HOMCEOPATHIC  TREATMENT.
BY
R. W. NELSON, M.D., M.R.C.S.L.
Second Edition.
    CHICAGO:
DUNCAN BROTHERS.
      1882. 
Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1882, by
               DUNCAN BROTHERS,
in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. 
       PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
  It is gratifying to the author that his effort to present assis-
tance in the use of Homoeopathic remedies in the treatment of
diseases has been appreciated.  Beginners who need more help
than is usually afforded by the ordinary works have found that
these gleanings, from the practice of successful physicians us
reported in our literature, to be invaluable guides.
  In the preparation  of this second edition many elementary
and practical hints have been added which it is hoped will in-
crease its value as an assistant at the bedside of the sick.

       PREFACE TO  THE FIRST EDITION.

  For ten years I have been collecting the material of this
work.  In my reading when I came across a particular fact I
noted it  down and tested it at the first opportunity.  My au-
thorities for the symptoms and medicines are contributors to
the leading journals of the day, and the writings of such men
as Hering, Hughes, Hale, Burt, Guernsey, etc.  Having first
tested them in my own practice to my perfect satisfaction, I
can say with truth this book contains reliable gleanings from
practice.
  In cities and other places where sometimes congenial and
reliable counsel can be obtained, such a  work may not be
necessary, but thrown upon our own resources, I  confidently
expect this book will save many a weary  and anxious hour.
How often, when  I have  been bothered with a case, would I
have given anything for just such a work, knowing the medi-
cine, but at the time could not think of  it.   The intention ia
merely to remind  the practitioner of what he wants, and if he
does not then recognize the medicine, let him turn to his refer-
ence works.
  My simple work does not intend to take the place of a Mate-
ria Medica, nor yet a work on Theory and Practice, but simply
to refresh the memory—to be a clinical assistant. To facilitate
reference, the subjects are arranged alphabetically.
  For many years I have felt the necessity of such  a work as I
now present. Hoping that  it will lighten the labors of many
a practitioner and student, is the desire of

INTRODUCTION.
  In presenting this work, I would wish to remove a false im-
pression that some Allopathists make upon the minds of their
patrons; in the first place, by saying that they are treating the
patients Homceopathically by not giving any medicine at all,
thus endeavoring  to convey the  idea that the Homoeopathic
attenuations  contain no medicine simply allowing  nature  to
run  its course; others again  say,  they are  giving Homoeo-
pathic medicines when they give one-half or one-fourth drop
doses of Aconite  and Belladonna  in alternation.   There  is
again  another class of so-called  Homoeopathic  practitioners
who boldly declare that they will treat their patients either
Allopathically or Homceopathically as they wish;  such men are
either  totally devoid of  principle, or else totally ignorant  of
medicine.
  All medicines have  two actions, primary and secondary;
the primary action of drugs is poisonous according to the dose
given, the secondary action is curative according to the dose
given;  for instance, Ipecacuanha is well known to produce
vomiting when  given  in large doses, but if given  in very
minute  doues will stop certain kinds of vomiting; this is even
now recognized  by Allopaths; again ArseLic if  given in one
grain doses, or even applied as a plaster  to external  sores, will
produce pain in the stomach with  burning sensation, and if
continued, ulceration of the stomach and large intestines; if
given in highly attenuated form, it will remove just such symp-
toms; Allopaths ridicule the smallness  of  the dose given  in 
6
INTRODUCTION,
such casee, but they forget that even the one-millionth part of
a grain can be tested in the human system.
  Allopathic treatment is based on the idea of giving certain
medicines in such doses as will antagonize the disease and pro-
duce an opposite one, thus the constitution has  to stand the
fight between the medicine and the disease, and  frequently
between both, the patient  succumbs; Homoeopathy notes the
totology of the symptoms in the disease, and gives that medi-
cine in an attenuated form, (the attenuation always in the
strength  to the  urgency  of the  case,)  which in a perfectly
healthy person would have produced such symptoms.  "Con-
stant dropping wears a stone " and in this case, if the right
remedy is selected, the disease  soon yields to the medicine, and
the constitution is not hurt, and when the disease has left, the
patient has not to get over the poisonous effects of the drug.
Again  a remark that is  frequently made, "Give it  to me
strong, it  takes a great deal of medicine to act upon me," is
quite a mistaken idea, it is not the quantity of the medicine
that overcomes the disease, it  is  the properly selected remedy
that, as it were, antidotes this disease and cures the patient.
  The repetition of  the dose  is also an important point; in
acute diseases, such as  inflammation of the vital organs, in
congestive chills, cholera, etc., it is necessary to repeat the
dose every five, ten or fifteen minutes, according to the urgency
of the case, and  as improvement takes place, prolonging the
distance between the administration of the doses.  In chronic
diseases, one dose of the  proper remedy, one, two,  or three
times a day, is  sufficient,  always remembering to keep the
patient under the influence of the remedy.
  There are certain  remedies, such as Sulphur, Phosphorus,
Arsenicum, Nitrate of Sanguinaria, that will not bear repeat-

ing often;  you must watch the patient and not let him  suffer
from an over dose, or a too quick repetition.
  In prescribing remedies for acute cases, if it is necessary to
give two medicines in  alternation, have two goblets perfectly
clean, into  one drop five to eight drops of one remedy in the
first or second attenuation, and the same of the other remedy
into the other goblet, half fill each  goblet with soft water, stir
each well with a perfectly clean spoon, cover your goblets over
with a saucer, placing the spoon on the goblet from which the
next dose of  medicine is to be taken, and there will never be
any mistake; the dose will be one or two teaspoonf uls  alter-
nately every one, two or three hours.
  Under the  head Poisoned by.—there are some excellent
antidotes *to  such as Arsenicum, Opium poisoning, etc.,  which
are perfectly  reliable and to be depended on.
  It will often be necessary for parties to prepare their own
Dilutions,  Attenuations, and to  medicate Pellets, especially  .
when they are at a distance from any reliable pharmacy;  I will
therefore give some instruction on that.  All first and second
decimal dilutions must be made with diluted alcohol, composed
of alcohol  two parts, distilled water one part, but as it  is not
always available to obtain distilled water, the next best is rain
water filtered through charcoal.  The first decimal dilution is
made by adding ninety drops of dilute alcohol to ten drops of
the pure tincture in a bottle, cork it tightly, leaving plenty of
room for air in the bottle, shake the bottle by Percussion 100
times, simple agitation is not sufficient.  The second  decimal
is  made in the same  manner, using the previous  dilution
instead of the pure tincture.  Other dilutions are made, using
the previous  dilution of the drug, but adding  pure alcohol
instead of dilute. In preparing triturations of powder, have a 
8
INTRODUCTION.
  thoroughly clean, unglazed, wedgewood mortar; sugar of milk
  is the only medium that should be used, of which you take
  ninety parts to ten parts of the drug for the first decimal, and
  so on, as in dilutions, for the several triturations; grind it till
  it is thoroughly mixed and reduced to an impalpable powder.
  Before preparing another trituration, thoroughly wash your
  pestle and mortar and dry it by the aid of heat, you thus keep
  your attenuations exact and your medicines from being mixed.
  In medicating pellets you must be most particular; get a small
  glass tumbler perfectly clean from  dust, fly  specks, etc., put
  your pellets in it, whatever attenuation you want to make use
  the same dilution, drop five  to ten drops on the pellets,  accord-
  ing  to the quantity you are going to  medicate, cover  with a
  glass or common saucer, shake them well in every direction till
  you see the pellets are thoroughly  moistened and the glass
  coated  inside with white moisture,  empty the  pellets into a
. perfectly clean saucer  and cover them over with a clean large
  tumbler to save from dust, flies,  etc.  When  perfectly  dry
  empty into a clean, dry, large mouthed bottle, cork tightly and
  label name and attenuation.
   It is also necessary to understand the abbreviations: x stands
  for decimal: c. for centesimal; m. for thousands; for instance
  lx stands for  the first decimal; 2c stands  for 200; 3m stands
  for three thousand, and so on; § stands for ounce, 3 for drachm,
  3 for scruple, gr. for grain.  Trusting that this work  may be
  useful and profitable to you to save many lives,
          I remain, yours respectfully,
                                         THE  AUTHOR.

        so as not to hurt the feet, between the feet and stock-
        ing  or  shoe, wearing them all  the  time for several
        weeks.   It cures.

  ---A very successful method of treating ague  by Dr. W.
        P. Roberts is during the chill, Veratrum viride 2x, ten
        drops in one-third  of a glass  of water—dose—a tea-
        spoonful every five or ten minutes, while the chill lasts,
        according  to the severity of the case.   During  the
        fever give Aconite in the same  manner.  During  the
        sweating stage give Phosph, acid; when the paroxysm
        is over  give the indicated Homoeopathic remedy once
        in four or six  hours till the chill appears again, then
        repeat  the above treatment for the chill, fever and
        sweat.  The patient rarely has the third chill, nor does
        it return in seven, fourteen or twenty-one days.  The
        patient is cured.

       re-action or dangerous consequences.
 Aneurism.—Internal aneurism has been cured by Dr. Flint, of

Bowels.—Bloating in the bowels in young girls, subject to

Bowels, Obstruction of.—1.  When a child suddenly shows
       the symptoms of intestinal occlusion, it  is not probable
       that it suffers from invagination or peritonitis.  2. In
       a senile person the diagnosis would be obstruction from
       faecal masses or carcinoma.  3. During  the middle age
       the causes of occlusion are manifold, but invagination
       and carcinoma are rare.  4. Invagination reveals itself
       by difficult defecation,  by the presence of  blood  and
       mucus in the discharges, by the incomplete constipation
       and by the presence of a half-soft tumor, which can be
       felt by palpation  of the abdominal walls or by rectal
       examination.  5. During invagination the abdoipinal
       wall is usually relaxed, and there is only slight meteor-
       ismus, the invaginated part may be detected with the
       aid of anaesthesia. 6. A  carcinomatous affection may
       be supposed where an old person has shown for some
       time abdominal disturbances or periods of transient
       constipation.   7. When the patient between the attacks
       of  obstruction enjoys good health for a long time, we
       may suppose the presence of an abnormal diverticle, or
       of  a cord, formed by old adhesions, or of a piece of
       intestine extended in the form of a pocket or a volvulus.
       8. When from the beginning of an occlusion the abdo-
       men becomes hard and distended, it is  nearly certain
       that we have  to deal with a peritonitis.  9.  Where we
       see the movements of the intestines through the abdo-
       minal walls, we may be nearly certain that there is no
       peritonitis.   This  symptom is especially observed in
       lean individuals, who have an occlusion in  the colon.
       10. The  tendency  to vomiting stands in proportional
       relation to  the closeness of the seat of  obstruction in
       the stomach, to the narrowness of the obstructed spot
       and to the  quantity of  nourishment and drugs given 
22
DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
       per os.  11. Vomiting is absent where the obstruction
       has its seat in colon or rectum.  12. Severe inclination
       to vomit and bilious vomiting are worse in hepatic and
       nephritic colic than in intestinal occlusion.  13. Vomit-
       ing of faecal  masses are only observed in those cases,
       where the seat of the occlusion is not seated too deeply;
       where it appears early, it is an  unfavorable symptom,
       showing a high-graded occlusion. 14. The introduction
       of the hand in the rectum according to the method of
       Simon is often valuable.

DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
Children's food.—The common practice of feeding little
       children with meat, tea and coffee, and all varieties of
       food eaten by adults, induces diseases of the eye as well
       as of other parts of the  delicate body.  Dr. Learning,
       who has for several years had charge of an asylum in
       which large numbers  of  children are  cared for, does
       not allow one of them to have anything but milk until
       they are seven years  old. Physicians should  use all
       their influence to have children reaied on milk alone,
       withholding meat, cake  and puddings, tea and coffee.
       Milk and  farinaceous food until the child has teeth
       with which to  prepare other articles of food for the
       stomach, is the rule in ordinary cases.   Many a person
       who reads this will wonder that such advice should be
       necessary, but  the proportion of mothers  who under-
       stand  the relation of food to  health and development
       is very small.  This is not to be wondered at, as no
       provision is made in our school system for teaching our
       boys and  girls, unless they enter the high school, the
       knowledge which  is  most important  to  their future
       welfare.   Whatever their rank in the various branches
       taught, if they are ignorant of the condition of health,
       they are not properly educated. To say that they should
       learn these important truths in their  homes does not
       meet the difficulty.  The mothers are usually as ignor-
       ant as the children. One has but to notice the food of
       little children to be convinced of this.

DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
Cough.—Attended  with great accumulation of frothy, viscid
       mucus ; asthmatic and subject to gastric catarrh, great
       tenderness in the epigastrium, sore spot in the throat.
       Nitrate sanguinaria fix.
  ----To diagnose a tubercular cough in the dry stage, the foL
       lowing indications will be useful:  1. The early cough
       is always dry, or nearly so, morning or evening, day or
       night, the sputa usually being swallowed, or, if expec-
       torated at all, it is white and adhesive with a little foam.
       2.  The cough is chronic, i.  e., it has  already  lasted
       from  two to four months.  3.  A shortness  of breath
       has been noticed for some time, on fast walking or run-
       ning, or ascending stairs rapidly.  4.  There is progres-
       sive loss of weight and  strength.  5.  There are per-
       manent or positive pains in the chest, mostly fugitive,
       and often between the shoulder blades.  6.  There is
       frequency of pulse, the normal taken at 70. 7. Increase
       of temperature, normal 98i degrees.  Now  add to this
       catalogue of pneumonia any one of the following con-
       ditions, and the proof is complete that the cough in
       question is tubercular.  If you have them all,  the testi-
       mony is overwhelming.  Hemoptysis, soreness or dull-
       ness on percussion at or near the apex of either lung, or
       absence of the respiratory murmur in the same  region,
       dyspepsia, or an occasional attack of diarrhoea, hectic
       fever, hereditary toxaemia, or night sweats, or a dimin-
       ution of the air capacity of the lungs amounting to 16
       per cent, per spirometer measurement. All these symp-
       toms,  or a portion of them,  may and do  appear in the
       first stage of consumption, when cough is yet predom-
       inently dry, the patient  abroad and  attending  to his
       affairs, and applies only to have his cough cured, and
       always expects to be cured, and this is the time to cure
       him.

Death.—Fear of death with great loquacity. Aconite lx.
  ---Of a patient, apparently very far  from death,  can be
       foreseen by an extraordinary opening of the eyelids, so
       as to give the  eye an appearance of protruding from
       the orbits;  this  is invariably a sign that death will
       occur in twenty-four hours; where only one eye is wide
       open and  the  other remains  normal,  death will  not
       follow quite so rapidly, perhaps in a week or so.  Fix

DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
Dentition.—Difficult  with children, producing sour, putrid
       diarrhoea.  Calcarea carb. 6x.
  ---Gums swelled and painful.   Rub the gums with crystals
       of Kali chloricum.

  ---Slow, with swelling  of the glands and large distended
       abdomen.  Magnesia mur. 6x.
  ---Stools sour, green, with flatulence.  Podophyllum 3x.
Despair.—Hopeless of everything, with fear of death.  Calca-
       rea carb.  2x.
Diabetes.—Test for Diabetic Urine.  Add to the  urine
       in a large test tube a few drops of a solution of copper,
       a very inconsiderable  troubling will result, probably
       from the deposition of a little  phosphate of  copper.
       Sufficient Liquor  Potassae should then  be added  to
       render the whole strongly alkaline; a greenish precipi-
       tate, the Hydrated oxyde of copper  falls, which if
       sugar  be present,  wholly or partly re-dissolves  in an
       excess of the Solution of  Potassa, forming a blue
       liquid not unlike the blue ammoniuret of copper.  On
       gently heating the mixture  nearly to ebullition, the
       copper falls in a state of suboxide, forming a red and
        copious  precipitate if sugar is present; otherwise the
        copper is deposited in the form of black oxide.
  ---The growth of Torula is another test; and the develop-
       ment of fermentation, when the  urine is allowed to
       stand for some time, may be taken as an affirmative of
       the presence of sugar.
 Diabetes Mellitus.—Phosphoric ac.  10, six globules three
        times a day,  suspending the medicine occasionally.
  ---Highly recommended.  Uranium nit. 6x , a powder three
        times a day.

Difference.—Between Croup and Diphtheria.

           Croup.                    Diphtheria.
1.  Ushered in by a cough.
2.  Most frequent in great hu-
      midity and east wind.
3.  Is not contagious.
4.  Comes on suddenly.
5.  Known by croaking sound.

6-  Must  be   promptly  re-
      lieved.
7.  Does not affect the system.
8.  Occurs  most frequently in
      childhood.
9.  Apt to occur often in the
      same case.
Ushered in by a chill.
Does  not depend on changes
    in the weather.
Most decidedly is.
May be tardy.
Known by patches of  mem-
    brane on the throat.
Is tardy in its resolution.

Is very prostrating.
Occurs at all ages.

May occur more than once.
Diphtheria.—Pseudo-membranous.  Kali bich. 3x.
  ---Exceedingly reliable.  Mercurius cyan. 12.
  ---Pseudo-membrane assumes a dirty grayish color.  Apis
       mel. 3x.
  ---With either of the Iodides use freely every hour pellets
       saturated with Phytolacca tincture. 
50
DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
Diphtheria.—False membrane, thick gray or slightly yellow,
       or else dark.  Throat worse at one time  on right, at
       another on left side, inflammation and swelling shift-
       ing from side to side, constant salivation, great sensi-
       tiveness  of the throat to external pressure.  Pricking
       and cutting pains, when swallowing, shooting up to
       the ears.  Mercurius protoiod 5x, a powder  every  one
       or two hours.
  ---Fauces covered with diphtheritic membrane; pulse quick
       and small; extremities mottled and livid ; swallowing
       almost impossible.   Lachesis 6x a powder  every  two
       hours.
  ——To remove the offensive odor of the breath, spray the
       throat with a solution of Kali permang. lx, and insert
       hypodermically in the proportion of equal parts of
       water and Kali permang. lx.
  ---The back of the tongue buff yellow, tip and edges clear
       and red, coppery smell of  the breath, must swallow
       from a constant sensation of a lump in the throat,  sali-
       vary and cervical glands engorged, painful hawking of
       stringy mucus, foetid discharge from mouth and  nos-
       trils. Mercurius protoiod. lx.
  ---Patches mostly on  left tonsil, sometimes livid and  pur-
       plish, hawking up mucus white and tough.  Mercurius
       biniod. 2x or 3x.
 Diphtheria.—Treatment by Bromine :  Bromine water, 1-100
        is simply distilled water, containing one hundreth part
        of its weight of pure bromine.  It is transparent, of an
        orange color, with a  penetrating odor which resembles
        that of  Chlorine, and with an acrid taste sui generis,
        which,  when the Bromine water is attenuated  with
        sweetened water, is  somewhat similar to the taste of
        walnut  shells.   With rare exceptions, children,  even
        the most stubborn, swallow it without repugnance,
        and in  only  one case have I  even seen it  produce
        nausea.   It should be prepared in bottles of dark glass,
        and kept in a dark place, as, under the  influence of 
AND THEIR HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT.      51
Diphtheria.—light, it becomes quickly altered, the Bromine
       being transformed to hydro-bromic acid, at the expense
       of the hydrogen in the water.  Nothing is more simple
       than the treatment of diphtheria and croup by Bromine
       water; but still, to prevent exposing one's self  to dis-
       appointments, it  is  necessary  to conform,  point by
       point, to the following rules:  1. Have always in read-
       iness a glass of sugared water, very  sweet.  2.  Every
       hour in diphtheria, every quarter of  an hour  in croup,
       give the patient one. two, or even three drops of Bro-
       mine  water in a  teaspoonful of sweetened  water.  3.
       At the end of several hours reduce  the doses and ex-
       tend the time between  them ; never, however,  letting
       an interval of more than  two hours elapse without
       administering the remedy.  4.  Either  a glass spoon
       or a wine-glass should be used in the administration
       ■of the medicine, as Bromine attacks silver and forms
       with  it a bromide  which  largely  reduces  the  dose
       absorbed.  5.  Place the patient, no matter  what the
       age may be, on a low diet, at least during the first day.
       6.  A gargle of water, vinegar, and salt, (a table spoon-
       ful of vinegar, and as much salt to a  glass of water) has
       never seemed to me to injure the action of the remedy,
       and in  diphtheria of the pharynx  helps to clear the
       throat by  detaching  the false membrane. This, how-
       ever, can  only be used with  adults. 7. Lastly,  take
       care to keep in the invalid's room, and this as a prophy-
       lactic for the sake of the persons who enter it, a saucer
       containing a spoonful of Bromine water, which should
       be renewed at least twice in every twenty-four hours.
       The curative action of  the Bromine, if not  interfered
       with by any infraction  of the above rules, invariably
       manifests itself in a  very short time. The  first three
       or four doses usually suffice to lower the frequency of
       the pulse in a surprising, and sometimes enormous pro-
       portion ; for example,  from 140 to  80.   At  the same
       time the pains in  the lumbar region, which accompany
       the fever of diphtheria, and are often so very fatiguing 
52
DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
       are relieved.  The local symptoms amend more slowly;
       though it is not rare to observe, in croup, an almost
       instantaneous diminution  and  modification of  the
       cough, which becomes, hour by hour, less hoarse,  less
       stridulous, and less frequent.  However, it is only after
       twelve or eighteen hours of treatment that  the false
       membranes begin to fade away, that is, to grow brown
       and detach themselves.  But,  to sum up, with the ex-
       ception of  cases not particularly common,  where an
       abscess of the tonsil complicates  the malady  and aug-
       ments its duration, it is very rare that a complete reso-
       lution has not taken place by the end of three days.
Diplopia.—Double vision, objects look red; sparks of fire be-
       fore the eyes.  Belladonna 30.
  ---With dimness  of vision, dilatation  of the pupils,  and
       vertigo.  Qelsemium 2x.
Disappointment.—Chronic consequences of grief, chagrin,
       care, anxiety, and disappointed love.  Phosphoric  acid
       20.
  ---In affection, silent grief. Ignatia amara. lx.
Discharges.—From mucus surfaces with fetid odor,  and a
       sanious excoriating character. • Baptisia lx.
Disinfectant.—Chloride of Lead is said to be the most power-
       ful, safe, and economical deodorizer and disinfectant
       known.  It has been tried in an institution where there
       are 300 boys, and the superintendent reports  that  it
       gave  more satisfaction in the dormitories and water-
       closets than any other he had used. To  prepare it for
       use, on a small scale for ordinary  purposes,  take  half
       a drachm of the Nitrate of Lead,  dissolve it in one  pint
       of hot water; dissolve two  drachms of common  salt  in
       two gallons of water, mix  the two solutions, and this
       forms a solution of Chloride of Lead.  A cloth wet  with
       this, and hung up in a room filled with fetid atmos-
       phere, will sweeten it instantly.  The solutions thrown
       into a water-closet, sink or drain will produce the same
       effect. 
         AND THEIR HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT.      53

Disinfectant.—Peroxide  of  Manganese,  Permanganate  of
       Potassium.  Oxalic acid, equal parts; when this mix-
       ture is placed in contact  with  the water,  Ozone is
       quickly generated. For a medium sized room, two
       spoonfuls of this powder placed on a dish and occasion-
       ally diluted with water should be sufficient. The Ozone
       develops itself, and disinfects the surrounding air with-
       out producing cough.
Distinguish.—How  to  distinguish the sulphates of Quinia,
       Morphia, and Strychnia one from another.  Quinia.
       Before taking supposed Quinia in the shape of powder,
       throw a little into water;  if it dissolves readily, mis-
       trust it, but if it settles down to the bottom of the glass
       comparatively insoluble, it is more likely to be Quinia
       than  Morphia. Morphia.  According  to Wartz, fifty
       parts of the  Sulphate of Morphia are soluble  in one
       hundred parts of cold water, whereas  less  than two-
       tenths of one part of ordinary Sulphate of  Quinia is solu-
       ble in the same  amount.  Strychnia.  Sulphate  of
       Strychnia is less soluble than Morphia, but more soluble
       (two parts to 100 of water) than Quinia.
Dislocation of the humerus.—The  arm being abducted
       and extended with slight force  by an assistant, grasp
       the scapula with the  right hand over  the acromion,
       and depress it in such a manner as to make the lower
       edge of the glenoid cavity slide over the rounded head
       of the humerus, with the fingers of the left-hand exert
       gentle pressure upwards on  the shaft of the humerus,
       just below the head.
Distress.—Of mind, when msnses begin to flow.  Stannum 6x.
Dreams, Lasciyious.—With seminal emissions followed by
       weakness and a  feeling of  irritability and debility.
       Lilium tig. 10.  Also Graphites 200.
Dropsy.—After scarlet fever, urine scanty and dark colored,
       great soreness of the abdominal walls  with stinging,
       burning pains.  Apis mel. 4x.

 Fever  Patients.— How  to  feed  fever patients.—
        Rules.—Give no  solid food to a fever patient.   Let
        the food be simple, but nutritious.  Give food at frequent
        intervals  and in small quantities.  Let a fever patient
        have all the cold water he  wants  to drink. Remember
        also that those fever patients who have been judiciously
        nourished will make  the  best recoveries.  Solid food
        given during convalescence will  often cause a relapse.
        If the patient be properly nourished from the outset,
        there will be little need of alcoholic stimulants.  If the
        patient's  mouth  be foul, the  lips, teeth  and tongue
        covered with "sordes," before  giving food cleanse the
        mouth with cold-water containing a little lemon-juice,
        using  a swab or  the corner of a napkin.   When a
        patient is weak and lying on his back, it is exceedingly 
  AND THEIR HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT.      67

tiresome for him to take food or drink a spoonful at a
time; even this slight effort wearies him.   At such a
time none but liquid food should be given, and this
through a  bent  glass  tube.  Food for fever  patients
should be fluid in form,  easy of digestion,  and highly
nutritious.
  Beef-tka.—This much abused article will find  its
chief use in those  weak  conditions, in  which the pa-
tient needs stimulating.  There  is not much nourish-
ment in it, but it seems to have a remarkable power of
sustaining life out of all proportion to the amount of
solid matter which  it contains.  If a patient  has a
continued fever, and it is known that beef-tea will be
wanted from  day to day, too much pains cannot be
taken in its preparation. It is well to observe the fol-
lowing  rules:  1. Never let  beef-tea boil.  2. The
finer the beef is cut the better.  3. Always begin with
cold water.  4. Beef-tea  that " jellies" when  cold has
not been properly male.  5. There should be no fat,
gristle or bones adhering to the meat.  6.  The proper
portion of beef and water are a pound to a  pint.   7.
After being made, carefully remove from  the surface
all traces  of  fat.   To "warm up" beef-tea, put it in a
cup and set the cup in a vessel of boiling water.
  Typhoid  fever.—This fever is generally protracted
and exhausting, and the diet needs careful attention,
and especially when convalescence approaches and the
appetite returns.   Relapses are  often  brought  on by
■some error in diet or over-indulgence.  No solid food
should be taken until health is fully restored.  It must
be remembered that the lining membrane of the intes-
tines has been ulcerated, and for some time after the
patient is up it is in a very sensitive state, and extreme
care must be observed  lest the inflammation  be again
aroused.  So simple a thing as eating too much boiled
rice has brought on a fatal  relapse.  A diet consisting
exclusively of milk may  be  depended upon  in this
fever. 
68
DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
         Typhus  fever.—In this fever there is great and
       rapid  destruction of tissue, and it  is highly important
       that this loss  should  be  met from the first by  very
       nutritious food given regularly and persistently.  If the
       prostration  is  great give beef-tea and egg-nog.   If
       swallowing  becomes impossible life may still be sup-
       ported by nutriment enemata.

Fracture,  Compound.—Dr. L. Maj.on,  of Brooklyn, states
       the " advantages possessed by bran properly mixed
       with Carbolic acid as a dressing in compound fractures
       are these:  1st. The discharge is disinfected  as it flows
       into the bran. 2d.  We have a dressing that is ' germ
       proof and  one that  notably limits suppuration.  3d.
       We secure anaesthetic properties of  the acid.  The
       method of carbolizing the bran is very easy;  add crude
       Carbolic acid to the quantity of bran required, stirring
       it  at the same  time. An excess should be avoided.

  ---For the expulsion of gall-stones.  Podophyllum lx, and

  ---A very successful remedy for the removal of gall-stones,
       is to take Olive oil, four ounces, and twelve hours after-
       wards, take  a full dose of Castor oil; to  complete the
       cure, follow the expulsion of the gall-stones with the
       proper Homoeopathic treatment.
  ---Another: Sweet  olive oil,  six to eight ounces.   First
       empty the stomach  by emetic or  by fasting (the latter
       way is  preferable).  Twenty or thirty minutes after
       swallowing the oil, which will give time for it to pass
       into the duodenum, recline upon the left side, with the
       hips elevated higher than the shoulders.  The oil will
       find its way  down the ductus communis and  reach the
       enemy in their castle—to wit, the gall-bladder. Every
       calculus will be lubricated and slide out  of the fount
       and through the intestines.  Now, to  be certain the
       desired  result has  been obtained, let the stools  be
       dejected into a vessel half-full of water, and the little
       green globes will be found floating  on  the water.  No
       cathartic  will be necessary.  Nothing more need be
       done.

       consistency of a paste.   By taking account of the time
       that the paste occupies in hardening, the quality of the
       milk may be determined.  If the milk has a specific
       gravity of 1,030 at 60° F.,  the mass will be congealed
       in ten hours;  if mixed with 25 p. c. of water, in two
       hours ;  with 50 p. c. of water, in H hours ; with 76 p. c.

Opium Cure.—Dr. M. Gibson of Felicity, O., has made a dis-
       covery in the " Opium Cure " line that  is worthy of
       consideration.  The ingenious mediciner puts Opium
       and Gamboge  together, making them  into pills,  and
       administers the compound ad nauseom.   Let there be
       three times  as  much  gamboge as opium, and take as
       much of the opiate as has been the usual custom.  Soon
       the sufferer becomes disgusted with the gamboge, and
       less and less desirous of continuing the opium.   The
       cure is gradual and satisfactory, and no hankering for
       the narcotic  is felt.

Phthisis.—Signs by which phthisis is recognized in its earliest
       stages without the aid  of  physical examination of
       chest:
     1.  Retraction of the skin over the cheeks.
     2.  Cerulean hue of the sclerotic, due to anaemia of the
       conjunctiva.
     3.  Atrophy of the lips, of the ears, and a thin, pinched
       appearance of the nose.  Wherever  the  skin closely
       covers the cartilages, as  in the ears and nose, a show-
       ing through as it were, of the cartilaginous framework
       is one of the earliest signs of loss of flesh.
     4.  Pallor of the cheeks and face as compared with each
       other and with the malar surfaces.
     5.  Dilatation of the nostrils on  the affected side.  This
       is the case in all pulmonary affections, but especially
       in the early stages of phthisis.
     6.  The respiration is invariably accelerated and the dis-
       turbance affects expiration as well as inspiration.  In
       certain  nervous disturbances the respiration is accele-
       rated, but it is the inspiration only which is at fault.
     7.  Sinking of the clavicle more on the affected side than
       on the opposite, giving the appearance of having a very
       long neck.
     8.  Great hyperemia of the pillars of the fauces, present
       long before the pulmonary disease manifests itself, and
       continuing until pus is expectorated.  When purulent
       expectoration is established, decomposed  pus irritates
       the throat, and then the other parts  usually become
       hyperaemic.
     9.  Intense congestion of the throat; early hoarseness, and
       vomiting are unfavorable symptoms, and indicate en- 
         AND  THEIR HOMCEOPATHIC TREATMENT.     Ill)

       largement of the bronchial glands.  This vomiting is
       produced by pressure upon the pneumogastric by the
       enlarged glands.  A large proportion of phthisic cases
       will tell of having had sore throat for a number of years
       previous to the development of any chest symptoms.

Phthisis.—Rules for sending consumptives to travel.  The fol-
       lowing rules are those laid down by Dr. James Edward
       Pollock in a recent lecture:
     1.  Never permit any person to travel who is not in the
       quiescent stage of the disease, or who, in  other words,
       is feverish, with high evening temperature,  and the
       physical signs and conditions already described to you,
       indicating the continuous form of phthisR  Observe
       this rule, and you will be successful, break it, and  your
       patient and his friends will not thank you.
     2.  None of  the secondary complications should  be pres-
       ent ; as, continuous or frequent diarrhoea, serious gas-
       tric disorder, or laryngeal irritation.
     3.  Chronic single cavity, with retraction of walls, accom-
       plished or  proceeding, is  favorable for removal to a
       dry, bracing locality, if the hsemophysical element is
       wanting in the case.
     4.  That form of disease described as diffused deposit in
       one lung, without much dullness  or signs of  massing
       of disease, with pretty large chest, and with more mod-
       erate emaciation, generally does well on a sea voyage.
     5.  A first-stage case, already chronic, does best for trav-
       eling about, with frequent changes of residence.  The
       complication with  bronchitis or  asthma  is generally
       much benefitted by change.
     6.  Persons ought not to travel at all with feverish symp-
       toms, with  secondary  complications,  with  a  large
       amount of local disease in any stage;  with both lungs
       diseased, with poor digestion and greatly lowered nu-
       trition ;  or in such a state of weakness or emaciation
       as to require home comforts, peculiar beds or chairs,
       or varieties of invalid cookery.

DISEASES AND SYMPTOMS
Phthisis.—The diagnosis of incipient phthisis is greatly aided
       by an examination of the larynx, the mueous membrane
       covering of which, and also that covering the pharynx,
       is of an ashy-gray color.  The arytenoid cartilages be-
       come swollen  and pear-shaped.  These tumefactions
       are not oedematous.  The  loose,  submucous tissue  is
       largely infiltrated with a small-celled infiltration, with
       tendency to the formation of deposits with cheesy cen-
       tres.  Treatment with inhalations, so as to distend the
       air-cells, and remove the large swollen epithelial cells,
       which  are  in  various stages of  fatty  degeneration,
       promise well.   The yellow, viscid sputum soon becomes
       white and frothy.
  ----The therapeutic employment of Ammonia by inhalation
       in phthisis, chronic  bronchitis, and after an attack of
       acute bronchitis has been found very beneficial.   For
       that purpose wear outside  the shirt a bag containing
       some pieces of Carbonate of Ammonia; relief will soon
       set in.  It relieves that obstinate cough due to chronic
       bronchitis.

DISEASES AND  SYMPTOMS
Tapeworm.—How to give Kameela or Kousso for tape worm :
       Kameela is given without previous preparation of the
       patient, in the dose of from one to three drachms, sus-
       pended in water, mucilage or syrup.  In the latter dose
       it  sometimes acts violently.   The  worm  is  usually
       expelled dead at the third or fourth stool.  If the first
       dose fails to operate the bowels, it may  be repeated in
       four hours, or followed  by  a dose of castor oil.  Dr.
       Anderson,  British Army Surgeon in  India, has em-
       ployed the medicine successfully in the form of tinc-
       ture, of which  the  dose is from  one  to four fluid-
       drachms.  The Kousso is taken in the morning upon an
       empty  stomach, a light meal having  been made the
       preceding  evening. A  previous evacuation  of the
       bowels is also recommended. The flowers are given in
       the form of powder mixed  with half a pint of warm
       water; the mixture being allowed to stand  for fifteen
       minutes, then stirred up, and  taken in two or three
       draughts, at short intervals.  The medicine may  be
       preceded and  followed  by lemonade.  The  medium
       dose for an adult is half an ounce, which may be di-
       minished one-third for a child of twelve years, one half
       for one of six, and two-thirds for one of  three.   Should
       the medicine not act  on the bowels in three or four
       hours, a brisk cathartic should be administered.  One
       dose is said to be sufficient  to destroy the worm.
       Should the quantity mentioned not prove effectual, it
       may be increased to an ounce or more.

       decoction of pomegranate root, the patient having pre-
       viously fasted twenty-four hours.  The worm is stupe-
       fied and will be  passed whole,  head  and all.  Punica

Toe-nail  Ingrowing.—Dr.  Andrews gives the following
       operation, as that of a chiropodist, named Williams:
       He neither extracts the nail nor slices off the  overlap-
       ping flesh, but cuts out a narrow ellipse of tissue near
       the nail and parallel to its border, claiming  that the
       border itself, where it rests against the edge of the nail,
       has its  special structure adapted to its location, and
     •  ought not to be sacrificed.  The removal of the strip of
       flesh being accomplished, he brings the edges  of the
       wound  together  with  fine sutures, thus drawing the
       border away from the nail and effecting a cure.

       brought  up and  tied over the top of the tumor.  In
       large tumors, another thread, at right angles, is used.
       No reaction.   In a few days a thin fluid  begins to flow
       from b^th orifices; then a thicker fluid, and the tumor
       begins to diminish.  After the sides of the growth have
       fallen  in,  the thread may be removed.   Cystic,  solid,

Urine, Retention of.—After child birth.  After a lingering
       labor, with  great  nervousness, almost  amounting to
       hysteria accompanied with clonic spasms.  Bromide of
       Potassium, twenty  grains at once in some water, repeat
       if necessary in six hours; afterwards five grains to be
       given four times a day.
  -^—Retention of urine in women after childbirth ought to be
       relieved with an elastic olivary catheter, the interior
       of which was completely filled by a bougie.  For the
       want of this precaution, the catheter often becomes
       plugged with mucus, and cystitis is set up  by the
       nurse's ineffectual attempt to withdraw the urine.
  ■—In children is  always caused by a stone, unless there is
       some mechanical obstruction to the escape of the urine,
       such as a contracted meatus or tight foreskin.
  ---Retention of urine may be caused by the sphincter at the
       neck of the bladder  grasping tightly the  calculus, so
       that  no urine can escape, and incontinence of urine,
       whether diurnal or nocturnal  may be caused by a calcu-
       lus impacted half an inch further forward in the deeper
       portions of the urethra, acting as a gag and preventing
       the sphincter from closing, so that the water dribbles
       away along side the calculus.
  ----Incontinence of; in boys may  be caused  by a congeni-
       tally  contracted meatus preventing a free escape of
       urine and causing  dribbling.
  .---Dribbling of urine in  men means retention, not incon-
       tinence.  In consequence of  an enlarged  prostate or
       stricture some urine  always  remains behind after an
       act of micturition, which gradually accumulates, the
       over distended  bladder not being able  to contract on
       its contents, the action of the sphincter  being still per-
       fect; at last the sphincter becomes weakened by the
       great pressure and dribbling follows.

A Hand-Book on the  Diseases of the Heart, and  their
   Homoeopathic Treatment.  By W. P. Armstrong, M. D.,
   formerly Lecturer on Diseases of the Heart; Member of
   the American Institute of Homoeopathy, etc.  One volume,
   240 pages.  Cloth bound, $1.50.
  The heart is one of the vital organs.  It is the great hydraulic
engine of the body.  When it fails all the machinery stops.  A
knowlege of its disorders, and the ability to cure its curable
diseases should be possessed by every physician.  To be able to
diagnosticate correctly every case of heart disease or supposed
heart disease,  is what this work teaches.  It is written in a
plain, practical manner, and is especially clear just where help
is needed.

  This is a work  that should be in the possession of every

Not only do we learn how to perform the operation skilfully but the mor-

A Treatise on the Decline  of Manhood. By A.  E. Small,
    M. D., President of Hahnemann  Medical College.  In one

  Sexual Neurosis would have been a good title for this book,
for it deals with innervating  troubles, such as spermatorrhcea
and masturbation in both sexes, and  sexual weaknesses ; but
the author has chosen the caption used by ihe quack to frighten
and bleed his victims.  This  little book gives to the profes-
sion and  the  poor sufferers  some practical suggestions and
advice.  It is essentially a treatise on the  various causes that
induce the premature decline of manhood and  the most judi-

   This work is adopted as a text-book on Minor Surgery in the

  It is written in a plain unassuming style, ao that he who reads may

  Dr. Gilchrist 6eems  to possess a rare union of surgical dexterity and
 medical skill, and hence we have all the greater pleasure in commending
 this excellent work as a sound Minor Surgery.—Homoeopathic World.
  The present volume is a very excellent work, and leaves out many top-

 practical. Dr. Gilchrist is a very pleasant writer, and has a knack of
 putting thngs very neatly.—New Erg. Med. Gazette.
  This work is intended as an aid to students and as a complete and con-
 venient resource to the busy practitioner who has but occasional need for

The Nurse,  or Hints on the Care of the Sick.   By  C. T.
    Harris, M. D.   This work should be understood  by  every
    beginner in practice as well  as by every nurse.   Price, 65
    cents.
  If every physician would insist upon  the nurse in his employment mak-
ing herself thoroughly acquainted with  this little book, it would be a
help.—Organon.
  "It will not hurt a physician even to glance over the pages devoted to
mothers and nurses, and this little treatise ought to become one  of the

  Such a work is very muc' oeeded.  it is simply and early written,  giving
hints on all the points, which a nurse ought to know.  We cordially reco-

find it a valuable vade mecum.—Monthly Homoeopathic Rev., London.

The Ophthalmoscope;  Its Theory and Practical Uses.  By
    C.  H. Vilas, M. A.,  M. D., Professor of Diseases of the
    Eye  and Ear  in the  Hahnemann Medical  College, and
    Clinical Professor of Eye and Ear  Diseases in the Hahne-
    mann Hospital. Just issued.  Cloth, $1.00.
  This practical treatise fills a most important field.
  We take pleasure in commending this manual on the Principles and
Practice of Ophthalmoscopy. The work is a very good one, and will be a
great aid to the beginner in studying the subject.—Physicians' and  Surge-
ons' Investigator.
  The treatise now before us is calculated to do just what it indicates; it
tells us what the Ophthalmoscope is, how to use it, and what use to make
of it.  It is a most interesting work, written by one who is master of the
subject under  discussion, and who has the ability to make himself well
understood; the volume is profusely illustrated, printed on good  paper,
and should have rapid sale. We can heartily recommend it—Med. Counselor.

How to See with the Microscope.   By J. Edwards Smith, M.
    D., Professor of Histology and Microscopy.  In one elegant
    volume of 410 pages.   Cloth, $2.00.

  This work is an invaluable one, and is up to date on this
    most important department.
  The hints he gives are really useful —more than that, they are highly
instructive.  Every word proves the great experience of the wri er, and
the pleasant agreeable style of his language makes the book a fascinat-
ing lecture.  And that is just a point which deserves great praise, for we
acknowledge never to have read a book so  full  of teaching, written in
such an amiable style, such as this one; certainly not in the line of  books
on microscopy.—North American Journal of Homoeopathy.

An Illustrated Repertory of Pains in Chest, Sides and Back;
    their direction and character confirmed by clinical cases,
    By R. R. Gregg, M. D.  In one octavo volume. Third edi-
    tion.  Cloth, $1.00.

  Gregg's "Illustrated Repertory" is an old and valued friend, and in many
a disputed case the arrow's point divided our choice of the remedy.—N. A.
Journal of Horn.
  The idea of helping our sadly overladen  memories with the aid of picto-
rial symptomatology is very laudable  ....  This book teaches us one
very useful lesson, which our careful author has evidently learned well,
viz., the very great importance of noting the directions of pains.—Homoeo-

A Treatise on Typhoid Fever and its Homoeopathic Treat-
    ment.   By M. Panelli, M. D.   Translated by G. E. Ship-

    symptomatic  indications for remedies  by C. Heririg, M.
    D.  One volume of 300 pages.  Cloth bound.  $2.00.

  Typhoid fever is  an insiduous and  treacherous disease, and
even the oldest and most experienced physician is often  glad
of  practical suggestions  as to varieties,  complications  and
management.   This work, including the observations of both
European and American writers, is at once  a most systematic
and practical treatise, and without a peer in medical literature.


Spectacles, and How to Choose Them.   By C. H. Vilas,
    M. D., Professor of Diseases of the Eye and  Ear, Hahne-
    mann Medical College. One neat illustrated volume.  172
    pages.  Bound  in Cloth, $1.00.

  It tells  everything which an intelligent layman or even an ordinary
practitioner need know about the anomalies of vision and their correction.
It would, we should think, be  especially  valuable to opticians in towns
where no oculist is resident; and if we know of  any such, wo could hardly
do them a greater service than by bringing it to their knowledge.—British
Journal of Homoeopathy.
  A very interesting and instructive book, not only for the general practi-
tioner, for whom it is especially designed, but also for laymen, technical-
ties and obscure terms being avoided.  Its aim  is to prevent the too
common haphazard and often i-.jurious custom of choosing one's own
spectacles, or trusting to unprincipled or ignorant venders.  Tho dollar
for it will be well spent.—N&j) England Medical Gazette.

Text-Book of Materia Medica.  Characteristic, analytical and
    comparative.   By A. C. Cowperthwaite, M. D., Ph. D., Pro-
    fessor of Materia  Medica and Diseases of Women in the
    Homoeopathic Department of the State University of Iowa.
    Second edition revised and  enlarged, making an elegant
    compact volume of 676 pages.  Cloth, $4.50; half morocco,
    $5.50.  Just out.

  This  work  gives, (1), a concise "general  analysis" of the
physiological action of the remedies, (2), then their "Character-
istic symptoms," (the more distinct'ive  ones standing out in
italics), (3), the remedies have many of their symptoms com-
pared with other remedies, showing the  relative value of each
remedy, and (4), the practical value of each remedy is given in
the "therapeutic range."  These features make it a valuable
elementary text-book, and  very convenient  for reference for
the student or general practitioner.

  The fact that a second edition of any work should be called for within
the time which has elapsed since the issue of the first edition of the  book
under consideration, is sufficient evidence that it h;is met an appreciative
demand.  The text has been thoroughly  revised, and a number of addi-
tional remedies incorporated. We can justly say that it is multum in par-
vo!—The Homoeopathic  Times.
  In less thai: six hundred pages, Prof. Cowperthwaite gives  a clear, but
necessarily brief synopsis of the characteristic symptoms of nearly three
hundred drugs. Some remedies, not in the first edition, has been added;

comparisons are a new and special feature of Prof. Cowp rthwaite's
book.—The Homoeopathic Physician.       *

and their  management are next fully given.   Then  all  the
diseases of the whole  alimentary tract are treated with all the
fullness and precision their  importance demands.  Next  the

diseases of the glandular system are considered.  The diseases
of the child's throat, bronchi, lungs, heart, brain, skin, kidneys,
etc., are very fully treated.  The general diseases follow—not
omitting worms.  The volume  closes  with a  full analysis of
acid and alkaline children.
  This third edition has been carefully revised  and brought up
to date, making it  the most complete treatise on the diseases
of children, in one volume, and a credit to Homoeopathy.

  The author has made suchaooncise compilation that his work may be
adopted as a text-book of our School, and we trust ;hat no Homoeopathic
physician will allow himself to be without it.—Homoeopathic Times.

  Each subject is treated exhaustively and compiled from the Very best
and latest literature on  the  s  bjects.  Much time and labor has been
expended in gathering and arranging the material for publication. The
therapeutic indications are fully anj admirably given  having been taken
from all Homoeopathic sources, native and foreign.—Hahnemann Monihly.

  Duncan's Text-book fills a long-neglected want. It is the only Homoeo-
paihie book on diseases of children written on a scientific basis.  We feel
glad that Duncan gives such prominence to physiological therapeutics, a
branch too much neglected in many otherwise fair text-books. How and
when to feed a child is at least of equal importance as to heai it, when
from sheer ignorance it is made sick  As old a physician as I am, I thank
Dr. Duncan forthis instruction.— JV. A. Journal of Homoeopathy.

  "Dr. Ludlam's book includes a wide range of subjects : The functional

speak about it with clearness and elegance. It affords delightful reading

  It is perhaps needless to remark that  this edition, which practically
amounts to a new book, is incomparably the best treatiseongencecology ever
published.  Although this branch of medicine, having been cultivated with
great assiduity, has made wonderful progress within a few year-. Dr.
Ludlam has not only kept fully posted in the discoveries of others, but
has also himself introduced many valuable  improvements. That this
work should pass through five editions in ten years attests its popularity.
The last contains almost four hundred more  pages than the fourth, and
sixty lectures instead of thirty-two.  We are greatly pleased at the change
In the arrangement of the lectures, which now follow each  other syste-
matically, instead of discussing certain subjects just in the order in which
