Hahnemann, in his Frao-- menta,1805, gives symptoms under the heading of " Cuprum vitriolatum," included here under C sulf., and in 1824 contributed to Franz's collection in the Archiv. f.

DIGITOXINUM. An active principle of Digitalis (see note to Digitalinum). Formula, C.21Hg207. Preparation, Triturations. Authority. Proving by Dr. Kopfe with one dose of 2 milligrammes at 10 a.m., Archiv f. Exp. Path, und Pharm., 3, 275. After an hour it caused a sensation of faintness, nausea, discomfort, and slight vertigo. The pulse remained as usual, 80 to 84, and was regular. NotAvithstanding the unpleasant sensatious, I continued Avith my work in the laboratory till one o'clock, after which I took a walk instead of going to dinner, for I had an aversion to every kind of food. The nauseous sensation gradually increased to such a degree that I Avas forced to make an effort to reach the house, in order to avoid vomiting in the street, yet I Avas in no condition to walk rapidly and steadily, for a decided sensation 122 DIGITOXINUM. of Aveakness and loss of poAver rapidly increased, and forced me to take a carriage in order to gain my residence, some distance aAvay. Having reached the house, I immediately went to bed. My pulse at this time (two o'clock) was 58, and intermitted once after 30 to 50 beats ; in other respects it Avas regular. After an hour passed in bed, Avith constantly in- creasing discomfort, the tormenting nausea reached its highest point, and at half past three I vomited a large quantity of dark greenish masses of mucus. Immediately after, I experienced decided relief, Avhich, however, lasted only a quarter of an hour, and gave place to the most excessive nauseous sen- sation. This continued to increase, until after an hour the vomiting Avas repeated violently, with the evacuation of bilious-colored masses of mucus, accompanied, preceded, and folloAved by retchings. The pulse at this time Avas very intermittent and only 40 to the minute; an intermission occurred after every two or rarely three beats. About quarter past five there Avere several very violent attacks of vomiting, with much distressing retching, great paleness and collapsed appearance of the face. About six the pulse showed the following tracing (No. 2), Avith a frequency of 40 to 42 in a minute. This tracing is in marked contrast to the normal; con- cerning the latter (Fig. 1), which sIioavs the usual tricrotic pulse, atten- tion is called to the fact that the second elevation is unusually great, and exceeds more than double the height of the first. The Digitoxin curve shoAvs an intermission after every tAvo beats. Every second elevation of a couple is noticeably smaller than the first, and makes a gradation to the following intermission. The pulse continued of the same frequency and of the same character into the night. The beat Avas felt by me in the chest, so that I could readily count it. Every intermission was recognized by the sensation of oppression and anxiety in the chest Avhich it caused. With these symptoms the prostration and loss of poAver had so far progressed toAA'ards evening that I was not able to leave the bed without the support of another person. On attempting to Avalk or stand, my limbs refused their service. In spite of the greatest exertion of the will, the knees gave out aud I was obliged to catch hold of the wall and furniture to support myself. With these symptoms, remarkable weakness of sight developed, so that the features of my friends seemed to swim and become indistinct, and I could only recognize them by their voices. All the objects in the room seemed to run together Avithout any outlines, so that I could only distinguish some very dark, or bright, or large, or small images in the field of vision. ThereAvith all objects, especially all bright ones, seemed in a slightly yellow light. Above all, the constant and excessive nausea made my condition exceedingly distressing. About eight o'clock in the evening I attempted to take a glass of champagne cooled in ice, for the nausea, but after a few minutes, during Avhich the nausea rapidly increased, I vomited a large quantity of a Avatery, slimy sub- stance, slightly colored Avith bile, followed by much retching. On re- peating the experiment after half an hour, I was obliged to set the Avine aside, ou account of the great retching Avhich it caused. This distressing condition continued the whole night with equal intensity, and alloA\Ted me not a moment's rest. In the morning there had been four attacks of vom- iting : about eleven, one, five, and eight, AA-hich were associated Avith per- sistent efforts to vomit and evacuation of mucus colored Avith bile. Im- mediately after an attack of vomiting, there Avas.always relative relief for a short time. The same condition continued the Avhole of the next day Avith equal intensity, only actual vomiting did not take place, although the nauseous sensation did not leave me for a moment, and there Avere fre- Proving ot Digitoxim i'.—Normal pulse.

Carbonated waters of all kinds and the usual drinking-Avater, from Avhich I hoped for relief of this distressing symptom, had an opposite effect; they always aggravated it for some time. In other respects, as I have said, the symptoms remained the same. The pulse, Avhose every beat I Avas still able to feel and count in my thorax, and Avhose e\rery intermission I Avas conscious of, from the sensation of un- easiness and a kind of slight prsecordial anxiety which it caused, Avas very easily excited by the slightest excitement or physical exertion. During complete physical and mental rest, the pulse was 54 in a minute, and in- termitted every few beats. The pulse-curve of this day (Fig. 3), shoAved at first sight great irregularity in every particular not only in the strength of the different contractions, as exhibited by the varying heights of the AA*aves, but also in respect to the more or less hard character of the pulse, as shown in the more or less blunted waves, and also lastly, in the irreg- ular wave following the beat, Avhich is seen in the varying size of the in- tervals between the beats. The second night was very restless, with partial sleep, which Avas interrupted four times in one hour by confused anxious dreams and frightful fantasies. The third day, which I still passed in bed, was much more tolerable than the preceding, since the distressing nausea had moderated and I was able to drink a little water. The weak- ness of vision, hoAvever, still continued ; and the yelloAv vision Avas in no wise diminished. The pulse continued through the Avhole day about 60, still very irregular, and intermitted eATery 40 to 50 beats. In the evening I attempted, though against my appetite, to eat some bits of bread, and did not vomit, as I feared. The folloAving night Avas similar to the pre- ceding, though more quiet, and Avith longer and more sound sleep. A part of the fourth day I passed out of bed. Subjectively I experienced much relief. Though I had no longing for food, eating Avas not repugnant to me, and from time to time I took a small quantity of meat and drank as much AA-ater as I pleased. The pulse had regained its rhythm, Avas weak and soft, and very seldom intermitted. After a sound sleep that night I began, on the fifth day, to take short walks, leaning on the arm of another. My power of vision had not yet returned, and all objects seemed in a yelloAv light. The symptoms gradually disappeared during the three suc- ceeding days. With sound sleep and extraordinary appetite, my physical strength and normal vision returned, and objects appeared again in their natural light. DIOSCOREA. Dioscorea villosa, Linn.

The effects may be described in the same terms as apply to the effects of alcoholic liquids, au exhilaration and ex- citement of the mind, Avhich gradually passes into a state of narcotism, with stupefaction,4.—Violently excited,29.—He became furiously excited, and it required several persons to control him; he was forced upon a bed, but on being aAvakened he again became very much excited; indeed, so much so that cold water was dashed over him,32.—She became much ex- ETHER. 221 cited and talked strangely; afterAvards was seized with delirium and car- ried home in that state; she remained so, except at short intervals, for three days ; friends afraid to leave her,21.—Every indication of great cere- bral excitement,19.—There Avas altogether so much excitement that his at- tendant was alarmed,8.—Became delirious about an hour after she got home; this lasted all night,20.—In attempting to walk upstairs in the evening of the third day, she stopped suddenly, screamed so as to alarm the family, and complained of faintness and the pain in her head; some aberration of mind Avas noAV manifest, and in the course of the night she became delirious, screaming and evincing alarm at imaginary dangers; more comfortable next morning under remedies prescribed, but during all the day she gave decided proofs of mental incoherence, Avhich continued to increase ; Avhen any subject Avas introduced, she spoke rationally upon it for a moment, and then referred to some other, frequently to the experi- ment Avith Ether; her nights became sleepless, and Avere spent in scream- ing and loud talking upon all subjects,"tintil she sank rapidly into a coma- tose condition,30.—She conversed incoherently at intervals, introducing strange topics, and had sometimes been observed to laugh immoderately without any assignable cause, for several days before I saAV her; Avhen I visited her, she was capable of conversing upon any subject, introduced in so rational a manner that the hallucination might have been overlooked by an uninterested observer; I noticed, however, that she conversed Avith clearness only so long as the subject was kept before her mind Avith some care,31.—[10.] He pretty soon fell into a state of intoxication, during which he talked extravagant nonsense, danced about the room, laughed, and ap- peared to be very much pleased; but his condition Avas far removed from narcosis in its ordinary sense,41.—The sensations induced are almost uni- versally described as pleasurable, and much resemble those resulting in the early stages of alcoholic intoxication,5.—By some, pleasant dreams, inde- scribable but delightful sensations, rapid flights through the air, gorgeous visions, and unearthly music,11.—Most agreeable and even most sensual dreams; Avomen sometimes pass into a state of ecstasy; some see God and angels ; others fancy themselves again with the companions of their child- hood,1.—He immediately lost consciousness, and had a host of lively illu- sions, principally consisting, it seems, of theologico-mystical conceptions, in Avhich, however, as is the case in opium and hashish smoking, there Avas a complete disregard of matter, time, and space; he believed he had travelled through Avhole worlds and had lived for an infinity of time, and yet, when he awoke, his candle showed that he could scarcely have been narcotized a quarter of an hour; the Ether bottle was empty, although he did not remember taking it more than once in his hand. When he re- peated the experiment, the dream-world into which he lulled himself Avas not so splendid, not so rich in colors and images, as that of the first nar- cosis ; and however often he endeavored to conjure it back, by larger and larger doses, it Avould not 'reappear,41.—The character of his hallucina- tions was, from the first, and has always remained, exclusively mystic, free from any erotic or other admixture, and has thus remained dependent on his prevailing disposition,41.—The little child dreams of his playthings; the sportsman is following the hounds or catching imaginary salmon ; the gamekeeper Ave have known to dream of a conflict with poachers ; the laborer that he is getting drunk in a pothouse of which he is an habitue ; in females, especially of a Avarrn temperament, emotions have been mani- fested which are ill adapted for general inspection ; in some it was evident 222 ETHER. by their movements that they were under the influence of the highly developed sensations of the venereal organs,33.—A Provencal talked about his native country,1.—A horse-jockey dreamed that some one Avas trying to steal his horse,1.—A Avoman in labor fancied herself in the conjugal abode, and called to her side a student, whom she took for her husband,1. —[20.] Frightful dreams ; a man fancied he heard the ringing of his own funeral knell,1.—She said: I felt, when the tooth Avas coming out, as if I was having a horrid dream. [She gave a scream during the operation.],18. —She had a dream, aud thought she was at the bar of judgment pleading for mercy, and that God Almighty was punishing her for her sins,22.—As with other narcotics, so even more with Ether, the disposition to hallucina- tive action appears to present individual differences; and a susceptibility of this kind, such as our patient has possessed, in a more or less distinct form, from the first day till now, may well be attributed in part to an alienated direction of his disposition or development—to a slight psychosis; this he has himself acknowledged,41.—Loquacity,1.—He muttered like a man in- toxicated,29.—Greater inclination towards silence than formerly,31.—When the numbness seizes the subject, a great tendency to gayety is generally shown; there is spasmodic, jerking laughter, which is followed by copious tears,1.— The greatest variety of the effects upon self-consciousness, and of the degree in which the recognition of surrounding -objects is retained, are reported ; Avith many, the hilarity induced quite equals thaj; produced on the inspira- tion of Nitrous Oxide,5.—Anxiety,17.—[30.] Very low-spirited, and fearful of some disease ; and was still nervous and desponding after two months,35. —Fright and delirium,17.—Intellectual. The intellect is both tranquil- lized and fortified,39.—Judgment was retained unimpaired to such a degree that he lost none of the sensations he wished to analyze; moreover, when the anaesthesia was most complete, so that he could prick himself without feeling it, he willed to Avalk, and did walk,1.—The intellect is often dis- ordered, but the subject does not always lose self-consciousness. In one case, the experimenter retained full possession of his faculties; while giv- ing way to convulsive laughter, he himself compared it to the barking of a dog, and was quite aware that he was acting foolishly,1.—For some time, much confused,18.—Answered questions with a weak voice, though remem- bering nothing Avhich had passed,38.—Semi-consciousness; the patient raised himself to a sitting posture and looked about him Avith a vacant stare, the conjunctiva being very red and suffused,12.—Although he seemed to be aAvare that people were talking to him, he had no consciousness of what was really passing around him,12.—She lost consciousness in three or four minutes after inhaling ; felt no pain,20.—[40.] She became stupid, Avith a Aveak pulse and heavy stertorous breathing ; her strength failed more and more, and she died fifteen hours after the operation,38.—A state of almost profound stupor,2.—In many, as total a temporary suspension of all the mental faculties and cerebral functions as in the most profound sleep, nothing being remembered, after the feAv first inhalations, until the period of returning consciousness,11. — At the first trial, after breathing fifteen or twenty minutes, she became comatose for two hours; at the second trial, she became comatose in four minutes, recovering rapidly,37. Head.—Confusion. In a great majority of cases, the only effects afterwards are, slight muzziness of the head, sometimes amounting to head- ache, odor and taste of Ether in the mouth and nasal passages,3.— Ver- tigo. Vertigo and conscious loss of muscular poAver preceding insensi- bility,11.—Dizziness,35.—Dizziness, just enough to amount to slight vertigo ETHER. 223 when the standing posture has been attempted,39.—Giddiness and debility made it difficult for her to Avalk (after three days),30.—Slight degree of gid- diness at times during the day,27.—General Head. [50.] Head drops on one side,33.—Head Avas throAvn back, as if to relieve slight stiffness of the muscles of the neck,31.—Determination of blood to the brain and eyes,17. —Symptoms of meningitis, etc., persisted in spite of all treatment, and he died (fifth morning),32.—Head hot,10".—Pain about the head,35.—She com- plained of some pain in the head,31.—The inhalation was attended with very painful sensations in the head and partial blindness, Avhich lasted three days,30.—She complained of great pain in her head, which was re- lieved by free cupping,2.—Intense pain in the head,10.—[60.] Aching of head and dizziness for a few minutes, when senses returned,20.—Headache more or less considerable for some hours, and even for a day or two,3.— Headache, more or less violent,1.—Forehead.

Pupils dilated,101*.—Pupils dilated and fixed, the eyes turned up- Avards (after ten minutes),29.—[80.] Pupils dilated, fixed, and did not act during the whole time,22.—The pupils became Avidely dilated, this state being apparently not preceded by contraction (in seven minutes, Avhen 150 cubic centimetres (about four ounces) of Ether had been used),41.—Pupil oscillates, with a tendency to turn upwards and inwards,33.—Contracted pupil,9.—The iris seems to be generally expanded, sometimes contracted,3. — Vision. Impaired vision (after third day),30.—Dimness of sight,1.— She complained of obscure vision, describing it as a mist or thin cloud be- fore her eyes,31.

Inferior Extremities.—A slight imperfection in her gait termin- ated in paralysis of the lower extremities, after some time, and she became helpless,31.—Severe cramps in the legs,12. General Symptoms.—His whole aspect was so indicative of misery, that he Avould have beeu put down as one of the wretchedly poor, were it not for the unusual contrast between his aspect and his distinctly formed speech, and for the fact that (as was at first thought) there Avas a remark- ably strong smell of alcohol in his breath ; the patient, hoAvever, explained that he did not smell of alcohol but of ether, and the peculiar sweetness and mildness of Ether vapor was then easily recognized, notwithstanding its strength,41.—His appearance altogether was so distressing, as to excite great alarm in the minds of the bystanders,12.—General appearance like one going into a state of epilepsy,18.—To appearance, the energies of mind and body Avere nearly extinct,2.—The individual, to the common eye, seems to be sinking into the sleep of death,3.—Perfect quiet,33.—[190.] Agitation of the system,17.—An affection of the nervous system approaching apo- plexy,16.—Hysterical excitement in women for some hours, and even for a day or two,3.—In the evening (after several hours) he complained of some difficulty about his chest, when, all at once, he fell from his chair, exhib- ited great restlessness, tossing about of the arms and legs, with great diffi- culty of breathing, but no loss of consciousness, declaring all the time he could not get his breath for the Ether, and that he should die; his hands and feet were said to be cold; various restoratives were applied in vain ; it Avas evident that it was a case of violent hysterics, unusually well marked in a male; he would laugh and joke, then express fears of impending suffo- cation, with jactitation, declaring that as vapor of Ether was heavier than air, he ought to be held up and allow it to run out of his lungs; several doses of Morphine had no effect; it was only after several hours that he could be quieted ; he had never previously exhibited any tendency to hys- teria,36.—She was in a state of unconsciousness, and became quite unman- ageable ; she required two persons to hold her; I lanced her gum, without any sign of pain, and she recovered her sensibility immediately ; she again inhaled, and, Avhen under the influence of the Ether, some excitement re- turned, and on draAving the tooth with the claAv, she cried "Oh !" but, on coming to herself, stated she had had no pain,23.—He appeared to have much suffering, throwing his body almost out of the chair,19.—Muscular vol. iv.—15 226 ETHER. tremors,41.—Trembling of the Avhole frame when consciousness returned,20. —Subsultus till twelve hours before death (after three days),30.—General shocks, involving all the muscles of the trunk,1.—[200.] Violent nervous attack,38.—Convulsions,7.;—Convulsions supervened, attended Avith slight stertorous breathing, and other symptoms of an alarming character; he gradually recovered, but suffered from the effects for some time afterAvards,8. —Limbs and trunk Avere strongly convulsed for five minutes; limbs re- laxed (after ten minutes),29.—Incipient convulsions,9.—After the operation, she bent her body backAvards and sank out of the chair; she began to cry, and consciousness returned, but in a short time she again lapsed into a state of unconsciousness, Avith convulsive movements of the muscles; she again got better and attempted to.walk, but could not; the convulsions returned; there Avere convulsive movements of the muscles of the left side of the face; the angle of the mouth was draAvn up\A7ard; after half an hour the convul- sions became stronger, spasmodic tAvitchings of the muscles of the face more frequent and more violent,10.—Slight spasm (tenth day),30.—Opisthotonos,10. —He was perfectly cataleptic; after applications of cold, and administering brandy and Avater, these cataleptic symptoms were succeeded by severe hysteria, with about the same degree of consciousness as is usual in that disease,12.—Muscles universally relaxed,14.—[210.] General muscular re- laxation, affecting the limbs, also the eye, the ball moving about and evad- ing the needle or the cataract knife; also the muscles of the perinaeum dur- ing labor,1.—The voluntary muscles become relaxed ; the jaw falls down ; the arms hang doAvn; the eyes roll upward under the upper lid,3.—The muscles lose their power of retraction (during amputation) ; they are also pale and discolored,1.—Temporary depression of the vital powers,3.—Weak- ness,3541.—Weakness, and disposition to faint on the slightest attempt to walk, lasting several days (after two days),36.—General prostration,17.— Felt nothing for several minutes, but on a sudden appeared to lose all muscular power,12.—He attempted to rise, but tottered like a drunken man, and suffered a degree of exhaustion and giddiness which lasted until he was taken to bed,12.—Objective.

Jobert and others have attempted to indicate three stages in its effects: first, that of incoherence, agitation or delirium, as the case may be; second, acceleration of the pulse, with loss of sensibility and loss of voluntary poAver; third, exhaustion and coldness of the surface,6.— The average duration of the state of sleep or insensibility may be stated to be about the same as the period required to induce it, or a little less, say from tAvo to four minutes; the period, however, occasionally exceeds this, extending sometimes to half an hour or even an hour; the awakening is sudden and complete,3.—Several persons Avho were to be operated on next day, were subjected to preparatory inhalations, by which they AA7ere com- pletely narcotized; sensation, voluntary motion, and consciousness were abolished, yet, when repeated at the operating time, the experiment Avas a failure,1.—Great uneasiness,38.—Remarkable restlessness, in the period of reaction, ceasing in twenty-four or forty-eight hours,1.—Evident restless- ETHER. 227 ness, mostly of the head and upper extremities,31.—[230.] So much rest- lessness, that it was impossible to perform the intended operation,1.—Sub- jective. In some refractory subjects, sensibility Avas heightened instead of being depressed,1.—The next day she inhaled it ten minutes prior to the operation, Avhich lasted half an hour, and during which she manifested great pain, declaring afterwards that she felt every cut made; she was conscious from this time until her decease forty hours afterwards, but spoke in a low, faint voice,37.—Perception of external objects fails,33.—Skin Avas not sensible on being sharply pinched,22.—Complete and instantaneous abolition of tactile sensibility; this effect is not constant, but is pretty general; it is accompanied by a diminution of voluntary contractility; it affects the most deeply seated parts of the nervous system,1.—The functions of the brain and nervous system are suspended, sensation is annihilated, and the patient, to all intents and purposes, for the time being, is a sense- less corpse,14.—Loss of sensibility; but drunkenness, attended by vomiting and other symptoms not consequent on inhalation, supervened in both cases,15.—The instant the knife touched her, she cried out, put her hands down to the part, and betrayed other marks of uneasiness; after half a minute to a minute, the operation was proceeded Avith, and signs of appar- ent suffering Avere not to be mistaken, so much so, that it induced some gentlemen present to imagine that the operation Avas felt, and the patient AA-as aAvare of it; after the operation Avas completed, and on awakening to a state of consciousness, and being asked if she suffered any pain, she expressed no knoAvledge of any,22.—One person becomes as impassible as the subject on the dissecting-room table; another talks incoherently or mirthfully, replies to questions or obeys instructions; others utter exclamations of pain, which they afterwards retain no reminiscence of having felt; and others, again, declare they have suffered pain, but felt themselves powerless for its expression ; finally, in not a few, ungovernable, violent convulsive actions, quite adArerse to the performance of any delicate operation, take place; with some, an utter oblivion is induced; while others, whilst undergoing all the apparent tortures of a prolonged dissection, are revelling in the realms of memory and the fields of imagination,5.—[240.] Ill, and much dejected (third evening),20.—General malaise,41.—After repeated experi- ments, a general malaise replaces the agreeable feeling experienced at first,1. —His sensations were so dreadful, that he would rather undergo any amount of pain than submit to the same again, which he could compare only to a state of utter helplessness and impending dissolution,12.—He felt irresistibly disposed to lie doAvn and get his head upon the ground,12.—He seemed to take leaA^e of the external world, but experienced a dreadful sensation of universal tremor, and yet a perfect fixedness of the limbs,12.—Sensation of numbness, beginning at the toes, and affecting, in succession, the legs, arms, loins, and genitals; it extends to the head, aud is then accompanied Avith a sense of heat, as from intoxication,1.—By a feAv, a sense of great oppres- sion, resembling nightmare,11.—The distressing symptoms continued for more than an hour,12. Skin.—The skin of the face, as well as that of the chest, of a violet-red color (after ten minutes), afterwards livid,29. Sleej).—[250.] After inhalation, all the usual phenomena of the deep- est sleep supervene almost suddenly, gliding often into the profoundness of sopor, and verging occasionally upon, if not actually lapsing into, coma,3.

Not being perfectly Avell, there existed either a recoil or dicrotic wave in the preliminary tracing, which in thirty min- utes seemed rather to become more prominent, and, but for the records that follow, might be at once set doAvn as a true dicrotous Avave, as at this time there will also be seen diminution of compressibility, as shown by diminished amplitude under the same pressure; the prominence of the waves, whatever its explanation, must be ascribed to a morbid condition, viz., that produced by the influence of the poison administered ; the pulse at this interval has reached a minimum as to frequency, and in ten minutes more shows slight impairment of rhythm; the new dose of ten drops ex- hibits its first influence in the tracings in thirty minutes, by increased arte- rial tension and nervous stimulation, followed hoAvever in five minutes by diminution of both, and great decrease in frequency; from this time on to the end of an hour the tension in the arterial system slowly increased, although the frequency remained nearly the same, and after one hour and a half the appearance of some obstruction, as showu in the flattening of the conjoined apices of the first and second events, was manifest, and irregu- larity of impulse aud of rhythm exhibited the effects of the poison upon the heart. The simple deduction from this investigation, apart from what is already known of the remedy, lies in this, that while reducing the fre- quency of the piilse, it does so with an increase of arterial tension, and after aAvhile impairment of the heart's action, indicating a toxic influence upon the nervous system/4.—Some depression of the pulse/'.—Pulse very uni- formly depressed, and rendered less frequent by 10 to 20 beats per minute, within the last five or ten minutes, if the subject remains quiet, but subject to great variations from exercise; in one case the pulse increased from 60 to 70 in the first five minutes, but in the next trial it Avas diminished 10 beats in five minutes/.—Within a few minutes, sometimes within two or three, a marked depression of the pulse, which becomes 10, 15, or 20 beats less in a minute if quiet; greatly disturbed by movement,10.—Within a few min- utes (sometimes two or three) a marked depression of the pulse is observed, with a diminution of 10, 15, or 20 beats per minute, but this only in a state of rest; Avhen moving it is variable/5.—Pulse slow and full, or slow and soft,13.—Pulse slow and Aveak/.—Pulse 100, regular, but weak/6.— [390.] Pulse, when sitting, 76 at 11 a.m. (third day),6.—Pulse 72 in the evening (sixth day)/.—Pulse 65 in the forenoon (eleventh day)/.—After writing awhile, pulse 64 to 68 at 11.30 p.m. (seventh day),6.—On lying down, pulse 54 to 60; when sitting up, 64 to 68, in the afternoon ; when sitting, 72, and ahvays full and strong, as usual, iu the evening (third HOLDEN'S EXPERIMENT AVITH GELSEMIUM.

Pain in vertex, increased by stooping, and attended by increased vertigo (after second dose, fifth day)/.—While reading, a feeling of fulness, pressure from within out- Avards, in vertex and occiput; at the same time the scalp seemed to burn ; when I read earnestly, concentrating my attention, all these sensations van- ished ; but if I turned my attention from the book to my hand they were HELONIAS. 567 instantly perceived ; I found that I could get rid of them or bring them on just as I liked (after four hours, first day)/.—Great pressure on the vertex; it seems to return every afternoon (eighth and ninth days)/. Eye.—It seemed as if the pupil admitted too much light, although upon examination it did not appear to be dilated (after two hours)/.—[20.] The sight is affected; there is a sensation of much light, accompanied by indis- tinct vision, and on sudden aud considerable motion of the head the pa- tient is almost blind/.—If I turned my head suddenly around I became almost blind (after tAvo hours)/-—Much exertion produces complete blind- ness for the time being/.—On walking out, before I had proceeded two hundred yards I became blind.

Stool.—Slight purging, with a burning sensation in the bowels/.—Tavo stools; very unusual, as my bowels are always "A 1" (third day)/.—Just after breakfast (my usual habit), stool, Avhich is a little loose; one hour after, another, yellow and mushlike (fifth day)/.—Two small brown stoola (eighth day)/.—YelloAv and mushlike stool (sixth day)/.—Morning stool was barely consistent enough to retain its shape (seventh day)/.—Stool is first half hard, second half soft; first half dark-brown, second light-yellow (fourteenth day)/.—A peculiar stool; sensation as if each lump of faeces had the shape of a large minnie bullet, which passed from the anus the big end first; the anus seemed to be much distended for an instant, and then out fleAv a fecal mass just as a pumpkin-seed shoots from the fingers; the stool consisted of four lumps which made their exit separately, but as fast as they could follow each other, for it seemed as if each single one had to " work its passage" by forcing upon the anus; in the evening (fourth day)/. Urinary Organs.—Kidneys. [60.] A great deal of weariness, and feeling of weight in the region of the kidneys, and with much more general fatigue than usual, in the afternoon and evening (fourth day)/.— Pain in the kidneys, which is followed by albuminuria, indicating conges- tion, and large discharges of urine, with slight increased specific gravity/. —A sensation as if my kidneys were two bags of hot water; this feeling was so distinct, that I felt certain I could have traced the area occupied by these organs by following the outlines of the burning (fifth day)/.—It seems as if the kidneys ache at 10 p.m. (eighth day)/.— Urethra.

Kidneys somewhat stimulated, and a larger amount than usual of clear, light-colored urine has been voided during the past twelve hours, in the evening (second day)/.—Every time I urinate I seem to completely empty the bladder, yet when I have put the "indefinite arti- cle" back in my breeches, out spurts a quantity of urine; no matter how much I endeavor to contract the bladder, this extra leak happens every time I micturate (sixth day)/.f—Since the proving, the presence of a de- posit of the amorphous phosphates in the urine is the exception, and not, as previously, the rule of my life/.— Urine. Urine had a faintly alkaline reaction before the proving; neutral (after four hundred and eighty min- utes, sixth day); strongly acid (seventh day)/.—[70.] The design of this whole experiment was, if possible, to induce saccharine or albuminous urine. From the specific gravity, it will be seen that there is little chance of finding either. The test by heat alone would have led to the supposition that albumen existed, from the flocky curdling of the phosphates, but Nitric acid never gave an albuminous precipitate/.—The sugar was sought for with Fehling's test, freshly prepared, aud in\Tariably with negative re- t To this day, February 4th, 1871 (nearly three years), I have not overcome this weakness. As I was ever very "sure on the trigger," I am the more willing to ascribe this to the Helonias. In functional derangements of the prostate, it will be well to bear this remedy in mind, for if this prostatic freak obtains and is attended with somewhat frequent and profuse urination, the urine being very pale and watery, or containing a deposit of the amorphous phosphates, Helonias promises fairly. I may here add, that a close examination reveals no enlargement of the prostate in my case. HELONIAS DIOICA.

Jones, Amer. Obs. 1871, p. 178. I took 15 minims of Helonias dioica, the mother tinct , in 4 oz. of water, at 4 p.m. (i d.); 30 min. mother tinct. at 12 m., 1 grain of resinoid Helonin at 3 p.m. (2 d.); 2 gr. of Helonin at 11 a.m., 4 gr. at 4.20 p.m. (3 d.) ; 12 gr. of Helonin at 3 p.m. (4 d.); 160 min. mother tinct. at 10.30 am (5 d ); 480 min. of mother tinct. at 12 m. (6 d.); 540 min. mother tinct. at 11 a.m. (7 d ) HELONIAS. 569 suits,'.—The urine was carefully examined with the microscope throughout the whole research, and the results show that the action of Helonias upon the kidney is purely functional. There is no evidence of any epithelial desquamation, or degeneration, and Helonias, as a renal remedy, may be classed with Cantharides, but not with Arsenic or Phosphorus,7.—So far as my experiment is concerned, these three facts are sufficient to justify the job ; the other fact, that Helonias can render a neutral or an alkaline urine acid is a clear gain,7.—I think it must be allowed that Helonias is some- what diuretic; a daily average of 46.347 ounces is certainly a plus for one of my stature and weight. I do drink water freely, but I "chew tobacco," and my spittoou will testify that the salivary glands do extra duty. I think the primary action of Helonias is to reduce the renal excretion. When this remedy is in full action, the kidneys have an even burning feel, and they ache; evidence, I take it, of renous congestion, retarded blood flow, hence the urinary plus,1.—On March 28th, 29th, and 30th (fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the proving), 1380 minims in all were taken. A glance at Table II will show the effect upon the renal excretion. It decreases from 57? ounces to 24 ounces 3 drachms. Three days' time are required with the doses takeUj then the drug is suspended, and in the next three days the quantity of urine increases from 24 ounces 3 drachms to 73 ounces; a plus of nearly 50 ounces. On the following day, it falls from 73 ounces to 47^. Such variations are beyond even the maximum of physiological oscillation. On the 26th, I dined at 12, emptied the bladder at 1 p.m., and again at 2. The rate of excretion was "2\ ounces in an hour. On the 29th, I repeated this process, and found the rate to be 1\ ounces in an hour. On the latter date, at 12 m., I had taken 480 minims of the tincture. Possibly this phenomenon of renal stimulation may be ascribed to the alcohol. However, as the tincture was diluted with thrice its quantity of water, it is as probable that the stimulation is due to the Helonias. According to Bocker and Hammond, alcohol lessens the water of the urine, and this must be borne in mind in estimating the downward slope of the quantity line for the 29th, 30th, and 31st. The decrease begins on the 29th, and reaches the minimum on the 31st, the whole quantity eliminated being 128^-ounces. The increase began on April 1st, and reached the maximum on April 3d, the whole quantity 163£ ounces. The "reaction" is plus. These quantities added, give 48.55 ounces as the daily mean, another plus. As a like quantity of water was drank daily, and as no change in the tem- perature of the weather occurred to explain this plus by skin action, I am disposed to ascribe it to the drug. If we assume 45 ounces as my daily rate of excretion, which is certainly liberal, we shall find that nine of the nineteen days give a quantity below this, while the remaining ten are above it. The nine minimum days give, as a total, 350| ounces, which is 38-^ ounces per diem. The ten maximum days give 551| ounces, 55^ ounces daily. If we take enough from the maximum, ten days' quantity, to bring the minimum, nine days' quantity, up to the mean of 45 ounces per diem, we still have a plus of 46| ounces. That Helonias is a diuretic in the same sense as Apocynum cannabinum, I am not prepared to affirm; that it is a renal stimulant, I think may be safely assumed. Let not the term stimu- lant mislead. The Helonias renal stimulation is a condition of debility, renous paresis, the result of previous arterial tonic contraction,7.—Helonias lowers the specific gravity. A mean of 1.01571 for nineteen consecutive days is not normal. Suppose that, on account of the experimenter's seden- tary habits, we assume 1.018 as the normal specific gravity of his urine, we 570 HELONIAS. then find that under the Helonias action it is for fourteen days of the nine- teen below this, and that for seven of these fourteen days it is at 1.014 for two, 1.013 for three, and 1.012 for two. A glance at Table II will show that the depression of the specific gravity is not directly dependent upon the quantity of urine excreted. On different days we have 73.572 and 47.7 ounces, each of 1.013 specific gravity; 46, 43.4, aud 24.3 ounces of 1.020; 42.3, 39.4, 37.2, and 36.5 ounces of 1.017. The consideration of this leads us to the urea. As the daily average, according to Table II, exceeds the "physiological amount" by nearly 50 grains per diem, one would say that the primary action of Helonias is to increase the elimination of urea. A glance at Table II will show that on only seven of the nine- teen days did the urea fall below the daily rate of 345.94 grains, and the greatest minus will be found to coincide with the days in which a great amount of alcohol was taken. In three days, 28th, 29th, 30th (of March ), 1380 minims of tincture were drank, and in the urine of the 29th, 30th, and 31st, the effects of the alcohol is shown in a minus of 130.58 grains of urea. On twelve of the nineteen days there is a plus of urea, which ex- tends from 9.76 to 215.26 grains daily. So far, then, as these data go, we must believe that Helonias primarily increases the elimination of urea,7. Sexual Organs.—Great uterine hsemorrhage came during the prov- ing, and continued until the medicine was discontinued,4.—(An intense irritation of the external labia and pudendum, which were puffed, hot, red, and burned and itched terribly; so intense was this irritation, that she could not prevent herself from scratching with her nails until the surface bled; every morning the cutaneous surface would fall off in thin, transpar- ent exfoliations; the mucous membrane of the labia was red, swollen, and covered with a white, curdy deposit, like aphthse; the speculum showed the inflammation to reach one-third the length of the vagina),6.

Inferior Extremities.—A burning, or rather a warm numbness in the legs, most marked in the knees; (it was like the Aconite anaesthesia, but not so intense); it seemed to begin at the tendo Achillis of each leg, streaming upwards, and was very marked over the region of each gas- trocnemius ; at times my legs feel almost as numb as they have done from a ten-minim dose of Fleming's tincture of Aconite (fifth and sixth days),7.—Severe rheumatic pains in the right hip-joint, more during motion (seventh day),3.—Painful aching in right ankle-joint as if a wedge were driven in ; this lasted until I fell asleep at night (second hour after second dose, second day); although disagreeably painful it did not interfere with locomotion (after second dose, third day),7.—Numbness in my feet, which goes off' by motion, and is only felt when sitting still (sixth day),7.
