This is the second American edition of a very celebrated work, written in French, by the eminent Homoeopathic Professor Jahr, and it is considered the best practical compendium of this extraordinary science that has yet been composed. After a very judicious and instructive introduction, the work pre- sents a table of the Homoeopathic medicines, with their names in Latin, Eng- lish, and German ; the order in which they are to be studied, with their most important distinctions, and clinical illustrations of their symptoms and effects upon the various organs and functions of the human system.—The second volume embraces an elaborate analysis of the indications in disease, of the medicines adapted to cure, and a glossary of the technics used in the work, arranged so luminously as to form an admirable guide to every medical stu- dent. The whole system is here displayed with a modesty of pretension, and a scrupulosity in statement, well calculated to bespeak candid investigation.

ROKYTANSKY'S PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY, translated from the German, with additions on diagnosis from Schonlein, Skoda, and others. By Dr. John C. Peters. 1844. la cts. Opinions of the Press.—" Dr Rokytansky's book is more than it professes to be : it is morbid Anatomy in its densest and most compact form, scarcely ever alleviated by histories, cases, or hypotheses. It is just such a work as might be expected from its author, who is said to have written in it the result of his experience gained in the careful examination of over 12,000 bodies, and who is possessed of a truly marvellous power of observing and amassing facts. In the course of our analysis we have said comparatively little of its merits, the best evidence of which is found in the length to which our abstracts have been carried without passing beyond the bounds of what is novel or important. Nor would this fault have been committed, though much more had been bor- rowed, for no modern volume on morbid Anatomy contains half so many genu- ine facts as this ; it is alone sufficient to place its author in the highest rank of European medical observers.''—British fy Foreign Medical Review, Jan. 1843. "Among others of our profession at Vienna, who are ably endeavouring to advance the reputation of sound medical science on the only secure basis upon which it can march, that of practical experience at the bed-side, and in autopsic examinations, we (Dr. Mott) must not omit to mention Professors Rokytansky and Skoda. Dr. Rokytansky, availing himself of the wide field of inquiry which his position gives him, has, after years of the closest and most diligent application, recently published a work, than which none was more wanted by the profession, and which, being a faithful description of what he himself saw in more than 12,000 dead bodies, and a well digested theory of the greater number of morbid processes, which he has minutely traced throughout their stages, will form a most valuable accession to Pathology. Professor Skoda, after a number of years of the most laborious application to the subject of Aus- cultation and Percussion, has brought out a great work on those modes of applying the principles of acoustics, to the illustration of pathological pheno- mena, which will probably give it the precedence over all others. It is founded wholly on his own observations on the living subject, confirmed by numerous post mortem examinations."—Dr. MotVs Travels in Europe and the East. ENCHIRIDION MEDICUM ; or, the Practice of Medicine; the result of fifty years' experience, by C. W. Hufeland, counsellor of State, physician in ordinary of the late King of Prussia, professor in the University of Berlin. From the sixth German edition ; translated by C. Bruchhausen, M.D. Re- vised by R. Nelson, M.D. Second American edition. 1844. Bound, $2 50. Opinions .-—The following lines from Dr. Manley, formerly president of the Medical Society of the State of New York, contains his opinion in a few words of the merits of the book :— I am happy to have the opportunity of recommending to the medical pro- fession, the Manual of the Practice of Medicine, by Hufeland. It is not often 4 Medical Books. tha* books of this character, on perusal, make good the claims which their titles assume, but this is a well marked exception : its descriptions of diseases, though concise, are comprehensive; its reasonings just and philosophical, and its practice as a consequence, intelligible and rational. 1 he character of the author, and his experience of more than half a century, together with the unexampled popularity of the work in its original language, rencl< r, in my opinion, all individual recommendation superfluous. I hope that it may- soon be found in the hands of every medical man, whether pupil or practi- tioner. _ New-York, September 7, 1842. James R. Manley, M.D. Certificate of John F. Gray, M.D., formerly resident physician to the New-York Hospital, Lecturer on the Theory and Practice of Physic, Censor of the State and New-York Medical Societies, etc., etc. I am very glad to find the press engaged in diffusing a knowledge of the German medical literature in this country- At the head of the German books of practice stands this book of the good Hufeland. Mr. Bruchhausen and Dr. Nelson have laboured with diligence and good faith in rendering the Enchiri- dion ; and, so far as I have had leisure to compare their work with the origi- nal, I find no error of magnitude. Another edition will no doubt be called for soon, and then the worthy American curators can dispense with the somewhat meagre characteristic given to it by their too close adherence to the letter of the author. I heartily wish success to the good enterprise. New-York, September 8, 1842. John F. Gray, M.D. The reputation of the venerable eclectic of Germany scarcely requires endorsement even on this side of the Atlantic. An independent and original thinker, Hufeland laboured for the cause of medical science, and has acquired an universal renown, amply attested to by his " Journal of Practical Medi- cine," " Art of prolonging Life," " System of Practical Medicine," and numerous essays, besides personal contributions of humane and necessary innovations in the treatment of " Inoculation," " Small Pox," and " Signs of Death." His last work, Enchiridion Medicum, concentrates the experience of his entire medical life, and fully maintains in its careful and concise de- scription and diagnosis of diseases all the evidence of the discriminating intellect of the Patriarch of German medical literature. New-York, September 12,1842. A. Gerald Hull, M.D. The writings of the great Hufeland need no recommendation of mine. His name, as a medical authority, is so well established, that I have no doubt this work wrill find a ready and extensive sale. John B. Beck, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica and Medical Jurisprudence in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New-York. New-York, 14 Le Rojr Place, September 6, 1842. I have looked over the Enchiridion Medicum of Profes or Hufeland. It is an excellent compendium of German practice, and will be found a valuable vade mecum to the student and practitioner. It can profitably be perused, and ought to be in the hands of all physicians. The justly distinguished reputation of the author will make it a work generally sought for. Valentine Mott, M.D. The publishers have conferred a benefit upon the medical literature of our country, by producing this translation of the Enchiridion Medicum of Hufe- land. Few works on practice contain so much useful matter in so small a compass. But independently of the value attached to any work from the pen of Hufeland, this book is especially useful to Americans, by furnishing them with the modes of thinking and practising, peculiar to the medical men of a large portion of continental Europe, to which they have few means of access.

B. LUDWIG, PRINTER, 70AT8,V_eySt THB TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. The last volume of the Chronic Diseases is here laid before the public. The nosological portion of Noack and Trinks' work had to be left out, for the simple reason that the work is not yet completed. It is needless that I should say any thing of the work which it has been my delight and my pride to transfer into the English vernacular to the best of my ability. I may be permitted, however, to say but one word of the translation. I am far from believing that my translation is perfect; I know that it is not, and cannot be, were it for no other reason than the peculiar difficulty which attaches to the rendering, in a foreign tongue, of the almost endless shades of sensation and emotion, which constitute our Materia Medica. My constant object has been to express the symp- toms in a simple and clear manner, in perfect accordance with the original, and I trust that this object has been suffi- ciently attained to make the study of Hahnemann's Materia Medica encouraging, instructive, and profitable to both physicians and patients. This study is absolutely indispens- able to the former. I am satisfied that a single glance at the Materia Medica will be sufficient to convince every in- telligent practitioner that no Repertory, no Synopsis can ever be a substitute for the Materia Medica itself; that which characterises a symptom, is too frequently omitted in those IV TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. auxiliary works, and it would be a hazardous piece of enter- prise to attempt the cure of an inveterate, complicated chronic disease, without constantly referring to our fountain- head of therapeutic wisdom. If the labor which I have bestowed upon the translation of this work, shall do some good in spreading our cause, firing the energies of our practitioners, leading to a more intimate study of our Materia Medica, suggesting new ways and methods of popularising our system, I shall feel doubly happy in having made the effort and in renewing the pledge which I have taken before God and my inmost conscience, to devote every moment of my life to the propagation and final triumph of our sublime and saving Art.

A solution of salt or bitter substances becomes less salt or bitter in proportion as water is added to it, until it finally loses its taste altogether, no matter how much we shake it; in a similar manner a colored solution finally loses its color altogether by a sufficient quantity of water being added to it. These solutions are true dilutions, but no dynamizations. Homoeopathic dynamizations are processes by means of which the medicinal properties of drugs, which are in a latent state in the crude substance, are excited and enabled to act spiritually (dynamically) upon the vital forces, that is, upon the sensibility and irritability of the fibre. I have been the first to discover and to promulgate this awakening of the latent dynamic properties of medicinal drugs, which is effected either by the process of tritu- ration or succussion. It is therefore improper to apply the term "dilution" to a dynamized drug, although every new potency of a drug has to be mixed either with alcohol or sugar of milk to en- able us to carry on those processes still further, and to set free the very inmost power of the drug, which could not be done by simply triturating or shaking the original substance, were we to do it for ever so long a period. We frequently read in homoeopathic books that this or that phy- sician has seen no effects of this or that potency, but that a lower potency had answered his purpose ; whereas others maintain the contrary. The reason of this difference in the results obtained VI PREFACE. by physicians is not sufficiently investigated. I doubt whether the manufacturers of homoeopathic preparations employ as much care as they ought to do in potentializing our drugs. The better way would be that every practitioner should prepare the potencies him- self. What objection is there to substitute in the place of a few careless strokes, 10, 20, 50, and more vigorous strokes, striking the phial even against a somewhat hard, elastic body ? I should say that the welfare of our patients, and the interest of our art are well worth the trouble of securing to our drugs the ut- most efficiency. By employing proper care in the preparation of our potencies, even the 50th potency (modern wiseacres have even sneered at the 30th, substituting the crude substances for it, and thus depriving themselves of the means of doing all the good that our art is capa- ble of accomplishing,) becomes exceedingly powerful, so powerful that a pellet of that potency has frequently to be dissolved in a large quantity of water, and has to be taken in very small doses by susceptible patients, lest the effect should be overwhelming; for, I repeat that in those high potencies almost all the inmost powers of the medicinal substance are fully developed and set free.

Dissolve one part of the nitrate of potash of the shops in 6 parts of boiling-hot water; the crystals which are deposited from this solution at a very low temperature, are the best lor homoeopathic use, inasmuch as they are almost entirely free of salt. These crystals are dynamised in the same way as every other dry substance. Beside the blood-lettings which arc yet all the rage even at this moment, Nitrum has been used as the chief antiphlogistic by physicians of the old school, imagining that Nitrum depresses the high action of the circulatory system and diminishes inflammatory fever. This was almost the only purpose for which Nitrum was used. But inasmuch as the production of cold in the system is the primary effect of Nitrum and its action in inflamma- tory fevers must therefore have been palliative, the ultimate necessary consequence of Nitrum when given in the large doses of alloeopathic practice, must have been to produce a sinking of strength and lentescent nervous fevers, which frequently terminated in death, as the experience of several centuries has sufficiently shown. Nitrum has been found useful in affections characterised by the following symptoms : Want of appetite with thirst; violent spasms of the stomach ; incarceration of flatulence in the afternoon ; diarrhoea, without colic; cough in the open air and when going up stairs ; cough at every arrest of breathing ; haemoptysis ; asthma, cannot lie in bed with the head low ; stitches in the chest during a deep inspiration; sli'ches in the scapula; exhausting sweats; quotidian fever with drawing pains in the lower limbs. Dr. Schretcr has successfully employed the spirits of nitre against the violent effects of Nitrum, especially the headache ; Camphor increases the ailments caused by Nitrum. 1 NITRUM—NITRATE OF POTASH.

T/ns product of the interior of the earth ought to be fluid and light yellow, if it is to be used as a remedial agent, its smell, taste and medicinal virtues are very pow- erful. When very fluid, it can scarcely be mixed wiih fat vegetable oils Nevertheless, in order to be quite sure of its purity arid genuineness, I have shown in my work en- tilled : Modes of ascertaining the genuineness and falsifi- cation of remedial agents, {Dresden, 17s7, p. 221,) how the purity of petroleum may be ascertained by adding some strong sulphuric acid, which leaves the petroleum untouched, acting merely upon the foreign oily matters and converting ihem to a sort of sulphur. ^Or, if this testing process appear too troublesome, a drop of petroleum may be deposited on paper; if pure, it will soon evaporate in the open air, without leaving a trace behind ; if not pure, the trace of ihe foreign oily substance will be seen. In many cases the petroleum may be found mixed with a vol- atile, vegetable oil, the oil of turpentine for example. La order to guard against this, it is well to mix the petroleum, previous to its being used, with double its quantity of alco- hol, to shake the mixture several times, and then to filter it through blotting paper, which had been previously moist- ened with alcohol. In this case the vegetable oil, if any was present, is filtered through together with the alcohol, and the pure petroleum remains behind, and ought to be pre- served in a vial, the cork and mouth of which are to be her- metically closed with sealing-wax. To make the first trituration, one drop of oil is used instead of one grain of dry substances.

Some three hundred years ago, when physicians were in the habit of ruining the organism infected with syphilis by administering large doses of mercury, it was accidentally discovered by non-professional men that Sassaparilla is an anlidote to such mercurial poisonings. Since then it has been used in Europe for similar purposes but has always been administered in decoction. In order there- fore to obtain a powerful drug it was necessary to use large quantities of it, frequently an ounce and more. Al- though having been in use for centuries past it has never been suspected that this root loses all its virtues by boil- ing. The patient lost therefore but little by a cheap sub- stitute, the carex arenaria, being used in the place of the sassaparilla root, although he paid for the latter and thus secured enormous profits to the apothecaries. Even physicians have for a long time been of opinion that the root of the carex arenaria might be used in the place of that of the sassaparilla, for this reason, that bolh roots are long and thin and ought therefore to have anala^ous virtues; such opinions, however, come from the common SASSAPARILLA, 131 manufacturers of materia medica's, who will declare salix and aesculus hippocastanum to have analogous powers lo those of Cinchona. The truth is, that the genuine Sassaparilla, especially the brown which grows in Hayli, is a very powerful diug even when administered in very small doses, but in this case it must not be prepared by boiling. The meiicinal virtues of dry drugs cannot be com- pletely extracted by alcohol. To prepare Sassaparilla you take ihe dry root, scrape off one grain weight of it, and trilurale it with 99 grains of sugar of milk as usual. Sassaparilla has removed the following affections. Nausea ; blood with stool; cold feet previous to goirg to bed ; sweat on the forehead, in the evening when in bed ; dry coryza of many years' standing ; paralytic weariness of the hands and feet. Smelling of Camphor antidotes Sassaparilla. Vinegar appears to increase the symptoms. This drug has been proved by Brunner, Hartmann Herrmann, Teuthorn, Schreter, Ng. Moral Symptoms —Desponding.

Take half an ounce of mountain-crystal and expose it several times to a red heat, or take pure white sand and wash it with distilled vinegar ; when washed mix it with two ounces of powdered natruin, melt the whole in an iron crucible until effervescence has ceased and the liquefied mass looks clear and smooth, which is then to be poured upon a marble plate. The limpid glass which is thus ob- tained is to be pulverised while warm and to be filled in a phial, adding four-times its own weight of distilled water, (the phial being exactly filled to a level and a stopper being put in immediately.) This mixture forms a solution which remains always clear ; but upon pouring it into an open phial which is loosely covered with paper, it becomes decomposed, and the snow-white silica separates from the natrum and falls to the bottom of the phial; the causticum of the natrum (which has not yet been acknowledged by the antiphlogistic chemists,) having been separated from the na- trum during the act of melting, and, uniting instantaneously with the atmospheric air, forming the so-called carbonic acid,* without which the causticum could not have been neutralised, and the silica could not have been precipitated, an essential condition of which result is the previous neutralization of the causiicum. To lyxiviate ihe Silica the water ought to be mixed with a little alcohol, which facilitates the precipitation of the Silica. It is then spread upon blotting paper, and the wa- ter contained in the Silica is caused to be absorbed by several new sheets in succession, and finally the sheets are pressed between heavy weights, in order to remove the * This acid does not originally exist in carbon, but is formed by means of the causticum set free by the ignition of the coal, and uniting with the atmospheric air while the coal is cooling in it, (even when the carbonic acid of the air should have been previously dissolved from it by washing and shaking it with recently distilled water.) Carbonic acid is therefore no original constituent of carbon, and is therefore improperly called carbonic acid. See the article on Causticum in the third volume of the Chronic Diseases.

The flowers of sulphur are used for homoeopathic pur- poses ; ihev arc washed wiih alcoho', to remove the acid which may perhaps be mixed with them. Even as early as 2000 years ago sulphur had been used as the most powerful specific against the itch, wilhout any one ever suspecting that it cured the itch on account of sulphur being homoeopathic to this disease. The itch, with which the workers in wool are so much affected, causes an intolerably agreeable, tingling-itching gnawing as of vermin ; others designate it as an intolerably voluptu- ous titillating itching, ceasing as soon as the pails arc scratched and commencing to burn, which burning contin- ues after the scratching. Sulphur frequently produces, iu healthy persons burning iiching pimples and vesicles re- sembling the itch vesicles, and especially itching in the joints, and in the night. This specific, great power of sulphur to cure the itch, has been abused heretofore by repelling the itch from the skin hy means of external appli- cations of sulphur, whereas the internal itch-disease not only remained uncured, bin became transformed into a host of secondary ailments, owing to the eruption which was an external vicarious substitute for the internal dis- ease, having been repelled ; in a similar manner syphilis does not break out till the chancre has been violently sup- pressed by local treatment. Some physicians gave sulphur bolh externally and inter- nally ; the ointment however had already repelled ihe eruption, and an acute or a chronic disca-e is the unavoid- able consequence of such a retrocession. Besides the sul- phur used by alloeopathic physicians is crude sulphur, and is given in doses large enough to puige ; such closes can never remove the itchj nor have they alone ever done so. SULPHUR. 255 If the itch has been cured by drinking mineral water, this can only have taken place in a manner similar to lhat pur- sued by the homoeopaihic practitioner. The sulphur con- tained in that water is refined by nature in ihe depths of the earth, and its medicinal virtues are developed in a similar mode as the homoeopath refines it by artificial pro- cesses. Sulphur which had not been carried up to very hish degrees of poteitization, has never cured the itch with which the workers in wool are frequently affected. This itch is cured the more safely and rapidly, the higher the potencies which were used for that purpose. I now prepare sulphur as all other dry substances, by trituration. The tincture of sulphur, prepared by alcohol, only contains some of the curative principles of sulphur, but not all its ingredients.

The mentioning of Arsenic calls up powerful recollec- tions in my soul. In crea:ing the iron the All-Merciful permitted his chil- dren to transform it, at their choice, eilher into the mur- derous dagger or the blessed piough-share, and to use it either for their destruction or preservation. How much more happy mankind would be, if they used God's gifts only for the purpose of accomplishing the good. It is his will that we should do this, and for this end we have been created. It is not the fault of Him who loves us all, that we abuse powerful medicinal agents, administering them either in too large doses or in cases for which they are not suitable, being merely guided by the caprice of miserable authori- ties, and wilhout having taken the trouble to investigate the inherent curative virtues of the drug, and to make our se- lection depend upon the knowledge thus obtained. If one is found willing to make that investigation in a conscientious manner, those pretended authorities over- whelm him with their wrath as the enemy of their com- fort, and permit themselves the most ignoble and malicious calumnies. The most powerful drugs, Arsenic, Nitrate of Silver, Muriate of Mercury, Aconite, Belladonna, Iodine, Digi- talis, Opium, Hyoseiamus, etc., have been used heretofore in very large and frequently repeated doses. Homoeopa- thy has no means of using more violent drugs, for these are the most powerful in Nature. The alloeopathic physi- cians seem to vie with one another in using the largest possible quantilies of such drugs, and they frequently pride 362 ARSENICUM ALBUM. themselves in so doing. But if homoeopathic physicians undertake to use them, not blindly as the Alloeopalhs do, but after having carefully investigated the properties of those drugs, and having thus obtained an accurate know- ledge of the disturbances for which they ought to be used, and then only in extremely reduced quantities, the homoeo- pathic art is cried down as the art of poisoning. How much partiality, injustice and calumny does this imply on the part of men who pretend to be honest and candid. But, if Homoeopathy goes a little farther, if it condemns, as it ought to do, the excessive doses used in the ordinary practice, and if, armed with the knowledge derived from ex- perience, it insists upon the great truth, that, in cases where alloeopathic physicians use T\, 5, or even one or two grains of a drug, it is sufficient and even necessary to give but one quadrillionth, sextillionth or decillionth part of a grain at a dose, these small doses excite the derision of alloeopa- thic physicians, they assure the public that such small doses have no effect, that it is folly to suppose that they can have the least effect, and, in this way, they deem it consistent with honor and reason to deride in the same breath what they cry down as the art of poisoning. Does not this miserable and coarse inconsistency seem to be resorted to for the purpose of assailing unjustly a doctrine characterized by truth, consisten- cy, conformity to experience, delicate discretion, and indefatigable precaution in the selection of drugs and their application to disease ? Some time ago, a celebrated physician* published the fact that pounds of opium wore eaten every month in his private hospital, and that the nurses were permitted to give it to the paiienls at discretion—imagine, opium, which has destroyed thousands of lives in the ordinary practice ; nevertheless the man continued in honor, for the simple reason that he belonged to ihe ruling caste of Doctors who are permitted to do every thing in medicine, even lhat which is pernicious and absurd. Even a few years a°o, all the medical practitioners, from the Doctors down to The common barbers, in one of ihe most enlightened cities of * Marcus in Bamberg. ARSENICUM ALBUM. 863 Europe, (Berlin,)* prescribed frequent and large doses of Arsenic in almost all diseases as a fashionable drug, to such an extent that the injury which was inflicted upon the public, must have become evident; and yet, this was set down as honorable practice, although no one had dreamed of investigating the medicinal properties of that poison, and it never occurred to any one, that one single grain of such doses, if properly potentialised, would have sufficed to cure all the cases which can be cured by Arsenic on the face of the whole earth. Which of the two methods ought, after this, to be termed the art of poisoning the method which permits and even teaches lo pour one tenth of a grain of Arsenic into the bodies of the poor patients who, in many cases, ought to have been given an alto- gether different medicine, or the homoeopathic method which teaches that not even a drop of Rhubarb should be given, without having previously ascertained whether the inherent medicinal properties of lhat drug correspond to the case to be treated, a method the precepts of which are those of practical wisdom, recommending a small porlion of ihe decillionih part of a grain of Arsenic as the fittest dose, and this only to be given when the symptoms of the remedy correspond exactly to those of the disease. There is another sect of practitioners who might be styled hypocritical purisis. They indeed use in their prac- tice all those substances which have the power to do much harm, but, before the world they want to be looked upon as innocent and cautious practitioners, and give to their classes such horrid definitions of poison, lhat it would seem as though nothing but dandelion, raspberry juice, etc. ought to be used to combat the ferocious diseases with which mankind are assailed. According to their definition poisons are hurtful lo the human organism under all cir- cumstances, and, perhaps in order to excite suspicion against Homoeopathy, they class in their category of poi- sons a quantity of substances which have constantly been used for the treatment of disease. It would be criminal to employ any of those poisonous substances, if not every one of them had cured certain forms of disease. Inasmuch * This was written in the year 1839.—IlerapeL 364 ARSENICUM ALBUM. as it cannot be denied that every one of those poisons has effected the cure of certain forms of disease, it follows that the blasphemous definition of those purists conlradicts itself, and is therefore absurd. To clear themselves of the suspicion of being inconsistent, they resort lo a subterfuge, and state that those poisons have been more frequently hurtful than useful. But have they been hurtful in them- selves or on account of the bad use which has been made of them 'I They do not regulate their own use, and, if they have been useful in one single instance, it is because they can be productive of good in all cases. To such teachings the regular manufacturers of Materia Medica's have replied, "lhat Arsenic does harm, even when corrected by an alkali." It is not the Arsenic which does harm, but those who make a wrong use of it. And what is the alkali to do ? Is it to weaken the Arsenic, to change its nature ? In this lalter case the salt of Arsenic ceases to be Arsenic and has become something different from Arsenic. If the intention is merely to weaken the Arsenic, is not this re- sult accomplished more reasonably and adequately by reducing the dose ? Who can tell what change is wrought in Arsenic by a corrigens ? If one tenth of a grain is too much, where is the objection to giving less? I hear it said : one tenth of a grain is the smallest weight used in practice. Who could prescribe less with- out making himself ridiculous. Indeed ! one tenth of a grain sometimes endangers life, and giving less should be contrary to rule ? Is not this deriding common sense ? Have the rules of practice been established for irrational slaves or for men endowed with rationality and free will ? Who or what prevents them from giving a smaller dose when a larger one would prove dangerous ? Obstinacy 1 Dogmatism ? or what other fetter of the mind ? "Yes," say they, " arsenic would still be hurtful even if we used only one hundredth or one thousandth of a grain. Arsenic, even when used in a very small quantity, is never- theless a virulent poison; we proclaim this ex audhoritate." Supposing you have hit the truih, it must likewise be true that by diminishing the dose gradually, we must ARSENICUM ALBUM. • 365 finally arrive at a quantity which has nolhing of the dan- ger of your orthodox dose of one tenth of a grain. " Such a dose would be something newaltogiher. What sort of a dose w ould lhat be ?" Novelty is indeed a heinous crime in the eyes of the orthodox doctors, infatuated with ihe dregs of their school, and whose minds have lost all their independence in the tyranny of hoary rules. What miserable law, or what anything else, can prevent the physician, who ought to be a scholar, a thinking and free man, from attenuating a dose by reducing its quantity ? Why should he not give t„Vttt or one millionth of a grain, if experience teaches him that one thousandth of a gram is loo strong? And if he should discover by experi- ence that even TH'n7 of a grain is still too powerful, why should he not reduce the dose to one millionth or one bil- lionth? And if even this dose should be too powerful, why not descend to one quadrillions or lower? But here my opponents, suffocating as it were in the bog of hoary prejudice, will exclaim: " Ha ! ha ! ha ! that is nothing!" Why not ? Does a substance which has been divided ever so minutely, lose any of its original properties? Even if divided, as it were, to an endless extent, does not something of the original substance remain ? What sound mind would conlradici this? And if something of the original substance remains, why should not that something have some effect? What that effect is, cannot be decided speculatively, but has to be learr.ed by experience. Experience alone can decide whether this small portion is loo feeble to relieve the dis- ease for which it is suitable. Experience, however, has decided alrcacfy, continues to decide every day in the eyes of every unprejudiced man. Having done with the wiseacre who derides the small doses of Homoeopathy wilhout consulting experience, I now proceed to say a few words to the cautious hypocrite who likewise declaims about the dangerous nature of ho- moeopalhic doses, without rhyme or reason. If one tenth of a grain of arsenic is in many cases a dan- gerous dose, is not then ToV? much less so? And if this 366 ARSENICUM ALBUM. latter dose be weaker than the former, must not the mild- ness of the dose increase in proportion to the reduction it undergoes ? Well, then, if a suitable reduction of the dose will make the arsenic a harmless drug, all we have to do in that case is, to find out by experiment to what an extent the dose ought to be reduced, to act in such a manner as will effect the cure of disease without affecting the body medicinally. Experience alone, and not the narrow speculative and dogmatic science of theorists can decide, how far a dose, of such a heroic remedy as arsenic is, ought to be reduced without losing any of the curative power which it is capa- ble of exercising in the treatment of disease, and without exposing the patient to the danger of being affected by it medicinally. The dose which is used for purposes of heal- ing, ought to be powerful enough to cure the strongest man of a disease to which arsenic is homoeopathic, and not so strong as would even affecl the organism of a healthy child. No reasonable physician can be satisfied with practising within the limits of antiquated rules derived from specula- tive theories, instead of from pure experiments. His object is to cure the sick; and ihe innumerable powers of nature, without excluding any, have been assigned to him to effect that process of regeneration. And to carry out such noble ends, he ought to have a right to dispose of the curative powers of nature ; for the preservation, or the partial re- generation of the body, is a more noble deed than any of the boasted deeds of hislory ; but he ought to be likewise permitted to employ those powers in that form and quan- tity, which seem to him the most adequate and the most conformable to experience and wisdom; in this respect no restriction ought to be imposed upon him as a free and in- dependent mai», provided he is endowed with the necessary power and knowledge to preserve human life, and wiih that delicate conscience which every one whom God has ap- pointed a guardian of human life should possess. Le\ every one who is deficient in mind, in reflection, in knowledge, in sense of duty, in lender sympathy for the welfare of man, in one word, who is deficient in pure vir- tue, stay away from the sublimest of all earthly profes- sions, the profession of Medicine. The practising Medi- ARSENICUM ALBUM. 367 cine ought to be a constant and pure act of worship! Away with the false doctors who profess to be preservers of human life, but whose heads are filled with vain deceit, whose hearts are bloated with criminal levity, whose lips scorn and deride truth, and whose hands minister lo ruin and death. The effects of arsenic may be relieved by smelling of ipecacuanha, hepar s., or nux v., according to circum- stances.
