Characteristics (Adrenalinum)
Adrenalin has cured a number of cases of Addison's disease and has arrested others.
The leading features of this affection may be taken as guides for its use :
Bronzing of skin ;
Loss of strength ;
Wasting ;
Exceedingly rapid pulse.
It has cured a case of hmaturia accompanied by pain in the adrenal region.
It has been used locally in cases of hypermia of the conjunctiva, dissipating it almost immediately, and thus
rendering operations possible.

It appears to possess a very powerful local action over dilated blood-vessels.

When injected into the circulation blood pressure rises, the arteries being contracted.

The general muscular system is affected, a slight stimulus producing prolonged contraction.

Aranearum Tela. (Sarcode)

Cobweb (of black spider found in barns, cellars, and dark places).
Tincture or trituration.
Clinical (Aranearum tela)
Sleeplessness.
Characteristics (Aranearum tela)
Cobweb has been used as a remedy from ancient times.
It has also been experimented with on healthy persons.
It very rapidly lowers the frequency of the pulse rate.
In some it has produced "a calm and delightful state of feeling, followed by a disposition to sleep. "
"The most delicious tranquillity, resembling the action of opium, and followed by no bad effects. "
Twenty grains given to an old and infirm asthmatic produced "slight but pleasant delirium. "
Muscular energy is increased, could not be kept in bed, but danced and jumped about the room all night.

Characteristics (Calcarea carbonica ostrearum)
Calcarea is one of the greatest monuments of Hahnemann's genius. His method of preparing insoluble
substances brought to light in this instance a whole world of therapeutic power formerly unknown.
Moreover, Calcarea is one of the polychrest remedies, and ranks with Sulphur and Lycopodium at the head of
the antipsorics. It is absolutely essential to a correct appreciation of the homopathic materia medica that

these three medicines should be thoroughly known, as these are in a sense the standards around which the
rest are grouped. All three have a very wide range and deep action.
They have many symptoms in common, but Calc. is somewhat sharply distinguished from Sulphur in that it is a
chilly remedy, the patient seeking warmth, whilst the Sulphur patient is < by heat, and > by cold. Calc. has cold,
clammy feet, "as if there were damp stockings on" ; Sulphur has characteristically hot, sweaty feet. The
"sinking sensation" common to all three is most marked with Sulphur at 11 a. m. , with Lycopod. at 4 p. m. ,
with Calcarea at any time.
Calcarea is closely allied to Belladonna, Nux, Puls. , and Rhus in its action. It follows well Sulph. and Nit. ac. , to
both of which it is complementary. It is inimical to Bryonia, and should not be given immediately before or after
that medicine. Like many of the other carbonates, Calc. carb. corresponds to persons of soft fibre with
tendency to be fat.
"This remedy is particularly adapted to the real Leucophlegmatic Constitution. Where we find a large head,
large features, pale skin, with a chalky look, and (in infants) open fontanelles, we may think strongly of Calc. c.
" (Guernsey).
The scrofulous constitution embraces a large number of Calcarea's characteristic effects : fat children rather
bloated than solid, pale but flushing easily. Fair ; slow in movement ; of irregular growth, large heads, with
wide-open fontanelles ; large abdomens ; irregular and partial sweats : the head sweats profusely, wetting the
pillow for a space around the head ; enlarged and hard lymphatic glands. Icy coldness in abdomen. In addition
there are night terrors ; child wakes at 2 or 3 a. m. screaming, cannot be made to understand, remembers
nothing of it in the morning.
Children are slow in teething and walk late. Sourness is one of the characteristic notes of Calc. c. ; the body is
sour ; taste sour ; sour stool and urine. All the symptoms are made worse by taking cold. In all cases where
there is improper nutrition and imperfect digestion, such as described above, and where there is chilliness,
aggravation from contact with water and from cold, cold, clammy feet and sinking sensations, Calcarea will
most likely prove the remedy.
Calc. also corresponds to ailments following losses of fluids, such as from self abuse ; and it corresponds to a
form of menorrhagia, the flow being excessive and the intervals shortened. Periods return too soon after
excitement. There is often pain in the breasts before the flow commences, as with Conium. But if the menses
are scanty or absent, and the Calc. characteristics of chilliness and cold, clammy feet are present, Calc. will
still be the remedy.
Suppression of menses in women of full habit after working in water. Bearing-down pains. Ovarian or uterine
pains, right side, extending down thighs ; < on reading or writing (left, Lil. t. ). In addition to the cold symptoms
there are sensations of heat and burning : heat in and on the vertex. In connection with this the sweat of the
head must be remembered. It occurs chiefly on occiput and forehead (that of Sil. is all over). There is >
uncovering during the heats (as with Lyc. and unlike Sil. ).
Burning in soles of feet at night ; burning in back of hands. The characteristic Calc. hand is soft, warm, and
moist ; a boneless hand. Also hands inclined to chap. There are copious night sweats, which may be sour or
odourless. Foot-sweat, sour or odourless. The sweats of Calc. give no relief. Bloody sweats. Among other heat
symptoms is hot breath, with heat in mouth. Rumination is among the Calc. effects. Nausea after drinking
water, even ever so little ; but not if iced.
The "sinking" sensation of Calc. has some modifications. There is ravenous hunger ; hunger and feeling of
emptiness immediately after a meal, and in the early morning. If he doesn't have his breakfast at the proper
time, a headache comes on. Craving for eggs ; for indigestible things, chalk, coal, &c. Nausea when fasting.
Sour eructations. Sour diarrha.
Sour body smell. Milk disagrees ; sour vomiting of large curds. Inability to swallow solids. Chronic disease of
left tonsil ; feeling of lump in left side of throat which he wants to swallow down. Pain from left tonsil to ear.
Semi-lateral swelling of tongue. The prosopalgia of Calc. is > warm fomentations, like Pul. Biliary colic : cutting
pain under right scapula running to right hypochondrium and epigastrium. Crawling in rectum as from worms.

Burning in rectum. Weight in lower rectum. Stools hard and pasty ; like chalk or clay offensive ; undigested.
Ardor urin ; offensive urine. Impotence penis cold and relaxed.
Calcarea is related to the pretubercular stage of phthisis ; it is more especially suited to affections of the right
apex. Stitching in chest and sides of chest when moving and when lying on affected side. The cough is
provoked by going into a cold room ; by chilliness. Tickling cough, sensation of feather in throat. I have cured
with Calc. a "fat cough" i. e. , a cough with easy expectoration of a little mucus and an arsenical cough
(brought on by sleeping in a room having an arsenical wallpaper) which waked the patient in the middle of the
night, causing him to sit up and cough till phlegm was raised.
Rattling in the chest ; miller's and stone-cutter's phthisis ; old suppurating cavities. Swelling of cervical and
bronchial glands. Scrofulous glands and scrofulous diseases of bones ; spinal curvature ; rickets. Swellings ;
false appearance of fat ; milk leg > by elevating the limb, < hanging it down. The same conditions mark the
sciatica of Calc. , which follows on working in water. Rheumatic and gouty conditions from wetting. Joints
crack and crepitate as if dry.
The skin is rough and scaly and inclined to chap. Rhagades. Chapped hands. Chilblains from wetting.
Eruptions. Cooper has cured with it psoriasis palmaris. Eruption behind right ear. Warts and polypi. Calc. is an
eminently sycotic medicine, as the early morning aggravation would indicate.
The mental and nervous systems of Calc. are no less remarkable than the bodily. The Calc. patient is slow in
movements (Sul. quick and active). The state of mind is one of apprehension. The patient fears she will lose her
reason, or that people will notice her mental confusion.
Fears she has some fatal disease, especially heart disease. Shuddering and dread as evening, draws near.
Sees visions on closing eyes (hence useful in delirium tremens). Cries out, twitches, grasps at flocks ; restless
and anxious though unconscious (nervous and typhoid fever) ; beside herself with anguish ; on the borders of
acute mania. Evil forebodings ; talks of Mice, rats, murders. Forgetful.
The epilepsy of Calc. has an aura spreading up from the solar plexus, in which case the convulsion comes on
immediately ; or it may be like a mouse running on the arm ; or it may run down from epigastrium into uterus or
limbs. The causes are fright, suppressed eruptions and discharges, sexual excesses. Rush of blood to head ; a
sensation of something rising up from epigastrium to head is very characteristic. Trembling, twitching ; internal
trembling sensation on awaking.
Fainting, coming on in the street with sensation of something rising from stomach to head. Talking = a feeling
of weakness which compels him to desist. Exertion or excitement = exhaustion, though he may feel well before.
Ascending = great weakness. Exhaustion in the morning.
Vertigo : tendency to fall to left ; to either side ; backward. Caused by turning head ; < looking upward ; going
(especially running) upstairs. Sensation as if in a dream. Calc. is one of the remedies that has been used for the
sensation of levitation. Aversion to darkness. Cloud coming over head. In sleep the mental symptoms come out
again : the patient is either abnormally sleepy or sleepless. Wakes 3 a. m. , and cannot get to sleep again ;
tosses about. Horrible phantasms.
The child wakes in the night screaming and cannot be pacified ; in the morning remembers nothing of it. Chews
and swallows in sleep. Frightful dreams of sickness, death, and smell of corpses.
Neuralgias and paralyses are among the Calc. effects. A remarkable case (of Dr. Mayntzer's) improved by Silic.
and cured by Calc. is quoted in Hom. League Tract, vol. ii. p. 108. A girl of nineteen had had for some months
neuralgic pains in both arms, coming on every evening, lasting all night, and being replaced during the day
with sensation of lameness and weakness. Pressure and movements aggravated. Hands trembling, numb,
fingers often remained opened out stiff and could not be bent.
The Silica symptoms are : "Tearing pains in upper arm. Pain as of dislocation at wrist. Cramp pain and
lameness of hand on slight exertion. Gone-to-sleep feeling of hands at night. Numbness and formication of
hands. Restlessness and trembling in right arm. "
The symptoms of Calc. are : "Bruised pain of arms on moving or grasping. Pain as if sprained in wrist, with
shooting and tearing in it when moved. Tearing in whole arm, shooting, tearing pain in upper arm and elbow.

Nocturnal tearing and drawing in arms. Spasmodic tearing pain on outer side of forearm from elbow to wrist.
Cramp in whole of one or other arm. Cramp in hands at night until she rises in morning. Cramp-like contraction
of fingers. Pain and weakness of hands ; trembling of hands in morning. Weakness and a kind of lameness of
arm. Fingers feel furry. " Both remedies were given, and great improvement occurred under Silic. , but as the
pain was not gone the patient took Calc. (which was only to be taken in case of need) on the fifth day. On the
sixth day the pain was gone "as if blown away," as the patient expressed it and no wonder ! It would be
difficult to find a closer simillimum. The general condition of the patient underwent a complete change for the
better at the same time. Both remedies were given in globules of 6th. Dr. Van den Neucker (H. Recorder, 1886,
p. 139) once cured a baker of paralysis of both arms with Calc. ; and also a case of paralysis with many
symptoms of locomotor ataxy in a lymphatic blonde girl of nineteen.
According to Guernsey Calc. is in general a right-side remedy. It affects specially right external head ; right eye
; right face ; right abdominal ring ; sexual organs right side ; right back ; right upper extremities. Left side neck
and nape of neck ; left chest ; left lower extremities. Complaints prevailing in inner parts. Among the
sensations of Calc. are : Pain as if the parts would burst, were pressed asunder, were pushed asunder ; as if
cold, damp stockings were on the feet. Creeping on the limbs like a mouse. Pain as if sprained in outer parts.
Sensation of dust in inner parts as the eye, bronchial tubes. Pricking, darting, jerking, trembling ; itching > by
scratching. It is often indicated in epilepsy, disposition to strain a part by lifting heavy things, pricking corns,
polypus, cysts, occurring in leucophlegmatic constitutions. Where a cold wind strikes the body and it
immediately runs to the teeth, causing them to ache. Ranula. Flatulence or gurgling in right hypochondrium.
Cramp in legs at 3 a. m. Hands chap from hard water.
Alexander Villers cured with Calc. c. 200 in rare doses a case combining many of the features of the remedy.
The patient, a lady, t. 20, very despondent through long-continued depressing circumstances, became very
nervous. She was companion to an exceedingly deaf lady, whose voice was high-pitched.
This, with the strain on her voice to make herself heard, caused headache through temples > by rapid motion of
head. Outdoor exercise was accompanied by hard pressure on chest, which only eructations seemed to relieve.
Bowels constipated. Menses every fortnight, with backache and great prostration. Under the remedy, repeated
at rare intervals, the menses came on monthly, headache and pressure on chest disappeared.
Among the Conditions of Calc. , dread of the open air ranks most prominently ; the least cold air goes right
through. Great sensitiveness to cold, damp air. Also cannot bear sun. The slightest change <. Dread of bathing
and water. There is inclination to stretch and put the shoulders back ; but straightening < rheumatism. Calc. is
hydrogenoid and sycotic sensitive to cold and damp and early morning aggravation. Warts and polypi also
point to the same constitutional state.
The Calc. patient generally feels better when constipated. The diarrha of Calc. is generally < in afternoon.
There is painless hoarseness < in morning. "The Calc. pains are most generally felt while lying in bed, or while
sitting ; they are felt in the parts upon which the body has been lying for a time" (Teste). There is < after
midnight and in early morning ; on awaking. Chill at 2 p. m. In the evening, 6 to 7, there is fever without chill, <
from working in water or bathing, < at full moon ; at new moon and at solstice. < After eating (smoked meats,
milk) ; when fasting. < By mental exertion (writing). < From pressure of clothes. < From lifting ; from stooping. <
Walking in open air, cold air, wet weather, to which he is very sensitive. < From letting limbs hang down. In
spite of the sensitiveness to cold, cannot bear sun. < From light in general ; from looking fixedly at any object ;
from looking upward ; from turning the head. Some symptoms are > inspiring fresh air ; and during heat,
uncovers. > After breakfast ; on rising from drawing up limbs ; from loosening garments. > In the dark when
lying on the back ; after lying down ; from rubbing, from scratching ; in dry weather ; wiping or soothing with
the hands ; from being touched. Great weakness on ascending, on walking, talking (chests feels weak), or
excitement.

Characteristics (Conchiolinum)
Observations made on workers in mother-of-pearl factories show that inhalation of the dust produces catarrh
of the respiratory organs, and, later on, inflammation of the ends of bones.
This always begins in the diaphyses, but may spread to the epiphyses. It always attacks young subjects.
First there is a more or less intense pain in the bone ; comes suddenly ; at first continuous ; later intermittent.
Soon after the appearance of the pain there is fever ; thirst ; loss of appetite ; sleeplessness ; dark-coloured
urine with sediment. Then swelling occurs.
The swelling always develops on one or the other end of a diaphysis, never in the middle of it nor in the
epiphysis.
The swelling has a clear, sharp margin ; it is extremely painful to the slightest touch ; at first soft, elastic and
slightly fluctuating, it may become as hard as a bone.
Suppuration may occur.
The bones that have been affected are lower jaw, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, fibula, tarsal, and
metatarsal bones.
I cured with Conch. 3 a delicate boy who at three different times had had pain in left knee.
The left inner condyle was swollen and tender. The cure was rapid and the general health much improved at the

Characteristics (Lac caninum)
Lac caninum is not a novelty in remedies. "Dioscorides, Rhasis, Pliny, and Sextus recommended it for the
removal of the dead ftus. Sammonicus and Sextus praise it in photophobia and otitis. Pliny claims that it
cures ulceration of the internal os. It was considered an antidote to deadly poisons. " (Quotation by Hering. )
Hering adds that the remedy was revived by Reisig, of New York, who used it successfully in the treatment of
diphtheria.
After Reisig the remedy was used by Bayard and Swan, to whose indefatigable exertions we owe the present
status of this medicine. Swan's potencies were prepared from Reisig's 17th.
The provings were made with the 30th and upwards and are published in a little volume by Swan and Berridge.
As in the case of Bufo, Castor equi, and other remedies of ancient times, homopathy has stepped in to
confirm the accuracy of the old observers. In the provings a large number of the symptoms were manifested in
the region of the throat, the effects being diagnosed as actual diphtheria in some instances.
It is in diphtheria, both as curative and prophylactic that Lac can. has won its greatest fame ; and the provings
and clinical experience have developed a grand characteristic in this and other affections an alternation of
sides, often very rapid. "Soreness of throat commences with a tickling sensation which causes constant cough
then a sensation of a lump on one side, causing constant deglutition this condition entirely ceases, only to
commence on the opposite side, and often alternates, again returning to its first condition ; these sore throats
are very apt to begin and end with the menses. "
This "alternation of sides" once led me to the cure of an eczematous condition of the eyelids in a child. The
child's aunt, who brought her to me, casually remarked that it often left one side entirely and went to the other
and then back again. Lac can. cleared it up in a very short time. Rheumatic and other affections having this
peculiarity of changing from side to side are very likely to be benefited by Lac can. From diphtheria, with its
fetid discharges, it is not a far step to ozna, and Lac can. has proved itself curative in a number of cases.
Corners of mouth and al nasi cracked. It has cured a case presenting the following characters : Crusts under
which grey matter forms. Throat bad, swallowing difficult ; mucous follicles swollen, covered with creamcoloured mucus. Nose bad ; feared destruction of bones. Bloody pus discharges several times a day. Bones of
nose sore to pressure. In addition to the changing sides characteristics Lac can. has : "Inflamed surfaces (of
throat) glistening. "
The same appearance when found on ulcerated surfaces in the skin is a leading indication for Lac can. The
mental symptoms are remarkable. One prover had delusions about snakes ; imagined she was surrounded by
them ; was afraid to close her eyes at night for fear of being bitten by a large snake which she imagined was
beside the bed. Awoke in the night with a sensation that she was lying on a large snake.
After menses, imagined all sorts of things about snakes. These snake-symptoms led to a cure. E. T. Balch (H.
P. , x. 286) asked for advice in this case : "Maud R. , 10, demi-brunette, of healthy parents, one and a half years
before fell forward and hurt her chest whilst playing. Nothing was thought of it at the time, but when brought to
Dr. Balch she was pale, emaciated, capricious, no desire for play. Sleep disturbed by frightful dreams, during

the day piteously begs her mother to take her, she is so afraid. She feels as though snakes were on her back. In
response to advice tendered one dose of Lac. can. 50m. was given, dry, and in twenty-four hours the child
became more lively and cheerful and very soon all abnormal sensations disappeared. Another mental curiosity
which has proved a useful pointer is this : "Imagines he wears some one else's nose. " Restlessness,
nervousness, and prostration appear in the provings and show the relation of the remedy to diphtheritic
paralysis as well as to diphtheria itself. In one prover the symptoms occurred periodically : < in morning of one
day and < in afternoon of next. Wandering rheumatic pains.
The sensation of lightness or levitation was noticed seemed to walk on air ; not to touch the bed when lying.
Cannot bear one part of her body to touch another ; must even keep her fingers apart.
The symptoms in general were < at night.
< After sleep.
Cold application > pain in upper jaw and teeth ; and cold water gave momentary > to sore throat.
Cold washing = pain in herpetic eruption.
Cold winds and cold, sharp air <.
Flexion >, extension <.
Going up and down stairs = pain in heart.
Pains in ankles, forehead, and upper jaw were > by warmth.
Rest and lying down > most symptoms ; motion <.
Touch < (external throat ; breasts, causing sexual excitement).
Walking = leucorrha, < sores between labia and thighs.

disease in which they occurred appended in brackets.

Characteristics (Lac felinum)
This is another of the remedies introduced by Swan. The full pathogenesis appears in Med. Visitor, Aug. , 1893,
part having already appeared in H. W. , XVIII. 15l.
The greatest number of the symptoms were experienced in the head and eyes, and many of these have been
confirmed.
Here is one from Swan ;
"Terrible headache penetrating the left eyeball to centre of brain, with pain in left supra-orbital region extending
through brain to right vertex" (H. W. , XVIII. 429).
Many eye cases are on record. Swan benefited this case ; "Pain in eyes back into head, extremely sharp, with a
sensation as if the eyes extended back. Great photophobia ; any continued glare causes the pain" (H. W. , XVII.
54). Berridge reports this case ; "Mr. H. , 37. Left eye inflamed three weeks ; deep red ; photophobia ; on left
segment of cornea an ulcer.
For three nights pain like a knife running from left eye to left occiput, on lying down, especially on left side.
Burning in left temple, near eye, < at night. Lac. fel. 40m. (Fincke) every four hours. Eye was better next day,
and steadily got well. The pain ceased first. "

Berridge remarks that "< lying on left side" has been verified by him in another case (Lach. has < lying on
painful side ; Zinc. < lying on unpainful side H. P. , vi. 376). One of the provers took 17th, and afterwards 1m.
(Fincke) potency. Another prover took the 200th.
Among the verified symptoms are ; Morbid conscientiousness ; heaviness in forehead ; scalded sensation on
tongue ; absence of appetite.
The eye affections are mostly accompanied by shooting pains from eye backwards. Styes were present in
some cases. (In the Schema cured symptoms are bracketed or have the name of the disease in which they
occurred appended in brackets. )

Characteristics (Lac vaccinum)
Lac vac. was proved by J, C. Boardman, of Trenton, New jersey (H. W. , XIX. 402).
Swan's 200th potency was used. I have given the symptoms in the Schema. To these might be added the
effects of milk on persons intolerant of it.
The headaches, biliousness, and constipation frequently induced by milk are well known. The headaches were
well brought out in the proving.
Milk frequently aggravates rheumatism ; and Burnett has observed that children who drink much milk after
their teeth are grown become very liable to colds.
The keynote of Lac can. is alternation of sides ; in Lac vac. the symptoms appeared both sides simultaneously.
The great thirst and excessive flow of urine suggest diabetes. Swan gives a brief proving (H. P. , ix. 252) and
some cures. The cures were :
1. Short rheumatic pains in knee and ankles on walking ; passing fetid flatus.
2. Fever at night followed by profuse sweat all over ; the fever was preceded by chilly feeling, beginning at
shoulders, then running up from feet to head ; headache.
3. Flat white ulcers on tongue, sensitive, covered with white slimy mucus, extending to sides of cheeks.
4. Brown crusts, having greasy appearance, especially in corners of mouth, like "butter-sores. "
5. Fulness of head, as if too large and heavy.
6. Vertigo.
7. Eructations and passing of much flatus.
The symptoms of Swan's proving (by Miss H. from the 1m. of Fincke) are included in the pathogenesis.

enough to feel her thoughts or express them ; she could only give direct short answers to questions ; as for
writing her symptoms, she had no physical power to do it. In 2 h. all symptoms subsided gradually, but still
there was a general trembling or quivering of whole body as well as the fingers. In 6 1/2 h. nearly relieved,

Characteristics (Oleum jecoris aselli)
The number of people who "cannot take cod-liver oil" is very great ; which means that Ol. j. a. is a pathogenetic
as well as a curative agent.
Neidhard proved it and elicited some very definite symptoms, and to these have been added effects, curative
and pathogenetic, observed on patients.
The oil contains a large number of proximate principles of great complexity, to which its specific medicinal
properties are due.
Recent developments of sarcopathy mark out Ol. j. a. as a liver remedy, an ally of Cholesterine, and this the
provings confirm.
Very decided pains in the liver and liver region with great soreness were noted in Neidhard's provings, and
these symptoms give one of the keynotes of the remedy Soreness.
Not only the liver, but the throat, chest, abdomen, kidneys, ovaries, joints, and back are all sore ; the spine is
sore as in spinal irritation.
Another keynote is the occurrence of palpitation of the heart as a concomitant of other symptoms ; with cough
; with short breath.
Allied to this is a "sense of fluttering, like the movements of a watch, commencing in region of sacrum,
gradually rising to occiput, and in its ascent affecting abdomen and chest, so that the patient is transfixed,
unable to move hand or foot ;" also "creeping sensation all over with a rush of blood to heart. "
The reputation of Ol. j. a. as a remedy for phthisis and scrofulous affections is shown by the provings to be
specific, whatever food-value the oil may possess in addition.
"Dry, hacking cough night-cough ; cough with tough expectoration, yellow or white soreness of chest,
especially on coughing ; sharp stitches here and there, through chest ; burning through to back ; burning in
spots," are among the symptoms experienced. The fever symptoms are strongly marked, both hectic and
intermittent.
One very characteristic feature is :

"Fever < towards evening with burning in palms. "

Chills running down the back.
Feet constantly cold.
Ol. j. a. is a chilly medicine : sensitive to draughts ; feels as if continually taking cold.
The cough is < from exposure to cold ; < in damp weather.
The sensitiveness to chill and damp is part of the intermittent fever action of the remedy, and along with it is
affection of the spleen, which is the seat of several symptoms. During the chill and before it there is thirst.
When the fever came on the cough was >. The yellowness of Ol. j. a. appears not only in the expectoration, but
in the coating of the tongue, yellow mucus from sore throat, and a yellow Leucorrha.
On the female sexual organs Ol. j. a. has a powerful action, increasing the menstrual flow and restoring it when
in abeyance. Burnett has shown that ringworm generally has its constitutional basis in a consumptive habit,
and Bacil. has again and again proved the remedy.
This is paralleled in a local use of the anti-phthisic Ol. j. a. which was taught me by Dr. No Walker.
In recent ringworm the application of the plain oil at bedtime is at once the most innocent and most effectual of
local measures that I know. Before the application the part should be washed well with soft soap.
Another use of the remedy taught me by the same authority is as a general application in the case of
emaciated, dwarfish, chilly babies and children. A nightly rubbing with the oil soon revolutionises their
condition.
The nutrition of the skin is improved and the medicinal properties of the oil are absorbed without any tax being
put on the organs of digestion. Burnett says olive oil acts as well. That may be, but it does not act better. I have
no comparative figures to refer to.
When the symptoms indicate Ol. j. a. it should certainly have the preference. Defective nutrition ; anmia ;
weakness and emaciation ; deficiency of animal heat. Children who cannot take milk.
The headaches are usually frontal ; over right eye ; bursting after coughing. Other symptoms are : Red face
(also in hectic). Voracious appetite. Foul breath.
Symptoms go in all directions from above down ; from below up ; from front to back ; and from back to front.
One curious symptom was abnormal growth of hair on the face of a woman. Another was passage of mucus
from urethra, with burning, during stool.
Symptoms are < by touch ; by riding ; by a fall. < By motion ; raising arm ; stooping ; bending side inwards ;
walking. Laughing < cough. Lying down = oppressed feeling ; and < cough. Coughing = soreness of chest ;
headache. Fever > cough. < From draught of air ; exposure to cold ; living in cold, damp localities.

Characteristics (Oophorinum)
On the analogy of the action of Thyroidin in myxdema, Ooph. has been used with much success in cases of
suffering following excision of the ovaries, and for the climacteric sufferings of women.
I have had good results with it in such cases in the lower triturations.

It has been suggested as a remedy in ovarian cysts.

E. Saalfeld (quoted H. W. , XXXII. 296), in view of Landau's observations on the effect of Ooph. on the nervous
sufferings of women at the climacteric, gave Ooph. to women suffering from acne rosacea and other skin
disorders of the climacteric.
A woman, 20, after double oophorectomy had lichen-like eczema.
This was greatly relieved by Ooph. as well as the accompanying nervous symptoms and adiposity.
He obtained good results also in some non-climacteric cases as :
(1) Acne and seborrha in chlorotic women.
(2) A case of prurigo which had lasted from childhood in a woman of 26.
In this case the itching was > for a short time after the period.
This > during menses may prove a keynote, and relates the remedy to Zinc.

Orchitinum.
A Sarcode.
Spermin.
Testicular Extract.
Trituration.
Clinical (Orchitinum)
Climacteric, sufferings of.
Debility.
Senility.
Sexual weakness.
Characteristics (Orchitinum)
The use of a testicular extract in cases of senile decay and nervous breakdown was first proposed by BrownSequard, and formed one of the examples by which he illustrated his doctrine of "inner secretions. "
He maintained that the various glands of the organism had, in addition to their obvious secretion or excretion,
an additional secretion which was not obvious, but which materially contributed to the welfare of the organism.
The doctrine is now generally accepted, and the use of the Sarcodes in general medicine is based upon it.
Homopathy can use these remedies in both ways.
Orch. has been used with success, in the triturations, in climacteric sufferings ; and in old-school practice in
the sequel of ovariotomy, in cases of debility, sexual weakness, and premature senile decay.

Swan's paper was read before the Denver Homopathic Club, and published in a number of Med. Visitor, the
date of which I have lost, with additions from H. P. , XIII. 323.
Under Calc. ov. test. I have given an account of the action of Egg-shells in leucorrha, and Swan adds that it
has an ancient reputation for "immoderate flux of the courses" (like our Calc. c. ), and for nocturnal enuresis.
The Egg-shells were anciently used powdered fresh or roasted, and as such were and are much used in the
treatment of oxyuris vermicularis.

Swan prepared the membrane. As an ovarian product it might be expected that all parts of the egg should have
an action on ovaries. It is recognised that as an article of diet in some forms eggs have a stimulating effect on
the sexual functions.
The provings of Ovi g. p. bear out this relation. The first prover was a young lady who was known to be unable
to bear any extra exertion, but the details of this were not known until after she had taken the first dose of the c.
m. sent by Swan.
This had the effect of removing suddenly the whole of the trouble which prevented her from exerting herself
a left ovarian pain extending down the left limb, brought on some years before, when she felt something "give
way" in the groin whilst shovelling snow.
The sensitiveness to exertion never returned, though the dose created much disturbance of the generative
functions before it had finished its action.
The symptoms of the second prover, a married woman who took the 30th, confirmed the symptoms, both cured
and pathogenetic, experienced by the first.
This prover had also hmorrhage from the rectum ; incontinence of urine whilst sneezing or coughing ; postnasal catarrh.
Yingling contributed this case to Hahn. Adv. (quoted Amer. Hom. , XXII. 412) :
H. E. , 42, blonde, had these symptoms : A dull, hard, heavy aching in region of heart ; generally about apex ;
extending at times to left ovarian region. Occasionally a cutting which extends to base of heart and prevents
breathing ; after the cutting a sensation as if something went "thud," after which pain seems to recommence at
apex. At times heavy aching in base of heart, which makes breathing very difficult.
Only bending backward > respiration. Ovi g. p. (a preparation of Fincke's) one dose, dry on the tongue. In a
very few minutes the pain was all gone. "Feels splendidly since taking the remedy. " Without knowing what it
was, said she had "a taste of fresh eggs in the mouth since taking the powder. "
Among the noteworthy features of the provings are :
Suddenness of onset and ceasing ; both provers manifested these. Jerkings on going to sleep and in sleep ;
heat in sacrum, the rest of the body being cool.
The bearing-down sensations in the uterus were very marked. Pushing and rushing feeling in womb, as if blood
might rush out in torrents (which sometimes happened and sometimes did not).
Sensation as if something turned over inside.
The symptoms were :
< by movement ; reaching lifting arms ; over-exerting.
< At menses : before, during, and after though some symptoms were > when flow appeared.
> Bending backward (dyspna in cured case).
> jarring or beating breast (dyspna).
< Pressure and touch (abdomen, breasts, ovaries) ; intolerance of pressure of clothing.
< Descending stairs.
< At full moon.

Characteristics (Pulmo vulpis)
Recent discoveries in the uses of tissues and organs as remedies have thrown light on many curiosities of
ancient medicine.
As the fox is probably the longest-winded of all animals, the doctrine of signatures pointed to his lungs as a
likely remedy for short breath.
Grauvogl has put on record this case (quoted Hom. News, XXV. 490) :
Woman, 65, much reduced in flesh by a persistent condition of humid asthma. It commenced with, chronic
catarrh and symptoms of dema of the lungs.
Strong, sonorous bubbling, now rattling, now whistling sounds over whole chest, and at some distance away ;
perceptible also to hand laid on chest.

Accelerated short breath amounting to suffocation, even without corresponding heaving of the chest,
frequently with cough and inability to expectorate.
[Sometimes, in light cases, there is no catarrh present, and only persistent shortness of breath, becoming a
paroxysm of asthma on the least bodily exertion. ]
The patient could only live sitting up, bent forward ; constant lividity of face, lips, and extremities, and dropsy
of legs.
Heart's pulsations irregular, and death seemed imminent. Pulmo vulpis 1x gr. i. was given, and repeated in an
hour.
Visible improvement set in but without increased expectoration.
After a third powder the patient was able to lie down, and fell into a refreshing sleep lasting several hours. In
eight days she engaged in her domestic duties.

Characteristics (Thyrodinum)
When the treatment of myxdema and allied diseases by "Thyroid feeding" was introduced by Murray in 1892,
many accidents occurred from overdosing. A large number of the pathogenetic effects I collected (H. W. , XXIX.
and subsequent volumes) and arranged in Schema form (H. W. , XXIX. 251) along with cured symptoms, giving
the authority and reference for each. In my subjoined Schema I have omitted the references.
Cured symptoms I have bracketed, unless otherwise indicated. Marc Jousset collected other symptoms in L'Art
Mdical, and I have added some of these, together with others from later observers. The first published case
treated with an attenuation was one of my own (H. W. , XXIX. 111) : Eleanor N. , 17, suffered from fits of
"hystero-epilepsy" for ten months, following a chill. At first the fits had been frequent, latterly only before the
menstrual period.
The fits sometimes lasted half an hour, were preceded by swelling of limbs and face, which sometimes
occurred without the subsequent fit. She bit her tongue in the fits. Other symptoms were : pains in legs, back,
and head (occiput and vertex) ; swelling of throat compelling her to loosen her clothes. Menses after an
absence of four months returned excessively. Much left ovarian pain and tenderness. Despondent, feeble heart
sounds ; pulse 120 ; could not lie down for palpitation and headache. Legs so weak she could not stand.

Thyroid very slightly enlarged. Constipation. Sleepless, has had to take hypnotics regularly of late. A brother of
the patient was epileptic. Lach. did some good, especially improving the sleep ; but no solid progress was
made till Thyr. 3x, gr. ii. thrice daily, was given on November 1st. On November 4th she could lie down flat ; on
the 15th she could walk with assistance ; on the 29th the headache had ceased ; on December 6th she could
walk alone quite well and the bowels acted without enema for the first time. The mental condition improved, the
prominence of the eyeballs disappeared, and she left the hospital perfectly well before Christmas. With Thyr.
1m F. C. Skinner cured a case of dysmenorrha in a goitrous subject. In a case of valvular heart disease
following rheumatism in a man, 24, Thyr. 3x, gr. ii. thrice daily, quickly relieved a squeezing pain at the heart
with inability to lie down and materially hastened the patient's recovery. The action of Thyr. on the heart is most
profound. Fatal syncope has occurred in a number of cases under "Thyroid feeding. "
Cyanosis was produced in many cases. Severe angina pectoris was produced by it in a patient to whom
Burnett gave the 3x. The connection between the heart and the thyroid gland is very close, as seen in cases of
exophthalmic goitre. Many cases of the latter affection have been cured with Thyr. In myxdema, cachexia
strumipriva, cretinism and similar conditions the thyroid gland is absent or defective, and the idea of the
Thyroid feeding is to supply a physiological want. A state of puffiness and obesity may therefore be regarded
as a keynote indication for Thyr.
As drugs act sometimes in opposite ways, I gave Thyr. 3x gr. ii. to a living skeleton of a child aged five, and
looking not more than two, who had been kept in a box in a cellar all his life till brought into hospital, when he
weighted 14 1/4 pounds. Under Bac. 200 and careful feeding he gained 1/4 pound a week.
When I commenced Thyr. he put on weekly 3/4 pound, and gained the use of his legs, being able to stand by
holding on to a chair. In a case of universal and very aggravated psoriasis in a schoolboy, fair, very chilly, cold,
clammy hands and feet, Thyr. 3x and later 30 (which seemed to act better than the lower attenuation)
completely cured after a prolonged course. An obese lady, t. 60, developed diabetes.
I cured her completely of the diabetes with Thyr. 3x and 30. She has now for many years been able to take any
kind of food. (On her husband, a spare man, who also was diabetic Thyr. had no effect. ) Skin cases in great
variety have been cured with Thyr. in substantial doses : Pityriasis rubra, intense redness, and scaliness of
legs, and also with intense itching ; Ichthyosis ; syphilitic eruptions ; scleroderma. The nutrition of the bones is
affected, and acromegaly has been relieved and united fractures made to unite. Thyr. has increased the flow of
milk in nursing women when the flow has been deficient. It has cured cases of tetany both operative and
idiopathic.
The keynote in these cases appears to have been "< of spasms by cold. " Many cases of insanity have been
cured with it, including a case of puerperal insanity with fever. H. O. Nicholson (B. M. J. , June 21, 1901) relates
a case of eclampsia of pregnancy : A woman, 32, in her third pregnancy, had a fit on October 3rd. Thyroid
feeding was begun next day. Marked improvement followed. dema of face and body diminished. On October
23rd patient was about her usual duties.
On November 6th she was delivered of a healthy boy without any untoward symptoms. Thyr. , according to
Nicholson, is diuretic, like Urea ; and Nicholson explains its action in eclampsia as being effected through its
enabling the kidneys to carry off the toxins resulting from ftal metabolism. Thyr. is antagonistic to Adrenalin
in that the latter contracts, whilst the former dilates the arterioles. Among the pathogenetic effects of Thyr. ,
optic neuritis and accommodative asthenopia have been observed. Some curiosities have been noted in the
action of Thyr. on the growth of hair. Myxdema patients lose their hair as a rule, and Thyr. when successful
restores the growth. But in some cases the opposite effect has been noted. In one case of myxdema the hair
had fallen off the head and face and a thick growth appeared on arms and chest. Under Thyr. the latter
disappeared, and the hair on the head and face grew again (L'Art Md. , LXXXII. 44).
The pains of Thyr. are stitching, aching, or heavy pains, and tingling sensations. At the point of injection when
administered subcutaneously brawny swelling occurred in one case (which may suggest scleroderma)
followed by abscess of slow development. Persons suffering from skin diseases were found tolerant of much
larger doses than myxdemics. In a number of cases latent phthisis has been lighted up into activity. Syphilis,
both secondary and tertiary, has been vastly relieved by Thyr. Hansen mentions fibroma uteri as having been
cured by Thyr. , and Burford supports this. "Brawny swelling" is a keynote of Thyr. pointed out by Burnett. With
Thyr. 3x gr. vi. thrice daily he cured a case of dropsy and albuminuria which had been given up by several
doctors. Burnett noticed that the swelling was brawny.

Soon after commencing Thyr. the patient passed a quantity of fluid from the feet and got quite well. The
symptoms are : > By rest. < By least exertion ; by stooping. (Heart was < lying down. ) < By cold. (Thyr.
treatment nearly always raises the bodily heat. )

Characteristics (Urinum)
Under Urea Allen gives some symptoms observed on a man who, for a skin affection, drank in the morning the
urine he had passed the night before.
The symptoms were severe, consisting of general-dropsy, scanty urine, and excessive weakness.
These symptoms I have arranged under Urinum. Urinotherapy is practically as old as man himself.
The Chinese (Therapist, X. 329) treat wounds by sprinkling urine on them, and the custom is widespread in the
Far East. Taken internally it is believed to stimulate the circulation ; and is valued as an active oxytocic.
The parturient woman drinks the urine of a male child four to five years old, and the part voided in the middle of
micturition. The child urinates into three vessels, the woman drinking the contents of the second. In the Brit.
Med. Jour. of 1900 a number of instances of Western urinotherapy were given (collected H. W. , XXXV. 507).
To these Cooper has made some additions (ibid. , p. 584).
The cases are these : (1) A youth for crops of boils which nothing could remedy was recommended to drink
every morning for three mornings a cupful of his own urine. Then after an intermission of three days to resume,
and so on till cured. He was cured on the ninth day.
(2) "Blackheads" cured inexactly the same way.

This patient drank it when fresh.

(3) Chronic bronchitis much relieved. This patient was deaf, and misunderstood the doctor's direction to bring
some of his urine. He thought drink was the word and acted accordingly.
(4) Ague (in the Lincolnshire fens).
(5) Urticaria.
(6) For thrush it is a custom in Yorkshire to wipe the baby's tongue with its own napkin.
(7) For pimples and blotches the negroes of Barbados drink their urine and apply it locally.
(8) For ophthalmia in children it is the custom in Switzerland to bathe the eyes in the children's own urine.
Cooper mentions the case of a man who suffered very much from weak and inflamed eyes until he adopted this
plan, which after a time cured him.
Cooper also mentions that a celebrated breeder of cattle and horses succeeded in getting his animals' skin into
an astonishing condition of fineness by giving them about a tablespoonful of old human urine with every meal.
Kraft (A. H. , XXVII. 4) mentions that urine has been used as a remedy for croup. S. Mills Fowler (M. A. , XX. 281)
mentions the use of urine as a remedy for scurvy in the Civil War.
In Andersonville prison the starving prisoners were dying by hundreds of scurvy, and Mr. T. (who told the
story) was one of the sufferers. His legs were flexed upon the thighs and the thighs upon the body in such
violent contraction that it was impossible to extend them an inch, and any attempt to do so was attended with
shocks of pain as from an electric battery.
He could only move on his elbows and rump. Within the stockade were growing two large turpentine trees.
Of the pitch from these trees the patients would take enough to make their urine "clear and white as crystal. "
The urine voided was allowed to stand till it began to sour, which took twelve to twenty-four hours. The patients
then took a "good swallow" four or five times a day.
They felt the good effect of every dose. The treatment cured Mr. T. and all his companions in misfortune who
adopted it.
These cures are to some extent analogous with nosode cures, as the patients drank their own urine ; but
Urinum, Urea, Uric acid are also medicines on their own account, and rank with the Sarcodes.
The symptoms of urmia may be taken as a pathogenesis of Urinum for the use of the attenuations. Urea
cured renal dropsy, and Urinum produced it.
The skin action of Urinum is remarkable in connection with its use in the dressing of leather ; no substitute
having been found for it in this.

Characteristics (Cholesterinum)
Cholesterine is a substance crystallising in leaflets with a mother-of-pearl lustre and a fatty feel. It is soluble in
alcohol and ether.
It occurs in the blood and brain, yolk of eggs, seeds and buds of plants, but most abundantly in the bile and
biliary calculi.
Ameke, who did much to introduce the proximate principles of the tissues as remedies, anticipating the
practice now so much in vogue in the old school, recommended Cholesterine as a remedy in cancer of the
liver.
Burnett has recently adduced conclusive evidence in support of the correctness of this assertion ; and I have
myself cured, mainly with this, a case described to me (I did not see the patient, a man over 50) as in the last
stage of liver disease. He had been given up by his medical attendant, who ordered him to make his will without
delay.
Burnett uses the 3x or the 3 trit. and substantial doses.
He commends it in "obstinate hepatic engorgements, which by reason of their obstinacy make one think
interrogatively of cancer," also in "cases in which there appears to be a semi-malignant affection, involving the
left lobe of the liver and what lies between it and the pylorus and the pancreas. "
In such cases Burnett gives alternately Cholest. 3x and Iodoform 3x.
It has been used with success in the removal of opacities of the vitreous.

Characteristics
The only use that I know as having been made of Lac. coag. is in the nausea of pregnancy, the indication being

Characteristics (Lac vaccinum defloratum)
"The idea of potentising skimmed milk originated with Swan upon reading Donkin's Skim Milk Treatment for
Diabetes and Bright's disease. "
The first proving was made by a lady in New York, in whose case the headache and nausea with constipation
were strongly marked. A subsequent, more extensive proving was made under Swan by Dr. Laura Morgan. "
I quote from Hering, who adds, that with but few exceptions the symptoms of the Schema have received clinical
verification. The symptoms set up by milk in some sensitive persons, especially the violent headache and the

constipation, are a matter of common knowledge, and it is in these affections that the remedy has especially
distinguished itself.
As milk contains within it an epitome of all the tissues and salts of the animal which secretes it, it is natural to
expect of it a wide range of action in the attenuations. As Natrum. mur. is a prominent ingredient, it is not
surprising that symptoms of this are found in the pathogenesis, e. g. , "thirst for large quantities, often,"
"nausea and vomiting," "depression with crying and palpitation. "
The characteristic headaches of Lac def. are : Periodic sick-headaches in women ; menstrual sick-headaches.
Intense headache, fore part, with nausea and constipation. Throbbing frontal headaches in anmic women,
nausea, vomiting, and obstinate constipation. The symptoms which specially indicate it in diabetes are :
Intense thirst ; wasting. The menses are irregular ; sometimes very dark, scanty ; sometimes colourless water.
(Lac def. cured this case : Menses suppressed suddenly from putting hands into cold water. Great pain in
uterine region. Intense headache. Pains fly all over. Flushed face. Patient slept after first dose, next morning
slight flow appeared. Second dose brought back flow profusely, and patient felt well and the flow continued. )
Nutrition is perverted.
There is loss of weight, or else obesity. Dropsy. Fatty degeneration. Some peculiar sensations are : As though
a knife was cutting up and down through the heart. As if head would burst. As if eyes full of little stones. As if
top of head was lifted off. As if a ball of pain in centre of forehead. As if flesh was off bones and edges were
separated and sticking out. As if objects were tossed up from below in all directions. As if a large ball rose from
lower end of sternum to upper end of sophagus. As if a stone in abdomen. As if sheets were damp. As if a
cold air blowing on her. It may be well to recall in this last connection that milk is one of the articles forbidden
to hydrogenoid or chilly patients. Burnett maintains that excess of milk in the dietary of children after they have
cut their first teeth renders them susceptible to colds.
There is periodicity in the symptoms : every eight days. Headache ceases at sunset. Most symptoms occur in
the morning. Fever and prostration come on in afternoon. Putting hands into cold water = suppression of
menses. External heat does not > chilliness, < pain in eyeball. Sensation as if cold water were blowing on her,
even while covered up warm. No position >. Lying down < vertigo ; headache ; urinary pain. Vertigo compels to
sit up. Extending arms above head = fainting spells. Motion < all symptoms. < Walking ; < sitting down, though
ever so gently. Abdomen is sensitive to touch. Pressure round waist = fainting spells. Pressure > pain in
eyeball (presses eyes into pillows) ; bandaging head lightly > pain. After injury subject to distress in head.

Characteristics
Lactic acid "was discovered by Scheele in sour milk, the result of the spontaneous fermentation of sugar of
milk, under the influence of casein.
It is also met with in many vegetable products which have turned sour" (Hering).
Reisig introduced it into homopathy. It has been proved in both the lower and higher attenuations, but many
valuable observations have been made on patients taking substantial doses for diabetes (C. D. P. ).

In these cases the symptoms of rheumatic fever were directly traced to the acid. Pain, swelling, and stiffness
and tenderness of joints < by motion (as with Bry. , which antidotes Lact. ac. ), and flying pains about limbs.
One prover had pain along the right sciatic nerve.
The well-known effects of milk that has soured on the stomach and remained undigested were produced
nausea, vomiting, burning and sense of weight ; and these have all proved useful indications in the
homopathic use of the drug.
Diabetes is the affection for which it has been most given in old-school practice ; but it has also proved of great
power in this affection in the homopathic attenuations.
Nash regards the concomitance of rheumatic pains as the chief guiding symptom here. (In Med. Adv. , XXI. 508
he records a case of diabetes, with rheumatic fever supervening, cured with Lact. ac. 200. )
But nausea is no less a guide : Constant nausea ; nausea on awaking before rising ; > by eating. This may
occur in diabetes ; or it may occur in pregnancy. It is also an indication when occurring in rheumatism.
There is > by eructations ; and < by smoking. Smoking < eructations. Copious foot-sweat is a feature of Lact.
ac. , but it is not offensive. It is suited to anmic, pale women. Large doses disagreed with melancholic,
choleric constitution, dark hair and eyes.

different parts of milk independently.
He proved his 200th (which, according to Skinner's calculation, is not the same as the 200 centesimal, being
duplicated instead of centupled at each remove) on himself and Miss Mary P.
As with the other Lac preparations, a large number of the symptoms were manifested in the throat and female
sexual organs. Dry throat and extreme difficulty of swallowing. Menses profuse and accompanied by cramps.
Relations (Lactis Vaccini Flos.)

Pancreas, disease of.
Characteristics (Pancreatinum. )
Pancreatinum has been used with success in conditions due to disease or faulty action of the pancreas on the
analogy of Thyroidin and the other Sarcodes.
Burnett says pancreatics are often of great service in gout.

Pepsinum
A proteolytic ferment found in the gastric juice.
The Pepsin in general use is extracted from the stomach of the pig.
Alcohol, tannin, and the alkaline carbonates destroy its power. It is prepared in granular form or in glycerinated
extract for general use.
Homopathic attenuations maybe made by triturating the secretory layer of a fresh pig's-stomach ; by
triturating the granular Pepsinum with sugar of milk ; or by making the lower attenuations of the liquid extracts
with distilled water.
Clinical
Dyspepsia.
Characteristics
Pepsinum has been supposed to act purely as a digestive, but recent discoveries in regard to the action of the
sarcodes makes this now scarcely tenable.
Pepsinum may digest the contents of the stomach ; but, like the secretions of other glands, it will in all
probability act also, by its specific affinity, on the secretory tissues of the stomach itself.

Characteristics (Pyrogenium)
John Drysdale was the first, in 1880, to suggest the use of this substance as a medicament (On Pyrexin or
Pyrogen as a Therapeutic Agent, Baillire, Tyndale & Cox). Burdon Sanderson has stated (B. M. J. , February
13, 1875) that "only liquids which contain bacteria or have a marked proneness to their production" are capable
of setting up pyrexia.
This remark struck Drysdale, and though, of course, he could not endorse the "only" of the statement many
drugs known to homopaths set up fever he saw that the fact might be turned to account. Sanderson further
defines Pyrogen as "a chemical non-living substance formed by living bacteria, but also by living puscorpuscles, or the living blood- or tissue-protoplasms from which these corpuscles spring. " In Sanderson's
experiments with Pyro. the following effects were observed. (1) From a non-fatal dose : The animal shivers and
begins to move about restlessly.
The temperature rises from 2 to 3 C. , the maximum being reached in three hours. Th irst and vomiting come
on, followed by feculent and thin mucous, and finally bloody diarrha and tenesmus. In five hours these
symptoms begin to subside, and the animal recovers with wonderful rapidity. When death occurs it is from
heart failure. In non-fatal cases with gastro-enteric symptoms the temperature gradually rises for four hours,
and as gradually subsides : in fatal cases it rises rapidly to 104 F. , then rapidly declines to below normal.
(2) From a fatal dose : There is intestinal hmorrhage, purging, collapse, and death. After death extravasations
of blood are found in heart, pleura, and pericardium ; the spleen is enlarged and full of blood. Mucous
membrane of stomach and small intestines is intensely injected with detachment of epithelium and exudation
of bloody fluid, which distends the gut.
The blood is dark, the corpuscles being in clumps instead of rolls, and many being dissolved in the liquor
sanguinis. White corpuscles partially disintegrated. Drysdale prepared a tincture of Pyro. which he preferred
to call Pyrexin, since it is not a mere fever-producer : others have called it Sepsin ; but this is too close to
Septicmin, a name given to a related and perhaps identical nosode : I have chosen to retain the name
Pyrogen, by which the remedy is best known in homopathy and put his own suggestion into practice. His
success was very encouraging, but as he continued to use the tincture and lowest attenuations the difficulty
of keeping the preparation was not small ; and the remedy did not come into extensive use till Burnett
published his pamphlet on Pyrogenium in Fevers and Blood-poisoning in 1888.
Burnett used chiefly the 6th centesimal dilution, which is perfectly harmless, and which will keep indefinitely.
Heath, who made one of the preparations used by Burnett, gave some of it to Swan, of New York, who ran it up
into the high infinitesimals. Much of the American experience is with Swan's attenuations, including a proving
by Sherbino (Med. Adv. , XXV. 369), whose symptoms I have marked (Sherbino) in the Schema. The remainder
of the symptoms of the Schema are for the most part clinical Yingling (H. P. , XIII. 402) collected symptoms
from many reported cases, and arranged them with the symptoms of the proving. (Yingling erroneously
describes Pyro. as prepared from "pus from septic abscess. "
This is Septicmin. He refers, however, to Burnett's pamphlet and to cases cured with Pyro. , leaving the actual
substance referred to not in doubt. H. C. Allen, who published the proving and most of the cases in Med. Adv. ,
rightly describes Pyro. as a "Product of Sepsis"). Drysdale's original cases include a number in which
threatened typhoid was averted, a case of tabes mesenterica cured, and one of ulceration of the colon greatly
benefited.
Burnett's were cases of fully developed typhoid all cut short at the height by Pyro. 6 given every two hours. In
his pamphlet is included a successful experience of Dr. Shouldham's with Pyro. 6 in two cases of diphtheritic
sore threat. I have had ample opportunity of observing the power of Pyro. over typhoid fever, and typhoid and
hectic states, including one of discharging abscess connected with Pott's disease of the spine.

T. M. Dillingham reports (Med. Adv. , XXVII. 367) the case of a young German Jewess who had been under
treatment at various hospitals for Bright's disease, and at the Hahnemann Hospital of New York among Others.
To this she was readmitted on March 14, 1890, when she first came under Dr. Dillingham's care.
The urine showed an enormous amount of albumen and a variety of casts. Feet and legs greatly swollen, face
puffy. Throbbing headache, often accompanied by profuse nose-bleed, nausea, and vomiting ; < motion and
light ; abnormally bright eyes, widely dilated pupils. Bell gave temporary relief ; but on May 31st the condition
was desperate. Dillingham then learned that the trouble dated from a large abscess resulting from a lanced,
badly cared-for felon of the left thumb. She was ill six weeks with this abscess, having, as her doctors said,
"blood poisoning. " Soon after this her face and feet began to swell.
On May 31st the condition was this : Feet, legs, and genitals greatly swollen. Frightful throbbing headache, > by
tight band constantly worn. > By heat ; very fond of the hot bath. Headaches had terrible aggravations lasting
two to four days, during which time she could neither lie in bed nor sit up, but was in constant motion,
groaning and crying piteously for help. Pyro. cmm, Swan, one dose was given, and no other medicine, although
the patient on one occasion begged for something to stop the pain. In the course of June she began to mend,
and on October 20th was discharged cured.
In Sherbino's proving he was cured incidentally of a consciousness of the heart and its working, and
palpitation from least excitement or anxiety, < beginning to move ; congestion to head as if apoplexy would
ensue. Cactus had done no good. Sherbino cured : (1) a case of puerperal fever with Pyro. , being led to its
selection by the very high pulse rate. (2) Relapse of typhoid, pulse 140, temperature 102 F. ; both were normal
in twenty-four hours. (3) Young lady, 17, fever, aching bones, bed felt very hard. Numb, paralytic feeling. As the
fever left the pulse kept mounting up. Pyro. cmm, Swan, repeated as often as effect ceased, cured. Pyro. is
one of the germinal remedies of the materia medica. When once the idea of its essential action is grasped an
infinity of applications become apparent. As Drysdale put it, "The most summary indication for Pyro. would be
to term it the Aconite of the typhous or typhoid quality of pyrexia," and wherever poisoning by bacterial
products (e. g. , in the hectic of phthisis) is going on Pyro. will be likely to do good. Sepsis is the essence of the
action of Pyro.
H. C. Allen gives this indication for its use in septic states : "When the best selected remedies fail to relieve or
permanently improve " analogous to the action of Pso. and Sul. in other conditions. Also : "Latent pyogenic
process, patient continually relapsing after apparent simillimum. " As Pyro. is a product of carrion, the carrionlike odour of bodily emaciations, secretions, and excretions is a keynote for its use. Other leading indications
are : Restlessness ; must move constantly to > the soreness of parts. "Constipation, from impactum of fces
in fevers ; stool large, black, carrion-like. " "Chill begins in back, between scapul. " "Severe general chill of
bones and extremities. " In all cases of fever commencing with pains in the limbs," Swan. Pulse abnormally
rapid, out of all proportion to temperature. " Pyro. 5, five drops in water night and morning, assisted in the cure
of a case of anal fistula in a case of Burnett's (On Fistula, p. 66). Under its action a sweating at the seat which
the man had had for many years disappeared ; and the skin of his hands, which were subject to dry eczema,
assumed a much cleaner aspect.
J. S. Hunt (H. W. , XXXI. 54) reports five cases of varicose ulcers, all of which healed quickly under Pyro.
Bellairs (H. W. , XXXIV. 298) gave Pyro. 200 to an elderly woman who suffered for years with an ulcerated leg,
which was riddled with deep, burrowing wounds, extremely painful and discharging freely. Hep. , Sil. , Ars. ,
Ham. , did no good. Under Pyro. once or twice a day "a large boil" formed on the calf of the leg and discharged
its contents, after which the various ulcers healed up directly.

walking about ; turning over or changing position. Heart's action and cough < by motion. Eyeball < moving eye.
Cough < motion and in a warm room. < Sitting up in bed ; rising. (Cough > sitting up ; < lying down. )

Characteristics (Saccharum lactis)

Hahnemann chose globules of Saccharum lactis as the chief vehicle of his remedies, because he considered it
the most inert substance he could find. But his method of attenuating remedies had shown that no substance
is inert in attenuations, and experience shows that no substance is absolutely inert in any form.
H. A. Hare says of Sac. l. : "Scientific and clinical studies have shown it to be possessed of very great diuretic
powers when given in full doses. " He says further, that its direct action on the kidneys and its slight action
elsewhere indicate it in renal dropsy and renal inactivity ; that it acts best in cases where albuminuria is absent,
and that it causes profuse diuresis in infants fed on it. I have frequently met with patients who could not take
Sac. l. either unmedicated or as a vehicle without inconvenience. One patient when taking pilules of Sac. l.
three times a day complained that they made his "eyes ache and feel weak. " One of Swan's provers had this
symptom : "Sight fails ; eyes tire very easily. "
Swan is the authority for Sac. l. as a homopathic remedy. He has published (Materia Medica) a full
pathogenesis of Sac. l. , proved in the potencies from 30th upward, together with confirmed and cured
symptoms. Eleven provers and observers contributed. I have bracketed the cured symptoms in my Schema.
Sac. l. causes sensations of both coldness and heat.
One of the cold sensations is this : "Sensation of extreme cold passing in a fine line from centre of pubes to a
point two or three inches above. " Swan regards cold pains as a, keynote, and records this case : Mr. S. had an
excessively cold neuralgic pain in cartilage of both ears, the right being the worst, with tingling as if frost-bitten
; rubbing with difficulty restored the warmth. Lancinating, neuralgic pains in forehead ; in occiput ; extending
from region above ears down through ears into muscles of neck ; in both eyes ; < by least breath of air ; skin
sensitive to touch as in inflammatory rheumatism.
These pains were icy cold, as if produced by an extremely fine ice-cold needle. As Sac. l. has "fine cold pains"
and pains passing in all directions, Sac. l. 1m was given, and relieved all the pains within an hour. (Sac. off. has

"cold expectoration. ") The symptoms are < before a storm ; in damp room or basement ; morning and evening
; by blue and yellow colours ; exertion ; mental excitement. > By warmth of fire ; by red colour ; after 4 p. m.

Urine, increase of.
Characteristics
Thyroiodine is now more generally named Iodothyrine, but I retain the former as more convenient.
Hoenigschmied (Aerz. Cent. Zeit. , No. 6, 1900, quoted A. H. , XXVII. 211) says of it that it is present in only small
quantities in the thyroid of the sheep.
It is completely free from albuminous substances, stable, and directly assimilated. The iodine exists in organic
combination, and Thyri. contains 0. 003 parts of Iodine to every gramme. The general effects of the drug are
increased secretion of urine and corresponding loss of flesh.
Hnigschmied gives two cases :
(1) Labourer, 42, for several years had enlargement and induration of all lobes of thyroid, the enlargement
causing compression of the structures of the neck, dyspna, whistling respiration, hoarseness, short, dry
cough, vertigo. Thyri. , 5-grain tablets, one every evening ; at the end of a week twice daily.
After using twenty-five tablets the gland was smaller and softer ; the previously hard and resistant nodules
were elastic ; after two more weeks only remnants of the goitre remained.

(2) Man, 60, thyroid enlarged in all its lobes with a glandular cystic swelling in the right one ; dyspna, loud
whistling breathing.
Two, three, and at last four tablets were given daily for two months, by which time the goitre had vanished, but
the cyst was not changed.
(3) Man, 45, medium height, sedentary, suffered from obesity, vertigo, dyspna, weariness. Pulse feeble, 76 ;
functions normal ; appetite and sleep good ; weight 230 pounds.
With increasing doses of Thyri. , up to ten tablets daily, the weight steadily went down to 160 pounds, activity
increasing in proportion. When the dose had reached four tablets daily the urine became very abundant, but
was free from albumen. The daily dose was increased one tablet every four days.
At one stage Fowler's solution of arsenic, four drops in wine, was given as well to prevent Thyroidism.

Characteristics (Urea)

The failure of the kidneys to eliminate Urea from the blood leads to urmic intoxication, delirium, convulsions,
and coma. On general indications Urea has been used in medicine by both schools. Merck mentions that it is
diuretic, and is used in cirrhosis of liver, pleurisy, renal calculus.
Allen cites from Mauthner two cases of renal dropsy with symptoms of general intoxication in which Urea nit. ,
gr. II. , divided into three doses and given two hours apart, cured brilliantly. Burnett has used both Urea 6 and
Uric acid 6 in gouty eczema, "where the gouty eczema has been the cutaneous outlet for the constitution. "
Burnett gave Urea in gouty cases where the urine was thin and of low specific gravity ; "it thickens the urine
and gives great relief to the patient. "
Arthur H. Buch (Med. Press, Aug 14, 1901) relates cases of tuberculosis cured, on the plan originated by
Harper, of Nottingham, with Urea in 20- to 30-grain doses three times a day. Urea, Buch says, "is formed in the
spleen, lymph and secreting glands, but principally by the liver. " Under the treatment, lupoid nodules
disappeared ; tuberculous glands disappeared ; tuberculous joints improved. No ill-effects of the treatment
were noticed ; "on the contrary, the action has evidently been in many cases that of a nervous tonic. "
Villers (J. of Hcs. , IV. 403) examined the urine of an intensely neurasthenic woman, suffering from severe
asthma and found 4. 5 per cent. of Urea instead of the usual 2. 5. In order to find out the effect of Urea on the
healthy he took for five days Urea 15x. , five drops thrice daily.
He was then compelled to stop by the severity of the symptoms. He gave the same dose to a patient, a woman.
She begged after a short time to be allowed to discontinue the medicine, as it affected her so painfully, causing
constant urging to urinate ; much sediment in the urine ; intolerable sensation in abdomen and burning of the
skin.

It is useful in gouty eczema where the eczema has been "the cutaneous outlet for the constitution. " With Uric
ac. 3x.
Mersch (H. W. , XXX. 395) cured a case of lipoma situated on the left side between abdomen and breast, "as
