in the
intestines it much resembles, and are rather of a
neuralgic than inflammatory character. With
constricting pains, Plumb. and its cognates. With
this remedy and also with Podophyllum there is
not only a sense of constriction, but a real retrac-
tion of the parieties of the abdomen. With press-
ing or squeezing pains, Nux-v. and its cognates.
With this remedy the pressure is more in the
upper part of the abdomen and sides. With pain
like excoriation, Sulphur and its cognates, as Ars.,
Bell., Nux-v., etc. -
Locality of the pain: The locality of the pain is
important in this investigation. Different drugs
affect different portions of the alimentary track
painfully. Some, as Senna and Jalap., attack the
upper portion, or the small intestines chiefly;
others, as Aloes, Nux—v., Caps., Merc., the larger;
while still others, as Ars., Colch., Verat., etc.,
affect the whole track. A careful attention to
the pathogenesis of the drugs will enable the
student to ascertain the peculiar local action of
each, and to avail himself of this knowledge in
his attempts at specific cures of diarrhoeas. This
study he cannot omit, if he is ambitious of the
best success in his practice. Whether the reme-
4 IXIAR. R.HOEA AN ID DYSENTERY. ,
dies named above or either of their cognates are
to be selected in a given case, is to be decided after
having reference to the above peculiarities of the
pain, by consideration of the remaining elements
of the analysis. And of these, the next to be con-
sidered is the character of the expelled contents
of the intestines. They may be feculent, mucous,
serows, or purulent. .
Character of stools.
Feculent diarrhoeas we have Aloes, Podo., and
Rheum. -
Aloes has both yellow and brown color.
Podo. yellow and dark green. The diarrhoeas
of this remedy are often accompanied by prolap-
sus ani, especially in children, and for this com-
plication it is one of our best remedies. Rheum-
Feces mixed with green slime.
Mucous diarrhoeas may be brown, green, red,
white, or yellow.
Brown: For these we have Ars. and Nux-v., the
Ars. being characterized by a mixture of mucus
and feces; that of Nux-v. is brown, offensive, and
slimy. - -
Green mucus has Ars., Am-m., Canth., Castor.,
Laur., Mag-c., Merc., Nux-V., Puls., Rheum, and
Tabac. g *t
. The practitioner will use great caution in pre-
scribing for this class of diarrhoeas, in his search
into the constitutional and related symptoms of
his cases, if he would avoid disappointment and
doing his work twice or thrice over. This is es-
pecially to be observed in the case of the two
remedies in the class more frequently prescribed
than any others, viz.: Ars. and Merc. The habit
of hasty, and therefore careless, prescribing, so
easily contracted and so common, may be a suffl-

IDIARRFIOEA AND DYSENTERY. 5
eient apology for saying that cases requiring
either of these drugs will certainly disclose other
and characteristic symptoms of the one to be
selected if the examination be diligent, careful,
and intelligent. This is not only true of Ars. and
Merc., but of each of the other members of the
class, and the observation may be extended to
every other symptom of every other class of this
disease. No case is made up of one symptom,
however marked or important, and it is not un-
frequent that the controlling characteristic Of a
case—that element more decisive than any other
of the selection of the curative drug—is just that
which carelessness and haste are very likely to
Overlook. These Observations are made in Con-
nection with the two named remedies, because
failure with them, in this class of diarrhoeas, is
too Common. &
Red : Diarrhoeas of red mucus are related to
Merc., Rhus, Sil., Sulph. The distinction of these
four remedies in their application to red mucows
diarrhoeas is not difficult. Merc. has plain red
mucus, with the characteristic pain and tenesmus
of Mercurial diarrhoeas; Rhus has a mixture of
blood and slime, with red and yellow mucus, and
all rather thin; Sil. has red mucus with the stool of
which it may or may not constitute the major
part; Sulph. has red mucus with fever, loss of ap-
petite, and cutting pains in the bowels.
White mucous diarrhoea has Cham., Dulc.,
Phos., Podo., Puls. - -
After a proper consideration of the general
symptoms, if there be doubt as to which of these
medicines is required for a given case, it may
help to remember that the affection requiring
Cham. is painful; and is more frequent in the
affections of childhood than of adult life. That
6 DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.
for Dulc. is attended with prostration of strength;
with Puls, the mucus is acrid; with Podo. the di-
arrhoea occurs for the most part mornings or
forenoons, the pains in the abdomen and back
are worse during" the evacuation and continue
after. The discharges are excited by eating, and
drinking with Puis, the pain is before the dvac-
uation, is likely to be attended with much rumb-
ling of the bowels, and the peculiar disposition
of mind so characteristic of this drug.
Yellow mucus has Dulc., Podo., Rhus, Sul-ac.
Dulc. is especially indicated where the color of
the slimy stools frequently alternates between
green, white, and yellow, and the desire to evacu-
ate is attended with nausea, or where the attack
is the result of chill. Podo. is called for when the
yellow color is dark and the evacuation has the
odor of carrion; with Rhus the stool is mized
sometimes with blood or red slime, or consists of
bilious-looking matter, and all very thin. In Sul-
ac. the stools are like chopped mucus, saffron yel-
low and stringy. The above examples of the first
step in the analysis of the evacuations in diar-
rhoea are given not as instances of the completed
process in this first step, but only as illustrative
of the mode of procedure in relation to the two
elements of nature and color. It is not enough
that the discharge be mucus, nor that it be also
green or yellow, to decide the choice of the cura-
tive. We must know more, even all the pecu-
liarities of the evacuations, and much more than
this, as will be seen as we advance. ‘. ..
Watery diarrhoeas, which are found to be black,
green, gray, yellow; and nearly allied to these are
the brown fluid and black fluid. ‘. ". . .
Black watery diarrhoeas have Ars, and Chin.
At this point these remedies are in close resem-
DIARR.HOEA AND DYSENTERY. 7
blance; so near that from the black water alone,
no man can tell whether the one or the other is
required. But a careful consideration of the other
elements will render the selection easy. As a
general truth, the prominent effects produced by
Ars. are characterized by violence, and, among
them, this is eminent in its effects on the alimen-
tary canal. Now, the difference between these
members of this class of diarrhoeas which decides
the choice of the remedy between Ars, and Chin.
is in the violence of the symptoms to be con-
sidered. The pain, burning, restlessness, prostra-
tion, cold sweating, etc., are all greater in cases
requiring Ars. ,
Black fluid diarrhoeas have Stann. and Ars.;
the latter burns like fire.
Brown fluid have Arn., Asaf., Graphs, Mag-c.,
Nux-v., Psor., Squil. The discharge which in
this class is peculiar to Arn, resembles yeast or
lees of beer. In-Asaf. the evacuation is eactremely
and nauseatingly offensive. In Graph. it is in
part made up of half digested substances, and of
insupportable fetor. Mag-c. has a liver-brown
colored discharge, with tenesmus, followed by
burning in the anus. It is characteristic of this
and all the varieties of diarrhoea produced by
Nux-v. that the evacuations are small in quantity,
they are more frequent in the morning and after
eating, and are for the most part accompanied by
tenesmus and pain in the back of a drawing char-
acter. In this variety there is also smarting and
burning in the anus. In Psor. it is dark brown,
very thin, and offensive. In Squil. it is dark
brown or even blaek, slimy, very offensive, and
ejected in frothy bubbles, with flatulence, and some-
times with ascarides and whitish shreds. -
Green watery diarrhoeas are met by Cham,
8 DIARREICEA AND DYSENTERY.
Grat., Mag-c., and Sul-ac. It may not be out of
place to remark here, in relation to this class of
the affections under consideration, that it is per-
haps more frequently misunderstood, and, there-
fore, more frequently wrongly treated than any
other. Much of the disappointment necessarily
consequent on such a course may be avoided by
remembering, in the first place, the too often
overlooked, but vastly important, necessity of
making the first prescription a right one; and in
the second, that Ars. does not cure this variety of
diarrhoeas. If there be any exception to this,
they are cases where the remedy accomplishes
the result by virtue of its characteristic relation-
ship to the constitutional symptoms of the case.
Of this we may have more to say hereafter. It
has not been an unfrequent experience of the
wrfter to see cases of this variety of diarrhoea, in
consultation, and among them, the most intract-
able to treatment, have been those which had
Ars. as their first medicament. That this has
often proved a serious embarrassment to the sub-
sequent successful management of these cases he
has no doubt. The frequency of this false pre-
Scription is, perhaps, explained by the force of
habit. Ars, cures so many forms of diarrhoea
that the frequent demand for its use creates a
kind of habit of prescribing it. Against this we
protest. -
The cases for Cham. are for the most part those
of early childhood, during the process of teeth-
ing, and from taking cold. The green, watery
passages are often mixed with feces and mucus.
The green and frothy evacuations of Grat. may be
watery or thin fluid or slimy. It is a remedy
worthy of more attention, in diarrhoeas, than it
has generally received, especially with those of
D1ARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY. 9
children, in the summer season. Those of Mag-c.
are preceded by pinching pains in the bowels, es-
pecially in the right side, with distended abdo-
men, and mostly in the forenoon, and may be
both sour smelling and frothy. Sul-ac. is fre-
quently the right remedy in this variety of diar-
rhoea. In the absence of the characteristic signs
of the other medicines, it may be given in prefer-
ence, and especially if there be great prostration
of strength with irascibility of temper.
Yellow watery diarrhoeas are met by Ars., Chin.,
Grat., Hyos. They may be found in the patho-
genesis of a few other drugs, but the four above
named are the principal remedies, and rightly
used will succeed with most of these cases. Here,
as in the brown variety, Ars. and Chin. are near
together. Both have attacks more frequent at
night and after eating and drinking, with great
prostration. But Ars. has tenesmus, Chin. has
not. Ars. has thirst with diarrhoea, Chin. has
not. Ars. has a painful constriction above the
anus, extending to the loins. With Ars. in this
variety, the discharges are small, while in many
others they are copious. But if, as is not at all un-
likely, the peculiar and distressing restlessness so
characteristic of Ars. be present in any case, there
need be no hesitation in the choice between the
two drugs. The yellow watery diarrhoea of Grat.
is painful, copious, and frequent, preceded by
rumblings and cuttings in the abdomen, and
nausea. The pain is not relieved by the evacua-
tion, but is by the escape of flatulence. Opposed
to this is Hyos., which has similar discharges,
without pain, often involuntary, and unnoticed in
the bed, and is wanting in the extreme offensive-
ness of those of Ars. and Chin. It is so like one
form of diarrhoea frequent in abdominal typhus

that the most careless can hardly overlook it as
a remedy Of prime importance in this most dan-
gerous malady. In such cases the choice will
probably be between Ars., Chin., and Hyos. In
Ars. the evacuations are small, and perhaps pain-
ful, burning, and offensive. In Chin. they are
more copious, and in the elements common to
the two, less in degree, and Chin. lacks the rest-
lessness already spoken of; while Hyos. is almost
the opposite of both in all, except that the three
have in common the yellow, watery discharge.
In this form of typhus, if the general symptoms,
and especially those of the intelligence. delirium,
etc., are like those of Hyos., this remedy should
certainly be given, and not soon changed for any
other, but for the strongest reasons. To the above
may be added Thuja as worthy of attention in
these diarrhoeas, especially when copious, with
gurgling, like that when a full vessel discharges
its contents from the bunghole, great prostration,
short and difficult breathing, anxiety, intermit-
tent pulse, pressing pain in the back, opposite
the epigastrium, and rapid emaciation.

Purulent stools: Purulent diarrhoeas are met
by Ars., Bell., Calc., Canth., Chin., Cocc., Kali,

in this class, are Ars., Canth., Lach., Lyc., Merc.,

and trembling before, and heart-burn and bitter
eructations after the stool. The pains, especially
those in the back, and tenesmus are continued
after the stool. Sulph. has mixed blood, mucus
and pus, and the blood is likely to be in streaks.
The above brief analysis of the nature and color
of the evacuations in these different examples of
diarrhoea is given only as an illustration of the
method of proceeding in the first step of an at-
tempt at making a specific prescription.
Odor: This may be either simply offensive, or
it may be characterized by a specific quality,
capable of more specific designation. Of those
diarrhoeas, which are simply offensive, some are
more and others less so. Those in which this
characteristic is most intense are met, by Ars.,
Asaf., Carbo-v., Graph., Puls., Secale, Sil. and
Sulph. Ars. is characterized as like stinking ul-
cers and as putrid. Asaf as brown and disgust-
ingly offensive. Carb-v. like putrid flesh. Graph.
is light or brown colored, half digested, thin, and
if tensely stinking. Secale has extremely offen-
sive, colliquative diarrhoeas. Sil. small, liquid,
putrid. Sulph., on the 'contrary, is copious and
putrid. All the secretions, under the action of
Sulph., are likely to become offensive in the odor.
The same is true of the carbons. The class of
diarrhoeas which are less offensive are met by
Bry., Calc., Cham., Chin., Dulc., Nitr-ac., Nux-v.,
Podo., Squil., Staph., Stram. Bry, like spoiled
cheese; Calc. and Cham. like putrid eggs, that of
12 IDIARRE ICEA AND DYSTENTERY.
Cham. being hot and excoriating. Nitr-ac., putrid,
with putrid flatulence. Nux-v., putrid. Podo.,
putrid, dark, yellow slime. Squil., brown slime
expelled in bubbles. :
Acid smelling have Calc., Cham., Graph., Mag-
c., Merc, Rheum, Sep., Sulph. Of these, Calc.
and Cham. belong especially to the diarrhoeas of
children. That of Graph. is accompanied by
burning in the rectum. Mag-c., different varie-
ties of diarrhoea of children. Rheum has papes-
cent, acid evacuations, with shuddering, and
followed by renewed inclinations and gripings in
the bowels. Sep. acid and green, with children.
Frothy diarrhoeas have for their cure Calc.,
Canth., Coloc., Mag-c., Merc., Podo., Rhus, Sulph.,
and Sul-ac. With Calc. the evacuations are in-
voluntary. Canth., liquid, feculent. Coloc., thin,
yellow, and moldy smelling. Mag-c., green and
frothy. Merc., dark green. Opium, has fluid,
frothy evacuations, with itching burning of the
anus and tenesmus. Podo., frothy and slimy.
Rhus, thin, yellow, odorless, painless, and in-
voluntary. Sulph., nights, and with tenesmus.
Sul-ac., with burning in the rectum.
Involuntary diarrhoeas have Arn., Ars., Bell.,
Bry., Colch., Ferr., Hell., Hyos., Lach., Mur-ac.,
Nat-m, Nux-v., Phos., Ph-ac., Rhus, Secale, Staph.,
Sulph., Verat. Of these the most frequently
called for are: Ars., with this remedy the evacua-
tion is both involuntary and unnoticed. Chin., it
is thin, yellowish, and slimy. Phos., Ph-ac., it is
pappy, bright yellow, and is passed with a sensa-
tion as if wind were about to escape (Aloes).
Verat has also this last peculiarity of unnoticed
evacuation with the escape of wind. Of the other
remedies named above, Arn. has involuntary
evacuations at night in sleep. Bell, and Hyos.
IDIARRHOEA AND DYSENTFRY. 13
both have this variety, as if from paralysis of the
sphincter ani. Colch. has watery diarrhoea, the
evacuations of which escape without sensation to
the patient. Laur. has unnoticed and involun-
tary evacuations, and in this symptom is very
like Bell. and Hyos. It has actual paralysis of
the sphincter. Rhus has sudden, thin, yellow,
frothy, odorless, and painless, involuntary as
from paralysis of the sphincter. Staph. has thin,
unnoticed discharges, with sensation as if gas
were to escape. Sulph., the stool escapes sud-
denly and without control; the patient has hardly
time to leave the bed, mornings. -
Undigested food, passed with alvine evacua-
tions, is found for the most part in cases which
come within our definition of diarrhoea, and
which are related to Ars., Bry., Chin.., Ferr.,
Merc., Olean., Phos., Ph-ac., and Podo., and in a
less degree to some others. . There are cases in
which undigested substances are evacuated and
which may be subjects for medical interference
which do not come within this scope. With
these we are not at present concerned. But in
cases which do, how are we to decide which is the
right curative? By a reference to the Materia
Medica the mention of this symptom is found to
be so nearly in the same words, in the record of
many of the above medicines, that if this alone
be depended on, there can hardly fail to be not a
little embarrassment and frequent disappoint-
ment. Take three of the principal of them, i. e.,
those more frequently prescribed and successful
than many others, viz.: Ars., Chin., and Ferr.,
the one word undigested is all, with the first and
third, while with Chin. it is added especially at
night and immediately after eating. Under Bry,
Merc., Phos., Ph-ac., and Podo., the phraseology
14 DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.
is the same as with Ars., and there is no addi-
tional help from the mention of any circum-
stance or condition which in any respect, char-
acterizes the Symptom as manifested by either Of
these drugs. In the record of Olean. it is said that
the food eaten the evening before is passed undi-
gested while it seemed as though wind only was
about to escape. If its administration be limited
to cases thus characterized, its use can hardly be
frequent.
How then are we to proceed 2 By a careful con-
sideration of the other elements of the case, giv-
ing special attention to those which are general
or constitutional, i. e., the symptoms outside of
the elements of the diarrhoea.
Acrid diarrhoeas, those in which the evacua-
tions irritate the external parts with which they
are brought in contact, are a class too important
to be passed without notice. They are related to
many drugs in the action of which this quality
of the evacuations is evinced in different degrees.
The most acrid are from Ars., Chin., Ign., Merc.,
and Puls. The next in severity are Ant-cr.,
Cham., Dulc., Ferr., Graph., Kali, Nux-v., Phos.,
Staph., Sulph., and Verat. And in still less severe
are Acon., Alum., Nat-m., and Sabina. This dif-
ference in the intenseness of a symptom is often
of great importance and never to be overlooked.
With some drugs intenseness seems to character-
ize most of their actions on the organism, and
this goes far at times in individualizing those
drugs. Ars. is an eminent instance of this; and
no one need fail to distinguish between the
painful rawness of the surface around the anus,
eharacteristic of the drug, and the slighter and
comparatively insignificant irritation of Acon.
Rightly to appreciate this quality of symptoms,

DIARREIOEA AND DYSENTERY. 15
and always to give it its just place in a prescrip-
tion, is an accomplishment of the master, and
with him it is an element of great power. It can
be cultivated by all, and be carried to a degree
the tyro is not likely at first to suspect.
There are, however, other differences in con-
nection with this symptom, expressed in the
pathogenesis of some of the above drugs, which
are so far our guides, though often we may be left
to the significance of general or other special
elements of the case. Thus, Ars. has black, burn-
ing, excoriating evacuations, with restlessness.
Merc., dark green, with pressure in the abdomen.
Puls., Soft evacuations in the morning.
Exciting causes: The above are the chief ele-
ments of analysis of the nature and character of,
the evacuations in the different forms of diar-
rhoea. We have next to look at the time, the
circumstances, etc., by which attacks are excited
or aggravated. [For fuller conditions, see Reper-

In prescribing for attacks from the above causes,
the applicability of those remedies here named,
without symptoms, is determined by their gene-
ral characteristics Or by the special analysis and
ascertained resemblance of their symptom to
those of the individual case. The same principle
governs in treating the cases of
Infants: For which Cham., Jalap., Rheum,
Senna, and Sul-ac. are more frequently required
than other remedies, although it may be re-
marked of Jalap., that its passages are watery,
and accompanied with intense cuttings in the
bowels; of Rheum, there are mixed feces and
slime; of Senna, dark-colored water, with cutting
pains also, but less severe than those of Jalap.,
and more or less flatulent. And also in those of
infants while * -
Teething, for which we have Colch., Carbo.,
Cham., Graph., Merc-s., Nux-m., Podo., Sulph.
In selecting a remedy from among these, it may
help to bear in mind the resemblances and dif-
ferences of the symptoms of these medicines.
Calc. and Graph. are alike in these particulars;
both have very offensive discharges, but that of
Calc. is yellow, Graph., dark, half digested. Both
have acid discharges; that of Graph. is only soft ;
Calc., thin; Calc. has undigested, hard or thin;
Graph., half digested. It is also quite character-
istic of Graph. that the discharges are followed
by great but transient prostration. Calc. and
Cham, have much similarity of some symptoms,
but the differences of others make the distinction
between the two not difficult. Both have the
smell of bad eggs, those of Cham, with this prop-
I) IARREICEA AND DYSENTERY. 19
erty are also excoriating. With Cham. the pas-
sages are often green, with Calc, never. The diar-
rhoea of teething infants, for which Nux-m. is
appropriate, is attended by an indomitable dis-
position to sleep. The little patient sleeps all the
time. The discharges are likely to be very offen-
sive and rather copious. It is a remedy of greater
value in teething diarrhoeas than is generally
supposed. Podo., painful, with grinding of teeth.
This, of course, can only occur in cases of the last
teeth in the series. Sulph., the discharges are
slimy for the most part, brown, green, or white,
and often are marked with slight streaks of blood.
Pregnancy is often attended with obstinate and
sometimes fatal diarrhoeas. For these cases we
may find a remedy in one of the following: Am-
m., Dulc., Hyos., Lyc., Petr., Phos., Sep., Sulph.
In these cases, in addition to the careful observa-
tion of the elements of the diarrhoea, the consti-
tutional symptoms are to be most rigidly studied,
for these, not unfrequently, are decisive of the
choice of the remedy. Without a thorough
knowledge of these the prescriber must often be
quite in the dark as to his curative, and his pa-
tient, consequently, in a very unsafe condition.
These remarks are equally true of the diarrhoeas
which arise at •
Lying in : For these we have Ant-cr, Dulc.,
Hyos., Rheum. There may be cases requiring
other drugs, but these can hardly fail of being
detécted if the analysis and comparison insisted
on be faithfully carried out.
- Groups.
It may facilitate the treatment of diarrhoeas
to study them in groups. Thus Ars., Chin., and
Ferr., have the closest relationship. In these
20 DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.
Ars. Occupies one extreme and Chin. the other,
Ferr. falling between. In the element of pain,
Ars. has extreme severity. Ferr. less, and Chin.
less still. In that of copiousness, with the ex-
ception of yellow watery, in which Ars. repre-
sents the scanty, the same relation obtains. It
may be borne in mind that cases of an obstinate
character sometimes occur where those remedies
act beneficially in succession. Thus, in cases in
which Ferr. has followed Chin. with benefit, but
bas not proved sufficient for a complete cure, Ars.,
if at all appropriate, seldom fails to effect that
result. Verat. may be added to this group in the
study of watery diarrhoeas, and in the elements
of copiousness and pain takes place next to Ars.
Another most important group is represented
by Ars., Squil., Graph., and Nux-v., viz.: the dark,
fluid, offensive, and painful. In these elements
the four remedies agree. They differ, however,
in so many of their symptoms that there can be
no serious difficulty in selecting the right for a
given one, if it be borne in mind that Ars. among
these has the most copious evacuations: Nux-v.
the least, and always small. The pain of Ars. and
Squil. is in the bowels, Ars. the most severe;
those of Nux-V. and Graph. in both the bowels
and back, Nux the most severe, with this further
difference, that the pain of Nux is higher in the
loins, Graph. in the sacral region. With Nux the
pain is drawing and is relieved by the evacua-
tion; Graph., pressing and continued after. It
may not be amiss before leaving this group to
say that Nux-v. has been too much neglected in
the treatment of diarrhoeas. The frequent suc-
cessful use of the drug in constipation may have
so occupied the minds of prescribers as to limit,
in their apprehension its usefulness to cases of
DIARREIGEA AND DYSENTERY. 21
this sort. This is a great mistake or misfortune.
It is scarcely less important as a remedy for diar-
rhoea. It has been the specific in many epidem-
ics, and at Other times, through whole seasons, it
has been Oftener called for and successful than
any other drug. - *.
Ars., Gamb., Jalap., and Senna in extremely
painful diarrhoeas. The characteristics of these
remedies and their distinctions, except Gamb.,
have already been noticed, and it may be suffi-
cient for this to say that it resembles Ars. more
than either of the others, but with the evacua-
tions of Gamb. there is much disposition to tenes-
mus, while with Ars. there is less.
Arn., Lach., Merc., and Sulph. in purulent diar-
rhoeas. Arn. has bloody and purulent discharges.
Lach. has similar evacuations, with gnawing,
shooting, cutting pains, with hard swelling of the
abdomen, or with discharge of mucus and scanty
menses. Sulph., a mixture of blood, mucus, and
puS.
Nux-m., Secale, Verat, in cases, with comatose
sleep. These three remedies are each character-
ized by profound and constant sleep. The kind
of sleep is very similar in the three, very quiet
and undisturbed, but the conditions out of which
it grows are very different and not difficult of
distinction. With Nux-m., the symptom arises
from exhawstion of the brain power especially.
There is still sufficient to admit of the patient
being aroused without great difficulty, but not to
sustain a continued attention to external objects.
The patient falls asleep again immediately and
continues to sleep till roused by the attendants.
The affection is less profound than that of the
other two remedies, and generally less dangerous.
Secale is opposed to Nux-m. in this, that its coma
22 DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.
seems to rest on a general exhausted vital force,
in which that of the brain participates, or of
which its exhaustion is a part, all the organs
being similarly affected, the tendency being to a
rapid extinction of life unless the downward
progress be speedily arrested. The patient is
roused with difficulty and then immediately falls
off again, being wholly unable to give attention
to external objects for the shortest time. Verat.
is related to a condition quite different from
both, viz.: that which just precedes the effusion
Of Serum into the Cavities Of the brain or the
early stage of effusion. In such cases Verat. is
often very efficacious. If the patient be aroused
he shows that he is disturbed and complains.
Any interference is painful to him, till he passes
the point in insensibility at which he ceases to
regard the presence or acts of his attendants, and
beyond which all remedies are too likely to fail
to relieve. -
Aloe, Podo., and Rheum, as related to the class
of feculent diarrhoeas, have been already suffi-
ciently treated of, though it may be said of Aloe,
in addition, that its evacuations are often pre-
ceded by much rumbling and movement of flatus
in the bowels, flatulent distention, and colic.
Not unfrequently these rumblings and move-
ments are, after a night's sleep, first manifested
on the patient's first stepping out of bed in the
morning. Or they are especially, at evening, and
if the flatus escapes it is of the most offensive
odor.
. Dysenterie Stools. … . . .
By the term, dysenteric stools, it is meant to
refer more particularly to such cases as are char-
acterized by frequent discharges from the rectum of
DIARRFH OEA AND DYSENTERY. 23
blood and mucus, or both, with colicky pains, tenes-
mus and fever. But the following indications will
be found useful in all cases regardless of name
Of the disease. -
Aloe : If the case be related to Aloe, we shall
find, besides the generic symptoms of the disease,
some of the following: Fainting while at stool—
very characteristic of this drug; frequent stools
of bloody water, the temesmus is very violent; hum-
ger during the stool ; shooting and boring pains in
the region of the navel, increased by pressure; the
lower part of the abdomen is swollen and sensitive
to pressure; the distention and movements in the
abdomen are more in the left side and along the
track of the colon, increased after food; great re-
pugnance to free air, which, notwithstanding,
ameliorates the sufferings; cutting and pinching
pains in the rectum and loins; heaviness, weari-
ness, and numbness in the thighs. With these
symptoms there need be no hesitation as to the
choice of Aloe. Many of these symptoms are
found with no other drug so far as we know.
Arnica: If related to Arnica, there will be some
of the following: Constant sense of fullness and
satiety in the stomach, with nausea; putrid and
slimy taste in the mouth; taste and eructations
like spoiled eggs; bitter and sour eruetations;
putrid smell of the breath ; loud rumbling in the
bowels, as if empty; stools of blood and pus;
offensive flatus like bad eggs; swallowing hin-
dered by a sensation of nausea; repugnance to
animal food and broths; wishes to drink con-
stantly, but does not know what, all drinks are
alike offensive; tenesmus of the neck of the blad-
der; fruitless urgency to urinate (Merc-c.); bruised
pain in the back; painfully increased sensibility
of the whole surface of the body; perspiration
24 DIARREICEA AND DYSENTERY.
smells sour. It will be noted how different these
symptoms are from those of Aloe. There can be
no difficulty in deciding between the two in any
case. There is just as little between both these
and the next we note, which is
Arsenicum : Here we have sensation as if the
abdomen would burst before the stool; sensation of
contraction, just above the amus at the stool; burn-
ing in the rectum and trembling in all the limbs
after the stool ; heart-beating and distention of
the abdomen after the stool; tenesmus, with
burning in the rectum and anus (Caps.); great
exhaustion after each stool; stools smelling like
old foul ulcers; greenish urine; pains relieved
by external heat; bluish tongue; great restleSS-
ness and tossing about the bed; face sunken,
pale, and the features distorted; perspiration
sticky; petechial, milliary, and nettle-rash erup-
tions; cold, dry skin alternates with cold per-
spiration ; pain relieved after each evacuation.
These are quite characteristic symptoms of this
drug, and are easily distinguished from those of
almost all others. Of these are to be more espe-
clally noted the concomitants before, during, and
after the stool, the great restlessness and the ex-
haustion after the stool, as well as the character
of the perspiration. * -
Belladonna is more likely to be appropriate in
the early stage of the disease and when the in-
flammation extends to the serous tissues of the
intestines. This is shown by the presence of
symptoms which characterize that condition,
such as deep-seated soreness of the abdomen when
pressed on; hard, quick pulse; hot, dry skin,
with evident congestion of this tissue. In the
initiation of the case there may be chills, excited
by every motion (Nur-v.), or frequent alterna-
I)] ARREIOEA AND IDYSENTERY, 25
tions of chilliness and flashes of heat, both being
transient and in rather quick succession. Other
drugs have the sensibility of the abdomen to
pressure, as, for example, Hyos., Nwac-v., Puls.,
Sulph., and some others. It will be necessary,
therefore, to note that the character of the sensi-
bility with Bell. is that of excoriation, as if all
were raw within, and also the febrile symptoms,
including the pulse. If these are as we have just
given them, there is the strongest reason for the
selection of this drug. It is the more certainly
indicated if there be a constant pressing to the
anus and genitals; if the pains are more in the
left side, and are aggravated by bending the body
to that side; if there be pains of a constricting
character, relieved by bending forward; painless
inability to swallow, sensation of dryness in the
mouth while the tongue is moist; violent de-
lirium. #
Cantharis: If the case call for Cantharis with
other symptoms, there will be burning in the
anws like fire, after the stool; dryness of the lips,
and thirst during the pain; loss of epithelium
from the lips, tongue, and palate; vesicles and
apthous ulcers in the mouth and throat. There
may be also this peculiarity of the evacuations—
like scrapings from the mucous surface of the in-
testines, streaked with blood. -
Capsicum has thirst after every evacuation
and shuddering after every drinking; stool after
each drinking; taste like putrid water; tenesmus
of the bladder (Merc-c.); pains aggravated by cur-
rents of air, though warm ; coldness of the body .
without shuddering; drawing pains in the back,
which, with the tenesmus, are continued after
the stool; thin, adhesive slime, mixed with black
blood, with twisting pains about the navel. This
26 I).I.A. R. R. H CEA AND DYSENTERY.
is one of the most important remedies in dysen-
tery, and is nearly allied to Nua-v. and Merc. We
shall give the distinctions by and by.
Colchicum has cramps in the calves of the legs,
prolapsus of the anus with the evacuation, con-
striction of the oesophagus, great swelling of the
lowert part of the abdomen, frequent shudderings
down the back. It is said to be curative when
the stools are more mucus than blood, and after
Sublimate of mercury has failed in such cases.
Colocynth: If there be fruitless efforts to vomit,
Weakness, paleness, and prostration after the
stool (Ars.); burning pain along the sacral region.
The pains are cutting and squeezing and ex-
tremely severe, often accompanied by retching
and bending the body forward, and are partially
relieved by external pressure. With the severe
pain there are shudderings on the cheeks, which
seem to come from the abdomen, with relief of
the pain. The pains are such as characterize
neuralgia rather than inflammation of the in-
testines; they are relieved by Coffea, and the re-
lief is followed by immediate disposition to stool.
Cramps and cramp-like contractions of the mus-
cles of the body, cold hands, with warm feet. It
is oftener appropriate in the early than later
period of the attack. There is a senseless prac-
tice with some of giving “Colocynth for the pain.”
and other drugs for supposed alliance to other
elements of the attack, and these in alternation,
according to the fancy of the prescriber, and not
in accordance with any known law of nature.
All such proceedings are the offspring of imper-
fect intelligence, and can have no countenance
from the instructed practitioner. -

stone; distention of the lower part of the abdo-
men; hardness of the abdomen with great sensi-
bility to pressure; severe cramps in the abdomen
and upper and lower extremities; comatose sleep
after vomiting. : z.
Mercury has cuttings in the lower part of the
abdomen at night. The abdomen is externally
cold to touch. Cutting stitch in the lower part of
the abdomen, from right to left, and aggravated
by walking; fecal taste in the mouth ; putrid
taste in the throat: salt saliva : nausea with Ver-
tigo; obscured vision, and flashes of heat; offen-
sive perspiration. The pains are increased before
and during the stool, with violent tenesmus.
The pains are rather increased than diminished
after the stool, and sometimes then extend to the
back. The tenesmus as well as the pain is con-
tinued after the stool. During the stool hot sweat
on the forehead, which soon becomes cold and
sticky. Drawing pains in the lower extremities,
which impel to frequent changes of position ;
dry, cracked lips. The discharges are excoriating.
Mercurius corrosivus: Cold face and hands,
with small and feeble pulse. Lips dark red and
swollen. All the pains, but especially those of
the rectum, are aggravated by motion. Pulse
small, hard, and frequent. Coma. Cramps in
arms, hands, and fingers, legs, feet, and toes.
Faintings. Weakness and shuddering in the
limbs. The limbs as if bruised and trembling.
Great anxiety and palpitation of the heart. Wan-
dering shiverings. Šensation of coldness, pale

face, and slight nausea. Coldness of the lower
part of the abdomen. Abdomen tense, hard, and
sensitive to pressure, especially about the navel.
Obstinate sleeplessness. Dysphagia, Astringent,
metallic taste in the mouth. Great prostration.
Great prostration after the vomiting of food.
Hiccough. Frequent eructations. Painful pinch-
ings in the stomach. Spasmodic, watery vomit-
ing, without previous nausea. Severe shooting
pains in the stomach and liver, with vomiting of
bile. Drinks are immediately vomited, with great
effort, mixed with tenacious, stringy mucus. Se-
Vere pains in the rectum which continue after
the discharges. The fruitless urgency to stool
increases the pains. Pain extends from the navel
to the back. Distention of the abdomen, with
borborygmus. Evacuations very offensive. Sup-
pression of the secretion of the wrine. Retention of
urine. *. - -
Nux vomica has small, frequent evacuations,
with violent tenesmus; pressing pains in the
loins and upper part of the sacral region, with
sensation as if broken ; great heat and thirst,
with redness of the face. The importance of this
drug in the treatment of dysentery is hardly
second to that of any other. That is to say, the
proportion of cases in practice which call for this
remedy is as great, to say the least, as that which
shows relationship to any one other drug. The
resemblance of the specific symptoms by which
this and one or two other important remedies
are related to the treatment of this disease is so
great that to the beginner there is often no little
difficulty in deciding as to which the preference
is to be given in a particular case. Take, for
example, Caps., Merc.-c., and Nuz-v., and we have
a group of remedies equal to the cure of a large
DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY. 29
majority of cases as they occur in this latitude.
But it is by no means a matter of indifference
which of the group we shall give to any one case,
Or whether, indeed, we shall give either of them.
The difficulty of selection between these three is
chiefly in the great resemblance of their symp-
toms. These drugs are alike in the character of
their evacuations, the quantity of each being
small with each discharge. The discharges of
each are preceded by similar severe pains, which
are continued through the period of the evacua-
tion. In all they are attended by severe tenes-
mus. In all they recur at short intervals, with
pains extending to the back. The above are the
similarities. The following are the differences:
With Nwa-v. the pains, especially those in the
back and the tenesmus, cease with the evacuation.
Those of Caps. and Merc. are continued after. The
pains of Nua-v. in the back are pressing, as if
broken, and like a bruise. Those of Capsicum are
drawing. Those of Merc, like a bruise. With a
recollection of these facts and a careful attention
to the symptoms given of each of these remedies,
there need be no confusion in prescribing them
because of their resemblances. -
Plumbum has great violence of tenesmus; fre-
quent and almost fruitless efforts to stool; cutting
pains, with violent outcries; retraction of the
abdomen; constriction and retraction of the anus.
Prolapus ani.
Pulsatilla belongs rather to dysenteric diar-
rhoea than to true dysentery, but may be appro-
priate in cases with slimy evacuations, slight
tenesmus, and nocturnal aggravations.
Rhus tox is rarely called for in the early stage
of the disease, but is often valuable later in the
attack, especially when there are nocturnal ex-
30 DIARRFIOEA AND IDYSENTERY.
acerbations, and also in the diarrhoeas which
sometimes follow dysentery. The case is marked
for Rhus if there be constant tenesmus and urging
to stool, with nausea and the passing of but little
bloody water. It is appropriate also in the late
stage of the attack, with nocturnal aggravations.
Sulphur has spasmodic constricting pains, ex-
tending to the chest, groins, and genitals; cutting
pains while urging at stool; from pressure on the
abdomen or bending the body backward: prolap-
sus ani at stool; cutting pains in the abdomen,
lower part of the loins, and upper part of the
sacrum after midnight; pains relieved by the
application of dry heat to the abdomen; the blood
in the stool is in streaks. Sulph. is especially
appropriate in cases attended with difficult
breathing at the outset and also in those of haem-
orrhoidal subjects. It is seldom in place at the
commencement of an attack, but in the later
stages is often of great value, and even at times
indispensable, especially in cases threatening
ulceration of the mucous surface of the intestine.
When this great evil has actually occurred Sulph.
is still one of our chief reliances for a cure, and
in this state is related to Arn., Ars., Lach., and
Merc. In selecting either of these remedies in a
given case, careful attention is to be given to the
specific symptoms of the case and the drug before
the decision is made, and of these the general or
constitutional symptoms are to be regarded as of
the first importance. There are, to be sure, dif-
ferences in character of the discharges of these
drugs which are to be noted, but they are not
more important than those general and too often
overlooked symptoms which in many cases are
the only sure guides to the true remedy.
