DBRARY OF THE NATIONAL CENTER FUl HOMOEOPATHY % Copyright, 1879, by Constantine Hering. DR. CHAS. G. RAUE, HIS FORMER PUPLL AND ASSISTANT, FOR SEVEN TEARS HIS COLLEAGUE AS PROFESSOR IN THE HAHNEMANN COLLEGE, OF PHILADELPHIA, AND FOREVER HIS TRUE FRIEND, THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED. CONSTANTINE HERING. PREFACE. In placing this work before the profession, the author wishes it to be understood that it is not with any desire to have such condensed work supersede the study and use of the more complete Materia Medica; nor is it on account of any supposed incorrectness or unreliability of the original works of Hahnemann, for these, after nearly three-fourths of a century of daily searching scrutiny, must be accepted as bearing the imprint of being wrought by a master mind—almost intuitive perception having guided in the work. The real object in preparing this work, has been to give in a condensed form, to the student of Homoe- opathy, such absolutely necessary material, as would enable him, in a comparatively short time, to gain knowledge of such inportant leading symptoms and conditions as are characteristic of each remedy— knowledge which is imperatively necessary for every- day practice. The large and more complete works present by their size, if by nought else, great obstacles to the rapid acquirement of a practical knowledge of the genius of each remedy. In order to overcome this, efforts have been made in the past to condense the (▼) PREFACE. vi material of the larger works. Clinical experience only can verify symptoms obtained through prov- ings; this we are gaining daily, and profiting thereby. Year by year we have been enabled, through such experience, to separate wheat from tares. We have now garnered at least a fair percentage of good wheat —and the harvest season is not yet over. The material for this work has been culled from the manuscript and other material collected for a much larger work on verified and important symptoms, viz., " Guiding Symptoms," now in process of publication, on which many years of careful research have been bestowed. Not all of our remedies are herein given, inasmuch as this work is intended for a text-book, a manual, not a complete Materia Medica; and though it was desirable to condense, it was also necessary to give the really useful symptoms sufficiently complete to make up the picture of each remedy so as to be practically useful, thus making it impossible to give more reme- dies, without so increasing the bulk as to render the book unsuited to its purpose. Regarding the arrangement of symptoms, it will be found to correspond to that used in the " Analytical Therapeutics;" for full explanation, see introduction to the same, The symptoms of each remedy are divided into forty- eight chapters—thus, * Mind and disposition; this con- tains all mental states. 2 Sensorium, embracing over- sensitiveness and irritability of brain and senses; ver- tigo ; dulness, etc. 3 Inner head, pains, etc. 4 Outer vii PREFACE. head, symptoms of bones, periosteum, skin and hair; also motions and positions of head. 5 Sight and eyes. 6 Hearing and ears. 7 Smell and nose. 8 Face, includ- ing expression, etc. 9 Lower jaw, outer mouth, chin, and submaxillary glands. 10 Teeth and gums. u Taste, speech and tongue. 12 Inner mouth. 13 Palate and throat. 14 Desire for food and drink. 15 Effects of eating and drinking. 16 Gastric symptoms. 17 Epigas- tric region. 18 Hypochondria. 19 Abdomen. 20 Rectum and anus, including emission of flatus, stools, hemor- rhoids. 21 Urinary organs and urine. 22 Male functions and organs. s Female organs. M Pregnancy and par- turition, including mammae; also infants at the breast. 25 Voice and larynx. 26 Respiration. w Cough. K Inner chest and lungs. 29 Heart and circulation. 30 Outer chest. '3I Neck and back. ® Upper limbs. 33 Lower limbs. u All the limbs. 35 Rest, motion and position; modalities will be indexed so as to refer to chapter number. MNerves; this chapter embraces symptoms pertaining more especially to the vervous system; trembling, spasms, weakness, lameness or paralysis. 37 Sleep and dreams. w Times of day, indexed. 39 Tem- perature and weather, indexed. 40 Chill, fever and sweat. 41 Attacks and periodicity, indexed. ** Sides and relation to space, indexed. * Sensations; predominating feel- ings. u Tissues—in a work of this character but little need be said on this subject. In the " Guiding Symp- toms" more prominence is given thereto. ^Passive motion, contact, injuries, etc. 46 Skin. 47 Stages of life, constitution, diathesis, dyscrasia. 48 Relationship with other drugs. For convenience and to save space, some PREFACE. vm of these headings have been shortened, throughout the work. The i corresponding to the third degree of distinc- tion in Boenninghausen's Repertory, has here more significance than in the " Guiding Symptoms;" there it stands before symptoms verified by cures, here it marks in most instances characteristic symptoms. The Greek letter 0 (theta), is occasionally used (not as extensively as in the Guiding Symptoms) before the pathological or physiological state to which the symp- tom refers. Every care has been bestowed that this might prove a reliable manual for the use of students, particularly the profession. The thanks of the author are due to Dr. C. G. Raue, for his careful and systematic arrangement • of the mind symptoms; to Drs. Korndoerfer and Farrington for their assistance on the first edition, and to Drs. Knerr and Mohr for assistance on the second ; also to those friends who have kindly sent in corrections and additions. Constantine Hering. PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. In the preparation of this, the third edition of Hering's Condensed Materia Medica, additions have been made and a few typographical errors cor- rected, but in justice to the lamented author, no altera- tions have been made in the substance of the text as he left it. More than twenty new remedies, arranged after the plan of the book, are given in full; and over forty partially proved drugs, with brief but distinctive indi- cations, are added to the sections on " Relationship." These latter are arranged and classified in alphabetical order on page xvi. Besides all this, about six hundred choice and well- attested symptoms have been incorporated in their proper places in the text. All the late works have been drawn upon for the new material, and even private sources have been unsparingly taxed; but still, great caution has been used in making selections. The plans and purposes of the book demand clinical as well as pathogenetic symptoms. But of the former sort only those have been employed which agree with the provings, and which show every evidence of genuine- (ix) PREFACE. x ness. Such discrimination demands the exercise of one's best judgment, and the expenditure of much time. But it is believed the benefits to be derived far out- weigh the trouble. The book is now offered to the profession and to students, not as a rival of other works, but as a rich treasury full of information common to homoeopathic literature, and also of gleanings from the vast collection which Dr. Hering made during a busy half-century of medical study and labor.

Muscarine is very similar to Pilocarpine (jaborandi), since both cause arrest of heart's action; profuse sweat; sali- vation, lachrymation; contracted pupils, etc. Muscarine acts more on the lachrymal glands, less on sweat and salivary glands; Pilocarpine causes more urging to uri- nate. Muscarine, given internally, contracts the pupil more than Pilocarpine; used topically, only the former dilates the pupil. Gelsem. is here similar to Muscarine.
