(Learning is a peculiar mental “tree” on which grows the “ fruit” known

as__education. These mental “trees” are not necessarily productive of “ fruit.”
O ur Therapeutic Agents: As to whether they are derived from the
purest gold or the vilest of filth our gratitude for their irreplaceable service
should forbid us to enquire. Either may be indicated and called for in the
cure of disease. Both are derived from the identical same basic source. And
both are returned to that basic source after their physical disintegration.)

 INTRODUCTION

Materia Medica has to do with the restoration of health to the sick,

the curing; of “ Disease,” and, incidently, the attempt to save human life.
Then, as the main tool of the one “whose high and only mission is to heal the
sick,” that tool should be something more, and should have a higher-mission,
than that of a mere reservoir for the storage of, or register of, promiscuous symp­
toms, as all Materia Medicas have been and now are. Homoeopathy is not
merely a method of matching symptoms promisciously, or groups of such, and
treating them, but is a method of matching and treating “ Disease Pictures”
with similar “ Drug Pictures.” The Repertory is simply an orderly arranged
Symptom Register for quick reference, therefore highly necessary. But the
Repertory is not, and cannot possibly be made, a prescribing medium, as we
have been so erroneously taught in the past to believe. The “Graphic Drug
Picture” must, in nil cases, cover the individual case if a radical cure is to be
our goal, otherwise wc have shot wide of the mark.
The aim of this volume is to give, as near as the provings and the
usages will allow, a “Graphic Picture” of each drug, and a clinical outline
of such drugs .as do not present sufficient proven symptoms to make such
‘Drug Pictures” possible. Following each "Graphic Drug Picture" we have
given the main clinical citations, which, per se, can only be suggestive and
confirmative, and are only to be considered, and used, in connection with the
“Graphic Drug Picture.”
Before we can attempt to cure or remove “ Disease” intelligently, the
physician must know something about the following subjects, viz: The basic
composition of the Universe; the basic composition and construction of the
human body; the basic composition of "diseased or abnormal” tissue; the dif­
ference between what we term "diseased or abnormal” tissue and "healthy or
normal” tissue; the basic cause of all “Disease;” the modus operandi of “The
Law of Similars,” and what takes place during the action of that "Law;"
why it is necessary to prove all drugs on the normally healthy human body,
rather than on animals and in test tubes; why it is mandatory that we at­
tenuate all our drugs, and just what takes place in that act. That is, indeed,
a large order, but no one is in a position to claim the real title of— Physician
—who cannot comply. Said Lord Moynihan (M .D .): “ It has always been
one of the salient characteristics of medical men in all countries and at all
times that they have ardently followed other pursuits than that of their pro­
fession.” W hat an indictment 1 Our Philosophies, from the Organon down,
must be rewritten by men of higher mental caliber than those we now have,
if they are to be universally accepted and of value. Now let us briefly review
the subjects above named: First, the—
U N IV ERSE: Briefly, science, by the aid of the spectroscope, is re­
ported to have discovered “the entire Universe to be composed entirely of the
same thing.” That discovery appeared just 18 years after the writer of this
article had written and published: All forms of substance are but gas in
various stages of density. But science apparently has not yet discovered just
what that “same thing” is, so we will explain further. That “same thing” is
composed of but two basic factors, activated by a third agent. Those two
basic factors are: first, that which is revealed to our sight and touch and

(5)

. n /"Vi \/A I />
named by us—material; second, that invisible force known to us as bi-
polarized magnetism. Those two basic factors are divided up and formed into
universal, basic nucleal cells, the very last word in subdivision. Those basic
cells are divided into separate classes, each class having permanently sealed in its
own individual quantity, phase and power of bipolarized magnetism, that in no
way can be either changed, divided or freed by any device of man. The amount
and character of the bipolarized magnetism enclosed in the cells determines the
fluidity or solidity of the object to be formed by them. Everything, from
rarified air to the hardest substance known is composed of some combination
of those basic cells. The great reservoir for the storage of nil those cells is
that space occupied by what we term—The Air, from which space all cells
are withdrawn to form all objects designed by Nature, and to which space
or reservoir those cells are all returned after they have performed the mission
for which they were withdrawn, and the objects for which they were used
disintegrated. Now let us briefly review the human—

B O D Y : The human body, being an integral part of the Universe,

must, of necessity, be composed of identically “the same thing” as the Uni­
verse. The human body becomes at once: the home, jail and convenience
of—The Living Ego. The body is constructed as a huge animated cable,
endowed with a central control organization, with lines of communication
extending to every part of the body. In order to keep those lines of com­
munication in constant repair and normal state, Nature provided the body
with a perfect natural laboratory', the digestive apparatus, whose sole func­
tion is to free the closely cohesive cells forming the “nourishment” we take
into our bodies for the sole purpose of furnishing and restoring cells lost to
broken lines of communication. Nature also furnished the body with a blood­
stream to carry cells to parts wherever needed. She likewise furnished the
body with powers of assimilation to place or build in those cells. The powers
of assimilation call for those cells when needed by way of the appetite, in
the form of air, food, liquid, etc. When all the lines of communication are
perfect and working harmoniously a perfect state of health maintains, and
the body becomes immune to all “ Disease.” Now let us briefly review—

"DISEASE;” Just what is "Disease;” what is its nature; is it visible;

just how does "diseased or abnormal" tissue differ from "normal oi
healthy” tissue? From a lack of that knowledge we are led to believe that
that which we class as "diseased or abnormal" tissue is something quite apart
from that we class as “healthy or normal” tissue, therefore quite foreign in
every way to the latter. In the two basic factors composing the basic struc­
ture of the two classes of cells there is absolutely no difference. "Diseased or
abnormal” cells are simply “healthy or normal” cells out of their normal
environ, and of a combination foreign to the part affected. “Disease” proper
is not composed of tissue, therefore it, and its basic cause are both invisible.
As Kent expressed: "All that we can possibly know of Disease* is expressed
in symptoms only,” and all we can possibly see of it are its external mani­
festations and end products. Whenever a line of communication between the
central control organization and a part becomes broken, cells foreign to that
part becomes attracted, since there is a lack of control over it, and those for­
eign cells will continue to pile up until that line is repaired; the seriousness
of the “ Disease” produced depending entirely on the importance of the line

( 6)

involved. Now let us briefly review the—
CAUSE: Just what is the basic cause of all “ Disease” ? The an­
swer is so simple that it can be expressed in the single word—SHOCK!
No SHOCK, no “ Disease” ! What is SHOCK? Shock is registered im­
pulse or impact! The exciting or contributing causes may be legion, but
whether mental, physical, mechanical or chemical, if they do not, or can not
produce SHOCK, there will be no “Disease.” Just what does that SHOCK
do? It simply breaks the lines of communication between the central control
organization of the body and its parts, depriving the central organization
of its power to direct the normal functions of the part affected, thereby weak-
ing the natural body defenses and upsetting the normal body balance. The
predisposition to “ Disease” is inborn, in the form of defective lines of com­
munication, which lines are easily broken by even light forms of shock,
thereby the inherited predisposition to disease. Therefore it behooves us as
intelligent physicians to refrain from introducing foreign elements directly
into the body. Now let us briefly review the—
CU RE: Just what is the modus operandi of—“The Law of Simi­
lars” ; how does that—“Law”—act, and just what takes place in that action?
Apparently Hahnemann did not know, his Organon proves it. No one else
has been able to explain it. Now let us look at the matter from an intelli­
gent and scientific angle: We have briefly reviewed "Disease’' above, the
simplicity of its nature and its basic cause, and noted how simple they all are.
Then why not the CURE be equally simple? The truth is— I T IS! The
rapidity and the permanency with which the very highest attenuations of our
therapeutic agents have produced the permanent and lasting results confirms
that statement indisputably. As the cause is simply a break in the line of
communication, the line cannot always repair itself, cells become lost to the
part, and other cells must replace them or “disease” will go on to fatality,
simply because the central control organization cannot possibly operate. In
such cases when Nature fails the physician must furnish new cells artificially
in the form of drugs whose cell formation corresponds accurately with those
composing that particular line of communication.
In the cure of “Disease” the physician must use the greatest precau­
tion, especially in the selection of his remedies. As the late Henry N.
Guernsey stated: “Although the chief features of a disease are present and
similar in all persons attacked by the malady, we must confess that we are
able to detect some sign or symptom, some all-pervading condition, some
characteristic circumstance that gives the case its individuality, and causes
it to differ, if ever so slightly, from all other cases.” W hat is true of
“disease” is also true of the results of drug provings, or the— “Law of Simi­
lars” would be a myth. T o arrive at that point we must collect all the
symptoms from a number of provers, sifting out all the symptoms that appear
in every prover of that drug, as they alone are the indicators, and they will
be found to be very few. It is not quantity that either counts or composes
the symptom totality. The real slogan should be: Likes must be replaced
by likes. All that the drug does toward the cure is to act as a plug in unit­
ing the two ends of the broken line, thus allowing the “spiritlike” force,
gathered and distributed by the central organization, to flow freely and clear
away all cells foreign to the part affected. The vital force is a power

(? )

which in health maintains harmony in all parts of the body and does the
curing. Without vital force the organism is dead. Now let us view—
DRU G PR O V IN G : Just why drug proving? In this act we find
the real meaning of the term— Science and Homoeopathy’s claim to that
term. It provides us something definite and removes all doubt. It clinches
the— I K N O W —which is the real meaning of the term—SCIEN CE! U n­
fortunately for Homoeopathy “Drug Proving” has never been carried on
intelligently, nor its results properly understood and evaluated. Here are a
few facts apparently not understood either by Hahnemann or his followers,
viz: That it is impossible for a single prover, no matter how intelligent that
prover may be, to make a reliable workable proving; that each proving drug
furnishes us with two distinct sets of symptoms: one PO SITIV E, that is
constant, FIXED and limited and furnishes us the real indicators, the real
symptoms totality, because they appear persistently exactly the same in ALL
and every individual prover of that drug; the other N EG A TIV E, that are
furnished by, and vary with, each and every prover of that drug, independent
of the action of the drug itself, therefore useless as indicators, their number is
legion (E. g.: Note the array of such symptoms under Aconite in Allen’s
Encyclopaedia of Pure Materia Medica, or Hering’s Guiding Symptoms.
Aconite never, in itself, produced all those symptoms, the vast bulk were
furnished by the various provers in reaction to those produced directly by the
proving drug’s action. It is the mass that gives us so many apparent different
pictures of the same drug, thereby confusing the prescriber) ; that the proving
drug attacks only such lines of communication as are composed exactly of
such basic cells as compose the drug mass used in the proving, hence the
accuracy of the indications thus derived from the proving drug; that each
line of communication involved furnishes its own individual pathogenesis
and fashions its own individual pathological end-products and morphological
changes. In order to make a thoroughly reliable and workable proving it
takes many provers in order that the symptoms obtained may be registered
and compared, and only such retained as appear in ALL the provers per­
sistently, as they alone are the only indicators. Remedies only remove that
over which they have strict control, and they have no control over that which
the prover supplies independent of the drug. Now let us briefly review—
ATTENUATION: Just why attenuation? Drugs in themselves have
no energy, either inside or outside the body, save that of attraction and
repulsion, and only then when the component cells can be readily freed. The
contents of the basic cells can not possibly be cither freed, diluted, potentized
or dynamatized by any device of man. There is but one single, valid reason
for attenuation, and that is a very important one, viz: to free the densely cohesive
cells forming the drug mass. The drug is effective in any stage, either crude
or attenuated, always provided there are free cells available. Heavy, crude
drugging is an inseparable twin of medical ignorance.

of an undigested hard boiled egg in the stomach; is hungry and wakeful at
night, but has loss of appetite a. m .; is constipated; is hysterical and low
spirited; feels as if something had lodged in the chest and had to be coughed
up; the heart’s action is slow and heavy; is worse after eating. Its leading
indication seems to be the “sense of an undigested hard boiled egg in the
stomach.“
Clinical: Is principally a stomach remedy, its principal characteristic
“ the sense of an undigested hard boiled egg.” Dyspepsia from tea and
tobacco. Chronic intermittents with pain in the stomach.

vomiting; stomach feels as if swimming in water; has sharp pain especially
in the ovaries and joints; has pain in the back worse at night, causing rest­
lessness, better motion; has pain especially in the wrists and ankles; emaciates
upward; is worse in cold air. Its most marked indication seems to be

Clinical: Is principally a rheumatic remedy, and especially useful
in metastatic conditions, e. g., suddenly checked diarrhoea followed by
irritation of the heart, epistaxis, bloody urine, anxiety, trembling or piles;
suddenly checked rheumatism followed by violent carai*c symptoms; mumps
shifting to mammae or testes, etc. Bleeding from naval of infants. Great
relief when diarrhoea sets in, like Natr-s. and Zinc., reverse of Calc. When
Aeon, and Bry. fail in pleurisy and a pressing sense remains in the affected
part, or side. After influenza, child weak, prostrated and has a sort of hectic
fever. Itching chilblains. After an operation on the chest for hydrothorax

and diarrhoea. Similar to Apis and Ars., but has a greater preponderance
of gastric symptoms than either. Cough, chronic, dry, hacking, limbs swollen,
diarrhoea, dyspnoea or night sweat. Milk is blue, taste and odor strongly
sour. Many complaints apparently overcome by Bor. disappear after Ac-ac.,
especially the shooting pains in the chest. Sausage poisoning. Antidotes Sep.

anxiety, often with chilliness, with one red cheek, the other pale; in fever one
cheek is read and hot, the other pale and cold; great fear, especially of death,
is sure one is going to die, and often predicts the day; the fear and anxiety
are expressed in the face; has vertigo or faint on rising up; head and face
hot; has unquenchable thirst, which seems to increase with the drinking; de­
sires cold water, like Stann., everything else tastes bitter. After the initial
chill comes a high fever, a dry hot skin, a full bounding and rapid pulse, one
cheek red and hot, the other pale and cold, the urine hot and dark, the pains,
if any, are acute and sticking and followed by numbness and tingling; the
attacks come on suddenly especially after exposure to cold dry wintery winds
when insufficiently clothed; the sweat is copious and warm, even hot, is
usually critical and relieves all the pains and symptoms, and profuse urine
relieves the headache. Is generally worse at night, and sharp cold dry
wintery winds. Its greatest indicator is: Agonized tossing about.
Clinical: All the head pains are accompanied by the mental distress,
and are relieved by profuse urination. Dysentery during hot days and
cold nights; if mucus persists after tenesmus ceases give Sulph. Is usually
the principal remedy for retained urine in the new-born, with ineffectual
urging. Dead drunks: 5 drops tincture in a teaspoonfull of water. If

tion of the posterior walls of the pharynx. The action of Aesc. on the liver
with engorged circulation, especially with large piles, is extremely well
marked. Extremely valuable for protruding piles with the characteristic
rectal and back symptoms.

AETHUSA CYNAPIUM (Aeth.)

Is anxious, restless, and as the disease progresses, one bacomes more
and more retired in disposition and inclined to wreep; has an expression of
anxiety and pain; the face is pale with dark rings around the eyes; has a
white blue pallor or pearly appearance around the lips bounded by a distinct
line from the wings of the nose to the angles of the mouth; the pupils are

with lowered vitality, weak heart, slow* weak pulse, especially if the
kidneys are acting insufficiently. Most useful W'hen compensation is failing,

(13)

Original from
/A . I/>
in which it often acts well when Dig. fails. Said to establish a compensatory
hypertrophy in cardiac stenosis, or mitral regurgitation, with oedema of
lower limbs, dyspnoea, scanty urine and irregular pulse. In cases of feeble,
irregular heart’s action, more or less dyspnoea, and not dependent on oganic
disease, here Adonis is said to act splendidly, improving the tone of the heart
muscles, increasing the power of contraction and regulating the pulse.

the parts bum, are red and itch as if frozen; is awkward and clumsy both
mentally and physically; the fingers fly open and let things fall from the

open air, exposure to cold, especially the face, morning and stimulants. Agari-
cus emeticus has: cold water relieves speedily and permanently.
Clinical: Twitching and jerking of muscles and redness, itching
and burning as if frozen characterize Agar. Young, nervous, hysterical
married women who faint after coition (Staph., who have urinary troubles).
A great antidote to alcoholic drinks (Abs.). Complaints arising from ceasing

cold and damp. Convulsions: after coition (Bufo. during); from suppressed
milk; after being scolded (Ign.). Symptoms appear diagonally at the same
time in different parts of the body. Low fevers, tremor, tremulous tongue,
delirium trys to get out of bed. As if ice touched the body, or cold needles
touched the heart.

after their marriage, are unable to have an erection; and of women with a
history, with either leucorrhoea like the white of an egg, vagina and womb
relaxed and who have an abhorance to sexual intercourse, it producing no
thrill, or when her milk, after it has started, or becomes scanty, or both with
suppressed menses. Puerperal mania, hints at suicide. Was used in early

AILANTHUS GLANDULUS (Ail.)

Has capillary congestion in spots that are red and mottled, a face that
is purple, dark as mahogany, and besotted, congested eyes, seems stupid and
benumbed, oozing blood that is black, a fetid odor from the nose and mouth,
forgets all past events, is anxious and restless, sighs continually with depressed
spirits, is irritable, sleepless, the pupil widely dilated, the discharge from the
nose copious, thin, ichorus and bloody, the fetid odor is cadaveric, or like
stinking meat, there is often a feeling as of a snake climbing up the leg,
there is prostration from the onset of the disease, the throat is dusky red,
greatly tumified, the exudate grayish, is anxious and restless, the tongue is
dry, parched and cracked, the pupils widely dilated, photophobia, and a sense
of fullness everywhere.
Clinical: Has a special affinity for the skin where it produces an
eruption similar to that of scarlatina. When diseases suddenly turn to a
zymotic state it seems to be able to change them to a mild one. Like Verat-v.,
when the impress of the finger leaves a white mark on the skin, that remains
long. With these zymotic states there is pain in the neck and occiput. When
the rash, in scarlet fever or measles, comes out in dark irregular patches, inter­
spersed with small vesicles, worse on forehead, neck and chest. Its great
characteristic: Stupor or indifference, sighing and livid purple skin. Produces
a more profound stupor than Bapt. Low: adynamic forms of disease, prostra­
tion sudden and extreme, torpor, vomiting, small rapid pulse; fevers with
stupor, indifference and sighing. Will kill the canary if hung by the tree
while the tree is in flower. Attacks characterized by: fulness of the head,
with heat, burning, darting pains in the temples and occiput, vertigo and
nausea. The odor affects asthmatics, women and children more than men,
and old persons least of all. Scarlet fever, diphtheritic, ichor from the nose,
throat dusky red, exudate grayish, swollen externally and internally; or, de­
pressed, the eruption slow to appear and is of livid hue, is stupid, diphtheritic
infiltrate, throat swollen; or, deep coma, tip of nose and limbs cold, rash pale
violet, discharges involuntary. Diseases characterized by capillary congestion
in spots that are red and mottled.

ALCOHOL
Clinical: In diphtheria it destroys the bacteria and dissolves the
patches, prevents terrible prostration, w’hen used in the form of brandy and
water. Used as a tooth wash, prevents decay. Felons may be cut without
pain if first held in ice cold alcohol for awhile. Apply direct to bums, scalds,
bruises or gatherings. Bed-sore, saturate a cloth and apply. Itch, rub
it in. All drunks, especially women, are said to exhale from their bodies, so
much spirituous vapor that they are apt to catch fire when exposed to a
lighted candle, burning their bodies. Apoplexy, insensibility, ears roar, arms
and hands tremble, chorealike convulsions, hyperaesthesia. Drunks expose
all their weaknesses, and disclose all their secrets, except misers. The coarsest
desires become uncontrollable. Alcohol makes the English gloomy, the
French gay and the Germans brutal.

streaks with great prostration, or brown and dry. Shifting flatus in the ab­
domen with cutting pains and nausea. Child coughs on getting angry. Lum­
bago and sciatica, vertebrae feel as if rubbed against each other. Adynamic
smallpox. The most characteristic essential of Ant-t. is the large accumula­

vomiting and drowsiness, which becomes relieved by expectoration or vomit­
ing. Spasms of young children with cyanosis.

APHIS CHENOPODI GLAUCI (Aphis-c-g.)

Clinical: Violent toothache in bed only better after a warm sweat
breaks out (Clarke and Hering claim Aphis-c-g. is the only remedy having

applications and motion, is especially worse around 5 p. m., is thirstless, a
face that is puffy and pale, swollen lips, is apathetic, indifferent, restless and
fidgety, sensitive to touch, feels bruised and sore, especially in the abdominal

ward and bend the limb, suffers greatly from a dirty skin, is worse in the
warm room and looking into the open grate.
Clinical: The pains are always sudden, stinging. As a rule the patients
are not restless, but in hydrocephalus there is great restlessness and rolling of

Cysts on ovaries. Infants go a long time without passing urine, screetch and
carry hand to head, cry out in sleep and kick the covers off. Scarlet fever
where the urine is loaded with albumen. Scanty urine in boys with hydrocele
or enormously distended foreskin who shriek every time the call to urinate
comes. Urine retained in nursing infants. Inflammatory complaints in women
when the abdomen is sore, bruised and painful. Watery diarrhoea is com­
mon with Apis. Eye troubles: worse looking into open fire or from radiated
heat, better cold aplications; or, when characterized by: serus exudation,
oedema, sudden piercing pains, worse heat; or, asthenopia from using the eyes
at night, eyes red, burn, sting, tears; or, asthenopia during eruptive fevers or
diseases. Body completely covered with urticaria, stings, burns, wants to be
bathed in cold water. All the complaints come on with violence and a rush,
like Aeon, and Bell. Mania in women from sexual excesses or suppressed
menses. Extremely valuable when the child bores its head back into the pil­
low, is stupid and gives an occasional piercing shriek. A hot bath in brain
troubles brings on convulsions, like Opi. Congestion to brain, meningitis,
cerebro-spinal meningitis, opisthotonos, child gradually going into a state of
unconsciousness, lies in a state of stupor, one side of the body twitches the
other motionless, pupils contracted or dilated, eyes red, face flushed, stupor
or unconsciousness, child decidedly deathlike if placed when it can look into
the open grate. Hives that bum, sting and itch, especially in the Fall.
Tongue: in fevers red and hot, even dry and hot; in low fevers, trembling;
in scarlet fever, dry, cracked, sore and covered with blisters or ulcerated, but
rarely red and dry; in diphtheria swollen but not heavily coated. Dentition:
gums saculated, child wakens with violent screams, red spots here and there
on the skin. Almost a specific for true diphtheria, always indicated by: great
swelling and oedema, severe stinging pains on attempting to swallow, great
inertia or stupor. Extremely valuable in inflamed throat with general stupor
and prostration. Apis differs from Bapt. in painless throat diseases by Apis
having more oedema. In advanced cases of dropsy the throat may become
painless. While thirstlessness is the rule it may be overbalanced by the 5
p. m. aggravation. The abdominal walls are always tender in all diseases,
whether the abdomen is swollen or not. In all forms of abdominal com­
plaints as peritonitis, hepatitis, pelvic cellulitis, etc., there is great tension and
tightness, not aways general but local, compelling bending forward and bend­
ing the limb. Cholera infantum, constant relapses, threatened brain trouble,
abdomen sunken, child stupid, starts suddenly, especially during dentition.
The favorable action of Apis, like that of Arum, is shown by the increase of
urine. Infants go a long time without urinating, scratching and carrying the
hands to the head, cry out in the sleep and kick the covers off. W ill stop
abortion from Ergot when the symptoms agree. Girls at puberty, hysterical,
dysmenorrhoea, awkward, drop things and laugh about it, face flushed. One
of the best remedies to bring about absorption in pleuritic exudation, like
Sulph. One of the first remedies to be thought of in the beginning of felon.
Boils and swellings with the characteristic pain. For the drugging with Apis:
Canth. The dropsies are characterized by waxy hue of the skin, whitish or
yellowish, transparent, baglike swelling under the eyes, surface of the body
bruised and burning. Acts prominently on the ovaries and uterus, with
irritation, congestion, inflammation and dropsy. Its great key-note is oedema;
its chief indications: whitish, waxy, transparent appearance of the skin, ab­
sence of thirst and scanty urine. Dropsy comes on rapidly and predominates

ARECA
Clinical: Hydrobromate of areclin contracts the pupil and acts more

not relieve. Diabetes, especially insipidus, urine very copious, turbib and of
swxet odor. Women who suffer from uterine disease, wTith pain in the joints

Bruise in the sprained ankle. Sprained ankle, even if the bone slips out of
place, bend the knee, hold on to something, and, with the toes on the ground,
roll the foot back and forth and around and around until the part slips back
home, Arn. will do the rest (D r. Margaret L. T yler). Pernicious or con­
gestive chills, violent congestion to the head, cold, sore and bruised, thirst,
chill felt severely in the stomach; or, dreadful attacks, prostration, stupor,
mottled skin, the congestion comes on suddenly. Typhoid fever will be pre­

ARSENICUM ALBUM (Ars.)

Has a burning thirst for little and often but requiring enormous quan­
tities during the sweat, is full of anguish that increases with the suffering
and drives one from place to place and bed to bed, great fear of death and
of being left alone and on going to bed, restlessness even during coma when
one moves the head even when too weak to move the body; the child wants
to go from persons to person or to be carried rapidly; extreme prostration
that comes on from the most trivial causes, burning and burning pains that
are better heat, cadaverous odor of the discharges, discharges acrid, scanty,
excoriating and putrid, always chilly and hovering over the fire, a face that
is pale, yellow, puffy, cachectic or sunken, an expression of genuine agony,
skin looking like parchment, desires his head cold and his body warm, pains
that burn and sting like red hot needles and are better heat, externally cold,
internally as if full of fire; especial aggravation around midnight, especially
just after midnight. The condition of time and temperature are especially
important with Ars. and unless those correspond in the patient failure will
be more frequent than success.
Clinical: The mental disorders are characterized by; anxiety, fear
and restlessness, the delirium more violent than that of any other remedy
except Nit-ac. Melancholy, suicidal tendency, restless, constantly changing
positions, aggravation after midnight, excessive fear of death yet despair of
life. The insane mutilate themselves. The restlessness decreases to the
limbs, later to merely rolling the head, finally lies quiet as prostration takes
the pace of the restlessness and one goes into a cadaverous aspect. Head;
symptoms alternate with the physical; desires head in an ice box and body
in a furnace, reverse of Phos.; neuralgia, stomach burns, prostration, retches,
thirst, pains burn and shoot like needles, better heat, soreness. Ophthalmia,
eyes sensitive to light, burn, lids swell, better heat. All the external ulcera­
tions of the eyeballs, and even the cornea, arc characterized by: pain (burn­

applications, reverse of Apis, frequently periodic in recurrence, beginning
every Fall and often change from eye to eye. Ciliary neuralgia w’ith fine
burning pains, better heat. Otorrhoea, discharge thin, excoriates, often fetid,
skin within the ear often becomes raw and burns. Coryza, watery, burns,
acrid, excoriates, sneezes, cannot bear the smell of food; feels best when the
nasal discharge becomes thicker. The sneezing of Ars. is no joke, it gives no
relief, it starts from a spot in the nose like the tickling of a feather. The
face is apt to be pale and puffy, even in fever, especially with gastro-entcric
troubles, sometimes pinched, drawn, hippocratic, cold or covered with cold
sweat. Neuralgia; of the face with burning pains, better heat; of the teeth,
the pains burn and tear, better heat of the stove, worse after midnight, pros­
trated, teeth feel too long and sore, gums unhealthy and bleed easily. Tongue;
neuralgia, with burning pains; in fever may be red and dry, or even brown

burning heat. Most violent gastro-enteritis, even ulceration and cancer, with
extreme thirst and irritability of the stomach. Gastralgia from least food or
drink, thinks one will die, prostration, pains burning hot, extend up sides
and all over the abdomen. Injurious effects of fruits, like China, especially
watery fruits and melons, like Zing. Drinks little and often, eats seldom
and much, reverse of Bry. Worse least cold food or drink, reverse of Phos.
Vomits with great effort, like Nux, the reverse of Apomorph. Thirstless-
ness in chronic diseases, reverse of Apis. Metro-peritonitis, nausea, vomits,
prostrated, cold sweat, tongue brown, pains bum, better heat. Piles bum
like fire, better heat. Diarrhoea, stools dark, scanty, brown or black, watery
(the watery stools are very offensive and often painless), or mucus, or even
bloody, brought on by eating or drinking, worse after midnight, preceded by
violent cutting pains and followed by exhaustion. Nephritis, acute and
chronic, idiopathic, or associated with various diseases, urine scanty, hot,
oedema and dropsy, irritable stomach and the characteristic thirst. Cystitis,
burning on urinating. The urine is scanty in nearly all diseases and sup­
pressed in Asiatic cholera and dropsy. Leucorrhoea, acrid, offensive, burning,

tion; irritable of tea drinkers and smokers; inflamed with dropsy. Sciatica,
coming on at night, anguish, pains better heat. Skin diseases characterized
by dryness, scaliness, soreness, itching and burning. Rhus often precedes Ars.
in the last stages of phthisis or tuberculosis, as the restlessness is not an Ars.

poisoning (and for chronic Rhus poisoning). Boils or carbuncles with
pepper-box like openings. Ars. and Merc-c. are the two best remedies for the
rapidly eating and spreading ulcers, such as follow the opening of a bubo
that shows no tendency to heal, Ars. is better heat, Merc-c., worse. For parts
that suddenly take on erysipelas or injured parts that suddenly turn gangren­
ous. Ulcers that eat and spread in every direction, better heat, very offensive,
burn like fire, skin cold and bluish, dry, like parchment, peel off in large
scales. Senile gangrene, desires more covering, better heat, the reverse of
Carb-v. The mucus membrane of the mouth, lips and throat tend to shrivel
and wrinkle and look like leather. The typical Ars. patient is an hydrogenoid

one, inclines to anaemia, tuberculosis or scrofula and sycosis, whose irritability
of fiber begins and ends with life itself. Enables one to withstand fatigue. Can­
cer, pains cut and burn as from hot needles or knives. Euthanasia, like
Tarant-c. No other remedy has burning so marked, better heat. The liquid
trochar in dropsy. A striking tendency to ulceration wherever cold strikes a
part. Catarrhal troubles ending in ulceration. Ars., Lach, and Thuja are
antidotes to animal poisons, they go right to the root of the evil, especially in
dissecting wounds. In the chill stage of an attack the blood flows through
the vessels like ice water, in the fever stage like boiling water. Old sinners
who feel that they must get up in the night and take a drink or they will not
be able to get up in the morning, when the first three or four drinks will not
stay down. Ars. is a poison to both plant and animal; the use of Ars. on
various articles of decoration, furniture and apparel is apt to transfer its
poisonous effects to the individual; 5 and even 2 grains have destroyed life;
Ars. causes a consuming fire to prey on the vitals, while outwardly the body is
cold, clammy and shivering; the sinking of the vital forces may be caused by
circumstances, themselves, very unimportant, and that otherwise produce little
effect, cause in Ars. patients, sudden and complete sinking of the vital force,
and is apt to occur where there is neither chemical nor physical destruction of
vital organs. Ars. is the horse’s remedy, Puls., the sheep’s, and Ant-c., the
pig’s. Ars. is the remedy for feats of long endurance. Ars. acts more promi­
nently on vegetable eating animals than on the carnivorous, the opposite of
Nux. Ars. is suitable to excess of vegetable diet, melons, strawberries and
especially watery fruits. The Tryroleans can eat as much as 6 grains of white
Ars. daily or of the sulphate of Ars. every 2 days, they claim it enables them
to carry immense loads up perpendicular mountains, and it is said to be
resorted to by those who eat vegetables only, that it helps to digest their
coarse bread and potatoes and allows them to breathe more freely and easily,
but the meat eaters have no use for it. The fine skin and glossy hair of the
young women who eat Ars. is remarkable. On board a ship where a load
of Ars. was carried exposed to the sun it caused the sailors to grow stout. Ars.
has the property of uniting animal tissues, hence taxidermists use it in stuffing
the pelts of birds and animals. The chief indications in intermittent fevers
are the irregularity and inequality of the three stages; the chill is not well
defined, the fever is, and even the sweat docs not bring relief, often the chill
and heat are intermingled. The characteristic eruption is branlike, dry and
scaly and desquamates, and has servere burning lancinating pains. Anxiety,
restlessness, prostration, burning and cadaverous odors are prominent essentials
and predominate.

irritable in both mind and body, the child crys when offered a drink, is rest­
less and tosses about, the discharges from the nose leave red streaks on the
parts over which they pass (Cepa even cats the hair from the upper lip), the
mouth, lips and soft palate are sore and burn, the angles of the mouth
cracked and bloody, the saliva excoriates, the urine dimishes or is suppressed,
sleepless, the discharges excoriate the orifices, the vital forces depressed.

but mirthful p. m., inclines to weep during the sweat, vertigo is a common
feature and is better in the open air but worse if one walks fast, the eyes get
red like raw beef, the face flushes with heat, the lips crack, the abdomen gets
cold and distended after eating, has moisture about the anus that causes itch­
ing and smarting, she has itching high up in the vagina, there is cold offensive

limb, is worse standing and especially the joints, is sensitive to a draft and
takes cold easily yet desires the open air, is better heat except the head and
croup, is especially worse walking fast, craves stimulents to overcome the
weakness.
Clinical: Calc-s. differs from Hep. in sensitiveness to air, Hep. can­
not bear the slightest exposure, Calc-s. desires it and feels better in it. Diar­
rhoea after maple sugar. Burns and scalds after suppuration sets in. Injury
to the eye from a splinter. Painful abscess in or about the anus, with fistula.
Nephralgia, severe, pain followed by pus in the urine, which weakens one
rapidly. It has, like Pvr., a tendency to formation of abscesses that have
ruptured and that are slow to heal with a continuous discharge of yellow pus.
Malignant growths after ulceration has set in, when remedies apparently well-
selected fail. Complaints from overlifting, like Rhus. Broken down con­
stitutions of drunkards. Headache, inveterate, chronic and periodic, worse
looking up, pulsating, from becoming cold and better cold air. Diplopia.

acts more intensely. It acts better in later stages of pus formation, when the
pus has found a vent. It removes purulent exudations in serous sacs, and
corneal ulcers.

CALENDULA OFFICINALIS (Celand.)

Clinical: A vulnary of the highest order under whose influence un-
laudable pus cannot possibly exist. It has great pain and soreness especially
in open tom wounds that are jagged and where the parts will not heal but
tend to suppurate and inflame, here it will tend to both promote healthy
granulations and take away both local pain and suffering. Compound frac­
tures of the skull. Lacerated wounds of the scalp. Wounds of the lids and
brows badly treated by plasters and where suppuration takes place. The odor
of the flowers is disliked by mosquitoes, and the smoke of the burning plant
will drive mice away and lizards from the house. Lacerated gums after

(74)

tooth extraction. Excoriation of the prepuce after coition. Caesarian opera­
tion for lacerated cervix. Valuable after delivery, a sponge saturated with
a hot solution and applied gives great comfort. Fomentations intermittently
applied, hot, to forming abscesses is far better than poultices. Hot compresses,
oz. to the pint, in pneumonia. If it does not abort an abscess, it favors matur­
ing and ultimate healing. Like Sulph-ac., it is useful in preventing excessive
suppuration and putridity, both keep septic germs from sores and wounds.

as death yet will not be covered, even in a cold room one throws the covers
off and even when unconscious, this coldness may be mingled with heat, is
sensitive to cold, during the pains one wants the heat but when the coldness
comes on one wants to be uncovered though the body is cold and blue, anguish
at night as if dying and is afraid to get out of bed in the dark, has great fear,
the more violent one suffers the sooner one becomes cold and must uncover
or be uncovered even if in a cold room, flashes of heat often mingle with the
rending, burning, tearing pains either in inflamed organs or along the nerves,
is thrown into a frenzy from the pains and tenderness, is hard to manage as
nothing suits, has spells of heat on becoming cold, nose is cold and pointed,
face pale and cold, lips bluish, eyes sunken, breath and tongue cold, tongue
blue, thirst violent but later becomes thirstless (reverse of Apis), the abdomen

lethargy, can scarcely be aroused, or loss of consciousness or delirium. Sun­
stroke especially with beating pains in the cerebellum. The predominating
head pains are throbbing or constrictive as if knotted up, with the characteristic
coldness. The continued and frequent use of Camph. is often followed by
obstinate, persistent inflammation of the eyes. Coryza, dry, first stage, sneez­
ing and flatulence. One drop on loaf sugar oft repeated is said to cure a
cold in one day. Like Nux and Phyt., it produces tetanic convulsions, the
teeth show, but the deathly coldness of Camph. distinguishes it from both.
Vomiting and diarrhoea cease suddenly, lies almost unconscious, blue face
and hands, body icy cold, voice hoarse and weak. Cholera infantum, sudden
vomiting and diarrhoea, pain and the characteristic coldness. Cholera: early,
stools loose and contain fecal matter; later, body cold and dry, sudden sup-

without change in color, face pale, livid, icy cold, purple and distorted, upper
lip drawn up exposing the teeth, eyes fixed, wild and staring, foam at mouth,
unconscious look, cramps in calves, sudden sinking of strength; Camph. comes
in at the commencement and especially if the discharges are suppressed, later
comes Cup. if the cramps are most prominent, or Verat. if the discharges are
the most prominent; the collapse in cholera usually occurs before the alvine
discharges, while that of Carb-v. is rather from the discharges; as a prophy­
lactic in cholera, give drop doses of the tr. 3 t-i-d. Excessive stranguary,
urine retained in Asiatic cholera or from Canth. poisoning. Chordee with
suddenly suppressed gonorrhoea, stranguary and the characteristic coldness,

drops, every hour. Scrofulous children are most sensitive to Camph. It
antidotes or modifies every vegetable remedy. Elderly withered people who
take cold at every exposure to weather and become chilly. Its action is rapid
and intense though evanescent. Camphor is said not to be given if there is
perspiration or should be stopped as soon as that occurs. In colds with
sneezing give at once during the chilly stage. Sudden and rapid prostration
with tendency to collapse from suppression of measles, shock or other causes,
especially when prostration, coldness and collapse are the chief indications.

The urethral symptoms are very similar to those of Canth., Canth. having
more tenesmus, Cann-s., more burning and smarting.

CANTHARIDES (Canth.)

from fright or being chilled, or great changes of weather, worse during the
menses. Fissures in bends of the joints in old cases of salt rheum. Fistulous

Clinical: Cutting wisdom teeth, the irritation causes stoppage in the
nose and deafness with discharge from the left ear.

CHAMOMILLA (Cham.)
Is extremely sensitive, uncivil, snappy, cross, peevish, spitful and irritable;
the child is only stilled by being carried about in the arms; always com­
plaining, whines, restless, wants this and that which is refused when offered
and pushed away, wants to be petted constantly and if it cannot have what
it wants moans and crys pitiously; extremely sensitive to pain, tongue yellow,
taste bitter, has one red cheek only, feverish, thirsty, the pains are almost
always semilateral are worse at night and almost drives one frantic, drives
one out of bed and compel one to walk and are better from coffee and heat

tress. Convulsions of children from excitement, especially one cheek red the
other pale, hot sweat. For those who have taken opium and bromides. The
characteristic mental symptoms as given above dominate all the diseases
requiring Cham, whether pathological states appear in the pathogenesis or
not. (T hat is undoubtedly true with ALL remedies, as no remedy produces
directly any pathological state: A. P .). Ought not to be given to patients
who bear pain with resignation and patience. Cham, has a very bad temper,
but Nux is malicious, fiery and wants to fight at the drop of the hat, Cham,
is typical of anger. Otalgia, sore, swollen, hot, the pain drives one to dis­
traction. It is classical that with Cepa., Cham, and Puls., one can cure nearly
all earaches of children. Catarrh, nasal, unable to sleep. Coryza during cold

it comes on after anger, cheeks red, sweat hot. Diarrhoea: green silmy mucus
stools; chopped white and yellow; often changeable in color; often like
chopped eggs and spinach (Aeon., like chopped spinach in flakes) ; smells like
decayed eggs; especially during dentition or after taking cold; colic and
soreness of the anus. Haemorrhage, uterine, flow irregular, dark and clotted;

differ; differs from Bell, to which it is complementary in that Bell, acts
more on the cranial nerves. The paralytic sense in Cham, in any part is
always accompanied by drawing, tearing pains and they rarely occur without
the paralytic numb sensation in the part. Its excessive sensibility of the
nerves is only equaled by Coff., Nux and Opi. Is especially useful in women
and children of a nervous, excitable temperament, and so effectually calms
nervous excitement that it has been termed “the opium of Homoeopathy.”
Sleeplessness from nervous excitement.

in young girls who never had the desire before. Colds that settle in the womb
and bring on laborlike pains. Hyos. and Verat. are two remedies that cure
and make nervous and hysterical women more sensible. Cough: paroxysmal
and periodic from excitement, in sensitive and hysterical girls with spinal irri­
tation, comes on when lying down, is dry, hacking, chilling, racks the whole
body, better sitting up; the characteristic cough is dry, racking, harassing,
worse lying down; after measles; coughs till exhausted. Spinal meningitis
with convulsions. Chills, congestive, during malaria. Chorea, clutching
motion of the hands and other incoherent muscular movements. Stupid,
seems to be unconscious, but picks at the clothes and clutches at the air. Eyes:
spasms of the ocular muscles, distorted or rolling. Objects appear double, in­
distinct or large. Paralysis: of the neck of the bladder, urine involuntary;

difference being that Hyos. does not produce the cerebral hyperaemia so
characteristic of Bell, nor the intensely high degree of maniacal excitement
caused by Stram. The chief therapeutic value of Hyos. is said to be in acute
mania and delirium. The excessive nervous excitement is said to be charac­
teristic.

HYPERICUM PERFOLIATUM (Hyperic.)

Suffers mainly from the effects of injury to the nerves, especially to the
sentient nerves which become extremely sore and bruised, having a tendency
to lockjaw, all the pains from the injured part tend to travel upward and
especially toward the jaw ; the pains are excruciating, is forgetful, the muscles
jerk, has attacks of weakness during changes in the weather, is irritable, and
melancholy, has a suffering expression, the mouth and lips are dry and burn,
is thirsty and belches while drinking water, is sensitive to cold and to foggy
weather, is worse in damp weather and before a storm.
Clinical: The essentials for this remedy are especially found almost
exclusively in the generals as expressed above. Whether the injuries are due
to either crushed or lacerated (especially the fingers or toes), punctures, con­
tusions, tacks, needles, splinters or other causes, the above—Graphic Picture—
will point directly to the remedy. Pain in old cicatrices. In punctured
wounds give Led. at once, it will often, if applied early, arrest and always
modify, the occurence and ulceration of the flesh and sloughing in the slight­
est form of lacerated wounds. While Am. has bruised soreness of the flesh,
Ham. has bruised soreness of the veins, and Hyperic. bruised soreness of the

(150),

n , r \\r > Original from

nerves, especially the sentient nerves, while Ruta has bruised soreness of the
tendons and their insertions and the bones and cartilages about the joints,
lingering sore bruised places. Led. is valuable in the prevention of trouble
from accidents to the ends of the fingers, or if one steps on a nail, tack or
stick, or if a splinter gets under the finger nail or into the foot, or if a nail
gets into the foot of a horse pull the nail out and give the horse a dose of
Led., it will take care of it; and where dull aching pains remain in the injured
part, but if the pain shoots up the limb go to Hyperic. at once. Led. prevents
tetanus in horses that have picked up a nail, but if jerking comes on go to
Hyperic. at once. Wherever the parts are full of sentient nerves give Hypcric.
at once; in punctured wounds give Led. at once. Wounds: that yawn and
swell up and do not tend to heal, edges look dry and shiny; inflame, bum,
sting and tear. Hyperic. removes the effect of local shock and preserves the
vitality of torn and lacerated members nearly separated from the body. After
a surgical operation where much cutting has been done, with great prostration,
coldness, much oozing of blood and cold breath, give Stront-c. After a fall
where the least motion of the arm or neck extorts cries. Pain following am­
putation especially.

pulse as slow as that of Dig., the pains are worse motion and come and go
with the sun, being increasingly worse till noon and better toward p. m., and
are tearing, crushing and pressing. There is marked palpitation while lying
on the left side, sometimes better sitting erect but worse bending forward;
the pulse is intermittent and sometimes skips a beat, the memory and mental
faculties are perfect in a recumbent posture, has vertigo, nightly paroxysms

the brightness of the suns rays. All the organs are related to each other, but
especially the heart and the kidneys. Associated with the kidneys are:
dyspnoea and eye disease. Bright’s disease during pregnancy, vision disturbed,
and stitching, tearing pains. Herpetic eruptions disappear and violent neu­
ralgic, shooting, tearing pains in those nerves supplying the parts where the
eruption was. Kalm. is most useful where the pains are stitching and tearing
or cutting and shooting. Pains appear in the limbs as if the nerves were
being pinched with pincers or being torn to pieces, coming and going suddenly.
Cardiac troubles, as hypertrophy of the heart and valves from suppressed
rheumatism; pulse slow, extreme anguish about the heart, dyspnoea, pains
wander about the heart and extend down the left arm; alternate with rheu­
matic attacks; hypertrophy and valvular insufficiency, or thickening after
rheumatism. Rheumatism: pains shift to the heart and involve the arms and

burning in the chest like red hot coals. Urticaria after the menses. Gangrene:
senile, horrible odor, burning pains; ulcers tend to become gangrenous. T he
chief charateristit of Kreos. is said to be the corrosive, acrid character of its
secretions. Acute aggravation of chronic keratitis, hot, smarting tears.

LAC CANINUM (Lac-c.)

Is very sensitive and apt to be imaginative, the symptoms all change
about, especially suddenly from side to side, only to return to that side perhaps
in a few hours, leaving the originally affected side free; the abdomen is so
sensitive and one cannot bear it touched. If one has vertigo while walking
one seems to be floating in the air, or if lying as if one was not on the bed,
the rheumatism changes sides and with the same abandon as the other trou­
bles, one is under the impression that all one says is a pack of lies; one imagines
and dreams that one is infested with snakes or that one’s nose belongs to
someone else; sounds seem far away, the mouth is putrid, the mucus mem­
brane and teeth appear coated with a shiny, fuzzy, silvery substance like
milk; the throat pains push toward the left ear, gas escapes from her vagina.
Clinical: Ulcers, red, dry, glistening. While her fingers are not
worse pressure she would scream if they touched, or were touched. Head­
ache: worse turning the eyeballs up and using the eyes on fine work; better
heat. Rheumatism: better cold and cold applications; of lower limbs, affects

like silver); the pain in the throat pushes up toward the ear; tonsilitis and
sore throat, repeatedly changing sides; yellow patches; submaxillaries swollen;
beginning and ending with the menses. Neuralgia of the face, worse exertion,
better warm applications but only cold relieves the soreness. Sore throat begins
and ends with the menses. Lac-c., like Puls., will dry up the milk, Lac-c. is
touchy, Puls., mild and weepy. Evidently the changing of sides, and the
complete relief from the side just left is due to congestion rather than to the
disease, since no real disease could disappear and reappear with the rapidity
that the Lac-c. states do. Coryza: discharge of thick, white mucus, or one
nostril stopped, the other free and discharging, alternating sides; discharge
acrid, upper lip raw. Menses: too early, too copious, in gushes, bright red,
viscid, stringy; breasts swollen, painful, sensitive before and during. M ilk:
to dry up; to bring back or to increase it. Backache: unbearable, across
supra-sacral region to right natis and sciatic nerve; worse rest and on first
moving; spine aches from base to brain to coccyx, very sensitive to touch or
pressure. Acts best given in a single dose or repeated at regular intervals.

submaxillary glands swollen. Metritis, faint at stomach and nausea. The
symptoms are erratic.

beyond repair; in such cases no remedy avails. Wherever reaction is possible
the accurately indicated remedy will act more rapidly and more effectively

hemi-hyperaesthesia, headache, dyspnoea, convulsions. Fear in trains and
closed places.

SULFONAL
Clinical: Stupor: Headache, noises in ears. Heart weak, faints
Symptoms better cold douches.

SULPHUR (Sulph.)
Is dirty, disheveled, has extremely red orifices, especially lips, that look
as if painted, and which are sore and excoriated from the acrid secretions that
bum and excoriate the parts over which they pass; one emanates offensive
odors from the body in spite of frequent bathing, an act which one positively
detests as it aggravates and makes one sick, gets a faint gone hungry, empty
sense at the stomach around 11 a. m. (sun time) so that one can scarcely wait
for the noon lunch though one eats but little (the child grasps everything and
thrusts it into its mouth), desires sweets that disagree with one, is thirsty,
always drinking, the top of the head, palms of the hands and soles of the feet
burn, the latter so much that one is compelled to put them out from under
the covers at night to cool them off; must either walk or sit as the spine is so
weak one cannot stand, that causes one to walk stooped; is easily angered,
fault finding, has a dull mind and an aversion to business; is always red and
dirty looking, the odor of the stool is apt to follow one around as if one had
just soiled oneself; though filthy oneself is oversensitive to filthy odors;
the stools are very apt to drive one out of bed especially around 5 a. m .;
is full of catarrh everywhere and heat either aggravates or brings on one’s
troubles; the skin is unhealthy and full of eruptions, the inflammatory troubles
have a purplish appearance; standing brings on vertigo, all one’s colds affect
the eyes, is subject to piles, drinks much and eats little, all the skin ruptions
sting, bum and itch.
Clinical: There is perhaps no remedy in the Materia Medica that
penetrates the human economy more deeply than does Sulph., nor arouses
more reactive, negative commotion in its primary pathogenetic action, or
covers so extensive a field; its dynamic effect seems to arouse every organ,
fluid and tissue of the body through the violence of its limited, direct, primary,
positive pathogenetic action. The typical Sulph. patient is said to be: angular,
lean, stooped shouldered, who cannot stand, therefore must move or sit. The
Sulph. child is dirty, filthy, cannot be washed clean, picks its nose and eats
the scabs; always has a filthy odor, dreads to be washed and cries lustily
whenever that rite is attempted. Sulph. is said to arouse reaction when the
carefully selected (but unfortunately non-indicated) remedy fails to hold or
to improve. For diseases that alternate with some form or phase of skin
trouble, especially when there is a disagreeable odor of the exhalations of the
body, with the general aggravation from and aversion to bathing; where the
skin is harsh and rough, the hair coarse, the patient weak and liable to erup­
tions. The Sulph. disposition is one of irritability, which may alternate
with indolence. Melancholy: sad, absent minded, a sense of disgrace; after

 desire frequent, ineffectual, piles, anus bums, sore; often congestive headache
and engorged liver. Bladder: catarrh, urine burns and contains mucus; in
women the urine often becomes so acrid that if a drop remains about the
genitals it will burn until it is washed away to relieve the smarting. Painful
ineffectual efforts to urinate, retention; every cold settles in the bladder
(D ulc.). Gonorrhoea, chronic, urethra bums, smarts. Nephritis, chronic.

flushes of heat to face and head; head hot, hands and feet cold. Vagina bums,
can hardly keep still. Abortion after Apis, Bell, and Sabin, fail, especially
if the cases are masked; in haemorrhage, gushing that keeps returning, think
of Psor. and Sulph. Cough, usually dry, day and night, worse lying down,
especially at night. Catarrh, laryngeal, and bronchial, attacks of suffocation.
Whooping cough, said to kill the germs, if burned in the house. Asthma,
chronic, suffocative fits the forepart of the night, burning in the chest. Pneu­
monia: valuable in the later stages, when the inflammatory stage fails to re­
solve, the lung continues dull, the cough dry, begins to have fever at night;
head, hands and feet hot; Kent says: “ If all at once, at 1, 2 or 3 a. m., the
patient begins to sink, the nose pinched, lips drawn, he takes on a hippocratic
countenance, is covered with cold sweat, too feeble in every part of his body
to move and only moves the head a little in a restless manner, unless he is
given a dose of Ars. at once he will die. T hat will warm him up and make
him feel that he will live and get well. But as soon as that is accomplished
you must give him the antidote at once, which is Sulph., or you will fail; or,
if after Ars., the patient, rallying, goes into a high fever, hot fever coming
on with a burning thirst and he cannot get enough ice water, then follow with
Phos.” Follows Bry. in hydrothorax. Tuberculosis, early, needs fresh air,

present, one rigor follows another, look to Lyc.; or, if there is continuous in­
termingling of little chillinesses and little quiverings throughout the body,
and the pulse and temperature do not correspond, look to P yr.; or, if there is
a purplish appearanceof the body, cold sweat all over, remittent or intermit­

a sulphur factory are said to prevent consumption. In personal particularliness
Sulph. is the opposite of Ars. Useful especially in a case with a paucity of

 DIPHTHERIA

(Over 58 years of practical experience with Diphtheria, under strict

homoeopathic treatment, confirms our belief that: if you intend to C U R E the
patient of this much dreaded and maligned “Disease,” and reduce its evil
after-effects to a minimum, you must treat the individual case. Homoeopathy
furnishes us the O N LY method capable of doing this. If you would suc­
ceed, study the following remedies closely):
M ERC U RIU S CY A N A TU S: The first thing that strikes one in a
Merc-cy. case is the profound prostration right from the start, so weak one
cannot stand, cold, cyanotic, collapse threatens. The most characteristic mem­
brane is greenish, though in some cases it may be white, yellow or gray, and
it spreads over a large area, even appearing at the anus. There is a marked
tendency to destruction of the soft parts of the palate and fauces. G reat
fetor, breath offensive. Secretions copious, especially the sweat. Salivary
glands swollen, saliva thick and ropy. Fauces red. dysphagia. Tongue in
ordinary cases brown; in severe cases black. Pulse intermittent, rapid, small
and without volume. Epistaxis coming on is a serious sign. Worse night
and heat of bed. Adapted to the true adynamic type. Comment: T h it
remedy must be carefully differentiated from Diphth., Merc-cy. having more
tendency to free sweat, nightly aggravation and aggravation from the heat
of the bed. O ut of 81 cases consecutively treated with Merc-cy., only one
death occured. Said Hering: “ If the remedy is given in the stage of invasion,
i. e., before exudation is deposited, it will not occur; as a prophylactic it is
equally effective; paralysis and other diseases have not been observed after
the use of this remedy. The failures have been due to the abuse of the drug.”
Now let us review the next most important remedy—
D IP H T H E R IN U M : The first thing that strikes one in a Diphth. case
is the malignant tendency, epistaxis and prostration right from the start, the
patient being too prostrate to complain. Painless cases. The membrane is
usually thick gray, or brownish-black. Collapse almost from the beginning.
Restless. Apathetic. Sopor. Stupor. Besotted look (Bapt.). Fetor: dis­
charges very offensive. Swelling: of throat, tonsils and palatine arches,
dark red; of parotid and cervical glands. Pulse rapid and weak. Weakness.
Vital reaction low. Temperature subnormal. Comment: When the patient
seems doomed from the start and all our apparently well chosen, but un­
fortunately not indicated remedies fail, let us not give up hope until we have
tried this splendid remedy, preferably in the cc attenuation. While we are
on the more serious aspect of the disease let us view—

A IL A N T H U S G LA N D U LO SA : The first thing that strikes one in an

Ail. case is the capillary congestion occuring in spots, red and mottled, the
rash coming out imperfectly because the body is so full of poison that the
poison impedes the vital force, it is dark with bluish spots, livid, purple in
patches. The membrane is not pronounced, but is usually grayish and deep
seated; in small patches; on tonsils. Malignant forms. Throat dusky red,
almost purple, swollen internally and externally. Nose obstructed, dis­
charge ichorous, fetor. Odor fetid, cadaverous, like stinking meat from the
nose and mouth. Besotted look (Bapt., Diphth.), face purple, eyes congested.

(306)

n .\ / ai. > Original from

Delirium. Vomiting. Becomes drowsy. Torpid. Skin livid, purple. Pros­
tration extreme. Comment: Ail. produces a more profound stupor than Bapt.
Prostration at the onset is a leading indication. Very useful when the disease
turns suddenly and a zymotic state appears, with pain in the head and back
of the neck. Having several things in common with this remedy is—
B A PTISIA : The first thing that strikes one in a Bapt. case is the ex­
tremely besotted look on a face that is dark red, bloated and purple, the darker
red the more Bapt. Unable to sleep because the head, body and limbs feel
scattered about and one feels that one must toss about to get the pieces to­
gether. Can swallow only liquids, the least solid food causes gagging. Pros­
tration more profound than the attack would justify. Assumes a typhoid
state (Rhus). Mouth excessively putrid, as from gangrene. Discharges and
secretions all putrid, cadaverous, penetrating. Tongue yellowish-brown cen­
ter, red shining edges. Restless, delirium or stupor. Body feels bruised, sore
(A m .). Again, having things in common with this remedy is—
RHUS T O X IC O D E N D R O N : The first thing that strikes one in
Rhus case is the restlessness. One cannot find a comfortable position any­
where, not even in bed, due to siffness, lameness, pain and soreness all over the
body, which is worse at rest and on first beginning to move, but which is re­
lieved for a time after motion. This restlessness is both mental and physical.
The membrane, not pronounced, is dark, on the right side, especially on the
right tonsil. The tongue has a triangular red tip. Rhus is apt to assume a typhoid
form (Bapt.), with mild delirium. Dreams of hard work. The glands
swell, especially the parotids (Brom.), which are inflamed; also the sub-
maxillaries, with a dark erysipelatous hue. Bloody saliva runs from the
mouth. T hirst; desires cold milk. Worse cool air and rest; better heat.
Tearing pains run down the thighs. As we leave Rhus, let us look at the
(important) links, Lyc., Lac-c. and—
LACHESIS T R IG O N O C E P H A L U S : The first thing that strikes
one in a Lach, case is the extreme sensitiveness and intolerance to touch and
pressure, especially about the swollen throat and neck. Cannot tolerate a
neck band or collar, no matetr how loose. One refuses a warm drink be­
cause it suffocates. One dislikes sleeping because one always feels worse on
entering it, but especially after it, on waking. The trouble begins on the left
side and either stays there or travels over to the right. The membrane is
predominently white, especially noticed on the left tonsil and travels from left
to right, in some cases it may be: bluish, gray, yellow, copious. The tongue
is smooth, shining, at the anterior half, cracked at the tip, and often catches
behind the teeth on attempting to protrude it. The throat is dark, purple,
constricted, worse hot drinks (Lyc., better; Lac-c., better warm or cold
drinks), worse empty swallowing, liquids regurgitate; pains extend to left
ear. The nose is obstructed at the posterior nares; lips and nose sore; dis­
charge from nose thin, sanious. Breath fetid. Glands swollen, purple. Blood
does not coagulate. Prostration extreme. Gangrene. Impending paralysis
of the heart. Pyaemia from absorption with hectic fever. Comment: As
Lach, affects the left side, and Lyc. the right, we have a wonderful remedy
that is not so particular in—
LAC C A N IN U M : The first thing that strikes one in a Lac-c. case
is the glistening, shiny, red throat, reminding one of Kali-bi. Unlike Lach.

(307)

Original from
n i
and Lyc., Lac-c. is erratic, alternates sides, thus in a way favoring both.
The membrane is predominently white, pearly; alternates sides; migratory; in
a less degree: varnished and shining like china, gray, dirty looking, yellow,
in patches, thin, loose, occasionally curdy; on the uvula and especially on the
tonsils. Swallowing, especially empty, is difficult; fluids regurgitate through
the nose on drinking. Throat better cold or warm drinks, distinguishing it
from Lach, and Lyc.; pains shoot to left ear, like Lach., discharge fetid.
Prostration. Averse to being alone, again distinguishing it from Lach., which
desires to be alone. Restless. Dreams of snakes. Cannot bear one part to
touch another, especially the fingers (Lac-f., the feet). Paralysis after diph­
theria. Worse: night, after sleep, cold wind, or cold sharp air. Comment:
This remedy has won its greatest fame as both a cure and a preventive of
diphtheria. Lac-c. is said to be best given in a single dose, or if it must be
repeated, it is best given at exact intervals. Now we come to the right link
of that trio—

L Y C O PO D IU M C L A V A T U M : The first thing that strikes one in

a Lyc. case is a very nervous, emotional, sensitive patient complaining about
the right side of the throat. The trouble begins on the right side of the
throat and either stays there or travels over to the left side. One is especially
worse from 4 to 8 p. m., also from cold and the pressure of the clothing, and
better from warm drinks. One either fills up rapidly from a small amount
of food, or has no appetite when beginning to eat but which improves while
eating; if the former it causes fullness and distension in the abdomen and
much noisy flatulence. One usually wakens with anger. The membrane is
usually gray or white, begins on the right side and either stays there or travels
over to the left, and is noticed especially on the tonsils, especially the right;
is copious and extends to the nose. High fever, swollen tongue and tonsils.
Nose obstructed; fanlike motion of the alae nasi; obliged to breathe through
the mouth with the tongue protruded. Sensitive to cold. Desires air, the
cold air relieves. The weakness and fatigue are more noticable at rest than
during motion. Exertion aggravates. Comment: Children waken cross and
angry; often lie unconscious and in deep sleep, lower jaw drops, urine scanty,
even supressed, and what does pass stains the bedding or clothing red, and a
little red sand; they cry out during sleep. Just why the claim that this
remedy should be preceded by an antipsoric remedy, preferably Nux, I have
never been able to learn. Another important right-sided remedy is—

APIS M E L L IFIC A : The first thing that strikes one in an Apis case
is the extreme aversion to heat. Cold relieves even the mind. Then the
sudden stinging pains, especially on attempting to swallow. Oedema of the
throat and uvula. Absence of thirst. Heat of bed intolerable. Throat
bright rosy red. Membrane prevailingly white; on tonsils, right and uvula;
or it may be dirty, grayish, tough or white like scabs. Tonsils and fauces as
if covered with glossy varnish. Tongue dry, red, swollen, not heavily coated,
blisters on borders. Apathy. Indifference. Even unconscious. Stupor dur­
ing the progress of the disease. Restless. Nose often cold at tip in the be­
ginning. Face hot, bright red, even livid. Aversion to warm drinks and
food (Lac-c., better). Abdominal walls apt to be sore and bruised. Urine
free, pale. High fever. Dyspnoea. Skin dry, hot; red rash may appear.
Sleepy, weak. Prostrated. Generally worse least pressure and especially at

( 308)

_______ Original from

 5 p. m. Comment: Paralysis may follow. Said to be almost specific for true
diphtheria. Throat may become painless, like Bapt., in advanced cases, but
Bapt. has less oedema. Apis makes its progress slowly; its reaction slow,
therefore should not be changed too soon. Whenever its symptoms come on
with too great violence they may be usually antidoted with Carb-ac. The
increased flow of urine shows its favorable effect, like—
ARUM T R IP H Y L L U M : The first thing that strikes one in an Arum
case is the constant boring into the nose, especially into the sides of the nose,
and the picking at the nose and lips until they become sore and bleed and
raw, in spite of the pain the picking causes. Works at the nose constantly;
it becomes ulcerated. Discharges extremely offensive and excoriate the parts
over which they flow. Salivation; saliva acrid. Lips thick, chap and burn.
Angles of mouth sore, ciacked and bleeding. Mouth sore, raw, unable to
open it. Tongue red, cracked and bleeding. Submaxillaries swollen. Mind
and body irritable and effected by heat. Depression of the vital forces, raw­
ness and itching. Urine scanty or suppressed. Fetor. Malignancy. During
scarlet fever. Comment: Children are irritable and restless. Its favorable
action is shown by the incieased flow of urine, like Apis. We also have an­
other remedy whose secretions are extremely acrid in—
N IT R IC U M A C ID U M : The first thing that strikes one in a Nit-ac.
case is the offensiveness of the patient. The excretions are foul. The urine,
in odor, resembles that of a horse’s more than does the urine of any other
remedy. The throat pains are sharp, splinterlike on swallowing; worse
touch and motion. Discharges and excretions: foul; excoriate; affect the
stomach; from the nose with obstruction, making the lips sore; excoriating
from the mouth and nose, making the lips sore; of dirty green-yellowish pus.
Membrane predominently white; white patches on tonsils; occasionally gray
or yellow; deep seated; especially on uvula; extending to the nose, or toward
the posterior walls of the pharynx. Tough stringy mucus from the mouth;
breath and saliva offensive. Tongue yellow as a rule, though sometimes
white in the a. m. As of foreign body in the throat. Nausea. Vomiting.
Constantly obliged to lie down from weakness. The ulcers have a splinterlike
pain on touch. High fever. Great prostration. Sensitive to touch. Worse
Washing and noise. Comment: The odor of the urine and the splinterlike
pains should make the choice easy. The foul discharges call to mind—
A R SEN ICU M A L B U M : The first thing that strikes one in an
Ars. case is the fear and anguish; the fear of being alone. Restlessness, even
during the stupor and profound prostration, causing one to wish to change
places or beds. The anxiety mingled with fear. The burning thirst calling
for little and often, and the feeling better after drinking hot things (Lyc.).
Burning. The aggravation at or soon after midnight. The membrane is
especially wrinkled and dry; often dark and gangrenous. Discharges all
putrid; fetor great; cadaveric; from nose, excoriating. Throat swollen ex­
ternally and internally; oedematous. Stomach irritable; apt to vomit imme­
diately after drinking. Urine scanty. Pains burn. Pulse rapid, weak.
Weakness great; exhaustion rapid, from least exertion; seems out of propor­
tion to the rest of the illness; even collapse. Albuminuria. Dropsy. Severe
cases. Better heat and warm wraps. Comment: Adapted to the later stages,
marked enlargement of the lmyphatics is more apt to require Ars-i. In
irritability of the stomach we have a rival remedy in—

(309)

n i a / \/iL > Original from

 PH O SP H O R U S : The first thing that strikes one in a Phos. case is
the desire to have a stream of cold water going down the throat, which re­
lieves, but which may be vomited as soon as it gets warm on the stomach; or
wants ice in the mouth. Bodily and mental exhaustion. Discharges blood-
streaked. Throat purple, fetor horrible. Desires: cold food, especially
meat; must eat often or one faints. Restless. Weak, gone sense in abdomen.
Burning pains. Sleepy day time and after meals. Is worse p. m. until mid­
night, touch, pressure and lying on left side; better after eating. Hoarseness
after diphtheria. We have another remedy desiring cold drinks in—

PH Y TO LA C C A D EC A N D R IA : The first thing that strikes one in

a Phyt. case is the vertigo and nausea on attempting to sit up. The aching
of the head, back and limbs, stiff muscles and pain in the knees. The mem­
brane is predominently gray or white, like dirty wash-leather, on the tonsils
and uvula, usually right side; sometimes dark or ash color, or small white or
yellow spots coalescing, or dirty white, or pearly. The tongue heavily furred
and thick, mostly with fiery red tip, and great pain at root on protruding it.
Throat dry, sore, dark red, almost purple; worse hot drinks (Lach., better:
Lyc.), wants cold things; burns, often as from a red hot ball; dysphagia;
fauces congested, dark red; pharynx dry, raw; scraping; tonsils bluish, swol­
len; purple color of throat; pains shoot to ear on attempting to swallow.
Mouth and tongue ulcerated. Sore across kidneys; urine scanty, dark red;
albuminous. Worse at night. At beginning chills creep up the back; weak,
faint on sitting up in bed. From exposure to cold, damp atmosphere; or from
sleeping in damp, ill-ventilated rooms. Another remedy having pain in the
tongue on protruding it is—

KALI B IC H R O M IC U M : The first thing that strikes one in a Kali-

bi. case is the peculiar toughness and adhesiveness of the secretions, usually
copious and yellow. The membrane is predominently greenish (Merc-cy.),
especially on tonsils and uvula, next in importance: blood streaked; deep
seated; elastic; gray; isolated patches; pearly; white; yellow; fibrinous; on
palate, tonsils and pharynx; extending to nose, trachea and especially larynx.
Tongue is red, dry, smooth and cracked, and like Phyt., pains at root on
protruding it. Uvula swollen, little redness, oedematous; tonsils inflamed,
very red and swollen; neck swollen. Discharges fetid. Clinkers from the
nose leaving sore places when detached. Pulse soft. Tendency to perspire.
Weary. W eak; prostration profound. Sensitive to cold. Ulcers, if occur­
ring, are round, deep and very red. In line with this remedy is—

KALI C H L O R IC U M : The first thing that strikes one in a Kali-chl.

case is the contrast of the extreme whiteness to the yellowness of the exuda­
tions and secretions of Kali-bi. T ie membrane is predominently white. The
saliva tough and stringy. Mouth ulcerated, bases gray; gangrenous; extreme
fetor. Is always better from a warm bath» which is apt to be followed by
perspiration and quiet sleep. In color contrast we have a splendid remedy in—

N A T R U M P H O S P H O R IC U M : The first thing that strikes one in

a Natr-p. case as soon as the patient opens the mouth is the bright golden yel­
low color. Moist, creamy, golden-yellow colored coating at the root of the
tongue and on the soft palate, the rest of the tongue thinly coated and moist

(310)

i A 1i > Original from

Discharges all yellow, creamy and thick. Eructations sour. Aversion to
open air and to bathing. We have a remedy that is said to be the basis of
and responsible for the vaunted success of antitoxin, in—
CARBO LICUM A C ID U M : The first thing that strikes one in a
Carb-ac. case is the whiteness about the nose and mouth. Great tendency to
destruction of tissue (Diphth., M erc-cy.); to gangrene. Liquids regurgitate.
Breath fetid. Face dusky red (Bapt.). Discharges putrid, offensive. Urine
highly albuminous; dark, black or olive green. Pains sudden, bum, stick,
prick. Prostration profound, collapse, cold sweat; vital forces sink rapidly.
Sopor. Pulse thready. Secretions burn. Now let us close with—
B R O M IU M : The first thing that strikes one in a Brom, case is the
unusually enlarged parotids. The disease begins in the larynx and runs
upward. The membrane, not characteristic, extends to the larynx. Weak.
Perspiring. Worse left side, cold air, cold water, cold food, heat of sun,
and p. m. till midnight. Especially indicated in cases coming on from being
overheated, in persons who are sensitive to it; also for children, if it comes
on in the night after a hot Summer day. In all cases forget the diagnosis and
treat the patient. A diagnosis without the aid of proper treatment is on a
par with good wishes without food to a starving victim.

SCARLET FEVER

(Strict homoeopathic treatment has enabled the compilor of the appended

remedies to pass through all the epidemics of Scarlet Fever, measles, and
chickenpox, without the loss of a case of either, and confirms the belief that
no acute case of any kind should die. Study the following remedies and
comments closely.)
BRYONIA ALBA: The outstanding feature of Bry. is the extreme
aversion to, fear of, and aggravation from motion, even of an eyelid. Ex­
tremely irritable, does not wish any attention or even to be talked to as it
would cause one to have to move; all one cares to do is to be let alone and lie
quietly. Thirst extreme, drinks large quantities, and if at long intervals,
that alone would be sufficient to point to Bry. There is a constant longing
for something but one does not know for what. The bowels are usually con­
stipated, the stools large, hard and black as if burned, with no urging; if
loose, they are usually brown. The mouth, lips, tongue and throat are very
dry, the tongue generally furred heavily and white. The fever high, the
sweats copious and easy. Is better cool and cool applications. If delirium
comes on it is on or about 9 p. m. and lasts all night, in which one prattles
about business, or thinks one is away from home and wishes to be taken there.
Comment: O f all the remedies capable of developing and bringing out the
rash in all its glory, Bry. is the “king bee.” T hat accomplished, I firmly
believe, with good and careful nursing, would simplify every case and cut out
all after effects and deaths. There are times, however, when grave conditions
arise and take the trouble from its normal course and then Bry. becomes un-

(311)

r\: _i i__ i A/ \nl/> Original from

equal to the task. It is then that we must turn to such remedies as: Ail.
(q. v.) when the eruption comes out only in patches, or to Cup. (q. v.) when
spasms or convulsions occur, or to Zinc, when the vitality is too low and weak
to develope the rash, etc. The receding eruptions call especially for: Zinc.,
Sulph., Amm-c., Phos., etc. The suppressed eruptions call especially for: Bry.f
Sulph., Zinc., etc. Aconite is homoeopathic to scarlet rash rather than to scar­
let fever, and is one of the leading remedies. Next, and perhaps the most im­
portant of all the remedies for scarlet fever, both as a cure and preventive,
especially in the more prevalent, the smooth form, is—

BELLADONNA: The outstanding feature of Bell, is the burning

heat and redness, the heat so intense as to leave a sense of burning in the
examining fingers, the body a beautiful scarlet and dry, excitement runs high,
the pupils dilate fully giving a rather wild appearance, the face flushed
scarlet, the carotids throb violently. The mouth and throat are dry and of
scarlet color. Thirst great, restless. The pulse full and bounding. Sleepy
yet unable to sleep; starts on falling to sleep or in the sleep. Sweats, and
pains if any, come and go suddenly. Is worse from motion, light, noise, and
especially from the jarring of the bed. The delirium, if any, comes on around
3 p. m. and lasts till midnight. The rash usually begins on the throat and
chest. Comment: Bell, is the leader for the smooth form, its nearest rival:
Amm-c., next: Sulph., but if the trouble shows a malignant form from the
beginning, or shows a malignant tendency in spite of Bell., which may seem
indicated, Sulph. is to be thought of; or when Bell, fails to hold, though the
symptoms seem to call for it, Sulph. or Calc, must be thought of; Calc, espe­
cially when the rash comes out under Bell and Bell, fails to hold and the rash
begins to pale off, the face becomes pale and bloated, the urine scanty or sup­
pressed. Amm-c. has quite a resemblance to Bell, in some ways, but with
Amm-c. the rash is more inclined to be miliary, the throat darker red and
the drowsiness more complete. As we all well know every case of scarlet
fever does not indicate Bell., and the lack of that knowledge, especially by
the beginner, has caused many an otherwise good homoeopath to start all his
cases with Bell., as he starts all his colds with Aeon. T hat mistake has
caused many a long drawnout case and laid the foundation for many serious
after effects and even deaths. When the disease becomes malignant, in spite
of Bell., we cannot change too soon to such remedies as: Lach., Rhus, Hyos.,
etc., “if and when the symptoms agree.” Bell, appears to be a perfect pro­
phylactic, if not given too low, in the smooth form, but I doubt very much
its value in the miliary form. As one of the remedies for the miliary form
let us consider next—

RHUS T O X IC O D E N D R O N : The outstanding feature of Rhus is

its extreme restlessness, stiffness, lameness and soreness that allow one to find
no rest anywhere. One must be constantly on the move to ease one’s pains,
even in bed. If one rests awhile one becomes so stiff and lame one can hardly
move. The pains, if any, are worst of all on beginning to move, become easy
for awhile while moving, but one soon tires and must rest again, when one
has to do it all over again. The greatest relief is found in heat and motion.
One is anxious and restless, like Ars. The fauces become dark red and
oedematous. The tongue is red, smooth and often marked by a triangular

(312)

red tip. The cervical glands swell, and soon the left parotid gland swells and
goes right on, if not checked, to suppuration. The eruption is dark red and
miliary. The cases are apt to run typhoid with a mild delirium and one
dreams of hard work. Comment: Rhus is useful when the eruption does not
come out fully, and when it does appear it is dark red and miliary. Amm-c.
is similar to Rhus, but Amm-c. affects more the right parotid, and is less rest­
less than Rhus. Now let us turn to some of the more severe forms of scarlet
fever, as anyone can cure a case that would get well without our skill but
with good nursing. Let us first view—
A IL A N T H U S G LA N D U LO SA : The outstanding feature of Ail. is
its eruption which starts in patches that are red and mottled. The eruption
comes out imperfectly on account of the great accumulation of poison in the
body that impedes the body’s vital powers; it is dark, mixed with bluish spots,
livid, purple. The nose stuffs up; the discharges from the nose and mouth
make the lips sore. The throat is livid and swollen externally and internally.
The bowels are apt to be loose, the stools may pass with the urine. The
breathing is heavy and irregular. One becomes torpid and drowsy, lies in a
stupor, cannot understand what is said to one, the eyes congested, pupils
dilated and sluggish, teeth covered with sordes, and has a startled look when
aroused. Comment: Arum resembles Ail. in its discharges, but Arum is more
restless and constantly works with the nose. Ail. belongs to the gangrenous
type, like Amm-c., Carb-ac., Lach., etc. Ail. follows Rhus well. Next let
us review—
ARUM T R IP H Y L L U M : The outstanding feature of Arum is the
constant working at the nose; busy all the time boring into it, and into its
sides, and, in spite of the pain it causes, constant picking at the dry lips and
nose until they become raw, sore, burn and bleed; constantly picking and
screaming. The discharges from the nose and mouth are so offensive and acrid
that they excoriate the parts over which they pass leaving red streaks in their
wake. The nose and lips become ulcerated. The saliva is acrid. The lips
chap, thicken and burn, the angles of the mouth sore, cracked and bleed, the
mouth sore, raw and unable to open it, the tongue red, cracked and bleeding.
Refuses food and drink on account of the soreness of the throat. The face
becomes swollen and bloated. The urine becomes scanty or even suppressed.
Great delirium is apt to ensue. The child is apt to be very irritable and
restless. Sometimes we find a rawness down the inner side of the thighs.
Comment: Do not give this remedy too low nor repeat too often. Like Apis,
its favorable action is shown by an increase in the flow of urine. Another of
these serious remedies is—
A M M O N IU M C A R B O N IC U M : The outstanding feature of Amm-c.
is found in its somnolent state, the swollen glands, the dark red, sore throat
and the faintly developed eruption. The fluids and discharges are all acrid;
the saliva excoriates the lips. The dark red, sore throat is swollen internally
and externally; the tonsils are swollen and dark red; the glands enlarged ex­
ternally. The nose is obstructed at night; the child starts from sleep as if
smothering, and lies with mouth wide open in order to breathe. The right
parotid enlarges (Rhus. left). Prostration great. Palpitation audible, worse
every movement. Face becomes dusky and puffy. Dyspnoea as if the heart
would give out. Is sensitive to air. Great aversion to water. Especially

(318)

worse generally at 3 a. m. Comment: W hile Amm-c. is said to be inimical
to Lach., yet it will antidote Lach, in cases poisoned by Lach, or when Lach,
has been given too low and repeated too often. Amm-c. is second to Bell, in
the smooth form; it vies with Carb-ac. in the gangrenous type, and is well
adapted to malignant forms. The principal eruption of Amm-c. is miliary,
like that of Rhus, but like Bell, and Sulph., it is adapted to the smooth form;
it has many symptoms in common with Bell., and both may seem to be indi­
cated in many cases, yet the eruption of Amm-c. is miliary, while that of
Bell, is always smooth, and the throat of Amm-c. is darker red and the
drowsiness more complete, and the starting from sleep is due to the stopping
of the respiration. Another of these more serious remedies is—

Z IN C U M M E T A L L IC U M : The outstanding feature of Zinc, is its

persistently restless fidgety feet, especially p. m., and even nights in bed the
feet are constantly on the move or jerking. Excitable. Extremely oversensi­
tive. Tired. Feeble. Has a tendency to convulsions w'hich have the peculi­
arity of usually being attended with pale face and no heat. Rolls the head
from side to side. The urine becomes suppressed. One goes into a stupor
and finally complete unconsciousness. Has shocks and jerks during sleep
from which one occasionally screams out, but not so shrilly as does Apis. Is
sensitive to noise and the talking of others. Comment: Zinc, is the leading
remedy for receeding eruptions, and especially when there is inability to throw-
out that eruption, the eruption partly developed, the skin livid. Zinc, may
supplant Bell, in the smooth form by reason of its enervation. In severe cases
the skin is bluish and cold, the body heavy, the pulse almost threadlike, weak
and without volume. When the brain becomes involved tearing pains occur
especially at the base, which seem to shoot through to the eyes, and even to
the teeth; a distressing cramp-like pain at the root of the nose. If a case goes
on and the rash does not come out, the child becomes pale and livid, rolls its
head into the pillow, grinds its teeth, screams out when moved, with the
characteristic restless feet, it is Zinc., and Zinc, alone. In Cup. we have the
results coming from suppression of the eruption, with convulsions, the thumbs
clenched across the palms and screaming out; while with Zinc, the results are
due to the lack of ability to devclope the eruption, with the characteristic
restless, fidgety feet. If the case goes on in spite of Zinc., and the skin be­
comes livid and cold, the pulse filliform, and especially cold sweat, resort to
Camph. If in scrofulous children the rash fails to develope or recedes, leaving
the face unnaturally pale and bloated, then give Calc. O ur next important
remedy will be—

C U PR U M M E T A L L IC U M : The outstanding feature of Cup. is its

tendency to convulsions and spasms that usually begin in the fingers and toes,
having the peculiarity of clenching the thumbs across the palms of the hands,
the fingers clenched tightly across the thumbs, the spasms affecting especially
the flexor muscles, the muscles twitch. The convulsions and spasms may be
attended with excessive vomiting and stupor, sometimes the patient appears as
if dead. The sweat is apt to be cold and clammy. Bores the head into the
pillow. Face red or purple. Teeth often clenched. Often foam at mouth.
Drinks are apt to roll into the stomach with a gurgling sound. Pulse rapid
and small. Awakens frightened and knowrs no one. Skin bluish. Comment:
Cup. is of inestimable value when the eruption has been suppressed and the

(314)

convulsions and spasms as given above occur. The mental irritability on
waking reminds one of Lyc., and the awakened, frightened and knowing no
one, reminds one of Stram. and Zinc., but they lack the violent and peculiar
convulsions and spasms of Cup. Next we come to—

CARBOLICUM A C ID U M : The outstanding feature of Carb-ac. is

the tendency to whiteness about the nose and mouth, the marked acuteness of
the smell, the putrid discharges, the fetid odor, the marked tendency to de­
struction of internal tissue, the offensive breath, the dusky red face. The lips
become dry, cracked and painful. The tongue has a yellow fur down the
center. The fauces fiery red. Intensely bad odor from the mouth. Liquids
regurgitate through the nose. The urine apt to be scanty and red, or highly
albuminous, or albuminous and dark, black, or olive green, and greenish after
the fever. Pulse thready. Uneasy sleep with half open eyes. Cold sweat
Profund prostration. Vital forces sink rapidly. Gangrene and malignancy.
Another important remedy is—

APIS M E L L IFIC A : The outstanding feature of Apis is its extreme

aversion to, and aggravation from heat as it effects both mind and body»
while cold relieves both. Is thirstless and has an aversion to both warm food
and drink. The face may be hot and bright red, or livid. The throat is
bright rosy red, puffy and usually oedematous. The skin dry and hot, the
eruption miliary; the skin is apt to sting and itch causing great restlessness,
weeping and lamenting. The general aggravation is 5 p. m. Comment: In
the more malignant forms the mind becomes involved and the head is rolled
from side to side, and the cri encephalique appears. There is apt to be squint­
ing of one or both eyes, tongue deep red and covered with burning, stinging
vesicles. Often albuminuria during desquamation, urine scanty and high
colored, skin may be hot and cold in places. If the rash is tardy typhoid
may ensue; or ulcers may appear in the throat if the eruption is repelled or
delayed. The eyes are sensitive to bright light, but not so marked as with
Bell. In post-scarlatinal dropsy Apis vies with Lach., but Apis is thirstless,
the skin pale and waxy, and a rashlike eruption here and there. Amm-c. re­
sembles Apis, but Apis has more dropsical symptoms. Dropsy, even with
uraemic symptoms after scarlet fever. Our next remedy to censider will be—

LACHESIS T R IG O N O C E P H A L U S : The outstanding feature of

Lach, is its extreme aversion to and aggravation from touch, pressure and
heat, especially touch or pressure about the throat, about which everything
seems too tight, and hot drinks cause suffocation. Then there is aggravation
on falling to sleep, but especially after sleep, on waking, the aggravation from
heat, the purple color, the fetid breath and the tendency to malignancy. The
rash comes out slowly or imperfectly, has a dark purple hue and often inter­
spersed with a miliary rash. The tongue is apt to catch behind the teeth on
attempting to protrude it. The child is drowsy and easily falls into a deep
sleep. Comment: Cases are often complicated with membranous deposits in
the throat, the throat dark red or purple, cervical glands swell, dirty white
deposits appear on the left tonsil, the tongue coated dirty yellow at the base
with red papillae showing prominently through the coating, the pulse weak,
surface of body cool, saliva abundant and tenacious, and at times dark blood
oozes from the nose and mouth. Lach, follows Rhus well in the more

(315)

n 1 A, . W l L > Original from

adynamic types; also Bell., when in spite of Beil., though Bell, seemed indi­
cated, the case becomes malignant. In a Lach, case the disease is adynamic
and blood poisoning profound. Amm-c., while inimical to Lach., is an anti­
dote to the poinsoning with Lach., and while apparently similar, it affects
more the right side. Lach, the left, and Lach, has more sensitiveness to touch.
Useful after scarlet fever when there is oedema with black scanty urine.
Lach.’s right hand friend is—
L Y C O PO D IU M C L A V A T U M : The outstanding feature of Lyc. is
the 4 to 8 p. m. aggravation, the disease spreading from right to left, the re­
verse of Lach., the awakening cross and angry, the external sensitiveness to
warm air, the amelioration of the stomach from warm drinks. Often there
is headache at the root of the nose or over the eyes. The nose stuffs up and
one is unable to breathe through it at night; he picks at his nose and bores
into it, like Arum and Cina. Is worse after sleep or a short nap. Apt to
have one cold and one warm foot (one case could only sleep nights with the
right foot out of bed). Desires open air. Sweat often followed by thirst.
Often stupefaction and stupor. Comment: Child suddenly wakes from
sleep and cries out as if frightened and cannot be pacified, and if the case is
not arrested it becomes unconscious and deep sleep ensues, the lower jaw
drops, the urine becomes scanty or suppressed, and what does pass stains the
bedding or clothing red and deposits a little red sand, the breathing becomes
rapid with a slight rattling and a little snoring. The Lyc. patient is nervous,
sensitive and extremely irritable. Long before the case developes or before
serious symptoms appear Lyc. will be called upon by the child's waking
cross, irritable, kicking the clothing off and striking at those about it. “The
element of irritability and the absence of symptoms characteristic of the remedy
lead one to Lyc. Another one of our most important remedies is—
SU L PH U R : The outstanding feature of Sulph. is the extreme redness
of all orifices of the body and the acridity of the discharges that excoriate
those discharges, the lips and eyelids are red as if painted, and that alone is
almost enough to fix the choice on Sulph. One is so hot and the soles of the
feet burn so at night that one kicks the covers off, or puts the feet out of
bed to cool them off, and if one gets too warm in bed one complains of other
troubles. If the bowels become loose the stools burn and excoriate the anus
which becomes fiery red» and one is often driven out of bed at 5 a. m. to go
to stool, the stool having a bad odor which one cannot get rid of. One
hates to be bathed or washed, it aggravates. One complains of a weak, faint,
hungry sense around 11 a m. One is quite thirsty but rarely hungry. Is
sleepy during the day but wakeful at night. Comment: Sulph. and Zinc, are
the leading remedies for the receding eruption. Sulph. vies with Bell, in the
smooth form, and may be equally indicated in the beginning, in that it is the
chronic of Bell., but here Bell.'s scarlet redness is more pronounced generally,
that of Sulph. more at the orifices. Think of Sulph. in relapsing cases. An­
other important remedy is—
A RSEN ICU M A LB U M : The outstanding feature of Ars. is the .
extreme anguish, restlessness and fear, the fear of death and especially the fear
of being alone, the great restlessness which is associated with extreme exhaus­
tion or prostration and is continuous even after one has gone into a stupor,
and with it one has a desire to change beds. Great thirst which calls for

(316)

little and often as the stomach is so irritable as to not tolerate large quan­
tities, hot drinks relieve and have a soothing effect. Is chilly generally and
craves warmth and warm wraps. One is generally worse at or soon after
midnight and especially around 1 a. m. The discharges are apt to be cadaver­
ous and those from the nose apt to excoriate. The urine scanty. The pulse
rapid and weak. During the fever is apt to desire to be covered, cold drinks
are apt to produce chilliness, pain and instant vomiting. Comment: Ars. is
adapted to gangrenous types. Also when the rash does not come out properly
and the child is thrown into convulsions, lies pale and in a kind of stupor in
which it is restless and moans, then suddenly it seems to arouse and immedi­
ately go into convulsions, then relapses again into a stupor. Useful after
Rhus when the parotids swell and suppurate. Another valuable remedy is—

M U R IA T IC U M A C ID U M : The outstanding feature of Mur-ac. is

the great muscular exhaustion, the hanging jaw, the continual sliding down
in bed, and as the case goes on the stool and urine become involuntary, a sort
of paralytic weakness. The body is intensely red and looks like a boiled
lobster. The head congested. The face bright red. Great drowsiness. The
rash comes very sparingly and scattered irregularly over the body and is inter­
spersed with petechiae, with bluish or purple spots that remind one of Ail.
The child is restless and will not be covered. As the disease progresses the
akin becomes purplish and the feet decidedly blue, a thin discharge from the
nose excoriates the lips and makes them sore, most intense prostration, the
general aggravation occurs about 10 or 11 a. m., the mouth may be studded
with ulcers having a black or dark base and dipping deep in, the pulse inter­
mits, the arms constantly restless and must be constantly on the move (Zinc.,
the feet). Comment: Often a few hours before the eruption appears the
patient lies in a stupified state and when the eruption does come out it spreads
rapidly. Mur-ac. is adapted to the malignant types and cases complicated
with diphtheria. W e must not overlook—

PH O SPH O R U S: The outstanding feature of Phos. is the insatiable

desire for cold drinks, the colder the better, but sometimes the stomach is so
irritable that the cold drinks are vomited as soon as they become warm on the
stomach and the thirst returns. The disposition is irascible and vehement,
apathetic, tired and indifferent. Restless. Hungry. The chest feels tight or
as if one had a load on it. Is generally worse from p. m. till midnight and
from lying on the left side. Feet apt to be icy cold. Tired in the a. m. as if
one had not slept enough. Comment: Is adapted to the gangrenous and re-
ceeding types, the latter when suddenly repelled with chest affections and
tendency to typhoid states with apathy yet restless. I will here stop with—

S T R A M O N IU M : The outstanding feature of Stram. is its violence,

its excitement which may go on to rage. The flushed face which looks wild,
anxious and fearful. The hot head. High fever. Often raging and violent
delirium is apt to ensue. The cold limbs. While one desires light and com­
pany yet in one’s anxiety one turns away from the light since one is par­
ticularly aggravated from a bright light. The heat is so intense that it may
be mistaken for Bell. The child arouses from sleep and clings to those near.
The hallucinations cause fright. The throat and fauces are dry but are not
relieved by drinking. Has violent thirst even though there is an aversion to

(3 1 7 )

Original from
n / A i \ f ' \ I / >
all fluids and water. Is constantly restless. One looks like a boiled lobster.
Comment: If convulsions occur they are apt to alternate with rage. Some­
times the child will only go to sleep in a lighted room. The fever of Stram.
is so intense that it may be mistaken for that of Bell., but that of Bell, is
said to be always remittent while that of Stram. is more continued. The hal­
lucinations of Stram. are dark, while those of Bell, are fiery and shining. The
eruption of Stram. is less bright than that of Bell, and shows a disposition
to recede and fade; the urine scanty or even suppressed, delirious, hallucina­
tions and convulsions, dry throat compelling frequent drinking, tongue swollen
or paralyzed, hanging out of the mouth.

It is to be remembered that any remedy in the Materia Medica may be

called upon in the treatment of any disease, so that only the more frequently
indicated remedies have been reviewed in both Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever.
