THE  EDITOR'S PREFACE.
In the present volume we have again added the nosological portion
of the new work of Drs. Noack and  Trinks to the symptoms
recorded by Hahnemann, and we shall do so in all the subsequent
volumes of the  Chronic Diseases, and  the Materia Medica Pura.
There is nothing new in the symptoms furnished  by Noack and
Trinks ; they are the same as Hahnemann's ; but the nosological
portion of  their work is interspersed with many valuable remarks
and statements derived from experience, which are highly interest-
ing to the practitioner, and a knowledge of which is absolutely
necessary to the successful treatment of many forms of disease.

PREFACE,
 A few remarks relative to the best mode of exhibiting
   drugs in chronic maladies.

 Since I last addressed the public on the subject of Ho-
 moeopathy, I have  had an opportunity  of improving my
 experience relative to the best mode of administering reme-
 dial agents.   I  here l;»y before  my  readers my views on
 this subject.
   There is such * vast difference among patients  as re-
 gards  irritabilit/- ^ge, mental and physical constitution, vital
 energies, anc' especially the nature  and intensity of dis-
 ease, (soir^ patients being  affected with a naturally simple
 and rec'»t» others with a naturally simple but old disease,
 some, with complicated symptoms, others again, and tl.is
 for*i is the worst of all, exhibiting a monstrous combina-
 tion  of medicinal and natural symptoms of disease)  that a
corresponding difference in the  treatment  of disease and
the exhibition of doses  becomes a natural and necessary
consequence.  We  know   that a  small globule  of the
thirtieth potency laid dry upon  the tongue, or smelling of
a few globules of that same poiency is the weakest dose
which  can be  administered and  that its  action is propor-
tionately short, and yet, even this sma^ dose  is sufficient
to produce curative effects, and  even to  stimulate highly
irritable patients.
  As regards  the  difference in  the  treatment of disease,
I can do nothing more than merely allude to it here.   For
the modifications which the  treatment of every special case
                           1 
11
PREFACE
requires, I have to rely upon the industry  and the correct
observation of the able and skilful practitioner ; they can-
not be exhibited in a sort of tabular arrangement for the
benefit of the ignorant and the careless.
   I know from experience, and my  followers know like-
wise  that the best and most efficient mode of exhibiting
remedial agents in important cases, acute as well as  chro-
nic, especially the latter, is to dissolve the  globule or the
globules in from seven to twenty table-spoonfuls of water,
and to give in acute diseases a table-spoonful of  this solu-
tion every six, four, two hours, or  even every  hour and
half-hour, according as the  danger is  more or less immi-
nent  ; or to administer only a tea-spoonful, if  the patients
 should be very weak  or young.
    In inveterate chronic diseases, 1 have been  in  the habit
 of giving a  table-spoonful of such a solution every  day,
 sometimes every two days.
    Inasmuch  as   water, even distilled \V\ter, gets  soon
 spoiled  and  the  power of  the  drug  is correspondingly
 weakened or even destroyed, I add some spir"rS  0f wine,
 or in case this should affect the patient, I mix lh» solution
 with a few pieces of hard charcoal.  By  this latter means
 I attain my object, except that  by shaking  the solqjon
 which has to be done every time the dose is to be adminis-
 tered, the liquid  gradually assumes a blackish tinge.
    Before proceeding any  farther, I wish  to  observe  that
 our vital forces are not affected with the  same  benefit by
 two  or more successive doses of the  same  remedy.   By
 administering a  second dose of the same remedy and  po-
 tency directly after  the first, the good effects of the latter
 are not only injured, but medicinal  symptoms are evoked
 in the organism  which complicate, impede, or even nullify
 the  treatment.   Hence  the  numerous  contradictions of
 homoeopathic physicians,  relative to the  repetition   of
 doses.
    By shaking the solution before the dose is administered 
PREFACE.
Ill
the dynamic power of the remedy is modified and a new
relation  is established between the  vital forces  and the
remedy  which may in this way be given a great number
of times  in  succession,  even at,  short  intervals, for the
benefit of the patient.
  To modify the dynamic power  of the drug, it is  suffi-
cient to  shake the flask containing the solution, five or six
times.
   In case the first dose  should  act too powerfully, it is
proper to wait a few days  before exhibiting  the  second.
The solution  may be continued in this way as long as the
remedy  produces good effects.  When the whole of it has
been used, then anew solution may be similarly prepared,
using  however the precaution of taking a lower potency,
for instance  the twenty-fourth, if the  thirtieth had been
used first.  This second solution may  be continued  as
lono- as  the improvement lasts.   Should however new or
medicinal symptoms appear, then it is time to  select  a new
remedy.  Or, if the  original symptoms of the disease be-
come  aggravated even by the  most  moderate  use of the
drug,  it becomes necessary  to delay the  exhibition of a
new dose for one or two weeks, until a beneficial reaction
has set  in.*
   If the physician should deem  it  advisable  to make a
new solution  of the former potency, in that case as many

sues a limilar method.  One or two  globules of the carefully selected
remedy may be dissolved in seven, ten, or fifteen table-spoonfuls of water,
and a tabic spoonful or, if the patient be very weak or small, a tea-spoon-
ful may be administered every two, three, four, or six hours, accordmg to
circumstances and after previous shaking.  The medicine may be thus
continued until the symptoms become aggravated, when it is necessary to

PREFACE.
imparted to all the doses of the previous solution taken to-
gether, adding five or six shakes for the first dose of the
new solution, and imparting five or  six additional  shakes
to every new dose.  For instance, if ten doses of  the first
solution had been given, the last dose would have received
fifty shakes, counting five shakes.to a dose, or sixty when
counting six shakes to a dose.  Hence the first dose of the
new solution must receive  either  fifty  or sixty  shakes to
make it even with the last dose of the former solution, and
five or six additional shakes to raise its dynamic power one
degree higher than that of the previous dose.
   In this way the  homoeopathic physician is sure to derive
from a well-chosen drug  all the  benefit that may be  ex-
pected from a solution.
   The effect of the remedy may be greatly increased by
applying it not only to the  nerves in the mouth  and  the
oesophagus, but by rubbing with it those parts of the body
which are  the most free from pain,  for instance, the arms,
thighs, legs, provided  the  skin is healthy,  and the parts
are otherwise unaffected by pain, spasms, etc.   The parts
may be alternately rubbed  one after the other.   By using
the remedy externally, the  cure  progresses much more
rapidly than  it would by  the mere internal  administration
of the drug.
   This mode of applying the remedy  externally,  which I
have tried  in many instances with wonderful success, ex-
plains the  miraculous cures of curvatures of the spine  or
limbs  which mineral-baths have  effected in 'some in-
stances with great rapidity.  The patients had  a  healthy
skin, and the medicinal ingredients of the  mineral  baths
were homoeopathic to the disease.*

   * On the contrary, these mineral waters have inflicted the greatest injury
upon patients affected with ulcers and cutaneous eruptions.  These erup-
tions disappearing from the skin, they settled upon a  more internal and
more important organ of the animal economy and brought on obscuration
of the oryatalline lens, paralysis of the optic nerve, hard hearing,  or deaf- 
PREl'ACE.

   The part which is to be rubbed must be free from cu-
taneous affections.  As I remarked above it is useful to rub
one  part in alternation  with another,  on  those days when
the patient does not use the remedy internally.   The rub-
bing may be done with the  hand and may  be  continued
unlit the liquid, a  small quantity of which only ought to be
used, has all been rubbed in.   Before using the liquid for
purposes of friction, the flask has likewise  to  be  shaken
five  or six times.
   However convenient and beneficial  this method of ad-
ministering drugs may be, and really is, in the treatment
of  inveterate  chronic diseases, nevertheless  I  was not
satisfied with using in  the warmer season the quantity of
brandy or charcoal which was required to protect the water
from the effects of the heat.
   The following method has latterly been  adopted by me
as a substitute for the one which has  been described in the
previous paragraphs.   I mix five table-spoonfuls  of  pure
water  with five table-spoonfuls  of good brandy,  and keep
this  mixture in a well corked  bottle.   Of this mixture I
drop two hundred, three hundred, or even  four  hundred
drops, according as the solution is to be more or less strong,
into  the vial containing the powder or the globules which
are to  be used in  the case before us.    The  vial ought to
be large  enough to be  only half filled  with the liquid and
ought to be shaken until the powder or  the  globules  are
dissolved.   Afterwards you pour a table-spoonful of water
into a cup and mix this with  one, two, or three drops of the
contents  of the vial, regulating the number of the drops
by  the susceptibility   of the patient.   If the  patient  be
very irritable, then half a lable-spoonful may  be used inter-
nally, reserving the other half for external  application.

nes«, innumerable phvsical tortures and moral or mental affections. Rp*8-
mod'ic asthma, apoplexy, or some other .lan^.-rous and insupportable affec-
tion.  It is on this account that the homoeopathic remedy should never be
brought in contact with sore places on the skm. 
VI
PRLIACE.
   It ought to be-remembered that whenever the medicine
 is to be used either internally or externally, the vial ought
 to be shaken five or six times, and the liquid in  the cup
 ought to be well stirred about.
   In the place  of the cup a vial may be used, into which
 the table-spoonful of water with the drops may be poured ;
 the mixture  is then shaken and  taken  either  half  or
 whole.
   It is frequently convenient in  the treatment of chronic
 maladies to take the medicine and to perform the friction
 in the  evening, because there is less danger of the medi-
 cine being disturbed by external influences  than if it were
 taken in the morning.
   Formerly when I was  in  the habit of giving  a  whole
 drop of the attenuation mixed with a little  water, 1 found
 that ten strokes developed the medicinal  power of a drug
 to an  excessive degree, and  I therefore substituted  two
 strokes in the place of ten.   But ever since I have prac-
 tised the method of  dividing the original dose by mixing
 it with a quantity of  prepared water which  will remain in-
 corrupt for fifteen, twenty, thirty, and more days, I  have
 found that ten strokes are  not too many, and that  it be-
 comes  therefore my duty to recant  the  doctrine  which I
 have promulgated  on this head, and which may  be found
 recorded p. 13fj, in the first part of this work.
   In cases where great irritability and extreme weakness
 went hand  in  hand, and where smelling had to be re-
 sorted to,  I employed for that purpose several vials con-
 taining globules of a different potency, the patient smelling
first of the highest potency once or twice, and every suc-
ceeding day of a lower potency either with both nostrils or
only with one, according as I desired to produce a stronger
or weaker impression.

ANTI-PSORIC  REMEDIES,
               CARBO ANIMALIS.

To prepare this  agent, you place a piece of thick ox-
leather between red hot coal and cause it to burn until the
last little flame has become extinguished ;  afterwards this
red-hot leather is suddenly cooled between two fiat stones ;
otherwise it would continue to glimmer in the open air and
the greatest part of the carbo would become destroyed.
   Although there  is a great similarity between the symp-
toms  of animal and  vegetable Carbo,  yet the  former
possesses such a  vast number of original  and  perfectly
characteristic symptoms that  I  have deemed it proper and
useful to subjoin them here.
   Animal  carbo is exhibited  in the thirtieth potency, one
or two  globules being sufficient at a dose.  Camphora
has been used as ah antidote, and relieves the painful effects
which animal Carbo produces  in highly irritable persons.
   When this remedy was indicated, the following symp-
toms  have been  most  readily  relieved: frightfulness;
vertigo  in  the morning ; pressure in  the whole of the
brain ; pressure on the head, after a meal ; eruptions on
the head ; humming in the ears ; discharge from the ears ;
erysipelas  in the   face ; stitches in the  cheek-bones, the
lower jaw and teeth ; drawing pain in the gums ;  bleeding
of the  gums ; pustules on the gums ;  dryness of the
palate and tongue; bitter taste in  the mouth; suppressed
eructations attended with pain ; sour eructations ; hiccough
after a meal; a fainting sort  of qualmishness ;  nausea at
nifht ;  weakness of  digestion in the stomach, the patient
being'incommoded almost bv every thing he takes ;  pres-
sure in the stomach as from'a load ;  sudden clutching and
vripingin  the stomach; pressure and cutting in the  re-
gion of the liver ;  rumbling  in the abdomen ; incarcera-
tion of flatus ; frequent stool by day ; stitches in the anus ;
fetid smell of the urine ; leucorrhoza ; burning  and acrid

arthritic stiffness of the joints  of the fingers;  pain in the
hips, occasioning limping; drawing and stitches in the legs;
sensitiveness to open air ; straining a part easily by lifting ;
chilblains ; sweat when walking in the  open air ; exhaust-
ing sweals, especially on the thighs ; morning  sweats.
   This drug has been proved by Drs. S. Hahnemann ;
Adams, in Russia ;  Wahle, Hartlaub  and  Trinks.
   According lo  Noack and Trinks this remedy  may  be
used in the following  affections :—
   Dr.  Wurm maintains that Carbo, both the animal and
vegetable charcoal,  is the best remedy to improve the con-
dition  of the blood.   Carbo animalis  corresponds to the
period when ichor is  formed.   It is especially adapted to
scrofulous and venous constitutions, hypertrophy of both
internal and external organs, glandular swellings threat-
ening  to become scirrhous,  attended ivith  lancinating
or  cutting pain ; polypi ?—Sensitiveness to  the  open
air.—Straining  a  part  easily by lifting.— Indurations
of the  parotid  gland, the cervical glands,  the axillary

with chronic bronchitis.—Burning in the back.— Arthritic
nodosities.—Arthritic stiffness in the joints.  -Pain in  the
hips,  inducing limping.—Drawing and stitches in the legs.

              CARBO VEGETABILIS.

   Any kind of good charcoal may be used as a remedial
agent, when duly prepared according to  the rules which I
have laid down in the  first volume.  In my trials I have
partly used charcoal from birch, partly from red beach.
   Carbo veg. has  been considered  non-medicinal  and
powerless by physicians.  The charcoal  from linden-wood
has  sometimes  been  employed as an  ingredient in the
powders against epilepsy, upon  mere empirical  grounds,
without any proof for the efficacy of that substance.  It is
only lately, when the chemical properties of the vegetable
charcoal, especially the power which it possesses to re-
move the bad smell from putrid and decayed substances,
and to protect liquids from that smell, had been discovered
by Lowitz  at Petersburg, that physicians have employed
charcoal externally, for the  purpose of  removing effects,
(iatro-chemically.)  They used it as a mouth-wash when
the mouth  smelled badly, or they applied it to old, fetid 
34

 ulcers, and the smell  disappeared  almost  instantaneously.
 When taken internally, in doses of 8 or  12 grams, charcoal
 removed the fetid odor of the faeces in  the lall-dyseuiery.
   This use of the vegetable charcoal was merely chemi-
 cal, noi dynamic, and  penetrating into the inmost subsiancfe
 of the vital forces. The bad smell of ihe mouth or ulcer,
 and of the faeces in dysentery returned in a lew  hours.
   When administered in the  form  of  a  crude  powder,
 charcoal can only act  chemically.   A pretty  large quantity
 of crude charcoal may be swallowed without causing  the
 slightest change in the functions of the  organism.
   There are many remedial agents which, in  their crude
 form, appear non medicinal and powerless.  Their medi-
 cinal virtues are latent and can only be properly  ehciled
 by triturating the medicinal substance together, with a non-
 medicinal  vehicle, such as sugar of milk,  thus mixing one
 with the other, and afterwards dissolving the powder in al-
 cohol and  preparing the dilutions by means of succussion,
 as has been taught in the first volume.
   Carbo veg.  may be used from the  decillionlh down to
 the millionth potency, 1, 2, or 3 globules at a dose.
   Arsenic, camphora  and coffea  cruda  are used  as anti-
 dotes of Carbo ;  the  spirits  of nitre  appear  to be more
 efficient.
   Carbo veg. has been found  curative in the following af-
 fections : —
  Anguish ;  irritability ; frightfulness ; fear of ghosts at
 night ; peevishness ;  headache brought  on by an 6chauffe-
ment; heaviness of the  head ; congestion of blood to the

   The excessive effects of Carbo are soon  alleviated by
 repeatedly smelling of Camphor, and still more certainly,
 by smelling of sweet Spirits of Nitre.
   This drug has been  proved by myself and  by  Drs.
 Adams, Gersdorff and Caspari.
   According to  Noack and Trinks,  Carbo veg. especially
 corresponds to  venous-hoemorrhoidal, gastric,  bilious  or
 scrofulous constitutions, and  to the melancholy, choleric
 temperament.   It is especially adapted to cachectic indi-
 viduals, whose vital powers have become weakened.   It is
 suitable for colliquative conditions, a predominant  action
 of the venous system, a diminished tone of the muscular
fibre, increased  irritability of the sentient nerves, in cases
 of hyperasthesis, especially when  this condition origi-
 nates in a morbid action of the vegetative abdominal or-
 gans ; hence in abdominal plethora, hysteria and  hypo-
 chondria.   When the action of the arterial system  has
 been entirely overpowered and the venous  congestion is
 indicated by a blue tinge of the skin over the whole body,
 attended toith fearful anguish about the heart,  and an icy
 coldness of the surface, then Carbo veg. is a proper remedy.
 It deserves  especial  consideration  in  morbid conditions '
 where anguish,  irritability, frightfulness, nightly fear of
ghosts, peevishness and wrathfulness are prominent sytnp-

Marble owes its indissolubility in water and its mild pro-
perties to an acid  of the lowest order  wilh which it is
combined.   When marble is made red hot,  this gas es-
capes, and the marble, besides the latent caloric, unites
with itself another substance, of which Chemistry has no
knowledge,  and which gives the lime, obtained from the
marble, its caustic property, as well as its  dissolubility
in water.   This substance, which is no acid itself, may be
separated from the lime by distillation, by adding a liquid
(fire-proof) acid having greater affinity for the earth than
is possessed by that substance.  It is thus obtained in the
shape of a hydrated caustic, (hydras caustici ?)
   Take a piece of recently burnt lime, weighing about 2
pounds, immerse it for a minute into  a vessel full of dis-
tilled water, and then lay  it into a dry cup, where it soon
becomes pulverised, giving  out much heat and a peculiar
odour, called the vapour of lime.  Of this fine powder you
take 2 ounces, place it in the mortar which had been pre-
viously warmed, and then mix it with a solution of two
ounces  of the bisulphate of potash in two ounces of boil-
ing hot water,  the potash, before being dissolved, having
been exposed to a red-heat, melted, cooled again, and then

pulverised.   This thickish  preparation is inserted into a
retort, to the open end of which the receiver which ought
to be dipped in water to half its height, is hermetically fas-
tened.  The liquid is distilled over by gradually approach-
ing a coal-fire to the retort, and until the preparation is per-
fectly dry.   The liquid in the receiver is about one ounce
and a half,  as clear as water, and containing  the  Causti-
cum in a concentrated form, which  smells like the lye ob-
tained from potash, and has an astringent and burning taste
on the back part of the tongue.   Its freezing-point is be-
low that of water ; it promotes the  putrefaction of animal
substances which are placed into it; with the salts of ba-
ryta it gives out no trace of sulphuric  acid,  nor any trace
of lime-earth with the oxalate of ammonium.
   One,  or at most, two globules  of the 30th potency are
given at a dose, which often acts  for upwards  of 50 days.
   The Causticum which is mentioned in the second vo-
lume of the Materia Medica Pura is less perfect than this
on: ;  its symptoms  are  likewise less numerous, for this
reason,  that as  soon as I  became  aware of the anti-psoric
virtues of this powerful drug, I had it proved  over again,
in order to complete the list of its pathogenetic effects, and
make its employment as a  remedial  agent much  more
certain and beneficial than it had been at  a time when an
imperfect, knowledge of its  pathogenetic symptoms fre-
quently placed  the practitioner in the necessity of using it
to the detriment of the patient.
   Causticum, if indicated, may be advantageously repeat-
ed after an intermediate remedy, and of a lower potency.
   In  the following affections this  drug has been most use-
ful, when exhibited homoeopathically :—

thoughts at night,  and weeping by day ; fearfulness ; anx-

  CLEMATIS  ERECTA.—FLAMMULA JOVIS.

  This plant grows along hedges and fences upon heights.
The various potencies of its acrid juice, which ought to be
squeezed out of its fresh leaves, shortly before the plant
begins to blossom,  may be used against a number of affec-
tions which have their origin in the abuse of mercury and
are complicated with psora, in  dangerous eruptions of  the
head  and skin, several  affections of the urinary organs,
strictures   of  the  urethra and various kinds  of very
troublesome inflammations of the  eyes.  Dr. Stapf has
found this remedy useful in orchitis and indurated swellings
of the testes consequent upon mismanaged gonorrhoea.  At
a more remote period its virtues have been praised by Von
Sloerk in cases of cancerous ulcers of the lips and mammae,
spongy  excrescences, tophi,  inveterate eruptions  of the
skin, peculiar kinds of chronic headache, and melancholia.
   Smelling of Camphor moderates  the too violent effects
of  the drug ; Bryonia is said to appease the toothache of
Clematis.
   This drug  has  been proved by  Drs. S. Hahnemann,
Franz,  Gutmann,  F. Hahnemann,  Langhammer, Stapf,
Foissac.
   According to Noack and Trinks  Clematis is suitable to
torpid, cachectic individuals and scrofulous constitutions.

 pain  in a hollow tooth, it is  only alleviated for a  short
 while by applying cold water, also by air coming out of the
 tooth ; this caused a stitch in the tooth, as if something had
 become raised in  the toolh.  A stitch in  the  tooth, which
 then  darted upwards through the whole of the left side of
 the face as  a drawing and shooting pain synchronously
 with the pulse,  accompanied  by a jerking  and straining

                  COLOCYNTHIS.

   Take  one grain of the dried  Cucumis colocynthis and
prepare the triturations and dilutions in the usual fashion.
Even one  globule of the highest potency is excessively
powerful.
   Colocynthis has been found especially useful  in the fol-
lowing affections :—
   Anxiety; want of religious sentiments; porrigo in the
face ; tooth ache ; stomach ache, also when occurring after
a meal; violent colic, especially when brought on by vexa-
tion ;  grunting in the abdomen;  inguinal hernia; chronic
diarrhoea ;  pain  in  the  shoulder-joint  as  if it had  been
bruised, brought on by vexation ; various kinds of bad con-
sequences from indignation and  great provocation to an-
ger, internal gnawing grief  excited  by the  unworthy
treatment which had either been inflicted upon ones-self or
upon persons which  excite  one's  compassion, etc.; cramp
in the calves and bowels,  cramp-colic, bilious fever, in- 
142                 COLOCYNTHIS.
 somnia, etc.; coxalgia, when the hip-joint feels as if the
 femur were  fastened  to  ihe os innominatum  with  iron
 claws, accompanied  by pains which dart periodically from
 the sacro-lumbalis muscle into the thigh.
   It is a  characteristic symptom of  Colocynthis to excite
 crampy pains in internal and external  parts, that is, tonic
 spasms, with  clawing  aching ;  in this  case Staphis agria
 is the antidote.   Black Coffee  and  camphor likewise re-
 lieve the  prejudicial effects of Colocynthis; also Caust.,
 Cham., Tab. (?)  Large doses  are counteracted by tepid
 milk, infusion of galls, Campb. Op.
   This drug has been proved by Drs.  S. Hahnemann,
 Aegidi, F. Hahnemann, Hornburg,  Gutmann, Langham-
 mer,  Stapf, Riickert.
   From  the  work of Noack and  Trinks:  According to
 Professor Martin Colocynthis seems to promote the secre-
 tion of mucus considerably but  not permanently.  It acts
 similarly to spirituous substances.  Its primary effects upon
 the organism are so powerful that the disturbances which
 it produces in it, are succeeded by secondary symptoms of
 lor g duration. Colocynthis is especially suitable to sthenic,
 dry,  bilious,  atrabilious, venoso hemorrhoidal  constitu-
 tions and choleric-melancholy  temperaments; it  is like-
 wise adapted to lax and scrofulous constitutions ; to wrath-
ful, vehement individuals, ivomen suffering with profuse
 menses,  and  such  as  lead a sedentary life ;  it deserves

  Squeeze out the juice of the plant when it has but just
begun to blossom, and mix 2 drops of it with 100 drops of
Alcohol, preparing the dilutions in the known fashion, or
else mix two grains of the recent leaves with  sugar of milk
and then form the potencies by trituration and subsequent
succussion.
  The great medicinal powers of this plant may be inferred 
              CONIUM MACULATUM—HEMLOCK.         155

 from what has been written by Stcerk and his followers on
 the brilliant results obtained  by means of Conium, in the
 years 1770, 1771, etc.   However, although some good re-
 sults were obtained, at least in the beginning, in the treat-
 ment of some horrible diseases, yet, on the other hand, the
 repeated use of excessive doses of this drug has done irre-
 parable injury and has  destroyed  a number  of human,
 lives.
   The apparently contradictory  statements of honest ob-
 servers based upon their respective experience, some of
 which had a tendency to gladden, others to sadden the heart,
 have been recently reconciled by Homoeopathy:   It has
 shown that it is impossible to obtain beneficial effects from
 the use of heroic remedies by employing large and repeated
 doses of a comparatively unknown and  powerful drug in
 the treatment of  equally unknown diseases, " but that the
 "drug ought first to be proved upon healthy persons  and
 "ought to be exhibited  in the highest potencies in diseases
 " to the symptoms of which its own pathogenetic effects are
 " homoeopathic."
   Such homoeopathic doses are indeed strange contrasts of
 the doses which have been employed by allosopathic physi-
 cians, 140 grains of the extract, or a wine-glass full of the
 recent juice, even 6 times  a day.  The true  Ilomceopathist
 has the advantage of never using this drug to the prejudice
 of his patient.
   Those terrifying  examples have prevented me from in-
 vestigating the effects of that drug  until lately; then it was
 that I discovered  its anti-psoric qualities.
  This remedy, in order to act beneficially, has frequently
 to be preceded by some  other drugs, and must then be used
 in the smallest doses.
  Excessive effects of the drug may be alleviated by smell-
 ing of the sweet spirits of nitre, or, in some cases, by drink-
 ing some coffee.
  This drug, when homoeopathically indicated, has been
most advantageously used in the following affections, even
in single attacks  thereof: Sadness; hypochondria; anxi-
ety ; dejection of spirits  and melancholy ; discouragement;
irritability;  frightfulness;  disposition  to feel   vexed;
want of disposition  to  work; forgetfulness  and  weak-

   This drug has been  proved by Drs.  S.  Hahnemann,
Franz, Gross, Langhammer, Rummel, Wislicenus.
   From the works of Drs. Noack and Trinks:  The chief
tendency of Conium is to fluidify and liquify animal mat-
ter, both  normal and  abnormal.  It is more  suitable to
females than males, to venous, lymphatic, scrofulous, torpid
constitutions,  to phlegmatic, melancholy temperaments,
but also to individuals  with rigid and tight fibres, and ea-
sily excited nerves ; to hypochondriacs  and hysteric wo-
men, especially to pregnant females ; Conium is especially
useful in  cases where tuberculosis, scrofulosis,  carcinoma-
tous cachexia and paralysis prevail.   Weakness of old

branous and tendinous formations consequent upon pinch-
ing, pressure, shock, fall  and other external  injuries, in
consequence of which, the cellular tissue had become com-
pressed and glands indurated, a sensation of numbness
accompanying these symptoms; according to Hahnemann,
 Conium ought to be employed when it becomes necessary
to restrain the activity  of the absorbents.— Trembling  of

 ous lymph,  sometimes also  blood;  when drying up, this
 lymph becomes a white scurf, under which the  secretion

relapse in photophobia scrophulosa ; according to Lobethal
Conium does either little or nothing in removing the in-

opened, stared, rolled to  and fro.   When asleep he extends
his arms from under the cover.   At night, when in bed, he
feels too hoi;  he has to rise and  to spend the night on the

 about the orifice of the rectum, in the nates, the perinaeum

                CUPRUM—COPPER.

   A piece of pure metallic copper is rubbed upon a hard
and fine whet-stone under distilled water in a china vessel,
the fine powder which falls to the bottom  is then dried,
and  like  all other metallic powder,  triturated for  three
hours with sugar of milk, in order to obtain the millionth
potency, from which  the dilutions  are derived by means
of alcohol.  One  or  two pellets of the 30ih poiency are
sufficient at a dose.
   The poisonous effects  of this metal and its preparations,
and  the  cruel and  frequently  fatal  symptoms resulting
from its application, have prevented physicians from  using
it internally.
   Voigtel, in his  Materia Mcdica,  mentions the  follow-
ing as some of the principal poisonous effects of copper:
" Loathing, nausea, fits of anguish and vomiting even in a
few minutes, troublesome  burning  in  the  mouth, unsuc-
cessful retching, violent pains  in the stomach  a few hours
after taking the metal, obstruction of the intesline*, or too
violent evacuations, even bloody diarrhoea, constant uneasi-
ness, sleeplessness, exhaustion, weak and small pulse, cold
sweat, paleness of the face, pains in the whole body, or in
a few parts, pain in the thyroid cartilage, pain in the hypo-
chondria, tingling sensation in  the top of the head,  palpita-
tion of the heart, vertigo, painful constriction of the chest,
cough with interrupted, almost suppressed respiration,  ex-
tremely hurried breathing, haemoptysis, hiccough, loss  of
consciousness,  wandering  look—also  convulsions,  rage,
apoplexy, paralysis, death."
   Homoeopathy alone is  capable, by means of the peculiar
mode of preparation to which it subjects remedial agents,
and by means  of its  doctrine  of the degree of potencies,
to  employ even the most violent substances  for the benefit
and restoration of the sick.
   Most of those violent symptoms of poisoning usually ap-
pear in groups, lasting half an hour or an hour, and recur-
ring from time  to time in the same form and combination,

such as : palpitation of ihe heart, vertigo, cough, haemopty-
sis, painful contraction of the chest, arrested breathing—
or—aching in the  chest, lassitude, vacillation  of sight,
closing of the eyes, loss  of consciousness, quick, moaning
respiration, tossing about, cold feet, hiccough, a short and
hacking  cough  which arrests the  breathing, etc.  The
use of copper is  therefore so  much more homoeopathic as
the symptoms appear at irregular intervals and in  groups.
   Several kinds  of partial or general  clonic spasms,  St.
Vitus' dance, epilepsy,  hooping cough, cutaneous erup-
tions, old ulcers,  and likewise spasmodic affections, accom-
panied wilh too  fine  and sensitive  senses,  appear to  be
the principal  sphere of action for copper ; it was likewise
indispensable either 10 prevent or to cure  Asiatic cholera.
   Antidotes are solutions of  castile-soap and Hepar  sul-
phuris, likewise  the white of an egg which  Orfila recom-
mends so highly from experience.   Violent dynamic  ef-
fects  of copper may  be  best  relieved by frequently smell-
ing of a  solution  of Camphor in alcohol; Bell.,  Chin.,
Cocc, Dulc,  Hep. s., Ip., Merc, and  Nux v.,  are like-
wise antidotes.
   Copper acts only a few days.
   The following psoric  affections have been  relieved by
copper :—
   Discouragement;  headache  consequent upon  epileptic
fits ;  pain in the  head, as if the head were hollow ;  aching
in ihe eyes ;  tearing, extending from the  teeth as far as
the temples ; water-brash after partaking of milk ;  mictu-
rition  during  the night; obstruction of the nose ; some
kinds of hooping-cough ;  burning in the soles of  the feet;
sweaty feet;  suppressed sweat of the  feet; old  ulcers ;
chronic weakness ; nervous affections when the senses  are
too fine and sensitive ; some kinds of epilepsy ; jerkings
when asleep; chilliness consequent upon  epileptic fits.
   This drug has  been  proved by  Drs. S. Hahnemann,
Franz, Fr. Hahnemann, Herrmann and Riickert.
   According to  Noack and Trinks,  copper  is most suit-
able to relaxed,  irritable and nervous  constitutions, with
weakness and excessive sensitiveness of the nervous sys-
tem, inclination  to spasmodic affections, convulsions  and
typical diseases, especially when of a chronic nature, with 
CUPRUM —COPPER.               191
irregular paroxysms.  According  to  G. Schmid, copper
is especially indicated  when the action of ihe  sensitive
sphere of the brain is more powerful than ihe irritability of
that organ, whilst there  is an evident tendency in  the cir-
culatory system to neutralize the disease by an increase of
activity.  Rheumatic affections; rending pains in the limbs,
aggravated by contact.   Acute rheumatism of the joinls,
wilh a tight feeling about the  heart, sudden attack of an-
guish, trembling motion of the  heart, feeling of  emptiness
in the left side of the chest, the patient fainting easily, and
the pulse being seldom perceptible.   (In this case Cuprum
ought  to be alternated with Spigelia.)   Several kinds  of
general  or  partial spasms.  Epilepsy;  purely nervous,
(Calc. c, or Canst, may be given during the period of re-
covery ;  when caused by fright (in conjunction wilh Ignat.;)
the attacks are  excited by a fall upon the head,  and come
on one or two days after the cessation of the menses dur-
ing the night, with  loss  of consciousness, groaning  and
raling, foam at the mouth, clenching of  the thumb, some-
times spasmodic affection of the  stomach, want  of appe-
tite, and yellowish-white coated tongue ;  occurring gene-
rally every  month, preceded  by drawing  in the  left arm,
which is involuntarily drawn to the body ; chilliness and
headache after the epileptic fit.   St. Vitus' dance  brought
on by fright, involuntary movements of the right arm and
leg, gradually affecting ihe other limbs, so that no limb  at
last can  be  kept still  ; even speech is  sometimes wanting
while in  the waking state, all the parts of the body are en-
gaged  in strange  movements.  (Gross  has  lately found
Calc. c. more efficacious than  copper, and  appeals  to
Weber  as an authority;) St. Vitus' dance caused by the
sight of  a child  suffering with convulsions, consisting  of
stinging  and burning in the left arm, afterwards violent con-
vulsions  of that arm, anxiousness, weeping, the fits return-
ing 8  or 10 times in 24 hours, the  fingers  being first
affected,  afterwards also the lower limbs, accompanied by
heat in  the  face, sweat, heat  and  thirst, the neck being
drawn to the right side, horrible distortion of  the eyes,
face and body  during the attack,  succeeded  by various
freaks, hiding under the table ; the patient being sometimes
in a very irritable, alternately meek  and sensitive,  and

 alysis'/--Jaundice?-Pains  in  the  bones—Caries?—
 Chronic cutaneous eruptions; herpes?—Itch?—Old  ul-
 cers.   Sporadic  cholera ; Asiatic cholera ;  prophylactic
 against Asiatic  cholera, according  to  Schuler; especially
 when convulsive  movements and great  restlessness  with
 jumping out of the bed go together ;  when the disease is
 increased  in the very beginning by drawing and tension of
 the muscles, slight convulsions, or afterwards more violent
 and continuous  spasms, especially  very  painful spasms in
 the calves, (in this case, Montagk never employed Cuprum
 as a chief remedy, but merely as  an intermediate remedy;)
 when  the attack was characterized by muscular spasms or
 when  these took the place  of the vomiling (Rummel, in
 this case, sometimes employed it in alternation with Vera-
 trum ;)  when there were convulsions  of the  fingers and
 toes;  when there  was an aching  in the pit of the stomach,
 increased by contact; the beverage descending in the gul-
 let wilh a gurgling noise ; vomiting accompanied by hard
 pressure, preceded by a contractive sensation in the chest
 increased to an anxious tightness  of the  breathing,  lastly,
 clonic  spasms in the fingers and iocs ; in  the second  stage;
 in  the third stage when  there are clonic spasms which do
 not yield to secale, and  continue  even after  the vomiting
 and diarrhoea had ceased.  Lobethal asserls that Cuprum
 has only an inferior importance in the  Asiatic cholera and
 is neither as important a prophylactic  nor  curative agent
 as  is represented by many homceopathists ; he  thinks  that
 Secale cornutum deserves the preference  under  similar cir-
 cumstances ; G. Schmid likewise thinks that Cuprum  is
 not a very  efficient agent in the treatment, of Asiatic chol-
 era.  Slow, hectic fever ?  Some kinds  of mental  disor-
 ders ;  mania?  melancholy?—Discouragement.—Painful
 hollow feeling in ihe head.—Encephalitis ?—Pressure  in
 the eyes.—Ophthalmia ?—Obstruction of the nose.   Tear-

being characterised by a lancinating pain in the middle  of
the umbilical region which penetrated to the spinal  column,

              DIGITALIS  PURPUREA.

   This plant grows wild on open mountains.  It is one of
 the most, powerful medicinal  substances, and has been fre-
 quently abused by those alloeopathic  physicians,  who, not
 knowing when to employ the drug in suitable cases, aimed
 at astonishing the patient by  sudden  effects.   The ignor-
 ance of physicians has led  them to commit many murders
 by means of this drug.  The cures which have been made
 by physicians by means of the digitalis, were made, with-
 out the physicians knowing it, on account of the homoeopa-
 thic  relation existing between the plant and  the disease.
 The true homceopathist will never use  it to the detriment
 of the patient;  he will never  give it  to lessen, but to in-
 crease, the number  of pulsations.
   The medicine may be prepared either by potentizing one
drop of the recent juice of the plant,  or else  by triturating
two grains of the fresh plant with one  hundred  grains of

sugar of  milk,  and forming the dilutions in  the usual
manner.
  One or  two pellets of the 30th potency of this drug  act
with sufficient force.   Its excessive effects may be dimin-
ished by smelling of a solution of camphor.  Nux v. and
opium are also said  to be antidotes.  A cautious physician
can always  do without antidotes.   Spirits of nitre increase
the action of digitalis very much;  it is of long duration.
  Tlr's drug has been tried by myself,  and  Becher, Dr.
Fra'.z, Dr.  Gross,  Hornburg,  Jahr, Dr. Langhammer,
Le\n.ann, Meyer, Piepers, Dr. Riickert, Dr. Stapf, Tent-
horn, Dr. Trinks.

  t This is a very rare secondary effect of digitalis, and only occurs when
the dose is too large.  The difficulty to pass the  urine, is generally one
of the primary effects of that drug ; it is  for this reason that  it has fre-
qucntly been very useful in cases of swelling characterised by the above-
mentioned difficulty and other primary symptoms, belonging to digitalis.
The copious emission of urine which follows the exhibition of  digitalis in
those cases, is a curative effect, a reaction on the part of the organism.

  This is a gum-resin which contains about two fifths of
genuine resin.  It is the  juice of a perennial plant, with a
thick stem, and  ekes out when the plant is ripped open.
Formerly it was obtained  from  the Euphorbia  officina-
rum, which grows in the  hot regions of Africa; at the pre-
sent time we gather it more frequently from the Euphorbia
canariensis upon the Canarian Islands.
  When chewing the plant, it first appears to be tasteless,

 but afterwards causes a corrosive burning sensation in the
 whole mouth which continues a long time and.can  only be
 removed by rinsing the mouth wilh oil.  There are many
 varieties of Euphorbium, ihe medicinal  virtues of which
 appear to be pretty much alike.
   In the hands of homoeopathic physicians the Euphorbium
 will be just as  useful, as  it has been pernicious in  the
 hands  of surgeons who used to apply it to cancer of the
 bones, and who do now use it as an ingredient of their fa-
 vorite  and  everlasting drawing-plasters.  It appears to be
 well worthy of further trials.
   Its effects last  several weeks.
   This drug  has been proved by  Drs. S. Hahnemann,
 Langhammer, Wislicenus,  Harllaub, and Trinks.*
   From Noack and Trinks : Stapf has proposed to employ

 Irregular stool and affections of the  urinary organs, with
 tenesmus and painful feelings in the rectum and the urethra.

 middle of the chest.—Asthma.—Painful affections of the
 extremities.
   Euphorbium has been successfully employed in  the fol-
lowing  affections: Vesicular erysipelas of  the  face.—
Breaking off of the teeth in little  fragments.—Throbbing,
beating toothache, as if the teeth were being screwed to-
gether, abscess below the  dens Cuspidatus which  is very

            GRAPHITES—BLACK-LEAD.

    Pulverise  one grain of the purest black-lead taken from
  a fine English pencil, and prepare the triturations and dilu-
- tions in the usual fashion.   One or two pellets of the 30th
  potency are  sufficient at a dose.
    Pure Graphites is a sort of mineral carbo, with a slight
  admixture of iron which cannot be regarded as one of the
  necessary constituents of that mineral.   This is evident
  now,  since  Davy has shown, by  treating plumbago with
  potassium, that it is diamond transformed.
    Dr.  Weinhold has  been the first  to recommend  Gra-
  phites as a drug.  When travelling in  Ttaly, he saw work-
  men in the looking-glass manufactory of Venice, employing
  graphites externally for the  purpose of removing herpetic
 * eruptions. He published his own trials with Graphites for
  a similar purpose, in a little pamphlet entitled : Graphites
  as a Remedy against Herpes.  (Sec. edition, Misnia, 1812.)
  He caused Graphites  to be laid upon  the skin, either by
  means of saliva, or  lard ;  or to be rubbed in as  an  oint-
  ment, or he applied a plaster mixed with Graphites ; at the 
GRAPHITES--BLACK LEAD.            255
  same time he administered Graphites internally in 16 grain
  doses, one a day, either in the form of an  electuary or  of
  pills.   He obtained success in several cases.
    We go a little farther and employ Graphites  as an anti-
  psoric,  whether  herpes be or be not one of the symptoms
  of the (non-venereal)  disease.   Graphites has  a long ac-
  tion.  It has  been successfully used when  the following
  symptoms were, among others, characteristic of the disease :

   Graphites is frequently indispensable and cannot be re-
placed by any other remedy in cases of chronic constipation
when it begins  to be troublesome, and when the  menses
have delayed several days beyond their proper period.
   Graphites can seldom be  repeated with advantage, even
after the use of intermediate remedies.
   Smelling of Arsenic X° appears to be an antidote, espe-
cially against despairing grief caused by Graphites. A small
dose of Nux likewise relieves several  troublesome symp-
toms of Graphites.
   This drug  has  been proved  by Drs. S. Hahnemann,
Hartlaub, Rummel, Kretschmar, Ng.

                     GUAJACUM.

   The juice from the  Guajacum officinale, a tree in the
West Indies, consists mostly of  a peculiar kind of resin,
(gummi guajaci) and, when dried, is prepared for  homoeo-
pathic use in the known fashion.  The homoeopathic prac-
titioner will not suffer himself to be carried away by a
mere name in  employing this drug, as  the  practitioners
of the old School do  in using it for the cure of gout or
rheumatism ; but  he  will institute a careful inquiry into
the symptoms of  the  case, and then use the drug only
when in homoeopathic relation to the disease. 
GUAJACUM.

   Guajacum has been found serviceable in the following
affections :—Attacks of cephalagra; swelling of the  eyes;
painful straining in the ears ; sensation as if mucus were
in the throat, causing a feeling of nausea ; repugnance to
milk ; constipation ; stitches in the chest; arthritic  lanci-
nations in the  limbs, especially contractions produced by
lancinating pains in the limbs, the pains being excited by
the slightest motion and accompanied by heat in the af-
fected parts, especially when the patient had been injured
by mercury ; pulmonary consumption with fetid pus, etc.
   This drug has  been proved  by Drs. S. Hahnemann,
Hartmann, Langharnmer, Tenthorn.

  This drug  has been proved by Drs. S. and F. Hahne-

  To ihe above-named symptoms, Drs. Noack and Trinks
subjoin the following  statements concerning  Hepar :—
Hepar sulphuris is especially suitable to scrofulous  and
lymphatic, psoric, torpid constitutions, to persons with
blond hair and slow character, and soft,  withering mus-
cular fibre.  It is especially suitable for all the disturb-
ances of the  lymphatic system, and for the affections of
the reproductive system resulting from the former.  Lobe-
thal recommends Hepar s. as  the mildest and most praise-
worthy substitute for  pure Sulphur  in all  the  affections
which, having their principal seat in the reproductive  sys-
tem, such as—a chronic affection of the glands, a chronic
eruption, etc., are more intimately related to  Calcarea in
combination with  Sulphur, than  to Sulphur alone; or in
affections  which are supposed to  originate in the abuse of
Mercury, but where  this abuse is not sufficiently evident
to justify the use  of Sulphur as an antidote, if at all indi-
cated ;  this explains, according  to him, why affections of
the inguinal glands, and syphilitic ulcers (boulins) should
be so effectually treated and  often more readily cured by
Hepar s.  than  by Merc,  Nitri.. ac,  etc.—According to
Riickert, Hepar s. is indicated, in cases, especially chronic
abdominal affections, which Belladonna had  not been suffi-
cient to cure, and vice  versa, Belladonna ought to be used
in similar affections when Hepar s. was  not sufficient for
the cure.—Mercurial  cachexia ; sur-excitation owing to
abuse of  Mercury;   salivation by  Mercury;  mercurial
ulcers in the  mouth (using first nitric ac.;)  scrofula of the
bones consequent  upon abuse of Mercury (in conjunction
with nitr.  ac.)—Secondary syphilis ;  especially rhagades,
sore places in the skin, swelling of glandular rows in the
neck.—Suspicious eruptions,  frequently originating in
scrofula, psora and mercurial abuses.—Ichthyosis (also

obstinate nature, on hands and fingers.—Erysipelas of the

 Lycop. may be used in such a case, and the more readily
 the more humid the eruption is, whereas Hepar s. is most
 beneficial when the disease is complicated with Scrofulosis
 and swelling of the cervical  glands,  or when Cic. and
 Sepia, and if the case should be  complicated with piihiria-
 sis, psorin should be indicated.—Obstinate forms of crusta
