HIS little work was prepared for my own use,
as a labor-saver, and as a receptacle for clinical
observations, and for gleanings from others and
from the periodicals.
It has been the work of odd moments, and little
remnants of time, redeemed from busy days.
Even the young physician, of a single summer's
experience, must have felt the want of such a
work, particularly when dealing with the fre-
quently occurring and obstinate diarrhoeas of in-
fants. It was the difficulty of treating these, that
first awakened the desire to possess in one little
work all that was known of our Materia Medica"
as applied to loose evacuations of the bowels.
It has not been intended to include every rem-
edy that has been known to purge, but only every
remedy of which enough is known, either of its
stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distinguish
it from any other remedy.
But some may inquire, Why should diseases of
the bowels be honored above others by a special
monograph 2
111
iv. PREFA CE.
Those who have Boenninghausen on Cough, on
Fever, and on Headache, will not ask this ques-
tion, but will desire that the work go on until we
possess such special aids in the treatment of all
affections that most tax the busy practitioner.
The present work is now printed because col-
leagues, who had seen it, desired to possess a copy
— one going so far as to copy it himself— because
Mr. Tafel, who had seen it, desired to print it,
and because the work had already repaid me for
the time and labor it cost, in the same coin, and I
was therefore happy to believe that it would be
of like use to others. The clinical test will be
found to disclose many valuable symptoms not to
be met with elsewhere, and, alas, also, doubtless,
many errors.
The carefully collated experience of ten active
years, which it contains, would indeed be better
if they were twenty or thirty, but perhaps the
Lord in his goodness will permit this to be added
also. - -
It would be a grateful task to indicate through-
out the work, the sources from which many valu-
able symptoms were drawn, but this would detract
from its practical character as a work of reference.

INTRODUCTION.
CHARACTER AND OBJECT OF THE WORK.
HIS work is intended to apply to all loose evac-
uations of the bowels, and to describe them, their
aggravations and ameliorations, with their immediate
accompaniments and general accompanying symp-
tomS.
The character of the stool is used as an adjective,
and after it the word “stool” is always to be under-
stood. The semicolon stands for it.
Under the head of aggravations and ameliorations
those influences are given which affect the stool, and
also those which act as exciting causes of the attack.
When referring to other symptoms, they will be found
indicated in parenthesis.
The concomitants of the stool have been studied
and observed with much care. - -
The general accompaniments include all the symp-
toms that occur during the attack.
Under each of the best known remedies, some
symptoms will be found italicised. These, it will be
understood, are the symptoms which have been most
- - 5
6 INTRODUCTION.
frequently observed, and which also serve to most
sharply distinguish that remedy from others. The
more of these emphasized symptoms we have under.
any one remedy, the easier the selection. The sooner
we are able by careful observation to emphasize
symptoms under all our remedies, the more we shall
perfect our art. It should be the self-appointed task
of every Homoeopathic physician, to confirm, and
define, and add to, the symptoms of all our remedies,
but more especially of those that are but little known.
Many of that class will be found in this book, some
of which have many symptoms of clear and distinc-
tive character, derived from provings, but whose rel-
ative and positive value awaits clinical determination.
If those who use this book will add the fruits of
their observations, by underlining and writing-in
symptoms, they will be gladly incorporated in a fu-
ture edition, should any be required.
The remarks, which follow nearly every remedy,
should be understood as embodying only the personal
opinions of the writer, whether confirming or con-
tradicting what may have been published by others.
It is hoped that they may sometimes aid in the sc-
lection of the remedy, but they are of wholly sub-
ordinate authority to the text.
THE SELECTION OF THE REMEDY.
All who subscribe to the law of similars, agree
that the problem in each case is to find a reme-
dy whose symptoms are most closely similar to the
INTRO DU CTION. 7
case in hand. This problem finds a somewhat dif-
ferent solution, however, in different classes of mind.
One class thinks the solution is found in a simili-
tude to the pathological state. If able to diagnose
hyperamia, hyperaesthesia, ulceration, plastic exu-
dation, atony, atrophy, hypertrophy, and so on
through the catalogue, this seems to them sufficient.
They have then only to diagnose a remedy produc-
ing a similar state. This has a great fascination for
Some excellent minds, because it seems to utilize
the splendid developments of Allopathy in this direc-
tion, and connect them directly with therapeutics.
Another, and growing class, believes that those
who stop here will never comprehend the true genius
of Homoeopathy. The demand for exactness, mi-
nuteness, and delicacy of observation in all branches
of science was never greater. The same is true of
Homoeopathic Therapeutics. Those who are ardently
following in this direction, soon discover that the
Selection of the remedy requires, so to speak, two
similars, viz., one corresponding to the general Symp-
toms, or those which bring it into relation to the
pathological state to be treated, and one correspond-
ing to the special and characteristic symptoms, or
those which bring it into relation with the individ-
ual case to be treated.
To illustrate: a patient has stools consisting of
bloody mucus, Small and frequent, with tenesmus.
We diagnose dysentery; hyperamia and inflamma-
tion of the mucous membrane of the colon, with ex-
8 • INTRODU CTION.
udation of blood, and secretion of mucus. Forty
four volunteers stand ready, armed and equipped
with a similar pathological condition. But we want
but one, and how shall we learn which one 7 We
must be more exact, and discover that our patient
has restlessness, dry heat, and much thirst. Our vol-
unteers are now reduced to three ; but still too many.
Applying our magnifying-glass again, we observe a
recent exposure to cold, dry wind, and a flushed face
becoming pale, with faintness, on rising, and now
we have the man we want.
It becomes evident, therefore, that the individual-
izing symptoms possess the greater value, and are,
indeed, indispensable to a certain selection.
It should be noticed, further, that these distin-
guishing symptoms are of all kinds and qualities,
from the most purely objective and pathological, to
the most subjective and delicate complaints which
the organism is capable of uttering. As instances
of the former may be cited, the green frothy stools
of Magn. c., the dark acid urine of Benz. ac., the
blue varices of Mur. ac., and of the latter, the ag-
gravation from hearing water run, of Hydroph.,
from sudden depressing emotions, of Gels., and the
relief, from cold food and drink, of Phos.
But whatever the character of these symptoms,
in this particular, it is to be observed that they are
hardly ever obtrusive enough to thrust themselves
upon the notice of an unobserving man, and that
they often require a patience and acuteness of ob-
INTRO D UCTION. 9
servation, hardly excelled by astronomers, microscop-
ists, and other followers of natural science.
This mode of diagnosing the remedy is also in
exact accordance with that pursued in other sciences.
The chemist would be thought hardly worthy of his
title, who should attempt to recognize arsenic by its
cruder properties of color, weight, or taste. He must
be familiar with its most delicate and characteristic
tests and reactions. He does not ignore the other
properties, yet it is only after applying the charac-
teristic tests that he will give an authoritative deci-
sion, and on these he will rely, even in cases involv-
ing weighty questions of human guilt or innocence.
But now the question arises, and it is a very im-
portant and practical one : suppose we find that the
only remedy for a given case, that corresponds to the
peculiar and individualizing symptoms, is one that
has never been known to cause the pathological state
under which our patient suffers. The answer is, that
we may safely infer that the remedy does possess
also the general and organic symptoms of the case,
and that it will remove them, together with the dis-
tinguishing indications.
Thus has our Materia Medica been enriched by at
least one fourth of the most positive and valuable
pathological symptoms which we possess. Thus, for
example, have we learned that Bry. Ars., Rhus.,
Bap., etc. have ulceration of Peyer's glands in their
pathogenesis; that Hep., Lach., and Lyc. produce
pseudo-membranous exudation; that Spong, causes
10 INTRODUCTION.
and cures plastic endo-carditis; or that (and a fact
now published for the first time and obtained purely
by observing the characteristic symptoms) Puls.,
and Sep. are known to cause and cure trachoma or
granular conjunctivitis. -
Yet some affect to sneer at this method, and only
a little time ago the author had the honor to acquire
an enviable title, because he had observed the power
of Podoph. to cure true pneumonia when selected by
Some characteristic symptoms, although it has never
been known to produce that condition.
Yet here, too, we are following closely the exam-
ple of the chemist, who from the yellow band in
the spectrum is able to assert that there is sodium
in the sun, or from the lines in the spectrum of the
Dürkheim spring-water, is able to declare that a
new metal is there. He does not hesitate to attrib-
ute form, weight, malleability, and other metallic
properties to the stranger, long before he is able to
possess himself of a little bar of Indium.
Our conclusion, then, is, that the problem of Selec-
tion is solved by seeking the remedy which possesses
the physical and diagnostic symptoms of the case,
and which corresponds also to the special, distin-
guishing, and peculiar symptoms which mark the
individual case. And, further, if a remedy is found
that possesses distinctly the latter symptoms, but
not, so far as is known, the former, we may conclude
safely that it does possess the former, and administer
it with confidence.
INTRODUCTION. 11
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REMEDY.
In the present state of our science upon this
point, each can only contribute the fruits of his
own observation.
The writer began the practice of medicine with
the preconceived idea strongly fixed in his mind, that,
while the thirtieth potency might be useful and per-
haps the best for chronic and nervous affections, the
lower and even crude preparations would prove more
satisfactory for acute affections and particularly for
diseases of the bowels. ". .
Hard experience has taught him the contrary, and
though “convinced against his will,” he is not “of
the same opinion still.”
There is indeed a somewhat prevalent opinion,
that the strength of the dose makes up for want of
due care or knowledge in selection.
This may be stated in mathematical terms as fol-
lows: if the thirtieth potency of Ars. is equal to a
complete knowledge of the drug, one-fifth of a grain
of arsenious acid is equal to complete ignorance of
it. Stated in this, its true form, we grant it.
Personally, our experience has been most satisfac-
tory with the use of the twelfth, fifteenth, thirtieth,
two-hundredth,” and often higher potencies, of our
# The two hundredth proves more useful than anything lower,
and we prefer it, but, until recently, many valuable remedies were
not to be obtained in that potency.
12 INTRODUCTION.
remedies, administered in water, and repeated every
one to six hours according to the urgency of the
symptoms, and suspended as soon as decided im-
provement appeared. If the same remedy was
needed to be resumed again, it has seemed to do
better in a higher potency, but on this point we can-
not yet speak with entire assurance.
We have not been able to perceive that age or sex
or habits, (we might add color, race, or order in nat-
ural history,) form any element in the choice of the
dose. All classes have been found to respond favor-
ably to the high potencies. As regards tempera-
ment, we cannot speak with equal positiveness, but
we have no certain testimony proving it to form an
exception.
Note. —The question of diet is foreign to this work, but
we cannot resist recording our testimony against the prev-
alent abuse, of starving infants and young children on
arrowroot and other starch. They must have bread and
beef. The latter is best assimilated in the form of an ex-
tract prepared in vacuo, by some reliable house.” Raw
beef is next to be preferred, if the other cannot be obtained.
The juice running out of a rare roast is also excellent.
Ordinary beef-tea requires too high a temperature, in its
preparation, coagulating the juices.
* That prepared by Tourtelot Bros., of Chicago, has given us the
best satisfaction of any yet tested.

getting wet : After being overheated: After expos-
ure to cold, dry wind, or a draft: After anger or
fright.
Amelioration: After eating warm soup — (pains.)
Before Stool: Cutting pains: Nausea and sweat.
During Stool: Cutting pains; Tenesmus.
After Stool: Relief, except from nausea and sweat,
which may continue.
Accompaniments: Anxiety; fear of death. Rest-

blood and mucus; of bile; of what has been drunk;
with profuse sweat and urine. Sensation of a cold
stone in the stomach. Distended abdomen sensitive
to the touch. Violent pains (cutting) in the ab-
domen. . .
Sleeplessness. General dry heat. Full, hard, very
quick pulse. Internal shuddering, with dry, hot
skin, and tendency to uncover. Sweat on the cov-
ered parts. *
ACON. is only useful in the very beginning of acute
diseases of the bowels, but is then often able to cut
short dysentery, and even cholera morbus, without
any other remedy. -
2, AETHUSA CYNAP,
Stool: Bilious, light yellow, and greenish (liquid);
Green mucows; Bloody mucous;
Aggravation: In the morning (after rising): In
children: In summer : During dentition.
Before Stool: Pinching and cutting pains in the
abdomen.
During Stool: Tenesmus, often violent.
After Stool: Unsatisfied urging to stool.
Accompaniments: Irritability, bad humor, espe-
cially afternoons and in the open air. Sensation as
though the head, and other parts, were in a vice.
Face pale or flushed, altered ; collapsed, with an ex-
pression of anguish. Constant thirst. Violent vomit-
$ng of curdled milk ; of greenish mucus; of frothy
milky-white substance.
THEIR INDICATIONS. 15
Stupor. Spasms : thumbs clenched; eyes turned
down ; pupils fiaced, dilated ; eyes staring ; foam at
the mouth; red face ; locked jaw ; pulse small, hard,
and quick. Drowsiness with chilliness. Great pros-
tration.
AETHUS. is suitable to a severe form of cholera
infantum. It will usually be hardly able to complete
the cure alone, but will need to be followed by an
antipsoric ; most frequently by PSOR., SEP., or SULPH.
3, AGARICUS,
Stool: Thin, yellow, fecal, and slimy; Watery;
Aggravation: In wet weather: (general condition.)
Before Stool: Pinching and cutting in the ab-
domen.
During Stool: The pains continue, with nausea,
fermentation in the abdomen, emission of much fla-
tus; painful drawing in of the stomach and abdo-
men; Smarting in the anus.
After Stool: Smarting in the anus.
Accompaniments: Mental excitability. Vertigo
in the morning ; in the open air; in the bright sun.
White coated tongue. Acrid, offensive smell from
the mouth, like horseradish. Passage of much fla-
tus, smelling like garlic. Sleepiness in the daytime,
after eating.
There has been but little clinical experience with
AGAR. in diarrhoea. It resembles NATR. SULPH. in its
symptoms. The absence of the morning aggrava.
tion in the former, is a marked distinction.
16 THE REMEDIES AND
4, ALOE.
Stool: Yellow fecal; Bloody, jelly-like mucous,
Yellowish, greenish, or bright yellow bilious; Gray;
Hot ; Undigested; — Involuntary; (when earpelling
flatus, or urine.) Small; (dysenteric stool.)
Aggravations: In hot, damp weather:. In the after-
noon, evening, and night: After acids (vinegar):
After chagrin: After overheating: After a cold taken
in a damp room : From motion: When walking or
Standing : After eating : When passing wrime.
Amelioration: From ale: (pains in the anus.) By
bending double and by passing flatus, (colic).
Before Stool: Urging; violent, quickly passing,
frequent, with feeling of fulness and weight in the
pelvis: Colic: Burning and prickling in the intes-
times: Pain around the mavel : Much flatus.
During Stool: Urging: Cutting and tearing in
the abdomen extorting cries: Hunger : Heat in the
Tectum and amus : Temesmus : Much flatus.
After Stool: Burning, weight, and itching in the
anus: Large and prominent haemorrhoids, tender,
hot, relieved by cold water: Cutting about the navel
sometimes continues. º
Accompaniments: Dissatisfied and angry about
himself when in pain. Lips red, and tongue dry and
red, with much thirst. Generally, good appetite.
Desire for juicy things; apples; beer. Aversion to
meat. Bitter taste. Pain in hypochondria, with
painful weakness in the legs. Heat, fulness, pres.
sure, and tenderness in the abdomen and region of
THEIR INDICATIONS. 17
the liver. Griping pains in abdomen, relieved by
bending double, with urging to stool, nothing put
flatulence being passed. Much flatulence moving
about in the abdomen. Pain in bowels after eating.
Lowd gurgling in the abdomen as of water running
out of a boltle. Distended abdomen. Flatus smells
very badly, and causes burning in the rectum. Urine
generally profuse. Chilliness when leaving the fire.
ALOES is one of our most valuable remedies for
both diarrhoea and dysentery. The symptoms are
marked and unmistakable, as given above. Con-
trary to what might be expected, the peculiar gur-
gling in the abdomen is often found with the dysen-
teric stool, when aloes is indicated. The good appetite
is most frequently met with among children. The
haemorrhoids differ from those of BROM, in the relief
from cold water.
5. ALUMINA,
Stool: Thin fecal; Earpulsion difficult;
Aggravation: After constipation: After dinner:
After lead-poisoning: During typhoid fever: In dry
weather: When walking: On alternate days : (gen-
-eral condition.)
Amelioration: After short sleep : From warm ap-
plications: (colic.) -
Before Stool : Colic.
During Stool: Colic : Tenesmus: Burning in the
rectum : Involuntary urination.
2 # B
18 THE REMEDIES AND
After Stool: Usually relief: Sometimes the colic
continues: Throbbing in the back: Soreness of anus.
Accompaniments: Seriousness. Changeable mood.
Reeling vertigo in the morning, with faintness or
nausea. Appetite for chalk, starch, clean white rags,
charcoal, cloves, acids, ground coffee, tea-grounds,
dry rice, and other unnatural and indigestible sub-
stances. Faintness at the stomach, relieved by Sat-
isfying the depraved cravings. Violent colic. Urine
can only be passed with the stool. General debility.
Chlorosis. -
ALUM. is sometimes useful in acute diarrhoea, and,
possibly, dysentery, when the difficult expulsion of
stool and urine exist. It is more frequently indicated
in chronic diarrhoea accompanying chlorosis, with the
depraved appetite and the aggravation on alternate
days. With these symptoms, a brilliant cure may be
expected, including the chlorosis, if the remedy is
not given too low, and too frequently.
6. AMIMON. MUR,
Stool: Green, thin, mucous, (slimy); Yellow fecal
and slimy;
Aggravation: In the morning: During the menses:
After meals: During the day: Walking in open air:
(nausea.) * .
Before Stool: Violent urging: Pain about the
navel.
During Stool: Tenesmus: Burning in the rectum.
After Stool: Tenesmus : Pain in abdomen, and
soreness as if bruised: Burning in rectum.
TEIEIR IN DICATIONS. 19
Accompaniments: Fretfulness. Bitter taste in
the mouth, and bitter eructations passing off after
eating something. Loss of appetite. Nausea, after
dinner and when walking in the open air. Pinching
in abdomen, hindering inspiration. Much rumbling
and emission of flatus. -
AMM. M. is useful for chronic diarrhoea occurring
during the menses, when the other symptoms cor-
respond. Many of the symptoms resemble those of
ALOES, but are milder. The green mucous stool may
render it useful in infantile diarrhoea, but experience,
in its use in this affection, is yet wanting.
7. ANTIMON. CRUD,
Stool: Watery; Often profuse; Alternating with
constipation ;
Aggravation: After acids, (vinegar, sour wine);
After overheating: After bathing : After cold water
or cold food : In aged persons: During pregnancy :
At night: Early in the morning.
Before Stool: Cutting pains, -
During Stool: Pain in the rectum : (Protrusion of
the rectum)
Accompaniments: Sentimental or distrustful mood.
Children cannot bear being touched or looked at.
Ptyalism, with saltish taste. Thirst, worse at night.
Tongue coated white. Violent vomiting: bitter; of
bile ; of slimy mucus : renewed on taking food or
drink. Desire for acids. Frequent and profuse
UITl Ilê
20 THE REIMEDIES AND
The gastric symptoms of ANTIMON. CRUD. pre-
dominate. The vomiting differs from that of ACON.,
ARS., VERAT., and other remedies, in the absence of
severe thirst, and in the white-coated tongue. From
want of attention to these distinctions, this remedy
is often overlooked when it would bring speedy re-
lief.
8. APIS MEL.
Stool: Greenish, yellowish, slimy mucous; Yel-
low watery; Yellow fecal; Clear (colorless) watery;
Bloody mucous; (mixed with fecal.)
Offensive (watery stool); Painless (slimy mucous);
Involuntary, with every motion, as though the anus
stood open (yellow fecal and slimy);
Frequent;
Aggravation: In the morning: From acids: In
the warm room : From motion.
During Stool: Urging : Griping: Tenesmus:
Bruised feeling in the intestines.
After Stool: Rawness in the anus.
Accompaniments: Inability to fix the thoughts on
any subject. Pain in the eyeballs and forehead.
Tongue dry, shining. No appetite. Little or no
thirst. Nausea. Vomiting of bile, or thin, bitter
liquid.
Tenderness of the abdomen felt when sneezing,
or upon the least pressure, Burning in the abdo-
men. Frequent and profuse urine. Strangury. La-
bored respiration. Disturbed sleep, with muttering.
Dry, hot skin.
THEIR IN DICATIONS. 21
Hands blue. Emaciation. Indescribable feeling
of weakness. Anasarca. Ascites:
APIs, deserves further clinical observation, particu-
larly in infantile diarrhoea, and cholera infantum.
Here it is one of our precious remedies, correspond-
ing to a low and dangerous condition. The absence
of thirst, existing with a dry tongue and dry, hot
skin, is sufficiently striking to prevent confounding
it with other remedies with similar stools. When
Oedema is present, it will be most frequently found
in the feet and genitals.
9. ARGENTUM NIT.
Stool: Green mucous; Dark, watery mucous;
Bloody; Bloody mucous; Brown liquid ; Frequent ;
Felid, (green mucous and brown liquid); Scanty,
(watery mucous); Painless, (bloody mucous);
Aggravation : At might; after midnight: After
eating freely of sugar: After breakfast: During

in stomach).
Amelioration : After eating, and after acid food, .
(nausea).
Before Stool : Colic.
During Stool: Colic: Urging: Emission of much
noisy flatus.
Accompaniments:-Head feels as though in a vice.
Pale, sunken face. Lips and mouth dry and viscid,
with little or no thirst. Desire for Sugar in the
evening. Teeth sensitive to cold or acid sub-

stances, with constant dull grumbling. Nausea,
with lowd eructations. Violent vomiting of glassy
tenacious mucus, capable of being drawn into threads.
Sudden stitches through the abdomen on moving.
Cannot bear pressure of clothes about the hypochon-
dria. Much flatulent colic. Uneasy sleep. Trem-
ulous weakness. Debility, felt mostly in the legs.
Chilliness.
Sudden and severe attacks of cholera infantum,
with the characteristic stools, in children who are
very fond of sugar, and who have eaten too much of
it, will find their remedy in ARGENT. NIT.
10, ARNICA, MONT.
Stools: Slimy mucous; Brown fermented, (like
yeast); Undigested; Bloody; Purulent ;
Sourish smelling ;
Frequent; Small ; Involuntary, (during sleep);
Aggravation: After mechanical injuries : From
motion: From lying on the left side: In typhoid
fever: During gastric fever.
Accompaniments: Bitter or putrid taste. Aver-
Sion to food; to meat. Desire for vinegar; for
spirits. Frequent eructations; often fetid. Womit-
ing of what has been drunk. Distention of the ab-
domen. Felid breath. Weakness, obliging one to
lie down.
ARNICA. has not a wide application in bowel affec-
tions, but the symptoms are clear, and the selection
easy. The marked gastric derangement is peculiar
and characteristic.

There is reason to fear, that, as routine is easier
than study, ARSENICUM may have accomplished more
harm than good in the hands of homoeopathic practi-
tioners. No remedy has been more frequently given
in acute affections of the bowels, while it is not the
most frequently indicated, and it is not a remedy to
be unwisely used. The symptoms which most
clearly distinguish it from other remedies with a
similar totality, are the characteristic thirst and rest-
lessness. These two must be present, as a general
rule. The mucous stools are not usually offensive ;
the watery ones are very much so, and often pain-
less.

untary urination. Partial or general spasms, with
wnconsciousness, renewed by contact or bright light.

BELLADoNNA will be found suitable for children
more frequently than adults. It is often the only
remedy required for severe cases of infantile dysen-
tery. The drowsiness, with startings, dry heat, and
frequent drinking, may be regarded as characteristic,
if the other symptoms of the patient correspond.
14, BAPTISIA TINCT.
Stools: Consisting of pure blood. Bloody mu-
cous; Frequent ; Dark, thin fecal;
Aggravations: In hot weather: In the autumn:
During typhoid fever. *
Before Stool: Colic, more in the hypogastrium.

Accompaniments: Nausea, with thirst. Dry
tongue. Pain in the region of the liver, and par-
ticularly of the gall-bladder; worse on walking.
Fever slight, pulse soft and full. Sleeplessness;
or sleep with heavy, tiresome dreams.

Stools: Watery, white, or light-colored; Copious;
Very offensive ; Frothy bloody;

Before Stool: Chilliness.
During Stool: Urging.
Accompaniments: Urine very strong smelling;
w8wally dark. Much exhaustion. Weakness. Per-
Spiration. Cold sweat on the head.
The symptoms of BENZ. AC. are not many, but
they are genuine jewels. The offensive stools are
not like those of any other remedy. The smell is
Strong, pungent, urinous, somewhat like that of the
characteristic urine, which is also almost invariably
present.

DELLADONNA has, doubtless, been often given when
BoFAx should have been. The anxious feeling on
downward motion is the chief distinction between
them, and is peculiar to BORAX.

One or two cases of BROMINE diarrhoea, in its
characteristic totality, are as many as can be ex-
pected to fall to one physician during a lifetime.
The first one is yet to come to the writer. Should
the aggravation after oysters, however, become more
fully confirmed, it will need to be used more fre-
quently.

BRYONIA has not been one of the routine remedies
for loose discharges from the bowels, nor is it desir-
able that it should become so, or that that list should
be enlarged. It is, however, quite often indicated,
and if administered according to the above symp-
toms, will not fail to repay the careful chooser.

Stools: Bilious; Watery; Mucous;
Abundant; Frequent ; -
Aggravation: In the morning.

borygmus. -
Accompaniments: Constriction in the chest. Pal-
pitation of the heart. Constriction of the heart as
by an iron hand.
Profuse hemorrhages from all the mucous mem-
branes. -
Clinical experience with CACTUS is wholly wanting
in these affections. It may prove useful in diarrhoea
accompanying heart affections, with the characteristic
heart symptoms.

and good appetite.
Painful and difficult wrination, the wrime being
clear, and having a peculiar strong, pungent, fetid
odor.
Debility. Profuse sweat on the head when
sleeping.
In Selecting CALCAREA C., the stool is of less im-
portance than the person, and the concomitant symp-
toms. These often render it the indispensable
remedy in psoric individuals. The smell of the
urine cannot be described, but once smelled it is
never forgotten. The color will distinguish it from
that of BENZ. AC.

The appearance like scrapings of the intestines is
the most characteristic symptom of CANTHARIs, and
will frequently call for it when the more painful and
violent symptoms are not present.

Stools: Mucous ; Bloody mucows ; Tenacious
mucous; streaked with black blood. Thin, adhesive,
slimy, miaced with black blood.

Desire for coffee, with nausea after taking it.
THEIR IN DICATIONS. 35
Tenesmus of the bladder, strangury. Frequent,
unsuccessful desire to urinate.
Yawning. Sleeplessness.
CAPSICUM is one of the royal remedies for dysen-
tery; resembling CANTH. much in its symptoms, but
differing equally as much, as a comparison will show.
When the choice becomes difficult, the drinking after
stool causing shuddering, and the drawing pains in
the back after stool, will fix the decision on CAPS.,
and distinguish it also from MERC. CORR. and NUX
WOM.
25, CARBO WEG,
Stools: Thin pale mucous; Bloody mucous;
(Dark thin fecal;)
Frequent ; Involuntary; Putrid ; Cadaverous

saliva. Emission of large quantities of flatus, inod-
orous, or putrid. Skin pale, or blue and cold.
In Cholera: Collapse without stool : Cold breath.
and tongue. Voice lost.
Except in cholera, CARBO VEG. is rarely indicated
in the beginning of any acute disease of the bowels;
but in the later stages it may become the only
remedy capable of producing a favorable change.
It will not often be required in cases that have had
good homoeopathic treatment, but much more fre-
quently in those coming from allopathic hands. After
it are frequently suitable ARS., CHINA., MERC. SOL.,
Ol' PSOR.

Stools: Liquid fecal; White mucous;
Aggravations: In the evening: At night: From
cold air striking the abdomen: After eating fresh
meat.
Before Stool: Twisting abdominal pains.
After Stool: Nausea : Salt-water brash.

throat, just over the top of the sternum, as of a for-
eign body, or as of food lodged in Oesophagus, causing

causes mausea and water brash; smoked meat agrees.
Much thirst for cold drinks. Pressure in the stom-
ach. Necessity to loosen the clothing about the hy-
pochondria.
Involuntary emission of urine, at night; when
walking ; when coughing.
CAUSTICUM will be found useful chiefly in a chronic
tendency to diarrhoea, in dyspeptics and consump-
tives, which is renewed whenever taking fresh meat.

Children cry much, and are only stilled by being
carried about. Redness of the cheeks, or of one

Convulsions: Both legs moved up and down al-
ternately: Grasping with the hands: Mouth drawn
to and fro: Eyes staring: Eyes and face distorted :
Stupor: Cough with rattling in the chest: Yawning
and stretching.
Novices often fail with CHAMOMILLA. It is not
adapted to every case of diarrhoea during dentition.
The mental symptoms are of chief importance, but
the desire to be carried about is not alone decisive.
If, however, the other symptoms correspond, particu-
larly of the stool, this symptom will make the choice
more certain. CHAM. is not often indicated in cases
of long continuance, and is often unable to complete

milk, which agrees; for hot drinks, which agree.
Aversion to cheese and boiled meat. Jawndice.
The CHELIDONIUM combination of symptoms is
not very common. Clinical experience with it is
therefore meagre. The desire for hot drinks is very
peculiar, and may prove characteristic.

Sion of large quantities of flatulence, sometimes very
fetid. e
Dark urine.
Great weakness, particularly with the painless
stools. Inclination to sweat. Profuse night sweats.
CHINA has a very strong resemblance to CARBO
vKG. The character of the stool will usually serve
to distinguish them, together with the fact, that with
the former the stools are often entirely in the night,
being absent during the day, even in severe cases,
unless they occur after meals, which is also an addi-

completes the cure.

White, turbid wrime. White, jelly-like wrine.
Festless sleep; waking frequently, or frequently
changing position, waking with cries. Will not sleep
without rocking. Grinding of the teeth during sleep.
The accompanying symptoms, particularly those
italicized, will more frequently indicate CINA than the
character of the stools, and will render the choice
easy. The characteristic urine is the surest indica-
tion.

Great thirst, even burning, unquenchable. Increased
secretion of saliva, often very profuse. The saliva.
causes nausea and inclination to vomit when swal-
lowing it. Aversion to food on looking at it, and
particularly when smelling of it. The Smell of fish,
eggs, fat meats, or broth causes nausea even to faint-
mess. Violent vomiting occurring with great ease,
(with the watery stools). Womiting of yellowish
mucus, very bitter, preceded by long and violent

44 THE REMEDIES AND
Much weakness and prostration.
CoLCH. stands next to PODOPH. in painless cholera
morbus. It differs chiefly in the stools being smaller
and less gushing; in the time of aggravation, and
the presence of the nausea and vomiting.
In dysentery the jelly-like and skinny stools are
quite characteristic, particularly the latter. Other
Symptoms distinguish it from ALOE., CANTH., and
FCALI BICEI.

The characteristic pains of COLOC. remain always
its prominent indication. Whether they occur before
or after stool, or during the interval, it will remove
them, and with them, usually, the whole train of
symptoms. Sometimes in dysentery, with much
tenesmus, MERC. is needed afterward.

also become indicated by the same symptoms in
younger persons, and then, usually, women.

tigo, worse after drinking. Colic and writhing
around the umbilicus. On pressing on the umbilicus
with the hand, a painful sensation is felt all along
the intestinal canal to the termination of the rectum,
causing the latter to protrude somewhat.
The three highly characteristic symptoms of CROT.
TIG., the yellow watery stool, sudden expulsion, and
aggravation from drink and food, form a trio whose
presence will render success certain and brilliant.
This stool is not always painful. The other stools

52 TEIE REMEDIES AND
Disposition to paronychia.
DIosc. has a much narrower range than COLOC.,
but, as in the latter, the colic is the principal indica.
tion. It is easily distinguished from the colic of any
other remedy by the above symptoms. The disposi-
tion to felons may be found with the tendency to
colic. Whether met with thus or singly, DIOSC. will
usually cure whitlow if taken as soon as the prick-
ing in the finger is felt, and greatly relieve, and
hasten the termination, if taken later.
45, DULCAMARA.
Stools: Yellowish, greenish, watery; Whitish
watery; with flocculi. White mucous; Green mu-

Soaplike, Saliva. Much thirst for cold drinks. Wom-
iting of mucus; of tenacious mucus. Pinching and
cutting colic. Dry heat of the skin.
THEIR INDICATIONS. 53
DULC. is seldom required except in cases directly
traceable to taking cold, or to a change in the wea-
ther from warm to cold ; but then it becomes the in-
dispensable and all-sufficient remedy, if given at the
beginning of the attack. Later, it is of less or no
U1S62. +
46, ELATERIUM.
Stools: Frothy, watery; Dull, olive-green dis-
charges, (mucous or fecal?) Dark green mucous

weight in abdominal viscera, as though they would
fall down when walking. Abdomen feels Sore and
bruised to the touch, and when walking. Hard and
distended abdomen. Emaciation. Debility. Chlorosis.
Exhausting sweats.
FERRUM is sometimes required in cases of chronic
diarrhoea, in both adults and children, with the above
symptoms. Were it not for its excessive abuse by
the allopathists, from whom such cases mostly come,
it would be more frequently useful.
48, FIUORIC ACID,
Stools: Watery; Yellowish-brown, fecal;
Offensive ;
Aggravations: In the morning: After coffee : On
alternate days, a later hour each time.
Before Stool: Wiscid, tasteless saliva in the mouth:

lapsus ani: Pain about the navel. -
Accompaniments: Viscid saliva in the mouth at
night on waking. Diminished appetite. Desire for
highly-seasoned and piquant things. Aversion to
coffee. k
The aggravation from coffee, classing FLUOR. A.C.
with three other remedies, give it its chief interest.
THEIR IN DICATIONS. 55
It is distinguished from OXAL. A.C. by the symptoms
of the mouth and appetite, and the absence of head-
ache.
49, GELSEMINUIM.
Stools: Yellow fecal; Cream-colored fecal ; Bil-
ious;
Aggravations: From Sudden depressing emotions,
fright, grief, bad news.

the sphincter ani were spasmodically closed.
Accompaniments: Desire to be quiet, to be let
alone. Feeling of intoxication. Tongue coated yel-
lowish-white, with fetid breath. Little or no thirst.
Drowsiness. -
Many persons are seized with diarrhoea whenever
subjected to sudden depressing emotions, particularly
fear and anxiety. The anticipation of any unusual
ordeal — as appearing in public, undergoing an ex-
amination, Submitting to a surgical operation — is
sufficient to excite it. GELS. removes it, together
with the trepidation which caused it.
50, GRAPHITES.
Stools: Brown fluid; mixed with wndigested sub-
stances, and of an intolerable fetor.
Reddish or white mucous;
Sour smelling;
56 THE REMEDIES AND
Aggravations: At night: After taking cold : After
the menses.

as of rotten eggs in the morning. Sour taste after a
meal. Tongue coated. Aversion to salt things, meat,
and fish. Desire for drink to cool one's self internally,
without thirst. Fulness and hardness of the abdo-
men. Distended abdomen.
Lassitude of the whole body. Inclination to stretch,
without being able to satisfy it sufficiently.
GRAPH. occupies a subordinate position in the
treatment of diarrhoea, but the emphasized symp-
toms describe a condition sometimes met with, and
often chronic, where it proves curative.
51, GRATIOLA OFF.
Stools: Watery; Yellow, green, frothy, watery;
Brown fetid mucous;
Frequent; Gushing out with force ;
Aggravations: In the open air : After drinking
too freely of water not very cold.

for nothing but bread. Aversion to smoking. Vio-
lent thirst. Nausea, and inclination to vomit. Wom-
iting of bitter water or a yellowish substance. Cold
feeling of the stomach, as if full of water.
Cold feeling in the abdomen.
There is reason to believe that GRATIOLA will prove
particularly serviceable in cases of cholera morbus
resulting from drinking excessive quantities of water
of moderate coolness; the quantity, and not the cold-
ness, being the cause.
52, GUMMI. GUTT.
Stools: Thin yellow fecal; Watery; Yellowish
or greenish watery; mixed with mucus. Dark yel-
lowish-brown, watery; Bloody mucous or slimy ;
Dark green mucous;

men, as though an irritating substance were removed
from the intestines: Burning in the anus: Anus
sore and excoriated. .
Accompaniments: Despondency. Sadness. Volup-
twows itching of the canthi and eyelids. Diminished
appetite. There seems to be a good appetite, but a
little food satisfies it.
Aphtha ; deep ulcers in the mouth, inner side of
the lips and cheeks. Nausea and vomiting, after
taking drink or food, (with the watery, and some-
times the mucous stools). - -
Rumbling in the abdomen. Gurgling, as of a fluid
running from a bottle.
|Urine Smells like onions, scenting the room.
Much lassitude and debility
GUMM. GUTT. is one of the most important remedies
in the treatment of diarrhoea, both acute and chronic,
and has also a place in the therapeutics of infantile
diarrhoea, and of dysentery. It closely resembles
ALOES. It may be distinguished, however, by the
absence of haemorrhoids, by the rapid expulsion of
stool, and by the immediate accompanying symp-
toms of the stool as italicized above. When well
selected, gamboge usually gives a prompt and per-
manent cure, without subsequent aid from other
remedies.
TEIEITF INDICATIONS. 59
53. HELLEBORUS NIGER,
Stools: White, jelly-like, mucous; Pure, tenacious,
white mucows; Watery;

appearance of the face. Ptyalism, with Soreness of
the corners of the mouth. Aphtha in the mouth.
Womiting of green or blackish substances.
HELL. N. brings help sometimes, when without it
help would be hard to find, or be sought in vain.
The stool is chiefly characteristic, and is such as
sometimes occurs in protracted and dangerous cases
of infantile diarrhoea.
54, HEPAR SULPH.
Stools: Light yellow fecal; thin or papescent; Un-
digested; Whitish, sour smelling ; Bloody mucous;
Painless ;
Aggravations: During the day : After eating:

loosen the clothing about the stomach, particularly a
few hours after a meal. Acrid feeling in the stom-
ach during digestion.
HEPAR SUL. occupies a leading position in the the-
rapeutics of chronic diarrhoea. The cases calling for
it are among the most common. They come often
from allopathic treatment, having abuse of mercury
or cinchona, and often suppression of Scabies in their
history. So many of the characteristic symptoms
are referred to the stomach, that the cases might be
classed under dyspepsia. It most resembles LYCOP.
The time of aggravation is the most constant dis-
tinction.
55, HIPPOMANE MANCINELLA.
Stools: Dark or black fecal; afterward watery;
Fetid;
Aggravations: At night: At midnight: In the
morning : After drinking water, (colic).

tery substance, on which float pieces like white, hard-
ened fat.
Tympanitis. Drowsiness.
Though published nearly fifteen years ago, this
remedy remains a stranger to most of us. The
symptoms are not at all equivocal, and it may well
be placed among our reserve forces.
56, HYDROPHOBIN.
Stools: Bloody mucous; Bloody;
Aggravations: On Seeing water, or hearing it run:
During Stool: Tenesmus.
After Stool: Tenesmus.
Accompaniments: Ill humor. Irritability. Incli-

62 THE REMEDIES AND
symptom to our repertory, in the aggravation, which,
with the other symptoms, makes it applicable in dys-
entery. Those who have scruples about using a
remedy of this character, are at liberty to cure cases
having this distinctive condition, with some other
remedy, if they can.
57. HYOSCIAMUs.
Stools: Yellow watery; Watery; Mucous;
Frequent ; Involuntary; in bed without conscious-
ness of it. Painless ; Nearly odorless;
Aggravations: During typhoid fever: During ly-
ing-in. *-
Accompaniments: Delirium. Things seem too large.
Frequent looking at the hands, because they seem

immediately return. Desire to wroover, or undress,
and remain naked.
Clean, parched, dry tongue. Much thirst. Hic-
cough.
Involuntary urination.
Sleeplessness from nervous irritation.
Subsultus tendinum. Picking at the bed-clothes.
Convulsions. Spasms.
The symptoms of the stools of HYos. are suffi-
ciently unlike those of any other remedy, to make
the choice easy, but the accompanying symptoms
make it certain.
THEIR INDICATIONS. 63
58, IPECACUANHA.
Stools: Green mucous; as green as grass. White
mucous; Bloody; Bloody mucous; Fermented;
Putrid; Frequent;

pinching about the umbilicus, as though the intes-
times were grasped with hands. Skin cool. Suffo.
cative catarrh of the chest. Spasms. Sleep with
eyes half open.
The continuous nausea is the most constant dis-
tinctive symptom of IPEC. The addition of the char-
acteristic vomiting, and the violent colic is more rare,
and renders the choice more nearly certain. This
64 THE REMEDIES AND
remedy is seldom suited to cases of long continu.
ance, and is often unable to complete the cure alone.

emptied in the abdomen, not ceasing after stool.
Cramps in the legs and feet. Coldness of the body.
General, cold, clammy, perspiration.
Those who have used JATROPHA in the treatment
of cholera, have confirmed the above symptoms, and
they are such as give it a prominent place in the treat-
ment of the first stage of that disease, before the pe-
riod of collapse. The albuminous vomiting is a very
characteristic symptom. This and the other symp-
toms are also sometimes met with in cholera morbus.
61. IOIDINE,
Stools: Watery, foamy, whitish mucous ;
Bloody, mucous; Thick, mucous; Fecal; Purulent;

Emaciation. Prostration and debility.
IoDINE is suitable only to a chronic diarrhoea of
an exhausting character. The restlessness is a con-

Stools: Blackish, watery; Brownish, frothy, wa-
tery; Bloody; Jelly-like;

spiration on the hands. Tympanitis.
Much debility and desire to lie down.
KALI BICH. proves of great service in a variety
of cases, but chiefly in dysentery, with the charac-
teristic tongue and gelatinous stools. Sometimes,
however, with those stools the tongue has nothing
peculiar. The morning aggravation will then decide
the choice. After CANTH. has removed stools like
Scrapings, jelly-like stools will sometimes appear.
Rali bich. will then complete the cure.
63, KALI CARB,
Stools: Light gray, fecal; Yellowish or brownish,

Debility, felt more when sitting than during gentle
motion.
Some persons always have diarrhoea after eating
veal. The curability of such cases with KALI NITR.
needs somewhat more confirmation, but no other
remedy has had this symptom so well confirmed as
yet.

the progress of other acute diseases, it may become
indicated by the concomitant symptoms.

The symptoms of LAUROC. remind us at once of a
most severe and fatal form of cholera infantum. The
rattling of drink as it rolls down the Oesophagus is
THEIR INIDICATIONS. 71
the most characteristic symptom, and one of evil
omen. In these cases, the other symptoms corre-
sponding, this remedy will save many otherwise
fatal cases. The same remark applies also to cholera
and cholera morbus.

tice. The symptom of the region of the liver is
found on the opposite side, under NATR. CARB.

LYCOP. is one of the noblest monuments to the
genius of Hahnemann, as well as one of the most
convincing proofs of the homoeopathic doctrines.
This innocent substance is developed by potentizing
into one of our most valuable remedies for chronic
diarrhoea, as met with in weak, chlorotic, dyspeptic,
and debilitated persons. The characteristic symp-
toms are marked, and need no comment, The symp-
toms of the stool are subordinate. The “chilliness
in the rectum,” before stool, is a singular but genuine
symptom, which further observation may prove to
be characteristic.

74 THE REMEDIES AND
Before LYC. is frequently needed some other, not
antipsoric remedy, (often NUX. VOM.)
70. MAGNESIA CARB.

Much thirst for cold water, more in the evening and
night ; also for acid drinks. Desire for fruit. Little
appetite. Flatulent distention of the abdomen, with
rumbling, and cutting and pinching colic.
Debility.
Much of the ground which should have been oc-
cupied by MAGN. CARB. has heretofore been given
to Coloc. and MERC. A better acquaintance with the
former will prevent this in future. It is a remedy
of the first order in dysentery and infantile diarrhoea.
The stools are highly characteristic. The bloody

time. Restless sleep. Sowr-smelling night-8weat, par-
ticularly on the head, cold on the forehead.
Jaundice. -
Few remedies require more careful selection than
MERC. Its symptoms, though marked and decided,
differ more from other remedies in intensity than in
quality, and it requires an observing experience to
measure this difference. It differs negatively, how-
ever, from many other similar remedies, wanting
characteristics which they possess. In psoric infants
the choice has often to be made between CALC., SIL.,
and MERC., and must be made with care, as a mistake
is not easily rectified.
72, MERCURIUS CORROS.
Stools: Bloody, slimy;
Scanty; Frequent ;
Aggravation: Day and night.
Before, during, and after Stool: Constant tenesmus
and urging to stool: Cutting colic.
Accompaniments: Tenesmus vesicae. Urine scanty,
hot, bloody, or suppressed.
THEIR INDICATIONS. 77
In the absence of any provings except poisonings,
the finer shades of MERC. CORR. are not known. One
thing is certain, however, that it is too frequently
employed in dysentery, to which it is only applicable
when occurring in great intensity and accompanied
by the characteristic urinary symptoms, as given
above.
73, MEZEREUM,
Stools: Brown, fecal; Fermented; Undigested;
Small; Frequent; Sour; Offensive;

Accompaniments: Pale, wretched look. Increase
of saliva. Tongue coated white or yellow. Bitter
taste. Much colic; cutting, pinching, drawing, re-
lieved by rising, stretching, and emission of flatus.
Exhaustion. Debility.
In cases of chronic diarrhoea, with a psoric anam-
nesis, MEZ. will sometimes prove to be the remedy
for the whole condition.

78 TEIE REMEDIES AND
74, MURIATIC ACID,
Stools: Fecal; Watery;
Involuntary ; without desire, while passing urine.

sleeplessness at night, with bland delirium, and in-
clination to slide down in the bed. Great debility.
The lower jaw hangs down.
Perspiration during the first sleep before midnight.
Pulse weak and slow, intermitting every third beat.
To delineate MUR. A.C. further, would be to give
its full indications in typhoid fever, of which the di-
arrhoea is only an accompanying symptom. It is
also highly applicable to diarrhoea with protrusion
of blue or dark-purple haemorrhoids.
75, NATRUM CARB,
Stools: Yellow, fecal; Fecal; Watery or liquid ;
Thick mucous; latter part tinged with blood. Ex-
pelled with a gush, (watery or liquid stool).

After Stool: Pain in the rectum.
Accompaniments: Ill humor. Depression of spir-
its. Much thirst. Bitter taste of food. Aversion to
milk. Gnawing and pressure in the stomach, re-
lieved by eating. Stitches in the left hypochondrium,
worse after drinking very cold water.
NATR. CARB. is rarely indicated in the treatment
of diarrhoea, but as one of the remedies having an
aggravation from milk, it may sometimes be required
in chronic cases. The stomach symptoms should also
correspond.
76, NATRUM SULPH.
Stools: Thin, yellow, fluid; (fecal?) Half liquid;
(fecal ?) * *
Not frequent ; Often painless ;
Aggravations: In the morning, (after rising).

of fulness in the abdomen. Incarceration of flatus;
at night, painful. Bruised pain in the intestines.
Stitches in the region of the liver, and sensitiveness
when walking in the open air. Constant uneasiness
in the bowels and urging to stool. Passing of large
quantities of flatus, mostly fetid.
Panaritium. Inflammation and suppuration around
the roots of the nails.
NATR. SULPH. is one of the most frequently indi-
cated remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, where
the loose morning stool is the leading symptom. The
flatulent symptoms are very characteristic, but not
necessarily present, .
The tendency to “run rounds,” or painful suppu-
rations around the finger-nails is often present, and is
a strong confirmatory indication. The morning stool
differs from that of SULPH. in occurring later and
after rising.
77. NICCOLUM.
Stools: Thin, fecal ; Yellow, mucous;
Coming out with force, (yellow mucous);
Aggravation: After taking milk : In the morning.
Before Stool: Urging: Pinching: Cutting.

After Stool: Colic : Renewed unsuccessful urging
and tenesmus.

any relish for food, but feels better after eating.
THEIR INI)ICATIONS. 81
Much thirst day and night. Nausea, with gulping
up of sour water. Distended abdomen.
Much flatulence, fetid or inodorous.
This remedy resembles several others in the ag-
gravation after milk, but differs from them all in
other symptoms. We have had no clinical experi-
ence with it as yet. -

with a strong Smell, or sourish smell, like the urine
of horses. Cold feet, (with colic).
Night-sweat. Debility.
Emaciation, especially of the upper arms and
thighs.
According to the published symptoms, NITR. A.C.
resembles ALUMINA, but those symptoms are not
confirmed by clinical observation. The appetite for
chalk, lime, and similar substances obstinately re-
fuses to yield to this remedy, and we are glad to
notice that this symptom is not found in Hahne-
mann's proving.—As one of the remedies having
green mucous stools, it should be studied in infantile
diarrhoea, particularly after abuse of mercury, or in
children of syphilitic parents.

Accompaniments: Fitful mood: Inclination to
laugh. Mouth very dry. Saliva like cotton. Dryness
of the mouth, with taste as after eating strongly
salted food. Chalky, or pappy taste. Little or no
thirst. Craving hunger, but the food eaten oppresses
the stomach. Nausea, more while riding. Colic,
worse after taking food or drink, relieved by hot, wet
cloths. Urine scanty.
Great drowsiness. Torpor. Lethargy.
Cool, dry skin. Disposition to faint.
Great languor.
In the exhausting diarrhoeas of children, accom-
panied by great sleepiness, and worse at night, NUX
MOSCH. is the remedy.

Frequent urging to urinate.
Drowsiness in the daytime and after eating.
Debility. Sinking at the stomach. Desire to sit or
lie down. Sensitiveness to open air, or to a slight
current of air.
Emaciation. Chlorosis.
NUx VOM is often of first importance in dysentery,
with the characteristic stools and immediate accom-
paniments. In slow fevers with alternating consti-
pation and diarrhoea, and in chlorosis, as well as
jaundice, it holds an important place. In the latter

affections the general symptoms, more than the
stools, decide for this remedy.
NUx must not be overlooked in the treatment of
diarrhoea because more often used for constipation.

Restless sleep, the patient waking often, and im-
agining that another person lies sick in the same bed,
or speaking of himself in the third person.
The most striking symptom of PETR. is the last
one mentioned above, and one that often indicates
this remedy in delirious states accompanying diar-
rhoea, (or other affections). If unable to complete
the cure, it will, produce a favorable change, and pre-
pare the way for some other remedy.
It is also useful in chronic diarrhoea with the ag-
gravations and other symptoms as given above.

The stools of PHOS. are hardly characteristic unless
the little grains like tallow (they resemble more
opaque frog spawn, or Sago, as we have seen them)
should prove to be so. The conditions and accom-
paniments are, however, very peculiar, and are also
constant. They will always be present in more or
less completeness when this remedy is indicated, and
will render a brilliant cure almost certain, if the rem-
edy is given in a proper dose, and is not repeated
after the improvement has fully begun.
The symptoms of PHos. are most frequently met
with in chronic cases. It is often well to give a
single dose of a high potency of NUx vom. a few

There is no remedy so surely indicated by painless
cholera morbus, as PODOPH. The stools are profuse
and gushing, each seeming to drain the patient dry,
but soon he is full again. There may also be violent
cramps. It would seem that it must prove to be the
... similar to many cases of cholera, but clinical experi-
ence in this direction is still wanting. We hope that
some of our colleagues, who have the opportunity,
will test it in this fearful scourge. In diarrhoeas of
infants it ranks also among the first to be referred
to. It most resembles CALC. C.

Emission of fetid, sulphurous flatulence. Soft stool
is discharged with difficulty. Sleepiness in the day-
time. Great debility. Profuse perspiration from the
least eacertion, and at night.
Although the dark fluid stool is very character-
istic of Psor., the very offensive odor is much more
so. This alone often indicates it in infantile diar-
rhoea, or in cholera infantum, whatever may be the
stool; and it will usually produce a favorable change
at once, and often complete the cure. Whether de-
rived from purest gold or purest filth, our gratitude
for its excellent services forbids us to inquire or care.
The 400th of Jenichen is the only preparation of it,
which we have ever tested.

of PULS., and there is scarcely a drug which occa-
Sions them as often.” – HAHNEMANN.
90, RAPHANUS SAT.
Stools: Brown or yellow-brown, fluid; Undi-
gested;
Green liquid ; mixed with mucus and blood.
Frothy, copious, and passing out with much force,

pain and exhaustion. Thick, white coating of the
tongue.
Violent thirst. Constant nausea, or nausea occur-
ring in paroxysms, with faintness and inability to lie

bile and water. Womiting is preceded by shuddering,
over the back and arms. Colic. No emission of flat-
wlence by mouth or anus for a long time. Great
weakness and languor.
Little is known clinically of RAPHANUs, but if its
published symptoms prove to be genuine, it is a drug
of no small value. Many of the symptoms are de-
cided and peculiar.
91. RHEUMI.
Stools: Mucous and fecal; Thin, brownish, fecal;
Sour-smelling; Fetid;
Aggravations: When moving about: In children:

Cutting colic, relieved by bending double, and much
worse when standing. Restless sleep, with tossing,
crying out, and twitchings of the muscles of the
face and hands.
Sour smell of the whole body.
The Sour-smelling stool has always been regarded
as the most characteristic symptom of RHEUM. It is
not one of the most frequently indicated remedies,
and still less so on account of its constant abuse
allopathically.
92. RHODODENIDRON.
Stools: Thin, brownish, fecal; Undigested;
Spurting out with force;
Aggravation: In cold, damp weather: During a
thunder-shower: After meals: After fruit:

of the disease. The craving for cold milk and the la-
borious dreams of excessive bodily exertion, as run-
ning, wading in the Snow, hurrying, and the like, are
more characteristic of this remedy than of any other.
It has been observed that RHUS TOX, and APIs M.
do not follow each other well.

ynx, often almost continuous, worse at night; when
walking; when inhaling cool air; when talking; by
pressure on the larynx or trachea ; when lying on
the left side. Much debility.
The chief application of RUMEX is to cases having
the characteristic cough, accompanying the diarrhoea.

the pains in the chest :
Before Stool: Severe cutting pains: Urging:
During Stool: Discharge of much flatulence :
Accompaniments: Loss of appetite. White coated
tongue. Desire for piquant, highly seasoned food.
Nausea, not diminished by vomiting. Womiting of
bitter water. Profuse Salivation, with the nausea and
vomiting. Craving to eat in order to quiet the nau-
sea. Frequent discharge of very offensive flatus.
Much debility.
The aggravations and the nausea are chiefly
characteristic of SANG. C.
96. SCILLA.
Stools: Dark-brown or black slimy, fluid; in
frothy bubbles.
Very offensive ; Painless;
Aggravations: In the morning, (2 to 7 A. M.): Dur.

Desire for acids. Thirst. Bread tastes bitter. Soup
and meat taste sweet. Pressure in the stomach as
from a stone. Nausea. Vomiting. Cutting colic.
Frequent discharge of very fetid flatus.
Profuse urine.
A very careful comparison will sometimes be ne-
cessary in order to distinguish SCILLA from PSORINUM.
100 TEIE REMEDIES AND
The stools are very similar, but those of Squills are
frothy, and there is an absence of the debility which
usually accompanies the stools of the other remedy.
97, SECALE CORN.
Stools: Watery and slimy ;
Profuse; Frequent ; Offensive;
Involuntary; Sudden attack.
Aggravations: In childbed : After cholera:

Aversion to heat, or to being covered.
THEIR IN DICATIONS. 101
Nothing is more characteristic of SECALE than the
aversion to being covered, or to heat. This will
often distinguish it from many other remedies that
have, otherwise, similar symptoms. The choleraic
stool is not offensive, except perhaps at first, but that
occurring in childbed is so. In cholera morbus it
most resembles COLCHICUM.
98. SEPIA.
Stools: Green mucous; Green slimy mucous;
Jelly-like ; Bloody; -
Expelled quickly; Frequent; Not profuse ;
Fetid ; Sour; Putrid;
Aggravations: After taking boiled milk : During

SEPIA fills an important place in the treatment of
infantile diarrhoea. The aggravation from boiled

Expulsion difficult; Often painless.
Aggravations: Day and might: In scrofulous chil-

Restless sleep. Emaciation.
THEIR INIDICATIONS. 103
SILIC. is one of our most powerful and deep-acting
remedies, producing radical changes in the whole
constitution, and overcoming fundamental psoric de-
rangements. This renders it often indispensable in
infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum. It most
resembles CALC. C. The characteristic perspiration
on the head differs from that of the latter remedy in
being more general over the whole head and fore-
head, and in the sour smell. The forehead is also often
cold, but becomes warm if lightly covered, which is
a very marked symptom of SILIC.
MERCURIUS should not be given before or after
SILICEA.
100, STRAMONIUM.
Stools: Black, fluid ;
Putrid ; Cadaverous;
Aggravation: During typhoid fever:
Amelioration: After profuse perspiration:
Before Stool: Writhing pain in the abdomen:
Accompaniments: Loquacious delirium, worse
from looking at shining objects ; in the dark ; when
alone. Pale face. Diminished appetite. Every
kind of food tastes like straw. Violent thirst for
large quantities of water. Womiting of mucus; of
green bile. Hard tympanitic abdomen. Suppression
of urine.
The stool of STRAM. is characteristic when the
accompanying Symptoms are present.

bent. Pinching colic. Passage of fetid flatus.
Sleepiness in the daytime, afternoon, and after sun-
set. Sleeping with eyes half open. Wakefulness.
Waking often.
Aversion to washing.
SULPHUR has a very wide range of application,
being often required for every kind of loose evacua-
tions, by virtue of its similarity, and also, when not
distinctively similar, when the appropriate remedies
fail to act, or when the improvement which they
produce constantly gives way and the patient gets
better and worse. The early morning diarrhoea is
very characteristic.
102, SULPHURIC ACID,
Stools: Chopped, Saffron-yellow mucous; Stringy;
Frothy mucous; Watery; Green watery;
Offensive, (watery stool).
Aggravations: In children: During dentition:

Aversion to the smell of coffee. Desire for fresh
fruits. Loss of appetite. Cold sweat on the fore-
head when eating, even warm food. Cold water
chills the stomach unless mixed with some alcoholic

The stools and mental symptoms of SULPH. A.C. are
very characteristic, when occurring together, and are
mostly met with in children during dentition.
103, TABACUM.
- (NICOTINE.)
Stools: Yellowish, greenish, slimy; Papescent fecal;
Cholera, without stool, vomiting or thirst.
Aggravation: At night:
During Stool: Colic: Tenesmus :
Accompaniments: Collapse, coldness, fainting,
cold perspiration, deathly nausea without vomiting,
or vomiting of water when moving. Hiccough.

Violent and painful urging to urinate, with scanty
or bloody discharge.
Palpitation of the heart. Drowsiness. Somno-
lency. Jerking up of the limbs during sleep.
Although not of frequent use in diarrhoea, TART.
EMET. will repay careful study. VERATRUM has
doubtless been given many times where the choice
should have fallen on this remedy, as the colic, desires,
and vomiting are quite similar.
105. THROMBIDIUM.
Stools: Thin, brown fecal; Mucous;
Frequent; Scanty;
Aggravations: In the morning: After eating and
drinking : -
108 "THE REMEDIES AND

Temesmus : Chills in the back :
After Stool: Temesmus : Prolapsus ani: Burning
Žn the anus ; Great debility: Weakness in the knees;
Accompaniments: Fainting on rising up. Loss
of appetite.
There has been as yet but little clinical experience
with THROMBIDIUM. It much resembles NUx VOM.,
but has marked and distinctive differences, which
must render it a serviceable addition to the materia
medica.
106, THUJA 000,
Stools: Pale-yellow watery;
Forcibly eaſpelled; Copious ; gurgling like water
from a bunghole.
Aggravations: In the morning: After breakfast :

Accompaniments: Much thirst or violent thirst
Drink falls audibly into the stomach. Desire for
cold food and drink. Rapid eachaustion, causing
oppressed and short breath ; irregular and intermit.
tent pulse. Rapid emaciation.
THEIR IN DICATIONS. 109
It will hardly be easy to make a mistake about
THUJA. No other remedy has the same combination
of symptoms. GRATIOLA resembles it more than
any other, but is easily distinguished by the aggra-
vations and accompaniments of THUJA. This rem-
edy is applicable to chronic diarrhoea, particularly
when traceable to vaccination, and should not be
forgotten in cholera morbus, or in cholera infantum.
In the latter affections it has a close resemblance to
LAUROCERASUS.
107. WERATRUM ALBUM.
Stools: Greenish watery, with flakes ; Brownish
watery; Blackish watery; Bloody; Frequent; Pro-
fuse, (watery);
Involuntary, (while passing flatus);

vomiting, cold hands, becoming hot afterward. Great
weakness after vomiting. Pressure in the pit of the

breath. Suppression of urine.
Excessive anguish, arresting the breathing. Ea:-
cessive weakness. Fainting.
Violent cramps of the extremities.
Skin cold, blue, remaining in folds when pinched.
WERATRUM is a remedy of great value, and one
very often required, but like all others it demands a
careful selection, and is not to be given in every case
of cholera morbus or of cholera. The most charac-
teristic symptoms are the same in both cases, only
more violent in the latter. The immediate accom-
paniments of the stool, with the thirst and cravings,
distinguish this remedy. It is useless to give VERAT.

Much flatulency, causing rumbling and rolling in the
bowels. Nausea.
Haemorrhoidal tumors, hot, and painfully sore,
whether sitting or lying.
If the symptoms of ZINGIBER be further confirmed
by clinical observation, it will fill an important place
in our therapia. The aggravations are peculiar,
particularly the aggravation from drinking impure
