EDITOR'S PREFACE. The first edition of this valuable "Pocket-Companion" has been long out of print. Dr. Jahr's third, improved and enlarged edition is too valuable a work, not to be clothed also in the English language, in order to assist the many stu- dents who have embraced with heart and soul the glorious doctrines of Hahnemann; but even the busy practitioner, to whom time is often too valuable to ponder over the larger works in the library at home, will find it a ready help by the side of the patient. As the " New Remedies" have steadily progressed in the estimation of our colleagues, we have not only added them to the chapter of Materia Medica, but have endeavored also to give to each its place among the different diseases in alphabetical order. We feel ourselves under last- ing obligations to Prof. Hempel, whose first edition of this work underlies this volume, also to Professors Guernsey and Raue, of Philadelphia; Prof. Wells, of New-York; Profs. Franklin and Helmuth, of St. Louis, and many others, for we have drawn on all sources to make this little volume as profitable as possible. May it guide the young physician to the selection of the true remedy; may it go on its mission to alleviate human sufferings, and my labor will be then amply rewarded. SAMUEL LILIENTHAL, M.D. New-York, Sept., 1869. This volume will be of great assistance to practitioners and students of medicine as well as to the general reader. By the assistance of the lately published works in Europe and America the symptomatology of each disease has been greatly enriched; and the editor has taken special pains to have the characteristics, or key-notes, of each remedy fully pointed out. The New Remedies have likewise received full consideration in the body of the text, wherever clinical facts have coincided with the provings. In short, no effort has been omitted to enhance the value of the original work by suitable additions from every proper source. Orders please address to the publishers BOERICKE & TAFEL, New- York. INTRODUCTION. Although we may justly presume, that every physician, who intends to practice Homoeopathy, has already studied Hahnemann's Organon and the principal works of our school, still it may happen, that this book will reach some, who have not enjoyed such opportunities ; and for those we will pre- mise the following general remarks—to point out to them the starting point, from which they have to take up their studies. § 1. Homoeopathy has been frequently called the specific art of cure, and if we do not understand by specific remedies such, as can be given against certain diseases in every case and at any time, Homoeopathy possesses a certain right to such a name, for although she has not for each disease its specific always healing remedy, yet she has for every sin- gle case its truly specific remedy, which we can find ac- cording to rules firmly established and which cannot de- ceive. § 2^. The rules are founded on the concordance of the symp- toms*produced by the chosen remedy to those of the given case of disease ; but not only do the general pathognomonic and local symptoms have to agree perfectly with the given case, but also particularly must the peculiar characteristic symptoms be found in the sphere of action of the remedy as well as in the disease. § 3. But not only does the suffering organ with its pathog- nomonic symptoms, but also the more remote (external, dis- ease-making) cause and the individual constitution of the patient play a part in the selection of the remedy; as there are many, which by virtue of their pathogenetic qualities correspond most exactly to the consequences of certain ex- ternal causes (as contusion, disordered stomach, overheating, fatigue, mental emotions, catching cold, &c.) or to particular ages, sexes, trades, modes of life, or some peculiar con- stitutions. § 4. In order to become accustomed to a certain method, it would be advisable, to aim in every medical examination at the following four points, and to ascertain seriatim as nearly as possible: 2 introduction. 1.) The suffering organ and the kind of morbid process which befel it, with the pathognomic symptoms belong- ing to it. 2.) The pathological, non-essential symptoms, but which especially characterize the case in hand. 3.) The external cause, by influence of which the disease was produced. 4.) The morbid disposition of the patient according to his constitution, age, sex, mode of life or occupation, &r. § 5. In order to find out the suitable remedy, it is not ma- terial, in which order this examination was made, but we must be careful to consider every essential feature of the case. Suppose we begin with the suffering organ and the pathological process—present in it, (as inflammation, spasm, paralysis) we will often find a great many remedies covering the case, which number will diminish as soon as we examine the non-essential, so called accidental symptoms, but which distinguish this case from all others. From this smaller circle we again select those remedies, which agree to the morbid cause of the case and the individual constitution of the pa- tient, reducing thus the number to two or three, till we select one as the remedy, covering the case. § 6. We may however find cases, in which no single remedy covers all the symptoms according to their order, inas/nuch as one may suit the pathognomic symptoms, another may give us the individual characteristic symptoms, a third may cover the causal ones, without being in accord with the con- stitution of the patient. $ 7. The value of the accidental symptoms, having fre- quently very little in common with the pathognomic symj)- toms, has to be well considered in acute diseases, for we often find, that a remedy, appearing for itself very little suited to the pathological state and perhaps only found in the fourth or fifth rubric for this disease, may yet cure the disease as if by magic; on account of that accidental symptom, present in this individual case and also in the remedy. But if two remedies show the same accidental symptom, we would cer- tainly prefer that one, which also most perfectly contained the pathognomic symptoms. But of still higher value, than even these accidental symptoms, in acute diseases is the con- sideration of the external disease-producing causes, (as over- heating, catching cold, poisoning, indigestible or noxious food, mechanical influences, anxiety, grief, anguish, fright, home- sickness and other emotions). When such a disease-pro- INTRODUCTION. 3 ducing influence is clearly made out, we have to prefer the remedies covering such cause, to all others and select from them again that one responding to the individual cha- racteristic symptoms of the case. § 8. In all tedious chronic diseases the importance of all external disease-producing causes is of less importance, though not to be neglected, neither do we often find clearly expressed characteristic symptoms in the diseased organ, on which to base the selection of the remedy. The only rational method, by which to deal with such cases, is, to find out not only the individual constitution of the patient, and to write out the whole history of the case from its very beginning, going back even to infancy; but to choose then a remedy, cor- responding most perfectly to the totality of the symptoms seen in this history. In such an examination we must con- sider nothing trivial, although it may not show a clear rela- tion to the- present disease. For example, a patient suffers from chronic gastritis, or from haemorrhoids, or from any other chronic disease and all our apparently well-selected remedies have failed to produce favorable results; it would then be imperative upon us to consider well every thing ab- normal in the functions of the organs of the patient. Alo- pecia, ailments of the eyes and ears, the state of the skin, of the respiratory or abdominal organs, &c, in fact, every thing must be considered, for it may give us a clue to the remedy. Especially former diseases, and the remedies, used for them, lead sometimes to the right selection; also, the so-called individual morbid disposition of the patient, as frequent coryza, the sweat of the feet and axillae, constipation or di- arrhoea ; temperament, character, state of the mind; chil- blains, or other diseases of the skin; in general, all tendencies to anamalous states of health. § 9. What we have said of chronic diseases in relation to time, in reference to the study of all pathological states, through which the patient may have passed during his life, the same holds good in relation to epidemic diseases, accord- ing to space. As in chronic diseases—the time is the form, under which the total morbid entity of an individual shows itself, so also epidemics show only their total entity on many single individuals: as it never happens, that we can see all manifestations on a single person; but one person shows one group and others other groups of the symptoms, peculiar to the reigning epidemic. Now in such epidemics, only those remedies will have the greatest power even against single 4 INTRODUCTION. symptoms, which correspond by the complex of their symp- toms to the totality of the disease; and it is therefore in such cases the first duty of a physician, to collect from many soli- tary cases a full picture of all manifestations and symptoms, belonging to this disease, and to adjust to this picture a cor- responding series of remedies, each of which will act most efficiently in that case, in which it is also in accord with the individual manifestations. § 10. It may not be superfluous, to show a little more clearly, in what series of symptoms these manifestations, which define a remedy as peculiar and specific to a given case, must be sought for. We all know, that this cannot be the peculiar kind of pain, (cutting, stitching, pressing, etc.,) nor the peculiar seat of the pain ; as in most cases the patient is hardly able to define strictly his sensation and the place where he feels them ; and with few exceptions, (as the burning pain of arsenic,) the same sensations are found among a great many remedies. Of more weight are the circumstances and conditions, by which certain pains or symptoms make their appearance, as e. g. at night, in the morning, after eating, in this or that position of the body, during or after certain oc- cupations, tfce. Of the same value are also the so-called ac- companying symptoms, that is, ailments appearing simulta- neously with the pain or the fever, or the chill, the sweat, vomiting, stool, nausea, fainting, spasms, &c. Where all such circumstances are plainly found in the case of the disease, and in the corresponding remedy, we may safely assert that good results -will be produced by the application of the remedy. § 11. Not always, however, does it happen in practice, that we can fix at last our choice only on one remedy : it happens rather frequently, that after a most thorough investigation our choice remains vacillating between two or three reme- dies, of which each corresponds to a part of the most weighty indications; but none to the whole of them, or two or three of them appear equally adapted to the case, without our being able to decide which ought to be preferable. In such a case it would be advisable to prefer that remedy, which has thus far done the most service in combatting the disease. Such a remedy A\ill then either help or alter the case so far, that, after its action has run its course, or even during that time another one will be indicated with more certainty and given with better effect. $ 12. But in every case it is advisable, after having given the best selected remedy, to wait a certain time according to INTRODUCTION. 5 the severity or mildness of the case, before we exchange a carefully chosen remedy for another. In very severe diseases, running its course quickly, as a clear case of Asiatic cholera, a remedy must show some curative action in an hour or tioo, (orMess); in severer forms the beginning of an amendment ought to show itself in from six to twelve hours ; in less severe cases after twelve to twenty-four hours; and in chronic cases it may be retarded for four, eight or ten days. Under such circumstances, the physician, after having made judi- ciously his choice, must always await patiently the action of the remedy, before he changes it for another; and if the disease has even not made any progress for the better in that time, but only remained in statu quo, without getting any worse ; this of itself alone is a sufficient indication, not to change the remedy, but to continue its further influence, at least for twice the time above given. Should, however, the disease increase during that period, and instead of ameliora- tion, more or less dangerous symptoms show themselves, then certainly we are justified in changing this remedy for an- other, better suited to the present condition. § 13. It happens however, sometimes, that even the best selected remedy, from which we had a right to expect good results, produces in the beginning, instead of a perceptible amelioration, a seeming aggravation, and new symptoms in the state of the patient; and only after their disappearance a more striking and quick amelioration sets in. In such a case it would certainly be most imprudent, to change the re- medy before a reasonable time, and it becomes us to know, how to distinguish between such a seeming, artificial aggra- vation and a real progress of the disease. Such aggravations appear usually only with sensitive persons or with such, pos- sessing a particular idiosyncrasy, manifest in high suscepti- bility to the effects of certain remedies; frequently they are also the natural consequences of a dose, rather too large, of the given remedy. But if the remedy is the one truly indi- cated, these new symptoms will most plainly show themselves inside of that period, in which we have to wait for the action of the remedy. They appear also in most cases in the sphere of the accidental symptoms, showing usually the character of mutability and want of steadiness, violent though they may be: finally, a good observer will perceive in them a simulta- neous beginning of amendment, rendered evident in the sen- sations, and the whole deportment of the patient. All this will only be seen in cases, in which the remedy tried was the 6 INTRODUCTION. one really indicated. But in the contrary case these aggrava- tions and new symptoms appear later, i. e. alter the expira- tion of the periods intimated in former paragraphs. They are then more strongly fixed in their manifestations, increase rather during their course and the whole state of the patient is for the worse. There is then no time for waiting, but without delay, a remedy more suitable to the present state has to be employed. § 14. However difficult the selection of the right remedy may appear to the beginner at the start, yet that difficulty is small in comparison with the question of the dose and the repetition of the remedy,—a question about which the best physicians of our school have not as yet reached a definite conclusion. One advises only strong tinctures, or at the utmost the very lowest dilutions,—every two or three hours —a drop or a grain ; others use, according to circumstances, the different dilutions, in drops or in pills, dry or dissolved in water, either in a single dose or repeated every one, two, three, up to twenty-four hours. Others, again, ascend far above the thirtieth up to the very highest dilutions, (even to the hundred thousandth,) and ascribe to them their safe and speedy cures. It is useless, to descant here on the different theories, by which these successes are explained, may it suf- fice to say, that cures can be made with any dilution, pro- vided that the doses are neither too often repeated nor too seldom. § 15. We do not mean to say, that the degree of dilution is of no moment whatever, for if we take fresh venereal ulcers as an example, we find the higher dilution of Mercury to have no effect whatever: whereas, the first, second or or third trituration of Mercury, one-half grain morning and evening, will eradicate the disease in at least ten days. But such cases are entirely too solitary to build upon them any theory whatever. In other familiar instances, e. g. Cannabis in Gonorrhoea, Yeratrum in Cholera, Spongia in Croup and other remedies, in thousands of different cases, we have evi- dence that the same remedial power is effective, in whatever dilution the remedy may be given, as I can affirm from large experience. § 16. In spite of all the efforts made to find out the differ- ent modes of action between the high and low dilutions, this labor has so far been in vain, and nobody can prove with certainty, whether the former or the latter of these are stronger or weaker. Indeed, it is problematical, if repeated INTRODUCTION. 7 concussions render the remedies stronger or more penetrat- ing : for my own experience has shown me, that either one acts variously on different persons. But we may take this for an axiom and past all doubt, that we have not as yet found the limit, up to which dilutions can be carried, and it may be, that the one, who gives for example, the eight- thousandth, gives apotenceas surely curative, as the one who uses the first or third; we leave out, of course, those excep- tional cases, which require only the low dilutions. § 17. Although in relation to their absolute efficacy no dif- ference could as yet be set up between the high and low dilutions: yet the difference in the mode of their efficacy will yet be made out. That excellent and ingenious physician, Dr. Hering, has already drawn in several places the attention to such a difference, that the higher dilutions have as secon- dary effects, what the lower have as primary effects: Thus Opium in large doses produces sleep, but in small ones, i. e., higher dilutions sleeplessness; or Natrum-muriaticum in low dilutions thirst, in the higher dilutions, thirstlessness. Should this be found true, as my experience teaches me, that it will, it would be well to ponder over it in all remedies, which are rich on reciprocal actions; then plumbum, nux- vomica, opium in lower dilutions would be truly homoeo- pathic to constipation, but in higher dilutions to diarrhoea. But even such a rule would have many exceptions, as the known and successful application of Nux-v-om. and Plumb, in the highest dilutions and in the smallest doses for constipation, so that for the moment it still remains an open question, to be decided by further experience. § 18. But there is another, more essential difference, for which I have already claimed attention (in 1851) and which has since been duly acknowledged by several of my colleagues. This does not consist in the larger or smaller efficacy of the dilutions, i. e., not in its strength or weakness, but in the development of the peculiarities of the remedy, furthered per- haps by percussion, so that, the higher we ascend, we find more clearly the special and peculiar character of the re- medy. Let us imagine one or more concentric circles, as the figure of the next paragraph will show, whereof each radius signifies a remedy in its different stages of dilution, according to its distance from the centre. In the first dilution, that is, in the innermost circle, where the radii still lie close together, similar or related remedies, as Merc, Bell., Lach. have yet a great many symptoms in common: but the more they pro- 8 INTRODUCTION. gress in the scale of dilution, the more they recede also in their effects and every one appears in its particular, strictly different or sj>ecific peculiarities: so that, when, for example, in a given case of disease, where the choice lies between two or three different remedies, one as well as the other ?/iay help in loio dilutions. This never can be admitted icith the higher and highest dilutions, as soon as the case shows strongly marked symptoms for only one of these very similar remedies. § 19. A known fact, which helps to corroborate this view of the qualitatire difference of the dilutions, is among others also the effect of medicaments and poisons in large, massive, or at any rate sufficient doses, to produce their noxious ge- neric effect. In such doses, all narcotics, as Belladonna, Opium, Stramonium, act in a manner equally stupefying, producing death by apoplexy or paralysis; all drastics pro- ducing vomiting or purging; the so-called acrid poisons in- flammation of the stomach and bowels, and at this point of INTRODUCTION. 9 lowest dilution, where all the radii lie together as yet in one point, it is impossible to perceive any specific difference what- ever between the different effects of the single narcotics, drastics or other related substances, than that the one already unfolds its generic effect with doses under a grain, while others need several grains of the crude substance to show the same or equal effect. § 20. All provings, made only by crude substances, have given us so far only general manifestations, as the} are also found in every other material of the same generic action, but hardly any special characteristics. Only to the Hahneman- nian provings with dilutions up to the thirtieth are we indebt- ed for the most characteristic symptoms. We do not deny the necessity, in order to get acquainted with the general generic effect of a medicament, to make provings with large undiluted doses : but to get at the strictly differential quali- ties, distinguishing it from all others, related to it, it will be just as necessary to make conscientious and careful provings with the higher and highest dilutions. § 21. By continued diluting and concussing, remedies get therefore neither stronger nor weaker, but their indivielual peculiarities become more strongly and more rigorously de- veloped, and it is this which has for a long time governed me in my practice. I use in all cases, in which on account of less conspicuous and characteristic symptoms, the choice vacil- lates between two or three similar remedies, that remedy which seems to me the most indicated, but I give it in the lower dilutions (1 to 15). But where a case strictly indicates only one remedy, whose true characteristic symptoms (Key- notes) correspond exactly with the most characteristic symp- toms of the case under treatment, I prefer and choose with confidence the higher or highest dilutions : for I know, that exactly the specialty, which we need, is only fully developed in the highest dilutions, and from them only can we expect the best results, and it is really remarkalrte, what quick suc- cess often follows the application of only a single elose. § 22. My rule in reference to the size and repetition of the dose is: to dissolve in all severe, acute cases, with or without fever, as in acute inflammations, severe convulsions, frequent vomiting or diarrhoea, furious rheumatism, from three to six pellets in a tumbler half full of water, and to give ac- cording to the rapidity or slowness of the disease every hour or every 2 or 3 hours (in cases like Cholera every quarter to half an hour) a tea-spoonful (not a table-spoonful), and I 1* 10 INTRODUCTION. have reason to be perfectly satisfied with such a procedure. In less severe cases, as in eoryza, light rheumatic: attacks, se- quels of catching cold, affections of the stomach from indiges- tion and similar cases I give every twenty-four hours (if necessary) one dose, two or three pellets of the indicated di- lution dry on the tongue of the patient, or morning and eve- ning a tea-spoonful of the medicine, prepared by dissolving the pellets in a tumbler half full of water. In truly chronic and tedious cases I give a dose only every four days, each of three pellets, either dry on the tongue, or I prepare a solution of them, a tea-spoonful of it to be taken in the morning for a week, and then wait for the result eight to fourteen days, or if amendment occurs, even from three to five weeks. § 23. I prefer the pellets to the alcoholic dilutions, as it seemed to me, that the Alcohol increases the action of the remedies on the nervous system ; whereas the pellets, after the Alcohol has evaporated, have the same curative influence, without irritating the nerves. For the same reason I nerve add Alcohol to the watery solution, in order to make it keep better, when it has to be taken for a long time; but I prefer to give the patient several powders, each of which containing the medicated pellets, in order that he may renew himself the medicine every day or two. With such a procedure I hardly ever see this nervous irritation happening so easily to sen- sitive persons even after the smallest dose. § 24. My reason forgiving the medicine only in tea-spoon- ful doses and for the small quantity of pellets, arises from the conviction, that the right remedy, ho/cerer small the dose may be, will show its beneficial effect in the period, indicated in § 12. and if this small dose has not done it by that time, a larger dose would certainly not have done it better, but rather aggravated the evil. My large experience has convin- ced me, that where such a dose of a truly indicated remedy has done nothing in a given time, yea where the disease in spite of it has rather increased, no larger dose or more fre- quent repetition will avail; but we have to examine anew, in order to select a remedy, more appropriate to the present state of the disease. § 25. We have already remarked in §15. that there are exceptions, where massive doses are the rule, and we will ex- plain here the reason of it. Reviewing all cases, which may happen in the common run of practice, it appears to me, that this exception is entirely limited to the primary svphilitic ulcer, produced by the chancre poison. For all other kinds INTRODUCTION. 11 of ulcers, substantial alterations and affections of the skin (even condylomata, scirrhus and carcinoma, when curable) pass away just as well as purely dynamic affections under re- peated application of doses, as indicated in § 22. and if it is the right remedy, still more speedily, even under the use of the very highest dilutions. Why therefore this solitary stand- ing exception of the effects of Mercury in primary syphilitic ulcers ? Does Mercury only in low dilutions produce its action, similar to syphilis, and is it in the higher ones enanthiopathjc ? Or does the essence of a syphilitic ulcer consist in a living organic fungosity (a vegetable or animal parasite) which Mercury does not cure or remove on homoeopathic princi- ples ? but, being given in sufficiently large doses, destroys by its inherent power, so inimical to everything organic this for- mation of the living organic cells? This at least is the only rational way, by which we might explain this solitary excep- tion to a general rule. But the same ought to be the case in cancer, in favus and other diseases, where inimical fungosities and living parasites play such a great part, and yet the con- trary is the case. ,\Ye leave the subject therefore undecided and unexplained. § 26. There are again some chronic diseases, as certain lipomata, some kinds of polypi and in general some local affections of little activity, or some tedious indispositions of the mental or emotional or other functions, where it is ab- solutely necessary for a cure, to wait for the action of the remedy, given either in one dose or for four to five days in quick succession, because some affections need more or less time for their retrogression and removal. Should we continue to give such a remedy daily for six or eight weeks, the orga- nism would then get accustomed to the remedy, no reaction will follow any more and the cure will be retarded, or these continued doses produce after a few days so many new symp- toms, that the physician will be forced to exchange it for a new one, before the first has had time, to act favorably; a procedure, which is certainly not the high-road to success. Many a time have we seen one or several doses of a perfectly indicated remedy keep up its action for six or eight weeks and remove permanently chronic diseases, especially tedious affections of the stomach, tumors, goitre, herpes, polypi, &c. § 27. During the time we await the action of one or of several'doses of the well-selected remedy, given in quick suc- cession, we will either see some of the unavoidable accessory effects or the aggravations produced by it, which will com- 12 INTRODUCTION. monly appear during the first eight, ten, or fourteen days, (and it is our imperative' duty, to let them pass off, for they are certainly followed by an amelioration, continuing steadily for weeks and months, without another remedy being neces- sary), or, as it is sometimes the case, after a few doses a visible, though temporary amendment takes place and towards the third and fourth "or fifth week an aggravation of the original ailment appears, and this is a sure sign, that the remedy, in spite of its apparent similarity, was not the true one, and that we have to change it for another related to it. In such a ca-*e it would be a great mistake, to give the first remedy in re- newed or stronger doses. § 2S. It may happen also sometimes, that in these chronic cases, during the time, that we await the action of the single dose, the amelioration suddenly stops, after having continued steadily to the eighth or ninth week and the case seems to get worse again. Here irreparable injury might be done, if we should then give a new remedy or repeat the former one; for by letting these ailments pass on for five, six or eight days, without doing anything, they disappear for themselves, to give room to a more lasting improvement, and this will pro- gress for months without interruption. One of the most re- markable and instructive cases, I saw in the beginning of my practice in 1828, was that of a patient, who had suffered from herpes during eight years. One dose of Calcarea sufficed to make the herpes disappear from the face and fore-arms in about three weeks. However towards the eighth week some vesicles appeared again on the places formerly affected, in- creasing so much by the third day, that I thought best to give another dose of the Calcarea. But a severe aggravation followed, so that I changed for another remedy in a week; and the case dragged its slow length along during nine months under different remedies. At last a dose of Arsenicum brought the patient back to that state in which I found him in the beginning and for which I had given Calcarea. Nothing re- mained, but to try it again. I gave 3/^ in a single dose and the result was the same as before: a clear skin was seen after the third week, but followed by the appearance of new vesi- cles about the end of the ninth week. By that time I had been made acquainted with the remarks of Drs. Hering and Gersdorff, who had already observed those late aggravations of certain remedies and I concluded to do nothing. Before a week passed these vesicles decreased again, after ten days the patient was again perfectly clean and he has remained INTRODUCTION. 13 cured during the next twenty years, as I have seen him on several occasions during that time. § 29. This case teaches us also, that it is not advisable, after having awaited the action of a remedy and improvement has set in, to apply the same remedy, should a new aggravation take place. Renewed favorable action of the same remedy we can only expect, after .having given one or more inter- mediate remedies. An astute observer moreover readily perceives, that in most cases this renewed aggravation (which is not produced by the remedy) shows somewhat different symptoms; so that in fact a repetition of the first remedy is not at all indicated, but for the the ensuring of a perfect cure we need a remedy correlated to that first used. In several articles of this book we shall try to draw attention to reme- dies, which may advantageously follow one another ; but we advise the practitioner not to rely blindly on such expedients, but to study every case for itself and the remedy suitable to each one, as it may appear at different times. § 30. Many practitioners have seen good effects from the alternation of correlated remedies, as Bell, and Merc, in angina, Bry. and Rhus in typhoid fever, &c. If we understand by alternation a procedure, in which the second remedy is not applied, till the first one ceases to produce any further ame- lioration, and if then we do not return again to the first re- medy, till the second one has done alLthe good expected from it; and if we are then sure, that this first remedy is again in- dicated : then we perfectly agree to such alternation, for cases may occur and do occur, in which such a course of treat- ment is the very thing needed. But another mode of alter- nation is frequently recommended; this is, to combine, as it were, two remedies, by giving them alternately in quick suc- cession, without allowing either one time enough for its action, either according to the severity of the case every one to three hours a dose, first one and then the other, or by alternately changing the remedies every twenty-four hours or in chronic cases every four to eight days. We will not and cannot deny, that such a practice may have done some good, but we do not wish to recommend it to the beginner, partly because we have no experience about it, partly because even those, who pursue this mode of treatment, could never give us any fixed rules about their application. § 31. The same objection, but in far higher degree, is also valid against the simultaneous application of two remedies, of which each corresponds to a part of the symptoms, but 14 INTRODUCTION. neither one to their totality. We have no right and do not intend to blame or criticize the old experienced practitioner or even the young physician, for trying such procedure, as freedom of thought and of action belongs to every one. But in the name of personal liberty and true science we firmly protest, when some' dictators of our school endeavor to base upon such experiments a rule and a binding law for others : for true science can have nothing to do with such a lawless and perfectly arbitrary procedure, as it is impossible, to deduct from such treatment a fixed rule, according to which we' can hereafter act. For who can tell beforehand, in what combi- nations the actions of two simultaneously given remedies will enter into the organism, and what will be the final result ? Some defenders of the mixed doses have proposed, to make provings of such remedies in their combination, as Bell, and Merc, but this absurdity is too palpable, te> be ever thought of; for such combination-provings would only lead us to an infinite chaotic confusion ; the complex of symptoms thus re- ceived would it be more comprehensive, as our polvchrests ne>w are, in which we may find combinations and complications enough, if we only study them rightly? And where should it end ? for provings could again and again be maele by combi- nation of three and even four remedies, withoutever reaching a more satisfactory result. § 32. The old physician, or even every practitioner may act in his practice, as he pleases, and make experiments, as he pleases, but a teacher dare only recommend safe methods, based on firm principles and rules; he must insist, therefore, that in all cases only one remedy, clearly indicated, be given at once, the action of which cannot be safely interrupted, till we are sure, that no further curative effect can be expected from the further continuance of its action. O! how we wish, that every student would swear allegiance to this rule, till he has collected experience enough to enable him, to know how and when to try experiments. Only a master, but not the apprentice, dare to override fixed rules: for only the mas- ter knoAvs, what he does and how it is done. § 33. The rule, we have given to beginners, on acount of the simplicity of the dose, we will enlarge to hold also the dose and its repetition. If the beginner wishes to be on the safe side, it will be to his advantage, to give only the smallest doses (two to three pellets dry or three to six pellets, dissolved in water, a tea-spoonful at a time) of the middle dilutions (twelve, fifteen, thirty) and not to repeat the medicine, till INTRODUCTION. 15 he is sure by observation of its effect (§ 12), that he has chosen the right remedy, for the truth must never be forgot- ten : that it is not the direct action of the remedy, which 2>roduees the cure, but the curative power of nature, incited to reaction by the remedy. From this truth several axioms arise, which we would re commend for further observation. 1) It is far better in all doubtful cases, to give too weak a dose of a middle dilution, than too large a dose of the tincture or of the highest dilutions, inasmuch as the mistakes, com- mitted by giving too small a dose, may be easily rectified, whereas the mistakes of giving too strong a dose can never be made good again. 2) In all cases, where there is no direct indication to ex- change one remedy for another, nor for repetition of the remedy, it is our duty, to wait, till we find an indication for the one or the other. 3) So long as the disease does not progress any further, after the application of the remedy, there is not the least dan- ger in waiting, till new indications appear. 4) So long as the curative power of nature, after having given our remedy, reacts favorably on the disease, it is the duty of the physician to do nothing; for all that he could do, would only more or less disturb the curative action of nature, and therefore, instead of improving, aggravate the case. 5) There is nothing more injurious to the patient, than the impatience of the physician and the constant change of reme- dies. The quiet, attentively observing physician will fare better in chronic diseases with two or three remedies, in single doses and at long intervals, and cure his patient more easily in a few months, than another with sixty remedies, given hourly or daily, could do in so many years. 6) A plain, continually progressing improvement, although slow, is far preferable to the uncertain hope of a very proble- matical acceleration by prematurely chosen new remedies or by repeated doses. 7) There are also cases, in which it is far better, to leave the disease to nature and its natural course, than to attack the patient continually with large and repeated doses of badly selected remedies. 8) In fact, our rule must be: it shall be our aim, to do THE UTMUST WITH FEW REMEDIES AND RARE DOSES, FOR NA- TURE, NOT THE REMEDY, IS THE CURATIVE AGENT.

CLINICAL GUIDE; OR, POCKET-REPERTORY; FOR THE HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT OP ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES. 21 V N. B.—The classification of remedies which 1 have used in this Repertory is the same as that which has been used in my Manual. The remedies under No. 1 nrj those that have acquired authority both from our provings and from experience at the sick-bed; the remedies under No. 2 are likewise authoritative, but not in the same absolute sense as those under No. 1. The remedies under No. 3 have only been confirmed by single cases, or are simply indicated theoretically ; and the remedies marked with an interrogation-point (7), have never been used in practice, and are proposed upon a mere theoretical suggestion. 22 CLINICAL GUIDE FOR THE HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHEONIC DISEASES. ABSCESSES, internal and external, § 1. Internal ab- scesses generally require the same remedies as external. A preference should be given : a) For acute abscesses, to: 1) bell. hep. mere. sil. 2) apis. ars. asa. bry. cepa. cham. hep. lacli. led. mez. phos. puis. sulph. b) for chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by congestions, to: asa, aur. calc. carb-v. con. hep. iod. laur. lye. mang. mere, merc-c. nitr-ac. phosph. sep. sil. sulph. Further: if there arises on any internal or external part a painful, red, inflamed, swelling, which may point and form a suppurating swelling, bell., or if this does not succeed in twenty-four to forty-eight hours, hepar will often disperse the whole swelling and keep suppuration off; but when once matter has formed, Merc, will bring on the discharge of the pus and frequently finish the case up, its chief indication being, that suppuration must have already taken place. Should the open wound not heal under the continuation of Merc, give hep. or silic, which are the real specifics against all benig- nant or malignant suppurations. If the abscess looks erysi- pelatous: Apis. bell, -if bluish, Lach. § 2. Particular indications.

AMBLYOPL\, weakness or morbid alteration of sight. § 1. weakness of sight from mere dim-sightedness to complete blindness may arise from so many causes, and may be attend- ed with so many different morbid states of the organism, .hat there is scarcely a remedy which is not of advantage in the treatment of this affection. I have, therefore, noted only the most efficacious remedies for amblyopia, furnishing par- ticular indications to serve as points of support, and to facili- tate the selection of remedies for particular cases. The principal remedies for amblyopia are: 1) aur. bell. calc. caust. chin. cic. cin. dros. hyosc. mere, natr.-m. n.- vom. phos. puis. ruta. sep. sil. sulph. veratr. 2) agar. cann. caps, cimicif. con. croc. dig. dulc. euphr. guaj. kal. lach. lachn. lye. magn. natr. nitr.-a. op. plumb, rhus. sec. spig tart. zinc. For amblyopia, simple weakness of sight. 1) anac. bell. calc. caps. cin. croc, hyosc. lye. magn. puis. ruta. sep. sulph. 2) cann. caust. cep. natr. natr.-m. phos. plumb. &c.

For complete ameturosis, provided it is not incurable, the same remedies should be used as for amblyopia amaurotica, the remedy depending not so much upon the degree of weak- ness, as upon the totality of the symptoms. Unless secondary symptoms should require other remedies, we may use: bell. 2 26 AMBLYOPIA. calc. mere, phosph. sep. sulph. <(v. though any other re- medy may be used if indicated by the general symptoms. For erethic amaurosis, principally: Bell. cact. calc. cic. cimicif. con. gels, hyosc. mere, nitr.-a. op. phos. sep. sulph. &c.

But as it would be impossible, to enumerate those symptoms without repeating the pathogenesis of every remedy indicated, we must content ourselves with furnishing the following particular indications for the different remedies ofthe eyes, leaving to the practi- tioner the business of supplying omissions and modifying our indications agreeably to the general symptoms of the patient.

Put a few pel- lets of the specific remedy on the tongue of the patient, or ARTHRALGIA. 43 administer the medicine by the rectum; not omitting the re- quired mechanical means of cure ; but never resort to BLEEDING. If the asphyxia should have been caused by a bloio, fall, &c, give Arnica, especially if the patient has not been blecl before ; in the contrary case, or if the patient lost much blood in consequence ofthe injury, give first China, (accord- ing to Hering) and then Arnica, If arising from suffocation; Hering recommends for those who tried to kill themselves by suspension : opium ; by inha- lation of carbonic acid gas : Op. aeon. bell.; and by drown- ing : Dachesis. For asphyxia from congelation, after the patient has been resusitated by the usual means, give for the remaining symp- toms : Ars. carb.-veg. or aeon. bry. For asphyxia by stroke of lightning, give : n.-vom. The pa- tient should at the same time be placed in recently dug soil, half sitting, half lying, and should be covered with it all over, except his face, which is to be turned towards the sun, until the first signs of life become apparent. For asphyxia of new-born infants, we use: Tart. op. chin. and aeon, (according to Hempel.) Compare causes and conditions. ARTHRALGIA. § 1.

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

CONDITIONS OF AGGRAVATIONS, or Ameliora- tion OF THE SYMPTOMS. § 1. There are practitioners Avho select a remedy princi- pally Avith reference to the external conditions of the symp- toms, such as: the time of day when they appear, the side of the body, heael, chest, &c, Avhere they appear, &c This is evidently going too far, though it cannot be denied, that these external conditions have a general value in many cases, and facilitate the selection of a remedy, provided the practi- tioner is otherwise thoroughly acquainted Avith the essential points of our Materia Medica. To select a remedy Avith re- ference to these external conditions exclusively, might prove of great detriment to the patient. t$ 2.

The so-called bakers' itch requires: 1) Sulph. lye : or, 2) Calc. dulc. rhus. and graph. § 5. Other eruptions are easily confounded with the itch. Impetigo, eczema, Ac, exactly resembling the itch, may be gradually developed by uncleanliness, vermin; and the only difference between these eruptions and the itch is, that the aearus, this only true pathognomonic characteristic of the itch, is Avanting in the former. For acarous itch, Sulph. is undoubtedly the principal spe- cific, though it seems by no means impossible that Caust. mere, Ac, might cause such an alteration in the cutaneous exhalations as Avould lead to the destruction of the aearus, which I regard as the cause, not the effect, of the itch. I know of a young man who contracted an eruption in conse- quence of having slept in an unclean beel on a journey, and who removed it by a wash of tobacco-juice and vinegar. ITCHING OF THE SKIN. 287 This acarous itch admits of a mere external treatment, with the Sulphur-ointment, Avithout exposing the patient to the danger of contracting secondary diseases. Of course I do not AA'ish to be understood as if I Avould sanction the treatment, by external applications, of the various itch-like eruptions Avhere the aearus is not present. These are the eruptions to Avhich Hahnemann's psora-doctrine should be applied, and the suppression of Avhich, by salves and washes, will induce the various secondary affections enumerated by Hahnemann and Autenrieth. The proper way, therefore, would be to distingish, 1) Sca- bies acarosa, which can be treated externally without danger, provided the aearus is the cause, not the effect of the disease; 2) Scabies Impetiginosa, eczematica, &c, dynamic diseases requiring a purely internal treatment. As regards symptoms, I recommend for eruptions seated in the folds of joints, and especially7 in the hands and between the fingers, if characterized by itching : a) Generally: 1) Sulph. 2) Carb.-veg. caust. mere 6elen. sep. sulph. 3) Ant. ars. lach. veratr. 4) Coloc, dulc. cupr. kreos. mang. phos.-ac. squill, tart. zinc. b) For eruptions readily bleeding : 1) Merc. 2 ) Calc. dulc. sulph. c) Dry and rash-like eruptions: 1) Carb.-veg. mere sep. sil. sulph. 2) Calc. caust. cupr. dulc. led. veratr. d) Humid eruptions : 1) Carb.-veg. graph, lye. sulph. 2) Caust. clem, kreas. sep. staph. e) Pustulous eruptions: 1) Caust. kreas. mere sep. sulph. 2) Ant. squill. § 6.

Accord- ing to Hering, a beverage composed of equal portions of vinegar and water, to be taken in large quantities, is the best antidote. It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle. Instead of vinegar lemon juice may be employed ; and if the patient should desire, these acids may be used alternately with sugar, black coffee, or fresh black tea. If the dryness of the throat should continue after usitu* these remedies, and if even slimy injection should not Vxo- cure an evacuation from the bowels, give Bry., and continue it as long as the symptoms continue to be unfavorable. ^ The ailments which remain after Bry., sometimes yield to Phos.-ac ; and, if paralysis or consumption should set in give Ars. or kreas. POISONING, toxication. § 1. We refer the reader to Dr. Herinefs treatise on Poisons,» from which the principal items contained in this work about poisons and their antidotes have been borroAved. § 2 In treating a case of poisoning, tAvo things are re- quired : 1) Bemoval of the exciting cause; and, 2) Treat- ment of the disease occasioned by the poisoning. This treatment is to be conducted in every case ao-reeable to the principles of the neAv school. The removal ofthe poisonous substances should be effected by the simplest and most innocent method, either with the finger, or, if this should be impossible, as in the case of poi- sons that had been sAvalloAved, we recommend the folio win o- means suggested by Hahnemann and Ilerinq: 1)_Excite- vomiting or stool by the simplest means, copious administration of tepid water, irritating the fauces by means of a feather or something similar; placing on the tongue a pinch of salt, snuff or mustard; or, if neither of these means should be sufficient, resort to injections of tobacco-smoke. 2) Neutralize the poison by means of: The white of an egg, vinegar, or lemon-juice, coffee, camphor, milk, oil, soap, mu- cilaginous elriuks, tea, wine, sugar; or, in some cases: am- moniacal gas, iron-rust, charcoal, kitchen-salt, epsom-salt, 366 POISONING. sweet-almond oil, spiritus-nitr.-dulc, potash, boiled starch, d-c § 3. Particular indications: White of an ecu;, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of water, and used as a drink, especially for: Metallic substances, such as quicksilver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead, and sulphuric-acid; Avhen the patient complains of violent pains in the stomach or abdomen, Avith tenesmus, or diarrhoea anel pains at the anus. Vinegar: Antidotes poisoning Avith alkaline substances; but is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corm- sive vegetable substances, Arsenic, and a large quantity of salts. In many cases it removes the ill effects of Aconite, ()/>ium, narcotic substances, j/oisonous mushrooms, belladon- na, carbonic-acid gas, lujKtr-sulphuris, jioisonous muscles anel fish, and even of aeliju'e-acid. The vinegar may be drank or administered by the rectum, alternately Avith mucilagin- ous substances. The vinegar shoubl be as pure as possible. Crab-vinegar is, of itself, poisonous. Coffee: Stre/ngblack coffee, the beans being little roasted, and drank as hot as possible. Indispensable for a large num- ber of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoxica- tion, loss of consciousness, or modal derangement, delirium, dec, in general antidoting narcotic substances, such as: Opium, nux-vom., belladonna, 'narcotic mushrooms, poison- ous sumach, bitter almonds, prussic-acid and all those sub- stances containing it, Bell., colocynth, valer., cicuta and cham. In case of poisoning with Antimony, Bhosphor. and Bhos- phoric-acid, coffee is no less indispensable Camphor: Principal antidote of all vegetable substances. especially such as have a corrosive effect, or Avhen vejmiting and diarrhoea, pale face, cold extremities and loss of consci- ousness are present. Camphor is a specific remedy for the ill effects of poisoning insects, especially canfharides, whe- ther administered internally or externally. Likewise for the effects of so-called wo-rm-medicines, tobacco, bitter almonds, and other fruits containing prussic-acid. It is likeAvise use- ful for the secondary affections remaining after poisoning -with acids, salts, metals, j/hosj/horus, poisonous mushrooms, Ac, after the poisonous substance itself had been removed from the stomach by means of vomiting, Ac. Milk : Less useful than is supposed. To procure an arti- ficial covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous sub- stances are to be preferred. Eat milk (or cream) is suitable POISONING. 367 in all cases where oil is, and hurtful where oil is. Curdled or sour milk is suitable or not suitable in all cases Avhere vinegar is or is not. Olive oil : Less useful than is believed. It is of no use in cases of metallic poisoning, and eAren hurtful in cases of poi- soning Avith Arsenic. It is very bad for the ill effects of Canthar. This remark applies to poisoning with any other insect, or if the poison should have got into one's eye. Oil may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects from the ear in case they should have got into it. Oil is most suitable for poisoning AA'ith corrosive acids, such as: nitric-acid, sul- phuric-acid, iOc. It is sometimes useful in cases of poisoning Avith alkalies, to be administered alternately Avith vinegar, and in cases of poisoning Avith mushrooms. Mucilaginous substances, drinks, or injections of mucila- ginous substances, should be resorted, to in cases of poisoning AA'ith alkalies, especially when administered alternately Avith vinegar. Soap, common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk of hot Avater, and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases of poisoning. It may be drank by the cupful,—a cup- ful every tAvo, three or four minutes, in all cases Avhere the white of an egg is indicated but does not produce sufficient relief. Soap is particularly useful in all cases of poisoning Avith metallic substances, especially Arsenic, lead, cue Like- Avise for poisoning Avith corrosive acids, such as: Sulphuric- acid, nitric-acid, dec, with, alum, corrosive vegetable, sub- stances, castor oil, cue Soap is hurtful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, such as: Bye, nitrate of silver, potash, soda, oleum-tartari,ammonium-muriaticum, (fsahniac) ammonium- carbonicum, caustic or burnt lime, barytes, dec. Sugar, or sugar-water, one of the best remedies in many eases. In case of poisoning Avith mineral acids or alkalies, it is best to resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar is not hurtful. In case of poisoning Avith metallic substances, various kinds of jntint, verdigris, copp>er, sulphate of cojtjx>r, alum, dec, sugar is preferable to every other remedy, and not till the patient has been relieved by the sugar, administer the vjhite of an egg or soap-Avater alternately with sugar. Sugar is likeAvise an excellent antidote in cases of poisoning with arsenic, or corrosive vegetable substances. § 4. Of the other antidotes use: Ammoniacal gas : For alcohol, bitter edmouds,j)russic-acid. Iron-rust: For arsenic. 368 POISONING. Epsom-salts: For alkaline poisons. Charcoal: For foul fsh, foul meat,/toisonous mushrooms, jtoismiing muscles, etc. Kitchen-salt : For nitrate of silver andpoisonous icounds. Magnesia : For acids. SWEET-ALMeiND OIL: For adds. Potash : For acids. Starch: For iodine. Spirits of nitre : For alkaline j)oisons and animal sub- stances. Tea : For adipic-acid and /toisonous honey. Wine: For noxious vapors and /toisonous mushrooms. § 5. The first thing Ave have to do, in treating a case of poisoning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to administer suitable antidotes. If Ave should not be able to ascertain Avhat kind of poison had been SAvalloAved, Ave should first administer the white of an egg; and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee. If Ave should know that the poison is: a) A metallic substance, Ave have to give: first the white of an egg, sugar-water, soap-water, and afterwards, for the remaining ailments: Sulph., Avhich is a real antidote to metals. b) If acids and corrosive substances, give : 1) Soap-water ; 2) Magnesia, dissolved in Avater; 3; Chalk-water; 4) Alka- lies or potash dissoh'ed in Avater, taking a tablespexmful as long as the vomiting continues. Afterwards mucilaginous drinks, and alternately Coff. and Op. as homoeopathic anti- dotes. As regards the remaining ailments, give Puis, for sulphuric- acid ; Bry. for muriatic-acid ; Aeon, for the other acids, anel especially crab-apple vinegar. If the skin should have been corroded by poisons, apply7 soap-Avater, or a Avatery solution of Caust.; and if corrosive substances should have got into the eyes, apply sioeet-almond oil, or fresh unsalt-buf.ter. c) For alkaline substances: 1) Vinegar and water, in large quantities; 2) Bemon-juice, or acids from other fruits, diluted with much Avater; '6) Sour milk; 4) Mucilaginous drinks, or injections. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poison- ing Avith Barytes; but epsoni-salt dissolved in water, renders good service; aftenvards : Camph , or Nitr.-spir. The se- condary effects of poisoning Avith potash, require: Coff., or Carb.-v.; and those of poisoning with spirits of Ammonia, Hep. POISONING. 369 d) For the inhalation of noxious vapors: sprinkle the patient with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapors of a solution of chlore ; aftenvards, after the return of con- sciousness, give black coffee, or a few doses of Op. or Bell. (See: Vapors.) e) For vegetable poisons : 1) Camphor, by olfaction, or sometimes a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2) Black coffee or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable juices. The best antidotes for corrosive vegetable juices, are soap-Avater and milk. f) For animal poisons : See the single poisons, such as : Cantharides, adipic poison, stings of insects, fish poison, poisonous honeg, <£v. For toad poison, or similar poisons, if they should haA'e got into the stomach, give powdered charcoal, stirred up Avith oil or milk ; or let the patient smell of the sw7eet spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in, and aftei-Avard give Ars. If a poison of this kind should have got into the eye, give Aeon. § 6. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poison- ous animals, Tiering proposes the folloAving mode of treat- ment: For the bites of p>oisonous serpents, mad dogs, or other poisonous animals, apply heat at a distance, for Avhich purpose anything may be used AA'hich is handy at the time : a red-hot iron, incandescent piece of coal, or even a burning cigar ; hold this as near as possible Avithout burning the skin. The heat should be kept up uniformly, and should be con- centrated upon the wound exclusively. The edges of the Avound should be covered over Avith oil ox fat, and this should be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. If no oil or fat can be had, use soap, or e\'en saliva. Wipe off carefully every7 thing Avhich is discharged from the Avound. Continue the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, con- tinue to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects of the poison commence to disappear. § 7. At the same time administer internal remedies. In the case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of salt-Avater from time to time, or a pinch of salt or poAvder, or a feAV pieces of garlic. If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a tables] toonful of wine or brandy eA'ery tAAro or three minutes; continue this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every return of a paroxysm. If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be 10* 370 polypi. felt nearer the heart: if the Avound, at the same time, should be bluish, checkered like marble and swollen, Avith vomiting, vertigo and diarrhoea, give Ars. 30, anel another dose in half an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get wense, en- only in three hours, if they should remain unchanged ; if an improvement should set in after the first dose', do not repeat the medicine until the symptoms gi-t Avorse again. If Ars., even if repeated, shoubl have ne> effect, give1 Bell. In some cases Senega may be tried. The chronic seepiehe of the bite of a serpent require: Plu>s.-ac and Mere § 8. If the bite should have been inflicted by a mad dog, apply heat at a distance, as above, and for the remaining treatment, see Hydrophobia. If the bite should proceed from a man or animal Avhich is not mad, but furious, give Ilydrophobin; which is recom- mended by He ring. § 9. Wounds Avhich have become poisonous in conse- quence of decayed animal matter or pus having got into them, require Ars. To guard against unpleasant consequences in ease Ave shoubl have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wounds or ulcers, or men and animals infected Avith contagious dis- eases, Ave should hold our hands for ten or fifteen minutes near as strong a heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash them Avith soap. The use of Chlore in such cases is Avell knoA\7n.

Samuel Blumbe, Schcenlein and others, confound rup/ia and ecthyma; Ilebra applies the name rupia only to syphilitic herpes Avith pyramidal crusts; Bateman, avIio distinguishes R. simplex and R. proeminens, understands by it an eruption very similar to ecthyma with Avhich other authors have either confounded rupia, or aa71io, in its higher forms, have classed it AA7ith the corroding anel spreading ulcers. According to Bateman, the primitive form of rupia is vesicular, never pustulous, as that of ecthyma, though it is very difficult to distinguish these eruptions from each other, Avhen more developed, except perhaps by the fact that the crusts of rupia are broader and less firmly ad- hering than those of ecthyma, llehra^s xnn'xa is the syphilitic form Avith conical scurfs, and is the same as Bateman''s rupia proeminens; whereas Bateman?$ rupia simplex is identical with the so-called phagedenic blister of Hahnemann and a kind of phagedenic ulcers of older Avriters. § 2. Accoreling to these distinctions, Ave jjropose fox ru/na, ox rupia (Schcenlein), one or more ofthe following remedies, or of those Avhich have been indicated for ecthyma. b) For rupia simjlex (Bateman), (the ulcus phageclenicum of some authors, or the bulla phagedenica of Hahnemann: 1) Ars. cham. graph, petr. sil. 2) Borax, calc. clem. hep. natr. nitr.-ac. rhus. sep. squill, staph. c) For the rupia of Ilebra (rupia syphilitica or rupia proeminens of Bateman) Mercurius.

SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS: § 1. The principal remedy is Mere, but we are seldom able to cure a primitive chancre by high dilutions, as they only aggravate the disease, by irritating the nervous system ofthe patient. § 2. The best Avay to cure a primitive chancre in its acute stage, is to give a dose ofthe first or second trituration every day or every other day, till amelioration takes place ; Avithout troubling ourselves much, how the ulcers may look in the first days. After eight or ten days, (or even after tAvo or three days) red tips, being healthy granulations can be per- ceived at the bottom ofthe ulcers, Avhich continue to increase. During the time the ulcer sometimes bleeds and the edo-es become depressed. If no benefit occurs from the use of mere, Cinnabar is an excellent remeely, but should proud lb sh start up from the ulcer, Nitric-acid t>, a few jiellets dissolved in Mater, a tea- spoonful morning and evening is indicated, provided the SYPHILIS AND SYCOSIS. 447 syphilitic character ofthe ulcer, that is, its lardaceous appear- ance has disappeared under the continued use of Merc. Nitr.-ac. is likeAvise excellent for chancres, that had been inaffectually treated with large doses of Merc. It should not be given when the chancres heal of themselves, without Mercury. § 3. Every chancre, which is not treated, or improperly treated with Mercury, becomes chronic after the lapse of from six to eight weeks, losing its lardaceous appearance and raised edges, and exhibiting a red surface with a hard bottom and secreting a thin bad pus. Nitr.-ac. should not be given for such chancres, for it favors the breaking out of general syphilis, the symptoms of Avhich are roseola on the abdomen, and pimples on the forehead and region of the stomach. The principal remedy is Mercurius, which should be con- tinueei, giving one dose every 48 hours, until the chancre and the spots and pimples have disappeared. Should doubtful symptoms develop themselves after the disappearance of the chancre, and should their true nature, Avhether mercurial or syphilitic, not be apparent, give: Aur. carb.-v. lach. nitr.-ac. phos.-ac phytol. thuj. § 4. Give for true hunterian chancre: merc. sob, or merc.-praec.-rub. For the elea7ated: Preee-rub. or cinnab., and if it should spread and get fungous: Nitr. ac. 1. For the serpiginous : Mere-cor. or should this aggravate: Sulph. 15, or nitr.-ac. 1—3. Old chancres, treated for a long time Avith Mercury, re- quire nearly ahvays nitr.-ac Iris, ^Phytolacca, and perhaps Sanguinaria may also be re- commended for the different forms and stages of chancre. 8 5. Secondary chancres in the throat require the same treatment as the chronic chancre (2, 3 doses Merc, of the third trituration, or lye nitr.-ac. phos.-ac. phytol. thuj., should the patient already have taken too much Mercury. Buboes, Avhich, if not primitive, usually only appear Avhen the primitive chancre Avas driven away by caustics, and AArhich appear frequently before the cicatrization of the chancre, do not need any special treatment and commonly disappear Avith the primitive chancre by the use of Merc.
