" IDE TO HEALTH; FREE. INTRODUCTION. 
(a^ 
Gentle Reader : In the presentation of this little 
volume to the public, I have no other'motive than 
that it may continue to bless the race, when I am 
gone, as the treatment, herein commended is do- 
ing at the present time through my personal prac- 
tice. 
I have called these remedies Specifics, because 
they are the identical materials of which we are 
fearfully and wonderfully made, and they are pre- 
pared and presented to the system just exactly as 
the living organism prepares them ; for the con- 
stant supply in building up the system by replac- 
ing fresh material for that which has served its 
purpose and has perished and passed away. 
This use of remedies, as well as the remedies 
themselves, is the latest and best result of research 
in this field of thought, by the very best talent and 
he ablest scientists of this age and is logically ab- 
olutely perfect, as close observation and deep 
crutiny will verify. The fact that diseases which 
ave been classed as incurable, are cured by it, 
ndisputably, corroborates what its place in the 
numan system would lead us to expect; and the 
fact that maglignancy in diseases disappears as if 
>y magic, and the patient, who has been given 2 
over to death by physicians and friends alike, 
shows signs of convalescence, and in a short time 
is pronounced out of danger, gives us satisfaction 
and courage in very hopeless cases. Incipient 
Tuberculosis, Malignant Diphtheria where other 
treatment failed, Diabetes Melletes etc.. have been 
cured by it and all the worst common diseases, 
which have been so fearfully fatal, lose their grip 
and become comparatively harmless, when com- 
batted with these Specifics. 
(b) 
The Advantages of Specifics;-Being, as 
we know by the most searching analysis in every 
possible way, the identical materials of which the 
whole body is built in all its parts, and the only 
ones, and the whole of them, it is easy to see that 
we have all the material that can be used. Again, 
The conditions of ill health and the pains, irrita- 
tions, disabilities uneasiness and all the unplea- 
santness of such condition are the cravings of the 
system for the supply of materials to nourish the 
diseased part, which for causc^ has become ex- 
hausted in whole or in part, just as hunger is the 
craving of the stomach for food, or thirst for drink 
Then it follows that when the material is artifi- 
cially supplied in such form as to find its way 
without hindrance into the circulation ; just as 
soon as the blood carrying the necessary material 
reaches the famishing part, the process of rebuild- 
ing commences, and as rapidly as the work goe; 
on, all the signs of disease begin to fade away 3 
and soon health is restored. There remains no 
effect of revulsive measures, there is no medicinal 
disease, no debility from which it requires five'or 
six months to recover. Not an iota of injury 
wrought in or on the system. Recovery is com- 
plete. 
(c) 
How to use the Specifics :-I have given 
specific directions, for the treatment of all common 
diseases, in alphabetical order, in the body of the 
book, but some general hints are necessary. 
Dose :-Three to five grains of the powder is a 
dcse for an adult-or a powder as large as a pea, 
one-half that quantity for a child under seven 
years, one-four, h for an infant. 
Forms of Preparations:-There are three 
forms of preparations, tincture, pellets and pow- 
ders. The pellet or drop of tincture contains a 
grain of medicine in powder form. For all practi- 
cal purposes, the powders are the most convenient. 
The strength of medicines is noted by x preceded 
by a number, as jx, 6x, i2x, or 30X, which means 
the ihird, sixth, twelfth or thirtieth decimal of pot- 
ency. For all practical purposes the sixth is found 
to be the most desirable. When ordering, always 
state what potency you wish ; thus, Specific No. 1, 
6x. 
' (d) 
How to Administer :-In diseases in which 
the waste is not rapid, a dose eyery two hours is 4 
considered sufficient, but I have found better satis- 
faction in small doses often repeated. In chronic 
affections, the powder may be taken dry on the 
tongue. In lock-jaw, paralysis of the tongue or in 
cases where the patient cannot swallow, the medi- 
cine may be rubbed on the gums or put in the 
mouth where it will dissolve. In acute diseases 
that take rapid courses and cairy away vitality at 
a fearful rate, there should be a dose given every 
five migutes. In such cases, I put a teaspoon half 
full of powder in half a glass of water; dose, a 
teaspoonful every five minutes to one-half hour ac- 
cording to the severity of the symptoms, and con- 
tinue the remedy as long as called for or required. 
When better, take less often. 
Alternation of Remedies r-Any number of 
remedies may be alternated with grand results, 
when they are indicated. 'These remedies do not 
interfere with remedies of different schools. 'The 
indicated Homeopathic remedies alternated with 
the Specific for the same trouble, do well. In any 
case when you cannot be certain which of two or 
more is the right one, give them both or all alter- 
nately, five to thirty minutes apart, and continue 
till you get result. I may be criticised for such 
teachings, but I have good reasons. In the first 
place . if the wastes in the system are to be built 
up by the blood, it is plain that when the needed 
material is supplied, in a continual stream of food 
for the the deficient part of the system, will every 5 
moment be adding the needed supply, and the 
process will be more rapid.than it can possibly be 
by large doses far apart. But secondly ; . dual 
test at the bedside decides in favor of small doses, 
often repeated. 
Study well the directions given under individual 
diseases add use your best judgment and adminis- 
ter hopefull}' and fearfully. These remedies are 
food and not poison ; they build up but never tear 
down, and cure always if the vital powers have 
not ceased to appropriate nutrition. 
It is with real satisfaction and joy that I place 
this little volume in your hands as a guide to 
health and happiness, knowing as I do the clouds, 
over many a home, that it will dissolve and drive 
away ; the anxiety that it will relieve ; the burdens 
that it will throw off of many a lady who has been 
taught that she must bear and suffer as long as she 
lives - when as if by magic, the cause of all- her 
woes has mysteriously faded away.

How to Order Medicines :-I have made spe- 
cial arrangements with Boericke and Runyon, 234 
Sutter St. San Francisco, Cal., and their branch 
house, 303 Washington St. Portland Oregon, to 
sell to the owners of my book at ten per cent, dis- 
count, all the medicines that are recommended in 
my treatment. Their advertisement is in this book 
It is most economical to order an ounce of each 
remedy needed, by mail. The retail price at pres- 6 
ent is fifty cents (50), ten per cent, off will make 
it forty-five (45c). An ounce contains, three hun- 
dred doses (300) or more and will last, in ordi- 
nary cases, a whole family from three to six- 
months It will be a good plan, when you get 
your book, at once, to make a careful study of the 
whole book, with a particular reference to your 
personal prospective wants, in specifics for the line 
of ailments you are most naturally liable to, or al- 
ready suffering, and order them at once, that you 
may have them when needed. There is no danger 
of their deterioration if kept well corked and awav 
from sunlight. As elsewhere stated, they are used 
in 6th potency as No. 1 6x and must be so desig- 
nated or they will be sent 3X. Be sure to claim 
your discount you are entitled to it, for all time to 
come. Order Dr. Caldwell's Specifics No. 1 6x 
etc.

Now dear reader, I have earnestly and faithfully 
as far as in me is, endeavored to guide you 
through all the changes of physical life, to aid 
you in escaping dangers that lie thick at every 
turn, to overcome them when they can be avoided 
and to suffer patiently until relief comes . And I 
feel perfectly assured that the treatment here laid 
down will relieve and deliver from nine-tenths of 
the ills that are ordinarily suffered, and very great- 
ly alleviate the other tenth ; whilst at the same 
time it will brighten the eye and give zest to the 7 
enjoyments of life otherwise clouded by disease, 
and actually promote longevity. 
And notwithstanding all these temporal bless- 
ings, in the end, the great Conqueror will claim 
the victory, the battle, though well fought and 
many a victory bravely won. There will inevit- 
ably creep on. the decrepitude of age, and the 
end of our earthly career will loom up in our west- 
ern horizon and we will stand like a shock of corn 
fully ripe ready to be gathered into the garner of 
our Lord, provided our spiritual health has been 
cared for properly. 
I am so glad to introduce to you the great Phy- 
sician of souls. There is a balm in Gilead that is 
absolutely a Specific that never fails. There is a 
Physician there that never errs. He is the house 
Physician in the home of the soul. They need not 
the light of sun or moon, there is no night there. 
The inhabitant never says 1 am sick. There is 
one eternal round of joy unspeakable and full of 
glory because of the fact of perennial youth in the 
presence of the Lamb.

Special Directions for the Sick Room 
First, ascertain the remedies that are to be given. 
Examine carefully to find out the exact condition 
of the patient, which will be clearly marked by the 
prominent symptoms. Find these symptoms in 
your book, and their remedies and when you have 
found them a'l, get as many glasses or cups as 8 
there are remedies to be given. Fill them halt 
full of pure water, putting half a teaspoonful of 
the powder of each remedy in its own respective 
glass and stir till well dissolved ; give in ^teaspoon 
full doses alternately five to thirty minutes apart, 
in very bad cases, or fifteen minutes to one hour 
apart in less severe cases. In acute cases there 
should not elapse, more than one hour between the 
doses of the same remedy. Thus: If two remedies 
are alternated they should come every thirty min- 
utes. If four remedies are given at once, they 
should come every fifteen minutes, etc. Put the 
spoon on the glass of medicine, next to be given, 
and you will always know which to give. Let the 
medicine be given as regularly as the clock ticks, 
unless natural refreshing sleep occurs, then re 
same as soon as the patient wakes. As improve* 
ment takes place the medicine may be given less 
frequently. 
Cover the glasses with card boards and don't 
leave the spoons in them. Do not keep the pow* 
ders in contact witli printer's ink, but keep in bot* 
ties or clean paper. If the patient is not confined 
to the house, the medicine may be taken dry on 
the tongue, each kind not more than two hours 
apart. In chronic ailments, a dose two or four 
times a day. 
In the treatment of cancers and sores of any 
kind, local applications, of the internal remedies 
taken, dissolved in warm water will hasten the 9 
cure. For disorders of the stomach and bowels, 
cramps or neuralgia the medicine should be given 
in warm water. 
Keep the sick room well ventilated, but don't 
let the wind blow in the patient's face. Anything 
may be done which will administer to the patients 
comfort. Keep all the clothing sweet and clean. 
Avoid physic. LIST OF REMEDIES USED IN THIS BOOK.

Brain Fever or Inelamation of the. Brain : 
The aim in treatment is to arrest the disease as 
soon as possible, and prevent or control after ef- 
fects. It is all moonshine to think that any dis- 
ease may not be arrested in any stage, especially 
the first. For the inflamatory condition, with high 
pulse, delirium, high temperature, excitement, 21 
sleeplessness or intense stupor, administer Nos. 
IV, and VI, alternately, fifteen to thirty minutes 
apart, according to severity of attack, continue as 
long as these conditions exist, lengthening the in- 
tervals as the disease abates. Should the disease 
continue to advance to the second stage, and drow- 
siness and watery secretions by way of tears, ex- 
cessive perspiration, watery stools set in, alternate 
No. 1X, with either or both of the first remedies 
that may be still indicated, so as to bring the reme- 
dies a half hour apart. When the acute stage is 
past alternate Nos. IX, and I, one or two hours 
apart, till convalescence is established. In all in- 
flamatory diseases it is important to begin treat- 
ment at once as all of them can be abated in a 
few hours if taken at once and No. IV, is the reme- 
dy. 
Breasts (Weed) :-As soon as the disease be- 
gins, use Nos. IV, andV, alternately, fifteen to 
thirty minutes apart till the pain and swelling is 
gone. In the meantime keep the breasts wrapped 
in warm dry flannels so as not to be exposed to 
changes of temperature. It treatment has been 
delayed and the disease has gone to suppuration, 
use No. XII, a dose every hour. For sleepless- 
ness and exhaustion use No. VI, every two or 
three hours. When the sores do not heal readily af- 
ter suppuration, use No. II, every four hours, then 
take a course of No. I, a dose every four hours, 
to build up the debilitated system. When of necess- 22 
ity the breast must be lanced, hold the lance so as 
to have the edge towards the nipple, to prevent 
cutting in two the milk veins. Should the edges 
of the sores become hard, use No. Ill, internally 
and externally every two to four hours. 
Bright's Disease :-This disease is acute ca- 
tarrh of the mucus membrane of the kidneys and 
urinary organs, and produces great disturbance ot

cretion of, Ibumen, use Nos. I, and VI, alternate- 
ly one or two hours apart. 
Bronchitis:-Inflamation of the wind-pipe or 
bronchial tubes, if No. IV', be used promptly and 
persistently, the disease may be arrested at the 
outset. Give a dose every fifteen minutes to one 
hour, according to severity of attack. For further 
treatment, see cough and expectorations. 
Bronchial Disease-Asthmatic, with yellow 
expectoration, worse in warm weather, warm room 
or hot atmosphere, use No. VII, every hour, alter- 
nate with No. VJ, for fatigue or nervous depres- 
sion, (see asthma). If the mucus is distinctly yel- 
low, greenish slimy and watery, or if the expect- 
orations are yellow watery matter (pus) and pro- 
fuse, use No. VII, every two hours, (see bronchi- 
tis).

without removing the lint. 
Cancer :-For treatment of this disease note 
carefully all complications and look up their treat- 
ment under their appropriate titles in this book, al- 
ternating the remedies with these herein given. In 
many cases cures may be expected, and always 
relief afforded. In scrofulous subjects use No I, 
a dose two to four times a day. Cancer on the 
tongue, Nos. VII, and X, alternately, a dose two 
to four times a day, also hold the same medicine 
in the mouth as a lotion. For the swelling, if it

every two hours, when there is white, thick, opa- 
que phlegm. For stuffy cold use the same reme- 
dies, and if there are yellovdsh small lumps, use 
Nos. V, and III, alternately two hours apart. Ca- 
tarrh is an ailment that may occur in any portion 
of the mucus membrane and discharge at any op- 
ening of the body, and these remedies cure no 
matter in what place the discharges occur. For 
watery, transparent, frothy discharges use Nos. 
IX, and III, one hour apart alternately. For 
chronic catarrh in bloodless patients (sometimes 
the mucus tastes salty), use No. IX, every hour.

and uneasiness, give No. VII, a dose eyery two 
hours. For chronic catarrh of the stomach the same 
remedy is used, if worse on lying down alternate 
No. VI, with No. VII, one hour apart. In all ca- 
tarrhs, with yellow or greenish slimy secretions of 
thin matter (pus), patient feels generally worse in 26 
the evening, or in a heated room, when it is obsti- 
nate and is slow yielding in the use of No. VII, a 
dose every two hours, alternate No. II, with No. 
VII, one hour apart. In all catarrhs in debilitated 
persons with thin blood, or when the secretions or

breath No. VI, to be taken, but when coyered 
with yellow slime, No. Vil. It one has a chronic 
disease which has a coating of the tongue, and 
takes an acute disease, the remedies must be se- 
lected principally from the symptoms of the acute 
disease. If any disease, especially chronic, gives 
no plain decisive symptoms, the coating of the 
tongue will, nearly always, give the clue to the 
proper remedies. 
Colds :-There is no one thing that needs so 
much watching and deserves so prompt treatment 
as fresh colds. There are more suffering and pre- 
mature deaths from neglected colds, than any oth- 
er one cause. While there are few ailments more 
easily cured, if promptly attended to. For a pre- 
disposition to catching cold, Nos. IV, and I, a 
course till cured, alternately two hours apart. For 
all colds at first No. IV, a dose every hour till it 
disappears. Cold in the head No. IV, every thir- 
ty minutes. For cold in the chest, with soreness

every hour, with a whitish or gray coated tongue 
or stuffy cold in the head, slow to cure Nos. V,

anus, of .syphilitic origin, No. XI, to be used in- 
ternally and externally every two hours. 
Cornea :-Corneal short-sightedness,No.IX,in- 
ternally and externally every four hours. Blisters 
on the cornea, No. IX, a dose every two hours. 
Constipation:-No. IX, every four hours, is 
the chief remedy, especially when the result of 
lack of moisture in the system, dryness of the mu- 
cus lining of the bowels or excess of watery se- 
cretions in other parts of the system such as wat- 
ery vomiting, watery eyes, excess of saliva in the 
mouth or on the tongue. If there be inability to 
expel the faeces from torpidity of the lower bowel 
faeces receding, use Nos. Ill, and XII, alternate- 
ly two hours apart. When the faeces are covered 
with yellow stringy threads, and are large, or

there is heat in the lower bowel with weak muscu- 
lar power No. IV, a dose every thirty minutes to

disease is injection of hot water after breakfast. 
Cathartics so often resorted to are always injuri- 
ous and shorten life. If the directions herein giv- 
en are patiently and perseveringly carried out. it 
will never be necessary to use physic and you will 
thank God you have learned to go without it. If 
tat and pastry disagree. No. V. should be used. 
Consumption,is a terrible disease.and has been 
pronounced incurable. It certainly has not been 
often, if ever cured by the old time routine method, 
but because it never has been is no evidence that 
it never will be. I believe I have myself cured 
veritable tuberculosis with these specific remedies 
and earnestly insist that any one having my book 
afflicted with it, will heroically cast off any and 
every other cure and persistently follow out the 
Specific treatment here given, and rely upon a 
cure which will be secured if the case has not 
been neglected till the recuperative forces have 
become totally exhausted. For the emaciation 33 
take I, as a constant remedy till that disorder is 
arrested, or till no longer needed, a dose two to 
four hours apart, taking the other remedies along 
with it. As diet, let the patient have anything 
that is palatable and harmless, but anything that 
disagrees with the stomach and disease must be 
discarded on penalty of death. Cream is a good 
diet, also small doses of cod liver oil, and be sure 
not to starve nor stuff the patient. When the Sputa 
is mattery or bloody or mixed with blood, use No. 
II, a dose evt ry hour. Throughout the whole

creamy or golden yellow, No. X. should taken, a 
dose every hour. When there is fever or any

fever and typhoid conditions, No. VI, every five 
to thirty minutes. If there are inflamatory or con- 
gestive symptoms, alternate Nos. IV, and VI, five 
to thirty minutes apart. 
Delirium Tremens :-Most cases are readily 
cured with No. IX, a dose every five to fifteen 
minutes. If there is much nervousness or fright, 
in the patient, alternate Nos. IX, and VI, ten min- 
utes apart. For Delirium that may occur at any 
time, starting, wandering, murmuring and frothy 
mouth, give No. IX, every hour. If accompanied 
with inflamatory fever, alternate Nos. IV, and IX, 
ten minutes apart. 
Dentition and its Complication:-When 
teeth come hard, give Nos. I, or III, a dose every 
two hours, when there is fever give No. IV, every 
five to thirty minutes. If there should be feyer and 
spasms, give Nos. IV, and VI, alternately five to

stant remedy, every two hours, also give No- VII, 
intercurrently once in four hours. If there should

remedy. One-half hour before meals, take a dose 
of No. IV, and one-half hour after, a dose of No. 
X. Diabetic patients must abstain entirely from 
sweets, milk diets, butter and tarts, and ought to 
confine their diet to water or soda crackers or 
something equivalent and equally harmless. This 
restriction will be for a brief time only, if the di- 
rections are strictly and piomptly carried out, for 
a cure may be confidently expected. 
Diarrhoea For watery, frothy, slimy stools, 
take No. IX, a dose every thirty minutes, bilious, 
dark, or green stools, No. XI, a dose every half 
hour, and for bloody and slimy stools, No. V,

ing of the tongue, give No. V, a dose every hour. 41 
Stools matter and blood, No. II, a dose every fif- 
teen to thirty minutes, stools sour smelling, green

nervous exhaustion, No. VI, every one to two 
hours. In all cases for fever give No.^V , a dose 
every five to thirty minutes according to severity of 
the attack. Close attention to diet. Mercurius 
Cor. 4X, is an excellent intercurrent. 
Diphtheria:-This hitherto fearful scourge of 
thousands of families needs only two remedies, if 
taken at the start, and persistently carried out. 
There must be no playing fast and loose with such 
ailments. The remedies are Nos. IV, and V, al- 
ternately five to fifteen minutes apart, the first for 
fever, the second for the false membrane, also use 
a gargle, use No. V, 3X, a teaspoonful in a tumb- 
ler of water and gargle often enough to keep the 
mouth clean. There are many complications that 
are sure to follow if the disease has for any reason 
been neglected or improperly treated, which must 
be carefully watched. Should the vocal organs be 
attacked use Nos. I and III, alternately five to 
thirty minutes apart, No. V, is to be used as a con- 
stant remedy so long as the white or gray false 
membrane remains, with the other indicated reme- 
dies as intercurrents. When there is vomiting 42 
green water, give No. XI, every one to two hours 
or oftener. For pale or puffy face, drowsiness, 
watery stools, watery vomiting or drooling, give 
No. IX, every one to two hours. If the disease 
takes the malignant gangrenous form, give No. 
VI, every thirty minutes or oftener. For nervous 
exhaustion, at any stage, give No. VI, one to two 
hours or oftener. For the after effects, which uni- 
formly are of a paralytic nature, in any part of the 
body, give No. VI, two to four hours. For pro- 
moting convalescence as a constitutional tonic, give 
specific No I, a dose every four hours. There is a 
spurious diphtheritic throat disease which must be 
distinguished from diphtheria. In this disease the 
+onsils are covered with a yellow cream-like coat- 
ing, also the rcof of the back part of the mouth has 
a yellow creamy appearance, and the tongue is 
moist, creamy or gold, give No. X, a dose every 
hour, alternated with No. IV, thirty minutes apart 
it there should be fever. In Diphtheria all other 
means of cure than here given ought not to be used 
as they may interfere with their action. For the 
very great thirst, I can allow only small lumps of 
ice held in the mouth and even that ought to be 
omitted if possible. Ice-water swallowed will re- 
tard the cure. Sponge the body in tepid water as 
often as desirable. This treatment has cured ma- 
lignant diphtheria (where others died with other 
treatment'' in forty-eight hours. 
Discharges, from mucous surfaces in any part 43 
of the body give indications for remedies when 
other symptoms are obscure or absent. For in- 
stance, a slimy yellow or greenish discharge, or 
that becomes green, after exposure to to the air de- 
notes specific No. VII, clear watery frothy dis- 
charge denotes specific No. IX, while a yellow 
cream colored discharge denotes No. X. A thick, 
white slimy mucous discharge No.V, when putrid, 
heavy odored, offensive, No. VI, a dose every 
hour. 
Dizziness :-For dizziness from brain or nerv- 
ous causes, give No. VI, a dose every two to four 
hours, from blood pressure, worse on stooping, 
No. IV, a dose every hour, but when caused from 
bilious affections, give No. XI, a dose every two 
hours. 
Dropsy :-For dropsy, simple and uncomplicat- 
ed the remedies are Nos. IX, and XI, alternately 
one hour apart. In dropsy, with sweat salt tasted, 
give No. IX, as intercurrent remedy. For dropsy 
after scarlatina, give No. VII, every two hours. 
When the skin is harsh and dry, give No. VII, 
every two hours. For dropsy, from any cause, 
when the coating of the tongue is white or gray, 
or the secretions are thick, whitish and slimy, give 
No. V, every hour. When caused from loss of 
blood, or anemie conditions give No. I, every two 
hours, or alternate No. IV, with No. I, an hour 
apart. Dropsy from heart disease, with nervous 
depression needs No. VI, as intercurrent every 44 
two to four hours. (See palpitation, or heart dis- 
ease.) 
Dysentery :-At first, give Nos. IV, and V, al- 
ternately fifteen to thirty minutes apart. When 
the stools consist of blood only, give Nos. VI, and 
IV, alternately, fifteen to thirty minutes apart, If 
there should be swelling of the abdomen and de- 
lirium, give No. VI, every fifteen minutes. When 
the stools are putrid and very offensive, and ton- 
gue very dry, give No. VI, every half hour. If 
the stools are mixed, blood and matter, give No. 
II, every half hour. If there should be spasmodic 
pains causing the patient to draw up, this is reliev- 
ed by warmth or rubbing, give No. VIII, every 
five to fifteen minutes. Mercurius Cor. is an ex- 
cellent intercurrent 4X. 
Dyspepsia, is perhaps the most uncomfortable 
disease in the whole catalogue of human ailments 
and nearly always is the result of criminal abuse 
of the digestive organs and may be avoided as well 
as not. If the face of the patient is hot or flushed, 
and there is tenderness or pressure at the pit of the 
stomach, beating or throbbing, vomiting of undi- 
gested food, and the tongue clean, any or all of 
these symptoms call for No. IV, a dose every half 
hour. If there should be water brash, or vomit- 
ing of much clear frothy mucous, give No. IX, a 
dose every half hour. When the tongue is coated 
whitish, and pain or weight under the right shoul- 
der blade, if fat food disagrees, and the eyes look 45 
large and stick out, give No. V, a dose every two 
hours. If in addition there should be a dark ap- 
pearance under the eyes, alternate No. X, with 
No. V, an hour apart. When there is a hot spot 
in the stomach, accompanied by pain often going 
through to the back, give No. X, a dose every 
hour. A person bothered with sour fluids gulp- 
ing from the stomach, should take a powder of No. 
IV. thirty minutes before meals, and a powder of 
X. thirty minutes after meals. Dyspeptics should 
find out what foods a^ree with them, and discard 
everything else. They should never use milk with 
fruit. 
Ears, Ailments of:-Noises in the ears may 
be caused either by excess of blood in the brain 
or by nervous exhaustion. The former is cured 
with No. IV, and the latter with No. VI, a dose 
every one or two hours. For ear-ache caused 
from cold, burning, throbbing pain or sharp stitch- 
ing pain of an inflamatory nature, give No. IV, a 
dose fifteen to thirty minutes. Ear-ache, with 
white furred tongue, swelling of the glands or 
throat, takes No. V, for a remedy, a dose every 
hour. Cracking noise when swallowing, dry or 
swollen outer ear, without wax or a discharge of a 
white (white of eggs) looking substance, takes 
No. V, a dose every hour. Ear-ache with thin 
watery discharge, or singing in the ears, need 
Nos. IX, and IV, alternately every half hour. In 
swelling and inflamation of the external ear and 46

No. X, a dose every two hours. Soften the ear- 
wax with mullen oil. For neuralgia of the ears, 
give Specific No. VIII, a dose every fifteen min- 
utes. If relief don't come in reasonable time, al- 
ternate with No. I. fifteen minutes apart.

tic condition, requires No. VI, a dose every two 
hours, also No. IV, every two hours. When caused 
by worms or irritation of the urinal canal, give No. 
X, a dose every two hours. In scrofulous persons,

bad habits, they must be abandoned and No. X, 
taken as constant remedy, a dose every two hours.

Eresipelas, is of two forms, smooth and vesi- 
cular. For smooth, red, shiny, tingling or pain- 
ful swelling of the skin (rose,) give No. XI, a 
dose every hour, for the fever No. IV, with No. 
XI, alternately a half hour apart. 
Vesicular Eresipelas :-The constant remedy 
is No. V, every hour a dose, alternated for fever- 
ishness with No. IV, half an hour apart. Expect- 
orations are important symptoms for the indications 
for remedies, and should be carefully noted. When 
the expectoration is a thick mucous phlegm, white 
and lumpy, often deep seated and hard to raise, 
and non-transparent, the remedy is No. V, every 
hour or oftener (see cough). When salt tasted or 
clear, thin, frothy, transparent, No. IX, a dose 
every hour, when a yellow slimy mucous, easily 
coughed up mornings, at other times slips back 
and is swallowed, No Vil, every hour or two. 48

at night, give No. VI [, along with No. IV if neces- 
sary, for moistening the skin, fifteen to thirty min- 
utes apart. 
Affections of the Eyes :-In the first ap- 
pearance of inflamation of the eyes which is the

scald the skin or cause eruption on the skin, or 
white spots on the cornea, it may be cured by the 
use of No. IX. externally syringing the part, also 
internally once or twice daily. Granulated eye- 
lids, No. IX, and V, alternately one hour apart, 
styes and deep seated ulcers, No. XII, every two

XII, a dose every two to four hours. 
Felon :-When the matter becomes offensive, 
take No. VI, a dose every half hour. The felon 
is one of the most painful and distressing ailments 
imaginable, and when they run their course last 
nearly three weeks. When beginning, there is a 
keen sense as of a splinter deep in the affected 
part, the pain increasing constantly every hour till 51 
it becomes insufferable. It should be killed in the 
beginning, as soon as possible. A felon is caused 
by congestion between the periosteum and the 
bone. That congestion must be removed by ab- 
sorption or the lance. Take No. V, internally, a 
dose every hour and apply a lotion of the same in 
hot water, on lint and keep it moist all the time 
till aborted. If too late to kill it and it runs on, it 
is a good plan to lance it. but it must be opened in 
the right place and the periosteum must be thor- 
oughly pierced or the evil will be increased instead 
of removed. If the lancing is well done, the pain 
will cease immediately and the wound heal. Speci- 
fic No. XII, a dose every two hours will hasten 
the suppuration, and No. II, will heal the sores 
after suppuration, a dose every two hours. 
Fevers and feverish conditions are among the 
most important ailments to understand, and their 
treatment is so simple that almost anyone can han- 
dle them successfully by following the directions 
herein given. Fevers may be purely of nervous 
origin, as typhus and typhoid in its last stages, and 
is known by high temperature, quick and irregu- 
lar pulse, great nervous irritability, (excitability) 
or great depression of spirits and debility or stu- 
por, give No. VI, a dose every five to thirty min- 
utes till relieved, after relief often enough to keep 
the patient calm, once an hour or two. For all in- 
flamatory and catarrhal fevers, no matter in what 
part of the body, or how caused, give No. IV, a 52 
dose every five minutes to an hour, according to 
severity, till better. After the fever is well abated 
or perspiration occurs, give the stated medicines 
often enough to keep it down or prevent a relapse. 
When the case is stubborn and the skin is harsh 
and dry, or if the heat rises at night and the pa- 
tient is worse in a heated atmosphere and better in 
open air give Nos. IV, and VII, alternately fifteen 
to thirty minutes apart. For complications use 
the remedies indicated alone or in alternation. 
Fevers in the cold stage that arise from blood pois- 
oning requires No. VII, a dose every five minutes. 
Do all you can to warm the patient by die appli- 
cation of heat in the way of extra clothing and 
friction with the hand or woolen cloths When the 
patient complains of a sensation of inwaid heat, 
and feverishness, cold extremeties oppressed in 
close air, and must be fanned, give Nos. IV, and 
VII, alternately live minutes apart till relieved, 
then often enough to keep the patient comfortable. 
When the fever is persistent and recurs every 
night and rises till midnight, then declines till 
morning, it denotes blood poisoning, for which 
give No. VIL every five minutes through the 
night, and every thirty minutes through the day, 
and bathe the patient in tepid water. If the secre- 
tions are offensive, bad breath or foul urine, sweat 
or stools, give Nos. VII, and VI, (in the above 
case) alternately, five to fifteen minutes apart till de- 
cided improvement occurs, then continue as seems 53 
required, or the change of symptoms requires a 
change of remedies. In fevers of acute diseases 
when there is drowsiness, dryness of the tongue, 
vomiting of water or excessive perspiration, give 
No. IX, a dose every fifteen to thirty minutes. Fe- 
vers with bitter taste in the mouth, No. XI, a dose 
every hour (see names of fevers individually.) 
Fingers:-When the fingers are inflamed or 
painful, take No. IV, a dose every one to three 
hours. Watery blisters caused by arsenical paints 
on wall paper, No. IX, a dose every thirty min- 
utes. Also apply locally on soft lint. 
Fits :-In growing children or aged persons, 
and in scrofulous subjects, requires for treatment,

biting pain and short belching of gas, without re- 
lief, give No. VIII, a dose every two hours, rais- 
ing the taste of food, No. IV, a dose every two 
hours, especially betore and after meals, also give 
No- IX, in the same manner. A good treatment 
for the above symptom is a dose of No. IV, before 54 
meals, and No. IX, after meals. Flatulence, sour 
taste, requires No. X, every two to four hours. 
With pain and sense of fullness, in the region of 
the left groin implicating the ovary, No. VII, a 
dose every two hours. With distress about the 
heart, or weakness of heart, No. VI, a dose every 
two hours. With distress on the left side of the 
pit of the stomach or a weary pain in the left side, 
No. VI, every two to four hours, with white or 
gray coated tongue, No. V, a dose every two 
hours. If the whole system be in a lax, inactive

X, one hour apart till two doses are taken, then 
No. I, a dose the third hour and so on. In bilious 
subjects, alternate in the same way, Nos. X, and 
XI. No. X, decomposes the stones, and No. I, 55 
prevents their reformation. If spasms occur in 
the passage of gravel, give No. VIII, every fifteen 
minutes. 
Gangrenous Conditions :-No matter what 
the disease, or in what part of the body gangrene 
appears, use promptly No. VI, a dose every five 
to fifteen minutes till the disease is arrested. 
Gastritis, inflamation of the stomach. For 
pain, swelling, tenderness in the pit of the stom- 
ach or vomiting of food give No. IV, in hot water 
a dose every five minutes. If for want of early 
treatment the disease goes on to the second stage, 
there is a white or gray tongue, give No. V, a 
dose every hour. For fever give No. IV, in alter- 
nation with No. V. When inflamation of the sto- 
mach is caused from being scalded, give No. V, in 
warm water as soon as possible, large doses every 
five minutes. If the disease goes on and great 
prostration and exhaustion occurs give No. VI, a 
dose every five minutes. When the taste is bitter, 
and bilious symptoms appear, give No. XI, a dose

then Nos. X, and V, alternately one hour apart 56 
till cured, a dose of No. X, once or twice a day 
will prevent a relapse.

hour apart. Goitre, Derbyshire Neck, Nos. X, 
and I, alternately one hour apart. Also as a lo- 
tion, Nos. X, and IX. Use on lint keeping the 
tumor moist with No. X, for three days, then No. 
IX, in the same way. If the tumor is very hard 
and don't improve by the above treatment, then 
use No. Ill, instead of No. I, as above. It is im- 
portant to begin treatment early in this affection.

tough blood. No. V, a dose every half hour or 
oftener,if severe. Dark red or blackish, but thin and 
watery, not coagulating, Nos. VI, and IX, alterna- 
tely one-half hour apart. 
Hemorrhoids. Piles :-The severe pains can 
be relieved by the local application of Mo. V1H, 
dissolved in tepid soft water, No. Ill, must be 
used as a constant remedy, a dose every two

must be given between. 
Drooling, in sleep, much chilling and dry 
crumbling stools, requires No. IX, as a remedy.

light pressure, but alleviated by hard pressure. 
Pleasant, lively company or anything which ar- 
rests the patient's attention and takes his mind

are relieved by warmth, are worse with light pres- 
sure and better by hard pressure, pain shifting
