TROW, PRINTER, 114 Nassau-street, New-York. INTRODUCTION. I. The General Design and Composition of this Volume. In placing before the public the second volume of our work, which, like the first, has been revised and entirely remodelled, we are compelled to express our regret that the greater part of the French Physicians have attached too much importance to the old Repertory, which we had annexed to the German edition, merely as a simple appen- dix and alphabetical register. Estimating the Materia Medica and the summaries of the Text (lstvol.) as the only basis on which investigations should be established, our design has been by no means to furnish absolute indica- tions, but only to give instructions for making just re- searches. This Repertory has been arranged to be em- ployed in common with the summaries of the Text, Mate- ria Medica and other practical works of Homceopathia, but not in place of them ; whence it is, among the indications given, that we have frequently exceeded the Text, in re- cording^piany symptoms which its concise summaries did not contain, but which have been collated from other Ho- moeopathic works. In consequence of this a partial discre- pancy has arisen between the two volumes of our work, which, nevertheless, will not incommode those who are at all familiar withthe sources from whence we have derived our information, but which ought to be vexatious to those whose knowledge of Homoeopathic works does not extend beyond our Manual. A complaint has, also, been occa- sionally urged, without reflection, that whenever an accu- rate correspondence existed between the Text and the Re- pertory, the latter should not have been altered, which would, to the extent, only afford a convenience to the stu- dent of pathogenesis, while it would be quite unsuited, in IV INTRODUCTION. itself, to answer as a sure guide to those who have no pre- vious knowledge of the Materia Medica. On this account, however desirous we have been to harmonize the two volumes of this work, we have deemed it essentially important to give this a form, which would render it more useful to beginners than were the fragmen- tary indications of the old Repertory, and in every respect a most unerring guide. We have, therefore, placed at the head of each chapter, and under the title of Clinical Re- marks, the Indications in detail of each of the prominent drugs to be consulted in respect to the different forms of disease; and, regarding these indications as the most essential part of this Manual, we have taken all possible pains to arrange them in such a manner that, in the greater number of cases, the old Repertory can be entirely dis- pensed with, while the student can, in his researches, pass directly from the Clinical Remarks to the Summaries of the Text. Thus it is that the old Repertory forms, in reality, a kind of supplement to this new edition, which wilt prove of utility to the physician in particular cases, but to which we ascribe only a secondary importance in the definite choice of a medicament. This Repertory has been revised with equal care, and enriched \vith all the new symptoms of the Text; and it will be generally observed that it is infinitely in advance of the prior edition in preserving the correspondence of the two volumes. In the mean time, the exact terms of the Repertory will not be always found in the Text, as it is the sense and not the letter of the ex- pression that has guided us in its registration, and as we have frequently compiled many synonymous expressions in a single article. It will be frequently observed also, that a symptom of the Repertory which is not recorded in the corresponding chapter of the Text, will be found in another chapter, and making part of another group of symptoms; and in other cases still, when the pathogenesis of a medi- cament appears to contain no direct trace of a symptom recorded in the Repertory, it will suffice to read it with at- tention to ascertain the indirect reasons which were suffi- cient for its registration. Frequently, also, may these rea- sons be found clearly indicated in the Clinical Remarks-of this second volume, where we have sometimes added details which, resulting from the totality of symptoms, would have proved but useless repetitions in the Text. In conclusion the more the reader familiarizes himself with the contents of our work, the more he will find the indications of the INTRODUCTION. V Repertory to correspond with the rest, especially as the Text embodies them essentially as to sense.* As to the distribution of material in the Repertory, we have adopted as many Chapters as there are Artides in the Text, and have pursued the same order by making each Chapter of the Repertory correspond to an Article of the Summary, commencing with the General Symptoms, Skin, Fevers and Mind ; after which follow the special organs in their accustomed order. In our second edition, we had arranged in each Chap- ter, both the Mature of the Sensations and Conditions under one alphabetical order; but in this we have concluded to separate each of the articles under a particular alphabeti- cal order, so that four sections will be ordinarily found in each chapter: 1, Clinical Remarks, 2, Svmptoms, 3, Con- ditions, and 4>, Concomitant Symptoms. As to the manner in which'we have handled our material in each one of the sections, a judgment can be formed by examining atten- tively any orre of the chapters ; and, in our additional re- marks, we only offer some general commentaries on the contents of the Chapters, as our explanations would never cease were we to enter upon all the details of our concep- tion. .II- The Special Arrangement of the Repertory. 1. Clinical Remarks. The essential part of this Repertory, as we have before * It is quite an easy matter to find errors in the mechanical part of a work such as our Repertory of Symptomatology; but whoever should essay to make a similar work would precisely un- derstand the difficulty of avoiding them all. This applies to an original work; but when it becomes necessary to harmonize with the°French Text, a Repertory founded on the expressions of the German Text, the preplexities augment enormously. The only mode of remedying it would be to compose an entirely new Re- pertory on the French Text, which we should undoubtedly have done had we believed a practical advantage would have been de- rived at all in proportion to the time and labour it would have required. But when correcting the German Repertory, we per- ceived at a glance that its recomposition on the French Text would only bear on some expressions vague in themselves, and therefore determined to consecrate our time to more essential amendments, such as Clinical Remarks, &c. VI INTRODUCTION. stated, consists in the Clinical Remarks which are to be found at the head of each Chapter. We had, at one time, the intention of uniting them all in alphabetical order at the beginning of the volume; but, on the other hand, consid- ering the advantage that would flow from a union of Dis- eases una the Symptoms they represent, in the same chapter, we preferred to register the articles on diseases in the cor- responding chapters of the Repertory. This arrangement, it is true, is so far inconvenient as this, that the diseases are not classed after any regular plan, having neither scien- tific nor strictly alphabetical order. But as the power of finding each article is the most important consideration, we have very much modified the inconvenience resulting to practice from our arrangement, by giving at the end of this volume an alphabetical register of all the articles which are to be found in the Clinical Remarks of the different chapters, and besides, have repeated the name of the affec- tions for every place where it is to be sought, by referring to the chapter where they are treated. In the composition of the Clinical articles we have gen- erally followed the arrangement of Haas, Ruoff, and Ritck- ert; but instead of giving, as these authors have done, a mere compilation of isolated facts, of which a precise coun- terpart would rarely occur in practice, we have endeavour- ed to furnish for the employment of each medicament, gen- eral data, applicable to almost every case where a drug might be indicated. The sources from which we have de- rived these data, have been the Clinical cases published by the various authors of our school, as well as the practical result given by Hahnemann, Hartmann, Hering, &c., joined to the indications our own experience has disclosed. At the same time, we have considered it useful to exceed these clinical observations, and to indicate, besides the medica- ments already tested by experience, others which might be occasionally consulted in extremities. But to avoid error we have, in quoting the doubtful drugs, added the word perhaps, that we may be clearly understood to advise that our opinion should be confirmed by further experience. The plan we have adopted of treating these articles is, in reference to all, as uniform and simple as possible. We ordinarily commence with an appercu of the principal med- icaments against the affection in general; then follow the medicines against the varieties of this affection and the causes which have produced it; and finally we conclude by establishing the particular indications for the employ- ment of each medicament cited. In this last part we have INTRODUCTION. vn almost always founded many categories of medicaments for consultation by constantly using the first with more details than the following, and by frequently referring the residue to the pathogenesis of medicaments or to other analogous medicines, in order to escape all confusion. Those who may compare our Clinical Remarks with the articles contained in the works of Haas, Ruoff and Riick- ert, will perceive, at the first glance, that, besides a large number of details, we have contributed a much greater number of articles and more perfect indications. At the end of the volume we have also added an entirely new essay on cases of poisoning and drug diseases, especially profiting by the excellent indications given by Hering on this subject. In the mean time it would be a great error to suppose that we had exhausted all pathology in our ar- ticles. On the contrary, we have only desired to treat of those maladies which are most frequent and most known, leaving it to time and to experience to furnish other and more accurate indications. The finished practitioner, in reading our articles and the indications we have given for the choice of medica- ments, will frequently find, without doubt, that we have said nothing new to him, and that, in truth, any physician thoroughly acquainted with the characteristic symptoms of medicines could dispense with these articles, or even com- pose those which would be preferable. This is indeed but too true ; and if our labours only concerned those physi- cians who are alike accomplished in a knowledge of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica and Medicine in general, we should have been more careful in the construction of our articles, or should have abstained altogether from the publication of this Manual. But those, for whom we have written this work are principally neophytes in Homoeopa- thia, who, without having had the time as yet to make long andlaborious studies in the Materia Medica, have been obliged to use it, and to select a suitable remedy from among a number of which they do not know any one suffi- ciently well. In indicating to them for each affection, the name only of twenty or thirty medicines, how is it possi- ble that they should recognize the cases in which one should be chosen more than another 1 It may be said to them that this should be the remedy which, by its symp- toms best corresponds with the indications of an individual Vlll INTRODUCTION. case ; they incessantly demand : But what are the symptoms which, in such or such a case, indicate such or such a medica- ment 1 To refer them, in a final answer, to a comparison of the symptoms of all the medicines would be, we confess, the most convenient expedient for us, but not the most ex- peditious for them, who, in an urgent case, could not delay the choice to the pursuance of the profound studies the predicament might demand. For them, a labour* which groups the most suitable medicaments, with their principal symptoms, for each affection, is a veritable guide, as indis- pensable to them as it may appear superfluous to the ini- tiated practioner. It will be unquestionably urged, that the contribution of such aid to beginners is the lending of too much assist- ance to idleness and ignorance, and that such measures must estrange new adepts from serious and profound stu- dies. As for ourselves, we have too good an opinion of the French physicians who embrace our doctrine, to believe that, when they have once commenced their investigations, they will fail to free themselves of such imputations by appropriate and scientific studies. But if it occur, that there are those who reject serious occupation, and prefer to live on the reflections of others, we think it safer even to furnish them with detailed indications than to suffer them to select at hap-hazard from among medicaments with which they are superficially acquainted. Man is usu- ally fond of instruction, but he does not always love to be occupied with matters the practical importance of which he does not comprehend, especially when the labours they demand are long and numerous. To encourage rather than to alienate them from labour will be most readily ac- complished by clearing away the first difficulties of study, and making them perceive the necessity of it by examples.* Besides, on examining our articles closely, and using * In expressing these ideas, we are by no means ignorant that there are men who not only think, but still prodaim°that any ig- noramus can practice Homoeopathia provided he can spell the symptoms of a Repertory, and who think to find a mechanism through the aid or which the appropriate drug can be obtained by taking for each symptom the sick complains of, the name of a medicament. These people, it is true, are very sorrowful appari- tions along the horizon of Homceopathia; but, by the grace of God, they are rare exceptions, and no person need confound them with the serious and enlightened who practise our art. No one need fear that they will ever form a school among judicious intel- INTRODUCTION. IX them frequently, our readers will be convinced that we have by no means entertained the idea of preparing a work which the first comer migh.t open to find at once, without trouble or reflection, the needed and appropriate remedy, as if it were a book of ready made calculations. The indi- cations we have given have been intended to put the prac- titioner on the right path, but not to save him the trouble of pursuing his journey ; and all our remarks, far from an- swering for every case, would frequently leave him unde- cided unless he should have recourse, in the last required analysis7to the entire pathogenesis of the medicaments, or even in case of necessity, to the original Materia Medica. But the advantage which these instructions give, is the power of distinguishing, in a given case, some two or three medicaments for detailed consultation ; for such assist- ance, among twenty or thirty drugs, must necessarily di- minish very much protracted research. Finally, the Clin- ical Remarks contain a summary of the most characteristic symptoms of the medicaments, still more concise than those of the Text, and principally of those which most particularly refer to the affection qf which it treats, and it is especially for this reason that they require completion through the ulterior details of the Text every time that it is necessary to make a final decision among the two or three appropriate medicaments. Another objection arrayed in judgment against us has been that, in our Clinical Remarks, we have taken for our point of investigation the pathological names, which are opposed to the principles of our school. To this we an- swer : " ce ?f est point V habit qui fait le moinef if we may be allowed the use of a proverbial expression that best con- veys our meaning. It is of little importance in the choice of a remedy, whether we take for our point of investigation the name of a simple symptom or a prominent symptom, or finally, of a group of symptoms, provided, that the single name of neither one nor the other, but the totality of symp- toms, only be allowed to decide the choice. But it would be even preferable in making our researches to select a name, which at least represents certain forms of possible suffering, than to imitate certain ultra purists, who, while they shun every form of investigation through the agency of a pathological name, have not the least hesitation in deciding absolutely by a single name, and frequently badly selected, of an isolated sensation which is always chosen with much difficulty if well done. No, indeed! when the father of Homceopathia raised his objections to the abuse X INTRODUCTION. of pathological names, his intention was to communicate to the physicians that he attached no importance, to the word or to the name, but to the sense and the spirit of the subject; and the best proof we have to offer is, that Hahnemann, himself, makes use of these expressions whenever he de- sires to indicate by a single word a certain form of affec- tions; thus we find everywhere throughout his writings that he utters these words: Cholera Phthisis,Haemorrhoids, Amenorrhea, &c, without fear of'committing the slightest indiscretion. But even if it were otherwise, the more we are convinced that the name is unessential to the subject, the more we ought to assent that these names should be used to indicate in a general manner what could be consecutive- ly determined and individualized; moreover, when they would serve, as in this place, to facilitate to the physicians of the old school access to our science, and to offer to them points of investigation with which they are already familiar. The greater part of the names we have used only designate the prominent symptom and not the conjec- tural cause of the malady, and in such a manner that those, who reproach us, would be equally compelled to erase from our vocabulary a large number of expressions which we are constantly using to distinguish simple symptoms; 2. Symptoms of the Repertory. In the second section of each chapter will be found the Symptoms, literally named, which were arranged in the old Repertory under the title of Mature of the Sensations. We have placedthem, as before, in alphabetical order, although we do not regard this distribution as the best; but every other classification that we have attempted presenting equally serious faults and inconveniences, we have deemed it preferable to preserve that form to which the community is already accustomed. To avoid the inconvenience which the alphabetical order presents, in separating that which by- its nature ought to be united, we have frequently referred from one expression to another in order to compare their synonymes. As to the subdivisions of the chapters we have considerably diminished them in this edition, in such a manner that, in every chapter corresponding to an article of the pathogenesis of the medicaments, will now be found all the symptoms arranged in single alphabetical order Thus in the chapter on Fevers, for example, where for- merly chills, heat, &c. formed separate subdivisions it will INTRODUCTION. XI be found in the present edition that the chilis are arranged under the letter C, heat under H, &c, and that in affections of the head, vertigo and stupefaction are placed under their respective capitals among other symptoms of the head, &c. Our design in adopting this order has been to simplify the researches as much as possible. Many of our friends have expressed a desire to see in the Repertory, as in the Text, the clinical symptoms distin- guished from the others ; but the execution of such a plan requires six classes of different characters to designate the medicines underlined and not underlined in each of the three classes of symptoms that we have established, and the distinction of medicaments, by means of signs placed at each abbreviation, menacing to enlarge the volume of this work too extensively, we have renounced this project, and have done it with less regret, since the Clinical Re- marks placed at the head of the chapters render this dis- tinction almost superfluous. In respect to the distinction of medicaments by Italic characters, we had at one time the intention of abandoning it,- observing that it was as likely to lead to error as to the selection of a good remedy ; for how frequently does it not happen that the totality of symptoms is such that a medicament not underlined may answer better than any other, although it may appear less in relation with the symptom that should by this rule be regarded as the prominent one. And in the majority of cases, all the medicines which have the same characteristic symptom, have in this respect absolutely the same value, since the totality of symptoms only can give a preference of one over the other. Thus it is, for exam- ple, that Coffee has no more value than Aconite, Arsenic or Chamomilla for anger or discouragement from slight suffer- ing; the choice is here to be decided by the other symp- toms which characterize the case. If then, notwithstand- ing the objections, we have preserved the distinction of Italic letters, it has been with respect to symptoms where there was a mass of designated medicaments, in order to meet those sooner for whom the symptom is most confirm- ed, than those for whom the symptom is most characteris- tic ; a shade the.observation of which may sometimes be useful, without, in the mean time, meriting too much atten- tion, if the symptoms of the drug have been well observed. The Italic characters of the Repertory must not be con- founded with those of the Text, seeing that two different principles have dictated them. The object of the Text has "been to compare and distinguish the symptoms of the same xii INTRODUCTION. medicament by themselves, while that of the Repertory has been to compare and distinguish the medicaments which have the same symptom. Take for illustration any medicament the symptoms of which number a hundred, and suppose that it presents two cases of comatose sleep and one ot sleeplessness, we should, of course, put the first symp- tom in Italics; but if afterwards, in the Repertory, we compare this medicament with others, in which the obser- vations of this symptom are infinitely more confirmed, such as Opium, lachesis, &c, we must necessarily give it an in- ferior rank, until renewed observations progress to confirm it in the same manner. Thus it will happen that medica- ments will be frequently found in the Repertory in ordina- ry characters, the symptoms of which are printed in the Text in Italics, and vice versa. In comparing^ section of Symptoms, with that of Clin- ical Remarks, articles will be frequently found registered in both sections. They are those which, according to the manner of viewing them, can be considered just as much Diseases as simple Symptoms, such for example as Debili- tyJ Sleeplessness, Coma, &c. Having treated these arti- cles in each place in different aspects, it need not cause surprise that a much larger number of medicaments will be constantly found among the Symptoms than under the Clin- ical Remarks. 3. The Conditions under which the Symptoms appear. We have been frequently requested to record the circum- stances, immediately beneath the symptoms to which they belong. The idea is quite natural, and if we had well settled expressions in our vocabulary of symptomatology, nothing would be more convenient, nor more easy to execute. But when considering the great mass of synonymous expres- sions such as, for example, cramplike, contractive, constric- tive, and drawing pains, anguish, inquietude, anxiety, &c, dyspnoea, difficulty oj respiration, &c, we found that we should be absolutely compelled to repeat each condition for each one of the synonymous expressions, or* refer constantly from one to the other, which would fatigue the reader in his researches and augment the volume of this work at least one third. These difficulties, it is true, would not in the mean time hinder the execution of the thing if it were absolutely necessary ; but it is equally evident, 'in the greater number of instances, that a condition which exists INTRODUCTION. Xlll for one kind of pain or labour of respiration, or every other kind of suffering, can be regarded as existing also for every like kind of suffering in an organ. Thus may a rending toothache, which the Mercury produces be aggravated at night from the heat of the bed, as would a lancinating tooth- ache, inc. But the difference that presents itself is, that neither the same pains in the different organs, nor the dif- ferent kinds of phenomena in the same organ, necessarily show themselves under the same conditions; so that it would be entirely false to suppose that a medicament which produces, for example, pains of the stomach at eve- ning will also produce in the evening the vomiting peculiar to it; and whilst it produces pressive pains of the stomach at evening, it can be reputed also to produce at the same period the cramp-like pains of the stomach contained in its pathogenesis. On this account no one condition will be found for every kind of separate pain, but always for the entire class of phenomena, such as Cephalalgia, Vertigo, Pains in the Stom- ach, &c, in general, when many expressions will be fre- quently noticed, such as Feebleness, Lassitude, Fatigue, Pros- tration, &c, which we have reunited to indicate the totali- ty of conditions. In the General symptoms, Affections of the Skin, Fevers, Sleep, Mind,8fc, we have preferred to indicate the circumstances in sub-order to the suite of symptoms ; whilst in the greater part of the particular organs it has ap- peared most advantageous to us to indicate them separate- ly, and to register in sub-order the phenomena to which they belong. In our first edition we had separated by sub-divisions the Aggravations and Ameliorations; but in this we have found it more convenient to arrange both in sub-order of the condition to which they belong, in indicating by the abbreviations Am. or Amel. the medicaments which have ameliorated in this condition ; whilst those which have ag- gravated or have appeared under the same condition have been placed beyond this condition, either without any par- ticular indication, or with indication of the symptoms which aggravate it or which appear under this condition. As to the distinction between Aggravation and Apparition of symptoms, it appears to us the more superfluous, when we have not observed it in the Text, and when experience has appeared to us to prove, what has scarcely an exception, that a condition which aggravates a symptom can also pro- voke it, and vice versa.

Concomitant Symptoms. ter er orgai.o „l.^., ^^^v,...^^.v —,---------- -x --, such, for example, as Mausea, Colics, Fainting, that attend Vertigo, Cephalalgia, &c, which may be found in the Concom- itant Symptoms of the chapter of the Head, and consecutively for the other organs. In the mean time the utility of this sec- tion is not as great as it would seem at the first glance, and perhaps it would have been better to have omitted it, so far as it concerns the beginner, who, in neglecting to reflect, might frequently be led into error. Take, for example, a tooth-ache which is attended with great Aggravation, while the residue of the symptoms indicate Aconite ; the beginner, in looking for this combination among the concomitant symptoms of Tooth-ache, and not finding the Aconite, will he not necessarily address himself to some other medicament he finds registered \ And yet the Aconite would be per- fectly indicated, since it produces, in general, a great ag- gravation to the slightest pain, and during general suffer- ings. But the simple reason why he did not find this reg- istered among the medicaments which have Aggravation with tooth-ache, is that no such precise local combination exists, and that if we were to introduce into each section of the Concomitant Symptoms all the combinations that reason and good sense indicated, we ought to repeat the entire Repertory in each one of the sections, an essay, in fact an absurdity, that would be without a parallel. It ought only to be with the most profound precau- tion that we should use the indications which are to be found in the Concomitant Symptoms, not that the medica- ments there registered may be inexact in themselves, but because they may not be sufficient, and because, to be per- fectly sure of the fact, we ought to complete the combina- tions by all the rest of the symptoms of the other organs. It is only in a case where the rest of the symptoms accord equally well, that we should give a preference to that with which the combination sought for is perfect; but when any one of the medicaments having this combination does not accord entirely, we should not hesitate to address ourselves to another which shall comprise the totality of symptoms even when it may not offer them exactly in the combina- tion required. Nothing can be more absurd than a desire to practise INTRODUCTION. XV Homoeopathia according to the mere single indications of a Repertory. It is absolutely impossible to choose the medicaments well without having a sufficiently general knowledge of the pathogenesis of each of them, in order to make thousands and thousands-of combinations that the Repertory does not indicate, and which it could not indi- cate unless its boundaries were enlarged for the reception of all imaginable eventualities! Also the combinations we have given in the Clinical Remarks will not suffice at all for every case ; all that they can afford, as also the Concomitant Symptoms, is to aid in placing the beginner in the right path ; but he should stop by a sure aim at the first step, and remain to familiarize himself with the Ma- teria Medica itself, and to vivify, by the spirit of patho- genesis, the dead letter of the Repertory. III. Instructions for using this Repertory. Having concluded our remarks on the design and com- position of the second volume of our Manual, it is almost superfluous to add any further particular instruction for its use, the more especially, as those who have acquired the principles of our doctrine and a knowledge of the Ma- teria Medica, know themselves, better than we can teach them, how they ought to apply this second part. And as to those, who, ignorant of the rudiments of Homceopathia, without ever having seen the Organon, or Materia Medica, or any other work which treats of our doctrine, would nevertheless practise according to our Manual, the best in- struction in the world can do them no good ; the Reper- tory will be of no more service to them in selecting the appropriate remedy than the best Vocabulary, with every possible explanation, would enable a person to comprehend Tacitus or Cicero who knew nothing of the grammar or genius of the Latin language. If then, we be tempted to make a few comments on the practical use of our Manual, it is more with the intention of making them comprehend the spirit in which it has been composed than to induce neophytes to practice Homasopathia in a manner both me- chanical and divested of all reason. The Clinical Remarks, in our estimation, should form the basis on which our first researches ought to be estab- lished, and in the greater number of acute diseases they XVI INTRODUCTION. will be found sufficient to enable the practitioner finally to select two or three medicaments for detailed examination. Having established a Record of symptoms from an exami- nation of the patient, the practitioner should directly look to the Clinical Remarks to ascertain whether the Cause of the malady may be Cold, Loss of fluids, &c, or whether the kind of Affection may be Rheumatism, Intermittent Fever, or Typhoid, Syphilis, Ring-worm, &c, and then, by a careful survey of the registered medicaments, he can rea- dily select those which best accord with the affection he desires to treat. Having distinguished, in this manner, two or three medicines which appear to merit a preference, he can next have a recourse to the Text to ascertain which medicament entirely corresponds with the totality of symp- toms. Thence, in very marked acute cases, he will most frequently and readily reach the most suitable medica- ment. In chronic diseases, and in Affections^ of which the seat and kind are doubtful, the subject, it is true, is ordinarily more complicated ; and frequently cases will be present- ed where the Clinical Remarks do not afford sufficient in- dications to distinguish, at once, a small number of medi- caments for consultation, according to the mode of having recourse to the symptoms of the Repertory. To abridge the researches as much as possible, in this instance, the practitioner should take only two or three salient points in the table of symptoms, such, for example, as the Cause which engenders the malady, the salient pathognomonic symptom, the extraordinary condition under which the symp- toms are aggravated or ameliorated, or, finally, the charac- teristic concomitant symptom. By investigating the medi- caments which correspond to each one of these three points, we shall soon reach, in the majority of cases, a sufficiently limited number to carry out our ulterior re- searches in the Text. The difficulty does not always consist in finding what we seek : the essential point is to find what we ought to seek; and this has always proved a stumbling block to be- ginners. Nothing, in fact, can be more difficult than es- tablishing a perfect correspondence between the symp- toms of the patient and those of the medicament. It is generally said that the characteristic symptoms ou'o-ht to accord ; but what are the characteristic symptoms 1 *What are the essential points to which we should direct our at- tention 1 Is it the cause which produces the malady 1 Are they the pathognomonic symptoms ? The organ wound- INTRODUCTION. XVU ed 1 Or, indeed, the conditions under which the symptoms manifest themselves, or the general symptoms which ac- company the local symptoms ? Is it the kind of pain or its seat? In our opinion, no one of these points alone is es- sential; but the whole together, and each one according to its value. The cause, in conjunction with the local and pathognomonic symptoms, indicates the kind or family of medicaments we ought to consult; the conditions and con- comitant and general symptoms distinguish that which is specific to any given case. In the mean time, it will not be less true to say that the general and accessory symptoms with the conditions indicate the kind of medicaments to be con- sulted, among which the cause and local and pathognomo- nic symptoms consequently distinguish the specific for a given case. But to whichever side we go, we shall equally reach the same conclusion, provided, in the research for the medicament, we consider every poini in an impartial manner. Frequently, and in the greater number of cases, we have trouble in finding a medicament which corresponds in every respect, while we discover many others which ac- cord in a single point, so that it remains to us to know to which of these the preference must be given. We prompt- ly reply, that it should be undoubtedly given to that which best agrees with the individuality of the case, that is, with those symptoms which distinguish a given case from every other case of the same disease. Whence it follows that a medicament, which does not include all the pathognomo- nic symptoms of an affection, but which refers, in general, to the organ injured, and, in particular, to the accidental or constitutional individual symptoms of the sick, should be preferred to that which has all the local and pathogno- monic symptoms, but which does not refer to the indi- vidual symptoms at all. Experience confirms this reason- ing every day; and if one reflects that the greater part of local affections follow an anterior alteration of the vital economy, which decides the preference in accidental or individual symptoms, he can readily explain how frequent- ly a medicament which appears to relate only to some ex- traordinary symptoms, and which also appears to have no correspondence with the malady, has produced cures as radical as they were unexpected. When the cause which has engendered a malady is not known, the accidental and individual symptoms should be retraced with the greatest possible resemblance to the symptoms of a medicament; whilst, on the contrary, the B* xviu INTRODUCTION. cause being evident, and the specific antidote being kn°wn> as, for example, Arnica against mechanical injuries, Mer- cury against syphilitic affections, &c. We can frequently substitute this for characteristic symptoms, provided it is always the particular character of the cause which is evi- dent in the individual symptoms of an affection. Now, as the same cause will frequently affect different individuals in many different manners, according to their age, con- stitution, habits and other peculiarities, which are not always the effects of a single cause, but also those of the individual constitution which is reflected in the individual symptoms, for this reason, in all the cases of the known cause we should be assured by a comparison of the symp- toms of the?absolute fitness of the medicament in question. This precaution is entirely indispensable in every instance where it is most of an antidote against the pathogenetic cause. The proportionate resemblance of the symptoms forms another point which should command our attention in the choice of a medicament. We have before said that the cause, organic lesion and pathognomonic symptoms indicate the kind or family of medicaments to be consulted, while the accidental and individual symptoms enable us to find that which, in a given case, was the true specific. But that this may become as true in practice as in theory, it is yet required that the individual symptoms of the medicament correspond precisely to the individual symptoms of the malady. For the sake of illustration, take an example of phlegmonous angina, with a tendency of the tonsils to sup- purate, and characterized, as to a salient symptom, by burning pains of excoriation. Belladonna, Mercury and Cantharides may be indicated in such a case, since they relate to the pathognomonic symptoms, such as swelling, inflammatory redness of the parts affected, difficult, pain- ful or even impossible deglutition, &c. Belladonna and Mercury may also cover the symptoms of burning (or smarting)pain of excoriation: but the only medicament applicable to this case is the Cantharides, since neither the Mercury nor Belladonna have this symptom in a manner as decided as we suppose it to be in our example, while the Cantharides produces, not only in the throat, but also in all the internal organs, burning pains of excoriation as one of its most distinctive symptoms. On the contrary, in an- other angina of the same pathological nature where in add.tion to burning or smarting pains of excoriation 'the most prominent symptom is an excessive salivation' we INTRODUCTION. XIX should be in great error to suppose Cantharides still indi- cated, because" it also answers to salivation ; for here the Mercury commands the preference, inasmuch as the sali- vation is a more decided peculiarity of it than of the Can- tharides, and also because the salivation is in this case the predominant symptom. From these examples the reader can perceive how per- fectly impossible it is for him to do justice to Homoeopathia in contenting himself to turn over the leaves of a Reper- tory to establish the choice of a good medicament, and how perfectly indispensable to that resulf is a knowledge of the entire Materia Medica. In _ very many cases, ad- vantage cannot be taken of the cases of concrete combi- nations which the Repertory indicates ; but, on the con- trary, it will be necessary to make new combinations, founded on the general character of the medicament, or on the analogies given in another organ than that in which the symptom is sought, and frequently great risk will be run of committing the most serious errors by searching mechanically for the symptoms of disease in the Reper- tory. In our introduction to the studies of the Materia Medica {Jown. de la Doctrine Hahnemanienne, Mo. 3), we have reported an error of this kind, where Mitric acid was chosen against raideur in the back in consequence of cold, for the single reason that the Repertory represented this symptom literally, whilst the combinations made in the spirit of reason would have indicated Rhus toxicodendron. If we wished, we could multiply by the hundred, the mis- takes we have known committed through the mechanical use of our Repertory; but it answers our design to sig- nalize them in a general manner, in order to prevent be- ginners, and especially those who only see a mechanical labour in the researches of the medicaments, from en- countering the numerous shoals on which they can be wrecked. The final advice we have to offer in regard to the profitable use of the Manual is, summarily, to study, espe- cially, the pathogenesis of the medicaments, in order to ac- quire a general idea of their total character, and if, as is almost inevitable, the practitioners who embrace our doc- trine are obliged to use the Repertory before being suffi- ciently familiar with the pathogenesis to appreciate the data it contains: that then, at least, they do not decide before comparing the symptoms of particular organs with the General Symptoms, instructing themselves at the same time by the indications of the Clinical Remarks, and as XX INTRODUCTION. much by General Affections as by particular diseases, and that, moreover, they never apply any medicament without being still assured, by the study of pathogenesis, of a per- fect resemblance of its individuality with that of the disease. In thus using, always simultaneously, the three essential parts of our work, Clinical Remarks, Repertory, and Pa- thogenesis, he will not only defend himself from a multi- tude of deceptions, but will attain, in course of time, the power of omitting every guide, by confining his research- es to the pathogenesis ofthe first volume. We desire to say, in regard to the composition and practical utility of this second and last volume of our work, that we have endeavoured to render it as useful as possible to the practitioner. To imagine it a perfect work, or one that left no room for improvement, would be a delusion far from a compliment to our resources or en- ergies. Such an idea has never been entertained by us. On the contrary, no person is better acquainted than our- selves with the defects of this work, and how much could be still done to render it what it ought to be ; but no per- son knows better than ourselves all the difficulties opposed to its execution; and no person can better judge than we can, just to what point it is impossible to satisfy for the moment all the exigencies of practice ; and all the diffi- culties which, even in a more extended work would not have been easy to surmount, have been considerably aug- mented by the limited form of this Manual, which shackled our progress at almost every step. Convinced of the im- possibility of the enterprise, we have abandoned the idea of having succeeded in any respect for the general satis- faction. All that we demand is, that others will consider the efforts we have made, and the path we have been obli- ged to tread in a science which is only in its infancy. To have contributed, as much as was in our power, to facili- tate to beginners access to the practice of our doctrine is our sole ambition; to soon see another more competent than ourselves put forth a better work is our sole desire ' G.

INTERNAL GENERAL AFFECTIONS. SECTION I.—clinical remarks. [ABSCESS (INTERNAL).—1 tumor containing pus. For acute or phlegmonous abscess the remedies are: Ars. asa. bell. bry. cham. led. hep. mez. phos. puis, and sulph. For chronic or cold abscess may be selected: Asa. aur. calc. carb-veg. con. hep. jod. laur. lye. mang. merc-cor. mere-sol. nit-ac. phos. sep. sil. and sulph. Special indications point to the following remedies: Arsenicum, when there are : violent pains and insuffer- able burning during the febrile stage ; chills, fever, and consec- utive sweat, with secretion of offensive matter during the second period; muscular prostration, trembling, sleepless restlessness and termination in gangrene. Assa fcetida, when the abscess is characterized by : discharge of discoloured and thin matter ; heightened sensi- bility of it and the surrounding parts; and insufferable pain to the touch. Belladonna, when there are : pressing, burning, sting- ing and rending pains ; curdled, flaky matter ; especially in abscess of the liver. Bryonia, when the tumor alternates in colour from red to white, with tension and heat of the skin. Ledum is most useful in the early stage of abscesses when the tumors are painfully distended, stinging, and throbbing. Mezereum is prominently indicated: in abscesses that Vol. II. 1 2 CHAP. I. generalities. originate in fibrous and tendinous structures ; or in the mis- use of Mercury ; and are attended by stinging and throb- bing pains in the ulcer and its border. Pulsatilla, when the abscess bleeds easily, with sting- ing and cutting pains; or violent itcfiing, burning and stinging in the periphery of the abscess ; peculiarly when the veins are varicose ; or after violent and long enduring in- flammations ; and when the areola is quite red. Rhus has been of service : in abscesses of the axillary and parotid glands ; when the tumors were very painful to the touch ; with stinging and gnawing pains ; and dis- charges of ichorous matter. Ed.] ADENITIS.—Inflammation of glands.—See Glands. AN AS ARC A.-D?-opsy of the cellular system-See Chap.ll. ANAEMIA.—Exhaustion of bloods The best medicines in general are : Calc. carb-v. chin. cin. fer. hep. kal. lye. lack. mere. natr. natr-m. n-vom. phos. phos-ac. sep. sil. staph, sulph. verat. If this state arise from debilitating losses, whether of blood or any other humours, the most eligible medicines are: Chin, n-vom. and sulph. or else : Calc. carb-v. cin. phos-ac. staph, and sulph. When caused by violent acute diseases, recourse may be had to : Calc. carb-v. chin. hep. kal- natr. natr-m. n-vom. and veratr. \r~/~ See also : Chlorosis, Weakness, Scurvy, &c. ANEURISM.—A pulsating tumor formed of an artery. The medicines, which have been hitherto employed most successfully, are; Carb-v. lach. and lye. and also: Guaj. pulsat. and sulph.—In some cases recourse may be had to : Calc. caust. and graph, or else to : Amb. am. ars. fer. natr-m. zinc. [Also to : Kali-carb. Ed.1 APOPLEXY.—See Chap. VI. ARSENIC (Effects from abuse of).—See Chap. XXVI. ARTHRITIS or GOUT.—The medicines which have been found most efficacious in arthritic affections, are gen- erally : Aeon. ant. ars. bell. bry. calc. caus. chin. cocc. coloc. fer. guaj. hep. iod. led. mang. n-vom. phos. phos-ac.puis. rhod. sabin. sass. sulph. and in some cases perhaps : Canth. chel. cic. colch. con. daph. dulc. men. mere, stann. tart, and thuy'. [Also : Am. cin. ran-b. ran-sc. staph. Ed.] For Acute arthritis, the principal medicines are : Aeon. ant. ars. bell. bry. chin. fer. hep. n-vom.puis. [Also: Berb. Ed.] For Chronic arthritis, besides the preceding : Calc. caus. coloc. guaj. iod. mang. phos-ac. rhod. sass. sulph. For arthritis Vaga, principally : Am. mang. n-mos. n-vom. puis, or else : Asa. daph. plum, and rhod. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 3 Arthritic Nodosities require especially : Agn. ant. bry. calc. carb-v. graph, led. n-vom. rhod. and staph., or perhaps Aur. dig. lye. phos. sabin. sep. sil. zinc. [Also : Carb-an. Ed.] Arthritic contractions are often relieved by: Bry. caus. guaj. sulph. ; and calc. coloc. rhus. sil. tliuy. may be also employed. Recourse may be had to the same medicines against arthritic Precursors and Metastases : but the Precursors will be often successfully combated by nux-vom. and recent Metastases by bellad.—See, also, Arthritic Cephalalgia, Ophthalmia, &c. In arthritic affections of persons addicted to Spirituous liquors : Aeon. calc. n-vom. sulph. may be preferred, or else : Ars. chin. hep. iod. lack. led. puis. For those who live on too Succulent food, principally : Ant. calc. iod. puis, and sulph. For persons who Work in the water, especially : Calc. puis. sass. and sulph., or also: Ant. ars. dulc. n-mos. and r-hus. 0^7= As to particular indications which may direct to the choice of any individual medicine, it is necessary, es- pecially in Chronic arthritis, to attend to the Totality of the constitutional symptoms, to the state of the stomach, intestines, lungs, brain, &c. For the different pains and other symptoms which accompany Acute arthritis, See and compare Rheumatism. ARTHROCACE.— Ulcer in the cavity of a joint-bone.—Co- loc. and phos-ac. have been principally recommended against that morbid state, which sometimes accompanies chronic inflammations of the joints. Perhaps : Calc. hep. sil. and sulph. may be also employed. ASPHYXIA or Apparent death.—Homoeopathic medi- cines may be administered in almost all cases, either by putting some globules on the tongue of the patient, or by dissolving them in water, and applying them in the form of a clyster. It is clearly understood that mechanical aid ought not to be neglected, but phlebotomy, which in the majority of cases only injures, ought to be avoided. [In those cases of Asphyxia (more properly defined a pulseless state) in which there is apoplexy of the lungs, accompanied by laborious breathing, venesection is not only admissible, but absolutely required by sound expe- rience and true medical philosophy. Vide my Examiner, vol. II., art. Bloodletting, by Dr. Gray. Ed.] If asphyxia be caused by afall, am. may be used, espe- cially if the patient has not been bled. In the contrary case, or if considerable loss of blood has been occasioned 4 CHAP. I. GENERALITIES. by the fall itself, it will be better to administer china first, and arnica afterwards. When asphyxia is the result of Suffocation, in conse- quence of Strangulation, opium should be employed : when it arises from Deleterious gases, opium, or perhaps also, aconit. or bellad. ,• and in case of Drowning, lachesis should be principally used. When asphyxia has been caused by Congelation, Ars. carb-v. or aeon, and bryon. may be opposed to the sufferings which succeed resuscitation. If asphyxia has been produced by Lightning, n-vom. should be administered in preference to any other medi- cine, and the patient should be placed, half-sitting, half- lying, in newly excavated earth, with which the whole body should be covered, except the face, which must be turned towards the sun,until the first signs of life exhibit themselves. When asphyxia occurs in new-born infants, tart, or opium, or chin, ought to be administered. ATROPHY—(Emaciation).—See Atrophy of children, Hectic fever, Tabes dorsalis, Marasmus senilis, Phthi- sis and Scrofula. ATROPHY OF CHILDREN.—The best medicines that can be opposed to atrophy of Scrophulous children, are: Sulph. followed by calc. and also: Ars. bar-c. bell. chin. cin. n-vom. phos. and rhus. or else : Am. cham. hep. iod. lack. magn. petr. phos. and puis. Amongst these medicines, the preference may be given to: Arsenicum, when the following symptoms are observed : Dryness of the skin, which resembles parchment; hollow eyes, surrounded by a livid circle ; anorexia or vomiting of food ; Desire to drink often, but little at a time ; excessive agitation and tossing, especially at night j short sleep, inter- rupted by starts and convulsive jerks ; ccdematous swelling of the face ; loose faeces of a greenish or brownish colour with evacuation of ingesta; fatigue, with desire to remain continually in a recumbent posture ; coldness of the hands and feet; palpitation of the heart; nocturnal perspiration. Baryta, when the symptoms are : Enlargement of the glands of the nape of the neck and of the neck ; great physical debility ; continual desire to sleep; bloatedness of the body and face, with distension of the abdomen ; great indolence and aversion to all sorts of corporeal and intellec- tual exertion, and also to amusement • mental absence in- attention and weakness of memory. Belladonna, when the symptoms are : Frequent colic with unnoticed evacuations j Capriciousness and obstinacy • SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 5 nocturnal cough with rattling of mucus ; enlargement of the glands of the neck ; unquiet sleep or sleeplessness ; aversion to movement and to the open air ; nervous exci- tability ; precocity of intellect; blue eyes and fair hair. Calcarea, when there are : Great emaciation with de- cided appetite ; hollow and wrinkled countenance ; dull eyes ; enlargement and induration of the mesenteric glands; exr cessive weakness, with general feeling of fatigue after the least exertion, and frequently with profuse perspiration ; frequent diarrhoea, or evacuations like clay; dry and flabby skin; dry and brittle hair; frequent palpitation of the heart ; shiverings; pain in the small of the back ; too great susceptibility of the nervous system ; dread of all movement. China; excessive emaciation, especially of the hands and feet; ccdematous swelling of the abdomen ; voracious- ness ; diarrhoea, especially at night, with evacuation of in- gesta, or frequent whitish evacuations of the consistence of pap; frequent perspirations, especially at night; indolence and apathy ; hollow, pale, or earthy countenance ; stupify- ing or unrefreshing sleep ; great weakness and falling away. Cina, when there are : Vej-miculous sufferings, pale face, wetting the bed, and great voracity. Nux-vomica, when there are : Yellowish, earthy com- plexion ; puffed face ; obstinate constipation, or constipa- tion, alternately with diarrhoea ; enlargement of the abdo- men, with borborygmus; decided hunger and appetite, with frequent vomiting of food ; constant occasion to lie down ; dread of the open air ; ill-humour, irascibility and passion; excitability of the nervous system. Phosphorus, principally in the case of young girls with light hair, blue eyes, delicate skin, tall stature, and espe- cially when there'is a cachectic cough, diarrhoea, and fre- quent and colliquative perspiration, great weakness, with agitation of blood, palpitation of the heart, or oppression at the chest, on the least movement. Rhus, when there is great weakness, with constant in- clination to lie down ; pale face, hard and distended ab- domen ; violent thirst; slimy or sanguineous diqrrhcea; decided appetite. Staphysagria, when the symptoms are : Enlargement and distension of the abdomen, voracious appetite ; retarded 'evacuations ; enlargement of the sub-maxillary glands and of those of the neck; frequent or continued coryza, with scabs in the nostrils ; skin easily ulcerated; fetid perspira- tion at night; frequent furunculi. 6 CHAP. I. GENERALITIES. Sulphur, in almost all cases, at the commencement of treatment, and especially when there are : Decided hunger, easy perspiration ; enlargement of the inguinal or axillary glands, or of those of the neck ; hard and distended abdo- men ; rattling of mucus in the respiratory organs,; fluent coryza ; frequent slimy diarrh&a, or obstinate constipation ; oppression at the chest; palpitation of the heart; pale complexion, wan countenance, sunken eyes ; stitches and shooting in the chest and sides, &c.

CHILL or COLD (Effects from a).—The principal med- icines are, in general: Aeon, coff cham. dulc. mere, n-vom. puis, and sulph. and also : Ars. bry. calc. carb-v. ipec. and sil. If the affections caused by a chill be Acute and Pain- ful, it will be necessary to employ especially : Aeon. ars. bell. cham. coff. n-vom. and puis. ; but when there is, on the contrary, little pain, dulc. and ipec. will be found suita- ble in the majority of cases. Obstinate or Chronic sufferings caused by a chill, most- ly require : Carb-veg. calc. silic. and sulph. The effects of a chill In the water, or of Cold, damp air, require principally : Calc. dulc. puis, and sulph., or else : Ars. carb-veg. nux-mos. rhus and sassap. ; and Antim. calc. carb-veg. and sulph. may be employed against sufferings brought on by bathing. Chills in the stomach, caused by partaking of ices, fruits, or acids, generally yield to puis, or ars. The effects of an Eruption suppressed by a chill de- mand in preference ipec. or bryon. ; those of a Suppressed rheume : Chin, or lach. or puis. ; and those of Checked per- spiration : Bell. bry. cham. chin. dulc. or silic. ; while in the case of persons who are apt to take cold in consequence of Perspiring freely : Carb-v. chin. hep. mere, phosph-ac. will frequently succeed. A Disposition to suffer too easily from a chill, will be SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 7 most effectually combated by carb-v. calc. and sil. adminis- tered at intervals of six, eight, or ten weeks, provided that the constitution and other affections of the patient do not exhibit a closer affinity to Bell. chin. coff. dulc. and n-vom. The medicines which merit a preference in the case of persons, who suffer from the slightest exposure to Cold air, are especially: Bryon. calc. carb-veg. mere, rhus-tox. and veratr. ; and also : nux-vom. or cham. when the least breath of cold air causes shiverings ; and arsen. if cold air generally produce pain. Great Sensitiveness to wind is overcome, especially by carb-veg. lach. or lycop. Sensibility to Currents of air is subdued by : Bell. calc. silic. and sulph., and that to the Cool evening air, by : Carb-veg. mere, and sulph. A remedy is generally found for chills caused by Bois- terous and Damp weather, in Calc. carb-veg. dulc. lach. rho- dod. rhus. or veratr. ; for those caused by Stormy weather, in : Bryon. rhod. silic. ; for those produced by a Change of weather, in : Calc. carb-veg. dulc. lach. mere. rhus. silic. sulph. and veratr. (When the weather changes From heat to cold, dulc. is often especially preferable : while a change From cold to heat is often more successfully encountered by carb-veg.) Chills in Spring often require: Carb-veg. rhus. and ve- ratr. ; those in Summer principally : Bell, bryon. carb-veg. and dulc. ; those in Autumn especially: Merc. rhus. and veratr. Chills felt in Winter require especially, when it is a Dry cold: Aeon. bell, bryon. or cham. ipec. nux-vom. and sulph. ; when it is a Damp cold : Dulc. and veratr. will be often found suitable. With respect to particular affections caused by a chill, a preference should be given to : Acomtum, when there are: Odontalgia, prosopalgia, or other neuralgia?, with head-ache, congestion of blood in the head, humming in the ears, pain in the limbs, as if beaten, violent feverish heat, discouragement, with agita- tion and tossing, &c.

CONSTITUTION AND TEMPERAMENT.—We have given, under the heads of the several medicines, some gen- eral ideas of the different constitutions and temperaments, to which they are respectively suitable. When bringing them in this repertory, under a single view (See Sect. 3, Characters), we have still further increased them ; but we 10 CHAP. I.

DEBILITY (Weakness).—In many cases, debility is, it is true, only a symptom of another disease, with the cure of which strength returns. But debility is often also the fundamental source of several sufferings, and especially when it is occasioned by loss of humours, excessive coition, violent acute diseases, and other debilitating causes ; and in such cases it must be combated by means suited to the general state. The most efficacious remedy for debility, arising from Loss of humours, is china, but recourse may be often had to; Calc. carb-v. cin. laches, n-vom. phosph-ae. sulph. and veratr. [Also to : Mitr-ac. sulph-ac. Ed.] One of the first remedies for debility, caused by Exces- sive coition, is also found in china ; but if the malady is chronic, and the cause has exercised its influence on the patient for a long time ; it will be necessary to have re- course to other medicines, such as: Calc. n-vom. phos-ac. sil. staph, and sulph., or else again to : Am. anac. carb-v. con. mere, natr-m. phos. apd sep. Calc. is especially indi- cated, if coition is invariably followed by great lassitude trembling of the legs, fatigue and pain in the head. Staphys. if the patient is much distressed on account of his or her culpable excess, with asthmatic sufferings after coition and hypochondriacal humour. In the majority of cases, the consequences of Mastur- bation require : M-vom. followed by sulph. and calc., if chin. phos-ac. or staph, prove insufficient, Carb-v. con. cocc. natr-m. n-mosch. and phos. will also be often found useful. The best medicines, to remedy an inclination for this vice, are : Sulph. and calc, and also: chin. cocc. mere, and phos. or perhaps also : Ant. carb-v. plat. puis. The most efficacious medicines for debility, when it is the result of violent Acute diseases, are : Chin. hep. sil. and veratr. or else, calc. kal. natr-m. phos-ac. and sulph.—Chin. is especially benejicial in the first instance, when the pa- tient has been copiously bled.

OCT See, for the remaining medicines, Sect. 2, Hemor- rhage, and compare haemorrhage of particular organs. HEAT (Fatigue from).—The best medicines against the effects of being over-heated, or against the influence of heat are, in general: Aeon. ant. bell. bry. camph. carb-v. and silic. ; or else also : Op. thuy. and zinc. Among these medicines, a preference may be given to: Aconitum, against sufferings excited by*a sun-stroke, or by the heat of the fire, and especially when the patient has slept in the sun, or near a warm fire. Antimonium, if the heat of summer can in no way be endured, or at least if the slightest exertion in that heat speed- ily fatigue, with nocturnal perspiration, constant inclination to sleep, gastric sufferings, &c, and especially if bryon. be insufficient against that state. Belladonna, if aconitum be insufficient against the ef- fects of a sun-stroke, or of the heat of the fire, or if there be : Head-ache with fulness andexpansive pressure, especially in the forehead, as if every thing were about to protrude through it, with aggravation when stooping, on the least movement, and at every moral emotion ; or great anguish and inquiet- ude, fury, or at least, great agitation, or great'timidity, ter- ror, and fear for present objects ; tearful disposition and cries. Bryonia, when from labouring, or from any exertion whatever in the heat, there are : Painful fulness in the head ; anorexia, or nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; in- ability to digest milk; agitation with trembling; tightness of the clothes over the hypochondria: irascible and pas- sionate humour ; fear respecting the future.

Silicea, when heat causes nausea, or other gastric suf- ferings, and when neither antim. nor bryon. is sufficient against that state. 00= Dejection, caused by the air being charged with elec- tricity, heavy and hot weather, yields, according to the cir- cumstances, most frequently to bry. carb-v. n-vom. or silic.

II, Carcinoma. INFLAMMATIONS.—The best antiphlogistic that Ho- moeopathia possesses, is "ndoubtedly aconit., and in many cases of acute inflammation, this medicine will subdue the disease ; hut it must not be supposed that it can be admin- istered in all cases as an infallible specific ; on the contra- ry, if aconitum be serviceable, it must be indicated by the totality of symptoms, as well as every other medicine- There are, in fact, many inflammatory diseases (and princi- pally those in which the old school also, forbids phleboto- my) in which the use of aconit. would only ^e a loss of time. But, on the other hand, the cases in which this me- dicine is almost indispensable, are inflammation of the se- rous membranes, with violent febrile heat, hard -and quick pulse, &c. Sulph. is to Chronic, what aconit. is to Acute inflamma- tions, so that those who see hidden inflammation of some organ at the bottom of every chronic disease, will find as much reason for reckoning on the extensive efficacy of sul- phur, as those who see in it only psoric corruption. But in the same way as aconit. is not suitable in all cases of acute inflammation, sulphur is not adapted to all cases of SECT. I. CLINICAL , REMARKS. 25 chronic inflammation, and must only be administered when it is evidently indicated by the existing symptoms* See also the particular local inflammations, in their res- pective organs, and compare Fevers (inflammatory), Chap.

CARBUNCLE.—The most efficacious medicine against Contagious carbuncle or Anthrax, proceeding from the carbuncle of horned cattle, is arsen. provided, however, that the symptoms in any particular case do not require in pre- ference other remedies, such as : Chin. sil. and rhus. or also puis. The Malignant pustule commonly yields to : Ars. bell. rhus. silic. and perhaps: chin. hyos. mur-ac. sec. sep. may be also used. The Non-contagious carbuncle or Malignant furuncu- lus, which usually appears between the shoulders, requires in the majority of cases silic. or else : Hyos. lye or nitr-ac. Another kind of Carbuncle, which, instead of pus, con- tains a kind of Pediculi, requires especially: Arsen. and chin. [Besides may be used : Arnica, in the commencing stage of carbuncles, exter- nally and internally. Nux vomica, also, after a prior administration of Ar- nica. Ed.] CARCINOMA and SCIRRHUS.—Cancer. The medi- cines which have been hitherto found most efficacious against these affections, are in general: Ars. bell. con. n- vom. sep. silic. and sulph.

ECCHYMOSIS.—Ecchymosis caused by mechanical in- jury, commonly yields to : Arn. rhus. sulph. sulph-ac. ac- cording to the circumstances. ECCHYMOSIS SENILIS requires in preference : Con. or arsen. or perhaps also : Sulph. or sulph-ac. The Ecchymosis known by the name of Purpura hemorr- hagica, maladie tachettee of Werholf, requires in preference : Rhus, or bryon. or else : Led. and sec [Also Coceion. and iod. Ed.] The principal medicines for Petechia are : Bryon. or rhus. or else also : Ars. or lach. ECTHYMA.—The medicines which appear most suita- ble to this kind of pustular eruption, are : Ars. mere, and rhus. ECZEMA.—Humid tetter or running scall. Febrile ec- zema often yields to petrol, or else also to dulc. or phos. es- pecially if it has appeared in consequence of a chill. For chronic Eczema, the most eligible medicines are : Clem. dulc. mere and phos. Eczema produced by the abuse of mercury, requires in preference sulph. or else also : Aeon. bell, or dig. as inter- mediate medicines against excessive excitement. [The preferable divisions are : 1. Eczema solare, caused by sun or fire. The pains are violent with burning, especially at night. Remedies : Ar- nica, arsenicum, belladonna and rhus. 2. Eczema simplex. This form occurs in large masses of transparent, shining, closely-crowded vesicles, which are evolved from an uninflamed surface with itching ; the vesicles become turbid, break and create yellow incrusta- tions which soon fall off. The disease is often mistaken for itch. Remedies : Arsenic dulc. mere petrol, phosph. and sulphur. 3. Eczebia rubrum. This form, at times quite severe, consists of vesicles with inflamed halos which arise on a swollen, hot, tense, shining and red surface. The vesicles extend over large surfaces, become confluent, discharge an acrid opaque matter which forms yellow and moist crusts, extremely irritating. There is fever with quick pulse and coated tongue. If it be limited to portions of the skin it runs its course in 14 days ; if it extend over the whole surface, from 6 to 8 weeks. Desquamation oc- curring frequently, finally terminates in bran-like scales, even with the loss of hair and nails. Remedies same as for E. simplex. * SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 81 4. Eczema impetiginoides, a combination of eczema and impetigo. Eczema-vesicles and Impetigo-pustules, are de- veloped at the same time with pain, heat and violent itch- ing. The purulent vesicles break and discharge a corro- sive matter, by which the cuticle is raised in large, moist pieces, which change into green crusts that fall off leaving a surface as red as carmine. If violent, the discharge is offensive. Around this eruption there rises a red, swollen circle dotted with small transparent or milky or dry vesi- cles. Besides the remedies above advised may be select- ed : Carb-veg. conium. rhus. and zinc. Ed.] EPHELIS.^See Spots. ERYSIPELAS.—The best medicines against the differ- ent kinds of erysipelas are, in general: Aeon. bell. clem. graph, lach. mere puis. rhus. sil. and sulph.

Erysipelas Erraticum, requires in preference : Bell, or rhus. or also graph. For Vesicular erysipelas, they are especially : Graph. and rhus. or bell. hep. and lach. For Phlegmonous erysipelas, they are : Bell, graph, hep. lach. puis, and rhus. Secondary erysipelas, accompanied by oedema, often yields to rhus ; that which arises from Ulcerated sur- faces requires in preference : Clem, or rhus.; and that which changes to Gangrene requires : Ars. or carb-veg. Against Zona : Ars. graph, mere puis, and rhus. have been employed with the greatest success. fry For other medicines, which may be also used : See Sect. 2, Erysipelas. ERYTHEMA.—See Intertrigo.

The principal medicine is arn. employed internally and externally, or else bell, or mere, administered only internally. * 82 CHAP. II. SKIN. The Large furunculi (a kind of carbuncle), which ap- pear on the back, require in preference silic. or else also : Hyos. lye nitr-ac. The principal medicines for eradicating a Disposition to furunculi, are : Lycop. n-vom. phos. and sulph. G^T See also Furunculi, Sect. 2. GANGRENE.—The best medicines are : Ars. chin. lach. and sil. and perhaps : Bell. evph. plumb, sec. and squill, may be also used. For Gangrsena Senilis, see and perhaps also con. claim the preference. HERPES CIRCINATUS, or Ringworm.—Sep. is almost a specific against this sort of tetter ; but Schroen recom- mends also : Calc. caust. and sulph. HERPES FURFURACEA.—Scurfy, branny tetter. The medicines which seem most suitable to this kind of tetter, are : Cic. and sulph. and also : Anac. graph, lach. mere and thuy. or else again : Ars. calc. kreos. led. lye natr-m. [Also : Dulc. graph. Ed.] HERPES PHLYCTCENOIDES.—The medicines which are principally recommended against this disease, are : Aeon. bell. rhus. silic. and sulph. Besides these, recourse may be also had to : Ars. bov. calc. lye mere and sep. HERPES ZOSTER.—See Zona. ICTERUS.—Jaundice. See Chap. XVI. ICTHYOSIS.—The medicines that have been princi- pally recommended against this malady, are : Coloc. hep. and plumb. IMPETIGO.—The medicines, which have been hither- to found most efficacious against the different impetige- nous eruptions, are principally : Lycop. and sulph. or else also: Calc. cic. dulc. graph, lach. mere rhus. For Impetigo Scabida, they are especially: Lye and sulph. For Impetigo Sparsa, they are principally : Cic lach. and sulph. For Impetigo Rodens, they are : Ars. calc. cic. rhus. sep. and sulph. INJURIES (MECHANICAL).—The best medicines are in general: Arn. and rhus. and also : Ang. con. euphr. hep. puis. ruta. sulph. sulph-ac. &c. {Iod. Ed.] For consequences resulting from a violent Shock caused by a fall, a blow, &c, the principal medicine is arn. ; but if it has been accompanied by excessive Fright, it will be well to administer previously a dose of opium ; or if there be syncope, a dose of aeon. The head-ache which may remain after the use of arsenic, often yields to : Bell, phos-ac. ox cicut. SEC . I. clinical remarks. 83 The effects of a Strain in the loins, from having lifted too heavy a weight, &c, require rather : Rhus, or else : Bry. calc. carb-veg. and sulph. if rhus. be insufficient. The effecfs of a shock, from making a False step, re- quire principally bryon. or pulsat. and rhus. will be but sel- dom suitable. Contusions require principally : Am. ox puis, especially if the muscles be chiefly affected. If the Glands be injured, the medicines are especially : Con. and phos. or else also : Iod. and kal. If the Joints, Synovial membranes, or Ten- dons have suffered from a contusion, rhus. is preferable ; and if the Periosteum be injured, the principal medicine is ruta. For a Bruise, when it is the result of contusion: Arn. and rhus. are equally efficacious ; and if these two medi- cines be insufficient, recourse may be had to: Con. sulph. and sulph-ac ox else again to : Con. sulph. and sulph- ac ox else again to : Dulc. lach. and n-vom. For Dislocation and Sprains, the principal medicine is arn. or rhus. But if, after administering these two medi- cines, there remain any pain: Am-c. and ruta. or else : Agn. bell. bry. puis, n-vom. may be employed. Fractures also require arn. to facilitate the union of the bones ; if ruta. or symphitum officinale be not equally eligible. Burns yield most frequently, where arnica fails, to an application of common soap, or to a dose of sapo taken in- ternally, or else to a dose of aeon. For Wounds the principal medicines are, according to the circumstances: Ai-n.cic staph, andsulpk-ac ox also gran.l Contused wounds inflicted by blunt or bruising instru- ments, such as blows from a hatchet, sabre, sword, &c. require in preference am. Wounds from a Bite are cured most easily by sulph-ac. if arnie be insufficient. Incised wounds inflicted by instruments, such as razors, bistouries, &c. require staph, in preference. The principal medicines for wounds caused by Splint- ers, are : Aeon. cic. or else : Mitr-ac^ silic or hep. In all cases of wounds with excessive hemorrhage, when arn. is not sufficient to stanch them, diad. or phos. may be administered, or else also chin, if the patient be very weak. „ For wounds, which inflame and suppurate, the principal medicines indicated are : Cham. hep. or silic. or else: mere puis, and sulph. 84 chap. ii. skin. In case of Gangrene in the wounded part, chin, princi- pally merits a preference, especially at the commencement; but if the skin has already begun to turn black, recourse must be had to lach. or arsen. provided sil. is not equally indicated. The Convulsions, which sometimes follow severe me- chanical injuries, such as Traumatic tetanus, &c., require ang. or coccul. if arnie be insufficient. Traumatic fever commonly yields to arn. or aeon, and it will be seldom necessary to have recourse to rhus. or bryon. Cerebral affections, in consequence of a wound, with Concussion of the brain or of the Spinal marrow, require bell. cic. cin. or else calc or hep. if arnie prove insufficient. INTERTRIGO.—The best medicines are, in general: Ars. cham. graph, ign. lye puis. sep. and sulph. Excoriations in Adults, during summer, often yield to : Arn. n-vom. lye and sulph. The chafing of Bed-rid patients, requires in preference: Am. (ox plumb. ?) Erosion in the nipples requires especially: Am. and sulph. or else also : Calc. caus. cham. graph, lye n-vom. and sep. The excoriations of Children require principally : ' Cham, lycop. and sulph. or else again : Graph, or sep. In cases arising from the abuse of chamomile, ign. and puis. should be preferred. JAUNDICE.—See Chap. XVI, Icterus. LEPROSY.—The medicines which Hering recommends as most efficacious against the various forms and degrees of leprosy, are principally : Alum. ars. carb-a. carb-v. caus. graph, natr. petr. phos. sep. sil. and sulph. LICHEN.—In Lichen Simplex, the medicines which appear most suitable to the concomitant gastric symptoms are, according to Schroen : Aeon, bryon. or puis. ; while cocc. and dulc. seem to correspond better with the entire disease. The medicines which appear preferable for LichExN ag- rius, are: Cic. lye mur-ac or sulph. LUPUS, or Noli me tangere.—The medicines which seem most suitable to tubercles of this kind, are : Alum. ars. calc. cic. rhus. sep. and sulph,. MACULAE—See Spots. MAGGOT-PIMPLES.—(Grubs.) (Tannes.)

MILIARIA.—The principal medicines are: Aeon. ars. bell. bry. cham. ipec puis, and sulph. If the eruption be accompanied by great Anguish, ars. is especially eligible. In Lying-in women, the principal medicine is : Bryon. or ipec. and in children : Aeon. bell. bry. cham. ox ipec. are pre- ferable. * MILIARIA PURPUREA. (Miliaria rubra.)—The prin- pal medicines are : Aeon, and coff. ox else sulph. ox bell, if neither aeon, nor coff. be sufficient. In cases in which this disease is complicated with scarlatina, dulc deserves a pre- ference. (Compare Scarlatina.) MORBILLI.—By the the term Morbilli, which is derived from the Latin word Morbilli, we designate the disease commonly called Measles. The principal medicines are : Aeon, and puis, or else: Bell. bry. chin. phos. and sulph. ^ [A designation of the varieties of this disease with their indicated remedies will facilitate the treatment. These varieties are : 1. Inflammatory, for which may be selected, Aconite, belladonna, bryonia, chamomilla, dulcamara, ipecac, and Pul- satilla. 2. Gastric, which indicates Chamomillaf ipecac, Pulsa- tilla and veratrum. ' 3. Typhols or irregular, requiring Belladonna, china, nux-vomica, phosphorus, pulsatilla andrhus. 4. Septic or malignant, for which may be administered, Arsenicum, carbo-veg. hyoscyamus, magnesice-carb. muriatis- acidum, opium, phosphorus, phosph-acid. sulphuric-ac and sulphur. Ed.] Aeon, or puis, may be successfully employed to facili- tate the eruption, and to shorten the period of the precur- sors, and also coff if the patient be much agitated, or sleep- less and irritable. The /Photophobia, which sometimes succeeds, often gives way to bell, if aeon, or puis, be insufficient. [Also: phos. sulph. Ed.] The Cough sometimes requires also a dose of coff. or of hep. after administering aeon., but if there be bronchitis or pneumonia, it will be necessary occasionally to have re- course to bryon. . In case of Repercussion of the eruption, the medicines to be employed are principally : Bry. puis, and phos. or else again : Ars. bell. caus. and sulph.

Otitis and Otorrhcea should be treated by : Puis, or carb-v , or else again : Colch. lye. men. mere nitr-ac. and sulph. Parotitis cbmmonly yields to am. or rhus., and Milia- ria alba sometimes requires nux-vom. In all cases a preference may be given to : Aconitum, when, there are : Vertigo, red and painful eyes, with photophobia ; coryza ; sore-throat with hoarse- ness ; short, dry, and hollow cough ; shootings in the side and chest; sleeplessness, or little sleep, with vivid dreams and frequent waking with a start; universal dry heat, with red and hot, or puffed face ; bleeding at the nose ; frequent desire to urinate; vomiting or colic, also with diarrhoea. [Arsenicum, especially, if there occur : Suppression of the eruption ; earth-coloured paleness of the face, mottled with greenish blue and brown streaks, and scurfiness about the mouth; puffed face, pale, then alternating with flushes of red ; burning, shooting pains in the eyes and dread of light; typhoid symptoms; brown or black, dry and cracked tongue, sometimes with a bright red border ; black lips • vomiting ; diarrhaa.

[Also, Ol-jee Ed.] For the Dry or Miliary itch, the treatment may com- mence by administering mere and sulph. alternately, giv- ing every 4, 6, or 8 days, a dose-of one or other of these medicines, until an amelioration or change in the symptoms takes place.—In case of amelioration, it is advisable to wait, without doing any thing further, as long as it contin- ues ; but if it cease, or if a change occur in the nature of the symptoms, another medicine must be substituted ; and carb-veg. ox hep. will be generally found most suitable, if the disease has retained the miliary form ; or caustic, if pustules have made their appearance. And the remaining symptoms which continue after carb-veg. or hep. often yield to sep. or verat. For Humid or Pustular scabies, sulph. and lye may be given alternately in the first instance, and in the manner recommended above. In the event of subsequent amelio- ration, especially when the scabies assumes a drier charac- ter, carb-veg. or mere will be found most frequently indi- cated. But if neither sulph. or lye. produce any change in the space of 15 or 20 days, or if the pustules become very large, it will be proper to have recourse to caust. of which 2, 3, or 4 doses may be given according to the circum- 8* 90 CHAP.

If, at the end of three days after the fourth dose, no change appear, some doses of mere, maybe then administered, at intervals of 48 hours. If, in this kind of Scabies, there be small ulcers, clem. and rhus. will claim a preference ; and if the pustules de- generate into large vesicles, of a yellowish or bluish colour, recourse must be had to lach. Scabies, the nature of which has been altered by abuse of sulphur, mostly requires : Mere or caust. or else also : Calc. dulc. nitr-ac. ox puis. (See also, Eruptions, Scabious, Sect. 2.)

Against Angina gangrenosa the principal medicines are : Am-e ars. and carb-veg. or perhaps also lach. or sulph. Vomitings often require aeon, or ars. if they will not yield to bell.; for Tenesmus and Strangury, con. merits a preference, and for Pulmonary spasms, ipec. after bell. Sleeplessness often requires aeon, or coff. In case of Repercussion of the eruption, the medicines which are usually most apt to reproduce it, are : Bry.phos. phos-ac. and sulph.

In case of complication of the miliaria purpurea with scarlatina, dulc is often found very efficacious. In all cases, the preference may be given to : Aconitum, if there be : Frequent colic, with bilious vom- iting; violent fever, with dry heat, frequent, full and weak pulse ; congestion of the head, with puffed face, vertigo, and dizziness ; or delirium ; or lethargy, or waking with a start; dry, short, painful cough ; bleeding at the nose, or also blood-spitting ; inflammation of the throat.

STINGS OF INSECTS.—The medicines, which, ac- cording to circumstances, commonly afford the most speedy relief, are : Aeon. am. bell, or mere In case of being stung in very tender parts, and when inflammation with fever follows, camph. may be imme- diately administered by smelling, and aeon, if camphor be insufficient. In case of being stung by bees on the Tongue, aeon. should be first administered, and, if necessary, am. half an hour afterwards. If arn. do not relieve, bell, should be ad- ministered at the end of 2 or 3 hours, a small spoonful every half-hour (2 or 3 globules in solution). If bell, prove insufficient, mere may be administered every 2 or 3 hours. In case of being stung on the Eye, aeon, and arn. should be administered alternately, allowing each dose of aeon, to act for one hour, each dose of am. for 3 or 4 hours. STROPHULUS.—The medicines principally recom- mended against this kind of Lichen, are: Cic. cham. and caust. SUPPURATIONS.—The medicines which merit a pre- ference, in cases of chronic suppuration, are commonly : Hep. lach. mere, silic. or sulph. Suppurations of a bad kind require especially : Asa. mere and silic. SYCOSIS.—The medicines which have been hitherto found most efficacious against condylomata or other syco- tic excrescences, are : Thuy. and nitr-ac or else, cinnab. euphr. lycop. phos-ac. sabin. and staph. A very speedy cure is also often accomplished by administering mere (3d) and sulph. (3d) alternately. SYPHILIS.—The principal medicine is mere (viv. or solub.) But in the cas"e of Primary chancres, a cure is seldom accomplished by the last dilutions, which often only aggravate the sufferings by irritating the nervous sys- tem of the patient. The most certain method of curing recent Chancre, in the acute state, is to administer every day, or, at least, every second day, a dose of 1 of a grain of the 3d tritura- tion of mercury, until a perceptible amelioration takes p ace, without being influenced by the appearance of the ulcers during the first days. No recent chancre is healed without being previously aggravated. But by continuing 94 CHAP. II- SKIN. the use of mercury, it will be seen at the end of 8 or 10 days (an experienced eye will often detect it as early as the fourth or sixth day), that there will appear, on the bot- tom of the ulcers, healthy granulations, which will increase daily, while at the same time, the ulcers will occasionally bleed and the margins begin to be depressed. When, under the administration of mercury, the chan- cre is slow in cicatrizing, or when the ulcer exhibits a strong tendency to produce vegetations, nitr-ac may be ad- ministered with success, in a dose of one drop (3d), morn- ing and evening, or else in a dose of 3 or 6 globules dis- solved in water, one spoonful morning and evening. But care must be taken to administer it before the loss of sub- stance has been repaired by mercury. - Mitr-ac is also to be selected in preference, against syphilitic ulcers which have been for along time fruitlessly treated, by administering the large doses of mercury, usual in the old school of medicine. If the chancre has passed from the acute to the Chronic state, though it is still primary, it will be sufficient in the majority of cases, to administer 3 doses of the 3d tritura- tion of mere one dose every 48 hours, allowing the medi- cine to act after the third dose without doing anything fur- ther. It will be rarely necessary to repeat mere at the end of 3 or 4 weeks. It commonly happens in cases, in which the primary ..chancre has passed into the chronic state, that, while the ulcer loses its syphilitic character, macula venera, or vene- real spots, make their appearance, with pimples on the fore- head and chin, and round the mouth. These secondary symptoms are generally removed by mercury, with the re- mains of the primary ulcer ; and if, after this has been heal- ed, some traces still continue, which will not yield to this medicine, (2 or 3 doses of) lach. will often complete a cure. Secondary chancres in the throat, which seldom ap- pear, except in consequence of mercurial applications to the primary ehancre, require the same treatment as the Chronic chancre (2 or 3 doses of mere of the 3d trit.), or else some doses of thuy. if the patient suffer from an abuse . of mercury. Buboes, which generally result from cauterization of the primary chancre, and which in many cases appear pre- viously to its being cicatrized, require no particular treat- ment, and mostly disappear with the primary ulcer, under the influence of mere But if they have protruded afer the cicatrization of the chancre, and especially if the patient SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS, 95 has been subjected to an abuse of mercury, nitr-ac. is then the principal medicine ; though aur. or carb-v. will be found exceedingly useful.

TUMOURS.—For Inflammatory tumours, or Phleg- mon, the principal medicines are : Ars. bell. bry. cham. hep. puis, and sulph., which are sometimes sufficient to prevent suppuration and to produce the dissolution of the tumours. —Arsen. is especially suitable if there be : Burning pains in the tumour ; Bryon. if the tumour be hot and ti^ht, pale or red ; Bell, if the redness of the tumour extender over the surrounding parts ; Hep. or rhus. if the tumour be pain- ful to the touch ; Puis, if it have a red areola, &Cj.

For Open abscess, when the suppuration has gone on for a long time, the medicines, which will, in the majority of cases, effect the most rapid cure, are : Calc. kep. mere. phos. and sil.—Phos. and sil. are most suitable, when a consumptive state succeeds, in consequence of chronic suppuration. (See also Suppuration and Ulcers.) Abscess, arisino- From congestion, requires commonly only the same medicines employed against Suppuration and Abscess in general; but in particular cases, attention must be paid to the real seat of the disease, and a medicine selected according to the position of the injury. For Lymphatic tumour and abscess, the principal medi- cines are : Asa. bell. calc. carb-veg. cocc. dulc kep. lack. mere phos. sep. sil. and phos.—If the tumours be Inflamma- tory, they are : Bell, carb-veg. hep. lach. sep. sil. and phos. —For Indolent tumours, they are : Asa. calc. bell. cocc. dulc. mere, and sulph.

After the eruption has appeared, the most suitable me- dicines, in the majority of cases, for promoting a rapid desiccation, are : Sulph. or mere ; but if the eruption be too great, a dose of bell, will sometimes be advisable ; and if the Fever, during the suppuration, be too violent, aeon. or bell, will be necessary ; or else cham. if there be a cough during this period. If the pus become Sanious (bloody), and if Sphacelus be apprehended: Ars. and carb-v. ought to be employed in preference. The best medicine against the Salivation, which some- times succeeds, is mere. ; against the Catarrh, with cough and hoarseness, the principal medicines are : Ars. or mere and against the diarrhoea, chin, is most eligible.

Febrile stage, in which appear the first signs ol tne eruption accompanied by active fever, headache, depression of spirits, ill-humour, weariness, disposition to sleep, con- gestion of the head, nose-bleed, stupefaction, vomiting, &c. When this state is especially attended by aching in the limbs, congestion of the head and nose-bleed, aconitum is the appropriate drug ; but if there he in addition, irritation of the eyes, aversion to light, increased congestion of the head and headache, manifestations of delirium, and an in- creased sensibility of the whole nervous system, belladon- na should follow or alternate with the aconite. If there follow a lethargic condition, stertorous respiration and profound stupor, opium is to be preferred. Arsenic may be also subsequently required. 2. Eruptive stage. This occupies three days, in which a gradual progress is made to the point of maturation, the developing eruption appearing the first day on the face, the second on the arms and body, and the third on the feet. Stramonium is essential to the healthful fulfilment of this process. If there be a complication of gastric difficulties, antimonium-crud. bryonia, chamomilla, n-vom. and tart- emet. may be selected according to their indications. If there arise violent arterial action with an excess of the eruption, aconite will be needed. If the eruption occur at the teething period, with the ordinary phenomena of in- creased fever, and congestions of the head and lungs, aco- nite and belladonna will be most appropriate. If a catarrhal condition be present, with accumulations of slime in the chest, cough, running at the nose and hoarseness, tart-ant. and ipecac, are to be preferred. 3. Stage of maturation, which succeeds the eruptive stage, may exrst from the seventh to the ninth day, and consists in a perfect development or fulness of the small- pox pustule. If this stage be attended with little or no fever, a simple and strict regimen alone will be required ; but if there set in an ulcerative fever, urgent diseases of the eyes, nose and throat, and abundant salivation, mercurius becomes the specific. 4. Stage of desiccation. Most generally no remedies are required, ablution of tepid water affording ample relief. If incidental symptoms arise, the indication must be met by a study of the symptoms, which if febrile, demand aconite, belladonna, chamomilla and pulsatilla. If there be consti- pation, bryonia and nux. SECT. I.

Belladonna if, after the use of aconite, there appear : increased fever, congestion of the head, wild phantasies, inflammation of the eyes, dread of light, &c. A case of measles connected with inflammation of the pia mater, the inner membrane of the brain, was cured by the belladonna.

The most efficacious medicines against both species of fever are in general:' Aeon. ars. bell. bry. caus. cham. chin. dulc mere, n-vom. puis. rhus. and sulph. ; and also : Arn. camph. coff. ign. ipec. phos. sabad. sang. sil. spig. squill, stann. and verat. If the fever be intense, partaking of the Inflammatory character, the medicines which ought to be employed in preference are : Aeon. bell. bry. cham., or else again: Ars. coff. ign. mere puis. rhus. squill. But if the fever be only Slight, or if it abate under the influence of the preceding medicines, those which will be found to be most frequently indicated are, according to the 128 CHAP. IV. FEVERS. circumstances : Chin. dulc. n-vom. puis, rhus., or else also : Arn. ipec. phos. seneg. and verat. In cases of Profuse perspiration, which however af- fords no relief, the most eligible are : Bry. chin, mere and sulph. If Violent pain predominate, a remedy will be most frequently found among : Aeon. ars. cham. coff. ign. or else again among : Merc. puis, and sulph. If, after the fever has ceased, certain symptoms still remain, it will be proper, in case of Catarrhal affections, to select in preference : Sulph. or phos. seneg. and stann. or else again : Ars. bry. dulc. mere puis. sil. and squill. When the Rheumatic affections continue, they require especially : Caust. chin. phos. sil. and sulph. or else hep. and lach. Syy See also : Chronic catarrh and Rheumatism. For the details relative to the choice of the medicines cited, See the articles : Catarrh and Rheumatism, and com- pare in their respective chapters : Angina, Cephalalgia, Ophthalmia, Cough, Odontalgia, &c. (Catarrhal and Rheu- matic) For the various complications that these fevers may un- dergo, See also: Infammatory, Gastric, Cerebral fevers, &c, and also: Pleurisy, Gripe, Pneumonia, &c. CEREBRAL (Fevers).—See Typhoid fevers. COMATOSE (Fevers).—See Lethargic fevers. DENTITION (Fever during).—See Chap. XX. GASTRIC and BILIOUS (Fevers).—The best medi- cines are in general: Aeon. bell. bry. cham. cocc. ipec. mere n-vom. puis, and also : Ant. coloc. dig. rhus. squill, tart, and verat. or else again : Daph. gran. (1) and sulph. As to the different Shades of these fevers, if the Simple gastric (Febris sabularis) predominate, the medicines which principally deserve a preference are : Ipec. n-vom. puis, or else again : Ant. bry. cham. cocc. digit, rhus. sulph. tart, and verat. or else : Bell. daph. and squill. If Bilious symptoms (Bilious fever) predominate, the principal medicines are : Aeon. bry. cham. chin. cocc. nvom. puis, ox else again : Ars. coloc. daph. dig. gran. (1) ipec. and sulph. Gastric fevers, with a predominance of Mucous secre- tions and excretions (Mucous fever) require rather : Bell. chin. dig. mere. puis, and rhus. or else again : Ars. cham. cin. dulc ipec. n-vom. rheum, spig. and sulph. If gastric fever be Characterized by Vermiculous (worm) affections (Vermiculous fever), they are principally : Cic. sect. i. clinical remarks. 129 cin. mere sil. spig. and sulph. or else again : Aeon. dig. hyos. n-vom. sabad. stann. stram. teuc. and valer. As to the character which these fevers may assume, if there be very decided Inflammatory symptoms (Inflamma- tory gastric fever), the principal medicines are : Bell. bry. cham. mere puis, or tart.—Aeon, is indicated only in ca'ses in which there are bilious symptoms, but never against a purely gastric state, however decided the inflammatory character may be. If the fever exhibit a Nervous character (Nervous gas- tric, or ataxic fever), the medicines are especially : Bell. bry. cocc. rhus. and verat. or else again : Ars. carb-veg. chin. hyos, , same arti- cle.)

ALIENATION (Mental), Mania, &c—The medicines, which have been hitherto employed with most success, are, in general: Aeon. bell. calc. hyos. lach. lye. n-vom. op. plat. puis. sil. stram. sulph. verat. If the alienation be caused by depressing emotions, such as: Vexation, mortification, anger, &c, the medicines which principally merit attention are : Bell. hyos. n-vom. and plat, ox else again : Ign. phos-ac. staph. &c. (Compare Chap. I. Moral emotions.) If it be the result of excessive study, the medicines are especially : Lach. plat, stram. and perhaps again : Mux- vom. op. and sulph. or also : Bell. hyos. and verat. (Com- pare Chap. I. Fatigue from intellectual exertion.) That depression, which arises from religious notions, requires principally : Lach. sulph. verat. or else again: Ars. aur. bell, lye puis, and stram. For the mental alienation of Drunkards (Delirium tre- mens), nux-vom. or op. will be found suitable, or else : Bell. calc hyos. lach. and stram. provided the state of the patient be not such as rather indicates : mere puis, or sulph. [Also : Dig. Ed.] (Compare Chap. I. Drunkenness.) For mental alienation in females, and especially for that which depends on derangement of the sexual func- tions, the principal medicines are : Aeon. bell. plat, stram. and verat. or else again: Cupr. lach. mere and sulph. [Also : Hyos. Ed.] (Compare Chap. XX. Diseases of fe- males.) As to the Symptoms, which should determine the choice, in particular cases, a preference may be given to : Aconitum, if there be: Fear and presentiment of ap- proaching death ; desire to run away from the house or from the bed ; gloominess, taciturnity, and laconic style of speaking ; paroxysms of anguish, convulsions ; cold per- spiration ; congestion of blood to the chest or head ; palpita- tion of the heart and pracordial anxiety ; delirium, with laughter and tears alternately, &c.

FRIGHT (Effects of).—See Chap. I. Consequences of Moral emotions. HYDROPHOBIA.—According to the opinion of Doctor Hering, it is advisable to apply distant heat to the recent wound, (See Chap. XXVI. Envenobied wounds), until the febrile shudderings appear ; and to continue this practice, three or four times a-day, until the wound is healed, with- out leaving a coloured cicatrice. At the same time the patient should take, every five or seven days, or as often as the aggravation of the wound re- quires it, one dose of bell, or lach. or also of hydrophobine, till the cure is completed. If, at the end of seven or eight days, a small vesicle show itself under the tongue, with feverish movements, it will be necessary to open it with a lancet or sharp-pointed scissors, and to rince the mouth with salt and water. If the raging state has commenced, before assistance can be procured for the patient, the medicines that ought to be administered, will be, according to the circumstances, especially: Bell, or lach. or else again : Canth. hyos. mere. or also : stram. or verat. (See Mental alienations.) HYPOCHONDRIASIS.—The medicines which merit a preference in this kind of moral affection, are in general: M-vom. followed by sulph. or: calc. followed by chin, and natr. or else again : Anac. aur. con. grat. lack, mosch. natr- m. phos. phos-ac. sep. and staph. [Also, Agn.

I. clinical remarks. 179 &c they are especially : M-vom. and sulph. or else again : Aur. calc. lach. natr. and sil. With respect to the symptoms, which determine the choice in particular cases, the sufferings in Hypochondria- sis are commonly so complicated, that to comprise them in our indications, it would be almost necessary to repeat the entire pathogenesis of the medicines that have been cited. To render, however, some assistance to beginners, we shall point out some of the most prominent moral and physical symptoms of the princial medicines, while we recommend the student to complete these indications by referring to the whole of the remaining symptoms of the pathogenesis. Thus it will be proper to administer : Calcarea, when there are : Dejection and sadness, with a strong disposition to shed tears ; paroxysms of anguish, with agitation of blood, palpitation of the heart and shocks in the pit of the stomach ; despair on account of a ruined constitution, and great fear of falling sick, of being unfor- tunate, of experiencing grievous accidents, of the loss of reason, or of contracting contagious diseases ; discourage- ment and fear of death, excitability of all the organs ; dis- like and aversion to labour, with incapacity for thought or for the performance of any intellectual work whatever, &c.

VII.) with respect to the indications furnished by the nature and causes of that af- fection. HAEMORRHAGE (Auricular).—See Sanguineous Otor- rhcea. HERPES IN THE EARS.—That kind of Herpes which is usually seated in the ears, or in the skin behind the ears, mostly requires : Graph, hep. mere oleand. petr. sulph. or again : Bar-c. calc cic. lach. lye mez. sep. sil. (See also Sect. 2, the articles: Herpes, Eruptions, Excoriations, Sec, and Compare Chap. II. Diseases of the skin.)

Sulphur, if there be : Drawing, tearing, or shooting pains, extending into the head or throat; burning heat, which comes out of the ears; excessive sensibility of hear- ing to the least noise, to such an extent as to cause nausea, on listening to the softest musical tones; especially in persons subject to colds in the head, or to congestions of the head. Among the other medicines cited, recourse may he also had to : Arnica, in nervous, sensitive persons, who experience a return of the complaint from the slightest cause, with pressure and shootings in and behind the ears, tearing, in- ternal heat, and great sensibility to noise. China, if the tearing pains manifest themselves rather externally than internally, and are aggravated by contact, with redness of the ear, internal shootings and tinkling in the ears. (It is often suitable after arnie) Dulcamara, if the pains be increased during repose, es- pecially at night, with nausea.

Compare also : Prosopalgia, Odontalgia, Cephalalgia, Neuralgia, &e OTITIS.—For acute internal Otitis, Puis, will be SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 283 found in most cases almost a specific. But in some in- stances, if the complaint attack the brain, and be attended with great anguish, vomiting, coldness of the limbs, de- lirium, &c recourse must be had to bell. If, after administering either of these two medicines, there still remain sufferings, which require other remedies, these will be principally : Merc, n-vom. sulph. or again : Bor. bry. calc. cham. magn. Sec. For Chronic internal Otitis, with discharge from the ears. See Otorrhea. In cases of external Otitis, puis, should be preferred, or else again : Bell. bor. calc magn. mere or sulph.

Against Catarrhal or mucous Otorrhoea, the medicines to be preferred are, especially: Bell, mere puis, sulph. or again : Calc. carb-v. hep.? natr-m. sil. Against Purulent Otorrhoea, they are, principally : Bell. hep. mere puis, or again: Asa. calc. caust. lach. nitr-ac. petr. sil. or also : Aur. cist. kal. lyc. natr-m. Sec.

(Compare besides, the articles : Dysecoia, Otalgia, Oti- tis, &c and See Sect. 2, Discharge.) PAROTITIS.—The best medicine against Acute Paro- titis, is mere which in most cases will be found a specific. ' If, however, the disease assume a more serious char- acter, if the inflammation become erysipelatous, or if the pain penetrate to the brain, while the tumour disappears, with lethargy and delirium, bell, must be employed in preference, or else hyos. if bell, be insufficient. If the patient has been previously subjected to an Abuse of Mercury, or if mere be insufficient, if the tumour has begun to harden, with Slow Fever, &c. cgrb-v. is the medi- cine that ought to be employed. This medicine is also almost always suitable, if the pa- tient has a very hoarse voice, or if there be metastasis to the stomach. If Carb-v. be not sufficient against the slow fever, coccul. may be also used. In cases of metastasis on the Testes, puis, or n-vom. should be preferred. Besides the medicines cited, there are also: Kal. and rhus. or else: Am-c. calc. cham. con. which may be admin- istered in obstinate cases. (Compare also : Anginje, Chap. XIII.)

GLOSSITIS, or inflammation of the tongue. The best medicines are : Aeon. arn. ars. bell. lach. mere. If this state be~caused by Mechanical injuries or by the Sting of bees, the principal medicines will be : Aeon. and am. administered alternately. If the Swelling be exceedingly Large, or if there be sect. i. clinical remarks. 349 Indurations : Bell, and mere should be administered in preference, after the use of aconitum. If the inflammation threaten to turn to Gangrene, the best medicines will be : Ars. and lach. H3= Compare also : Stomacace, and See Sect. 2, Swell- ing, Hardness, Inflammation, Redness, &c. of the tongue. HEMORRHAGE (BUCCAL).—A selection must be made, according to the circumstances, and the internal and external causes of the disease, among: Arn. bell. chin. dros. fer. kreos. ? led. and lyc.—See also Chap. IX. Nasal He- morrhage. INFLAMMATION in the mouth.—See Stomacace and Glossitis. OFFERS IVEXESS of the mouth.—Though this incon- venience is always a symptom of some other disease, it often exists without any apparent cause, and in that case, a preference should be given to: Arn. ars. aur. bell. bry. cham. hyos. mere n-vom.puis. sep. sil. sulph. In Young girls, at a critical age: Aur. is often suita- ble ; or again : Bell. hyos. puis, and sep. v If the offensive smell manifest itself only in the morn- ing : Arn. bell, n-vom. sil. and sulph. may be taken into consideration. If it manifest itself afte:i a meal: Cham, n-vom. ox sulph. If it take place in the Evening or at Night : Puis, or sulph.

(Compare Merc, a medicine which is often suitable before or after Bell.) Chamomilla, especially in children, or if the disease be caused by checked perspiration, or if there be: swelling of the parotides, tonsils, and sub-maxillary glands ; shootings, burning pains, or a sensation as if there were an enlargement in the throat; deep redness of the parts affected ; inability to swallow solid food, especially when lying down ; thirst, with dryness in the mouth and throat; tickling in the la- rynx, which provokes a cough ; hoarseness and roughness of the voice ; fever towards the evening, with heat and shiver- ing alternately, redness (especially of one) of the cheeks ; excessive agitation, tossing, cries and tears.

I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 363 the nostrils; aggravation of the complaint in the afternoon and morning, or invariably after sleeping, and also from the slightest contact, and the most trivial pressure of the neck ; mitigation while eating. Mercurius, often at the commencement of the disease, . before bell, or alternately with that medicine, and espe- ' cially if there be : Violent shootings in the throat and amy- gdala, especially when swallowing, and which extend to the parotides, ears and sub-maxillary glands ; burnino- in the throat, and pain as if from excoriation, swelling and great inflammatory redness of the parts affected ; elongation of the uvula ; constant desire to swallow, with sensation as if there were an enlargement which required to be swallow- ed ; difficult deglutition, especially of drinks, which escape through the nostrils ; unpleasant taste in the mouth ; sup- puration of the amygdalas, or ulcers in the throat, which get round them but slowly ; aggravation of the malady at night or in the evening, and also in the cool air and while speaking ; shivering in the evening, or shiverings alternate- ly with heat; perspiration, which affords no relief ; rheu- matic, tearing or drawing pains in the head and nape of the neck. Nux-vomica, often after cham. or in lean, bilious and choleric persons, or persons of a sanguine temperament, and especially if there be : scraping and pain, as if from excoriation in the throat, principally when swallowing and taking an inspiration of cool air ; pain during empty de- glutition, as if the pharynx were contracted, or as if there were a plug in the throat ; shootings into the ears, espe- cially when swallowing; swelling of the uvula, palate or tonsils, or only a sensation of swelling, with pressive and shooting pains ; dry cough, with head-ache, and pains in the hypochondria when ..coughing; small ulcers, of a pu- trid smell, in the mouth and throat. Pulsatilla, principally in females, or persons of a mild character and phlegmatic temperament, and especially" if there be : Redness, sometimes bluish, of the throat, ton- sils, or uvula, with a sensation as if these parts were swollen, or as if there were an enlargement in the pharynx ; scra- ping pain, as if from excoriation, and dryness in the throat, without thirst; shootings in the throat, especially at a pe- riod different from that of deglutition ; shiverings towards the evening, with aggravation of the sore-throat; accumula- tion of tenacious mucus, which covers the parts affected. Among the other medicines that have been cited, re- course may be also had to : 364 CHAP. XIII. THROAT. Aconitum, especially if there be: Violent fever, with dry heat; redness of the cheeks, agitation, tossing, impa- tience and exasperation ; deep redness of the parts affected, with difficult and painful deglutition ; burning, choking, pricking and contraction in the throat ; painful sensibility of the throat, when speaking ; violent thirst. [Act^a, whenever there occurs : Stiffness of the neck, a sensation of swelling and vehement pressure in the ton- sils ; great dryness and burning heat in the throat, with a sensation of hot air passing over it; extreme sensibility of the throat to cold drinks and to cold air ; burning itching ; contraction in the throat on swallowing solid food ; pain- ful pressing after having spoken ; irritation followed by cough and bloody expectoration. When these symptoms persist, despite the previous use of Aconite, the Aetata, aided by Nux-vomica, will mitigate them in a few days. Ammonium Carbonicum, when there is burning on the neck, extending as far as the throat; sensation of swelling in the tonsils on swallowing ; pressure with congestion of the oesophagus, as if some substance had been arrested in its passage, although exempt from pain ; speaking diffi- cult ; voice hoarse ; nocturnal cough violent; respiration short ; and occasionally an apthous appearance Great- sensibility against cold, weakness of the limbs, a contin- ued shudder, which alternates, at night, with heat, also in- dicate this remedy. Ammonium Muriaticum is indicated by : Shooting pains in the neck, whether on swallowing, or independent of de- glutition, and also in the throat on gaping, with bitter taste, anorexia, unquenchable thirst, dry cough and dry coryza ; when frequent tickling is joined to a sensation of roughness and shooting pain, and to a great dryness of the throat, at the same time that there arises an abundant secretion of mucus, which it is very difficult to expec- torate. Then occur repeated shudders, great fatigue, and flushes of agonizing heat. The Sal Ammoniac also answers when the malady is obstinate and threatens to pass over to a chronic state. Baryta, when there are: Penetrating pains in the throat on empty swallowing ; pressure and shooting pains on swallowing aliments ; strong swelling suppuration of the palate and tonsils; obstructions to speech and deglu- tition ; sometimes, in the morning, dryness and painful stitches on swallowing, recurring at night; contraction of the throat, with laboured respiration after meals; efforts to belch; scratching in the throat; humid coryza, with SECT. I. CLINICAL remarks. 365 dry cough, alternate chills, and flushes of heat. The Ba- ryta renders the greatest service when the Angina lingers, remains stationary, passes over to the chronic state, or re- sembles scirrhus. Ed.] Bryonia, against: Painful sensibility of the throat when touched, and on turning the head ; difficult and painful de- glutition, as if from the presence of a hard body in the throat ; shootings and sensation of excoriation and dryness in the throat, to such an extent as to hinder speaking ; fe- ver,'with or without thirst, or shivering and coldness; irascibility and irritability; [with pricking sensations in the throat on swallowing and turning the head ; pressure, swelling and dryness of the back of the throat, the palate and mouth; abundant secretion of saliva; constipation; cold in the head and hoarseness ; dry cough and oppressed respiration. Bryonia follows the Aconite advantageously in practice. Ed.] [Cantharides, when the throat'manifests a burning and grating sensation ; when there is redness and tension in the mouth ; or pressure terminating in shooting pains on swallowing ; or when the patient cannot swallow liquids ; has a bitter and sour taste ; white tongue ; salivation ; vio- lent tickling in the larynx ; dry cough, sometimes followed by bloody expectoration, and laboured painful respiration. Cantharides has proved useful at the conclusion of inflam- matory, and at the commencement of catarrhal sore throats. Ed.] Capsicum in cases in which either cham. bryon. ign. n- vom. or puis, appears to be indicated, without, however, being sufficient, and especially if the fever continue with shiverings and thirst, followed by heat ; pressive pains, with spasmodic constriction of the throat; excoriation and ulceration in the mouth and throat; painful cough ; con- tinued desire to remain lying down and to sleep, with dread of the open air and of the cold. [Capsicum is an energetic remedy when an inflamma- tory pain "exists in the throat, which becomes drawing, or very contracting and convulsive, irrespective of the deglu- tition ; when a painful pressure, a kind of contraction ex- ists in the curtain of the palate during deglutition; and when the ganglions of the neck experience rending and agonizing pains, recurring by paroxysms. To these symp- toms may be added tickling in the throat, which causes frequent sneezing and sensation of roughness ; weak dis- agreeable taste ; excretion of abundant and thin mucus from the nose ; hoarseness ; dry, hacking cough ; and the 366 CHAP. XIII. THROAT. production of a copious mucus in the trachea, expelled by expectoration. Capsicum is also appropriate to many epidemic maladies, or to such of its indications as occur suddenly during the prevalence of an epidemic. Sore throats complicated with gastric or rheumatic ailments, as well as those of unfavourable forms that pass over sudden- ly to a gangrenous state, yield readily to Capsicum, given twice in six hours. Ed.] Coffea, if there be, at the same time, coryza, with irri- tation in the throat, which forces to cough ; especially in the open air, sleeplessness, heat, tearfulness and lamentations ; swelling of the velum palati, with elongation of the uvula ; excessive tenderness of the parts affected, and pains, which appear insupportable ; short, dry cough, &e [Drosejra, dryness and contraction of the palate and pharynx ; pricking in the throat, without deglutition ; ex- pectoration of watery saliva ; irritation to cough, with darting and pricking pains in the larynx, hoarseness, yel- low mucous expectoration and difficult respiration. The voice becomes-materially changed, and the cough, which occurs in the evening on retiring and during the night, is developed in deep, repeated and convulsive paroxysms, which are sometimes succeeded by vomiting. Ed.] Hepar, often after bell, or mere and especially if there be : Dryness, sensation of a plug, or shootings in the throat, as if caused by splinters, especially vjhen swallowing, cough- ing, breathing and turning the head ; painful scraping, which obstructs speech ; obstructed or else impossible de- glutition ; violent pressure in the throat, with danger of suffocation ; swelling of the amygdala?. [Hyoscyamus is indicated for : Burning heat in the face, the features of which are distorted, and the complexion purplish ; dryness of the throat, thirst, prickings in the larynx, contraction of the throat, impossibility of swallow- ing, copious salivation, increasing loss of appetite ; vomit- ings of white mucus or of green bile, collection of mucus in the larynx and trachea, hoarse and indistinct voice con- nected with a sensation of a foreign body firmly lodged in the trachea, nocturnal cough, which may be dry and spas- modic, and respiration laboured and agonizing. The Hy- oscyamus is peculiarly suitable to sensitive and irritable constitutions disposed to spasms or convulsions. Ed.] Ignatia, if there be : Red and inflammatory swelling of the palate or amygdalae ; sensation of a plug in the throat, or shootings into the ears, especially at a period different from that of deglutition, with burning and pain, as if from exco- SECT.

(Com- pare cham. n-vom. puis, or else : Bell, mere hep. sulph. [Ipecacuanha, if there be : Rough, bruised, pricking and swollen sensation of the-throat, especially during de- glutition ; elongation and painful sensibility of the palate; liquid stools ; severe catarrh with drawing pains in the limbs; violent cough with dyspnoea, and without expecto- ration, similar to whooping cough, with congestion of blood to the head, constriction of the surface joined to ex- treme paleness. Ipecac, is also useful in catarrhal sore throats, when they are connected with spasms of the chest and other nervous affections of the same nature. This medicine should be given every two days in alternation with Mux-vomica, to which should be added Arsenic, when agitation and dyspnoea supervene. Ed.] [Manganum Aceticum, if there be ; Dryness, roughness, and a sensation of obstruction in the trachea ; pain in the palate, without swallowing, with prickings on both sides of the neck on empty swallowing ; roughness of the throat, bitter disagreeable taste, anorexia, hoarseness on inspiring air freely ; dry coryza, a disposition to cough, which modi- fies no other symptom, dry cough after talking ; great dry- ness, roughness, and sensation of constriction in the larynx ; yellowish green mucous expectoration ; smarting extend- ing to the cheeks ; febrile paroxysm at night. Ed.] Rhus, frequently in cases in which bryon. appears to be. indicated without being sufficient, and especially if there be : Rather plaintive than passionate humour ; pressure and shootings during deglutition; pulsative pain in the bottom of the gullet; obstructed deglutition, as if from contraction of the throat; sensation of swelling in the throat, with pain as if from a bruise, also when speaking. [Stramonium, if there be : Dryness of the throat, with inability to swallow, contraction, as if from a cord, altered voice, running into a very high octave, difficult 'speech, respiration exceedingly laboured, anxiety and blue dis- colouration of the face. This remedy should be also em- ployed in spasmodic and convulsive conditions of angina, attended with exhaustion of the strength through the vio- lence and duration of the malady. Senega, if there be : White tongue, mucous taste, vom- iturition, smarting in the palate, inflammation of the pha- rynx, and of the uvula, with enlargement; tension from the palate to the articulation of the jaws, dryness of the 368 CHAP. XIII. THROAT. mouth and throat, collection of tenacious mucus, or of lumps of mucus, about the larynx ; frequently a strong scratching, which compels the patient to expectorate and to swallow with burning, itching, and pressing in the throat; also frequent sneezing, dry cough, or cough with expectoration of tenacious mucus, collections of mucus in the larynx, with tickling in the throat, dyspnoea, heat in the face, and slight chills. Senega is very useful in simple sore throats, as well as for rheumatic complications. Ed.] Sulphur, if there be : Swelling of the throat, amygdalae or uvula ; scraping and dryness ; pain as if from excoriation, burning and shootings in the throat, during deglutition or at other times ; pressure in the throat, as if from an enlarge- ment or contraction, and painful sensation of constriction, $ with difficult deglutifion; swelling of the glands of the neck. Among the following medicines recourse may be also had, as occasion requires, to : Baryta carb. if the complaint return after every chill, and if the amygdalae are swollen, hard, and disposed to suppurate. China, against: Swelling of the palate and uvula, with shootings in the throat, especially during deglutition, or with disturbed sleep at night, and aggravation of the dis- order from the least current of air. Cicuta, if in consequence of the introduction of a foreign body, the throat be swollen to such an extent as to render deglutition absolutely impossible, and if bell, be insufficient against that state. Cocculus, if the pain be more deeply seated (in the oeso- phagus), with dryness, which extends into the chest, gurg- ling and clucking when drinking. [Also if there be: * Dryness of the mouth, with a sensation of roughness in the throat, or burning in the throat which extends quite to the curtain of the palate, with a flow of saliva, very great sensibility of the neck, even to smarting, pressing pain in the tonsils on swallowing, bitter and offensive taste, dis- taste for all aliment, partial paralysis of the oesophagus, with sensation of inability to swallow, contraction of the throaVdifficulty of respiration and irritation constantly inducing cough ; cough at night which becomes violent and menaces suffocation. Cocculus, after the prior admin- istration of Aconite, will relieve all inflammatory traces of the above symptoms, that the latter remedy does not reach. Ed.] Dulcamara, in catarrhal angina, in which mere, is indi- SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 369 cated, without being sufficient, and if there be a secretion of much mucus. Sabadilla, against indolent angina, with pressure, burning sensation of enlargement or constriction, during the period of deglutition and at other times ; dryness, scraping and roughness in the throat, with constant desire to swallow. Sepia, against pain, as if from excoriation and shoot- ings during deglutition, with frequent hawking and accu- mulation of much mucus. Veratrum, if the throat he dry, with burning, rough- ness, scraping, or constrictive pain, choking, pressure and spasms during deglutition. [Attention may be also bestowed on the indications of the following remedies in ANGINA GANGRENOSA.— Malignant, putrid sore throat. Acidum Sulphuricum deserves special commendation for the great service it renders where there occur a sud- den decline of the strength, frequent chills, pain in the throat, not very striking, with the exception of a sensation of painful swelling, which extends to the sub-maxillary glands; also an appearance of spots, or patches of. deep bluish red, re-covered by a membrane, beneath which arises more or less suppuration. Arsenic, undoubtedly, is the chief remedy. It is indicated when there is an absolute exhaustion of the strength, sudden emaciation, nocturnal febrile paroxysms, burning, heat,burn- ing face, distorted features, cold hands and indifferent thirst; when the patient is distressed, especially at night, is in bad temper, is agitated, sleepless, tosses himself about in bed, and gnashes his teeth; where the gangrene on the part affected is quite advanced, and there exists an ulce- ration, throwing out excessively foetid matter, which con- stantly increases. The Arsenic is not only useful, but necessary, when an inflammatory and erysipelatous swelling seizes the ton- sils and gullet, especially when attended, at the com- mencement, by a burning pain; applied at this juncture it will prevent the transit of the erysipelatous to the gan- grenous stage. This remedy acts, also, with the happiest effect against an eruption of whitish lumps, pointed and quite burning, accompanied by a violent perspiration. Conium Maculatum is as energetic as the Arsenic, and has been employed with great success when the diseased parts have suddenly assumed an ash-gray colour and a 370 CHAP. XIII. THROAT. blackish aspect ; ulcerations have formed, secreting a foetid matter, without much pain ; the strength, and, with it, the natural temperature have suddenly declined; the spirits of the patient become anxious, indifferent, and prostrated ; the febrile paroxysm becomes irregular, sometimes con- sisting of chills and neat, then of burning fever succeeding the chills, and concluding, at night, in a copious perspira- tion ; whitish eruptions appear on the skin; the face grows pale; features change, with oedema; the tongue be- comes covered with a thick coat, swells, is painful, and the speech is difficult; when the stools are diarrhceic, bloody, and involuntary. Euphorbium has been employed, with advantage, at the commencement of similar affections, when the inflamma- tion has been erysipelatous, and when a violent, drawing, pressing pain has accompanied the strong expressions of fevers and anguish. Kreosote, the medicinal virtues of which are not yet well known, appears to possess properties which corres- pond with the disease in question: it deserves careful and attentive consideration. Mercurics CoRRosivuscanbe profitably employed at the commencement of angina. A prominent inflammatory swelling of the throat and tongue, a burning heat, from the mouth to the stomach, oppression of the chest, vomit- ing, and unquenchable thirst, are the principal indica- tions. When a change in the malignant character of this dis- ease has been accomplished by the use of the preceding remedies ; the crusts and sloughs have been detached ; the ulcers are clean and wear a more favourable appear- ance, when an eruption is developed on the skin, it is pro- bable that Sulphur, or Calcarea, will aid in concluding the sickness and in radically combating the psoric condition which has been the basis and first cause of the malady. It may be also necessary at the same time to sustain the strength of the patient by appropriate auxiliaries.

I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 403 and burning in the epigastrium, as if occasioned by hot coals ; raging and insatiable thirst, which forces to drink often, but little at a time: continued nausea, diarrhaa and violent vomiting of watery, bilious or slimy, greenish, brownish, or blackish matter ; renewal of the vomiting and diarrhoea, immediately after drinking anything, however little; dry, black, and chapt lips and tongue ; sleeplessness, with tossing, complaints and lamentations, great anguish and dread of ap- proaching death ; rapid failure of strength, proceeding to the most complete prostration ; hippocratic face, hollow cheeks, pointed nose, sunk and dull eyes; small, weak, intermittent or trembling pulse ; tonic spasms in the fingers and toes; coldness of the skin and clammy perspiration. Camphora, especially at the commencement of the dis- ease, and particularly if there be neither thirst, nor vomiting, nor diarrhaa, but, rapid failure of strength, to such an ex- tent as not to be able to stand, with wandering look and hollow eyes ; blueness and icy coldness of the face and hands, with coldness of the body ; inconsolable anguish, with dread of being suffocated; the patient half-numbed and insensible utters cries and groans in a hoarse voice, without making any precise complaint ; only that when questioned he at- tributes his lamentations to burning pains in the stomach and throat, with cramps in the calves of the legs and other muscular parts ; on touching the pit of the stomach, cries are uttered.—If there be already diarrhoea or vomiting, with thirst, camphora is* seldom suitable, and never if there be at the same time: Coldness and blueness of the extremi- ties, face, and tongue, with tonic and painful spasms in the limbs and and calves of the legs, dulness of the senses, moans and yearning, tetanus and trismus. Cuprum, principally if there be, besides the vomiting and diarrhoea: Convulsive movements of the extremities, es- pecially of the flngers and toes, sometimes with rolling of the eyeballs, great agitation and coldness in the prominent parts of the face ; pressive pain in the pit of the stomach, aggravated by the touch ; spasmodic colic without vomiting, ox else vomiting preceded by spasmodic constriction of the chest, which obstructs respiration, or accompanied by strong pressure at the epigastrium; deglutition of drinks with a clucking noise along the pharynx. Ipecacuanha, principally in slight attacks, with sensation of softness in the stomach, shiverings commencing at the stomach or intestines, or coldness in the face and extremi- ties ; especially if the vomiting predominate, ox come on alternately with watery diarrhoea, accompanied by colic, 404 CHAP. XV. stomach. or else, if there be a yellowish diarrhoea, without vomiting, but with cramps in the calves of the legs, fingers and toes : Ipec.is especially indicated when the vomiting and diarrhoea appears at the commencement of the disease, or continues after amelioration of the general state ; it is never suitable when the complaint is at its height and in all its intensity. Secale cornut. especially when the vomiting has ceased, but the evacuations are a long time in resuming their natural colour, and when every thing indicates that there is no longer any bile in the intestinal organs, or else, when there are pains in the extremities ; and also, when there are: Loose, brownish, or flock-like and colourless faeces, with rap»d exhaustion, coldness of the extremities, clean tongue, or slight coating of white mucus ; vertigo, an- guish, cramps in the calves of the legs, borborygmus and nausea, before evacuating. Veratuum, is the principal medicine in almost all cases of cholera with violent evacuations upwards and downwards, coldness of the body, great weakness and cramps in the calves of the legs ; especially if there be besides : Vomiting by jerks, sudden, profuse, watery, scentless alvine evacua- tions, mixed with white flocks; paleness of the face, with- out the slightest tinge of colour; eyes surrounded by a livid circle, features expressive of excessive anguish, cold- ness of the hreath and of the tongue ; great anguish in the chest, which forces the patient to rush from the bed, excru- ciating colic, especially round the "navel, as if the abdomen were being torn to pieces, tenderness of the abdomen when touched, drawing and cramps in the fingers, skin on the palms of the hands shrivelled, no secretion of urine. Among the other medicines cited, recourse may be also had to: Belladonna, if there be: Typhoid symptoms, eyes half open and convulsed, grinding of the teeth and distortion of the mouth during sleep, or great agitation with desire to run away, shootings in the side, or burning pains in the abdomen, burning heat, with redness of the face and thirst for cold drinks, quick pulse, which is more or less full, without being hard. Cantharis, if the urinary organs be particularly affect- ed, with violent burning in the hypogastrium, borborygmus, sanguineous evacuations with tenesmus, heat in *he abdo- men and great agitation, with cerebral symptoms. Carbo veg. when there is paralysis, with total absence of pulse, or if, after the cessation of vomiting, diarrhoea and spasms, there be congestion of the chest and head, SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 405 with oppression at the chest and lethargic sleep, with red- ness of the cheeks, which are covered with clammy pers- piration. Chamomilla, especially at the commencement of the disease:, or during the precursory period, and principally if there be: Coating of yellowish mucus on the tongue, colic in the umbilical region, pressure in the region of the stomach extending to the heart, with excessive anguish, cramps in the calves of the legs, watery diarrhoea and sour vomiting. China, against a kind of cholera, with lienteria and vomiting of food ; painful pressure in the abdomen after a very light meal, with oppression at the chest and eructa- tions which relieve; anorexia, with sensation of satiety; hippocratic face ; exhaustion, which proceeds even to syncope. Cicuta, if the diarrhoea be only slight, but the'vomiting occurs alternately with violent tonic spasms in the muscles of the chest, accompanied by convulsions of the eyes; or when there are: Lethargic sleep, with upturned eyes, dys- pnoea, congestion to the head and chest, vomiting or diarrhoea. Colocynthis, if there be: Continued vomiting, first of ingesta, then of greenish matter, with violent colic, no se- cretion of urine, cramp in the calves of the legs, and fre- quent loose evacuations, which become every time more watery and colourless. Dulcamara, against a kind of cholera, occasioned by cold drinks, with vomiting of drinks, bilious, greenish or yellowish matter, and mucus; frequent greenish evacua- tions ; pain in the abdomen, with burning and retraction in the region of the stomach ; great weakness ; pulse almost extinct; coldness in the extremities; violent thirst; ex- cessive dulness. Hyoscyamus, if after the vomiting, diarrhoea and cold- ness have ceased, there be still typhoid symptoms, with stupor, wandering look, redness and heat in the face, and when bell, is insufficient against that state. Lachesis, if neither bell, nor hyos. nox op. has been suf- ficient against a state of stupor and the typhoid symptoms, which are the sequelae of cholera. Laurocerasus, if there be : Rheumatic pains in the extremities ; d3rsecoia, intoxication, distortion of the fea- tures and sensation of contraction in the throat, when swallowing. Nux vom. if the loose evacuations occur seldom, and 406 CHAP. XV. STOMACH. when there is rathex frequent desire, with scanty or even in- effectual evacuations ; gastralgia, great debility, anguish in the pit of the stomach, pressive pain in the sinciput, and coldness rather internally than externally. OpiuMj if neither bell, nor hyos. be sufficient against the state of stupor and lethargic sleep, which manifests itself when the primitive symptoms of cholera have disap- peared. Phosphorus, against the diarrhoea which prevails during the continuance of the cholera, or in consequence of that complaint, especially if it be accompanied by violent thirst, borborygmus, and great weakness. Phosphoric acid, against the diarrhoea itself, with dis- coloured face, bewildered head, so great clamminess of the tongue, that the finger adheres to it, when it touches it, borbo- rygmus, and whitish green, watery and slimy evacuations, with diminished secretion of urine.

With respect to the indications furnished by the Symp- toms, a preference may be given to : Belladonna, especially in cases, in which Cham, ap- pears to be indicated without being sufficiently efficacious ; mostly in women, or delicate, sensitive persons, and prin- cipally if there be : Corrosive pressure or spasmodic ten- sion, which forces one to bend oneself backwards and to hold in the breath, by which actions the pain is relieved ; renewal of the pains during dinner; or else pain, so vio- lent, that it deprives of consciousness and causes one to fall from weakness; also, decided thirst, with aggravation of the pains after drinking; slow and scanty evacuations; sleeplessness at night, sometimes with sleep during the day. Bryonia, against: Pressure as if from a stone in the pit of the stomach, et-pecially when eating or immediately af- ter a meal, with a sensation of swelling in the region of the stomach ; contractive, pinching, and incisive pains, miti- gated by pressing on the epigastrium, or by eructations ; aggravation of the pains from movement, or walking, with shootings in the epigastrium, on making a false step ; also: Constipation, pressure and compression in the temples, forehead and occiput, as if the cranium would split, miti- gated by pressing upon the parts affected and by com- pressing the head tightly. Calcakea, especially in plethoric persons, disposed to bleed at the nose, or in women who have the catamenia too profusely ; or else in eases in which bell, has been efficacious without being sufficient, and especially if there be : Pressive, compressive spasmodic pains, or sensation as if there were a clawing and a gathering in the stomach, with anxiety ; aggravation of the pains at night or after a meal, frequently with vomiting of food, sourness and nausea, and with painful sensibility of the region of the stomach to pressure; also: Constipation and hamorrhoidal sufferings, or else chronic relaxation of the abdomen; palpitation of the heart, &c.

Chamomilla, if there be: Distention of the abdomen and hypochondria, with pressure as if from a stone, or as if the heart would be crushed, with oppression, dyspnoea and shortness of breath ; aggravation of the pains after a meal, or at night, with great anguish and tossing ; amelioration, while bent double, momentary mitigation from partaking of coffee; especially if there be at the same time: Pulsative cephalalgia in the vertex at night, which forces to quit the bed; peevishness, and irascibility. ' (Cham, often succeeds best alternately with coffee ; if it produce no improve- ment, notwithstanding the apparent similarity of the symp- toms, bell, should be substituted for it.) China, especially if there be : Great weakness of diges- tion, with distention and painful pressure in the stomach, af- ter eating or drinking, ever so little ; sourness, pyrosis ; mu- cous or bilious derangement of the primary organs; pitu- ita from the stomach; frequent vomiturition ; aggravation of the pains during repose ; amelioration from movement; anorexia and repugnance to all sorts of food and drink; indolence, desire to sleep, hypochondriacal humour and unfitness for labour, especially after a meal; tardy evacua- tions ; yellowish, earthy complexion; yellowness of the sclerotica. Cocculus, often when n-vom. or cham. has relieved the patient without preventing a return of the complaint, and especially if there be: Pain in the stomach, with pressive, constrictive pains in the abdomen, mitigated by the emis- sion of flatus ; renewal of the colic after a meal, with nau- sea, accumulation of water in the mouth and oppression at the chest; hard, retarded evacuations; moroseness and peevishness, with self-concentration.

(Nux-vomica is also indicated in most cases of gastral- gia, at the commencement, and two or three doses of it will frequently be sufficient to effect a radical cure, or at least such an amelioration, that carb-v. will afterwards easily accomplish the rest. There are, however, also cases in which n-vom. produces only a momentary mitiga- tion, which is immediately succeeded by renewed aggra- vation. In this case, the medicines that ought to be administered are, according to circumstances : Puis. cham. or ign.

GASTRIC derangement.—See Gastroses, GASTRITIS, or inflammation of the stomach. The af- fection, which we here designate under this name, is neither the functional disorder, denominated dyspepsia, nor simple gastric derangement, but only Gastritis properly so called, and characterized by : Continued violent pain in the region of the stomach ; aggravated by the touch, by every move- ment of the abdominal muscles, and by ingestion of any substance whatever, with painful sensibility, distention, heat ox pulsation in the epigastrium ; vomiting of every thing that is taken into the stomach ; great anguish ; coldness of the extremities ; excessive weakness, spasms, and other consen- sual nervous accidents. The best medicines against this inflammation are, in general : Aeon. ars. bell. bry. hyos. ipec n-vom. puis, verat. or else : Ant. canth. euphnrb. ran. stram. nnd perhaps also, in obstinate cases: Asa. bar-c. ? bar-m, ? camph. cann. ? colch. coloc. cupr. dig. hell. iat. ? laur. ? mez. ? nitr. phos. sabad. sec. squill, tereb. ? [Also: Chel. Ed.] Among these medicines a preference may be given to : Aconitum, almost always at the commencement, espe- cially if there be violent inflammatory fever, with violent pains, or if the affection be caused by a chill, or by cold drinks, taken after being over-heated. Antimonium, if the complaint be caused by gastroses, in consequence of indigestion, &e and if there be frequent vomitings, with a thick coating of white or yellowish mu- cus on the tongue. Arsenicum, often alternately with aeon, and especially if the disease be caused by a chill in the stomach from ice, &e or if the case be characterized by a rapid failure of strength, with pale, hippocratic face, coldness of the ex- tremities, &e and when verat. is insufficient against that state. . Belladonna, if cerebral symptoms be united with stu- por, loss of consciousness, or delirium, and if hyos. be in- sufficient against that state. Bryonia, often after aeon, or ipec especially if the com- plaint be occasioned by a chill from cold drinks, taken after being over-heated. 412 CHAP. XV. STOMACH. Hyoscyamus, if there be hypochondriacal sufferings, or else cerebral symptoms, with stupor, loss of consciousness or delirium, and when the patient has no sense of the seri- ous nature of the disorder. Ipecacuanha, if the vomitings predominate, and espe- cially if the complaint be caused by gastroses, in conse- quence of indigestion, &e or else if there be violent pains, or if the complaint be occasioned by a chill from cold ■drinks, and if aeon, be insufficient. Nux-vom. often in consequence of indigestion, or a chill from cold drinks, especially after aeon. bry. ipec. or ars. if neither of these medicines be sufficient. Pulsatilla, if the complaint he caused by gastroses or by a chill in the stomach from ice, and especially if neither ars. nor ipec be sufficient in either of these cases. Veratrum, whenever*the case is characterized by ex- treme coldness of the limbs, rapid failure of strength, pale and hippocratic face.

Nux-vom. if there be a sensation of constriction in the lower part of the chest, as if that region were bound tight- ly by a cord, with short, fatiguing cough, anxiety, consti- pation, and thirst. Besides these medicines : Cann. cocc. hyos. ipec puis. stram. and verat. have been also recommended. ENLARGEMENT of the abdomen.—For enlargement of the abdomen in Children, See Carreau. For that in young girls, at a critical age, lach. is often very beneficial. For that in aged women, or in those who have had • many children, the principal me'dicine is Sep. or again : Bell. calc. ? chin. ? n-vom. ? plat. ENTERALGIA.—See Colic ENTERITIS.—The best medicine, in most cases, is aeon, of which a few doses, administered every two or three hours, will lower the inflammation to such an extent, that lach. bell, or mere will complete the cure. In more complicated cases, recourse may be had also, according to the circumstances, to : Ars. bry. hyos. n-vom. or else again : Ant. cham. chin, coloc. ipec. nitr-ac. phos. puis. rhus. sec. squill, or sulph. [Also : Canth. Ed.J For the details, by which a selection should be decided, . Compare the articles : Gastritis, Gastroses, Cholera, Co- lic, Diarrhoea, &c in their respective chapters. FLATULENCE.—The best medicines are : Chin, n- vom. puis, sulph. or else: Bell, carb-v. cham. cocc. or again : Agn. colch. coloc. fer. graph, lyc. natr. natr-m. nitr- ac. n-mos. phos. verat. zinc, mgs-arc. [Also : Asa. calc-ph. nux-mos. Ed.] If the malady manifest itself in consequence of Flatu- lent food, chin, is to be preferred. After Drinks : M-vom. After eating Pork or any other Fat meat : Chin, ox puis. \yy See also : Colic, and Sect. 3, Flatulency. HELMINTHIASIS or Vermiculous affections.—The best medicines are in general: Aeon. cin. mere sulph. or again : Calc. carb-v. chin. cic. fer. fil. graph, ign. n-mos. sa- bad. sil. spig. Sec. (See Chap. XVIlI. Sect. 2, Worms.) For Tape-worm or Taenia, the treatment may commence in most cases by administering a single dose of sulph. when the moon is waning, then a single dose of mere at the full moon following ; repeating the sulph. eight days after, and so on for some time. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 445 If these two medicines remain inefficacious, or contri- bute nothing to the cure, a preference may be given to : Calc carb-v. fil. frag. gran. ? graph, sabad. Sec. (See Chan. XVII. Sect. 5, Tenia.) * For the sufferings caused by Lumbrici, the best medi- cines are in general: Aeon. cin. mere sulph. ox again : Bell. chin. cic. hyos. n-vom. rhus. sil. spig. If there be : Fever with colic, desire to vomit, hard- ness and distention of the abdomen, tenesmus or small slimy evacuations, the principal medicine is : aeon, which may, in case of necessity, be followed at the end of some hours by : cin. and recourse may be afterwards had to mere if cin. produce no change in the course of four and twenty hours. If there be, with the fever and colic : Violent, excessive nervous excitability, starts and disposition to be frightened, bell, is to be preferred, or else lach. if bell, is insufficient. The following medicines may be also administered in the following manner: Against the Fever: Chin. cic. sil. spig.—Against Colic with Convulsions : Cic.—Against Co- lic, with bulimy, diarrhoea and coldness: Spig.—And against Fever in scrophulous subjects : Sil. When the intensity of the disorder has been subdued by one or other of the preceding medicines, sulph. may be often employed with great success, both to remove the re- maining sufferings and to prevent a return. In most cases it will be sufficient, or even better to administer only a sin- gle dose, at intervals of three, four, or five weeks, and if at the end of that time there still appear symptoms, which excite a suspicion that a lingering remnant of the disease continues, such as atrophy, voracious appetite, paleness of the face, &e the cure will be frequently completed by: Bar-c. calc. graph, lyc or natr-m. See besides, also, Chap. XVII. Sect. 5, Lumbrici. Lastly, fqr sufferings caused by Ascarides, the most suitable medicines are : Aeon. calc. chin. fer. ign. mere sulph. If there be feverish agitation, especially at night, with sleeplessness and tossing, aeon, is preferable, or else : Ign. if aeon, is insufficient. In cases, in which these two medicines continue ineffi- cacious, or in which the complaint constantly returns, es- pecially at the new or full moon, a dose of sulph. may be administered immediately after each of these periods, ei- ther at once, or in a solution of eight ounces of water, of which the patient should take a desert spoonful, every day. Vol. II. 38 446 CHAP. XVI. ABDOMEN. If sulphur be also insufficient: Calc. or else fer. may be administered in the same manner ; and if an obstinate* diarrhoea succeed the use of fer. recourse may be had to : Chin. \ry See besides, Chap. XVIII. Sect. 3, Ascarides. HEPATITIS and other Affections of the liver.—The best medicines against diseases of the liver,are in general: Aeon. bell. bry. cham. chin. lach. mere n-vom. puis, sulph. Or else : Aur. calc. kal. lyc magn-m. natr. natr-m. nitr- ac. Or else again : Alum. ambr. am-e verb. ? cann. canth. n- mos. [Also: Cic. dig. mag-mur. mang. nitr. petr. ran. Ed.] For Acute hepatitis, the principal medicines are : Aeon. bell, mere n-vom. or again : Bry. cham. chin. lach. puis, sulph. Aconitum is especially indicated at the commencement of a cure, and particularly if there be : Violent inflamma- tory fever, with shooting pains in the hepatic region ; in- supportable pains, with moaning, tossing, anguish and fear of death. Belladonna, if there be : Pressive pains, which extend to the chest and shoulders, distention of the pit of the stomach, tension in the epigastrium, difficult and anxious respiration, congestion to the head, with clouded sight, vertigo with fainting, burning thirst, anxious tossing and sleeplessness. (It is often suitable after aeon, or alter- nately with mere or lach.) Bryonia, if there be : Pressive pains, with tension in the hypochondria, thick, yellowish coating on the tongue, violent oppression at the chest, with rapid and anxious respi- ration, constipation, and aggravation of the pains from movement. Chamomilla, if there be: Dull, pressive pains, which are aggravated neither by external pressure, nor by movement, nor by respiration, with pressure in the stomach, tension in the hypochondria, oppression in the chest, yellow colour of the skin; thick yellow coating on the tongue; bitter taste in the mouth, and paroxysm of anguish. China, if there be : Aggravation of the complaint, every second day, with shooting and pressive pains, swell- ing and hardness of the hepatic region and epigastrium, pressive cephalalgia, bitter taste in the mouth and thick yellowish coating on the tongue. Lachesis, frequently in cases in which mere, or bell, ap- pears to be indicated without being sufficient, or alternately with either of these medicines, especially in persons ad- dicted to spirituous liquors. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 447 Mercurius, often after bell, if this medicine be insuffi- cient and especially if there be: Pressive pains, which do not allow one to lie long on the right side, bitter taste in the mouth, anorexia with thirst, continued shivering, deci- ded yellowness of the skin and eyes. (Lach. is often suitable after mere.) Nux-vom. if the pains be shooting or pulsative, with excessive tenderness of the he*patic region when touched ; bitter and sour taste; desire to vomit or else vomiting ; pressure in the hypochondria and epigastrium, with short- ness of breath ; thirst, red urine, pressive cephalalgia, ver- tigo and paroyxsm" of anguish. (Sulph. is often suitable after n-vom.) Pulsatilla, when there are : Frequent paroxysms of an- guish, especially at night, with loose, greenish, and slimy evacuations, desire to vomit, bitter taste in the mouth, yel- lowness of the tongue, oppression at the chest, tension in the hypochondria and pressive gastralgia. Sulphur, often after n-vom. especially when the shoot- ing pains continue ; or else in all cases in which the pre- ceding medicines produce, in a few days, no perceptible amelioration, or when the amelioration which they have produced makes no farther progress. For Chronic affections of the liver, the best medicines are : M-vom. or sulph. or else : Aur. lach. lyc. magn-m. natr. or again : Alum. amb. calc. chin. sil. For Enlargement or Induration of the liver, they are especially : Ars. calc. chin, n-vom. sulph. or again : Cann. ? graph, lyc. magn-m. mere, n-mos. [Also : Chel. ign. iod. Ed.] Hepatic Abscess appears to require in preference: Lach. or sil. or perhaps again : Bell. ? mere ? hep. ? Against Biliary calculus : Bell. calc. hep. lach. lyc. sil. sulph. HERNIA.—The best medicines for the radical cure of hernia, are : Aur. cocc magn. n-vom. sil. verat. Hernia in Children, caused by their crying, requires especially : Aur. cocc. n-vom. nitr-ac. or verat. Against Incarcerated or strangulated hernia, relief will be afforded in most cases, with sufficient speed, and without any surgical operation, by: Aeon, n-vom. op. sulph. or else by : Ars. bell. lach. verat. Aconitum is especially indicated if there be: Violent in- flammation of the parts affected, with burning pain in the abdomen, as if from hot coals, excessive sensibility to the least touch, nausea, bitter, bilious vomiting, anguish and cold perspiration. 448 chap. xyi. abdomen. * In the majority of cases, a decided amelioration will take place after the second dose, whioh, in case of neces- sity may be administered an hour after the first ; but if there be no change after the third, recourse must be had to sulph. (See Sulph.) Nux-vom. if the tumour be less painful and less tender when touched, the vomitings less violent, but the respira- tion greatly obstructed, and* especially if the strangulation be caused by a chill, by being over-heated, by contradic- tion or being in a passion, or else by neglect of regimen, &c. (It may, perhaps, be repeated every two hours.) Opium, if in the space of one or two hours after the second dose of n-vom. no change take place, or if there be, from the commencement, redness of the face, distention and hardness of the abdomen, putrid eructations, or even vomiting of faecal matter. (It may, perhaps, be repeated every quarter of an hour, till a decided amelioration has taken place.) * If in the preceding case, the vomiting manifest itself with cold perspiration and coldness of the extremities, ve- rat. should be preferred, and if there be no change after the second dose it should be succeeded by bell. Sulphur, is to be preferred, if the hernia be not reduced in one hour, after the administration of the second dose of aconit. or else if the bilious vomitings be changed to acid vomiting. After sulph. has been administered, it will be well to wait some hours, and to allow the patient to repose quietly, if he happen to go to sleep. * In cases, in which the tumour exhibits symptoms of gangrene, lach. is preferable, or else : ars. if lach. be inef- fectual. ICTERUS.—The principal medicine is mere which fre- quently accomplishes a cure alone, provided the patient has not been exposed previously to an abuse of that medi- cine. In that case a preference should be given to chin. which may also be administered alternately with mere. when this remedy is insufficient. In very obstinate cases, which resist the efficacy of these two medicines, recourse may be had to : Hep. lach. or sulph. administered alternately with mere according to circumstances. If icterus manifest itself in consequence of a sharp dispute or a fit of passion : cham. or n-vom. is to be preferred, or else : lach. or sulph. With respect to icterus produced by the abuse of cer- tain medicinal substances; recourse may be had, against that caused by cinchona, to: Merc, ox bell. calc. n-vom.— SECT. I.

[Also : Fer. iod. Ed.] For Acute splenitis the principal medicine is : Chin. and then : Aeon. arn. ars. bry. n-vom, Aconitum is only indicated to allay the fever, at the commencement, if the violence of the disease require it, but: Chin, maybe often administered at once. (See China.) Arnica, if chin, be not quite sufficient and especially if there be : Pressive, shooting pains, which obstruct respira- tion, or if typhoid symptoms manifest themselves with apathy and stupor, and if the patient be perfectly insensi- ble to the seriousness of his state.

Aconitum, if the dysentery manifest itself during the hot weather, attended-with cold nights; with rheumatic pains of the head, neck and shoulders, or with violent chills, intense heat and thirst. If Acon. do not answer, Cham. mere nux-vom. ox puis, will frequently be of service. [Aloe. Violent evacuations with most painful tenes- mus and faintness when at stool. Ed.] Arsenicum, when the stools are putrid, with involun- tary evacuations, great feebleness, foetid urine, offensiveness of the mouth, stupor, with red or bluish spots. (If the Arsen. be not sufficient, Carb-v. successfully follows it, also Mux-vom. when this state has been aggravated by the arsenic.) [Baryta Muriatica. Frequent daily evacuations of bloody mucus, painless, with loss of flesh. Ed,] "Bryonia, frequently after Acon, especially during the - heat of summer, and if the dysentery has been induced by a chill from the use of cold drinks. Carbo Veget. when the Arsen. has failed against the putrid dysentery, and when the patient has cold breath and complains of burning pains. If after the use of the char- coal, the putrid odour of the stools do not disappear, it will be necessary to have recourse to China. Chamomilla, frequently after Acon. especially if there be great heat with thirst, rheumatic pains in the head, and great restlessness. China, if neither Arsen. nor Carb-v, be sufficient to ar- rest the putrid dysentery, or that form which arises in marshy districts ; especially if the disease assume an in- termittent character, Colocynthis is one of the principal medicines against dysentery after the use of mercury, if there be present cramp-like colics, causing the patient to bend together, with great restlessness, and evacuations of bloody mucus ; fulness and heaviness in the abdomen, with inflation as if from tympanitis ; shivering over the belly ; white coated tongue. Ipecacuanha is one of the most efficient remedies in that form of dysentery which appears in autumn, after the previous use of Aconite, or when there are present violent tenesmus and colic, with evacuations,^™/ of bilious matter, then of bloody mucus. When the Ipec fails, Colocynth. will be frequently found indicated. [Mercurius Solub is a specific in epidemic autumnal dysenteries.

Pulsatilla, especially when the evacuations contain mucus streaked with blood; pasty taste in the mouth ; vomiturition ; mucous vomiting ; frequent chills, especially towards evening; dyspnoea, and fretful humour. Rhus, if in the advanced stage of he disease, the evacu- ations be nocturnal, involuntary and without colic or te- nesmus. Sulphur, frequently in the most desperate cases, when the previous remedies have not controlled the disease, es- pecially if there be dyspnoea ; evacuations of mucus streaked with blood ; frequent and excessive urging to stool; violent tenesmus, especially at night ; and among persons subject to haemorrhoids. \yy For the rest of the medicines mentioned, examine the Pathogenesis, and compare with Diarrhoea.

The Sulphur may be applied most satisfactorily after the use of Mux. ; but by the alternation of these two remedies, almost every form of chronic haemorrhoidal disease may be controlled. \ry For other remedies see the Pathogenesis, and compare with Colics, Constipation, Abdominal Congestion, &e ITCHING of the anus. For this affection when com- plicated with a papular eruption, vide article Prurigo. For that form of itching that arises from ascarides, vide Chap. XVI. Helminthiasis. For that which is caused by hemorrhoids, the princi- pal remedies are : Acon. nux-vom. and sulph. LIENTERIA.—Diarrhaa with passage of undigested food. Vid. Diarrhoea, and compare Sect. 3, Undigested food in stools. LUMBRICI.—Long round worms. Vid. Sect. 2, and compare Chap. XVI. Helminthiasis. PARALYSIS of the Sphincter of the anus. Vid. Sect. 2, same term. PROLAPSUS ANI.—Descent of the rectum. The best remedies are : Ign. nux-vom. mere sulph. And for predis- position to this difficulty, the following may also be con- sulted : Ars. calc. lyc. rut. sep. Vide also Sect. 2, same article. Descent of the rectum in infants, principally demands, Ign. or nux-vom. PRURIGO.—Papular Eruption. The medicines most apposite to this disease are : Mere nitr-ac. sep. sulph. thuy. or perhaps, Bar-c. calc. zinc. RHAGADES of the anus.—Cracks or fissures of the anus. The remedies to be selected are : Agn. and Graph., which have been employed with signal success; we can also consult: Calc. cham. hepar. rhus. sass. sulph. Sec. Vid. Chap. II.

SECTION I.--CLINICAL REMARKS. BLENNORRHCEA of the Vesica or Bladder.—See Ca- tarrh of the Bladder. BLENNORRHCEA of the Urethra.—See Gonorrhoea. CALCULUS and Gravel.—The medicines that have been found most efficacious in these affections, either re- lieving, or curing them by the expulsion of a great quanti- ty of gravel with the urine, are: Calc cann. n-vom. petr. phos. uva. Perhaps in some cases, recourse may be also had to : Canth. nitr-ac n-mos. zinc. The medicines that have been most successfully em- ployed against Calculus in Vesica or the Stone, are espe- cially : Cann. sass. and uva. For Renal calculus: Lyc. and sass. have been admin- istered with the greatest success. CATARRH of the vesica.—The best medicines are, 496 chap, xviii. urinary organs. according to circumstances : Dulc. puis, sulph. or againt Ant. calc. con. kal. n-vom. phos.—See also Cystitis and D\'SUR1A. CONTRACTION of the urethra.—Against organic con- tractions, caused by callosities, a preference may be given to : Clem. dig. dulc. petr. sulph. or else : Puis. CYSTITIS or inflammation of the bladder.—The medi- cines, among which an efficacious remedy for this disease may be most frequently found, are : Acon. camph. cann. canth. dig. n-vom. puis, or again : Calc graph, hyos. kal. lyc. mez. sep. sulph. Aconitum is especially indicated if there be: Violent fever with thirst, frequent and urgent desire to urinate, with no emission, or with emission of only a few drops of deep-coloured red and turbid, or else sanguinolent urine ; painful tenderness of the vesical region, especially when touched, with aggravation of the pains when urinatino-. Camphora, if the complaint result from abuse of Can- tharides, either in the form of a vesicatory, or in any other manner; or else, if there be complete retention of urine, or slow emission of urine in a slender stream, with burning in the urethra and bladder. Cannabis, frequently after acon. especially if there be complete retention of urine ; or else, if the desire to uri- nate manifest itself especially at night, with burning pains, when urinating ; or emission, drop by drop, of sanguino- lent urine Cantharis, if there be: Violent, but ineffectual desire to urinate, or with emission of only some drops of satura- ted urine; shooting and burning pains in the vesical re- gion, especially before and after the emission of urine ; or else, incisive pains from the loins to the bladder ; disten- tion of the abdomen, which is tender when touched, espe- cially in the region of the vesica. Digitalis, when the neck of the bladder is principally affected, and when there is retention of urine, with con- strictive pain in the bladder, or frequent or painful desire to urinate, with emission of only a few drops of deep- coloured and turbid urine. Dulcamara, especially in chronic affections of the blad- der, if there be : continued desire to urinate, with unplea- sant sensation of a flow towards the vesical region and urethra ; emission, drop by drop, of urine which deposits a slimy sediment, or which is mixed with sanguinolent cor- puscular (Kal. or phos. is sometimes suitable after: dulc) SECT. I. clinical remarks. 497 Nux-vom. if there be : frequent desire to urinate, with violent pains, during and after a scanty emission of urine, which is sometimes also discharged dsop by drop : burn- ing pain in the urethra and bladder, or else in the loins ; contractive pain in the urethra after urinating, especially if the patient has indulged too freely in spirituous liquors, or if the disease be joined to haemorrhoidal affections. Pulsatilla, if the desire to urinate be accomplished by pressive, burning, and incisive pains in the region of the bladder ; with heat and redness of that part, and often with complete retention of urine, or scanty and painful emission of excessively slimy urine, or emission of sanguinolent urine, with purulent sediment. Sulphur, in many most obstinate cases, or when none of the preceding medicines are quite sufficient, and espe- cially if the urine be mixed with mucus or blood, with burning in the urethra when urinating. (Calc. is often suit- able after sulph. especially if the complaint be caused by the suppression of haemorrhoids ; and if calc. be insuffi- cient against the burning pains, ars. or carb-v. may be ad- ministered.) For the remainder of the medicines cited, see their pa- thogenesis, and the symptoms, Sect. 2, 3, 4, 5.—Compare also Dysuria, Hematuria, Ischuria, and Nephhitis. Diabetes.—Carb-v. led. natr-m. phos-ac. have been prin- cipally recommended ; but in the case of the last-named medicine alone, there are four authenticated instances of its having accomplished the cure of a kind of dysuria, which is characterized by milky urine, such as is some- times seen alternately with watery and colourless urine in diabetes mellitus. In other cases, perhaps, recourse may be had also to : Bar-m. con. magn. meph. and especially: Merc and sufph. DYSURIA, strangury, &c.—The best medicines against these irritations of the urinary organs are, in general: Acon. bell, camph. cann. canth. coloc. dulc. hep. mere, n-vom. puis. sulph. or again: Arn. ars. aur. berb. ? calc. con. dig. hyos. kal. n-mos. phos. sass. staph. [Also : Colch. Ed.] If these sufferings be the result of a chill, a preference may be given to : Acon. bell. dulc. or again to: Merc, n- vom. puis.—After a chill in the water especially: Puis. sass. or else : Calc. ox sulph. After the abuse of spirituous liquors : M-vom. or else : Puis, sulph. After abuse of Cantharides : Camph. or again : Acon puis. 42* 498 CHAP. XVIII. URINARY organs. In persons subject to Hemorrhoids, or after the suppres- sion of a chronic Haemorrhoidal discharge: M-vom. puis. sulph. or again : Acon. ars. calch. carb-v. lach. mere In Pregnant females, or females subject to Dysmenor- rhea: Cocc.phos-ac. puis, or again : Con. n-vom. sulph. In Children : Acon. bell, mere n-vom. puis. ; and if it be the consequence of a fall, or of a blow on the back, or abdomen : Arn.—After a fright : Acon. \ry For the details, See Cystitis and Nephritis, and Compare Ischuria. ENURESIS.—Incontinence of Urine—Paralytic enu- resis requires especially : Cic. mgs-aus. or, perhaps, again : Acon. ars. bell. caus. ? dulc hyos. lach. laur. magn. ? natr- m. ? petr. ? zinc. ? (Compare Sect. 5, Paralysis of the ve- sica, and Sect. 2, Involuntary emission of urine.) Against spasmodic enuresis, the medicines most, fre- quently indicated are : Bell. caus. cin. con. hyos. ign. magn. natr-m. puis. rhus. or again : Bar-c. bry. lach. lyc. mere. nitr-ac. rut. spong. sulph. (Compare Sect. 5, Spasms and Te- nesmus of the vesica.) Nocturnal enuresis (wetting the bed), mostly finds a remedy among : Ars. bell, carb-v. cin. puis. sep. sil. sulph. or else among: Am-c arn. calc. caus. chin. cin. con. graph. hep. petr. natr. ruta. mgs-aus. See also, Sect. 2, Involuntary Emission of urine. FISTULA URINARIA.—The medicines which merit a preference, are : Ars. calc. sil. sulph. [Also : Carb-an. Ed.J GONORRHOEA.—The principal medicine in the in- flammatory period is Cann. of which a dose of one drop (teinture mere), should be administered morning and even- ing, or else from 3 to 6 globules of the 3d, 6th, or 9th attenuation, should be dissolved in 8 ounces of water, and a spoonful of this solution should be taken m .rning and evening. In the majority of cases, a perceptible diminution of the inflammatory symptoms will be obtained by this treatment at the end of a few days, without having recourse to any other medicines, especially if the patient keep himself per- fectly quiet, complete rest being the indispensable condition of a speedy cure. When the inflammatory symptoms have disappeared, the cure will frequently be completed by mere (3d tritura- tion) or by sulph. ox else by these two medicines adminis- tered alternately.—Merc, is especially indicated if the run- ning be greenish and puriform, while sulph. is better suited to a serous, whitish discharge. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 499 There are, however, also cases in which it will be ne- cessary to have recourse to other medicines, such as canth. if the inflammation be violent, with Ischuria, priapisrrius, painful erections, Sec. and when cannab. is insufficient against that state ; or else petros. if the strangury which sometimes succeeds will neither yield to cann. nor to mere, nor to sulph. For Secondary gonorrhoea, especially when the previous treatment has corsisted in large doses of balsam of copaiba, or of cubeba, the most suitable medicines are : Sulph. or mere, or else: Caps. fer. nitr-ac. natr-m. n-vom. sep. thuy.— Caps, is especially indicated if the running be whitish and thick, like cream, with scalding when urinating ; and if caps, be insufficient, the cure will be often completed by fer. or n-vom. If there be, at the same time, Condylomata on the genital organs, Mitr-ae thuy. or cinn. must be preferred ; though mere and sulph. administered alternately, frequent- ly remove both the gonorrhoea and the condylomata. When there is a complication of Gonorrhoea and Chan- cres, recourse-must be had to mere immediately, whether the gonorrhoea be primitive or secondary. Besides the medicines cited: Agn. con. cop. cub. dulc. hep. led. lyc. merc-c. mez. petr, sil. have also been recom- mended. [Also : Sab. Ed.] With respect to the affections produced by Suppressing the discharge, such as articular Rheumatism, Orchitis, Oph- thalmia, Sec. See these affections in their respective chap- ters. HiEMATURIA.—The medicines most frequently indi- cated are : Am. ars. cann. canth. chin, ipec lyc mere. mez. mill. puis, or again : Calc. con. sulph. (Compare also Cysti- tis and Dysuria, and likewise Sect. 5, Discharge of blood from the urethra. HEMORRHOIDS vesicae.—The most eligible' medi- cines are : M-vom. puis, sulph. or again : Acon. ars. calc. carb-v. lach. mere [Also : Graph, sab. Ed.] Compare also Dysuria. ISCHURIA.—Against Spasmodic retention of urine, a preference may be given to: M-vom. op. puis, or perhaps again to : Aur. canth. con. hyos. lach, rhus. verat. [Also : Dig. Ed,] (Compare Dysuria, and also Sect. 5, Spasms and Tenesmus of the vesica.) Against Inflammatory ischuria, principally: Acon. cann. canth. n-vom. puis. Sec. (Compare Cystitis and Dysuria.) Against Paralytic ischuria: Ars. dulc. hyos. Sec, (Com. pare Sect. 5, Paralysis of the vesica,) 500 CHAP. XVIII. URINARY ORGANS. LITHIASIS.^See Calculus. NEPHRITIS and NEPHRALGIA.—The medicines that have been hitherto employed with most success are : Bell. cann. canth. n-vom. puis, and perhaps : Alum. berb. colch. hep. lyc sass. may be also used. [Also: Cyc. dig. nitr. Ed.] Belladonna is especially indicated if there be shooting pains in the kidneys, extending" along the urethra into the bladder, with periodical aggravation, great anguish and co- lie (If bell, be insufficient, hep. will be often suitable.) Cannabis, if there be a drawing pain from the kidneys to the pubis, with great anxiety and uneasiness. Cantharis, if the pains be shooting, tearing and inci- sive, with painful emission of a few drops of water only, or complete ischuria ; or else if the urine be mixed with blood. Nux-vom. if the complaint be occasioned by the sup- pression of haemorrhoids, or by abdominal congestion, with tension, distention and pressure in the region of the kid- neys, Pulsatilla, if the disease manifest itself with amenor- rhea, or too scanty catamenia in delicate persons, of a mild and phlegmatic temperament; or else if there be san- guinolent urine with purulent sediment, \ry Compare also: Cystitis, Dysuria, Hematuria and Ischuria, PARALYSIS of the bladder.—See Sect. 5, POLYPUS of the bladder.—There is on record only one instance of this complaint being cured by homceopathia ; and calc was the medicine administered in that case. Per- haps staph, may also be found useful sometimes. RETENTION of urine.—Compare Sect. 5, same word, and See Ischuria. STRANGURY.-—See Dysuria and Strangury, and also Sect. 2, Emission of urine, drop by drop.

BALANITIS.—See Sect. 2, Inflammation of the gland, and Compare Balannorrhcea, Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, &c. BALANNORRHCEA, or Pseudo-gonorrhcea.—If this affection be of a syphilitic or sycotic nature, the medicines which merit a preference are, according to circumstances: Merc, nitr-ac. or thuy. In all other cases, the following will be found most effi- cacious: M-vom. sep. sulph. or again: Cinn. mere mez. nitr-ae thuy.—Compare also Sect. 2, Copious Secretion of s.megma. CHANCRES.—See Chap.

In some cases, however, recourse may be also had to: Puis, or zinc, or else again to : M-vom. rhus. sulph.—Compare Orchitis. HERNIA SCROTALIS.—The medicines that have been hitherto employed with most success are : Magn-m. and n-vom.

Ed.] For hydrocele in Scrophulous persons: Sil. has been particularly recommended. \ry See also Sect. 2, Dropsical Swelling. IMPOTENCE.—The medicines that have hitherto ap- peared most efficacious, are: Bar-c. calc cann. con. lyc. mosch. mur-ac natr-m. sulph.—Perhaps in some cases also, recourse may be had to: Chin, graph, lach. n-mos. mgs-aus.

T)JlOS 7)Zlls T'/lZIS MASTURBATION.—The principal medicine to obli- terate an inclination to this vice is : Sulph. administered in a single dose for several weeks, and then followed by calc.—In some particular cases, however, recourse may be also had to : Chin. cocc. mere, natr-m. phos. or perhaps again: Ant. carb-v. plat. puis. The bad effects of this most odious and unnatural pro- pensity require in most cases : Chin, n-vom. phos-ac. or staph, especially if these effects be speedily manifested in the form of acute diseases, or else if they be rather the result of early exhaustion from excess, than of long indulgence. But if these remedies be insufficient, or if the effects exhibit themselves in a 6low and chronic form, the most suitable medicines are : M-vom. sulph. calc. administered successively in single doses and at long intervals. Besides these medicines, recourse may be had also, in some cases to : Cocc. mere phos. or again to : Ant. carb-v. plat. puis.

[Also : Arg. bar-m. con. Ed.] PHIMOSIS, Paraphimosis and inflammation of the pre- puce.—If this inconvenience arise from a syphilitic cause, the principal medicine is mere or else : Mitr-ac. or thuy. [Also : Sab. Ed.] In other cases, recourse may be had to : Arnica, if the inflammation be produced by friction or any other mechanical cause. If, in this case, the inflam- mation be violent : Arn. should be preceded by a dose of acon ; and if arnica be afterwards insufficient, recourse must be had to : Rhus. If the complaint be caused by Unclfanliness : Acon. or mere will, in most cases, be found sufficiently efficacious. When it results from contact with Poisonous plants, the juice of which has been communicated by the hand to the parts: Acon. bell, or bry. If there be Suppuration : .Mere or caps, or hep. and if Induration remain after it: Lach. When Gangrene is to be dreaded : Ars. or lach. In Little children: Acon. or mere or else if these two medicines are insufficient: Calc. POLLUTIONS.—See Spermatorrhoea.

ACCOUCHEMENT—Lyinfin, Labour.—The best medicines to mitigate labour-pains, axe, in general: Cham. coff. n-vom. n-mos. op. puis. sec. ox again : Acon. bell. calc. For Fruitless pains, or Spasmodic pains, the most suit- ble medicines are : Coff. n-vom. ox again: Bell. cham. n- vom. puis. Coffea is especially suitable, if flie pains be so exces- sively violent as to drive to despair ; and if, in this case, coff. be insufficient, acon. will frequently be found of great benefit. Nux-vom. is indicated, if pains manifest themselves, without the labour actually taking place, and especially if these pains be accompanied by a continued desire to evacu- ate or urinate. If, in this case, n-vom. be insufficient, a preference should be given to : Cham, or hell, or else : M-mos. ox puis. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 525 For the absence of labour-pains, the best medicines are : Op. puis. sec. Opium is especially suitable, if in vig- orous and plethoric women, the pains have been suddenly suspended, either by a fright or any other injurious influ- ence, with cerebral congestion, redness and bloatedness of the face, and also a lethargic state. Pulsatilla, if in women of a good constitution, the pains exhibit themselves slowly, and especially if there be spasmodic pains, or else if the absence of pain arise from inactivity of the uterus rather than from general debility. Secale is indispensable if the absence of pain manifest itself in persons of a weak and cachectic constitution, or in women who are exhausted by excessive loss of blood, whether there are at the same time spasmodic pains, or any other sort of pain. But, however beneficial this medicine may be in this particular case, its efficacy is doubtful in most others : and may bring on the most grievous consequences if erroneously employed. If after expulsion of the foetus, the contractions prepara- tory to that of the placenta take place slowly, with adher- ence of the placenta, puis, and see administered with the precaution enforced above, are sufficient in most cases, to effect a safe and speedy termination of the labour.—If puis. though indicated, prove insufficient, or if there be exces- sive congestion in the head, with red face, sparkling eyes, great dryness of the skin and of the vagina, great anguish and inquietude, bell, is to be preferred. When the after-pains are too acute, or too long con- tinued, the best medicines are : Arn. cham. coff. or again : Calc. n-vom. puis. Furthermore, for the-Convulsions or spasms, which sometimes occur during the confinement: Hyos. ign. or again : Bell. cham. cic. will be found to be most suitable.

Belladonna, especially if the inflammation take place after confinement, with suppression of the lochia or adhe- rence of the placenta; or else if there be: Heaviness, drawing, and pressure in the hypogastrium, as if all would protrude through the genital organs, with burning shoot- ings, pain in the back as if it would break, and shooting pains in the coxo-femoral joint, which render contact and movement insupportable. Chamomilla, especially if the inflammation be caused by sharp contradiction, or the indulgence of passion after the confinement, with copious secretion of lochia, and dis- charge of black and clotted blood. When the abuse of chamomile has contributed to the aggravation of the dis- ease, the best medicines are : Acon. ign. n-vom.puis. Coffea, if the affection arise from the influence of ex- cessive and sudden joy, especially during the catamenia or confinement.

SECTION VI.--DISEASES OF CHILDREN, Principally of New-born Infants. CLINICAL REMARKS. ABDOMINAL OBSTRUCTION.—See Chap: I. Atro- phy of children. ACIDITY.—The best remedies against acid retching and diarrhoea are : Cham, rheum, or: Bella, calc. sulph. (Compare Diarrhoea.) SECT. VI. CLINICAL REMARKS, 561 APHTHiE.—The medicine which ought to be almost always employed in the first place is : Merc, and then, at the end of six or seven days: Sulph.—Bor. or sulph-ac. will also be often found suitable. ASPH1XIA.—The best medicine to employ in concert with mechanical means is tart. 1st. trit. gr. 1, dissolved in 8 oz. of water, and administered either in the form of a clyster, or by introducing some drops of this mixture into the mouth of the infant, every quarter of an hour. If at the end of half an hour no favourable change takes place in the infant, recourse must be had to op. if the face be bluish, and to chin, if it be pale- When the infant revives and respiration -commences, acon. may be administered if the face has been previously red or bluish ; or again : Chin, if it has been pale. ASTHMA.—Attacks of astl^aa in little children, with spasms, suffocation, and bluish face, mostly yield to ipec. and if they come on during sleep, with cries, dry, dull cough and anxiety, to samb. See also Chap. XXU. Thymic asthma and Asthma millari. Besides these two kinds of asthma, there is also another, characterized by hard and tight distention of the hypo- chondria and pit of the stomach, with shortness of breath, choking, anxiety, agitation and tossing, cries and retrac- tion of the thighs.—Cham, is the specific u)edicine»against this state. ATROPHY.—See Chap. I. COLIC of children."—The best medicines are in gen- eral : Bor. cham. cin. ipec. kal. jalap, n-mos. rheum, senn. or again : Acon. bell, calc caus. cic. coff. sil. staph. fry For the details, See Cries, Diarrhora and Worms. CONSTIPATION of new-born infants.—Bry. n-vom. op. are the most efficacious medicines, and may, in most cases, be administered immediately. If these medicines be insufficient, a selection may he made according to circumstances, and the symptoms ex- hibited by the nurse, among : Alum, lyc sulph. verat. CONVULSIONS.—See Spasms. CORYZA.—Little children are often affected by a kind of coryza, or rather a kind of Obstruction of the nose, which hinders respiration while they are suckino-.—The most eligible medicine is, in most cases : M-vom*. or else : Sulph. if n-vom. be insufficient. Recourse may be often had also to: Cham, if the ob- struction be accompanied by running of water from the nose ; or else by : Carb-v. if it be aggravated in the even- 562 CHAP. XX. AFFECTIONS OF CHILDREN. ing, or again by dulc if the aggravation take place in the open air. CRYING, of new-born infants.—If children cry con- tinually without any apparent cause, bell, is frequently indi- cated, or else: Cham.—If the cryingbe caused by soreness of the head or ears, cham. must be employed in the first place, and bell, if that medicine be insufficient. If the infant suffer from colic, and bend itself double when crying, with retraction of the thighs, the best medi- cine is cham. if the infant's face be red, or bell, if it be pale. If there be, at the same.time, loose evacuations of a sour smell, with tenesmus, rheum, is preferable. If none of these medicines be sufficient, recourse may be had to : Bor. jalap, ipec. senn. When the infant or the nurse has been already subject- ed to an abuse of cham^pile, bor. ign. puis, may be ad- ministered. When the infants are very restless, with sleeplessness and feverish heat, coff. or acon. is to be preferred. CROUP.—See Chap. XXI. CRUSTA LACTEA.—See Chap. X. DENTITION.—The best medicines against the suffer- ings that are caused by dentition are in general : Acon. bell. bor. calc. cham. coff. ign. mere, sulph. or again: Ars. chin. fer. magn. magn-m. n-vom. stann. . Sleeplessness requires principally: Coff. or again: Acon. bor. cham. Febrile affections : Acon. cham. coff. n-vom. or else again : Bell. bor. sil. Agitation and nervous Excitability : Coff. or else : Acon. bell. bor. cham. Constipation : Bry. magn-m. n-vom. Diarrhoea : Merc, sulph. or again: Ars. calc. cham. coff. fer. ipec. magn. Dry and spasmodic cough : Cham. cin. n-vom. Spasms or Convulsions : Bell. cham. cin. ign. or again : Calc. stann. sulph. If the teeth be excessively slow in cutting, through the gums, the work of nature will be mostly facilitated and ex- pedited by sulph. or calc. f£r* See also, for the above-mentioned affections, the corresponding articles in this chapter. DIARRHOEA.—Diarrhoea in children caused by Acidi- ty in the digestive organs with colic, and often with cries, requires in preference rheum, especially if there be tenes- mus, at the same time, or if notwithstanding the greatest cleanliness, the infant has a sour smell. SECT. VI. CLINICAL REMARKS. 563 If in this case, rheum, be insufficient while the colic is violent and the face be red, cham. will be more eligible, or else bell, if the infant's face be pale. If, on the contrary, there be little pain, but great weak- ness, with distention of the abdomen, and especially if bell. cham. rheum, have proved insufficient, sulph. wiliI be fre- quently found very beneficial. Diarrhoea which manifests itself in children during the Heat of summer, yields, in most cases, to a few doses of ipec. or else to n-vom. if ipec. be insufficient. • If, notwithstanding this treatment, the diarrhoea return whenever the weather is a little Warm, recourse maybe had to : Bry. or to : Carb-v. if bryon. he not quite suffi- cient. If,_ on the contrary, the diarrhoea be renewed every time that the weather Becomes cool, dulc will be the best med- icine, or else : Ant. if the tongue be covered with a white coating. Ars. will also be frequently found very beneficial, espe- cially when the infant is much emaciated, and becomes very weak, pale, and languid. Besides these medicines : Fer. hep. ipec. jalap, magn. mere n-vom. sulph-ac—See also the articles : Acidity Atrcw ph;;VtDentition, Gastrosis, Worms, &c. and Compare Chap. av 11. Diarrhoea and Dysentery. ECLAMPSIA.—See Spasms. EXCORIATION in infants.—The best medicine to em- ploy in the first place is cham. provided, however, the infant or nurse has not been previously subjected to an abuse of chamomile ptisan. In this latter case, bor. ign. or puis. must be preferred.

SLEEPLESSNESS of new-born infants.—If the nurse has not usually indulged in an abuse of coffee, coff. will often be sufficient; in the contrary case, or if coff. be not sufficient, op. will frequently be very useful, especially if the child has a red face. If the infant be tormented by colic, with cries, a prefer- ence must be given to : Cham, or else to : jalap, ox rheum. If there be, at the same time, great agitation with fe- verish heat, and if coff. be insufficient, acon. may be often administered with great success. If sleeplessness manifest itself after Weaning, or if the child cry for whole hours and days, without closing the eyes and without any perceptible cause, bell, is the best medicine.

Aconitum is especially indicated in the inflammatory period, and ought to be continued as long as there are : Great excitement of the nervous and sanguineous symp- toms, burning heat with thirst, short, dry cough, short and quick respiration, but not loud, wheezing, nor resembling the sound of a saw. Spongia is indicated, on the contrary, if the symptoms above mentioned have yielded to the action of acon. and if there remain only the characteristic symptoms of violent croup, or else if the disease presents itself from the first under this form, with hoarse, hollow ringing, and squeaking cough, or dry cough producing little mucus, which is detached with difficulty, slow, noisy, wheezing re- spiration, which resembles the sound of a saw, or else a fit of choking, with inability to breathe except when holding back the head. Hepar is preferable, if, from the action of spong., the cough has become more easy and the difficulty of respira- tion seems to arise only from an accumulation of mucus in the respiratory organs; or else, if from the commence- ment, the symptoms of croup are accompanied by a rattling of mucus, if the cough be moist, with the respiration slightly obstructed, and little irritation of the nervous and sangui- neous systems.

HOOPING COUGH.—The medicines which have hith- erto been employed with most success against this com- plaint are in general: Acon. arn. bell, carb-v. con. cupr. dulc. hep. ipec. mere n-vom. puis, verat. And also : Bry. cham. con. iod. lact. led. sep. sulph. tart. And perhaps, in some cases, recourse may be also had to : Anac. ars. fer. lach. nitr-ac. samb. In the First stage of hooping cough, the Irritative pe- riod, the medicines which most frequently succeed in ar- resting the progress of this complaint at its commence- ment are : Acon. carb-v. dulc. ipec. n-vom. puis. Aconitum is especially indicated, if, at the commence- ment, the cough be dry and sibilant, with fever, or if the child complains of burning pains in the larynx or bronchia. Carbo-veg, if notwithstanding the use of the medicines cited above (Acon. dulc. ipec. n-vom.puis.) the cough threat- ens to proceed to the second stage, or else if it manifests itself from the first as a convulsive-cough, appearing espe- cially in the evening, or before midnight, with redness of the pharynx, sore throat when swallowing, lachrymation, or shootings in the head, pains in the chest and throat, or else if there be an eruption on the head or body. -Dulcamara, if, from the first, the cough be loose, with easy expectoration and hoarseness, and especially if it manifests itself in consequence of a chill. Ipecacuanha, if, from the commencement, the cough be accompanied by great anguish, with danger of suffocation 580 chap. xxi. larynx and bronchia. and bluish face ; especially if n-vom. has proved insufficient against that state. Nux-vom. if the cough be dry, and manifests itself es- pecially from midnight until morning, with vomiting, an- guish, choking fit, and bluish face, bleeding at the nose and mouth. Pulsatilla, if, from the commencement, there be a loose cough with vomiting of mucus or food, or else slimy diarrhoea. In the Second stage of the hooping cough, the Convul- sive period, with vomiting and bleeding at the nose and mouth, the best medicines are : Cin. cupr. dros. verat. or again : Bell, mere Cina is especially indicated if the child suddenly be- comes stiff during the paroxysm, and if, after the parox- ysm, a clucking noise be heard, descending from the gul- let into the abdomen. This medicine is also almost a spe- cific in children who have vermiculous symptoms, such as frequent gripings, itching in the anus, and desire to rub the nose frequently, or to poke the fingers into it. In this case mere will also be found very beneficial. Cuprum, if, during the paroxysms, there be rigidity of the body, with suspended respiration and loss of conscious- ness ; vomiting after the paroxysms, and rattling of mucus in the chest when not coughing. (Verat. will be often found suitable after cupr.) Drosera, if besides the symptoms peculiar to this stage, the paroxysms be excessively violent, if the sibilant sound of the cough be very decided ; if there be no fever, or if, on the contrary, the fever be strongly developed, with shuddering and heat, thirst only after the shivering, per- spiration rather hot than cold, or only at night; aggrava- tion of this state during repose; amelioration from move- 1PH8QX. This medicine is besides, always preferable, if the hooping-cough be entirely developed, with vomiting of food or slimy matter, and bleeding at the nose and mouth. (Verat. is sometimes suitable after dros.) Veratrum, frequently if dros. be not quite sufficient against the affections of the convulsive stage, or else be- fore this medicine, especially if the child be very weak, with a kind of slow fever, cold perspiration, especially on the forehead ; small, quick and weak pulse ; great thirst or else if, during the paroxysms, there be emission of urine, or pain in the chest and inguina; drowsiness between the paroxysms, with repugnance to movement and conversa- tion ; weakness of the nape of the neck, to such an extent SECT. I. clinical remarks. 581 as to be unable to hold up the head ; miliary eruption over the whole body, or only on the hands and face. The convulsive form of hooping cough, of which we have been just speaking, is not, however, always entirely developed, and it is often found, when this disease prevails as an epidemic, that children are affected by a spasmodlt cough, which has not all the characteristics of hooping cough, or rather, the disease itself (according to essentials) assumes a form more or less different from the ordinary one.—The medicines, which, in that case, are most fre- quently indicated are : Bell. bry. iod. mere sulph. tart. Belladonna is especially indicated, if there be very de- cided cerebral affections, or if the cough announces itself by a painful sensation in the region of the stomach, with bleeding at the nose and mouth, or else with sugillation in the eye ; or if there be other spasmodic affections, such as eclampsia, convulsive asthma, &e—Also when the par- oxysms terminate in sneezing. Bryonia, if the paroxysms of suffocating cough take place, especially in the evening, or at night, and also inva- riably after eating or drinking, with want of breath, chok- ing and vomiting of ingesta. Iodium, if the cough be excited by an insupportable tickling in the bronchia, with undulating respiration during the paroxysms, excessive anguish before the fits, great fa- tigueand emaciation. Lactuca, if the cough be violent, with vomiting after every fit of coughing, without any other symptom charac- teristic of hooping cough. Meucurius, if the cough comes on only at night, or else only by day, and if it manifests itself in two paroxysms which occur soon after one another, and which are sepa- rated from the two following paroxysms by longer intervals : or in the true hooping cough, if the child bleeds profusely at the nose and mouth, when vomiting, with profuse perspii ration at night, and great nervous susceptibility ; especially in children subject to vermiculous affections or to convul- sions. (Carb-v. is often suitable in this last case after mere.) Sulphur, if the paroxysms of coughing be accompanied by vomiting, and will yield to none of the other medicines cited. Tartarus, especially if the fits of vomiturition are ac- companied by diarrhoea, with great debility and failure of vital force, or if the children vomit up their supper soon after midnight. 49* 582 CHAP. XXI. LARYNX AND BRONCHIA. When the convulsive period of the hooping cough be passed, and the complaint be on the decline, the medicines that are most frequently indicated against the catarrhal cough which remains, are : Arn. carb-v. dulc. hep.puis. Arnica is especially indicated if the child cries much rfter coughing, or if the paroxysms are announced or ex- cited by cries and tears. Carbo-veg. if the catarrhal cough frequently relapses into a convulsive cough, or if, notwithstanding the cessation of the other symptoms of real hooping cough, the vomit- ings continue. Dulcamara, if the catarrhal cough is accompanied by expectoration of much mucus. Hepar, if the cough is considerably abated, but hollow, dry and hoarse, with vomiturition after the paroxysms, and frequent tears. Pulsatilla, if there be : Loose cough, with easy expec- toration of serous mucus. As we have divided hooping cough into its differ- ent stages, and indicated the medicines most suitable to each, we must now guard against an error, which might be committed if it were supposed that none of the medicines cited can ever be adapted to any other period than the one to which it is here attached. All these medicines having, in their pathqgenesis, many more symptoms than we have recapitulated in this place, and the same disease being ca- pable of exhibiting so many shades of difference, according to the constitution of the individual who is attacked by it; it is possible that a medicine which we have cited only againt the precursors of hooping cough, or else against a cough which resembles it, may frequently be found suitable against the true hooping cough. We have asserted seve- ral times, and we cannot repeat it too often, that the choice of a medicine must never be decided by the Name of the disease, but by the totality of the symptoms.—Compare also : Bron- chitis, Croup, Laryngitis, Cough, &c. and the Symptoms, Sect. 2, 3, 4, 5, and the pathogenesis of the medicines cited.

In more serious cases, and in imminent danger : Acon. chin. ipec. op. will be found most efficacious. Against the affections which remain after pulmonary haemorrhage, the most suitable medicines are : Carb-v. chin. or else: Ars. coff. ign. sulph. To prevent a relapse, recourse must be had to : Ars. n-vom. sulph. administered alternately in single doses, and at long intervals. In general, recourse may be had to : Aconitum, when there is before the haemorrhage : agi- tation of blood in the chest, with sensation of fulness and burning pain; palpitation of the heart, anguish and agita- tion, which are aggravated when lying down ; paleness of the face, with features expressive of anguish ; profuse ex- pectoration of blood at intervals, excited not by a violent, but by a very slight cough. (Ars. or ipec. is sometimes suitable after acon.) Arnica, if the pulmonary haemorrhage be caused by a mechanical injury, a fall, a blow, on the chest or back, &e or if there be : Easy expectoration of black and coagulated blood, with dyspnoea, shootings, burning and contraction in the chest, palpitation of the heart, violent heat over the whole body, and syncope;—or else : Expectoration of a clear, frothy blood, mixed with clots and lumps of mucus, with cough and tussiculation ; tickling under the sternum ; shootings in the head when coughing, and pain in all the limbs, as if they had been beaten. (In cases of traumatic haemorrhage, it will be often advisable that arn. should be preceded by a dose of acon. .ox else that it should be administered alternately with that medicine, according to the circumstances). Arsenicum, frequently in cases in which acon. appears to be indicated, without, however, being sufficient, and es- pecially if there be : Great anguish, with palpitation of the heart, sleeplessness, dry, burning heat, and an obligation to leave the bed ;—or else, after the action of Chin. arn. fer. in cases of violent hamnorrhage;—or again, after hyo$, SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 609 in haemoptysis of drunkards. (Ipec n-vom. or sulph. is sometimes suitable after arsen. especially in chronic hae- moptysis.) Belladonna, if there be : Continued tickling in the throat, with want to cough, and aggravation of the haemor- rhage from the cough ; sensation as if the chest were filled with blood, with pressive or shooting pains, aggravated by movement. Carbo veg. if there he : Violent burning pain in the chest, which continues, after the haemorrhage, especially in persons who are susceptible to every change of weath- er, or who have been subjected to abuse of mercury. China, if the expectoration of blood takes place in con- sequence of a violent cough, which was at first hollow, dry and painful, with taste of blood in the mouth ; especially if there be, at the same time, shivering alternately with flushes of heat ; great weakness, with continued desire to remain lying down, transient perspiration, trembling, clou- diness of sight or bewilderment of the head ;—or else, if the patient have lost much blood already, and have become pale and cold, with fainting fits, and convulsive twitehings of the hands and muscles of the face. (Fer. or arn. or else, ars. is often suitable, especially in this last case, after chin.) Dulcamara, if there be: Continued tickling in the larynx, with want to cough ; expectoration of bright red blood, with aggravation during repose ; especially if the haemor- rhage be caused by taking cold, or if a loose cough have ex- isted for a long time. Ferrum, if the expectoration take place from a slight tussiculation, while the blood is scanty, bright red and per- fectly pure, with pain between the ehoulder-blades, dysp- noea, especially at night, inability to remain seated, amelio- ration from movement, but, however, with frequent desire to lie down, and great fatigue, especially after talking. (It is particularly suitable in lean persons, with a yellowish complexion, and when the sleep is disturbed at night; or else after chin, in severe eases.) Hyoscyamus, if the expectoration of blood be preceded by a dry cough, which manifests itself especially at night, and does not permit one to remain lying down ; with fre- quent waking with a start; or else in drunkards, espe- cially if op. or n-vom. be insufficient in this case.

(In this last case, sulph. will often be suitable after n-vom. In drunkards, on the contrary, the proper medicine will be hyos. or ars.) Opium, often in the most important cases, especially in persons addicted to spirituous liquors, or if there be : Ex- pectoration of thick and frothy blood ; aggravation of the cough after swallowing; choking or dyspnoea and anguish, burning in the heart, trembling of the arms, and sometimes also weakness of the voice ; sleepiness and anxious starts ; coldness, especially of the extremities, or heat, especially in the chest and trunk. (M-vom. is often suitable after Pulsatilla, especially in obstinate cases, with expecto- ration of black and coagulated blood ; anxiety and shiver- ing, especially in the evening, or at night; sensation of great weakness, pain in the lower part of the chest; sen- sation of insipidity or softness in the stomach, especially in timid and phlegmatic persons, who are disposed to shed tears; or else, if the haemorrhage manifest itself in conse- quence of suppression of the catamenia. (In this last case, cocc. will be also sometimes found very beneficial.) Rhus, if the blood be bright red, with aggravation of the haemorrhage from every contradiction or the least moral emotion; irascibility, restlessness, timidity; decided tick- ling or crawling in the chest.

Ed.] (Compare also pituitous Asth- ma.) As to the particular indications by which the choice of the medicines is to be regulated, a preference may be given to: Aconitum, often at the commencement of the treat- ment of incipient phthisis, and especially if there be fre- quent congestion to the chest, with short cough, haemop- tysis, and disposition to pulmonary inflammation. Ammonium, if the expectoration be slimy and sanguino- lent, and if there be excessive oppression afthe chest, with shortness of breath. Belladonna, especially in scrophulous children, with nocturnal cough, short breath and rattling of mucus ; or in young girls at the critical age. (Hep. lach. phos. or sil. is often suitable aft«r bell.) Calcarea is one of the principal medicines in the stage of purulent expectoration, especially after the action of sulph. ox of nitr-ac. ox else in the first stage, especially in young plethoric persons, subject to sanguineous congestion, to bleeding at the nose, &e and also in young girls who have the catamenia too profusely and too frequently.' (Lyc. or sil. or nitr-ac is sometimes suitable after calc.) Carbo-veg.especially if the cough be violent, spasmodic, at one time dry and painful, at another with expectoration of puriform mucus, mixed, or not, with tubercular matter. China, especially if the patient have had frequent attacks of pulmonary haemorrhage, or if there be debility from san- guineous evacuations. (In this case, fer. is often suitable after chin.) Dulcamara, especially if there be a strong tendency to take cold, or if frequent colds have contributed to develop the complaint in too rapid a manner. Ferrum, often if the complaint have exhibited itself in consequence of pneumonia or neglected catarrh, and es- pecially if there be, besides the phthisical symptoms, dys- pnoea, with vomiting of food, or lienteria. (In this latter case, chin, will be often also of great benefit.) Hepar, especially in children and scrophulous young people, in the first stage of the disease, frequently after bell, or alternately with mere or s*7. Kali carb. a medicine no less important than calc. against both incipient phthisis and confirmed phthisis, espe- cially after the action of nitr-ac. or sil. SECT. I. CLINICAL remarks. 613 Lachesis, especially after : Bell. hep. sil. or alternately with these medicines. : Lycopodium, is one of the most powerful medicines, if in consequence of violent or neglected pneumonia, there ap- pear a hectic cough, with purulent expectoration ; or else against the symptoms of tubercular phthisis, with haemop- tysis. (It is often suitable after Calc sil. phos. or alter- nately with these medicines.) Nitri acidum, especially at the commencement of the complaint, before kal. has been administered, and princi- pally in dark persons, who have a slight tinge of yellow in their complexion, and frequent relaxation of the abdomen. Phosphorus is a medicine no less important than Calc. kal. sil. both against incipient phthisis and confirmed phthi- sis, especially in meager and fair persons of tall stature and strongly disposed to coition, and also in children, and especially in young girls of a delicate constitution, with dry, short cough, short breath, decided emaciation, dispo- sition to diarrhoea £r perspiration, &c (It is particularly suitable after bell, or alternately with lyc. sil.) Sambucus, especially if the disease be accompanied by profuse, colliquative perspiration. Silicea, under almost the same conditions as phos. and in most cases of incipient or confirmed phthisis, especially after: Lyc. phos. hep. or calc. Stannum is by no means suitable when the expectora- tion is evidently purulent; but if, in the first stage of phthi- sis, there be a profuse expectoration of mucus, or if ne- glected catarrhs threaten to turn to phthisis, this medicine should be administered in the first place. Sulphur, not only in many cases of purulent phthisis, brought on by violent pneumonia, but often also against tubercular phthisis, during the period of purulent expecto- ration, snd also against the symptoms of incipient phthisis provided that, in this latter case, only one dose is adminis- tered for several weeks. N. B.—The attention of practitioners ought to be most carefully directed to the mode of administering the medi- cines in cases of incipient phthisis. The surest means of avoiding the bad consequences that may result from too large a dose, is to administer invariably no more than a single dose for several days, or even for several iveeks. For the same dose of one globule, which when taken at once, whether dry or in a spoonful of liquid, may frequently ex- ercise and exhibit only an ordinary effect, acquires from the mere circumstance of repetition, an action infinitely more Vol. II. 52 614 CHAP. XXII. CHEST and heart. strong and decided, when it is diluted in water, and one spoonful is taken every day. PLEURISY.—The principal medicine against this com- plaint is acon. and inmost cases, this remedy alone will be sufficient to accomplish a complete cure, especially if some globules (18th, 24th, 30th,) are dissolved in eight ounces of water, and a spoonful of this dilution be taken every three hours, until there be an evident diminution of the fe- brile symptoms, especially of the thirst and heat, and until the cough becomes a little moist. If, after the diminution of the febrile symptoms, there still remain sharp pains in the side, and if the cure make no progress, bry. should be administered in a dose of three globules (12th or 30th) in a spoonful of coffee (cafe d'eau), and this dose should be allowed to act, unless a new aggra- vation require a new dose at the end of 36, 48, or 72 hours. Lastly, when the pain has entirely disappeared under the influence of bry. if the side still continue sensitive to the impression of the air and to movement, though the pa- tient may have resumed his usual occupations, sulph, will, in most cases, remove the last traces of the complaint. In some more complicated cases, in which : Acon. bry. and sulph. are insufficient, recourse may be had to : Chin. kal. lach. n-vom.squill, and perhaps also: Arn. gran.? \ry See also Pneumonia and Pleurodynia. PLEURODYNIA.—The principal medicine against this rheumatic affection is arn. and in the majority of eases, it will be sufficient to administer a single dose in order to ob- tain a complete cure. If, however, cases should occur in which arn. proves insufficient, bry. n-vom. ox puis, should be then preferred.— And perhaps, sabad. also may be sometimes of great ser- vice. \ry See, moreover, also Rheumatism, Chap.

In the first Stage of pneumonia, that of Splenization, the principal medicine is acon. which must be administered as directed in the article Pleurisy, until the feverish symp- toms, and especially the thirst and heat are perceptibly di- minished. When the fever has abated under the influence of acon. SECT. I. CLINICAL REMARKS. 615 the best medicine to employ is bry. and in most cases, this medicine may be also administered in a solution of water, by continuing to give it till the respiration becomes more free, and the expectoration more healthy. Lastly, if, after the patient has recovered under the in- fluence of bry. so far as to be able to attend to his usual occupations, there still remains dulness on percussion, with oppression and cough, the most eligible medicines are: Phos. sulph. or again: Chin. lach. lyc. sil. In cases in which the nneumonia has already reached the Second stage, the red Hepatization, before* it was possible to enter on a course of treatment, acon. and bry. will often be of great service; but the principal medicine at this period is sulph. administered in a dose of from 3 to 6 globules (alcoholic tincture), dissolved in eight ounces of water, and of this solution a spoonful is to be taken every three hours. At this period : Lach. lyc.phos. will be often found very beneficial; and in .several cases, it will be advisable, after the action of sulph. to have recourse to one or other of these medicines, administered in one dose of 3 or 4 globules in a spoonful of coffee (cafe d'eau), and allowed to exhaust its action without being repeated. For the pneumonia which is called Adynamic (Pneumo- nia notha), such as sometimes occurs in aged persons, with a tendency to degenerate to paralysis of the lungs, the medicine that ought to be first amployed is acon. but as soon as a new aggravation follows the administration of this medicine, recourse must be had to mere If mere does good, without however being sufficient, bdl. will frequently be the most suitable medicine, if there remain spasmodic constriction in the chest, with dry tus- siculation ; or else cham. if the respiration continue to be wheezing. M-vom. is often suitable after cham. In cases in which mere produces no change, the most suitable medicine is ipec. especially if the respiration be anxious and rapid ; or else verat. if the extremities become cold, with constriction of the chest and great anguish; or again, ars. if the patient becomes weaker every day, with paroxysms of suffocation. For Typhoid pneumonia, the medicine to be employed in the first place, is op. after which, arn. is sometimes suit- able. If, after the use of these two medicines, there be still no change, verat. (from 2 to 3 doses) will be often of great utility, or else ars. especially if the weakness and rattling increase. 616 CHAP. XXII. CHEST AND HEART. Benefit will often be also derived from : Bry. una rhus. or else : Ipec. and ars. or veratr. and ars. administered al- ternately. If the amelioration take place without being perma- nent, sulph. may be then beneficially administered, after which it will be proper to return to whichever of the med- icines has previously proved most efficacious. If there be Decubitus, or excoriation from constantly lying down, and if the wounds become gangrened, chin, or ars. should be employed. If cloudiness of sight manifests itself, a preference must be given to : Bell, and if the strength diminishes daily, natr-m. will sometimes be beneficial. Lastly, with respect to the Sequele of pneumonia, if symptoms of incipient phthisis show themselves, or if the pneumonia threaten to become chronic," especially when there is reason to suspect the existence of tubercles., the best medicines are : Sulph. or else : Am-c lach. lye phos. or again : Ars. calc. hep. kal. nitr.? nitr-ac. stann. sulph-ac. [Also : Aur. ol-jee Ed.] If there be purulent expectoration in consequence of pneumonia: Chin. fer. hep. lach. lyc. mere, sulph. or else: Dros. dulc. laur. led. puis, or else again : Bell.? hyos.? phos-ac? Besides the medicines that have been just cited against the different kinds of pneumonia, a preference may some- times be given to: Arnica, if the pneumonia be the consequence of a me- chanical injury. Arsenicum, if offensive expectoration of a dirty colour excites apprehension of gangrene in the lungs, and if chin. ox lach. be insufficient against that state. Cannabis, if the pneumonia be complicated with dis- eases of the heart and large blood-vessels, or if there be, besides the symptoms of pneumonia, greenish vomiting and delirium. Capsicum, if there be bronchitis at the same time, espe- cially in phlegmatic, dull persons, of a susceptible character. China, if the patient have previously lost much blood, either by sanguinolent evacuations, or by violent pulmo- nary haemorrhage; or if there be bilious symptoms, or else precursors of gangrene in the lungs. Mercurius is one of the principal medicines if the pneu- monia be complicated with bronchitis, especially in per- sons "disposed to mucous discharges, or if there be profuse expectoration of viscous and sanguinolent mucus. Nux-vom. if there be at the same time bronchial ca- SECT. II. RESPIRATION. 617 tarrh, if the pneumonia manifests itself in drunkards, or in persons subject to haemorrhoids. Phosphorus, frequently after n-vom. in cases in which the pneumonia be accompanied by bronchial catarrh, with dry cough, or else in pneumonia which manifests itself during the progress of tubercular phthisis. (In this latter case, kal. and lyc. will often also be very useful.) Pulsatilla, if the pneumonia show itself during the progress of morbilli, or in consequence of obstinate bron- chial catarrh, or else again from suppressed catamenia. Squilla, if the pneumonia be accompanied by gastric symptoms, or if it have been treated by sanguineous evacu- ations, and if, in this latter case, chin, have not been suffi- cient ; or else if there be, from the commencement a pro- fuse expectoration of mucus.

AFFECTIONS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES. SECTION I.--CLINICAL REMARKS. CALLOSITIES and Corns on the feet.—Against callo- sities on the feet, which are caused only by a tight boot or shoe, it is frequently sufficient to cut them out first, and then to apply the tincture of arnica externally. In other cases, ant. taken internally has been found beneficial.—See also Sect. 2, Corns. CHILBLAINS. See Chap. II. same word. COXALGIA.—The most eligible medicines are, in gen- eral : Bell. bry. calc. coloc. hep. mere puis. rhus. sulph. or else a^ain : Arg. ars. asa. aur. canth. cham. dig. graph, kreos. lach. n-vom. sep. staph.

ERYSIPELAS of the feet.---The best medicines against inflammatory erysipelatous swelling of the instep* are : Arn. bry. puis. rhus. GONITIS, or inflammation of the knee.—Lymphatic or scrophulous enlargement of the knee requires in preference: Calc and sulph. or again : Arn. ars. iod. lyc. sil. [Also : Fer. Ed.] For Arthritic inflammation, the principal medicines are : Arn. bry. chin. cocc. lyc. n-vom. sulph. If there be Suppuration, a preference may be given to : Merc. sil. or again : Bell. hep. sulph. + If there be Serous infiltration (hydarthra) : Sulph. or again : Calc. iod. mere sil. [Also: Con. dig. Ed.] GOUT in the feet.—The most eligible medicines are : Arn. ars. bry. calc. sabin. sulph.—And sometimes also, per- haps: Ambr. am-e am-m. cocc. led. may be found to be in- dicated.—See also, Chap. I. Arthritis. LAMENESS (Spontaneous).—At the commencement of the complaint, Merc, is frequently the most suitable me- dicine, or else Bella, or these two medicines may be ad- ministered alternately. If these fail, a preference may be given to Rhus, or to : Calc. coloc lyc. puis, sulph. zinc \ry See also Coxalgia and Coxarthrocace. OEDEMA of the feet.—If this affection occurs without any other perceptible injury in the rest of the organism, the most suitable medicines are : Ars. chin. fer. kal. lyc. mere phos. puis. rhus. sulph. If it manifest itself after considerable loss of blood, the best medicine is chin, or else ars. ox fer. After Abuse of cinchona, principally Fer. or ars. or also : Puis, sulph.

PODAGRA.—See Gout in the feet. PSOITIS.—See Chap. XXIII. SCIATICA.—See Chap. XXIII.

SECT. II. SYMPTOMS. 665 VARICES.—See Chap. II. WHITE SWELLING.—As authors are by no means agreed respecting the precise meaning of the expression white swelling, we think it advisable to state that it is here employed to designate painful leucophlegmasia, or lympha- tic enlargement of the thighs (or of the knees only).—The most eligible medicines against this affection are: Arn. bell. rhus. or again: Acon. ars. calc. iod. lyc. mere n-vom. puis. sil. sulph.

In all cases of poisoning, two objects ought to be espe- cially pursued, namely: 1.—To.eradicate from the system that substance, the ingestion of, or contact with which has produced the in- jury, or to neutralize immediately the pathogenetic action. 2.—To remedy the consecutive effects of the poison, or to cure the morbid affections which it engendered by its admission into the system. NOTE. 687 With respect to the latter of these objects, the removal of the consecutive affections may be always accomplished by homoeopathic agency. In several cases of slight or slow poisoning, from weak doses of a very powerful substance, homoeopathic medicines will frequently succeed better than any other means, both in repelling the sequelae and in neutralizing the pathogenetic action of the deleterious drug. But in cases in which the injury is occasioned by strong doses, which must be ejected from the system as speedily as possible, or paralyzed in their effects, it will be necessary to have recourse to suitable means for the attainment of this essential end. This necessity for resorting in this case to other means besides homoeopathic remedies, is not to be regarded as a proof of the insufficiency of this science for the cure of dis- eases, since in the cases cited, none of these means are employed for the treatment of the disease itself, but mere- ly to remove the occasional cause ; in the same way, for instance, that a foreign body is extracted from the eye be- fore the treatment is directed against the inflammation which that body has produced. The homoeopathic practi- tioner should never lose sight of this truth, and while he neglects nothing which the circumstances may require, he must carefrTlly select the simplest means, and those that are least likely to interfere with the homoeopathic treatment by which they are to be succeeded. Taking advantage of the admirable observations of Dr. Hering, of Philadelphia, on the treatment of injuries ari- sing from poisons, we present, in the first section of this chapter, a cursory view of the most infallible antidotes in the case of powerful poisons ; and in the second section, we setforth the particular treatment required in various cases, according to the different substances by which the mis- chief may have been occasioned. We have also intro- duced medicinal maladies among these cases, a proceeding which need, in our opinion, excite no surprise, as these diseases are in their effects, perfectly similar to the other cases that arise from the operation of slow poisons, 688 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS. SECTION I.--CURSORY SKETCH OF THE ANTIDOTES Which are most indispensable against the injurious Effects produced by powerful Poisons. ACID (CITRIC), and other acids. See Vinegar, ALMONDS, Oil of sweet almonds.—See Sect. 2, Acids. COFFEE.—Strong black coffee, the grains of which have been very slightly roasted, and which should be taken as hot as possible, is one of the most powerful remedies against a great number of poisons. It is, at all times, par- ticularly suitable, if there be : Drowsiness, intoxication and loss of consciousness, or dementia, delirium, Sec in a word, against narcotic substances, such as opium, nux-vomica, stra- monium, narcotic mushrooms, sumach venenosa, bitter al- monds, hydrocyanic acid, and all substances which contain belladonna, colocynth, valerian, hemlock, and chamomile. In cases of poisoning by antimony, phosphorus, and phosphoric acid, coffee is equally effectual. CAMPHOR.—Camphor is the principal remedy in all cases of poisoning by vegetable substances, especially those whose action is corrosive, and also whenever the patient ex- hibits vomiting, vjith diarrhaa, pale face, coldness in the ex- tremities, and loss of consciousness. In accidents arising from venomous insects, especially cantharides, camphor is almost a specific, whether the in- sects have been swallowed, or have introduced their venom through the pores of the skin. Against injuries caused by vermifuges, such as tobacco, bitter almonds, and others which contain hydrocyanic acid, camphor is no less efficacious. It is equally beneficial against the consecutive affections which result from poisoning by acids, salts, metals, phospho- rus, mushrooms, Sec. and which remain after these sub- stances have been ejected by vomiting. (See Vomiting.) CHARCOAL.—See Sect. 2, Mushrooms. IRON.—See Sect. 2, Arsenic MAGNESIA.—See Sect. 2, Acids. MILK.—Milk possesses the same qualities as oil and all oleaginous substances ; it is suitable, as an antidote, far less frequently than is supposed, and mucilaginous sub- stances are always preferable to, it, when the object is to envelope the poison. Rich milk or cream is suitable, in general, in all cases SECT. I. ANTIDOTES. 689 in which oil is proper, and is injurious where oil would be hurtful. Clotted (sour) milk, on the contrary, is applica- ble or prejudicial in the same cases as vinegar. MUCILAGE.—Mucilaginous potions, or else clysters prepared from them, are preferable against alkaline sub- stances, especially when they are administered alternately with vinegar. NITRE (Spirit of).—See Sect. 2, Alkalies and Animal substances. OIL OF OLIVES.—This remedy is suitable in far few- er cases than is generally supposed. It is ordinarily use- less against metallic poisons, and when administered as an antidote to arsenic, it is even injurious. Against the bad effects produced by cantharides, oil is the most pernicious substance that can be employed. It is equally so against dead venomous insects, or if their venom is introduced into the eye. But when living insects have entered the ear, oil may be used to facilitate their extrac- tion. Oil is most suitable in case of accidents occasioned by corrosive acids, such as nitric, sulphuric, Sec acid. It may be often also administered alternately with vinegar against alkaline substances, and it will sometimes be no less ser- viceable against the bad effects of mushrooms. POTASS.—See Sect. 2, Acids. SALT (KITCHF.N-).—See Nitrate of silver (Mitras ar- genti, Lunar caustic), and Envenomed wounds. SOAP.—White household soap, dissolved in four times as much boiling water, and taken internally, is one of the best remedies in many cases of poisoning. A coffee-cup of this preparation may be administered every two, three, or four minutes, according to circumstances, and in all cases in which white of egg is indicated without being suffi- cient. Soap-water is suitable principally in cases of poisoning by metallic substances, and especially against arsenic, lead, Sec It is equally efficacious against corrosive acids, such as sulphuric acid, nitric-acid, Sec alum, plants with corrosive sap, castor oil (Oleum ricini), &c Soap-water is injurious in case of poisoning by alkaline substances, such as lixivium, lapis infernalis (Caustic po- tassa), potassa, soda, sub-carbonate of potass, oil of tartar, mu- riate of ammonia, sub-carbonate of ammonia, slack lime, or quick lime, baryta, Sec. SODA.—See Sect.- 2, Acids. STARCH.—See Sect. 2, Iodine. 58* 690 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS, SUGAR.—L'eau sucre (sugar and water), is one of the most efficacious remedies in most cases ; but when injury is sustained from mineral acids or alkaline substances it is more advisable to administer the direct antidotes first, al- though sugar can at no time be injurious. In case of poisoning by metallic substances, several sorts of colours, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, Sec sugar is preferable to. any other means, and it is only when the patient has been relieved by sugar, that white of egg, or soap-water can he administered alternately with it. Sugar is often also one of the most efficacious antidotes against the poisonous effects of arsenic and vegetables with corrosive juice. SULPHATE OF SODA.—See Sect. 2, Alkalies. TEA OF CHINA.—See Sect. 2, Sebacicacid and Honey. VINEGAR.—Vinegar is suitable especially against al- kaline substances; but it is injurious in cases of poisoning by mineral acids, vegetables with corrosive sap, arsenic, and a great number of salts. In many cases, it may be also successfully administered against the bad consequences that result from aconitum, opium, narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, stramo- nium, carbonic gas, hepar sulphuris, muscles, and venomous poisons, and also sebacic acid. Vinegar may be administered in the form of a potion, or else, if necessary, as a clyster, and may be used alter- nately with mucilaginous substances. It is important to observe that the vinegar which is employed must be made from wine or beer, and must be as pure as possible. The vinegar which is made from wood (pyroligneous acid) is itself a poison. VOMITIJNG.—The homoeopathic physician should by no means overlook the necessity which exists for ejecting, as speedily as possible, the poisonous substances, which by remaining in the stomach, may endanger or destroy life; but instead of employing for this purpose, the sub- stances called emetics in the old school, he must strive to accomplish his object by means which exercise no action on the system, except that of exciting the nerves of the stomach, &e so as to produce rapid vomiting. These means are: 1-—To administer tepid water in as large quantities and as often as possible. 2.—To tickle the throat with the end of a feather, or something similar; or else, if that fails: 3-—To place snuff ox mustard, mixed with salt, on the tongue ; or again, if none of these means succeed : SECT. II. TREATMENT. 691 4.—To administer injections of tobacco smoke, introduc- ing the smoke into the anus, by means of a tobacco-pipe. WHITE OF EGG.—White of egg, dissolved in a suit- able quantity of water, and taken in the form of a potion, is one of the most efficacious remedies against poisoning by metallic substances, and principally against corrosive sublimate, mercury, verdigris, tin, lead, sulphuric acid, espe- cially if the patient experiences violent pains in the sto- mach or abdomen, with urgent and violent desire to evac- uate, or diarrhoea, with pain in the anus. SECTION II.--POISONS And Medicinal Maladies. N. B. In all aggravated cases of poisoning, the first care of the physician must be to provoke Vomiting, (See this word, Sect. 1,) and afterwards to remedy the most alarming effects by means of suitable antidotes. In cases in which the poison has been unconsciously imbibed, recourse must be had to white of egg, if there be violent pains ; or to coffee if there are narcotic effects. In cases in which it is known that poison has been taken, though the precise substance cannot be ascertained ; if the poison be a metal, an acid, or an alkali, Sec. See in this section: Acids, Alkalies, Metals, &c ACID (HYDROCYANIC).—The best antidote is, liquid ammonia, which should be inspired as soon as possible, but only at a distance, or else one drop should be dissolved in 12 oz. of water, and a tea-spoonful of this mixture should be taken every five minutes. Then, as soon as it can be prepared, black coffee should be administered in large quan- tities, both as a potion and as a clyster. The vapour of vinegar or camphor will be often also very beneficial. When the first alarming symptoms have disappeared: Coff. or ipec or else n-vom. may be employed against the remaining effects. ACIDS (MINERAL AND CORROSIVE).—The best antidotes in serious cases are:—1. Soap water in large quantities ;—2. Magnesia, a desert spoonful dissolved in a cup of water, and taken every time that the vomiting or pain is renewed;—3. Chalk, dissolved in water;—4. Po- 692 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS. tass or soda (du commerce), in a dose of from 10 to 15 cen- tigrammes dissolved in from 12 to 16 oz. of water. When the patient has vomited sufficiently, mucilagin- ous drinks may be administered alternately with coff. or op. For the affections which remain after the first alarming symptoms have disappeared, puis, may be administered if the poisoning be the result of sulphuric acid ;—bry. if it is caused by muriatic acid ;—hep. if by nitric acid;—coff. if by phosphoric acid ;—acon. against other acids, and espe- cially vinegar (from wood). When corrosive acids have entered the eye, the best remedy is oil of sweet almonds, or fresh butter, without any mixture of salt. Whenever a burn is inflicted on the skin by acids, soap-water applied externally is the best of all remedies, or a solution of caus. with water (tine fort.), which is also to be used externally. ACID (Nitric).—See Mineral acids. ACID (Phosphoric).—See Mineral acids. ACID (SEBACIC).—The best remedy against this form- idable poison, which sometimes developes itself in hog's lard badly prepared, is vinegar diluted with an equal quan- tity of water, and applied both internally as a potion, and externally as a lotion, or else used as a gargle. The juice of a lemon may be substituted for vinegar, and if the patient dislikes acids, it may be administered al- ternately with sugar, or else with coffee (cafe a Veau), or in preference to either, with strong, black tea. If the dryness of the throat yield not to these remedies, and if even the injection of mucilaginous substances pro- duce no alvine evacuation, a dose of bry. will be often of great service, and this medicine may be repeated every time that the beneficial effects which it has produced are succeeded by fresh.aggravation. The affections which remain after bry. has been admin- istered, often yield to phos-ac and if there is paralysis or atrophy, ars. or kreos. ought to be preferred. ACID (Sulphuric).—See Mineral acids. ALKALIES.—The best antidotes against alkaline sub- stances are:—1. Vinegar, two dessert-spoonsful mixed with from 8 to 12 oz. of water, and a glassful taken every quarter of an hour:—2. Lemon juice, or other vegetalle acids, but sufficiently attenuated ;—3. Sour milk ;—4. Mu cilaginous drinks and clysters. In case of poisoning by baryta, pure vinegar is prejudi- cial, but sulphate of soda (Glauber's salts), dissolved in vin- egar and diluted with water, will often be beneficial. When SECT. II. TREATMENT. 693 the first alarming symptoms have disappeared, camph. or nitr-sp. may be inspired. In case of poisoning by potass, the sequelae often yield to coff or to carb-v. and when the injury is caused by am- monia to hep. ALCOHOL and ./Ether.—In most cases it will be suffi- cient to administer milk and mucilaginous drinks, or else some drops of ammonia dissolved in a glass of l'eau sucre, (sugar and water), and taken a tea-spoonful at a time. If the amelioration do not appear shortly after taking ammonia, n-vom. must be administered, and if that fails, black coffee. ALMONDS (BITTER), and other fruits which contain Hydrocyanic acid.—The principal antidote is black coffee ta- ken in large quantities, or else if the case be much aggravated, liquid ammonia, which must be inhaled by gentle olfaction, or some drops of it must be dissolved in a glass of water, and a tea-spoonful of the mixture must be taken every 10 or 15 minutes. ALUM.—Soap-water or Veau sudre, so as to provoke vomiting : and afterwards, puis, or verat. AMMONIA (Salt of), and Nitrate of potass.—Tepid water, or water in which fresh butter (without salt) has been melted, taken internally till it produces copious vom- itino-; and then mucilaginous drinks swallowed in large quantities. ANIMAL substances.—For venomous Insects, Can- tharides, poisonous Honey, Muscles, poisonous Fish, Se- bacic acid, Anthrax, &c. See these words. If the venom of Toads, or other animals of this kind is introduced into the eye, the principal medicine is acon. If this venom has entered the stomach, pulverized charcoal mixed with milk or oil must be taken ; and if serious con- sequences exhibit themselves, the spirit of nitre must be inhaled by olfaction. At a later period, ars. will be often suitable. Against the bad effects caused by contact with the Glanders of horses, the best medicine is phos-ac. or else ars—Afterwards, sulph. or calc. will sometimes be more suitable. ANTHRAX.—See Chap. II. Anthrax. ARSENIC.—The best medicines in serious cases are: —Soap-water ;—2. White of egg, dissolved in water and ta- ken as a drink ;—3. Veau sucre ;—4. Milk. Vinegar is perfectly useless ; oil is even pernicious. The tritoxide of nitrate of iron diluted in sugar and wa- 694 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS. ter (l'eau sucre) will often be found very beneficial. If this preparation cannot be immediately procured, the rust may be substituted for it. When the first alarming symptoms have disappeared, some doses of ipec. will often do much good. Chin, is sometimes suitable after ipec. especially if the patient still retain great irritability, with agitated sleep *and feverish movement at night ;—er else n-vom. if he be worse during the day, especially after sleeping, with constipation, or else with loose, slimy evacuations ; or again : verat. if after the action of ipec. there still remain frequent attacks of nausea, with vomiting, and heat, or coldness in the body, with great weakness. If the felt of hats has been dressed in a preparation of arsenic, and if from not being sufficiently lined, they pro- duce eruptions on the forehead, or ophthalmia, hep. is an antidote against these affections. Against affections caused by Abuse of arsenic as a me- dicine, the best remedies are : Chin. ipec. n-vom. verat. ASA FGETIDA.—Chin, and mere axe most efficacious against obstinate affections from the abuse of this medi- cine. Caus. ox puis, may perhaps be sometimes suitable. BITES.—See Envenomed wounds. CAMPHOR.—Black coffea till it produces vomiting; afterwards op. one dose (12th, 3 globules) every hour, till an amelioration takes place. CANTHARIDES.—The principal medicine is camphor. It may be administered by causing an alcoholic solution to be inhaled by olfaction, or by rubbing the inside of the thigh or the loins with the spirit of camphor, if there be nephritic pains, or cystitis, &e If the poison has been introduced into the eye, an ap- plication of white of egg, or of mucilaginous substances, will most readily allay the violent pains, and these reme- dies may be also taken internally as a potion, if the can- tharides have been swallowed and have caused burning pains in the stomach. The patient must not neglect to inhale camphor by olfaction at the same time. The less violent effects, which sometimes follow the abuse of these insects as a blister, often yield to acon. or puis. CARBONIC gas.—See Deleterious gases. CATERPILLARS (Venomous).—See Insects. CHAMOMILE.—The best medicines against the abuse of this medicine, in infusion, axe: Acon. cocc coff. ign. n- vom. puis. SECT. II. treatment. 695 Aconitum is especially suitable if there be : Fever with heat and tearing or drawing pains, ameliorated by move- ment. Cocculus, if, in women, chamomile has produced ab- dominal, hysterical spasms, or if it has aggravated these when they previously existed. CHLORINE—(Chlore).—See Mineral acids (Muriatic acid), and Deleterious gases. CINCHONA—Quinine.—The best medicines against affections caused by Abuse of cinchona, as a remedy, are : Am. ars. bell, calc fer. ipec mere puis, verat. or again : Caps, carb-v. cin. natr. natr-m. sep. sulph. Arnica is especially indicated when there are : Rheu- matic pains, heaviness, relaxation and pain in all the limbs as if they were beaten ; drawings all over the bones ; ex- cessive sensitiveness of all the organs, aggravation of the pains from movement, speech and noise. Arsenicum, if there be : Ulcers in the legs ; dropsical affections, or oedema of the feet, short cough, and short- ness of breath. Belladonna, if there be : Congestion to the head, with heat in the face, and frequent pains in the head, face and teeth ;—or else if there be icterus, and if mere fails. Calcarea, if there be : Head-ache, otalgia, odontalgia and pains in the limbs, especially if these affections mani- fest themselves in consequence of intermittent fever stop- ped by enormous doses of cinchona, and if puis, has failed. Ferrum, if there be cedematous swelling of the feet. Ipecacuanha, in the majority of cases, at the commence- ment of a cure. This medicine, when administered (6 glob. 6th) in a solution of water, of which three dessert- spoonsful a day are given, will often remove the greater part of the affections. Mercurius, if there be icterus, or other hepatic or bil- ious affections. Pulsatilla, if there be : Otalgia, odontalgia, cephalal- gia or pain in the limbs, especially if these affections ap- pear in consequence of intermittent fever, stopped by enor- mous doses of cinchona. Veratrum, if there be : Coldness of the body or extre- mities, with cold perspiration, constipation, or diarrhoea. ' In cases in which abuse of cinchona arises from a de- sire to stop an interbiittent fever, the best medicines are: If the fever has been really stopped : Arn. ars. bell. calc. carb-v. cin. fer. ipec. mere puis, sulph. 696 CHAP.

See also in their respective chapters, the articles: In- termittent fevers, Hepatitis, Splenitis, and all the affec- tions that may be produced by an abuse of cinchona. COLCHICUM.—The most efficacious medicines against affections caused by an abuse of this medicine, are: Cocc. n-vom. and puis. •» COPPER, Verdigris, or other Preparations of copper : the best medicines are : 1. White of egg, or water mixed with albumen ;—-2. Sugar or Veau sucre ;—3. Milk ;—4. Mucilaginous substances. Filings of iron dissolved in vinegar, and mixed with gurn-ioater, have also been recommended as a very effic'a- cio.us yertiedy.-' CORROSIVE substances. For Corrosive acids, See Mineral and corrosive Acids. For the corrosive juices of some vegetables, such as euphorbia, Sec. the best remedies are, if the patient has swallowed them : Soap-water, milk, Sec. taken as a drink; if'these substances have produced injuries on the skin : Soap-water, and afterwards, brandy used as a lotion ; if they have entered into the eye : Oil of sweet almonds, milk, ox fresh butter (without salt). FISH (Poisonous).—See Muscles and fish. GAROU.—See Mezereon (Daphne). GASES (Deleterious).—With respect to the asphyxia produced by the respiration of Sulphurated hydrogen gas, the treatment should commence by placing the pa- tient in a proper position, and applying the necessary me- chanical assistance, such as friction, &e In the next place, the face should be wetted with vinegar, mixed with twice as much water, while a sponge dipped in this water, or else in a solution of muriatic acid is applied to the nose. But when the asphyxia is so complete, that the patient does not respire at all, recourse must be had in the first place to mechanical aid, such as the inspiration of air, &c taking care at the same time that this operation is performed by a person in the highest possible health. During the operation, the person who performs it may fa- cilitate and forward its success by moistening the mouth of the patient from time to time with vinegar, and when he begins to revive, some drops of vinegar, or of muriatic acid diluted with a quantity of water may be administered to him. If* the patient complains of cold after being resuscita- ted, and if the vinegar no longer does good or becomes sect. n. treatment. 697 repugnant, half a cup of black coffee will often be very ben- eficial ; but if the patient feels heat, with great weakness, some drops of generous wine will be more suitable. In affections caused by carbonic gas, the first remedy to be employed is also vinegar. When the patient has re- vived, one dose of op. may be administered, or else several doses, in cases of necessity. If op. produces no good ef- fect, or if, notwithstanding the repetition of the doses, no favourable result follows, it will be advisable that a dose of bell, should be taken and allowed to act for several days. The exhalations'of Mushrooms or Fungi, which grow in the wainscots of houses, produce effects similar to those caused by carbonic gas, hut usually less violent. The best remedy against the bad effects of these .exhala- tions, is sulph-ac. (3rd) diluted with 8 4*z. oC "water and one spoonful taken every 3 or 4 hours, only one spcfonful every day, according to circumstances. Persons who are exposed to the vapour of Muriatic acid ought to smoke tobacco, or to take from time to time a piece of sugar saturated with brandy, rum, ox spirits of wine. With respect to the Vapour of sulphur, or Hydrocy- anic acid, of Alkaline substances, or Mineral acids, the same means may be employed as those which have been recommended against the substances themselves (vinegar, ammonia, Sec), but care must be taken not to allow the vapour to be inspired, except at a great distance, in order to avoid aggravating the state of the patient. A tea- spoonful of a mixture of one drop of these antidotes with from 8 to 12 oz. of water, may be also administered from time to time. GLANDERS of horses.—See Morve. HEPAR SULPHURIS.—Water mixed with a little vine- gar or lemon juice, oily or mucilaginous drinks, or clysters of the same kind may be often administered with great success. If, notwithstanding these means and the titilla- tions exercised at the same time on the gullet, there is no vomiting, a weak solution of tartar emetic may be given. When the patient has vomited sufficiently, a little vine- gar may be administered, or else a dose of bell, if vinegar be insufficient. , . * . HONEY (Poisonous),—The principal remedy is cam- phor, administered by olfaction and friction, at the same time that the patient takes black coffee ox tea, as hot as possible. Vol. II. 59 698 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS. INSECTS (Venomous).—The same treatment as that recommended for poisoning by Cantharides. (See that word.) Against inflammations which are occasioned by the hairs of certain caterpillars getting under the skin, and which are sometimes rather serious, the best remedy is the application of bandages saturated with spirit of camphor. For the Stings of insects, See Chap. II. Mechanical injuries. IODINE.—The best remedies in serious cases of poi- soning are : 1. Starch, mixed with water;—2. Starch-paste ; —3. Wheat flour ;—4. Mucilaginous drinks. Against the sequelae, and also against affections occa- sioned by the abuse of this substance, as a medicine, the most suitable remedies are : Bell, followed by phos. or again : Ars. chin. coff. hep. spong. sulph. LEAD.—1. Sulphate of magnesia (Epsom salts), one dessert-spoonful dissolved in half a pound of water and taken as a potion ;—2. Sulphate of soda (Glauber's salts) ; —3. Soap-water ;—4. White of eggs ;—5. Milk;—6. Muci- laginous drinks or clysters. Against the affections which remain after the use of these remedies, the most suitable medicines are frequent- ly: Alum. bell, n-vom. op. plat, and these same medicines ought also to be selected against the chronic affections which arise from the Abuse of plumbum, as a remedy. . LYCOPODIUM.—If, by chance, the use of this sub- stance as a desiccative, has produced affections, and if ol- faction of camphor fails to remove them, puis, will often be suitable ; or else n-vom. if obstinate constipation fol- lows: cham. if. there be 6pasms or convulsions; acon. if there be fever with heat and agitation. MAGNESIA ; Carbonate, Muriate, Sulphate of. mag- nesia.—The best medicines against the affections, caused by abuse of this substance as a remedy, are : Arn. cham. coff. coloc. n-vom. puis. rhab. Arsenicum is especially indicated, if there follow vio- lent burning pains, which are aggravated at night, and force the patient to quit the bed. Chamomilla, if there be violent colic, with or without diarrhoea. Coffea, if sleeplessness follows, with nervous excita- bility. Colocynthis, if there be : Colic, with insupportable spasmodic pain and constipation, or slow and rare evacu- ations. sect. ii. treatment. 699 Nux-vomica, if there be obstinate constipation, without other sufferings ; or if in the colic with constipation, coloc. fails to produce regular evacuations. Pulsatilla, if there be spasmodic colic, with leucor- rhcea, or watery diarrhoea with colic, especially if rheum, be insufficient in this last case. Rhabarbarum (Rheum), if there be watery, sour diar- rhoea, with colic and tenesmus. MERCURY and Mercurial preparations.—The best remedies in serious cases of poisoning, especially from Corrosive sublimate, are :—1. White of egg, diluted in wa- ter and taken as a potion;—2. Uau sucre ;—3. Milk ;—4. Starch mixed with water, or paste prepared from this sub- stance. The white of egg and Veau sucre are the principal remedies, and had better be administered alternately. The Consecutive affections require no other medi- cines than mercurial affections, such as often appear after an abuse of these preparations as remedies. In this last case, the principal antidote, and that which is most frequently suitable, is hep. administered in a dose of from 3 to 6 globules (6th atten.), dissolved in eight ounces of water, and a table-spoonful of this preparation is to be taken every day. This medicine is also particularly indicated when there are : Nocturnal cephalalgia, and fall- ing off of the hair ; painful nodosities on the head ; inflamed and red eyes, with painful sensibility of the nose when pressing it up; scabs round the mouth ; salivation and ul- ceration of the gums ; swelling of the amygdalae and glands of the neck; swelling and ulceration of the inguinal or axillary glands; loose evacuations with tenesmus; ten- dency of the skin to inflammation and suppuration, Sec. (See the pathogenesis of hep. First part.) After the action of hep., bell, or else nitr-ac is most fre- quently suitable. If after the action of nitr-ac. there still remain some affections, a dose of sulph. will often do great good for several weeks ; after this medicine, calc. also is sometimes suitable. When the patient has been subjected to an abuse of mercury and sulph. at the same time, the most suitable medicines will be : Bell. puis, or else mere In some particular cases,and especially in Chronic affec- tions from the abuse of mercury, recourse may be also had: Against affections of the Mouth and Gums, Salivation, &e to: Carb-v. dulc. hep. natr-ac. staph, sulph. or again: Chin. iod. natr-m. 700 CHAP.

In chronic affections, from the abuse of metallic sub- stances, as remedies, sulph. is one of the most important medicines, and ought to he taken into consideration even where there exist more specific antidotes, if certain mor- bid affections still continue after the application of these antidotes. MEZEREON.—Garoa.—Daphne, if morbid affections arise from the abuse of this remedy, which is employed in the old school of medicine to keep up issues ; an alcoholic solution of camphor may be first inhaled by olfaction ; and then if the mouth or bones are affected by it, mere is most suitable ; and if the joints: Bry. or rhus.—See Glanders. MUSCLES and Poisonous fish.—The first remedy to be employed against poisoning by Muscles, is charcoal mixed with syrup of sugar, or with sugar and water ; after- wards, camphor may be inhaled by olfaction, and black coffee may be taken. Against poisonous Fish, it will be advisable to adminis- ter charcoal mixed with brandy ; but when this remedy fails, and black coffee no longer relieves, much sugar should be' eaten, or water mixed with a great quantity of sugar should SECT.

If after poisoning by Muscles or poisoned Fish, there be an eruption or redness of the skin, like scarlatina, with swelled face, sore throat, &c bell, will often be very ser- viceable, or else, accordiug to the circumstances, Cop. MUSHROOMS (Poisonous).—Poisonous fungi.—Copi- ous vomiting should be provoked in the first place ; but it will be better to employ for this purpose, water, as cold as possible, and at the same time, to tickle the patient's throat, and to administer charcoal, mixed with oil of olives.—If these means fail, a slight olfaction of ammonia is frequent- ly beneficial. NARCOTIC substances.—See Vegetables. NITRATE OF SILVER.—Nitras argenti.—Kitchen salt dissolved in water and taken in large quantities ; after- wards, mucilaginous drinks. NITRATE OF POTASS.—Mitras potasse.—See Am- monia. OPIUM.—The principal antidote is black coffee, or else vinegar ; afterwards, some doses of ipec. will do good.—If after the use of ipec. there still remain morbid affections, recourse may be had to : Merc, n-vom. or bell, and these medicines ought ^ilso to be preferred in chronic affections from the abuse of opium, as a remedy. Phosphorus.—Oil and all greasy substances are very pernicious.—The principal object is to produce vomiting as speedily as possible, and this may be done by placing a pinch of snuff or a little mustard on the tongue, if the titil- lation of the throat fails. Black coffee may be afterwards taken, and at the end of some hours, a dessert-spoonful of magnesia. If morbid affections still remain after the use of mag- nesia, n-vom. will frequently be the most suitable medicine ; and some drops of generous wine upon sugar may be admin- istered if the patient manifest a desire for it. PLUMBUM.—See Lead. RHUBARB.—The following medicines will be found beneficial. Chamomilla, if there be: Violent colic, with loose, greenish evacuations. Colocynthis, if the colic with diarrhoea yields not to the use of cham. Mercurius, if there be : Loose, greenish evacuations, of a sour smell, or evacuation of sanguinolent substances. 59* 702 CHAP.

Against its consecutive affections : Mere STRAMONIUM.—Black coffee, or vinegar (or citric acid) in large quantities, and if the vomiting is slow in manifesting itself, an injection of tobacco-smoke. (See Sect. 1, Vomiting.) Against the consecutive sufferings: M-vom. SUBLIMATE (CORROSIVE).—See Mercury. SULPHATE OF COPPER, Iron and Zinc—Tepid wa- ter, sweetened with sugar, or white of egg dissolved in water, till vomiting is produced ; afterwards mucilaginous drinks.

SUMACH (POISONOUS).—If imprudent contact with this vegetable has produced erysipelatous inflammations, or any other kind of eruption, nothing can be more perni- cious than the application of external remedies. The med- icines that ought to be administered internally are: Bry. or bell. TIN.—Against serious cases :—1. White of erro-;—2. Sugar;—3. Milk.---Against obstinate affections: Puis. may be often administered with success. TOADS (Venom of).—See Animal substances. 4' VALERIAN—The most efficacious medicines against chronic affections, caused by an abuse of this plant as a remedy, are : Cham. coff. n-vom. or sulph. VEGETABLES.—In all cases of poisoning by vegeta- bles, the olfaction of camphor is one of the principal reme- dies, and also the use of black coffee. Narcotic plants require particularly, black coffee and vinegar diluted with water. SECT. II. TREATMENT. 703 Corrosive plants, or those which produce violent pains : Soap-water or milk. VERDIGRIS.—See Copper. WOUNDS (POISONED).—Envenomed wounds.—Ac- cording to Dr. Hering, the best remedy against the Bites of venomous serpents, mad dogs, Sec. is the application of dry heat at a distance. Whatever is at hand at the mo- ment, a red-hot iron or a live coal, or even a lighted cigar, must be placed as near the wound as possible, without, however, burning the skin, or causing too sharp pain, but care must be taken to have another instrument ready in the fire, so as never to allow the heat to lose its intensity. It is essential, also, that the heat should not exercise its influence over too large a surface, but only on the wound and the parts adjacent. If oil "or grease can be readily procured, it may be applied round the wound, and this ope- ration should be repeated as often as the skin becomes dry; soap, or even saliva may be employed, where oil or grease cannot bo obtained. Whatever is discharged in any way from the wound, ought to be carefully removed. The application of burning heat should be continued in this manner till the patient begins to shiver and to stretch himself; if this takes place at the end of a few minutes, it will be better to keep up the action of the heat upon the wound for an hour, or until the affections produced by the venom are observed to diminish. Internal medicines must be judiciously administered at the same time. In the case of a Bite from a serpent, it will be advisable to take from time to time a gulp of salt and water, or a pinch of kitchen salt, or of gunpowder, or else some pieces of garlic. If, notwithstanding this, bad effects manifest them- selves, a spoonful of wine or brandy, administered every two or three minutes, will be the most suitable remedy ; and this should be continued till the sufferings are relieved, and repeated as often as they are renewed. If the Shooting pains are aggravated, and proceed from the wound towards the heart, and if the wound becomes bluish, marbled and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo and fainting, the best medicine is ars. It should be adminis- tered in a dose of 3 globules (30th) in a spoonful of cof- fee ; and if after this has been taken, the sufferings are still aggravated, the dose should be repeated at the end of half an hour ; but if, on the contrary, the state remains the same, it should not be repeated till the end of two or three hours ; if there be an amelioration, a new aggravation must 704 CHAP. XXVI. POISONS. be waited for, and the dose ought not to be repeated before its appearance. In cases in which ars. exercises no influence, though repeated several times, recourse must be had to: Bell. Sen. also frequently proves efficacious. Against chronic affections arising from the bite of a serpent, phos-ac. and mere will generally be most beneficial. For the treatment of persons bitten by a mad dog, after the application of dry heat, as directed and described above, See Chap. V. Hydrophobia. If morbid affections or ulcerations exhibit themselves in consequence of a bite from a rabid man or animal, hy- drophobic, administered in homoeopathic doses, will often render essential service. For wounds that are env*enomed by the introduction of animal substances in a state of putrefaction, or of pus from the ulcer of a diseased man or animal, ars. is generally the best medicine. Lastly, as a Preventive against bad effects, when obliged to touch morbid animal substances, envenomed wounds or ulcers of men and animals, under the influence of contagious diseases, the best method that can be pur- sued is the application of dry, burning heat, at a distance, as before described. To effect this purpose, it will he sufficient to expose the hands for five or ten minutes to the greatest heat that can be borne ; and after this, it will be proper to wash them with soap. The use of Chlorine and muriatic acid, in similar cases, is well known. A GLOSSARY OF SOME OF THE TECHNICS USED IN THIS WORK. A.
