THE eWELVE TISSUE tEMEDIES, OF DR. SCHUSSLER, RECOMMENDED FOR INVESTIGATION BY C. HERING. THIRD EDITION MUCH IMPROVED. BOERICKE & TAFEL. NEW YORK: PHILADELPHIA: No. 145 Grand Street. No. 635 Arch Street. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1875, by CONSTANTINE HERING, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Author's Mark. PRESS OF HERlING, POPE & CO., PHILADELPHIA INTRODUCTO1N. Tlwelve remedies in trituration, chemical compounds, eight of which had not been proved, are here offered, with instruction how to use them-forthwith. Is this hornomeopathy? When Hahnemann commenced to make triturations with milk-sugar, of such metals (gold, silver, tin,) as were considered absolutely insoluble in the stomach, he made a third step in his exploring way, a step of the highest importance, one which completed his doctrine. This was about the year 1800, the beginning of our age. A score of years after, his first disciple, Dr. Stapf, made similar triturations of Platina, and became the inventor of the process of precipitating metals in dustform. Stapf not only introduced this very rare, at the time but little known metal, as a curative agent of the greatest value, but he began a new era in homceopathic pharmacy. Hahnemann, in the beginning of the second score of our age, was led, by the success with the trituration of insolubles, to make triturations of chemicals considered inert, like Silicea, etc., and by this, opened to us a hitherto unknown world of powers. Finally he triturated (3) 4 Te Twelve Tissue Remedies. in the same way the most soluble, such as table salt, in daily use by the grain. All these three, the insoluble, the inert, the one in daily use, acted in the form of triturations, of the so-called millionth and billionth, on men and animals. The symptoms Hahnemann obtained from the healthy as well as from the sick, and the cures made by all homceopathicians, have been acknowledged, not only by the Hahnemannians, but also by the most furious anti-Hahnemannians. Using triturations in which the molecules have been set free, we make them to act by a large surface, as has often been said, and referred to by Grauvogl, II., p. 153, and many other places. But eight of these compounds had never been proved! Is this Homceopathy? Of course it is. The trituration and further potentization is just as essential as the proving on the healthy and the so-called law "similia similibus.".What has not been done at first may be done afterwards, and will certainly be very important in enabling us to individualize properly. WVhen Gelseminum was published in Germany, it was declared to-be a child born with a breech presentation; it was used with the sick first; the provings, i. e., the head, following. "Births by breech presentations are always better than "none at all. They say there are only four out of a "hundred, and the renowned'aid of nature' is success"ful if the head does not remain in too long, and the "legs are not tugged at by a bungler. We were right "with the Secale, in spite of the want of provings and " the careless jumbling together of the symptoms from " the old epidemics, and we shall know the Gelseminum Introduction. 5 " very much sooner, because it has been proved; but the "experiments with the sick, and the outcry about them, "have tumbled the provings heels over head." 1862, A. H. Z., 64, p. 155. And these eight chemicals, though not proved, are not only brought into the molecular state, but are also given according to the results homeopathy has already obtained. They are supposed to be constituents of our body, and are given as being nutritive to some tissues, and thus acting on the functions of said tissues. We have thus a fruit of homceopathy, substituting the provings, pro tem. The full proving will take years, but of course must be done, and will be clone. It was here in Philadelphia, in 1834, that a wealthy old man broke his "thigh-bone," and as it had not healed, it was to be operated on some weeks later, by surgeons of high standing. No phosphate of lime being on hand, a strong dilution of pyro-phosphoric acid was added by drops to the lime-water of the shops. The gelatinous deposit, formed by two or three acid combinations of the two, was pressed out in filtering paper, and about one grain, in five doses, handed to the sufferer, with the advice to put off the operation. Several weeks later he came in his buggy to see the doctor. The callus was felt by the surgeons about ten days after the powders were given. The callus contained certainly fifty or sixty times more phosphate of lime than had been taken. The man having not even allowed the two ends of the bone to be rubbed together by the surgeons, there was no doubt in the conclusion that the phosphate of lime given him as a nutritive remedy, had acted as a func 6 The Twelve.Tissue Remedies. tional one. Doctors Gideon Humphreys, and S. Green, coming at the same time for instruction in homceopathy, were recommended to make provings, and as they knew of this cure, were requested to prove the rest of the preparation, which they did. To give them a right idea of our law, it was said to them, that as they would not break their bones in pursuance of their provings, so they should never look for diseases to be produced by any drug. Belladonna never caused scarlatina; there are no diseases produced, only similar symptoms. Soon afterwards the basic phosphate of lime, prepared from bones, by a skillful chemist, was proved, it was of great use, not only in such cases, but also in open fontanelles of children, hydrocephalus, and tedious dentition, particularly in the important period of second dentition. An extract of the provings was printed in the New York N. A. J. of Hornm., Vol. xx., 1872, p. 232 to 253. In 1832 it had been written: "All the essential component parts of the human body are great remedies." Stapf's Archives, xiii., 2, p. 34. In 1846, as the result of numerous careful provings during twenty-two years, there was published the following in Stapf's Archives, xxii., No. 3, p. 166-7. " All constituents of the human body act on such orga'ns principally where they have a function." " All fulfil their functions when they are the cause of symptoms." Nobody took any notice of it except Grauvogl in his Text-book;,and now it is made the basis of a " new system." HISTORY. IN the Homoeopathic Gazette, published in Leipzig, Vol. 86, No. 12, March, 1873, translated hred. Investigator, Vol. 1.0, No. 5, p. 113, May, 1873, we find a brief article: A shortened Homceopathic Therapeutics; by Dr. Schiissler, Oldenburg. A concise exposition of Schtissler's views will be given in the following pages. He says, that about a year ago he determined to find out by experiments on the sick, if it were possible to heal them,.provided their diseases were curable at allwith such substances as were the natural, i. e., physiological function-remedies. Dropping the obsolete idea of organ-remedies, adopting partly what Grauvogl teaches, he, like Hausmann, looks to the tissues and what nourishes them and sustains their functions. From the chemical combinations of the human body he takes out such, as have, thus far, been found in the ashes, excluding all so-called organic elements and compounds, even the carbonates. Ten elements remain combined with oxygen or hydrogen: Sulphur, Kalium, Phosphor, Natrium, Chlorine, Calcium, Fluorine, lMagnesium, Silicon, Ferrum. (7) 8 The T]welve -lissue Remedies. According to the view that elements and salts always undergo changes, if absorbed in our mouths and taken into the stomach and body, and when proved, produce a mixture of effects, he prefers, from the large number of compounds, such as these ten may form among each other: the oxide of the silicon, the oxygen acids of sulphur and phosphorus, and the hydrogen acids of Chlor. and Fluor. in combination with some of the elements of the other side. He takes according to his notions, based on Moleschott, Virchow and others, the phosphates of the four alkalis and the Ferrum, the sulphates of three of them, the muriates of two, the fluorate of one and the silicea alone. Thus, the following are his twelve chosen cure-alls: Kali phosphoricuLm, Natrum suIphuricumn, NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM, CALOAREA SULPHURICA, Calcarea, /r-~o. Kali muriaticum, Magnesia phosphorica, Natrum muriaticum, Ferruim phosphoricumn, cALCAREA FLUORICA, Kali sulphuricum, Silicea. Those in italics had been proved, and Schiissler's indications, those of Calc. phosph. excepted, are based on these provings. With those not proved, Schiissler took the way of comparing all the provings of their compounds, and jumped with great audacity at the conclusion he wanted. All this we give hereafter. Names in capitals have been proved since. Nobody seemed to have taken the slightest notice of Schiissler's apparently promising communication. Finally in the same paper, Vol. 87, No. 7, August 11th, p. 50, three months after, Dr. Lorbacher, of Leipzig, one of our best men, came out with some critical consideratioi.s. Lor History. 9 bacher objected in a truly scientific way mostly to the insufficiency of the mere sketch of the new system; above everything else, he wanted better characteristics of each new drug. He mentioned that Grauvogl and others had already spoken of nutritive and functional remedies, and continues: " It is not to be denied that the idea of curing all curable diseases with twelve remedies is a very enticing one. Therapeutics would then be easy and simple. The tedious study of Materia Medica, the accurate observation of all stages of diseases would be superfluous. Perhaps homeopathic therapeutics would in this attire fiad favor before its enemies. The opinion at present predominating in the physiological school, that all diseases can be traced to a material and mostly local foundation basis, would then be confirmed." A. H. Z., Vol. 87, No. 12. Five weeks later, we find in the same paper an answer by Schiissler, giving in this and the following six numbers all the details he had in readiness. We give all this to the readers so far as it is of practical value, leaving out all the theories about nutrition and functions of the tissues, and above all, the disputes about priorities. These may in the future be mentioned in our journals. There can be no doubt about the insufficiency of these twelve remedies to cure all and every acute or chronic disease. There are, to speak only of the elements of our body, many other salts and combinations which have such characteriistic influence that they cannot be supplanted by any other. There is no reason why the Potassa, Soda, or Calcarea, should be given in three corm Io The Twelve Tissue Remedies. pounds, the Magnesia or Ferrum only in one, the Silicea in none. We have reports before us of the most remarkable cures by Calc. silic., and in diphtheria with Cale. mur. The insufficiency of Schiissler's system will be made manifest as soon as the spectral analysis is made use of by physiologists, to find out what elements are contained in our body even in millionths and billionths of grains. Besides this, neither all the tissues, nor all the functions of our tissues, still less the morbid alterations of them are mentioned by him. In his list of cures, scarcely one half of the diseases of men are mentioned. It is remarkable that from his chosen twelve, two of the principal constituents of our body are excluded, i. e., nitrogen and carbon, the two predominating elements in all excrementitial matter, especially in diseased states. We should with thanks to Dr. Schiissler, acknowledge his open and candid communication. His bold attempts to shorten therapeutics may be of great use in many cases. Certainly not one of our experienced practitioners will drop his old and well-known friends to run away with a coquettish girl. But as all of us meet with hard, and apparently incurable cases, where we do not succeed, it may be allowable in such cases to go by Schiissler's indications. In this way we will increase these and also get new symptoms. Provers will also be found, and instead of reducing our Materia Medica, our treasures will be increased, and new polychrests be added. The more trustworthy our characteristics, the shorter will be our labor and the greater our success. HOW WERE THE TWEL VE REMEDIES FOUND AS THE NUTRITION OR FUNCTIONREMEDIES? They are all known as belonging to the so-called inorganic elements of our body, and this knowledge is gained from the analysis of the ashes. But very little is known about their combinations and their whereabouts and functions. There are five of an alkaline character, or the so-called positive elements of Berzelius, and five of his negative elements; these may undergo many more combinations, as Schiissler has chosen. Compounds with so-called organic acids he excluded altogether; from all the inorganic he selected one dozen; having chosen them in feeling his way, between, on one side the physiology of our day, on the other side our provings. The Hahnemannian provings of Magnes. carb., Magnes. sulph., and Magnes. mur., Schilssler compared, and the conclusion-that the fundamental characters were the same in all three-was drawn. It is presumed by him that the carbonate, as well as the sulphate and muriate, only acts by uniting in the body with phosphoric acid. It is presumed by Schiissler that the Magn. phosph. (11) 12 Th/e Twelve Tissue Remedies. "acts quicker and is more secure, we not knowing if the conditions of said changes of the acid after reaching the stomach or the blood, are present in the sick or not." Here ought not to be forgotten, that we do not know if such changes really have to take place. We do not know the greater or less affinity of the Magnesia to the different acids after these other compounds are inserted. Schiissler considered it the medicine for the nerves, notwithstanding that it has been found only in the bones, once in white hair, and often in concrements or bezoars, thus drawing his conclusion from the symptoms the different salts have produced in our provings. Fe runm phosphoricum. As Ferrum has prodluced in Hahneemann's and other provings, that hyperemia which is due to relaxation of the muscular fibres of the vessels, and as Ferrum in large doses causes Virchow's irritation-hypermemia, a small dose will bring the relaxed state from other causes, back to its normal condition. The provings of Ferrum are compared, and the Phosphate of iron preferred, for the same reasons as the Magnesia phos., and adopted as the remedy for all inflammations. These very peculiar assertions of Schfissler are no doubt based on Grauvogl's remarks, that Argent. nitricumn is changed in the body to chlor-silver (Argent. mur.) Text-book II. 165, 320. All the magnesia salts change, according to Schiissler, into the phosphate'; all iron preparations to phosphate of iron. Kali sutlphuricum. The provings of Sulphur and Kali carb. were compared, and what was common in both considering as indicating symptoms of the not proved Howew Dziscovered. 1 3 Kali sulph., concluding that it would act'on epidermal eruptions, and on the epithelion in catarrhs with a yellow, sticky secretion, etc. cKali phosphoricumn. The provings of Phosphorus and Kali carb. compared, have given the indications for the not proved Kali phosph. Schiissler's main conclusion is that it acts repeated in large doses, depressingly on the nerves, and decomposes the blood corpuscles; thus it would be hornceopathically indicated in so-called nervous weakness and in other corresponding morbid diseases; and in all septic diseases with decomposition of blood. Sulphur, he says, is absorbed and combines either with oxygen or with hydrogen, and Hahnemann's list of symptoms is a mixture of both. The sulphuric acid comes here particularly into consideration; this acid, he says, drives out the carbonic acid; it combines in statu nascente with Calcarea, Natrum, or Kali. Thus the collection of symptoms which Hahnemann gives of Sulphur and Sulph. ac., Schiissler asserts to be a mixture from symptoms of Sulphur, of Kali sulph., Natrulm sulph., and Calcarea sulph., and even of sulphuretted hydrogen. Schissler affirms that if we make use of the symptoms of Kali carb., we have to regard that the Kali will unite with Chlorinum, Sulphuric acid, or Phosphoric acid. The consequence is, a mixture of all the Kali compounds. "Hahnemann's catalogue of symptoms contains all the three'" Thus to find out the symptoms of Kali sulph., Schfissler had to compare one mixture of symptoms with another mixture. What was presumed to be the case with sulphur, of 14 The Twelve Tissue Remedies. course applies also to the phosphorus, the more so as the latter in the triturations already partly combines with oxygen. It seems a contradiction to suppose that all the magnesia salts should become phosphates in the body, but the phosphorus itself should have so different a fate. In another place Schfissler says: "I cannot prove it, but you cannot prove to the contrary." That of course avoids the question although it does not answer it. Calcacrea sulphurica. " We may," says Schiissler, "choose the tedious (!) way of comparing the catalogues of symptoms of Sulphur and the Calcarea carb., or the shorter way of taking the indications of Hepar sulph." He is for shortening, and quotes what practitioners say about Hepar sulph., saying: "My indications agree with it." The plaster of paris or gypsum is a different compound of Sulphur and Calcarea, but as it is contained in our Hepar sulph. calc., (above -); and the Calcarea sulph. is given by Schiissler in a. higher trituration than other of his remedies, we may suppose the effects to be similar. Calcarea phosphorica. Schfissler calls it the formative irritant of the tissues of the blood-cells, tissues of the bones, etc., and he rests on this notion of the so-called physiological school. As he evidently knows nothing of our provings except the little beginning Jahr had translated from the Allentown Correspondernz Blatt, he has no idea of its effect on the healthy. Schiissler says, if the provings of Calcarea phosph. on the healthy were continued, hardly any symptoms would appear to show its homceopathicity a priori in such diseases as he mentions to have been cured with Calcarea phosph. How Discovered. 15 We have here in America continued the provings, and are very glad to know, not only that the drug corresponds to the mentioned diseases, but, also, that these provings indicate the cases where it helps, with much more accuracy than we could gain from the general conclusions of the physiologists, or of Schfissler. Natrum muriaticum. The provings of the Vienna Journal, confirming nearly every symptom Hahnemnann had given in the Chronic diseases, led Schiissler to his conclusions and recommendations. Natrumn sulphuricurn. Trousseau and Pidaux, with their superficial remarks, are quoted, and conclusions drawn. Grauvogl who has made it a polychrest by his ingenious remarks and observations, is not mentioned. But a cure, published by C. Hg. in Midller's Quarterly, to corroborate the provings of Nenning, is mentioned in order to note that C. Hg. had not reported how much the tongue was furred, and how the taste had been. The tongue was furred but very little, and the taste was not changed at all. This proves that a cure can be made even when the leading symptoms of Schfissler are not predominant. IAatrum phosphoricum is introduced by quoting what it had cured, and saying that the whole Materia Medica contains no symptoms to give us the right to conclude with certainty that a single one of the proved drugs could produce a leukocytose. We see by this that Dr. Schiissler has only one foot in our Materia Medica. It shows how Roth's Razzia has made an impression even on such men as Schiissler. I-e ought to know that no medicine necessarily causes i6 The Twelve Tissue Relme(fies. any one of all the "diseases." But a surplus of white blood corpucles is no doubt caused by a very large number of our proved medicines. The provings already made by Dr. Farrington will settle this question in our way. CKali muriaticum. All indications have been discovered, Schiissler says, in an empirical way. The Arrowackian Indians in South America, when prevented from going to the sea-shore to make the kitchen salt they want, burn the wood of some palm trees, Corypha Pumos or tectorum, etc., and use the ashes, which contains Kali mur. and use it in the place of Natrum mur. They find out empirically that they do not feel well, and get a longing for sea salt. This had induced its proving in 1830. See Stapf's Archives xiii. 2, p. 34; but the collections were lost.* Silicea. Schfissler does not mention the Silicea in his defense; this element being next to oxygen, the predominating element on our globe, and so far as its crust has been analyzed, is the real " everywhere." We find it very much in the minority in the vegetable kingdom, notwithstanding it is the form-sustaining, shape-giving element; while in the animal kingdom it is found in such small quantity that this, especially, may have induced Hahnemann to suppose its functions to be the more important. By provings, exclusively of the higher, by observations mostly on the sick, (exactly as with Graphites) Hahne* Under the direction of Professor Genth a Mr. Frische made a very accurate analysis of the ashes I had given him, which was published in the American Journal of Pharmacy, 1860, p. 213. The name was "doubtful" to the author, but Corypha in a Linnean Genus, Pumos, a species named by Humboldt. How Discovered. 7 mann discovered the main indications which have since been corroborated from all sides. Schfissler gives it according to the generally acknowledged inditions. The tissues containing Silicea, to which it could be a nutritive or functional remedy, are not stated at all. Berzelius expected to find Silicea in the bones; but he said that "he missed it," where later it was found by Vaucquelin and Merchaud; but only in traces. It was found in the blood by Millon, Endeler and Stolzel, and evidently depends on the food used before. Most of it is in the hair, and in dark hair up to thirteen per cent. of the ashes; in the feathers of seed-eating birds from twenty-five to fifty per cent., in fish-eaters only fifteen per cent. Calcareca fiuor. The mention of the well-known fact that it is one of the smallest constituents of the bones, where it seems designed to give the outside firmness, like in the enamel, is followed by a report of cures made by it. As to comparing the symptoms of Fluoric acid with the Calcarea, Schfissler did not even think it worth while. Calcarea fluor. has been proved and given already by J. B. Bell and others; also, the very important Calcarea silic., Calcarea mur., Calcarea sulph. It is well known in chemistry that combinations of elements, if they form a compound, change their qualities, and such a union nearly always has properties which neither of the elements had before, some entirely differing from those of its elements. "Compounds have properties different from those of their constituents." Morton and Leed's Text Book. There is no way to tell beforehand what qualities the compound will have, these 2 18 The Twelve Tissue Remedies. are generally new ones. *Many comparisons have been made, even provings, to ascertain if this is the same with their effects on human life. What then was found were unexpected characteristics:-Solutions like the Glonoine in alcohol, each, when alone, increasing the number of pulsations, have the same effect in a higher degree if mixed. Sulphur and Calcarea have,. individually, relief by uncovering; combined in Hepar, desire to be covered. "To conclude with certainty a priori" seems to be a favorite phrase of Schiissler, who, as we have seen, never made a single conclusion as strict as we everyhere find them in Grauvog]. Still we are very much indebted to his communication without acknowledging it as " a system." While no doubt every practitioner will follow all the known indications of the well-proved Silicea, Natrum mur., Natrum sulph., and Calcarea phosph. we may, if the occasion permits it, find whether the few additions he has made to them, will be corroborated. Instead of the well-proven Hepar s. c. no one will give the Calcarea sulph. except it be proved, as there, necessarily, must be a very great difference. The other eight, of his twelve remedies, may be tried by every one who has corresponding cases to attend, in which the safer way was followed without success. And if all symptoms which newly appear are regarded, many trustworthy indications may be gained, this is what we require. The main rule is, such chemicals as have a function in certain tissues of our body, are in diseases of such tissues, when given as a nutritive,-of course the more they are brought in a molecular state-the better equalizers of the disturbed state of the functions. HISTORY OF 1874. Schsiisler's additional remarks in A. H. Z., February 23d, 1874, could, in the first edition, be given only in an appendix. Since this, another collection of remarks followed in A. H. Z., March 9th, v. 88, No. 11, p. 88. Soon after he published a pamphlet: "Eine abgekiirzte Therapie, gegriindet auf Histologie und CellularPathologie," Oldenburg, by Schulze, 16 pages. A few months later another pamphlet: "Spezielle Andeutung zur hoimopathischen Anwendung der physiologischen Functionsmittel," 32 pages. In A. H. Z., v. 88, No. 6, page 48, Dr. Plate from Oldenburg communicated some confirmations. All this has been inserted in the second edition at the proper places among the following indications, and in the repertory. The more concise therapeutical rules given by Schiissler have also been added. THE INDICATIONS. NOTE.-In the first edition Schtissler's order inl his first communication was followed.

Eruption itches and stings intensely, and although formerly relieved by cold water, the irritation has become relieved lately aby heat. He has also used Acetic acid, except on the face; which allayed the itching and redness. Has taken in the last year Fowler's solution of Arsenic, but without relief. The attacks are worse in the Fall and Spring, and the eruption is mostly on the face, arms and chest. Constipation is present. After using Kali sulph., (Schtissler) a few days commenced having boils and had a great many, after which the skin was' better than it had been for years; bowels also better. In another case, a great deal worse, having lasted 25 years, the scaly eruption mostly on arms, relieved by hot water, entirely disappeared, but returned a year after when the same remedy in repeated doses of the 30th finally the 200th brought relief.

Is well at this writing, September 3d. W. P. W. F. F., set. 10, small, dark, lean. Kali sulph.la, was given for whooping-cough, which immediately improved. The second day after taking the medicine, he complained of stiff neck. The head is inclined toward the left, and the left shoulder raised. Great pain on moving head from side to side or backwards, but can move it forwards without pain. This continued seven days. W. P. W. 26 The Twelve Tissue Remedies. A child, 18 months old, in the last stage of whooping-cough, with blistered lips and mouth, black, thin, offensive stools five times a day, hard and tympanitic abdomen, wasted to a shadow, and given up to die by parents and physician got completely well from Kali sul'th.l2. C. B. KNERR. Miss C. B., Aet. 25, dark. April 25th, 1874. Has suffered from effects of ivy poisoning (Rhus tox.) for eight months. Was formerly treated by external remedies, but has repeatedly broken out again with small, hard, herpetic vesicles, forming into a thin scab, with itching and some moisture. The eruption appears in the left axilla, about the neck and on the back of both hands. She has a sensation of faintness at stomach and befogged feeling in head, fearing to lose her reason. Very vivid dreams. Sulph., Rhus, and Sepia had no beneficial effect. Two doses of Kali sulph.12, taken in water morning and evening, for four days, cured the case in four weeks. W. P. W. Mr. R. R., set. 30, light complexion. About once a week a thick, dark-brown, semi-fluid accumulation of pus formed in the upper left nostril, on being blown out emitted a terrible stench. About a month previous a piece of carious bone was taken from the antrum highmori, through an upper left alveolus, from which a tooth had been drawn four years previous. The probe entered the antrumr freely. Calcarea, Silicea and several other remedies proved inefficacious. Three weeks after hav The Indications. 27 ing taken two doses of Kali sulph.6 in water, morning and evening a tablespoonful for four days, nothing more remained of the discharge, and the alveolus closed so that no probe entered. W. P.W. Mrs. C., -et 25, dark. June 25th, 1874. Thick, yellow offensive ozuena, alternating with watery discharge, has been affected with it for eighteen months. Has lost taste and smell.

When pressing gently on it, I felt but a fluid; when pressing hard, a rough, jagged, hard mass, growing on the bone. H1ow long the s-velling had existed the parents could not tell. I gave Cale. fluor.3. In a few weeks it had entirely disappeared. A young lady, whom i had formerly treated for and cured of periostitis of the humerus, consulted me one day about a swelling on the lower limb. I found a rough,ihard, bony swelling, covering the whole width of the shin-bone and several inches long. It had existed for six weeks. Cale. fluor.3 cured it in three weeks. SCHUESSLER.

Exactly what has been said in the New York Review, 1866, in Dr. Allen's translation of the preface to Cepa; see Amerikanische Arzneipriifungen, p. 426, 1856. THERA PEU TIC REMARKS. BY DR. SCHUESSLER. Twelve remedies constitute my whole Materia Medica. They are such inorganic substances as serve the animal organism for building materials and physiological function remedies. I found their indications as here given through study and experiments. All who have been accustomed to use a large number of drugs against diseases will think it very strange that here only twelve are offered. But when they consider that the number of tissues of the animal organism is a very small one,* they will not be so struck by the proposition that as few compounds should suffice as function remedies for the diseased cells of these tissues. The reason for recommending the same remedies for apparently differently diseases is that they were histopathologically alike. The beginning of a meningitis requires Ferr. phosph., as well as in a panaritium or pneumonia, because in all these three cases we have to overcome a hypervemia which depends on a dilatation of bloodvessels. Inflammations. Ferr. phosph. corresponds to the first * Only according to the old school; Hausmann has a great many more. C. IIa. (42) Thferapeutic Remarks. 43 stage, hyperwmia; Kali mur. to the second, exudation; Calc. sulph. or Kali sulph. to the third, absorption. Thus give Ferr. phosph. until the fever lessens and sweat breaks out; then Kali mur. until recovery, or until a lumpy-purulent, bloody-purulent or yellow mucous expectoration appears. Calc. sulph. corresponds to the first, Kali sulph. to the latter. If a copious serous exudation is not absorbed while using Kali mur., it will be necessary to follow with Kali sulph., especially when pains are passing from joint to joint. In case of adynamic typhoid symptoms: great prostration, delirium, dryness of skin, dry tongue, brown-coated teeth, watery stinking diarrhcea, etc., appear during the further course of the disease, Kali phosph. should be given. Inflammation of the peritoneum, pleura, meningea, pericardium. The more copious the sweat is, after giving lFerr. phosph. for the first stage, the quicker will the second remedy, Kali mur., act and finish the cure. In case of copious serous exudation after the last, Kali stiph. should be given. Acute rheumatism of the joints. In the beginning give Ferr. phosph., and in most cases this will suffice when followed by Kali mur.; if not, give Kali suiph., especially in cases where the pain goes from joint to joint. Some cases require Calc. sulph. after this. If an adynamic state follows, Kali phosph. As in all inflammatory cases-no matter which organ is the seat of it-Ferr. phosph. should be given in the first stage, and IKali mur. in the second, the medication will be right, even if the diagnosis is wrong. This will be welcomed even by unskilled diagnosticians. 44 The Twelve Tissue Remedies. NoTE.-All who undertake to (examine a case and to find the corresponding drug by the respective value of the symptoms, require no diagnosis at all, except for the dietetics and prognosis. C. HG. The tongue symptoms cannot decide the choice of the drug in all affections of all tissues; only when especially mentioned. If any one suffering fromn a chronic catarrh of the stomach, in addition is befallen by an acute sickness, the state of his tongue will not always indicate the remedy for the acute complaint. - If in a disease, particularly a chronic one, there are only undeciding symptoms, then the tongue symptoms in most cases will determine the right remedy. The most accurate individualization is indispensably necessary. See Cases in Indications for Natr. phosplh. I find the external application, in addition to the internal use, very suitable. Injections of a watery solution of Kali salph., 3d, twice a day, provided they can be made easily, greatly shorten the duration of gonorrhea. Also in diseases of the epidermis and blood-vessels (hemorrhoids, varices, etc.) likewise in proud flesh, burns, etc., the external application, (with the internal use of Ferr. phosph. as well as that of Kali mur.) is very advantageous. In burns, scalds, bruises and other external injuries it is very advisable to apply the same medicine externally at the samne time. NO)TE.-Never forget to have the wash prepared separately. C. HG. Since I expect that many colleagues will frequently use my twelve remedies, it will be very pleasing to me if they will publish their experiences. Through acquaintance with the successes and failures, the points which are still in doubt will be cleared up. TY/ertreutic Rellzarks. 45 As many forms of disease seldom or never appear in my practice, I cannot alone fill up all the existing deficiencies. NOTE.-TO this we have only to acidd: Collect and communicate all the new symptoms, especially those which appear a week or several weelks after the medicine has been used. C. HG. NOTE.-1874 and 1875: In A11g. Homn. Zeit., Nov. 23d, Vol. 89, No. 22, p. 173, a Dr. Welsch relates a case of erysipelas, in w-hich, after many drugs, Sulphur was prescribed and relieved. Welsch says he learned it fiom Katka, a thing lwhich has however been known and practiced by all Hahnemannians since forty years. In one week, Welsch gave Bellad., actli mrnr. (Schtissler), Apis, Rhus tox., ANttr. snph. (Schissler), Arsen., Chin. ars., Chin. sulph. and Laches. (nine remedies in seven days!). The case had grown dangerously worse, then Sulphur was given. No. 23, Nov. 30th, Schtissler replies: " Neither Kali mur. nor Natr. sulph. were indicated, but Iiali phosph., for Dr. Welsch says while the redness was spreading, hemorrhage took place in the vesicles, xbhikeh turned black and dried but slowly. If he had first prescribed Kali phosph. and afterwards Kali sulph., he would have treated the patient according to my Therapeutics." Hereupon, Dr. Welsch replied, Dec. 3d, printed No. 25, Pec. 14th, that the effusion of blood had appeared at a late period, and that Schtissler himself would not have given liali phosph. in the beginning. As for giving Kali sulph., there was no occasion for it since Sulphur promptly brought about peeling off the epidermis. Soon after Jan. 1st, 1875, Schitissler again: The case in question having gone through at number of stages, Ferr. phosph. would have been indicated in the beginning, and after the vesicles had formed Kali mlur.; later, with the disposition to adynamie Kali phosph. But Natr. sulph. was out of the question alter Kali mur., since a vesicular erysipelas cannot change into a phlegmonous; they are of a different species! The motives which prompt other honlceopathic physicians to select their remedies, I respect so highly that I do not in the least question the correctness of their choice, but it is another thing, when a remedy from my Therapeutics is used contrary to my inteationls. HOW TO USE THE TRITURATIONS. Schfissler says: I never use them below the 6th centesimal trituration; lower potencies are less to be depended upon than the middle. Dissolve as much as will lie on the point of a penknife, in half a tumbler of water, renewing the water every day. In acute cases give a tablespoonful every two hours; in chronic cases a tablespoonful only once or twice a day. NOTE. —The last remark in italics was omitted in Schaissler's last palmphlet. The remedies can be obtained also in higher potencies ot Boericke & Tafel. REPERTORY. NOTE.-To this repertory has been added not only what in the former edition had to be given as an appendix, but also what Schtissler published since, see page 19. It was considered useful to make some additions from the provings we have received since, Calc. fluor., by Dr. J. B. Bell, and Calc. sulph., Dr. Claron M. Conant, and one which will be printed soon, of AhN.tr. phoss2h., by lDr. E. Mi. Farrington. Some of the long-known characteristics of Calc. phosph. have also been added. The valuable confirmations by Dr. W. P. Wesselhoeft, added to the foregoing chapter, have also been referred to in this new repertory. All additions by others have been distinguished by the contributor's name in the former chapter. MIost symptoms of Calc. sulph. are Conant's a few are from an old proving made by C. Hg. Mind.

I cannot give a more accurate differential diagnosis.* Magn. phosph. suits in very acute, the Kali phosph. in paralyzing pains. The neuralgia which Cale. phosph. suits, stands between the two kinds of pain in: MJagn. phosph. and Kali phosph.t Magn. phosph. suits more in young and strong persons; Cale. phosph. more in the aged.} Kali phosph. in much reduced constitutions. Histologically this might be expressed: Magn. phosph. is indicated if an injurious stimulus has acted on the sound nervous tissues. Cale. phosph., if there is a want of the regenerative irritation for the nervous tissues. Kali phoiph., if through a long acting foreign irritation the nervous tissues fall into too rapid decay. Pains felt only during motion, or increased by motion, require as the first: EFerr. phosph.; as the second: Kali mur. Laming pains, lessened by moderate motion, increased by exertion, too long walks, especially after rising from the seat; beginning of motion: Kali phosph. * But we can as far as the proving of the Calc. phosph. allows. t Our proving gives it much more accurately. See A. J. of H., vol. xx., p. 232, 1871-2. t Cases collected here since forty years from a great many of the best practitioners, are even as much in favor of the age of childhood and the second dentition. 13 82 iThe Tzwelve Tissue Remedies.

Other Medicines. For the majority of diseases, where Hepar s. c. has been given heretofore, Cale. sulph. acts more intensely and in a wider sphere. For acute articular rheumatism: -Ferr. phosph. instead of Aeon., and Kali mtur. instead of Bryon. In Asiatic cholera 3Magn. phosph. might be given where we now give Cuprum or ipee.; Natr. phosph. in cases where Veratr., Arsen., Secal. have been applied. Camphor ought to be declared an emeritus, because it cannot be a homceopathic remedy, as it acts only in doses which can be smelled or tasted. NOTE,.-If Camphor cures cases of cholera it does not matter if it is homoeopathic or not; against Canthar. it acts in lower as well as in higher, by similarity of symptoms; neither smell nor taste have anything to do with its homoeopathicity. C. HG. NOTICE. OWING to wilful misinterpretations of the object of this publication, it becomes our duty to say: That the intention was to bring before the profession the remedies herein contained, in such form, that some use might be made of them, if occasion offered, without the delay consequent on thorough proving. At the same time it was hoped that it would stimulate some to make efforts at proving these most valuable remedies. Not with any desire to sanction in an unqualified manner such use of drugs not proved, nor yet endorse the substance presented. We supposed all homoeopathicians would understand this, else we should, for the benefit of the few, have expressed this fact more explicitly in the former editions. C. HG.
