PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION. I present my little work in the Third Edition to the public, after having added several Indica- tions, and having completely remodelled it. The First and the Second Editions were so quickly out of print that I may hope the pre- sent one will meet the kindly reception of its predecessors. As every innovation gains by opposition, it is a source of satisfaction to me that some opponents have appeared against my Thera- peutics. The views of these critics the reader will find in the part entitled "Refutation of some Objections." Oldenburg, May 1876. TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. With Dr. Schlissler's permission I have under- taken the translation of his system of treating disease by means of triturated Tissue Salts,— Constitutional Tonics, which tend to restore the lost or disturbed proper balance of Cell Salts. Its publication in English will, I hope, make it known to many to whom otherwise it might be unavailable. - Modern Textural Pathology, Quantitative Analysis, Minute Anatomy, Analytical Chemistry, and such kindred Sciences, have furnished a field of research to this German physician. Profes- sional skill and science combined, have thus led to the elucidation of this new system of Thera- peutics. A General and a Therapeutical Index have been arranged and added by me to the original; the latter to give a resume- of diseases which are histo-pathologically alike, and require such remedy as is mentioned at the head of each group.

Therapeutical systems, which have such elastic boundaries that they can, at any time, embrace new remedies, and either retain or condemn old ones, cannot offer such a degree of certainty as is desirable both for the benefit of the sick and the interests of Science. My endeavour, for a long time, has been to furnish a sharply defined system of therapeutics. As a result of such researches, a system of Cellular and Molecular therapeutics has been developed, the agents, or (so to speak) the work- ing tools of which, are those inorganic substances which act in the animal organism as natural means of function. These are:—Sodium sulphate, Calcium sul- phate, Potassium sulphate, Sodium phosphate, Calcium phosphate, Potassium phosphate, Mag- nesium phosphate, Ferric phosphate, Potassium chloride, Sodium chloride, Silica, Calcium fluoride. B 2 INTRODUCTION. The Carbonates I have excluded for reasons given on page 6. In Agriculture, the inorganic substances of plants have, through the introduction of agri- cultural chemistry, been already turned to good account. My attempt to introduce the chemistry of the tissues of the animal organism into the territory of therapeutics, has been suggested by the follow- ing words of Molleschott:— Molleschott1 says, in his " Vital Circulation" " The structure and vital power of the organs are conditional upon the necessary quantity of the inorganic component parts; and this fact is based upon the recently awakened appreciation of the relative proportions of the inorganic sub- stances in the separate parts of the body,—an appreciation which neither vaingloriously despises, nor yet expects too much, but which promises, both to agriculture and to the healing art, a brilliant future. In the face of the most positive facts, it can no longer be denied that the sub- stances which remain after incineration,— the 1 Professor of Physiology at the University of Rome, for- merly of Heidelberg and Turin, a lineal descendant of the famous Boerhaave. INTRODUCTION. 3 so-called component parts of the ashes,—are as essential to the inner composition, and conse- quently to the ' form-giving' and ' kind-deter- minina;' basis of tissue, as are the substances evaporated during incineration. " Without a glue-furnishing base, we can have no true bone; nor, without bone-earth, any real bone ; nor a cartilage without cartilage-salt; nor blood without iron; nor saliva without Potassium chloride. " Out of air and ashes man is created. The activity of the plants called him into life. Into air and ashes the corpse dissolves, in order that the vegetable kingdom may, in new forms, de- velop new powers." 4 THE FORMATION OF TISSUES. The Formation of Tissues. Blood consists of water, sugar, fat, albuminous substances, besides common salt, Potassium chloride, Calcium fluoride, Silica, Oxide of iron,1 Lime, Magnesia, Soda, and Potash; the latter are combined with Phosphoric acid and Carbonic acid. In the serum the Soda salts [sodium], and in the blood-corpuscules, the Potash salts pre- dominate. Sugar, fat, and the albuminous substances, are the so-called organic components ; water and the above-named salts are the inorganic components of the blood. Sugar and fat are composed of carbon, hydro- gen, and oxygen. Albumen consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus. Blood contains the material for all the consti- tuent parts of the body. There, where the ar- teries, by means of capillaries [channels delicate as hairs] communicate with the veins, a portion of the blood-liquid transudes continually into the 1 Manganese is not always present ; therefore, as far as concerns cell-formation, it may be considered an insignificant constituent of the blood. THE FORMA TION OF TISSUES. 5 surrounding tissues [transosmose]. In the trans- uded liquid arise little granules, lying close to one another, to form germs, from which cells are developed. These cells coalesce, and thus tissues arise,—muscles and sinews, cartilages and bone, brain and nerves, connective-tissue, skin, hair, and nails,—in short, every part of the organism. In the formation of the tissue-cells the salts absolutely determine the kind of cell; Calcium fluoride and Calcium phosphate become consti- tuents of bone and teeth. Calcium fluoride, therefore, is called bone- salt; Calcium phosphate is called bone-earth. Calcium phosphate, however, enters also into the composition of the connective-tissue. Silica belongs also to the connective-tissue, and is found in the hair, the nails, and the epidermis. Potassium chloride is muscle-salt, and Magnesium phosphate is muscle-earth. Besides both these inorganic substances, the muscular tissues con- tain Iron and Potassium phosphate. The salt of cartilage is Sodium chloride, therefore termed cartilage-salt. Iron is also contained in the hair, therefore called " hair-metal." Potassium phos- phate is found in muscle, nerve, and brain. In 6 THE FORMATION OF TISSUES. nerve and brain substance also are found Sodium chloride and Magnesium phosphate. The Carbonates, according to Molleschott, have no significance in cell formation. These are changed, by the retrograde meta- morphosis of tissues, into Sulphates ;—or into phosphate and sodium urate. The oxygen of the air, which, after being breathed, enters the blood, and with the transuded blood-fluid reaches the tissues, has a double func- tion ; it causes the formation of new cells, and destroys the old ones, which lie close beside them, by complete oxidation, i.e. by burning up the albuminous portion and the fat which form the organic basis of the same. When the human or animal organism possesses the above-named organic and inorganic constitu- ents in the requisite quantity, and in the right places, then a sense of perfect well-being exists; for, as it is the inorganic substances from which all the bodily functions proceed, so the sum of their chemical and physiological powers deter- mines the life, or so-called vital force. RETROGRADE METAMORPHOSIS OF TISSUES. 7 Retrograde Metamorphosis of Tissues. Inasmuch as oxygen oxidises (burns up) the effete tissue-cells, or their organic basis, as the latter is composed of carbon, oxygen, hydro- gen, nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphorus, there arise water, lactic acid, carbonic acid, uric acid, ammonia, urea, sulphuric acid, and phosphoric acid.1 The inorganic salts, which were inherent in the organic basis of the cells, are again set free. The sulphuric acid, which has been formed, drives out the carbonic acid of the adjacent Potassium carbonate, the Calcium carbonate, and a portion of the Sodium carbonate, and unites with their bases. Thence arise Potassium sul- phate, Calcium sulphate, and Sodium sulphate. The phosphoric acid and uric acid unite with the balance of the Sodium carbonate, and form Sodium phosphate and Sodium urate. The Mag- nesium phosphate, set free by the oxidation of cells, combines with ammonia, and becomes ammonium-magnesium-phosphate. Of these retrograde products the Sulphates and Sodium phosphates have chemico-physio- 1 There are some intermediate grades, uric acid, acetic acid, etc., which can be omitted, as having no 'special significance in this connection. 8 RETROGRADE METAMORPHOSIS OF TISSUES. logical functions to perform, of which more anon. The products of the Retrograde Metamorphosis are carried, by means of the lymphatics, the con- nective-tissue and veins, to the gall-bladder, to the kidneys, to the bladder, to the skin, etc.; and, with the urine, perspiration, faeces, etc., are removed from the organism. Concerning the intrinsic nature of connective- tissue (connective substance) Molleschott thus expresses himself:—"It belongs to one of the grandest conquests of modern times, to which Virchow and Von Recklinghausen have opened the road, that this connective-substance has been elevated from the indifferent and secondary position formerly allotted to it, to one of fertile activity hitherto unsuspected. That which was formerly considered simply as a filling-in, or protecting covering, now appears as the bed [nidus] of the most minute [sap]-streamlets of blood to the tissues, and from them back to the blood-vessels; and, at the same time, as one of the most important breeding-spots of young cells, which out of the undeveloped youthful forms are capable of being raised to the most charac- teristic formations of the body." THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASES. 9 The Development of Diseases. If an intense irritation strikes a certain portion of tissue cells, the proper balance of the molecules of some one or other cell-salt is disturbed. In consequence of such attack, molecules of that salt are lost, for which reparation must be made. As the connective-tissue channels, on the one hand, conduct the nutritive fluid to the tissues, they also, on the other hand, return into the blood current the refuse, or debris, of used-up tissues, which have been destroyed by the influence of the oxygen. Therefore, the importa- tion and exportation must be carried on side by side,—leading to and leading from connective- tissue channels must exist for freight and return- freight, since these processes cannot be carried on in the course of an uninterrupted goods traffic on the same rails. If the function of the connective-tissue supply- channels of the bony framework of the body has deteriorated below the normal point, then the bone parts receive too little nourishment {Calcium phosphate), in consequence of which arises, for example, the so-called English disease, rachitis, craniotabes, etc. If, in the return channels of the connective- 10 THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASES. tissues near the joints, the removal of the sodium urate is not carried on with sufficient rapidity, gouty swellings will arise. If, at several places of blood-corpuscle for- mation in the connective-tissue, Calcium phos- phate is not sufficiently present, the develop- ment of the young blood-cells will either be defective, or will not take place at all. As the remaining healthy formation centres (breeding- beds) of blood-corpuscles cannot completely make good the loss caused by the decay of the old blood-corpuscles, a blood diathesis is gradually developed, which is called bloodlessness, anaemia, chlorosis. The remedy for which must naturally be Calcium phosphate. If, however, pallor or bloodlessness is determined by a tardy colouring of the blood-corpuscle, rather than by any defi- ciency in their normal number, Iron is required as the healing salt. Dropsical accumulations in closed sacs, viz. in the serum sac of the knee-joint (as hygroma patellae), in the tunica vaginalis (as hydrocele), in the joints, the pleural sac, etc., are caused by the disturbance of the proper balance of the molecules of the common salt (Sodium chloride) in the respective branches of the sympathetic nerve. REFUTATIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. 11 The Sodium molecules, also, of the vaso-motor nerves promote and regulate the passage of serum through the walls of vessels. At any disturbance of the proper balance of the Sodium molecules there ensues an increased outpouring of serum from the blood into the closed sacs. Refutations of Some Objections. Different objections have been urged by phy- sicians, who have arraigned my Abbreviated System of Therapeutics before the bar of their judgment, and which I now take occasion to refute. Dr. Constantine Hering, of Philadelphia, who has informed the American medical profes- sion of the tenor of my therapeutical system in a pamphlet entitled " The Twelve Tissue Remedies" is of the opinion that I should also have embraced carbon and nitrogen among my therapeutical agents. It is, however, well known that neither carbon alone, nor nitrogen alone, enter into the composition of tissue-cells. Carbon and nitrogen are integral parts of the organic substances which form the organic basis of cells. The organic substances are only influenced by inhaled oxygen, and by the inorganic salts. 12 REFUTATIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. Nitrogen and carbon, therefore, remain useless as therapeutical agents. If, in the animal organism, nitrogen should, or could, be wanting, then albuminous substances would be wanting, of which nitrogen is an integ- ral part. Albuminous substances can only be introduced into the body by means of food. Dr. Hering, also, misses the organic acids in my system of therapeutics. How the organic acids, lactic acid and uric acid, are produced, is already noticed under the heading " Retrograde Metamorphosis of Tissues." — No agricultural chemist would think of giving to a sickly vine the organic acids of the grape, because he knows that an inorganic salt (Potassium carbonate) will be the proper remedy. Only indistinct conceptions of the chemico- physiological processes of the animal organism could have induced Dr. H. to raise such objec- tions. Dr. H. further insists that spectroscopic analysis would, in course of time, discover seve- ral other as yet unknown substances in the tis- sues of the human body, which would have to be incorporated among the factors of the tissue- therapeutics. REFUTA TIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. 13 This assertion would seem as intended, in fact, to render the completeness of my thera- peutics unattainable for a long time to come. If, indeed, the spectroscopic analysis could yet discover substances which do contribute to the formation of tissues, such substances would of course have to be incorporated among the agents of the tissue-therapeutics. The inorganic cell-salts already known are, however, able to perform, directly or indirectly, all the functions of the organism. Another critic insists that there cannot be a strictly defined system of therapeutics applicable to all parts of the world, since each quarter of the globe had its peculiar diseases. To this I must reply that it is not a question of medical nomenclature; but rather that, in a system of tissue-therapeutics, it is only tissues and their functional disturbances which are to be taken into consideration. If an Ethiopian has muscles, he certainly has Potassium chloride, Magnesium phosphate, and Iron in them. A disturbance of the molecules of Magnesium phosphate in the muscles of an Ethiopian will produce the same phenomena as in those of a European. 14 REFUTATIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. The same critic thinks that all diseases might be cured with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen, better than with my proposed twelve inorganic tissue-salts. These four elements may, perhaps, suffice in the hands of a necromancer, but they would certainly leave a physician in the lurch. A third opponent, Dr. von Grauvogel of Munich, has been so warped by his persecuting zeal as to fail to notice the contradictions in which he is involved by his own statements. He says, that, with local pathology and local therapeutics, no lasting good is accomplished; that disease is not confined to any one part of the organism, but that the whole organism is, in fact, the disease. Even tumours, apparently isolated, could thus be understood. So he speaks, and, in spite _ of it, treats chondroma with silica, because this substance is contained in the bones. This, surely, is local therapeutics. It cannot be doubted, however, according to my way of think- ing, that local therapeutics are correct. If one has dissipated irritation-hypereemia by its appro- priate remedy, the symptoms dependent upon it —pain, fever, general malaise—have disappeared. If, in consequence of an irritation-hyperaemia, REFUTATIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. 15 an exudation has taken place, again local treat- ment is required in order to get rid of the exudation, and, after its removal, the secondary symptoms cease. If, as Dr. v. G. asserts, the whole organism is the disease, then death must, of necessity, be the result of every illness. On page 38 of his book, speaking of the Law of Similars, he says, " From these propositions it follows that the curabi- lity or incurability of disease does not shape its course according to its intensity merely; but principally according to the quality, quantity, and relation of the remaining healthy parts." If, according to Dr. v. G., the whole organism is the disease, how can there be any talk of " re- maining healthy parts " ? Dr. v. G. further says that, according to Gorup Besanez, the physiological localities of the chemical constituents of the body were, on the whole, yet unknown, therefore a physiological principle could not be perfected. If Dr. v. G. shares the views of Besanez, what then induces him to adopt his expression, " relation of Silica to the bones," and consequently to use Silica as a remedy in chondroma and rachitis ? " All means of nourishment [food ?] are also 16 REFUTATIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. means of function," says Dr. v. G. Soon after he thus expresses himself: " Therefore, one can speak of substances as means of function, only so far as they are not constituent parts of the body." How does this harmonise % Dr. v. G.'s hobby-horse " Logic," seems to be not so well ridden by him as he himself believes. That all inorganic means of nutrition are, at the same time, means of function, is a proposition which I endorse. It never occurred to me to undertake for practical purposes a definite divi- sion of the cell-salts into means of function and of building material. I call them building material, in so far as they occupy a place in the organic basis of the cells ; and means of function, in respect of their chemico-physiological action. Dr. v. G. says, " Schiissler demands that facts should shape themselves according to his theories." Not at all, honoured sir ! My therapeutical sys- tem has arisen between theory and practice, con- stantly and mutually controlling and correcting each other. Not I, but Dr. v. G., demands that facts should shape themselves according to his ideas. To cure chancre he uses Glauber's salt, but the REFUTA TIONS OF SOME OBJECTIONS. 17 disease steadily resists. This, at least, is averred by physicians who have made similar experiments. Dr. v. G., after a long raisonnement about means of adaptation, imbibition, diffusion, etc., insists that there can only be a system of mole- cular—not cellular—therapeutics. Despite Dr. v. G.'s disquisition, I shall retain the term Cellular- therapeutics, since I consider it as more correct. For instance, you supply iron molecules to the blood-cells needing iron; you render a service to the respective cells, and such service carried out for the benefit of these cells, may, without sole- cism, be termed a system of cellular-therapeutics. If one causes, by therapeutical means, iron mole- cules to enter the cells through the molecular inter- stitials of the blood-cell membrane, the service is rendered not to the iron molecules, but to the cells. To dispute whether one should call it a system of cellular—or molecular—therapeutics, is simply a piece of ridiculous pedantry. To the recensionists who have hitherto arisen against me, I quote the words of Voltaire, in La Pucelle d'Origans:— " Censeurs savants, je vous estime tous ; Je connais mes defauts mieux que vous." C 18 MODES OF TREATMENT. Modes of Treatment. The agricultural chemist treats sickly plants with their appropriate inorganic salts, by which they are improved. If one brushes over the leaves of an anaemic plant with a solution of iron sulphate, they will be seen to grow green again within a few days. Such a procedure is rational, because chemico- physiological. Sick animals and men are exposed to frequent maltreatment by approved masters of the healing art. The super-clever veterinary surgeon cuts off the tail of a pig that suffers from epilepsy. If this is to be considered as a rational pro- ceeding, then this absurd etymology occurs to one's mind, ('lucus a non lucendo." Some patients quaff infusions of valerian and gulp down jalap ; others use the red-hot iron in a case of hip-joint inflammation. Thousands of harmless healing-artists, swear- ing by the words of a microscopist, grown mil- dewed with his fungi theories, unhesitatingly use the lunar-caustic ; and many a sufferer from diphtheria is touched up with caustic until he is caused to sleep happily in death. MODES OF TREATMENT. 19 The nature of diphtheria is not that of fungi- formation. The Privy Medical Councillor Goul- lon, at Weimar, in his little pamphlet on " The Diseases of Early Childhood," says, very cor- rectly, " The fungi-germs here found are not the disease itself, but only the guests of the air, which find a good soil and rapidly increase in the decom- posing organic substances {i.e. the diphtheritic exudation]." The fungi-germs bear the same relation to the diphtheritic exudation as do the maggots to the cheese. The main thing, then, is to subdue the exuda- tion, and this can quite surely be effected, if the treatment is promptly undertaken, by Potassium chloride, internally, in the form of molecules. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INORGANIC TISSUE-SALTS. 1. Ferric Phosphate. Iron is a constituent of the blood-corpuscles and of the muscle-cells. If the equilibrium of the iron-molecules is disturbed in the muscular fibres, the latter become relaxed. If such a disturbance of proper balance takes place in the circular fibres of the blood-vessels, the vessels enlarge, and then follows a blood accumulation in the vascular-complex so affected. If, in con- sequence of an increased pressure of blood, a rupture of the walls of the blood-vessels ensues, bleeding [haemorrhage] will follow. If the muscles of the intestinal villi suffer a functional disturbance of their iron molecules, loose evacuations will follow. If, in consequence of a molecular disturbance of the proper balance in the iron, the muscular fibres of the intestinal walls become weakened, then FERRIC PHOSPHATE. 21 the vermicular action of the intestines proceeds with less activity, and gives rise to a tendency to constipation. One and the same substance, there- fore, can be the cause of two opposite phenomena of disease. If the disturbance touches the muscular fibres of the digestive organs, then an excretion of undigested food ensues with the evacuations. Iron molecules, therapeutically employed, allay the pathological functional disturbance. Whilst iron restores to their normal condition the blood-vessels, enlarged by disease, it heals the irritation-hyperaemia, which is the cause of the first stage of all inflammations. Hyperaemia dependent upon a mechanical injury is cured by iron; and fresh non-sup- purating wounds are quickly healed by this remedy. With the rust (oxide of iron) of the lance inherited by Achilles from his father Peleus, was healed the wound of Telephus, made by a thrust from the same lance. Therefore, Dante says, " Cosi od'io che solea la lancia D'Achille e del suo padre esser cagione Prima di trista a poi di buona mancia." Iron and the iron salts possess a property 22 MAGNESIUM PHOSPHATE. which itself attracts oxygen. In this fact con- sists their utility to the respective tissue-cells. I use the Ferric or iron phosphate. Several farmers, upon my recommendation, have given ferrum, and always with success, to sows possessed with the mania of eating their own young. This disease (a mania transitoria) depends upon hyperaemia of the brain. 2. Magnesium Phosphate is a component part of the muscles, the nerves, the brain, the bones, and teeth. It has not yet been tested for bone diseases in my practice. As a nerve remedy it has fur- nished most excellent results. The nerve pains which are healed by Magnesium phosphate are generally of a darting character, like lightning, or shooting [digging], boring,—often with the sensation of drawing [lacing] tightly together; they readily change their location, and are re- lieved by warmth and pressure. Headache, face-ache, toothache, epigastric pains, stomach-ache, and pains in the limbs of this description, I have frequently cured with this remedy. The pains of the stomach [bowels] generally radiate from the umbilicus, and are POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE. 23 eased by pressure with the hand, by warmth, or by doubling up, and are sometimes accompanied by loose motions. (In face-ache [neuralgic or rheumatic] which at its height has an increased flow of tears, Magnesium phosphate is not suit- able, but Sodium chloride.) Iron and Magnesia are, in their action, antago- nistic. By functional disturbance of the iron- molecules, the muscular fibres relax; through the functional disturbance of the magnesium-mole- cules they contract. Therefore, Magnesium phos- phate is the remedy for cramps of the legs (spasms), spasms of the glottis, lockjaw, tetanus, St. Vitus's dance, epilepsy, spasmodic ischury, etc. Farmers give Magnesium phosphate with very prompt results, for spasms and flatulent colic in horses, and in the acute [tympanitic] swellings of cattle. The inflammatory colic of horses requires Ferric phosphate; and if mortifi- cation commence, Potassium phosphate. 3. Potassium Phosphate is a constituent of the brain, the nerves, the muscles, and the blood-corpuscles. A disturbance in the formation of the molecules of this salt causes 24 POTASSIUM PHOSPHATE. (A) In the brain—according to location, exten- sion, or intensity of disturbance, (a) Mental depression, manifesting itself by irritability [vexation] ; over-sen- sitiveness ; lachrymose tendency; timidity, shyness, terror. (B) Softening of the brain, (b) In the nerves, laming pains, mostly felt during rest; better from move- ment without exertion. Feeling of lassitude and exhaustion. (c) In the muscle-cells, fatty metamor- phosis. In the muscular juice, or myosine, putrid decomposition. (d) In the blood-corpuscles, too rapid decay of the same. Therefore, Potassium phosphate cures the following diseased conditions :—septic, scorbutic bleedings, mortification, encephaloid cancer, gan- grenous croup, phagadenic chancre, putrid-smell- ing diarrhoea, adynamic typhoid conditions, etc. It probably will also be found useful in shock of the brain. CALCIUM PHOSPHATE. 25 4. Calcium Phosphate is a constituent of the teeth, the bones, the con- nective-tissues, and the blood-corpuscles. Under the heading " Development of Diseases," are already mentioned rachitis, cranial tabes, gout, pallor, anaemia, chlorosis, as curable by this remedy. It also assists teething and the callus- formation of fractured bones, and is, moreover, the remedy for hydrocephalus. Catarrhs and skin diseases (of a scaly, crusty nature) arising from an anaemic, scrofulous, and gouty diathesis, are also curable with Calcium phosphate. Tubercles of the skin and lupus, as a partial manifestation of scrofula, find a remedy in Calcium phosphate. Those pains which are caused by an anaemic or rheumatic-gouty diathesis, and are generally accompanied by a creeping sensation, numbness, or a feeling of coldness. Those cramps (epilepsy, etc.) which attack scrofulous persons, are not always curable by Magnesium phosphate, in which case Calcium phosphate is to be used. Calcium phosphate is a restorative after acute disease. 26 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 5. Sodium Chloride is a component of the cartilage (gristle), the> mu- cous tissues, the nerves, and the blood-corpuscles. Under " Development of Diseases," it has already been stated that—and why—Sodium chloride cures accumulations of water in the joints, in the tunica vaginalis, the synovial membranes of the knee-cap, etc. A functional disturbance of the molecules of Sodium chloride has also, as a consequence, an increased secretion of tears and saliva—[pyrosis tasteless]; and the increased watery consistency of the brain in acute diseases (typhus, scarlatina, small-pox), manifesting itself in sopor, twitchings, etc., are caused by a disturbance of the mole- cules of the Sodium chloride. Sodium chloride cures, besides these above- named diseases, headache, toothache, face-ache, (neuralgic or rheumatic); Pains of indigestion, if either flow of saliva or increased secretion of tears, vomiting of water or mucus, accompany it; further, catarrhs of all the mucous membranes, with secretion of transparent, frothy, watery mucus; as also watery blisters, which burst and leave thin crusts. CALCIUM FLUORIDE. 27 6. Potassium Chloride corresponds to croupous and diphtheritic exuda- tions. It cures summer Diarrhoea, Diphtheria, membranous Croup, croupous Inflammation of the lungs, fibrous exudation in the interstitial con- nective-tissues (i.e. Mastitis), acute infiltration of the lymphatic glands, infiltrated inflammation of the skin, with or without vesicles (i.e. Erysipelas), etc. Potassium chloride is the surest remedy for many diseases, especially of Eczema which has been developed after vaccination with bad vaccine matter. 7. Calcium Fluoride, or bone-salt, is to be found in the bones and in those epithelial cells which compose the enamel of the teeth. A functional disturbance of the molecules of this salt has, as a consequence, an exudation, which soon hardens and becomes rough on the surface of the bone. Cephalomata can be cured by Calcium fluoride. Fascii, sinews, and capsular-ligaments seem also to contain it, for hard swellings which are located in these parts are cured by it. But Exostosis, Osteoma, and such irregular formations of bone, require Calcium phosphate. 28 SULPHATES, AND SODIUM PHOSPHATE. 8. Silica is a component part of the connective tissues, the epidermis, the hair, and the nails. The effect attributed to it upon brain, spinal marrow, and nerves, must be referred to the connective-tissue covering of the nerve fibres. A functional disturbance of Silica molecules causes a swelling of the corresponding complex of connective-tissue cells. This swelling may remain stationary for some time, and then end in resolution, or suppuration. Whitlow, furuncles, suppurations of glands and joints, deep-seated suppurations of cornea, etc., all fall within the sphere of Silica. Silica cures also suppurations which have their origin in the connective-tissue scaffolding of the bones. Therefore it has been improperly called a bone-remedy. 9-12. Sulphates, and Sodium Phosphate. Although products of the retrograde meta- morphosis, these have important physiological functions to perform. The Sulphates promote the excretion of that water which arises from the combustion (oxida- tion) of the used-up tissue cells. Each one of SULPHATES, AND SODIUM PHOSPHATE. 29 these salts has its special sphere of action, con- nective-tissues, lymphatics, and veins. If Calcium sulphate is lacking in a small por- tion of its domain, suppuration arises. Through deficiency of Potassium sulphate arise yellow, slimy catarrhs, and yellow, sticky secretions, on limited portions of the skin. If Sodium sulphate is lacking, then ensues oedema of the skin; oedematous inflammation of the skin, vomiting of bile, watery bilious diarrhoea. This salt is suited for post-scarlatinal dropsy. Sodium chloride and Sodium sulphate are both regulators of the quantity of water. Sodium chloride regulates and assists the water in leaving the arterial stream. Sodium sulphate regulates the water in the venous stream. Silica and Calcium sulphate heal suppurations which are seated in the connective-tissue. As Silica is an integral part of the connective-tissue cells, the cause of that kind of suppuration exists in the cell-substance; whilst the suppuration which can be cured by Calcium sulphate is caused by engorgement around the connective-tissue channels. The Sodium phosphate cures acid risings, 30 NATURES LIMITATION OF vomiting of sour masses, watery diarrhoea, inflam- mation of conjunctivitis, with a secretion some- what resembling thick sour cream. The characteristic remedies above named are sufficient to cure, in the shortest way, all diseases that, on the whole, are curable. In making this statement I express a conviction, which I have gained in a large practice, during which, for a long time, I have only used these twelve remedies. Those of my readers who are accustomed to use a large number of remedies for diseases, will think it strange to see only these twelve remedies recommended. If, however, one considers that the number of the tissues in the animal organism is very small, and that a small number of inorganic substances promote the functions of the healthy tissue-cells, one will not find it so startling that these few substances can suffice as functional remedies of diseased tissue-cells. The reason that the same remedy is recom- mended for apparently different diseases is that they are histo-pathologically alike. The com- mencement of an inflammation in the meninges, INORGANIC TISSUE-SALTS. 31 in the finger, or in the lungs, requires Ferric phosphate, because in these three cases we have to reduce a hyperaemia which has caused an en- largement [congestion] of blood-vessels. Those to whom my manner of treatment appears too arbitrary must accuse nature, which allows diseases so to develop themselves that such treatment is appropriate. — Short are Nature's ways; small in number the remedies she requires. APPENDIX. SPECIAL INDICATIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF INORGANIC CELL-SALTS. Generally I make use of the sixth centesimal trituration, of which I give a dose every two hours in acute diseases ; in chronic cases, two or three times a day. A dose the size of a pea —say 2-3 grains [taken in water]. GENERAL INDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATIONS. To the first stage (hyperaemia) corresponds Ferric phosphate; to the second (exudation) Potassium chloride; to the third (resolution) Calcium sulphate, or Potassium sulphate. In other words: Give Ferric sulphate until perspiration appears and the fever subsides; > CROUP. 33 Potassium chloride until either recovery ensues, or a lumpy, mattery, bloody-mattery, or yellow slimy secretion appears. To the lumpy, mattery, and bloody-mattery secretion, Calcium Sulphate corresponds ; to the yellow slimy secretion Potassium Sulphate. When an excessive serous exudation is not re-absorbed under the use of Potassium chloride, then Potassium Sulphate or Sodium Chloride must be given. Typhoid Adynamic Symptoms. When, during an acute disease, accompanied by fever (diphtheria, scarlatina, small-pox, etc.), there occur sopor, parched tongue, twitchings, watery vomiting, etc., then Sodium chloride must be given. With sordes, putrid-smelling stools, septic bleedings, etc., Potassium phos- phate. Croup. The chief remedy is Potassium chloride, which, in most cases, will alone cure the disease. If violent fever is present at the commencement, Ferric phosphate must be given. If Potassium chloride does not suffice, then Calcium sulphate must be given. 34 ACUTE ARTICULAR RHEUMATISM. If such cases come under treatment very late, and great weakness, bluish countenance, etc., are present, Potassium phosphate must be given. Inflammation of the Lungs. Ferric phosphate in the first, Potassium chloride in the second, and Calcium sulphate in the third stage. If there is a moist rale, with a loose, loud-sounding rattle of phlegm, and the patient cannot cough up the accumulated mucus, Potassium sulphate, otherwise Sodium chloride has to be given. These remedies are also appli- cable in Bronchitis. Inflammation of the Peritoneum, the Pleura, the Meninges, and Pericardium. The more abundant the perspiration which follows Ferric phosphate given during the first stage of these diseases, the more rapidly Potassium chloride, given as the second remedy, will put an end to the process of disease. Empyema—Calcium sulphate. Acute Articular Rheumatism. Ferric phosphate suits the commencement of the disease, and suffices in. most cases, followed by Potassium chloride. After Potassium chloride, Sodium chloride DIPHTHERIA. 35 and Potassium sulphate fit in. The latter especi- ally corresponds with the wandering rheumatoid pains of the joints. If some remnant of the disease still lingers after the above medication, give Calcium phosphate. Bright's Disease of the Kidney. Ferric phosphate, Potassium chloride, Calcium sulphate, Sodium chloride, Calcium phosphate, and Potassium phosphate, are to be chosen, ac- cording to the accompanying symptoms. Typhus. If at first you give Ferric phosphate, then Potassium chloride, then, at the commencement of the diarrhoea, Calcium sulphate, you lay hold directly upon the anatomico-physiological pro- cesses of the disease, viz. hyperaemia of the intestinal mucous lining, infiltration of the mesenteric glands, cicatrisation of ulcers. Thus the duration of typhus must be considerably shortened by the above medication. Diphtheria. At the commencement of the disease, Ferric phosphate has to be given for the fever accom- panying the severe inflammation of throat; then Potassium chloride, the chief remedy. 36 SCARLET FEVER. If the face becomes pale and puffy, dryness of tongue set in, vomiting of watery fluids, saliva dribbling away, watery diarrhoea, drowsiness, etc., Sodium chloride must be given. Potassium phosphate is indicated in decidedly foul gan- grenous conditions. In convalescence obstinate spots, Calcium phosphate. Diarrhoea and Dysentery. Potassium chloride suffices in most cases; if not, Calcium sulphate, especially when the stools are of a slimy, mattery character. Should dryness of the tongue, delirium, tym- panitis supervene, the stools have a putrid odour, then Potassium phosphate suits; as, also, if there be no symptoms of decay, but pure blood is passed with the stools. If the diarrhoea begins with high fever, Ferric phosphate has first to be given. If crampy, abdominal pains, eased by warmth, pressure, and doubling up—Magnesium phosphate. Pains caused by inflammation, non-intermittent, aggra- vated by pressure upon the abdomen, call for Ferric phosphate. Scarlet Fever. In mild cases, Potassium chloride is alone SMALL-POX. 37 sufficient.—Severe cases may be treated by refer- ence to remarks under the headings " Diphtheria," and "Typhoid adynamic symptoms." Potassium sulphate assists desquamation, and, in most cases, meets the concomitant troubles. Scarlatinal dropsy is quickly cured by Sodium sulphate; and in those rare cases where it does not help, Calcium sulphate is to be given. Measles. Ferric phosphate at first;—later on, such remedies as may be indicated by the eye or cough symptoms. Small-Pox. Potassium chloride is the principal remedy. If adynamic symptoms, and those indicating blood decomposition, arise, Potassium phosphate must be given. Sahvation, sopor, and confluence of pustules require Sodium chloride. Potassium sulphate promotes the falling off of the crusts. Violent fever and considerable hyperaemia of brain at the beginning of the case may require Ferric phosphate. 38 HEAD AND FACE ACHES.

The coating of the tongue does not always wholly influence the choice of a remedy in all 46 VOMITING. affections of the tissue. It has, however, to be taken into consideration in those cases where I have taken note of it in this volume.—If any one who is suffering from a chronic catarrh of the stomach, takes also another (acute) disease, the coating of the tongue will not always have that peculiar appearance which will indicate the re- medy suited to the acute disease. If any disease—particularly of a chronic nature —shows itself without decisive symptoms, then the coating of the tongue will, in most cases, guide in the choice of an appropriate remedy.

The accompanying symptoms : Coating of tongue, etc., must determine the remedy. E 50 ASCARIDES. INTESTINAL WORMS. Haemorrhoids. The principal remedies are Ferric phosphate and Calcium phosphate.—Attendant symptoms may necessitate the use of other remedies as pre- cursory or intercurrent, viz.—Potassium sulphate for a catarrh of the stomach, which is the remedy for such when the coating of the tongue is yellow, slimy. Bleeding piles, Potassium chloride. (Com- pare with Chapter on " Bleeding.") Abdominal Ruptures and Protrusions. For persons otherwise strong, Ferric phosphate.

Mode of administration: One to two grains of the selected powder (of indicated preparation) well dissolved in half a wine- glassful of water, to be taken in one or two doses. In acute cases it may be administered every hour or two ; in chronic cases, two to three times daily. In very acute cases, such as toothache, sciatica, etc., at even shorter intervals. In the case of Magnesium phosphate, where warmth is ap- preciated, hot water may be advantageously given as the medium of medication. If from any reason the patient cannot readily take it in water, the powder may be taken dry upon the tongue, though this is not the preferable mode of administration. 70 THERAPEUTICAL INDEX.
