LUDWIO AND CO., PRINTKRS, N. T. LIBRARY OF THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HOMOEOPATHY NOTICE OF THE AMERICAN EDITOR. It will be seen that in.this first volume of the Manual the Editor has used Dr. Hempel?s version in place of the very defective translation heretofore adopted in this work. This volume is therefore an epitome of the larger w< rk of Jahr, recently published by Mr. Radde, {the Symp tomen Codex) with the addition of Clinical observations from Hahnemann, Ilartmann, and others of good report in the School. The Empirical Observations from the Old School, heretofore arranged at the head of the several chapters, have been transposed to the end of the volume, where they will be found alphabetically arranged. In addition to the credit and thanks justly due to Dr. Hkmpel, the Editor acknowledges with very great satisfaction the obligation he is under to Egbert Guernsey, M.D., for his laborious co-operation involved in produc ing this edition. The " Introduction" of Jahr, from the French edition, has been abridged ; but the Editor hopes the professional critic will find nothing of imminent practical value left out. A. GERALD HULL, M.D. INTRODUCTION. I.--ON THE SYMPTOMS COLLATED IN THIS WORK. Our plan of collating the effects of medicaments consists in pre- senting primarily t the pure pathogenetic effects; and secondarily, as perfecting the former, the sufferings known from experience to have been cured by them. In composing the first edition of our work, we took an entirely opposite course, and preferred for our basis the symptoms which, in the practice of medicine, had contributed to in- dicate the remedies. But reflecting that these symptoms are much less certain than symptoms purely pathogenetic, we changed our course in the second edition, taking the pure Materia Medica for the basis. There was a single inconvenience which attended this procedure, that two sets of symptoms were thrown together with- out distinction. On the other hand, this inconvenience was not, it is true, followed by any serious result; inasmuch as the direct symptoms indicated the circumstances in which a medicine, ac- cording to our principles, ought to act favourably; whilst the symp- toms cured discover those in which the medicine has acted with good effect, which for the practice amounts to the same thing, if in relation to these last, it was certain that they had disappeared under the action of the remedy. For this reason we have endeavoured, in this edition, to distin - guish as far as possible the two kinds of symptoms, designating by a zero (°) those which, without having been observed as pathoge- netic symptoms, have, notwithstanding, been cured by the medicine; and by an asterisk (*) those which have been observed at the same time as pathogenetic effects and clinical indications ; while those pathogenetic effects which have not as yet contributed to any known cases of cure are left v' hout any distinguishing sign. Thus each vi INTRODUCTION. symptom can be estimated according to its true value, and applied according to the confidence placed in the respective classes which we propose to establish. For our own part we are never guided bj single symptom ; it is the general characteristic resulting from the total pathogenesis, that controls us in our appreciation of particular symptoms of every kind. This is our rule for determining the choice of a medicine ; it is the rule we have observed in tracing out the tableaux of this work ; and it should be that of every Homoeo- pathic physician who would escape deception For, when some isolate feature fails in exact resemblance to the symptomatology oi the Materia medica, the total physiognomy, such as results from the ensemble of the symptoms, will not on that account be less exact than the best portrait after nature ; and whosoever shall acquire by profound study the truly essential characteristic will be in possession of a science that the knowledge of single features can never give. That the sphere of action of medicines may be better settled we have given a more extended number of symptoms than in the pre- vious editions. This, it is true, has rendered the coup d''ceil more difficult; but the clinical observations, which are to be found at the end of this volume, are alphabetically arranged in a clinical index, will prove ample aids to bring them into favourable light and to form a much more concise resume without interfering in the least with the residue. It is not intended, however, that the symptoms marked in italics should determine the choice of remedies to the exclusion of the others. Every symptom has a relative value. but no one in an absolute manner. That which is characteristic in the pathogenesis of a medicine is only relatively so to the medi- cines which possess it not; and the same symptom which, in such or such a series of comparisons, has no distinctive value, because common to them all, acquires the highest importance on comparing this medicine with another. In this manner we have generally distinguished those phenomena which appeared to predominate over the others in the same organ, or those sensations which seemed to re-appear most frequently in organs which were most unlike, &c. We have frequently, also, distinguished in two alternating effects, that which seemed to occur the most frequently, although, in almost every case, the one and other of these effects had an equal importance. Thus it is that Diar- rhcea and Constipation in Nux vomica, thirst and thirstlessness in Pulsatilla, burning pain and ice-cold sensation in Arsenic, are one and all alike characteristic for the choice of the medicine, when INTRODUCTION. vii the rest of the symptoms accord with the disease. There is also a phenomenon more constant than is generally imagined : all medi- cines, principally the polychrests, which have some well marked symptom, hold equally in alternation this symptom and the pheno- menon opposed to it; and it is generally wrong to consider one symp- tom as primitive, and another as secondary or consecutive : for one or other (according to the individuals) can, in reality, first manifest itself. And is not the same fact observable in a large number of diseases sui generis. ? Does not Typhus, for example, produce in- cessant sleeplessness and then the most profound coma, or stupidity at times and then delirium, or constipation the most obstinate, or diarrhoea the most violent, according to the constitution of the indi- vidual affected 1 The question of similia and contraria does not hang on the relation of some isolate symptoms, but on the totality of the phenomena, the general aspect of the disease and the patho- genesis of the medicament. But this is not the place for the dis- cussion of this question, of which we have simply taken note, and to which we have given a passing glance, merely to answer those who have desired to know how we have, among contrary or con- tradictory effects, distinguished that which is primitive from that which is consecutive. II.--ON THE USE OF THE HOMOEOPATHIC DOSES. Beside the pathogenesis and resume of clinical cases, some re- marks upon the doses used and the duration of their action, may be found at the head of each medicine.—In regard to the doses, we have selected them as found in authors, regarding them only as historical authority, but in no respect as absolute rules. The ques- tion of dilution must always be secondary, relatively to that of the medicine. Hahnemann employs the thirtieth in preference, others such as they find in the pharmacopoeias, and others pass from one dilution to another, especially in cases of repetition. Dr. Mure, in an article inserted in the Bibliotheque de Geneve, prefers the use of the first (low) attenuations in acute diseases, and those of the last (high) in chronic maladies. We ourselves, in the preface to a former Paris edition, expressed similar opinions regarding the dif- ferent dilutions, and virtually the same up to the present time Viil INTRODUCTION. in this form : that if any distinction is to be maintained for prac- tice, we think that the first attenuations generally answer the best for maladies whose progress is rapid, while the last accord with those whose progress is tedious. But another question arises for information : whether, in cases where the low dilutions seem to be required (such as some primitive forms of syphilis, gonorrhoea, &c), a desirable result cannot be attained by administering the last dilutions in reiterated doses, and especially by spoonful doses of a watery solution 1 For whatever may be the increase of strength which the remedies may acquire by trituration or shaking, it is not the less true that there follows at the same time a loss of power, inasmuch as any quantity of the thirtieth dilution will always prove more feeble than an equal volume of the first. The thing is per- fectly evident, if we compare the effects which ten drops of the crude tincture of Arsenic will produce, with those which result from ten drops of the thirtieth. The observation is equally applicable to those substances which are called inert in their natural state, in this, that if we take a grain of Lycopodium, or pure Carbon, but suf- ficiently triturated to become active, this grain will act more than an equal volume of the thirtieth dilutions of these substances. But on the other hand, it is ascertained that by these dilutions the body of the substances has been dilated or expanded in its surface; and, in this manner, not only affects a greater number of our organs, when taken, but also developes all its atoms, which remain inactive in the compact state, and by consequence, allows a display of their entire action. For example, a hundred drops of the first dilution will produce, together, an effect infinitely more decided than can be obtained by a single drop of the crude tincture; yet in the hundred drops of the first dilution there is not in reality any more medicinal matter than existed in the single drop of the crude tincture. Whence it appears that, while a single drop of the thirtieth in itself, may be more feeble than a drop of the first, a certain number of drops may constitute a dose, which, by the extension of its active atoms, will not only prove equal, but even surpass the power of the first dilutions. This is not the appropriate place to treat of the preparation of doses, which justly belongs to the pharmacopoeias ; notwithstanding, we will propose this question : For the development of the dynamic virtue of a medicine, will it answer to move the atoms of substances, either by shaking or trituration, or will it not be preferable to ad- vance from dilution to dilution to reach the greatest extension pos- sible of the atoms as to surface? We have seen the ingenious in- INTRODUCTION. IX strument of trituration, invented by Mure, and the really powerful machine with which he effects the dilutions of his medicines ; we have used the medicines prepared by these means, and must con- fess that, in respect to activity, they absolutely leave nothing to be desired, unless that their effects are sometimes in direct proportion to the increased number of shakings they may have received.—The essential requisite is that the mixture shall be as intimate, as pos- sible ; and to produce this result it is necessary that the substances be agitated up to a certain point; but, for a medicine mixed with alcohol in the proportion of 1 to 100, it is probable that after 50 or 100 shakings, the combination of all the atoms will be effected as completely as possible.—The palpable advantage which a machine offers for shaking, appears in the power of preparing medicines in the proportion of 1 to 100, and perhaps, also, of 1 to 10,000, advan- cing even up to the thirtieth. Through a mechanism which will conveniently allow agitation in so large proportions, we can obtain all that is to be coveted in relation to the development of the virtue of medicines. III.—ON THE REPETITION OP DOSES. We have treated, at length, of the dilution to be employed, in a separate article, feeling that this question appeared less important for practice than that of the multiplication of doses, or of the repe- tition according to the occasion. Give, if you please, during a cer- tain time, 10, 12, or 15 globules to the sick, and also one entire drop of the first dilutions: and on abstaining from the repetition of the dose until a new indication supervenes, you will not perceive a more unpleasant aggravation than if you had administered some glo- bules of the last dilutions, and in this case, the difference will be, by no means, in proportion to the relative volume of the medical sub- stance taken. Change your experiment, on the contrary : take a single globule of any dilution, whether of the first or of the thirtieth, and dissolve it in 10, 12, or 15 spoonfuls of water, and give the solution to the sick by spoonfuls; the aggravations that will follow in particular cases, e-pecially in some chronic affections will be much more vio- X INTRODUCTION. lent, and much less easy to combat, than those which appear in consequence of one entire drop, also of the first dilution, when it has been taken at a single time. We have remarked this fact more than a hundred times in the course of our observations; and Hahnemann himself has given it as his opinion that one or two glo- bules taken at a single time form a feeble and most gentle dose, while the same globules dissolved in a quantity of water and taken in repeated spoonfuls have a much more decided action upon the or- ganism. Frequently, it is true, a patient may take a spoonful of a like solution for a fortnight, every evening or every morning, with- out any misadventure; but it is not less frequently the case that, af- ter the use of the solution, an aggravation arises proportionately more violent than the state of the patient had been satisfactory during the taking of the medicament, an aggravation which, in many cases, does not yield to a new dose of the solution, but to return, in con- sequence, with renewed intensity, resembling in action the reliel afforded by palliatives. On this account, however salutary and how- ever preferable this mode of administering medicines in repeated do- ses may be in many cases, it is nevertheless not always applicable, and demands for its successful employment to be based on fixed prin- ciples and rules. These rules, we very well know, cannot be esta- blished with any certainty but by comparing a great number of the most contradictory observations; and, if we here essay to express our opinion on this subject, it is only with the intention of present- ing some ideas for a more extented examination in the solution of this important question. Our ideas, in other respects, are the same as those we have expressed in our first edition, but more matured. The principle which, according to our views, and oonformably to the basis of our science, should lead to a view of the question in its true aspect is, that true, durable and radical cures are never effected by the direct action of a medicine, but by a reaction of nature excited by it ; whence there follows as a first general consequence, that every repetition of doses is at least superfluous, except entire- ly displaced, whilst this reaction follows its course. Thus we ob- serve in a large number of functional lesions not very inveterate, often the single taking of an appropriate medicines an amelioration established, which, with very unimportant interruptions, continues in general up to the entire cessation of suffering. To administer rei- terated doses immediately after, in such cases, or to renew the first taken upon a slight and sudden diminution that this amelioration may undergo, would be opposing nature in her efforts, and most certainly retard the cure. Also in some recent and trifling organic INTRODUCTION. XI lesions a cure may be frequently obtained much more promptly by the administration of a single dose. But it is quite the con- trary inN all very severe cases of organic lesions, especially those which result from the energetic action of some poison, miasm, or medicinal substance. In such instances the disease appears to have its own peculiar vital power, which controls the vital force of the organization, and obstructs or promptly neutralizes the reaction, which requires for its support a new and constant activity sufficient to triumph over the disease. Here■ we can administer repeated do- ses, in solutions, with the greatest success, whether the dilutions be the first or last, provided they are only continued to the necessarv point for establishing the victorious reaction of the vital principle. The same rule applies to all the organic lesions, which, from their nature, maintain a continual focus of irritation in the parts affected, such as inflammations with suppuration, ulcers, some forms of dis- organizations, &c. In some cases of chronic diseases, characterized by a kind of in- ertness and want of reaction, we may have similar recourse to rei- terated doses of globules dissolved in water ; but this depends upon another reason and in regard to a design quite different from that of the preceding cases. For whilst we struggle to combat the violence of the disease which triumphs over the reaction, we will also endea- vour to aggravate the malady, so to speak, before arousing it from its inertness, and thus elicit the reaction of the vitality of the orga- nism. Nevertheless these trials are not always without danger, and it is necessary to proceed with much caution, lest the aggravation, | on developing itself, may be so violent as to render insufficient the reaction of the vital force. Therefore in similar cases we must most cautiously administer the repeated doses at intervals as short as possible, and arrest them on witnessing the supervention of the first signs of an aggravation. Finally, there is another case in which we may repeat the doses: ii is when after, a time more or less prolonged, the disease improves, and vet the symptoms indicate the same medicine more than any other. But these cases seldom occur, except we have given a single dose one time for all, or many spoonfuls to the point of aggra- vation, the effects of which we await without further action; and then it is essential that we are certain of the cessation of the ag- gravation before we have recourse to a repetition. XII INTRODUCTION. IV.—ON THE DURATION OF THE ACTION OF MEDICINES. What we have said regarding the period when the repetition of a single dose should seem to be indicated, applies equally to the choice of a medicine. For every aggravation, after an appropriate time, is not always a natural aggravation of the disease; frequently, on the contrary, it is dependent upon a new excitement provoked by the medicine which continues to act; and here nothing better can be done than to wait, since it will generally subside in a few days and give place to a much more decided expression. We frequently wit- ness this development, especially in chronic diseases, after the ad- ministration of a single dose, one time for all. Frequently the two and three first days are good: then follows a light aggravation which disappears and renews itself occasionally for some time: so that generally in the first fortnight, and especially during the third week, the number of bad days exceed those of the good, while a change finally takes place at the conclusion of the month; the fa- vourable days now exceeding the bad, a durable benefit is estab- lished and continues to the seventh and eighth weeks, an epoch in which the relics of the disease, which have not been completely de- stroyed, commence their reappearance.—In the mean time, there is a case where the aggravation is only the last effort of the action of the medicine, an effort that does not fail to subside in several days, leaving the disease, if not entirely cured, at least in such a state that no other means offer a more favourable issue. To apply a new medicine in such a case without knowing what might be developed must frequently annul the whole treatment while by carefully watch- ing and understanding the progress of the vital reaction, we may frequently obtain in two months, with a single dose of a single medi- cine, an acceleration of cure, which could not be done in two years by a continual change of medicines, or by inappropriate multiplica- tion of doses. Such is our oft-repeated experience in following out the precepts Hahnemann gives on this subject in his Orgonon, and in the first volume on Chrome Maladies; and to it we seriously call the attention of every Homoeopathic physician. It is never neces- sary, in any chronic disease, to change the medicine without having observed, at least during five or six days, the aggravation which seemed to demand it; and, likewise, those which sometimes occur aj- 'tor the cessation of a medicine administered by spoonfuls ought to INTRODUCTION. xiii be treated after the same manner, that is to say, to allow the medi- cine to act so long as there is any room to hope for improvement. Notwithstanding the indispensable rule that a salutary remedy shall be allowed to expend its entire action, including the occasional momentary aggravation, we must not hesitate to interfere with the medicine we have chosen.—1. When it produces no effect; or 2. When its effect is unfavourable. The first of these conditions will be revealed to the attentive physician when he observes no symp- tom peculiar to the medicine, and when the state of the disease re- mains stationary, or is progressively aggravated without amelioration in any respect, presenting only such symptoms as belong to a more advanced state of the malady. It is then that the phyician will do well to make an immediate repetition of the medicament administered, even to the extent of producing some change. If there follows an improvement, even though it be slight, it will be necessary to watch the alternations of good and bad, as we have before indicated, but if, on the contrary, the state be rendered worse after the repe- tition, we must observe whether the aggravation be salutary, or whether it be owing to badly chosen medicine from the prolonged action of which we must expect unfavourable results. This last may be easily recognized when the supervening aggravation, which may be a contest of the medicinal symptoms, is neither preceded nor interrupted by a single moment of comfort, and when, at the same time, the originally manifested disease makes its progress in the fashion of the general symptoms. In this case the physician ought not fail to replace the acting medicine by one which responds more accurately to the ensemble of the malady, and which will also cover the symptoms produced by the acting medicine. We can lay down as a principle that, if the general state, and es- pecially the moral condition of the patient be ameliorated, the phy- sician should await the action of the medicine, whatever may be the state of the local signs in other respects ; but whenever the patient is worse in these respects (the general state including the moral) with- out any promise of a favourable termination, the medicine should be changed. The time justly required for observation, before deciding for or against, should be at least 5, 6 or 8 days in chronic diseases, as we have before stated ; and in acute diseases from 15 to 30 min- utes, or from 6 to 12 or 24 hours, according to the degree of vio- lence and the more or less rapid progress of the disease. Thus on examining the state of the invalid, we have frequently witnessed the salntarv action of the medicines prolonged to 24,48 and 96 hours, XIV INTRODUCTION. in acute diseases, and to seven and eight weeks in chronic maladies. These are the views we have wished to make known in indicating the duration of the action of each medicine. V. ON ANALOGOUS REMEDIES. A salutary medicine having expended its action, the disease will be frequently left in a state which is less characterized by the kind of symptoms than by the diminution of their intensity, so that we feel that we should repeat the same medicine. In the mean time, on carefully examining the patient, we shall observe some shades of variation, even though very delicate ; it is then that another medi- cine is frequently indicated which in its pathogenesis bears a strong resemblance to the first. On this account, Hahnemann has indicated Calcarea or Nitric acid, as suitable after Sulphur, Lycopudium, &c. Dr. Constantine Hering has increased these indications, which we have taken pains to add to the descriptions of me- dicines for facilitating researches of every kind to the phy- sician. And to render useful the other affinities besides those which Hahnemann and Hering have indicated, we have given at the head of each medicine, under the rubric, " compare with," a list of those which seemed to have the closest analogy, and which, on occasion, could not only be administered after, but also serve as antidotes to this medicine.. This list frequently differs from that of Bcenninghausen, because the additions which the pathogenesis of many medicines has received in latter times, has also developed their analogies. The principal advantage which the physician can draw from these indications is in making comparative studies of analogous medicines, the better to establish their points of dissimilarity, and to avoid a multitude of deceptions which cannot fail to arise if they be con- fused in the administration of one for the other, as for example, Lachesis in the place of Mercury, Veratrum or China, in that of Arsenic, &c A deplorable abuse of these indications would be, on the contrary, to take them for an absolute guide for a choice, and to give a series of analogous medicines without any other reason than this analogy ; or again, to precede a medicine still indicated by another which is not, only because it has been reputed to be INTRODUCTION. XV efficacious after the use of the first. The fundamental law for the employment of medicines is always the similitude of symptoms and the necessity of allowing the medicine to expend its action. An analogous medicine cannot be thought of until the action of the first has been expended, and then it should be only used on a comparison of symptoms, and a conviction of the fitness of its indication. In the article of Antidotes, we have indicated medicines, of which that in question is the antidote itself, persuaded as we are, in many cases, that the antidotal relations of two medicines are reci- procal, and that by the one we can relieve the others. Besides, it is necessary in the choice of antidotes, as in that of medicines in general, to follow them in their series. The best antidote will al- ways be that which best answers to the symptoms; and, in general, it will be much more profitable not to lose time in seeking for an antidote, but to make use of the medicine which most clearly accords with the ensemble of the symptoms which the patient presents. If this medicine partake of both relations (antidotal and homoeopathic,) so much the better ; but if it possess neither of these, he must not hesitate to search after one'that is more suitable. VI. ON THE MANNER OF USING THIS MANUAL. Having already given instructions for the practical use of this Manual, we deem it equally important to make a few remarks on the mode of pursuing the study of the medicines. We should com- mence by glancing at the clinical index, for which the employment of a medicine has been recommended, taking into consideration such cases only as are distinguished by italics, and in comparing each one of the cases with the pathogenetic symptoms, which can indi- cate the medicine in a given case. This investigation once made for the cases which are prominent, the same will answer for the rest, and may be extended to other cases than those we have cited, but which must ever depend on the ensemble of the symptoms. In this manner we gradually become familiarized with the medicine, and begin to have a sufficient general knowledge thereof. To attain this knowledge it will answer a good purpose to make extracts from this Manual. But if the practitioner be much occupied, he may abridge this labour by underlining, in red, all the clinical cases and XVI INTRODUCTION. such symptoms as we have distinguished by italics, and in order to have some guiding marks at once, a frame work which he can gradually fill up in the course of his practical researches, take pains to underline, in red, the symptoms he may have not so distinguished. A person beginning to act thus respecting the medicines, and com- paring the most analogous medicines with each other, will soon find that he has not done enough, but appalled by the mass of the symptoms will feel that he ought have recourse to Hahnemann's most important works : " Materia Medica and Chronic Diseases" for the pursuance of these studies, to procure the ample details of symptoms which the last analysis requires. The complete knowledge of the Materia Medica is not as diffi- cult as has been generally thought, and all depends upon the manner in which it is undertaken. By proceeding in a methodic manner, and by progressing from generals to particulars, the student cannot fail in the end to master the most complex lessons of this art. The course of study should begin with those medicines which are most useful, and gradually extended step by step down the scale of importance till the remainder are understood also. The Homceopathist, in making choice of a remedy for a case of disease, excludes none of the medicines from the inquest, but takes all under consideration impartially ; and in the practice it is indis- pensable to take this course.—Whilst, in a preparatory study of the Materia Medica, it is better to avoid the attempt to form a coup- d'ceil of all the medicines at once, and to study only one or a few at a time. Finally, that physicians may have the study of the selection of medicines facilitated, we have in Table I. indicated those which are most used, and after this we have prepared another (Table II). which contains a classification of the medicines according to their importance. These classes are five in number, each one of which is divided into five parts, except the last, which is composed of medi- cines not much known. At the end of this table will be found a plan of study arranged so that the student who follows it will thoroughly examine the medicines, and very much extend his knowledge of a great number of them. We have divided it into three parts : the first including seven studies of all of the most im- portant, and the two others of eleven each for the details. By de- voting a week to each of these studies, in eight months time the student may acquire the contents of our Manual, when he may also undertake the comparison of analogous medicines, a labour which, in every case, will prove equally productive with the others. INTRODUCTION. XVU The new student of Homoeopathia should pursue this labour, then, so indispensable to the acquirement of a certain degree of safety in practice. To see all the Homceopathic physicians give that atten- tion to our science which its importance demands, will unquestion- ably prove a more agreeable recompense than we could have wished, for all the industry and trouble that the new remodelling of our work has necessarily required at our hands.

In violent cases even 8 or 10 globules or if the tinctures are used, 1 to 3 drops of the medicine into a clean glass, pouring thereon from a half to a whole pint of water, mixing it effectually ; a tablespoonful to adults, and a teaspoon- ful to children must be given every hour, in chronic diseases every morning. When the patient, after taking medicine, begins to feel better, however little, he must cease taking medicine ; but as soon ns his convalescence ceases, he should begin to lake some of the same medicino. or another appropriate one.

In such cases, the patient should cease to take any more, and wait for the effects of what he has taken. If the aggrava- tion is very violent, let him smell of camphor, but not change the remedy. But should the beneficial effect of the medicine be interrupted and cease altogether, the patient growing worse in consequence of taking cold, eating improper food, &e, he should take something to counteract the cause which occasioned this interruption, and then recur to the same medicine which had previously produced the favourable change. With regard to the external application of the tincture of Arnica, Hyperi- cum, Ruta, Symphytum, &c. it is only necessary to put 1 or 2 drops of the remedy in a wine-glass of water and apply this 3 or 4 times a day, or as often as mentioned under each particular case, to the injured part.

The symptoms which have no sign are symptoms purely patho- genetic, that is to say symptoms produced by pure experiment. (*) The asterisk designates the pathogenetic symptoms which have been confirmed by cures. (°) The cipher indicates the symptoms or the circumstances under the presence of which the medicine has acted favourably, but which have not as yet been observed as pathogenetic symptoms. (") The stroke above is intended to annul the indication of the preceding sign. Thus, where this stroke is not found, the last sign of a phrase always influences all the rest. On the contrary, all that comes after this stroke is fully equivalent to the symptoms which have no sign and belong to the observations purely patho- genetic. TABLES AND EXPLANATIONS. xlvii All the signs will be often found in a single phrase, as for in- stance in the following: Itching, * shooting-pains and pressure in the eyes'" and in the eye-lids, °especially at night, *or in the evening, "as well as in the morning. In this phrase there are first: Itching, shooting pains and pressure, which have been observed, all three, as pathogenetic symptoms, but of which the two last, shooting pc ins and pressure, have been at the same time removed by the medicine in one case of cure, as the asterisk (*) indicates. But the stroke (~) before and in the eye-lids announces at the same time that the cure has as yet been observed only for the eyes and not for the eye-lids, for which the observation is not pathogenetic. Then comes the cipher (°) before especially at night, which declares that these sensations, in the case cured, had taken place at night, but that at that hour they had not been observed as pathogenetic effects. But the second asterisk (*) before in the evening, means that at that latter period, these symptoms have taken place, as well in the case of cure, as in quality of pathogenetic effects. The last stroke (~) indicates finally that the appearance of these symptoms, in the morning, has been hitherto observed only as pathogenetic effects. ( f ) The note of interrogation is placed after the name of any disease which has not yet, to our knowledge, been cured by that remeSty* with absolute certainty, or which has been recommended merely upon theoretical grounds. (; ) The semicolon in this work has not been employed to sepa- rate the parts of one and the same symptom ; it has only been used for the purpose of distinguishing the part after it, as being entirely different from the part preceding.

ARGENTUM NITRICUM. 93 Epilepsies produced by moral causes (such as, for exam- ple, very impassioned lay-preaching), are promptly and du- rably cured by a few small doses of this drug, whilst those proceeding from abdominal irritation, independently of moral causes, are, at best, but poorly palliated by very large and frequently-repeated doses. The same observation must, I am persuaded, hold good with respect to gastric disturbances; those only will be really cured by it which have arisen during too great or too long-continued mental exertion. The bodily symptoms being similar to those produced by this drug, I should regard it as an indispensable remedy when there are the following moral conditions :— 1. A crowd of impulses to act, to move, to be busy, which, without any distinct purpose to effect, keeps the pa- tient in continual motion ; a state of unrest, which gives the appearance of hurry and discontent to all, his conduct. 2. The opposite of the foregoing condition; not the calm- ness of deportment which occurs when the mind is in health- ful contemplation, but an apathy indicative of a privation of motive or purpose; a state verging upon, and often ending ' in, perfect imbecility. Or, 3. Errors and defects of perception. The erroneous per- ceptions in which I have seen nitrate useful, have been :—1, As to time; the patient constantly fearing he should be too late, and supposing that one or two hours had elapsed, when not more than a quarter or an eighth of the supposed time had passed, and this all the while, night and day, for many weeks together; and 2, Errors as to the velocity of gait, the patient supposing that he was walking very rapidly when he was in fact moving but very slowly indeed. Moreover, I should regard the nitrate as the remedy, (other indications existing for its use,) in all severe commo- tions of the system arising from too great acuteness of the perceptive organs : c. g., certain forms of epilepsia and chorea. It is, I think, probable, that silver will be found as strictly adapted to the cure of morbid perceptions, and their con- comitant disturbances in the digestive, motor, and genital apparatus, as gold is to the removal of diseased affections, and their consensual motory and genital diseases. However the reader may regard the foregoing speculations of Muller, he cannot, if lie be a thorough student of Hahnemann, per- mit them to have the slightest weight with him in the choice or rejection of the nitrate of silver as a remedy for a case in hand; they are beyond the limits of possible testimony, and for all known purposes of the homoeopathic art they 94 ARGENTUM NITRICUM. would be useless, even if demonstrably true, because we have no possible means of knowing when the pneumo-gastric nerve or the abdominal ganglia are the essential site of disease."—Ed.] GENERAL SYMPTOMS.— Great debility and weariness in the lower limbs the whole afternoon, as after a long journey on foot, with sick feeling, dread of labour, drowsiness, chilli- ness, and sickly appearance.

The stomach was perforated where the poison act- ed intensely. The mucous membrane of the intestines, es- pecially of the stomach, was covered with a whitish coagulum, or was red and congested, or parts of it were cauterized and transformed into white-gray or brownish-black scurfs ; those parts were sometimes seen perforated. The liver was soft- ened, large and flabby. The kidneys exhibited a lead-colour.

Dr.Gray.—"It is important that practitioners should point their attention to the question, whether drugs which are isomorphous are not, on that account, allies hi the treatment of disease; thus arsenic, phosphorus, and antimony, being eminent instances of the isomorphous relation, and being strikingly analogous in their pathogenesy, is it not very pro- bable that these two similitudes depend on the same element in each, namely, an identical original force or power 1 We find these drugs chemically uniting with other substances in precisely the same atoflf'c' proportions, and producing crys- tals in each case of the same form. The analogies between these drugs as to their pharmaco- toxic results, already very striking, would doubtless have been still more so, if either the simple form in each case had been tried on the healthy, or what is the same thing, the same combination, as for example, the sulphuret of each had been in use for the pathogenesy. It is quite possible we may, by looking in this direction diligently, find the rich vein of classification upon which Boenninghausen has empirically struck so eagerly, and yet with so little satisfaction to his colleagues."—Ed.

Pathological Anatomy.—The bodies of those who have been poisoned with Arsenic, generally exhibit two opposite conditions: either they resist putrefaction for a long time, and finally look like mummies, or else they decay rapidly ; at first Arsenic seems indeed to promote putrefaction, but after a while putrefaction is arrested by it; according to the expe- rience of some observers, bodies that have been poisoned suddenly by large doses of Arsenic, decay rapidly ; bodies that have been poisoned slowly by small doses, become dry like mummies. In some cases, bodies which decayed slowly had not be- come very livid even on the third day after death; there was an entire absence of cadaverous spots, no trace of pu- trefaction anywhere, no very offensive smell of corruption on opening the abdominal cavity, and a complete absence of, or only a moderate rigidity ; in some cases, however, the body soon became rigid, the muscles lost their irritability, the fingers and toes were violently contracted and bent back- wards, and the mouth was tightly closed.—As respects the mummy-like desiccation of bodies which were disinterred a long time after death, the following appearances have gene- rally been discovered : offensive smell of the body, like old cheese; parchment-like dryness of the skin, like that of a 6* 130 ARSENICUM. mummy ; brown mahogany colour of the skin, especially dark-brown colour of the face and abdomen; gray, leather- like, indurated skin, having a stiff and firm feel; peculiar toughness and hardness of the cutis, offering the same re- sistance to the knife as the crust of an old cheese.—The adi- pose tissue is transformed into a mass resembling lard or cheese.—Striking toughness and dryness of the muscles which have preserved their shape, and look only a little paler than the muscles of a recent subject.—Destruction of the soft parts of the nose.—Transformation of the thoracic and abdominal viscera into a brownish, half desiccated, leather-like, firm substance, without any definite form.— Small, shrivelled heart.—The omentum, liver, and kidneys look like tallow. The rapid decay after death has been found accompanied witfy the following phenomena: Intolerable smell of the body, especially when opening the abdominal cavity ; the epider- mis had disappeared entirely in every part of the body.— Dissolution of the whole body into a kind of ichor.—Papes- cent softening of the muscles of the thigh.—Green, yellow, or black coloration, of single parts, of the whole or of only a part of the face, particularly of the genital organs.—Ex- tensive, thick, white or gray musty covering of the whole body, or only of the face, hands and feet, wTith a black and putrified integument underneath.

To prepare the gas for medicinal purposes, mix equal parts of arsenic and tin or zinc with muriatic acid in a gas-retort; warm the mixture gently; by passing it through boiled water a series of attenuations may be made, and the gas may be administered by olfaction. Antidotes.—The gas is strongly absorbed by the oil of turpentine, which is thickened by the gas and deposits white chrystals; the oil of tur- pentine might perhaps prove an antidote to the gas.

[CLINICAL REMARKS.—Hahnemann.—" I have cured, by means of gold, several cases of melancholy in persons who earnestly thought of killing themselves. They took in all about the Tf^ or Tf „ part of a grain of gold. I have also cured several other important affections which will be found enumerated among the symptoms of gold, and I doubt not that much higher triturations than those which I em- ployed, would have been sufficient for obtaining the same results. Shortly after closing these introductory remarks, I had an opportunity of convincing myself that TJi^ part of a grain of "old wiil manifest a most powerful curative action, espe- cially in cancer of the palate and nasal bones consequent upon the abuse of the acidulated preparations of mercury. 144 AURUM. The gold symptoms analogous to these artificial affections will be found among the subsequent symptoms.* Farther trituration and dilution develops and dynamises the power of gold still more, so that I now use, very often, only the smallest part of a grain of the decillionth potency. In the following affections, gold has been found especially useful:— Hypochondriasis; melancholy ; loathing of life; dispo- sition to suicide; rush of blood to the head; cancer of the palate bones and nasal bones; obscuration of sight by black spots hovering before the eyes; toothache from rush of blood to the head, with heat in the head; inguinal hernia; indura- tion of the testes of long standing; prolapsus and induration of the uterus ; rush of blood to the chest; falling down un- consciously, with the face becoming blue; attack of suffoca- tion, with severe constrictive dyspnoea ; injuries inflicted by the abuse of quicksilver; pains in the bones, at night; no- dosities of the gout."

Calcarea acts a long while. Calcarea generally acts well after nitric acid, when the action of this drug, although ap- parently homoeopathically indicated, had been rather unfa- vourable ; on the other hand, nitric acid relieves the unpleas- ant symptoms of the homoeopathically chosen calcarea, and imparts to its action a beneficent character. Nausea conse- quent upon the use of calcarea, is specifically counteracted by smelling of the spirits of nitre, which act even better in this case than camphor. Other disagreable symptoms of CALCAREA CARBONICA. 233 calcarea are relieved by smelling of nux vomica. Calcarea is frequently useful after sulphur, especially when the pupils are prone to become dilated. Calcarea generally is indispensable and curative when the catamenia appear a few days before the period, especially when the flow of blood is considerable. But if the catame- nia appear at the regular period or a little later, calcarea al- most never is useful, even if the catamenia should be rather profuse. In affections of persons advanced in age, calcarea, even after other intermediate remedies, can scarcely be repeated with advantage ; a dose which is given after another without any previous intermediate remedy, is almost always prejudi- cial ; in eases of children, however, several doses may be giv- en in succession, provided the remedy continues to be indi- cated ; the younger the children, the more frequently may the remedy be repeated." Noack and Trinks.—"According to Koch,Calcarea acts es- pecially upon the mucous membranes, on the fibrous and osseous system, on the nervous system, on the serous tissues, on the ven- ous and also the lymphatic system of the abdomen, and upon the skin. Calcarea is especially suitable to the venoso-hamorr- hoidal, plethoric, or the lymphatic, slow and heavy, or to the scro- phulous, rickety constitution, especially when there is a predomi- nant disposition to fluent coryza, cold and diarrhoea; or it is par- ticularly adapted to frail individuals, being poorly fed, or also to such as had, in their young years, a marked disposition for growing fat and stout. In general, Calcarea is especially use- ful to the young organism ; it corresponds more than any other remedy, to diseases of the reproductive system, which are the basis of all the diseases inherent in the first age of man ; it may therefore be used, with especial benefit, in all scrophulous diseases, or in the diseases of new-born children, such as oph- thalmia, muscular and nervous weakness, acidity of the sto- mach. Calcarea is likewise suitable for the diseases of fe- males, especially when the menses are too abundant and fre- quent ; according to Hahnemann, Calcarea is indispensable, when the menses appear too soon and are too profuse, whereas Calcarea is almost always prejudicial when the menses appear at or after the proper time ; according to Lobethal, Calcarea is, in the former case, a beneficial remedy, which speedily and thoroughly cures affections resulting from menstrual irregu- larities, such as muscular weakness, excessive irritability of the nervous system, leucorrhcea. Calcarea is suitable for fan- cied diseases, for Hysteria, Hypochondria, Melancholia, un- easiness, anguish, despondency, whining mood, peevishness, 234 CALCAREA CARBONICA. angriness, renouncing all hope of recovery, nervous weakness resulting from Onanism, muscular weakness, difficulty of chil- dren of learning to walk.

CAMPH.—Hahnemann's Materia Medica Pura, L—Duration of Ac- tion. ? Compare with—Canth., Cham., Cocc, Hyos., Kal., Lauroc., Op., Puis., Rhus., Stram., Verat. Antidotes.—Spir. nitr, dulc__Coffee and alcohol increase the effects of Camph.—Camph. is said to increase the action of Nitr.—According to Hahnemann's experience, Camph. is no antidote against the violent effects of Ign.—Op. is an antidote to Camph.; on the other hand, Camph. is a great preserver of life in cases of poisoning by Op.— Camph. is antidotal to a number of vegetable drugs, especially such as have a drastic effect and cause vomiting and diarrhoea, paleness of countenance, coldness of the extremities, and loss of consciousness. Camph., as an antidote, should be administered in large and frequently repeated doses. [CLINICAL REMARKS.—According to Hahnemann, Camph., when applied to the skin, producing a kind of ery- sipelatous inflammation, it may be applied externally to si- milarly inflamed parts, provided the erysipelas, irradiating over the skin and disappearing momentarily on pressure, is a mere external symptom of a sudden internal disease, the other symptoms of which correspond to those of Camph. In the Siberian influenza, when it appears amongst us at the time when the hot weather has already set in, Camph. may be used as a palliative ; it is an excellent palliative on account of the disease having a short duration, and ought to be given in frequent and progressively-increased doses in water, as taught above. In. this way, Camph. does not shorten the course of the disease, but deprives it of its danger, and diminishes its intensity until it reaches its termination. (One dose of Nux v., one pellet of the thirtieth potence, when homoeopathically indicated, frequently cures the dis- ease in a couple of hours.) Vertigo, loss of consciousness, and coldness of the body, appear to be primary symptoms of a dose of Camph., and point to a diminished afflux of blood to those parts wdiich are distant from the heart; whereas the rush of blood to the head, heat in the head, &c, are symp- toms denoting a reaction of the vital powers, just as forcibly as the former symptoms denoted their diminished action. Slight and recent inflammations, which have come on very suddenly, may therefore be removed by the palliating, cool- ing effects of Camph., old inflammations never. The con- tinued, or even the frequently-repeated use of Camph., fre- quently brings on an obstinate ophthalmia, corresponding to 258 camphora. the permanency inherent in the reaction of the organism. I (Hahnemann) am not prepared to deny the homoeopathi- city of external applications of Camph. to inflamed eyes in acute cases; but I cannot advocate it, for the reason that I never use external applications in the treatment of oph- thalmia.] [Dr. Gray.—The sufferings which eminently indicate Camphor, are those usually called asphyxia, " sinking of the forces ;" paroxysms of embarrassment of the respiration and circulation, with coldness of the surface and extremities, for the most part attended by tremors or even severe cramps in the muscular system, and cold sweats, especially about the head and neck, If this or a similar state be connected with catarrhal discharges, or with diarrhoea, the indication for Camph. is strengthened. It seems to me that the manifold antidotal virtues of this drug are owing to its wonderful control over the pneu- mogastric nerve as its primary affinity with the living organ- ism. I have found it often efficacious in interrupting the development of paroxysms of epilepsy, for which end I have given it in one or two drop doses every three to five minutes, during the premonitory symptoms of a fit, contin- uing the exhibition of it till these were fully subdued. Cam- phor, as is well known, is very efficacious when administered by olfaction, but does not sustain dynamization.] GENERAL SYMPTOMS.—Stupefaction of the senses, resembling a swoon.

Antidotes.—Bry., Chin., Ipec.—It antidotes : Quinine. This vegetable drug has been very popular in many parts of our country as a specific for dropsy. In the essays of Drs. Parrish, Knapp and Griscom (allopathic), cases are cited confirmatory of its popular reputation. Dr. H. D. Paine, of Albany, in a note to the Editor, says : " It is not less popular (in some sections of Western New-York) in the cure of diarrhoeas and intestinal hemor- rhages than it is for dropsies in your neighbourhood. In a recent case of hemorrhage of the bowels, which came under my care, the Apocynum had been administered with decided benefit; but its allopathic repetition in increased doses was followed by an aggravation to an alarming extent of the very predicament it first relieved, which it might have otherwise perfectly cured." My former colleague, Dr. Gray, and myself, published in 1835 the following curative results in our practice : 1. In two cases of ascites, which succeeded the use of im- moderate doses of Quinine; 2. In a case of anasarca succeeding scarlet-fever ; 3. And in one of extensive oedema, especially manifest on the abdomen, attended with griping pains in the same, in a consumptive patient. f ~ t <■ j t tun l* t«x,*^ WrtA; - . / Since then, in our experience, also in that of others, it has cured many, and palliated very many cases of ascites and hydrothorax.—Ed.] 51.—CANNABIS SATIVA.

"Excessive debility, with great disposition to sweat, during motion and sleep. "Lameness, with difficult Avalking which tires one out soon, as if the legs were tooheaA'y. Great sinking of strength. \ Note by Hahnemann.—The weakness alluded to in this paragraph, as if caused by a great loss of animal fluids, the symptoms indicating a disturbance in the digestive organs, the ailments after a meal, the easily excited sweat, especially on the back, during motion and sleep, and the affections of the head, constitute precisely that kind of weakness for which Cinch, is a specific, and which affects, without almost any excep- tion, persons who have lost a portion of their strength by hemorrhages and frequent venesection, galactorrhcea, excessive lactation, coition, onan- ism, involuntary emission of semen, profuse natural or artificial sAveat in disease, natural or artificial diarrhoea. When Cinch, is given for any other kind of weakness, which is not the disease itself, its exhibition may be followed by the most pernicious consequences, and may even endanger life. Indeed, even in these cases, it produces an excitement, but it is not a natural excitement, it is an overstraining of the vital powers of the pa- tient, which may be followed by a perfect collapse, or may entail upon the patient a cachectic condition of the system which it is either difficult or frequently impossible to cure. 328 CHIN/. * Trembling debility, -with dilatation of the pupils.
