XXI PREFACE. 
Long years of practice and experience brought me 
to the conclusion, that the long, many-sided text 
books and descriptions in the manuals with the long 
words, are well enough for future reference, but too 
long for the beginner and student to secure a quick, 
correct diagnosis. A much better foundation can be 
laid with brevity. 
This book is of great value to the physician and as 
an infallible guide for the student to pass examina- 
tion of double value. Further, it is a welcome friend 
of the people in time of danger, before the physician 
can be at hand. 
It contains all the acute and chronic, female and 
children diseases and all the poisons with their speedy 
antidotes. 
Symptoms and therapeutics are written very brief 
and the prescriptions (1,000) given accurately and 
well approved. 
The examination of urine and the sediments, as 
also that of the drinking water, are given very dis- 
tinct and accurate. The Author. 
VORREDE. 
Langjaehrige Praxis und Erfahrungen brachten 
mich zu der Ansicht das die grossen, vielseitigen 
Abhandlungen in den Lehrbuechern mit langen 
Worten, zur ferner Ausbildung und Nachschlagen 
gut genug sind, jedoch eine schnelle und sichere Diag- 
nose zu stellen fuer den Anfaengerund Studirenden, 
zu lang sind. 
Mit der Kuerze laest sich ein viel besseres fundament 
legen. Dieses Buch ist fuer den Arzt so wie dem 
Studirenden, Letzterem doppelt, besonders auch bei. 
dem Examen von grossem Werthe. 
Ferner ist es fuer das Publicum in der Noth will- 
kommen, ehe der Arzt bei Gefahren zur Stelle sein 
kann. 
Es enthaelt Alle acute und chronischen, so wie 
Frauen und Kinder Krankheiten, auch Alle Vergif- 
tungen und die schnell zu gebrauchenden Gegenmittel. 
Symptomenind Therapie sind in aller Kuerze abge- 
fasst unddiebewaehrtesten Recepte (1.000) beigefuegt. 
Die Urin und Sedement Untersuchungen, so wie 
des Trinkwassers, sind auf's genauste und sehr ver- 
staendlich beschrieben. Der Verfasser. Diseases of the Brain and its Membranes, 
Krankheiten,des Gehirns und der Gehirnhaeute. 
i. Commotio-Cerebrie. Gehimerschuetterung: 
Concussion of the brain can come from a direct in- 
jury to the skull as well as from a fall on the seat or 
from a blow against the jaw. In difficult cases un- 
consciousness; loss of sensibility and motility; eyes 
sunk in; pale and weary-looking face and pinched 
nose; altered features and death-like appearance; the 
patient does not see, hear or perceive anything; weak 
in-and expiration; the pulse is small, seldom, weak 
and hardly noticeable; by some patients the pupils 
are dilated, but by most of them contracted and no 
reaction to the light. Sure symptoms are to have 
hands continually on the sexual parts, and when 
asking them questions, give absurd answers and 
low for themselves. Cold hands and feet; invol- 
untary evacuation of urine and the bowels (the ring- 
muscle of the anus and bladder relaxed). The case 
ends fatal, or the patient recovers slowly. It takes 
many months before the memory will be all right. 
Therapeutics-. Irritable medicine hypodermic; cam- 
phor, aether in the beginning until the patient has the 
appearance of a living being again. Warm footbaths; 
cold cloth or ice on the head; place him in a warm bed 
with head high and warm water bottles to his feet and 
body. Aq. ammon. to smell and (if he can swallow) 
give wine, coffee, chamomille-tea; later Infus, of 
arnica with naphta; rub the abdomen and extremi- 
ties in with: 
R. Ol. terebinth. 
Aq. ammon. 
Spir. camphor. 
Spir. sinapis. aa. oz. 2. 
M. F. L/inement. 
D. S. 3 times daily to rub in. 
Laxative aud Emetic: If gastric complication or 
intoxication proceeded, give 10 grs. tartar emetic. 
When the pulse becomes regular and the respiration 
strong, give no irritating remedies, but symptomati- 
cal treatment. Keep the head cool and the feet warm. 
If a hemorrhage has created, support resorption. 
2. Compressio-Cerebrie. Gehirn-Druck. 
The cause of the pressure can be very different; it 
may be bone-splinter, a strange body or blood coagu- 
lation that acts compressive. The chief symptom is 
the more or less extended lameness. By sudden ap- 
pearance it is similar to apoplexia. Unconsciousness; 
difficult respiration; irregular, slow (sometimes quick- 
er than normal) pulse; lameness exists in the form of 3 
hemeplegia; often convulsions; seldom vomiting. In 
other cases there is no complete unconsciousness and 
the patient is only stunned. 
Therap.: Strange bodies and bone-splinters must 
be removed. If hemorrhage from a wound cannot be 
stopped, it must be ligated. Ice-cold cloths on the 
head; laxative. 
For restlessness: small doses of Morph, hypodermic, 
y. Hcemorrhagia-Cerebrie. Hemorrhage of the Brain. 
Gehirnbluthung. 
This sickness is more due to people up in years. 
(50 or over.) 
Symptoms: Headache; dizziness; restless sleep; 
tingling in the ears; sparks before the eyes; cramps 
and lameness in the extremities; the attack comes on 
suddenly, like befallen with apoplexia; with a loud 
scream the patient falls down unconscious; the res- 
piration is laborious, snoring by every expiration and 
the cheek blows up; pale (or in consequence of the dis- 
turbed respiration, stagnation of the veins) cyanotic 
face. The pulse can be different, sometimes full and 
slow, or frequent, small and irregular. Often the 
hemorrhage shows lameness during the attack; gener- 
ally in the form of hemeplegia, the lodging of the ex- 
travasat on the opposite side of the body and affect- 
ing only those face-muscles that go to the corner of 
the mouth and nose by bringing the tongue forward. 
This condition as described answers the seat of the 
hemorrhage. 
Therap.: Loosen all the clothing. Vene-section is 
indicated when there is a sign of congestion and 
the blood flows too much to the head. By contrary 
condition (weak heart-action) stimulating remedies. 
If the patient can swallow give wine, a: th er, camphor; 
contrary, hypodermic injections of gether or camphor; 
rub and brush the skin; sinapism on the chest and 
calves; Aq. ammon. to smell; sprinkle with cold water; 
irritating injections; clysma of cold water 3 parts and 
vineger 1 part, in the rectum; ice-cold compresses on 
the head; rest; laxative; antiphlogistic diet; if weak, 
wine and coffee. Vesicants on the back of the neck; 
light diet; wine and coffee should now be given with 
great care. The inflamation-process must be entire- 
ly over before the hemeplegia can be treated.

tingling in the ears; hard of hearing; strabismus; ve- 
hement, deep-sitting headache; heavy tongue; difficult 
speech; the symptoms are half-sided; sudden half-

£ Diagnosis: The slowness of the sickness, the pres- 
ence of consciousness and the paleness of the face, 
assures there can be no mistaking for apoplexia. 
Therap: By prolonged sickness an entire cure is 
impossible. If there is characteristic inflamation 
present, give strict antiphlogistic remedies. Regu- 
late the se- and excretion and digestive functions; 
rubefacient; irritable clysma; tonic and aromatica;

7. Phthisis-cerebrie. Gehirn-Schwind sucht. 
Symptoms: Permanent pain of a certain place in 
the head, rising and diminuation are capable (the 
former in the evening and the latter in the morning) 
loss of memory; disturbances of the mind, nose and 
ears; Amaurosis; half-sided or total lameness, later 
otitis; suppuration out of the nose and the processus- 
mastoideus. This sickness can come from operation, 
ligation of a head-artery, from inflamation of the 
inner ear, nose, or from the rear portion of the phar- 
ings and spread with the course of the carotids to the 
brain. 
The rap.: Eeeches behind the ears and on the back 
of the neck; ice-compresses on the head and high po- 
sition for the same; laxative and diuretica; sennae; 
♦calomel with jalap. Eater tonic. 
8. Tuberkel-cerebrie. Gehirn-tuberkein. 
Symptoms: Numb pressure and vehement pain on 
a circumscribed place of the head; from time to time, 7 
dizziness. After long standing, attacks of epilepsia 
in uncertain periods (does not show any aura-epilep- 
tica). Again after long standing it comes to half- 
sided or total lameness. Head-phenomenen contin- 
ues; idiot ism. 
Diagnosis: By inflamation of the brain the pain 
is mostly all over the head (not only in one place). 
Tuberkel are distinguished from epilepsia through 
the pressure, pain in the head, and the lacking of 
aura epileptica. From apoplectic lameness through 
the development of the disease. 
Therap.: The process of this sickness, from which 
the tuberculous form originates (Lung-tuberkel) 
must be treated first. Leeches on the back of the 
neck; Unguent, hydrarg. mercur. to rub on the head; 
irritating foot-baths; laxative; Ferr. Jodat. Prohib- 
it sexual irritation (coitus) and brain work. 
9. Tuberculosis-cerebrie of Children. 
Symptoms: This comes mostly by children from 3 
to 7 years old and mostly in the hemisphaera. The 
symptoms are many and follow in uncertain periods. 
The braiti symptoms are divided in acute and chronic. 
The phenomena continue 2 weeks to 2 years. The 
sickness begins with headache which is followed by 
vomiting; interruption of the mind; convulsions; 
sudden attacks of epilepsia or convulsions and death. 
Sometimes it begins with irregular characters of hy- 
drocephalus acutus, encephalomalacia, or that the 
symptoms are in different states, the first followed 
quickly by the others. This irregularity of symp- 
toms by the acute period is an essential circumstance 
which gives a sure explanation of such cases, which 
the authors call the abnormal form of hydrocepha- 
lus acute, (while often the physician is called too 
late and had no chance to see the patient in the first 
state). See hydrocephalus acute. 
Diagnosis: A mistake can be made with mening- 
itis chronic, but by that paralysis, amaurosis, epi- 
lepsia and spasmodic contraction of different mus- 
cles are absent. The headache is a constant sign. 
Therap.: Palliative treatment; see to theinflama- 
tion and congestion of the brain and its membranes; 
Fmplastr. cantharid. on the neck; Oil croton; Un- 
guent. tartar, emetic to rub in the head. lodin; Ol.

with the teeth; dizziness; unbearable headache; pho- 8 
tophobia; strabismus; contracted pupils; vomiting; 
constipation; unintelligible speech; hyperasthesia of 
the skin; convulsions; delirium. 
Therap.: Cool drinks; cool, dark room; head high; 
leeches on the frontalis and temple; ice on the head; 
hot hand and foot-baths; absolute diet; irritating 
clysma. Calomel with jalap., Tartar depurat., Natr.

Examine the uterus and ovaris. 
Catalepsia. Starrsucht. 
Symptoms: Paroxysm; the performance of the 
brain-function and that of the inner and outer senses 
suddenly stops; anaesthesia; sometimes (but seldom) 
there is some consciousness left, and such patients 
feel, see and hear what is said, and what the sur- 
roundings are; the voluntary movement stops and 
the extremities take and keep any position they are 
brought into; pale face; pulse still exists; but slow. 
This continues a minute, or may last for hours and 
days. 
After the paroxysm is over, the patient feels, as if 
awakened from a dream. Attack commences with a 
headache, out of humor, anorexia, urin spastica, pale 
face, restless sleep. 
Diagnosis: No mistake can be made, the peculiar, 
waxen flexibility is a sure sign. 
Therap.: If the paroxysm lasts long, give aq. am- 
mon. to smell, clysma of asae foetid., vinegar and 
salt; opii,; camphor with opium; moschi; baths, foot- 
baths. If there is danger of congestion, vene-sec- 
tion or cupping to prevent apoplexia. Sinapism; 
vomiting; electricity. Magnet-electricity is often 
good, one plate on the back of the neck and the other 
on the forehead. If the paroxysm lasts for days, it 
is best to feed the patient with the oseophagus-cathe- 
ter. After the attack is over, strict diet and regu- 
late the causes.

Points: How to find the difference between cata- 
lepsia and death. Make a ligature on the finger or 
toe, and if the point becomes red, or, after applica- 
tion of sealing wax the skin is red, or hypodermic in- 
jection of aq. ammon. red colored, or by tight ban- 
daging of the arm, the veins swell, there is hope for 
life. Another way is: to keep on electric irritation for 1/4-6 hours after death (but not as long, if chron- 
ic sickness was prevailing.) No rising of tempera- 
ture in the anus is another sure sign of death. 
2^. Hypochondria. 
Symptoms: Affected nerves; deluded mind; sickly 
appearance; anxiety; false ideas; sparks before the 
eyes; buzzing noises in the ears; the patient has no 
sense of taste, everything seems bitter, sour or too 
s'alty; chronic constipation; indigestion; palpitation 
of the heart; no, or too much desire for intercourse. 
Therap.: Regulate the bowels; laxative; gymnas- 
tics; riding; walking; amusement; tranquillity of the 
mind. Examine the stomach and liver. Avoid all 
alcoholic drinks and tea.

8. Dysphagia. Sphlundverengerung 
- Symptoms: The seat of the stenosis is either above 
or further below. In the beginning vehement, spas- 
modic contraction by trying to swallow, the food 
will be forced back again. The spasm makes a long 
pause until a new attack returns, at last they become 
permanent and the patient wastes away. If the seat 
is further below, there is pain in the stomach and it 
is bloated. Examination with a rubber sounding- 38 
lead, the wasting and the above symptoms secure the 
diagnosis. 
Therap,: Warm compresses of cicutae and hyo- 
scyam, on the painful place, Diaphoretica; bella- 
donna with conii internally. Feed the patient bouil- 
lon with the stomach-tube and by rectum. Acid hy- 
drocyan. is good. When a stricture can be felt, dila- 
tion with the pharynx-sound is recommendable. 
9. Oesophagitis. Schlund-Entzuendnng. 
Symptoms; Pain on one place of the; oesaphagus 
and is increased by swallowing; sometimes difficult 
respiration. When this is caused by a strange body 
in the oesphagus, inflamation of the vag'us is often 
combined and appearances like attacks of hydropho- 
bia and spasms originate. 
Diagnosis: Hydrophobia traumatica distinguishes 
itself through the aetiologic moment, the wound and 
the continuance of the spasmodic appearances. 
Therap.: Slimy drinks; amygdal-emulsion; vesi- 
cants along the course of the oesaphagus; antiphlo- 
gistic. 
Diseases of the Pleura. 
i. Pleuritis. Brustfellentzuendung.

by deep inspiration, in one or both ^ides of the chest; 
bloody striped sputa; dry cough; dyspnoea; super- 
ficial, quick breathing; unmovableness of the thorax 
over the exsudat; rubbing noises. If the seat of the 
sickness is back of the mediastinum, there is stitch- 
ing pain toward the scapula present which increases 
by movement of the spine, and there is more or less 
fever (by the chronic form not and the pain is not so 
intensive). Weak bronchial-respiration; absence of 
the pectoral-fremitus; low or empty percussion-tone 
over the exsudat; mostly tympanitic tone and a 
stronger vibration of the voice; the heart, liver and 
spleen are displaced; pressure with the hand increas- 
es the pain. 
Therap.: Sinapism; vesicants. 
By Dyspnoea: Cupping; light diet; cold compresses.

When such a hemorrhaga ends fatal, it is certain 
that an aneurysma perforated, 
g. Embolia of the Lungs. 
Symptoms: Quick respiration; cold sweat; cold ex- 
tremities; cyanosis; tracheal-rattling; strong, loud 
rattling over the lungs. 
Embolia is the entrance of a strange body in a cil- 
liar-district through the strength of the circulation, 
and obliteratis capilars, and too large to pass, re- 
tards the circulation further and further. Embolia 
generally originates from trombosis and local coagu- 
lation of the blood, by dilation of the veins, slow 
circulation, phlebitis traumatica, general weakness, 
sanies, etc. Embolia in an artery is less the conse- 
quence of trombosis than in the vein system, while 
on the other hand, compression or dilation of an ar- 
tery atheroma, costructions, etc., can cause dimin- 
ished activity or vitality. Death often follows from 
exhaustion, pyaemia, mummification, gangraena 
senilis. By old people, the great pain in the soles of 
the feet, (by mistake taken for arthritis) comes from 
atheroma, ossification of the inner membrane of the 
arteries and very brittle. 
Therap.: For atheroma is still dark. Vin. sem- 
colchic. 20 drops4 times daily is recommended. Natr. 
sulph., Karlsbadersalt, mineral water and and alka- 
li. Eight diet. Avoid alcoholic drinks, excitement 
of the circulation, excess in venery and constipation. 
Ol. camphorat. hypodermic every 5 minutes for one 
hour or longer. (Camph. gr. 15, 01 olivar or paraffin 
dr. 2ss.) Dose, one syringe full.

like wings (angel wings); thorax long and flat; sink- 
ing in of the orbita and temporal-region; thin hair; 
long neck; pale face; long, white teeth; curved finger 
nails; weakness; shortness of breath; hoarseness;

upper part of the breäst under the clavicula; some- 
times numbness and heaviness in the upper arm; 
cough morning and evening, in the evening dry and 
spasmodic, in the morning with a lumpy matter 
mixed with green and gray; increased frequence of 
respiration; weaker inspiration and stronger expira- 53 
tion; spitting of blood; swelling of the lymph-glands; 
night-sweats; evenings exacerbation of the fever--- 
(febris-hectica)-; physical change in the points of 
the lungs; short, empty percussion-tone; by cavities 
metalic tone, sometimes the noise like that of a 
cracked pot is also present-due to the presence of a 
large cavity near the surface, with yielding, elastic 
walls communicating freely with a large bronchial 
tube. Fine, moist rales; tuberkel of the intestines, 
with diarrhoea; scaling off of the epidermis; absence 
of the menses; palpitation of the heart; soreness in 
the throat; difficult to swallow; decubitus; oedem of 
one or the other leg. 
Therapx Examination of the liver, spleen and 
stomache, and bring these organs in good condition 
first. Exercises in deep breathing; strengthening 
diet (wine, beer, iron) so that the menses return and 
the patient gains in weight; fresh air; wash the chest 
and back with cold water, morning and evening, and 
after rubbing dry, rub in with bacon every time.

Diseases of the Heart. Herzkrankheiten. 
i. Dilatation of the Heart. Erweiterung des 
Herzens. 
i. Symptoms: Weakness in the extremities; thin, 
small pulse; palpitation of the heart; clear, but weak 
heart-tones; expanded, very weak pulse of the heart- 
point; pale skin; dyspnoea. 
2. Dilatation of the Right Ventricle: Enlarged 
dullness of the heart reaching over the sternal mar- 
gin; appearances of stagnation of the lüngs, brain 
and abdomen (undulation of the jugular veins, cya- 
nosis, hydrops). 
y. Dilatation of the Left Ventricle: Mostly com- 
bined with failures of the valves; bronchial catarrh; 
pain in the breast; asthmatic attacks; cough; haemo- 
ptoea; oedem of the lungs. 
Therap.: Cold water treatment. Symptomatic. 
2. Hypertrophy of the Heart. Hypertrophie des 
Herzens. 
i. Excentric hypertrophy of the Left Ventricle. 
Symptoms: Palpitation of the heart; pressure and 
pain in the heart region; headache; dizziness; ting- 
ling in the ears; red face; drawing pain in the left 
shoulder and numbness in the left arm; dyspnoea; 
bleeding of the nose; haemorrhagia of the brain; 
strong, full pulse; distinct carotid pulsation;* loud, 
systolic tone in the large arteries; prolongation of 
the heart and therefore enlarged dullness out over 
the papillar-line; reinforcement of the heart-tones in 
the left ventricle and the aorta. 
2. Excentric Hypertrophy of the Right Ventricle. 
Symptoms: Pain in the heart region; oppression 
in the breast; dyspnoea; catarrh of the lungs; visible 
heart-pulse in the pit of the stomache; broad expan- 
sion of the heart dullness over the sternal-margin; 
clear, but reinforced heart -tones in the right ven- 
tricle and the pulmonalis. 56 
Diagnosis: If by single hypertrophy only the right 
heart is affected, there is vehement beating under the 
sternum against the processus ensiformis. Pulsation 
of the jugularis externa; oppression in the breast; the 
pulse not very vehement. 
If the left heart is affected, the pulse is vehement, 
full and hard. If both sides of the heart are affected 
the symptoms are combined, and with them fainting, 
numbness in the left arm etc. 
By hypertrophia with dilatation of the cavities we can 
feel the heart beat in its whole circumference. Per- 
cussion brings the heart-tone on places where it ought 
not to be. The auscultation gives the heart-pulse 
more extended than it should. Oppression of the 
breast and the left half is prominent. Asthmatic ap- 
pearances; dry cough, sometimes with blood; also the 
general appearances of the heart diseases. 
When there is exsudat in the pericardium, the pul- 
sation of the heart is not as vehement as before. 
Therap.: Absolute rest; avoid bodily and physical 
irritations; avoid coitus. Lemonade, milk, whey and 
sug'ar-water to drink. Ice compresses on the heart 
region; evacuation of the bowels.

y. Atheroma. Fettgeschwuelste. 
Symptoms: Atheroma and meliceris are a certain 
form of the fatty tumor (tumor adiposus). The fatty 
tumors are the tumors adiposus, lipom, sarcoma, 
lupia lipomatodes and steatoma. Atheroma can be- 
gin with the fatty tumor, also alone and is then not 
larger than a goose-egg. To the meliceris belong 
small cysten (like peas). The atheromatous altera- 
tions are found very frequently in the aorta (mostly 
in the ascending branches and arcus), then in the 
thoracica and abdominalis, further in the lienalis, 
cruralis, iliaca, tibialis, carotis (namely cerebralis), 
more seldom in the subclavia and branches, in the 
abdominalis and hardly ever in arteries of the lungs. 
Begins with thickening of the subserosa of the ar- 
tery-walls, accumulated layers of compact consist- 
ence of the inner wall, which with time is the seat of 
a metamorphosis and changes to a yellow, pappy, 
rich in fatty substance. They draw the inner and 
middle membranes of the arteries into the metamor- 
phosis, whereby the middle membrane becomes de- 
cayed and brittle. With the advance of this sickness 
the places soften, blood lodges in and gives (through 
its raw surface) causes for further disturbance fyom 67 
the blood. The tissues become thick and show the 
condition of chronic sclerosa. From the reducement 
of the elasticity of the artery-membranes, the pulse 
gets hard (even in the distant arteries, the large as 
well as the small ones). The same become hard and 
crumble, are also very troublesome for the physician 
by operation. The winding, hard pulse can be felt 
the best on the temporal artery, yet the radial pulse 
can show the phenomonen by atheroma of the arter- 
ies. According to Bamberger the first aorta-tone is 
weak or hardly perceptible 
Therap.: Avoid all alcoholic drinks. ISight, 
strengthening diet; baths; friction of the skin; warm

time also but not as vehement. The evacuation often 
stops for 2-3 days, but a noise can be heard by press- 
ure. The evacuation if caught in a glass, shows a 
flocky (with now and then mixed with bloody stripes) 
or dark-red colored matter, which after pouring off 
the fsecal-mass leaves a very bad smell. Febris hec- 
tica; wasting; colliquative sweat. It originates from

light, strengthening food; mutton and mutton-soup 
with rice and cinnamon; small glass of red-wine

2. Scorbutus. Scharbock. 
Symptoms'. The tooth-flesh swells, turns blue, 
spongy and bleeds by the least touch; the skin shows 151 
ecchymosis on the extremities; the spots resemble 
and have the condition as by morbus maculosis Werl- 
hofii; pale face; livid cheeks; blue circles around the 
eyes; the lead-color appears with the vehemence of 
the sickness; weakness; constipation; melancholy; in- 
flamation of the joints and the ecchymosis turns to 
ulcers with bloody matter; hemorrhage of the nose, 
mouth, intestines and urethra; enlargement of the 
liver and spleen; pleuritis; pericarditis; death follows 
while in a swoon. The cause of scorbut we find is a 
lack of potassa in the nourishment.

6. Diabetes Mellitus. Zuckerruhr. 
Symptoms'. Earge quantities of light yellow urin

a day and urin is spec, heavy and smells loathsome; 
often albuminuria; enormous hunger and thirst; dry 
skin; wasting; constipation; phimosis; looseness of

Complications'. Often other ailments with diabetes, 
as formation of furuncles and carbuncles; anthrax; 
gangraena, amblyopia and cataracta; diplopia and 
amaurosis; anaemia; impotence. 
Diagnosis and Prognosis: Increased hunger and 
thirst. Large quantities of urin secretion are a hint 
to examine the urin. 
To discover sugar in the urin is very easy. Every 
drop of sugar-water leaves a white spot on dark cloth 
after it is dry and rubbing it. Take a tablespoon of 
urin, hold it over a candle light and reduce it to one- 
fifth or one-sixth of the quantity. After it is cold, 
put it on dark cloth and the presence of sugar as- 
sures the above diagnosis. 
The prognosis differs according to the aetiologia 
and the complications. By weak and wasted patients, 
tuberculosis of the lungs, pneumonia, impotence the 
prognosis is very bad. 
Therap.: If diseases of the liver, disturbances of 
the respiration-organs, laesio of the brain are the 
caufes of the melituria, then treatment for them first.

Sicknesses of Children. Krankheiten der Kinde. 
1. Class. Sicknesses of Children from Birth to the Ap- 
pearance of the Milk Teeth- 
I. Asphyxia Neonatotrm. Scheintod der Neuge- 
borenen. 
Not seldom are children born with little or no signs 183 
of life, but it lacks the sign of corruption. We call 
this asphyxia. 
Causes: Obliteration of the circulation in the neck 
from the umbillica cord. Too sudden separation from 
the mother. Too long standing of the head in the 
pelvis. Pulling of the spine by traction on the feet. 
Accumulation of slime in the throat and mouth. 
There are three forms of asphyxia. 
r. Weakness of life (asphyia anaemica}. Here are 
no signs of life; the whole body is pale and withered; 
head, lower jaw and extremities hang down flaccid 
and are cold. The rectum is open, therefore depar- 
ture of the meconium- Heart and pulse-beats lack 
entirely. Mostly children from weakly, poorly 
nourished parents. 
2. Over-filling of blood, in the heart and brain, {as- 
phyxia apoplectica lirica.) Red, bloated face with 
blue rings around the mouth and nose; the body warm 
and reddened. Generally by large and fleshy child- 
ren. 
3. Suffocation. (asphyxia suffocatoria.) Mechanic 
hinderance of the respiration (from slime). The 
child has the appearance of a person that is nearly 
suffocated. Blue-red, bloated face and the eyes 
prominent; blue lips; bloody slime on the mouth and 
nose. It wants to cry but cannot; we can hear the 
hoarseness and rattling in the throat. Generally 
strong children. 
Therap.: The chief remedy by asphyxia are the 
luke-warm baths. If the child is born asphyxtic, do 
not separate it from the mother right away, but clean 
the mouth with the small finger and rub the child (es- 
pecially the breast) with warm flannel (the hands 
and feet with a brush); blow air in the lungs; careful 
pressing and moving of the chest; sprinkle cold wat- 
er, wine or aether on the breast and heart region. 
If this procedure is without success, separate the 
child from the mother and place it in a lukewarm 
bath and continue the above to bring it to life. 
By asphyxia apoplectica it is better to open the 
umbilica-cord and let a teaspoon to a tablespoon of 
blood flow out before the same is tied. 
Asphyxia anaemia brings no laurels to the physi- 
cian, but we must do what we can. Warm milk or 
water clysma; aether sulph. (a few drops with water) 
in the mouth or hypodermic; dilated Aq. ammon. un- 
der the nose to smell. 
Asphyxia suffocatoria: Quickly clean the slime 
from mouth, nose and throat; tickle the throat with a 
feather or finger to cause vomiting, that removes it 184 
the quickest. Should that not be enough, give 2-3 
drops vin. antimon. All these procedures and rem 
edies must be given with care. 
2. Naevus Verrucosus. Knotenmaal. 
A better description of the mole is not necessary. 
Some have the form of strawberries, mulberries or 
plain long or round (form) etc; 
Therap.: Application of sulphur, calcar.; thuja; 
sepia; antimon, crudum. is very good; on the promi- 
nent moles a^iply acid, nitr., the child outgrows the 
scar. The best is: if the child is in good, heathy 
condition, vaccinate it at the age of 4 months. 
y. Cyanosis. Blausucht. 
Symptoms: Blue color of the face, genitals, finger- 
points and nails; the livor shows the plainest on the 
lips, in the mouth, on the eyelids, nose, hands and 
feet; it increases by crying vehemently, nursing or 
by exertion of muscles and lungs; by the increase of 
the symptoms the extremities get cold and the heart 
beats irregular; sometimes swooning and often at- 
tacks of suffocation. 
The cause is mostly the not closing of the foramen 
ovale and the ductus arteriosus botalli, whereby gen- 
erally (at the same time) the lung-arteries are too 
narrow or contracted. 
Therap.'. The child should lie constantly on the 
right side with the head and chest high. Warm baths 
and calomel. 
4. Spina Bifida. Hydrorrhagis. Angeborene Rueck- 
grats-spaltung. 
Symptoms: A prominent tumor from a nut to a 
goose egg in size and mostly with a broad base. The 
seat is mostly in the lumbar- or sacral region (sel- 
dom on the neck). The tumor is filled with a clear 
light or reddish fluid, 
Other symptoms are-. On each side of the tumor 2 
hard edges can be felt through the prominence of the 
vertebrae; the tumor becomes enlarged by the in- 
spiration and by crying" often there is paralysis of 
the lower extremities, bladder and rectum, 
Therap.'. Function with a cataract needle (in 3 
days repeated) and a rubber bandage and cotton ap- 
plied is recommended. 
Make the incision of strips of the sack under anti- 
septic Kautelen. Total extirpation is only for quick 
growing, malignant, cystr-sarcomatous meningocele. 
The best method is the elastic ligiture of a 1. MM. 185 
thick rubber-string applied on the basis; in 2 wind- 
ings the tumor gets small and gangraenous. In 8 
days apply another and in 3 days it will fall off. (All- 
gemeine Medicalische Central Zeitung, 1879, No. 15.) 
Take 2 small pieces of wood (longer than the tumor) 
covered with Emplastr. diachylon, place on both 
sides of the tumor and tie tightly together (to press 
the same (tumor) be careful that nothing of the me- 
dulla is between ) and the parts between the strips will 
falloff. By, adhesion and inflamation a scar will be 
all that is left. 
5. Umbilica Hernia. Nabelbruch. 
Around the nabel the formation of a tumor from 
the size of a half to a dollar or larger. 
Therap.: Put on a piece of cork wrapped in cot- 
ton and fasten with rubber plaster from 6-8 inches in 
length.

7. Induratio Mammarum. Anschwellung und Ver- 
haertung der Brueste. 
I have often seen this (not alone by children of the 
female sex, but by male also.) It does not come from 
accumulation of milk, it is only obliteration of the 
moisture in the small nipple, which is really lymph- 
atic. 
Therap.: Application of infus. flor, arnica with 
chamomill compresses and apply ol. olivar. This is 
the best remedy. 
8. Caput Succedaneum. Kopfgeshwulst. 
This is caused from the pressure of the pelvis or 
forceps. 
Therap.-. Compresses of infus. arneca and cham- 
omill. 
9. Icterus Neonatorum. Gelbsucht der Neugeborenen. 
Symptoms-. This sickness generally appears about 186 
the third day after birth; the skin of the face turns 
yellow, also the eyes have a yellowish resemblance; 
this gradually goes over the whole body and becomes 
darker; it is plainly a disturbance of the secretion, of 
polycholia; the child rests and sleeps well; the pas- 
sage is yellow. Prognosis is generally good. 
Therap.'. Keep the child warm; when constipated 
give one teaspoon of castor-oil-.

io. Induratio Telae Cellulosae. Sclerosis Zellge- 
webs Verhaertung. 
This sickness is mostly in the foundling-houses, 
especially in England and France. 
Symptoms: This sickness befalls the child mostly 
in the first 8-12-24 hours, sometimes from the second 
to the seventh day after birth (seldom later). The 
infiltration begins on the lower extremities, especial- 
ly on the calves; they become livid or purple colored, 
or yellow like wax and cold; hard and stiff (like wood) 
and the finger pressure leaves no impression. The 
swelling and hardness spreads to the feet, upward to 
the thighs and further upward toward the neck and 
upper extremities. The breast and back are not be- 
fallen. The skin is as dry as leather (like a mummy) 
and not movable. Peculiar disfigurement of the face 
from the bloating of the lips and the round formation 
of the mouth which is pressed forward. The child 
lies still and stiff like frozen, without any movement, 
as if it were in a stupor. The body is cold as marble, 
even the mouth. Heat helps only as long as the 
same is used. The extreme weakness shows in the 
respiration and circulation. In the beginning the 
pulse is small, slow 60-72 and at last so weak that it 
cannot be felt. 
Prognosis is genearlly fatal and lasts about 7 days. 
Therap.: Calomel in one-half grain doses every 2 
hours. Friction of mercur ointment (Steinberger, 
Zimmerman, Ed- Graefe, Drescher, Hahnemann, 187 
Weinhold, Brockmueller). Warm aromatic baths. 
Eiq.cornu cervi and Liq. anodynus mineralis (Hoff-

men; constipation or green watery passage; often ic- 
terus; aphthae in the mouth; convulsions. The ex- 
anthem begins mostly from the umbilica region 
(sometimes from the sexual parts or extremities). It 
can be phlyctaenous, erythematous, oedematous or 
phlegmatoedes. 
Causes: Irregular and rough treatment of the um- 
bilica-cord; sometimes the misuse of spiritual drinks 
by the mother; from a cold or poor diet; uncleanli- 
ness, etc.

12. Syphilis Neonatorum. Lustseuche der Neugebor- 
enen. 
Symptoms'. The appearances of syphilis generally 
come a few days after birth (if the infection comes 
during the same), but if they are there already, it is 
hereditary. Fissures on the lips which bleed easily; 
the commissura of the lips penetrates deep in the 
cutis and is covered with rhagadia; diptheritic exsu- 
dat on both sides of the tongue; the skin of the gen- 
itals, extremities and the neck are covered with 
smooth, dark-red knots or small lumps. Eater comes 
coryza; condyloma on the anus; blisters on the palm 
of the hand and the bottom of the feet; inflamaticm 
of the eyes and bulbus. 
The pale redness of the sclerotica is characteristic 
and shows the plainest on the limbus of the cornea. 
Pupils are contracted and cornea cloudy. Eater it 
comes to ulcers on the head, lingers and toes; the 
child wastes away; the face looks old; hoarseness; 
difficult to swallow and breathe. 
Thin, mattery secretion runs out of the eyes, nose 
and ears; tumors, rhagadia, etc., appear on the whole 
body. By the length of time swelling of the bones. 
There are not always as many symptoms, nature 
covers some of them. 
Therap.'. Cleanliness before all is a necessity; a 
change of the milk; bathing in oak-bark water; fresh 
air.

13. Ophthalmia et Blepharitis Scrophulosa. 
Scrophuloese Augen-und Augenlieder Entzuendung. 
Symptoms-. This is not alone by infants. Photo- 
phobia; eyes running with tears; burning pain and 
redness of the edge of the lids; the child lies on the 
face on account of photophobia; the conjunctiva is 
red; varicous fascicle running to the cornea; the 
sclera is light pink or pale red. When the cornea be- 
comes affected, formation of small blisters which 
often run in ulcers. Then blindness follows if the 
right treatment is not at hand. 
Therap.: Dark room and the utmost cleanliness. 
The treatment must be antiphlogistic and antiscroph- 
ulous (the former must be the first); laxative; appli- 
cation of plumb, acet, solut. and hyoscyam. See

Symptoms: There can be colic pain; sour smell out 
of the mouth; vomiting and cheesy or green, watery 
passage. Dyspepsia or indigestion is combined with 
other sicknesses, (flatulence, acor ventriculi, etc.) 
By colic pain the abdomen is bloated more or less; 
the infant draws the knees up to the abdomen and 
cries. 
Therap.: Give the child cornstarch but no milk; 
arrow root with sugar when the curdled milk is in 
vomiting and passage; chamomill-tea; warm flannel 
on the abdomen.

zy. Diarrhoea. Durchfall. 
Symptoms ; The evacuation of the bowels can be 
thin, half-thin, gray or ash colored; the child can be 
red or pale in the face, and with or without fever. 
What some of the old and new schools teach (that 
diarrhoea with fever comes from teething). I never 
did believe, and cannot. Adults often have high 
fever by diarrhoea. Is teething guilty there? It is 
the result of catarrh or indigestion. 
Therap.: Warm flannel on the abdomen; one-half 
teaspoon of Ol. ricin. The mother must be careful 
with eating and prevent cold.

16. Vomitus. Erbrechen. 
Symptoms: This occurs more by children that are 
raised on the bottle. The milk is coagulated and 
191 192 
smells sour. Sour stomache is caused from unclean- 
ness of the bottle and rubber, or when the milk is too 
old, kept in a warm room from morning until night. 
Constipation is most always combined with it. 
Therap.'. The milk should be fresh from the cow 
at least twice daily; kept cool and sterilized before 
nursing the child. The bottle should be laid in warm 
water and well cleaned after nursing. The child's 
mouth should be washed out before and after nurs- 
ing. When the child nurses on the mother's breast, 
the nipple should be cleaned before and after nurs- 
ing also. The mother must be careful with her 
meals. Bight sinapism on the stomache.

17. Cholera Infantum. Brechdurchfall. 
Symptoms: This appears mostly during the hot 
summer months and is only sporadic. Begins with 
vomiting and colic pain in the abdomen. The vom- 
ited mass is sour; the faecal-mass in the beginning is 
slimy, later watery mixed with bile, and white flocks, 
sometimes a brownish fluid with bad, disagreeable 
smell; sometimes bloody slime from the intestines; 
withered skin; atrophy of the muscles, and the child 
becomes weak and wastes away; low temperature; 
the upper eyelids sink down; increase of thirst; ap- 
pearances of apthae in the mouth; oedematous swell- 
ing of the face and extremities; tympanitis; trouble- 
some respiration; irregular pulse; spasms and death 
follows. 
Therap.: Cleanness; warm baths; warm, dry com- 
presses on the abdomen; slimy drinks (no water); 
rice-water; cornstarch; arrow-root; ice cold milk; 
white of an egg in half pint boiled water, to drink 
cold; ice suppositors in the rectum every 5 minutes 
(for one hour); after a clysma of warm water; keep 
the child's mouth clean; sinapism on the stomache 
region; wash out the stomache; one-half to 1 teaspoon 
port wine by weakness. 1

zp. Spasmi Interni Infantum, Innere Kraempfe. 
Symptoms'. Eight spasms;, twitching of the face- 
muscles; smiling in the sleep (wet nurses call it play- 
ing with the angels); distortion of the eyes; sudden 
crying; restless sleep; the child draws its knees up- 
ward to the abdomen; face changes color; often blue 
rings around the eyes and mouth; periodic strabis- 
mus; quick respiration. When the child is quiet the 
eyes are again normal. The child takes the breast 
quickly, but lets loose again and cries and turns it- 
self around. Cater it comes to eclampsia. 
The cause lies in the intestines, in the stomache 
acid and bloating troubles. 
Therap.: Warm baths; examine the milk; nurse 
the child only every 2 hours; the mother must be 
careful with her meals and prevent colds; regulate 
the bowels.

20. Trismus et Tetanus Neonatorum. Kinnbacken- 
krampf und Starrkrampf der Neugeborenen. 
These generally appear from the first to the ninth 
day. 
Symptoms: Restless sleep; crying; yawning; 
trembling of the lower jaw; sudden starting in the 
sleep and crying; unusual desire to take the breast, 
but let loose again quickly and cry; constipation or 
green, slimy, hard faeces; often icteric color of the 
albuginea; the urin colors the swaddling cloth yel- 
low. A constant symptom is the hardness and ten- 
sion of the abdomen which is very sensitive against 
pressure and feels hot in the right hypocondrium. 
The beginning of trismus is cognoscible by the ve- 
hement spasms of the extremities and face muscles; 
difficult to swallow; short and troublesome respira- 
tion; anxiety; the lower jaw closes tightly on the up- 
per or stays a little apart; difficult breathing; rigid 
eyes; dilated pupils; opisthotonus; lameness and 
death follows. 
Therap.: Antisepsis of the umbilica wound; be 
very careful with handling pins; the best remedy is

21. Contractura Spasmodica Infantum. Krampfhafte 
Verkreummung der Hand und Fussgelenke. 
Symptoms'. This spasmodic contraction consists of 
a tonic inward bending of the joints of the hands 
which may rise to a right or pointed angle between 
hand and forearm, then next in a tension of the fin- 
gers which are conically layed together or spread 
with thumb drawn in tightly. Then a tension of the 
feet with strong downward bending and the toes 
drawn inward, and (according to Rilliet and Barthez) 
sometimes (but seldom) comes to stiffness of the arms 
and thighs. The muscles of the befallen parts are 
drawn and seem to be painful as the children cry ve- 
hemently. Prognosis is good. 
Therap.: Eaxative, calomel; vesicants on the 
neck; warm baths of chamomill and friciion with 
laudanum and aether. £inc oxydat. with hyoscyam. 
or valer with camph., moschi; clysma of asae foetid. 
22. Gastromalacia. Magenerweichung. 
Symptoms: This sickness appears in different 
forms, sometimes like cholera or gastritis, as febris 
hydrocephalica or as febris nervosa lenta. The chil- 
dren are continually restless and cry often; great 
thirst; quick pulse; bloated abdomen; the stomache 
region feels hot and is painful by pressure. The 
child often draws the feet up to the body. Vomit- 
ing of sour; green, slimy fluid; frequent watery, 
green, sour-smelling passages; cool respiration and 
skin; dry cough. 
Therap.'. Nurse the child regularly every 2' hours, 
and not (as we see so often) that the mother nurses 
the infant all day long. Cleanness is one of the 
main points. Wash the mouth out and if nursed by 
the bottle, be very careful to wash it out clean after 
each nursing. Use the milk from different cows. It 
is foolish to use the milk from one cow only, that 
one can be sick while the rest not, so it is better to 
mix the milk. See that the bowels are regular. 197

Symptoms-. Anuria is a symptomatical ailment. 
The child acts disagreeable; pale face; anorexia; hot 
head; headache; scanty cloudy urin. It can be good 
for 24 hours, then oedern follow. The urin made is 
about 1 ccm. or a few tablespoons and other days a 
larger quantity (from oz. 1-16 in 24 hours). There is 
no pain but pressure to make urin. Specific weight 
is 1006-1024 (in general 1010-1015). The contents of 
albumen is changeable, so also the color of the urin. 
Therap.-. Warm baths; liq. kal. acet,; rest in bed

same by children. Sleeplessness; crying; by press- 
ure of the bladder the child cries more. Fever; con- 
vulsions; spasms; often concrementum or the hot 
urin causes the crying. 
Therap.-. Warm baths; keep the feet warm; warm, 
dry compresses over the bladder; laxative; clysma of 
warm water.

Symptoms : The tooth-flesh and mouth are hot,

teething-? Superstition and ignorance reaching each 
other the hand as Henoch says. Is it not from indi- 
gestion or cold that the child has the fever and diar- 
rhoea? When the toothflesh is hard and the teeth do 
not come, cut it crosswise, that is all. 
Therap.: Prevent the child from biting on hard 
material (as rubber or a spoon); keep the child warm; 
cold cloths on the head.

Symptoms'. In the beginning a red, itching spot

are a great many small, dark knots or lumps that 
form into small blisters and cause vehement itching. 
The blisters burst and salty, serous, corrosive mix- 
ture flows out, causing children to scratch. This 
moisture inflames new places and spreads further 
and further. 
Therap.-. Good, strengthening diet for mother and 
child; application of iodoform and collod. and cover 
with cotton; cleanness.

sudat; anorexia; bad smelling breath; oedem of the 
lips and cheeks; swelling of the submaxilar and par- 
otis glands; constipation.

2. Tussis Convulsivia. Pertussis. Keuch-husten. 
This sickness comes only once to a human in a life- 
time, and mostly by young children. 
Symptoms: Chills; high fever; the appearances 
are those of a common catarrh; tickling in the throat 
and this irritation is the cause of the long uninter- 
rupted cough; some hoarseness; often sneezing; diffi- 
cult breathing like by angina; reddish then bluish 
color in the face during coughing; red, swollen eye- 
lids; tearing of the eyes; anorexia; disgusted with 
play; willfulness; restless sleep; in the evening exac- 
erbation of the fever; vomiting. 
Therap.-. By this sickness we can no* earn much 
honor, for when we do something it takes 6 weeks, 
and if not, it takes the same time, it is only to ease 
the cough attacks. Some use this and that specific, 
is nothing after all. Keep moist air in the room; 
prevent visits to other families during that time; pre- 
vent the children eating fruit, candy and nuts, it irri- 
tates and makes them cough more.

hot head; scanty urin; face very pale and cold by 
older children, by infants livid. Bronchial sickness, 
trouble with the digestion or pseudocroup (if the 
child has had one of them before) can be the cause. 
Therap.: Examination of the throat, chest and 
nose must be made; clysma of asae foetid; warm 
hand and foot-baths. If the stomache and abdomen 
are bloated: sem. carvi-tea and magn. carbon. If 
bronchitis is the cause: (after the attacks) vomiting 
and expectorants.

ic dyscrasy, slowly, then the symptoms of disturbed 
digestion, the incorrect condition of the se-and excre- 
tion and general indisposition. Visible change in 
the bones, cartilago and muscles appear (some get 
thin, soft, the skin loose). Pale color of the excre- 
ment; sour stomache; colic; irregular passage; weak- 
ness; the face and body are cachectic; the legs be- 
come curved and the knees thick in the joints; the 
spinal-vertebrae forms itself to cyphosis.

9. Cyphosis. Pott's sickness. Wirbelentzuendung und 
Verkruemmung des Koerpers. 
This sickness stands in relation with rhachitis. 
The cyphosis is mostly on the spine in the should- 
er region and forms a hump; the S form, sideward 
crippling (Scoliosis); the bending inward (Eordosis), 
over the spine (not in a straight line) forming a 
curved line (Contorsio spinae). There are a great 
many bendings of the spine. 
Cyphosis develops itself from osteomalicia and 
rhachitis, scoliosis from weakness of the muscles. 
Therap.'. Deformities of the spine and extremities 
can be controlled with plaster-paris bandage as long 
as the child is young, later use a good fitting ma- 
chine. 
Deformation of the Feet. Clubfoot. Klumpfuss. 
Pes varus or the foot turned inward, Talipes val- 
gus or the foot turned outward and the Pes equinus 
(horse-foot) belong to the inborn deformities of the 
joints which occur the oftenest. 206 
The club.foot originates when one or more bones 
have a deformity, the muscle of one side of the leg is 
drawn too tight and on the other side too much re- 
laxed, or the muscle cords have a false insertion. 
By the club-foot the legs generally show wasting 
(thin). 
By varus the position of the astragalus and calca- 
neus as also the condition of the sole is the same as 
by pes equinus, only the hind extremities of the cal- 
caneus reaches (according to the different grades of 
this deformity) somewhat inward. The os navicul- 
are turns inward and upward, often so much that it 
touches the inner ankle. The sole becomes the in- 
and upward direction, the outer edge of the foot 
downward. 
By valgus the astragalus turns so the inner side 
(which articulates with the malleus internus) de- 
scends out- and downward. The inner edge of the 
foot and the malleus internus touch the bottom, the 
outer edge of the foot is turned out-and upward. The 
calcaneus touches the malleus externus with the out- 
er side. All joint combinations are relaxed. 
By pes equinus the calcanus is sometimes placed so 
far back- and up-ward that it touches the tibia with 
the upper side. The astragalus turns out of its joint 
combinations with the tibia and fibula so far fore- 
and downward that its upper articulating side lays 
almost entirely on the back of the foot. The os nav- 
iculare leaves the head of the astragalus, in which it 
descends downward. 
Therapy The joints should be put in a bandage of 
plaster-paris a few days after birth, or m rubber- 
plaster with some stiffning (covered with cotton to 
prevent irritation) and continue until the joints keep 
themselves satisfactory. It is wrong to wait until 
the child is older and then have an operation per- 
formed.

Symptoms: Appearances of a whitish or reddish 
(often blackish in the beginning) knot or blister on 
any place in the mouth (seldom outside on the cheeks.) 
The bottom and around the same is hard and pain- 
less (not red); pale, livid, shiny skin; generally oed- 
ematous swelling of the lips, cheeks and eye-lids, 
then soon of the ears and parotic-glands also. The 
blister bursts and the blackish fluid changes into a 
livid ulcer, mortification spreads rapidly forward in 
circumference; it changes to a gray, ash-colored or a 
black scab, bores'through the cheeks and destroys 
them, or on the corners of the mouth and spreads 
further, destroying the teeth, jaws, etc. Cadaver- 
ous, stinking smell from the ulcer and salivation; 
small pulse; cold and pale skin; thirst; wasting; de- 
lirium; coma. 
Therap.'. Light, strengthning diet; wine, chinin 
and and iron; fresh air; cleanse the mouth with Pot.

graenous parts with scalpel and scissors; cauterisa- 
tion with ferrum candens or zinc, chloric, and daily 
application of Acid, muriat.- or nitric.

play and hangs its head; falls when it walks and by 
quick movement becomes dizzy; complains of head- 
ache; hot head; the face is red and then gets pale 
again. The child is sleepy but without sleep, or 
sleeps more Tian usual; groaning and screaming out 
in its sleep; frightened at the least noise; red inject- 
ed eyes; dry. hot skin; anorexia; vomiting; scanty 
urin; constipation; high fever. This state can last 
for days or weeks. 
2. State. All the symptoms increase and the heat 
on the head rises. The head hangs down; raising 
the head increases the vomiting; the child sleeps con- 
stantly, but restless and often with convulsions; con- 
tracted pupils; eyes are turned upward; strabismus; 
face is pale and fallen in; chewing; gnashing with 
the teeth; automatic feeling with the hands to the 
head and genitals; dry nose and lips; the respiration 
is quick, and then again slow; slow pulse (50-60); con- 
stipation; small, fine, dry eruption on the skin, most 
on the external side of the upper-arm and cheeks 
(Formey's exanthem, 
y. State. Period of the pressure. Increased stu- 
por; the child buries its head deep in the pillow; legs 209 
held asunder; boring in the nose and ears with the 
finger; dilated, dull pupils; slow, unequal pulse; tear-

bowels and bladder move involuntary; respiration 
combined with sighs; wasting; high fever; small 
pulse. By these appearances the patient dies (some- 
times with and sometimes without convulsions, or in 
a comatous condition). The torpid fever takes only 
1-3 days. 
P. S. Vomiting is one of the principal and con- 
stant symptoms of the irritation of the brain. 
Therap.-. Shear the hair off short; rub in with un- 
guent. tartar, emetic. Ice-cloth around the head; 
emplastr. cantharid. (2 inches long and 1 wide) on

Symptoms: These symptoms are different, and we 
know (by the anamnesis) that by hydrocephalus 
acute there are irritating and by hydrocephaloid 
weakened influences. By the former the child has a 
florid, by the latter a weak appearance. By the first 
is constipation, by this diarrhoea. Vomiting is al- 
ways present. 211

y. Peripneumonia. Lungenentzuendung. 
This sickness does not begin suddenly, but devel- 
ops itself from other catarrhalic states. 
Symptoms'. Chills; high fever; thirst; raw cough; 
the least pressure on the ribs urges to cough; respir- 
ation is unequal, rattling and frequent (60-90 to the 
minute); hard pulse; scanty urin; dry, burning skin, 
especially on the head and hands; the fingers in the 
mouth; often very pale in the face (older children be- 
come very pale and cold by the increase of the sick- 
ness, infants livid, lead or icteric coler of the skin); 
the cough is less. If this sickness ends fatal the 
tongue is brownish coated and the pulse irregular. 
The remarkable remission in the course of this sick- 
ness is very fallacious. The chief symptom (when 
called to the sickbed of an infant with pneumonia, 
is the vibration of the nose wings. 
Therap.: Eight (not irritating) diet; dip a towel in 
cold water, wring it out dry and apply it over the 
chest. This should be repeated every 20 minutes for 
1-2 hours (it reduces heat and inflamation.) 
Eater apply hot, dry compresses; sinapism on the 
chest; cold water compresses on the head.

4- Carditis et Pericarditis. Entzuendung des Her- 
zens und Herzbeutels. 
Symptoms: Begins mostly with lively appearan- 
ces of fever, a continual chill followed by uninter- 
rupted heat; restlessness; spread palpitation of the 
heart; frequent (in the beginning full, later small 
and fluttering) pulse; feeling of pressure and burning 
(spread more toward the left) under the sternum; 
sometimes vomiting; paroxysmal cough; disharmony 
between the heart-beating and pulse (as by all heart 
diseases). Anxiety is marked on the face by carditis. 
The left arm goes to sleep; often pain in single ex- 
tremities (left arm, left leg); delirium and anxiety in- 
creases toward evening. If there is no (or not much) 
serous exsudat present as a result of pericarditis, the 
pulse (according to Skota and Kolletschka) is slower. 
A larger quantity of serous exsudat makes the pulse 
unequal, set out and small. 
Anxiety, dyspnoea; change of position brings on 
suffocation. If the child is old enough to explain, it 
complains of lancing pain in the heart-region toward 
the left shoulder and arm. The praecordial-region is 
often swollen; cold extremities; pale, disfigured (some- 
times red and bloated) face; livid color of the lips, 
nose and cheeks; oppressed respiration; dilated nose- 
wings; dry lips and tongue; thirst; scanty, dark urin; 
later oedem of the feet; constipation. 
Complications-. Pleuritis, pneumonia, gastric and 
nervous affections. 
Endocarditis. 
Symptoms: Subjective and fever symptoms can 
hardly be distinguished from pericarditis. By sim- 
ple endocarditis there is mostly no pain, but pressure 
in the praecorrial-region. Actual pain is a complica- 
tion with pericarditis or pleuritis. Anxiety; frequent 
pulsation of the heart (rises to 120-16Ö to the minute) 
without heat, thirst or other appearances. The pulse 
is different from the pulsation of the heart, while that 
is vehement and tumultuary, the pulse can (especial- 
ly when fibrous concretion is formed on the valves) 
be small, weak and less in number. Characteristic 
is (by examination with the stetoscope) a bubbling 
noise, in the beginning soft and gradually becoming 
rougher, disguising both or one single heart-tone. 
The subjective appearances are very different. In 
the beginning and as long as the patient is quiet the 
outer appearances are not many, and the sickness 
can only be distinguished from the physical symp- toms. Dyspnoea and the signs of disturbed venous 
circulation often take a higher grade and the patient 
suffers with suffocation, in agony throws himself 
from one place to another, cannot sleep and only 
finds relief in a sitting position. Snory respiration; 
foam on the mouth; unconsciousness; delirium; often 
death is at the door. 
By the chronio endocarditis the symptoms are slow; 
oppression and anxious feeling in the heart-region 
with attacks of palpitation; later dyspnoea; oedem and 
livor of the face; irregular pulse. 
The distinct characters of endocarditis and peri- 
carditis are as follows: 
215 
Endocarditis. 
Seldom painful feeling 
in the praecordial region. 
The heart-beats are ve- 
hement and superficial. 
Weak (not spread) res- 
onance of the heart-re- 
gion. 
No unusual swelling of 
the praecordial-region. 
Bubbling noise con- 
stantly (single or double.) 
Pulse often in dishar- 
mony with the heart- 
beats. 
Pericarditis. 
Most lively superficial 
pain increased by move- 
ment and percussion. 
The heart-beats are of- 
ten only perceptible and 
hollow from out of the 
depth. 
Weak (spread) reson- 
ance of the heart-region. 
Swelling of the prae- 
cordial-region. 
Peculiar pericardialic 
rubbing noise. 
Pulse mostly in har- 
mony with the heart- 
beats. 
Thcrap.: Rest; light diet; clysma; cool drinks; 
middling temperature in the room.

Symptoms-. These are the same as by adults but 
more danger prevails. To open the mouth good it is 
necessary to put the little finger between the lips and 
press with the point on the root of the tongue, caus- 
ing a tendency to vomit. 
Therap.: Diaphoretics; gargling of fol salviae

Symptoms: Chills changing with heat; tired feel- 
ing; pain in the extremities; sleeplessness; restless- 
ness; anorexia; after 3-4 days appearances of this 
local sickness; swelling, redness and hardness of the 
parotis-glands, which can extend upward to the 
cheeks and eye-lids; the submaxilar-sublingual 217 
glands are swollen, so also the inside of the mouth 
(the patient can hardly open it); chewing and swal- 
lowing are troublesome. In about 7 days (with a 
general sweat) the sickness disappears. Often the 
swelling sinks together, new fever appears and with 
it metastic swelling of other organs (brain, lungs, 
stomache, pancreas, scrotum, mammae, etc.) The 
sickness may prove fetal from metastasis, from the 
pressure of the swelling of the arteries on the neck 
and suppuration. 
Therap.: Diaphoresis; warm, dry compresses; lem- 
onade to drink; bouillon; wine; beer. Inhalation of 
steam; laxative of magn. sulphuric.; aromatic com- 
presses on the scrotum.

7. Enteritis et Gastritis. Entzuendung des Magens

Symptoms'. One place in the abdomen is painful, 
by the least pressure the child will draw the face. 
The next day the circumference is larger, the abdo- 
men hot and bloated in the umbilica region. Skin 
and tongue dry, later high red and often coated with 
slime or sore spots. Fever; thirst; small, frequent 
or very weak pulse. Restless sleep from which the 
child wakes up and cries. The corners of the mouth 218 
and nosewings are drawn together which gives an 
old and melancholy appearance. The upper eyelids 
hang half over the eyeballs. 3-6 passages in 24 hours 
and the child is restless and cries before they pass. 
The passage is brownish, sometimes bloody mixed 
with slime and pus, or green and mixed with white 
(like the whites of a boiled egg chopped up) matter, 
or it is a dark colored fluid. Erythematous redness 
and soreness of the anus; tenesmus; fever with heat 
rises with the diarrhoea; frequent pulse; tongue is 
high red (especially on the point), later dry and coat- 
ed with crusts; vomiting; great thirst; tympanitis; 
abdomen very hot and painful by the least pressure; 
rapid wasting and weakness. This sickness often 
ends fatal. 
Therap.: Keep the patient warm; warm compress- 
es on the abdomen; warm baths. By infants discon- 
tinue milk (in bad cases even the mother-milk); bouil- 
lon, veal-soup, cornstarch; a little sweet wine (2-3 tea- 
spoons daily); salep with veal soup. Never overlook 
any diarrhoea if it keeps on the fourth or fifth day 
(it can be the beginning of enteritis.)

Symptoms'. Anorexia; vomititig; restlessness; yel- 
lowish tinge of the face; painful expression; the ab- 
domen bloated pointedly in the umbillica-region; 
sometimes complete meteorismus; whimpering (cry- 
ing is more painful); by increase of the sickness 
deep inspiration is impossible; remittent fever; hot, 
dry skin; great thirst; frequent, weak pulse; the edge 
of the tongue is red, the middle coated white; sleep- 
lessness; scanty, dark urin; constipation; the child 
lies mostly on the baek. 
Therap.'. If accumulation of faecal-mass is present 
Ol. ricin, or calomel, if not, it is better not to use it. 
Pulv. dower or Tinctr. opii benzoic, (as many drops 
as the child is years of age) every 2 hours; leeches 5- 
8 (as many as the child is old); cold compresses. (Sel- 
dom need these be changed to warm as the children 
like them). Emulsio of Ol. amygdal. dulc. Consti- 
pation of 4-6 days is nothing important (a clysma of 
ricinus-oil will do its duty).

Dyspepsia is generally the cause and therefore most- 
ly found by children that are raised on the bottle; 
crying; 16-24 and even more passages in a day; tenes- 
mus; meteorismus; fever; dry skin; thirst; quick pulse; 
scanty urin; sleeplessness. 
Therap.: Set the milk out for 48 hours and feed 
the child with salep, arrow.root and cornstarch; clys- 
ma of warm water with plumb, acet. 1 to 1000; apply 
a smooth ice-pill in the rectum every 5 minutes for 2 
hours (it will stop the tenesmus); only ice-cold milk 
to drink; warm, dry compresses on the abdomen. 220

State.Incubation'. From 8-12 days. This period to 
the regular appearance of the sickness is often with- 
out any symptoms. Sometimes chills; restlessness; 
sleeplessness; dizziness; anorexia; change in the color 
of the face. 
State invasion and prodrom: Generally begin with 
chills of long duration changing with heat until the 
fever-heat is constant. Frequent, soft pulse; thirst; 
anorexia; colic pain with diarrhoea; headache. Char- 
acteristic with variola-eruption fever is: 
i. Connexion with gastric symptoms: Coated 
tongue; bad taste; nausea; vomiting; pain in the fore- 
head; dark urin; constipation. 
2. Stiffness and vehement pain in the back and 
upper thighs (this disappears with the eruption.) ' 
3. Eethargia; frightened and crytng out in the 
sleep; gnashing with the teeth; convulsive moments. 
All this occurs mostly in the evening and at night. 
4. Sometimes collapse appears in this state (from 
paleness, fainting, etc.). Hoarseness; pain in the 
chest; dyspnoea; angina; tenesmus and dysuria are 
not as frequent as some of the other symptoms. 
5. Remission of all these appearances in the morn- 
ing, often with diaphoresis which keeps on during 
the whole state, while the eruption almost disappears 
(but again appears in the state exsiccat.). The 
patient and the breath smell like mouldy bread. This 
state lasts 2-3 days. For further see variola of 
adults.

the larynx and its epidemic appearance. Fever; chills 
headache in the frontalis; weakness; aching in all 
parts of the body, dry cough; sleeplessness; anorexia;

Asphyxia. Scheintod. 
This can be very different, it can come from gas, 
strangulation, chloroform and drowning. 
Symptoms-. Appearance as if all the functions of 
life, of the brain, nerve-system, circulation and res- 
piration organs had ceased. The heart-action very 
weak or not heard at all. 
Examination: Particular examination of the heart. 
With a fine needle prick'in the apex of the heart and 
watch its movement. Sealing wax or hot water on 
the breast, if there is life in the body the skin becomes 
red. Wind a string around the finger tightly, if it 
turns red, or aqua, ammon. hypodermic and the skin 
becomes red and swollen, there is life. 
Therap.: Remove all the clothing; fresh, pure air; 
Aq. ammon. to smell; artificial respiration; cleanse 
the mouth and nose; mouth to mouth and blow in 
air; friction the lower extremities with flannel or 
sharp brush, (but not before the blowing in air is 
made); several clysmas of warm water with salt or 
vinegar; cold water on the face and chest; cold water 
on the head while in a warm bath; sinapism on the 
feet and calves of the legs; tickle the nose with a 
feather or snuff; warm hand and foot baths; wrap 
the patient up warm in bed; faradisation of the 
phrenicus nerve. 
Turn a drowned person on his side so the water can 
run out, or use an elastic catheter through the Rima 
glottidis s. vocalis, to draw out the water, but never 
stand him on the head. Artificial respiration. 
By strangulation the larynx and trachea cardilago 
must be examined, if fractured the larynx, or trach- 
eatomy must be performed. The chest and neck 226 
must be free; artificial respiration and blow in air. 
The Sylvester and Marshall-Hall method does won- 
ders sometimes. Aq. ammon. to smell; irritating 
clysma. 
By signs of congestion vene section is indicated. 
By asphyxia after chloroform (when the circula- 
tion and respiration and slow or stop) the first rem- 
edy is to take the patient in good fresh air and a 
strong man take him with the legs over his shoulders 
(so the head hangs down) and walk fast around with 
him for a while; if this does not bring any signs of 
life, the artificial respiration must be made by low 
position of the head. The mouth and tongue must 
be examined before all other manipulations. To pre- 
vent such an accident as much as possible, it is nec- 
essary to examine the chloroform before using. The 
best method: If concentrated acid, sulphuric, is add- 
ed to the chloroform, the color should not get red or 
brown. Alcohol makes it yellow if it is not good. 
One drop of chloroform in a glass of water should 
not be cloudy, but fall to the bottom as a crystal- 
pearl (if clear.) 
Intoxications. 
1. Organic Poison. 
/. Cadaver Poison. 
Symptoms: The symptoms take place in 24 hours. 
Erysipelatous inflamation with ulceration on the 
wound; swelling- and suppuration of the lymph-glands; 
fever; headache; restlessness; vomiting; often deliri- 
um. The wound is not closed, and by a little pres- 
sure discharge of lymph. Pyaemia. 
The prognosis in general is favorable. 
Prophylaxis'. Rub the hands in with yellow cerat 
(it is also good against the smell afterwards). 
Therap: By infection suck out the wound; appli- 
cation of acid, acet., argent, nitric., terebinth. In- 
ternally chinin. sulph. and acid, salicylic. Further 
treatment according to the rules in general. 
2. Cantharid. Poison. 
The cantharides have relation with the urinary and 
genital organs. 
Symptoms: If taken internally, the mouth, oeso- 
phagus and the mucous-membranes of the stomache 
are red and inflamed; often inflamation of the penis; 
the patient complains of a sharp taste; pain in the 
throat, stomache, kidney region and in the bladder; stranguria and bloody urin; trouble to swallow; vom- 
iting; very much impulse for cohabitation; in some 
cases dyspnoea and haemoptoea; frequent pulse; hot 
skin; prostration; delirium; tetanic or epileptic spasms 
death. From cantharide plaster it will not follow 
very easily (it would take an enormous quantity for 
a long time. 
Prognosis is not fatal. 
Th erap.: Vomiting with apomorphine, or use the 
stomache.pump; laxative of calomel and jalap, or 
mannae. elect.; avoid all oil laxative; give nothing to 
drink, Further treatment must be for the gastro- 
enteritis and the urinary organs. Cupping on the 
kidney region; warm cataplasm on the abdomen; 
warm baths. 
By narcotic appearances-. Alcoholic drinks; moshi. 
By erection: Chloroform inhalation and slimy 
drinks. 
3. Ergotismus. Kriebelkrankheit. 
Symptoms-. Dizziness; headache; restlessness; pain 
in the back and extremities; feeling as if ants were 
crawling in the same; vomiting; dry skin; cold sweat. 
Sometimes the sickness is only in the fingers, hands 
(feeling numb) and goes spasmodic in the flexors to 
the elbows in the night. ) 
2. State: The patient has a feeling of numb pain 
in the fingers, toes, nose, etc.; thick, red face (but no 
rising of temperature), contrary reducement of the 
same); frequent, small pulse. Then follows gan- 
graena. 
Therp.-. Vomiting and strong laxative; diuretica 
and diaphoretica; warm aromatic compresses on the

atmosphere of this poison by the respiration, and to 
the skin by handling the same, as in quick-silver 
mines, looking-glass factories etc. Girdlers, bronze- 
barometer-and hat-makers are exposed to this. Here 
it is from the hydrarg. nitric, oxydat.

When clear copper has been taken the symptoms 
are all quicker, but if taken with the meals more 236 
slow. If it comes to gangraene the pain in the abdo- 
men stops, the pulse becomes very weak and hic- 
cough appears. The course is quick and in a few 
hours or days the patient recovers or dies. 
Therap.\ Vomiting, then antidote: white of eggs 
with water; Magn, usta with water by teaspoon; 
Ferr. pulveratum (iron filings); charcoal; soda bi- 
carbonic; Ferr. sulphurat. Further treatment symp-

Poison from Resorption of the Cuprum. 
This poison shows .symptoms of acute cerebro-spin- 
al affection and copper-colic. 
i. Acute Cerebro-Spinal Affection. (Encephalo- 
Myelopathia Cuprica.) 
This sickness comes from large quantities of re- 
sorbed copper without the digestive organs having to 
suffer for it. 
Symptoms'. Vehement headache; dizziness; weak- 
ness; trembling of the extremities and cold spasms; 
mydriasif; disturbances in the respiration and circu- 
lation; sometimes vomiting; diarrhoea and colic; co- 
ma; anaesthesia; convulsions; paralysis. 
By P. M. we find hyperaemia of the brain and the 
medulla-vertebrae, and the vein blood-vessels over- 
filled. 
Therap.: When possible removal of the poison. 
For the Nerve Symptoms: Opii, cold compresses, 
sinapism and stimulants. Pot. ferro-cyanatum can 
be tried. 
2, Copper-Colic. Colica Aeruginis. 
This colic is mostly found by workmen in the cop- 
per-mills, in copper and brass foundries, etc; by cop- 
per-smiths, copper-engravers, printers of copper- 
plates. 
Symptoms'. Greenish color of the hair, face, eyes 
and teeth are often the beginning of the sickness; 
next the whole body becomes green impregnated, 
also the saliva and urin. Pain increased by press- 
ure in the umbilica-region; anorexia; vomiting; 
thirst; salivation; most constantly diarrhoea and 
tenesmus; bloated abdomen; frequent pulse; head- 
ache; the patient is mournful and weak; wasting. 
The colic-pain appears in paroxysm (but not as vehe- 
ment as by lead-colicj. Immediately after the colic- 
paroxysm, evacuation of the bowels follows, while 
by lead-colic not (there is constipation). The patient 
recovers in 7-14 days. 237 
Therap.: Leeches and warm narcotic cataplasm 
on the stomache. 
Internally. Slimy emulsion, opii, etc. 
For the Vomiting: Sedlitz-powder, ice, milk and 
oatmeal diet. 
By Tenesmus: Opium clysma; leeches on the anus, 
etc. 
4. Antimon Poison. Slibismus. 
Tartar stibiat (emetic) is important for the praxis. 
Pathologic Anatomy. If death follows in conse- 
quence of sickness of the stomache and intestine, we 
find on the mucous-membranes of the stomache, etc., 
the signs of inflamation, softening and those of gan- 
graena and stibiat-blisters. By cerebro-spinal death 
the mucous-membranes are intact. 
Symptoms'. Stiptic, metallic taste; burning in the 
throat; inclination to vomit; vomiting; suffocation; 
hiccough; often trouble to swallow; pain increased 
by pressure in the epigastrium; colic appearances; 
bloated abdomen; diarrhoea. The distant effect 
shows signs of prostration; pressure; asthmatic res- 
piration; headache dizziness; in the beginning small, 
quick, later slow pulse; swooning; loss of conscious- 
ness; delirium; convulsions; spasms in the calves. 
Complete or incomplete recovery. The sickness 
takes from 1 day to several weeks. Can also prove 
fatal. 
Therap.'. Good vomiting with apomorphine; opium 
against vehement vomiting. 
Against the Poison: Tannin; decoction of gallar- 
um, oak-bark, china-bark, green-tea, etc. After this 
diuretica. 
By Inflamation of the Stomache'. Treatment for 
acute gastritis. 
By Appearances of Congestions: Local application 
of leeches (on the head by brain-congestion); cold 
compresses; sinapism; clysma. 
By Paralysis'. Careful stimulants, coffee, tea, etc. 
5. Argent. Nitric. Hoellenstein. 
Acute Poison-. Large quantities of argentum nitri- 
cum in the stomache (which can happen by a piece 
breaking off by cauterisation of the throat, etc.) The 
throat, oesophagus, stomache (sometimes even the 
intestines) are covered with a white scab, a whitish 
mass or a blackish scab or ulcers. The membranes 
of the muscles are inflamed and often perforated. 
Symptoms'. Intense pain in the stomache and ab- 
domen; vehement constriction in the throat; vomit- 
ing; diarrhoea; weakness; mydriasis; spasm of the 238 
eye-muscles; asthmatic respiration; paralysis. Death 
follows in the first 10-24 hours if medical aid is not at 
hand in time. 
Therap.'. Antidote: at first concentrated table-salt 
solution and then strongly salted whites of eggs with 
water. After this, slimy drinks, milk, oatmeal, etc. 
Against the Inflamatiow. Antiphlogistic treat- 
ment. 
By Cerebro-Sprnal Symptoms'. Cold water baths; 
cold clysma; internally (if stomache symptoms are 
not present) stimulants. 
2. Chronic Poison'. From the long use of Argent, 
nitric, a dark color appears on the skin and mucous- 
membranes, as by long treatment of the eyelids the 
sclera becomes blackish-blue or slate-gray. The con- 
stitution is good. 
6. Arsenic Poison Acute. Arsenic-Vergiftung Acuta. 
Symptoms'. Slight contracting taste (absent by 
strong solution); feeling of burning and constriction 
in the throat and stomache; salivation; blunt feeling 
of the teeth. After an hour or more, vehement pain 
in the stomache; inclination to vomit; vomiting; 
bloated abdomen; vehement colic; diarrhoea with 
strong tenesmus and pain in the anus; the abdomen 
is painful by pressure; vehement thirst; pale face; 
troublesorfie respiration. The patient complains of 
too much heat and thereby the skin is cold. Erysip- 
alatous exzema on the skin; injected eyes; soundless 
voice; collapse; coma; often delirium; death. The 
fatal end seldom comes in the first 24 hours, it can 
take a week and longer. The patient can recover 
quickly, or it comes to chronic trouble of the digest- 
ive organs, sensorium and nerves. 
Therap.: Antidote: Ferr. hydricum, in Aqua (in 
the beginning 1-3 tablespoons at once every 5 min- 
utes, later longer intervals between). Diq. ferr. 
acetici by teaspoon or more. 1 part will make 4 parrs 
of solution fowlerii harmless. Any iron will do its 
duty. Vomiting; stomache pump; iron with magnes- 
ia; whites of eggs with magnesia and water. If the 
arsenic was taken in substance, add 1 drop Aq. am- 
nion. to the iron solution.

Taken in small quantities. 
Symptoms-. Pale face, (catarrh, ulcers), broncho- 
pneumonia, phthisis or diseases of the nerve-system 
(brain, medulla-vertebrae, heart-nerves) or of the 
skin (erysiple, exzema), or conjunctivitis, wasting 
and hectic symptoms. The hair and nails fall out. 
Therap;. The patient must give up the work in 
the mines and mills, etc, Strengthning diet; clear, 
fresh air; support the diuresis, diaphoresis and the 
function of the intestines. Tonic with iron. 
7. Phosphor Poison. 
The poison comes through phosphor in substance, 
and through smoke. There is the acute and chronic. 
The heart and large blood-vessels are filled with dark 
blood (becomes red quickly in the air). The mucous 
membranes are red. 
Acute Poison: 
Symptoms: Burning pain in the stomache; sensi- 
bility in the stomache region; thirst; inclination to 
vomit; diarrhoea and vomiting or constipation and 
no vomiting; the vomiting mass has a phosphorous 
smell and throws light in the dark; also the urin and 
the sputa have these appearances by resorption of 
the poison; quick respiration and excitement follow- 
ed by depression; pulse quickly gets slow; the urin is 
brownish yellow and contains albumen; icterus; head- 
ache; sleeplessness; restlessness; delirium or somno- 
lence. In time of 24-48 hours death follows.

From pot. caustic, natrun, ammoniac, calcaria usta, 
lye. 
Symptoms: Burning- pain and constriction in the 
mouth and throat; taste of lye; vehement vomiting 
until blood vomiting appears; often diarrhoe and 
bloody passage; collapse; in vehement cases death in 
24 hours. If the patient does not die, a long extend- 
ed gastro-enteritis appears, and through the forma- 
tion of stricture gives cause for many burdensome 
symptoms. 
Therap.: Strong lemonade; vinegar with water; 
sometimes the stomache-pump used here is good, but 
often not. Vomiting; butter-milk; slimy drinks. In 
necessity oil or fat. 
g. Mineral Acid Poison. Schwefel und Salzsaeure. 
Saltpeter und Scheide-wasser. 
Symptoms .-Burning in the mouth, throat and oeso- 
phagus to the stomache; vehement vomiting; blood- 
vomiting; intense pain in the stomache and abdomen, 
later it is bloated; thirst; difficult to swallow; irregu- 
lar, small pulse; bloody passage; urin-secretion stops; 
collapse. In bad cases death in 24 hours (in general 
2-3 days). Reconvalescence is slow. 
Therap.-. Magnesia carbon and usta. Best anti- 
dote: chalk, lime-water, milk, soap-water or whites 
of eggs with water; vomiting with oil. This remedy 
must be continued until the vomited-mass smells of 
alkalic-reaction. Ice-cloth around the neck; ice-pills 
to swallow; ice compresses on the epigastrium. 
For the vehement vomiting-. Morph, hypodermic. 
By oedem glottidis-. Quick tracheatomy. As diet 
during the first days: bouillon, milk and clysma of 
bouillon. 
By collapse-. The same with wine and eggs. 
By stricture of the oesophagus: Use the throat- 
sound with a sponge on. 
By ulcers of the stomache-. Milk diet; adstringentia 
(argent, nitr. or bismuth nitric.) and narcotica 
(Morph, or belladonna.) 
By constipation: Regulate with aloe. The after- 
treatment takes particular care. 
io. Asphyxia from Coal-oxyde. Gas. Kohlendunst 
und Leuchtgas. 
Symptoms: Dizziness; headache; tingling in the 
ears; nausea; vomiting; palpitation of the heart; som- 
nolence, Rater anaesthesia of the cutis and pafaly- 241 
sis of the lower extremities spreading upward over 
the body. Atony of the capillars through which hae- 
morrhagic appears; the pulsation of the heart becomes 
slow and irregular; loss of consciousness; death can 
follow from asphyxia; in other cases the patient can 
be brought back to life. 
Therap: Bring the patient in fresh air, disrobe 
him and give him a sitting position; sprinkle cold 
water over him; friction the body and feet with snow 
or ice; sinapism; Aq. ammon. to smell; clysma of 
water and vinegar. 
Internally: Hxcitantia, wine, brandy, black coffee, 
aether, camphor and aether hypodermic; artificial 
respiration. 
By livid face: Vene-section; electric irritation to 
the phrenicus-nerve. The last is transfusion. If 
brought to life, further treatment symptomatical. 
ii. Asphyxia from Carbonic Acid Gas. Scheintod 
von Kohlensaeure. 
This can occur in rooms with poor ventilation, or 
where large quantities of organic bodies are turning 
into rottenness or fermentation (as in vaults, beer 
and wine-cellars). The development of abundant 
carbonic acid in such rooms forms the deepest air- 
layer by its weight. The poison effect overtakes the 
work-men in such places when they bend over. It can 
only occur in closed rooms filled with people. 
Symptoms: Headache; dizziness; swooning; ting- 
ling in the ears; sparks before the eyes; great weak- 
ness in the muscles and extremities; dysponea; in- 
clination to vomit; vomiting; cold, cyanotic skin; ir- 
regular, small pulse; very often ends fatal. 
Therap.: Bring .the patient in fresh air; then 
vomiting with apomorph, hypodermic. By very weak 
respiration: artificial respiration. Afterward aether 
or camphor-water hypodermic; aether on the chest. 
Further treatment symptomatical. 
By carbonic acid in cleaning wells etc.: the first 
thing is to make ventilation, so that help can be 
brought to those lying in the poisonous atmosphere. 
This can be done by firing off pistol shots or throw- 
ing in burning straw. The people going to aid 
should have a sponge wet with vinegar on the mouth 
and nose, so they can breathe without inhaling too 
much of the poison. The best thing is a respiration- 
nozzle which is in combination with the atmospheric- 
air and breathe through the same. They should also 
have a rope around the body that in case of accident 
they can be drawn up quickly. For further see coal- 
ohyde. Gas. 242 
12. Baryta. Baryt. 
Symptoms: Appearances of inflamation in the 
stomache and intestines; dizziness; convulsions. 
Therap.: Natr. sulphuric, magn. sulphuric, with 
oatmeal; give the patient much water to drink. 
13. Arnica. 
Symptoms'. Headache; dizziness; vehement sweat; 
diarrhoea; spasms. 
Therap.'. Plenty vinegar to drink; wash the ex- 
tremities with vinegar; vinegar compresses on the 
head. 
14. Colocynth. Coloquinten. 
Symptoms'. Vehement pain in the abdomen; spasms; 
bloody diarrhoea; inflamation and gangraene of the 
intestines and stomache. 
Therap.'. Ol. olivar.; emulsio amygdal. dulc.; oat- 
meal; starch; Decoct, salep with opii. 
15. Glass. Glas. {Swallowed.} 
Symptoms: There may be some pain in the pharynx 
and spitting of blood, and there may be none at all. 
Sometimes it can only be found out by the patient if 
glass was swallowed (accidently or intentionally,) or 
not. 
Therap.'. Potatoes boiled with the peelings on, and 
the patient must eat only them (nothing else and 
nothing to drink) for 24-48 hours. After 24 hours Ol. 
olivar. oz. 4. at once, or Ol. ricin every 2 hours 1 table- 
spoon until a good physic is produced. 
16. Iodine. Jod. 
Symptoms', Dryness and burning pain in the mouth 
and throat. The brown color shows on the mem- 
branes. 
Therap.: Emeticum of ipecac; thick starch (often 
in large doses); milk; warm baths; valerii, chinin. 
sulph.; antispasmodic medicine. Further treatment 
symptomatical. 
17. Iodoform. 
Symptoms'. Headache; altered disposition; anxiety; 
sleeplessness; weak memory; quick, but small pulse. 
By bad forms the intoxication begins with the 
above symptoms, but is accompanied with restless- 
ness; delirium; hallucination; insane ideas of being 
pursued; melancholy; deluded mind; sweat; scanty 
urin; albuminuria; dyspnoea; high fever. All food 
is refused. 243 
Iherap.-. Avoid the application of large doses. By 
big operations it is better to use other antiseptics 
with iodoform. After the intoxication clean the 
wound from all the iodoform. 
For sleeplessness and excitement: Morph. 2 chloral- 
hydrat or sulphonal. 
18. Fructus s. Semen Cocculi. Grana Cocculi. 
Kockelkoerner. 
Symptoms: Dizziness; headache; dryness in the 
mouth; trembling; inclination to vomit; pain in the 
stomache-region and abdomen; weariness; coma; con- 
vulsions; quick pulse and respiration in the begin- 
ning; salivation. The course of the intoxication is 
rapid and nearly always fatal. 
Therap.-. Emetic of ipecac or apo-morph., then 
vinegar to drink. Eater emulsion of camphor. 
rg. Solanum. 
Symptoms-. Dizziness; weakness; hyperaesthesia 
of the skin; small, frequent pulse; slow and heavy 
respiration; lethargy without sleep; often vomiting; 
convulsions; albuminuria. 
It does not effect the pupils. The course is general- 
ly favorable. 
Therap.-. Vomiting. Antidote: Natr. carbonicum, 
natr. bicarbonicum or Pot. bicarbonic. 
20. Helleborus. Nieswurzel. 
Symptoms-. Vomiting; diarrhoe; anxiety; pain in 
the abdomen; congestion to the head; trembling; eyes 
rolling; cold sweat; face bloated; formication in the 
extremities; palpitation of the heart; weakness of 
the muscles; swooning; convulsions of the face-mus- 
cles; salivation; insanity; speechlessness; stiffness of 
the tongue; spasms and convulsions of the extremi- 
ties; tetanic attacks; anaesthesia; in unfavorable cas-. 
es death follows in a few hours from paralysis of 
the heart. 
Therap. Ol. olivar.; oatmeal; barley slime; sugar- 
water; potass, dr. 2. with raw eggs and water every 
15 minutes 2 tablespoons. 
By fainting: Strong coffee and later emulsio cam- 
phorat. 
2i. Campignon. Pilze. Schwaeme. 
Symptoms-. The appearances of the intoxication 
are different, according to the champignon. The 
symptoms in general are of a double nature. 1. Signs 
of irritative, and 2. nervous disturbances. Some- 244 
times one is in the lead and then again the other, 
sometimes both alike. Vehement^pain in the stom- 
ache region and abdomen; great thirst; profuse vom- 
iting and diarrhoea, sometimes of a bloody mass; 
dizziness; headache; weakness; dilated pupils; wand- 
ering mind; stupor; trismus; sometimes tetanic con- 
vulsions and Coma. 
By agaricus muscarius the symptoms generally ap- 
pear after 1-2 hours. The gastric symptoms are mix- 
ed with the neurotic, and (as a rule) even the nervous 
disturbances appear, as stupor and unconciousness. 
Sometimes there is no vomiting. Death follows after 
2-3 days, sometimes sooner. Recovery can take days, 
weeks and even months. 
By amanita phalloides the irritative and nervous 
symptoms are combined, (here both are of equal 
strength ) and takes 24 hours or longer before the first 
disturbances appear. Death follows after 12 hours to 
4-7 days. By russula Integra and boletus luridus the 
intoxication appearances come in a few hours. These 
are chiefly irritative poisons and very often collapse 
follows rapidly. 
Therap.-. Vomiting with zinc, sulphuric, gr. 6-10. 
or apomorph.; quick laxative of Ol. ricin and magn. 
sulphuric., then green tea; decoct quercus (oak-bark); 
tannin; strong coffee; Aqua ammonium every 15 min- 
utes 20 drops with 2 tablespoons of water is very 
good. 
22. Sabina. Sadebaum. 
Symptoms: Pain in thestomache; vomiting (which 
smells like sabini, so also does the urin) of green col- 
ored mass and often containing blood; diarrhoea sel- 
dom; ischuria spastica; often haematuria; local irri- 
tation; nervous appearances; dyspnoea; convulsions; 
unconsciousness and insensibility; often symptoms of 
peritonitis. By pregnancy it generally irritates to 
abortus and is often fatal in 12-24 hours. 
Therap.: Vomiting; stomache-pump; Ol, olivar.; 
Ol. ricin; emulsio amygdal. dulc.; oatmeal; sugar- 
water; later camphor emulsio; vene-section of leeches 
(if necessary repeated). 
23. Nitrum. Saltpeter. 
Symptoms: 2 dr. in one dose causespain in the ab- 
domen; spasms; gastritis. 
Therap.-. Antidote: oatmeal; slimy soup; starch; 
sugar-water. 24. Santonin. 
Symptoms-. Spasms; hypercatharsis (too much vom- 
iting and diarrhoe); urin dark and shows the santonin. 
Therap.-. Laudanum with Syr. cinnam.; the beat- 
en whites of eggs in water to drink; slimy drinks. 
25. Rhus Toxicodendrom. Sumach. 
Symptoms-. Externally brought on the skin it forms 
pemphigus-like excoriation. Internally in small dos- 
es it increases the intestine- and kidney secretions; 
transpiration. By larger doses the effect is not 
alone local, as by acria (to cause nausea and vomit- 
ing), but it brings on stupor, dizziness, troublesome 
respiration and often ends fatal. 
Therap.: Externally: application of Unguent, 
zinc, oxydat. or white-praecipitat-ointment. 
Internally. Cremor tartar in large doses and often; 
sugar-water; cool diet; milk and Ol. olivar.; Ol. 
ricin. 
2b. Digitalis. 
Symptoms-. Dizziness; hallucination; heavy dreams; 
disturbances in the sight; dryness in the throat; 
rumbling and pain in the abdomen; inclination to 
vomit; vomiting; anorexia. 
By larger doses-. Colic-pain and diarrhoea; vomit- 
ing of green mass; sometimes salivation; tingling in 
the ears; mydriasis; seeing different colors; charac- 
teristic change in the heart-action; in the beginning 
the pulse is often very quick and irregular, later slow 
(to 25 beats in a minute), low, set out and unequal; 
slow respiration; low temperature. Later convul- 
sions and delirium; coma; the heart-action sistirt 
and death follows slowly after 20 hours to 10-20 days. 
Reconvalescence is slow too. 
Therap.: When a patient is treated with this rem- 
edy for a long time, it is best to set it out every now 
and then. 
Antidote-. Tannin and excitable remedies in- and 
externally; alcoholic wash; sinapism on the stomache 
region; cold compresses on the head; wine; camphor. 
By a large quantity taken, the first would be to emp- 
ty the stomache. 
27. Tea Poison.. Theegzft. 
Symptoms-. Pale face; trembling of the hands; 
nervous excitment; headache: migraena. 
Therap.-. Antidote: strong coffee; strong chamo- 
mill-tea: camphor. 
245 246 
Zoonosen. 
7. Lyssa. Hydrophobia. Hundswuth 
Symptoms-. The time of incubation is different, in 
general from 1-6 weeks. The injury is the worst on 
the face and hands. , 
i. State- prodrom. 2-3 days before the breaking 
out of the sickness the wound or scar made takes a 
peculiar change. The wound becomes painful, livid 
and the matter is not a good one. The scar becomes 
red, swollen and often breaks open again and itches, 
or there is pain which takes a centripetal course. 
The patient is in bad humor, wants to be alone, timid, 
anxious and restless; much dreaming in the sleep; 
weakness; pressure in the praecordial region: stiff- 
ness in the neck: burning in the mouth and stomache; 
from time to time deep-sighing- inspiration. 
2. State convulsion-hydrophobia-. Attacks of suf- 
focation by drinking: periodical throat and asthmat- 
ic spasms. During the attacks epileptic and tetanic 
spasms appear, but no trismus. The patient feels 
like biting, but warns the surroundings not to come 
near. These attacks last from 10-20 minutes. The 
spasmodic appearances are more respiratoric and have 
their seat in the vagus, phrenicus and accessorius. 
This state lasts 1-2 days. 
j. State.: The free intervals become more sel- 
dom. The saliva runs continually out of the mouth 
or in the throat. Quick breating; small pulse; weak, 
raw voice; sticky sweat covers the body; rigid eyes 
and dilated pupils. Death follows during the attack 
or after it is over. 
Therap.: Cut the wound out good; strong cauter- 
isation with Pot. caustic or Acid, muriat., or ferr. 
candens and let it matter long; plenty wine to drink 
and then a good sweat. Friendly surroundings are 
very important. Belladonna is recommended but 
does not help much. Steam-baths are good; wash 
the wound different times daily with Acid, carbol, 
solut. or Pot. caustic.

Symptoms: The time for incubation is not certain. 
According to Virchow 3-5 days. The sickness begins 
with fever, chills (repeated several times); tired feel- 
ing; drawing pain in the extremities, shoulders and 
back (changing off, sometimes one and then the 
other) and increased by pressure. 
Localisations-. 
i. In the Nose: Erysipalatous swelling around 
the nose; discharge of clammy, dirty, bloody matter; 
arrosion; formation of knots and ulcers on the mu- 
cous-membranes of the nose, mouth and throat. 
2. In the Skin-. Blisters; worm-knots with gang- 
raenous appearance which burst. 
y. In the Muscles-. Gangraenous, mattery or hae- 
morrhagic destructive knots. 
In the Lungs-. Coughing, difficult breathing 
and rattling noise. 
5. On a Wound: Redness; lymphangitis; painful 
tumors (lymphadenitis); blisters and worm-tumors. 
The patient gets weaker; typhous fever; frequent, 
thin pulse; delirium and stinking diarrhoea; collapse 
and in a comatous condition death follows. 
Therap.: Cauterisation of the wound with Ferr. 
candens; Pot. caustic. Open the knots and abscess 
early and clean with Acid, carbol, solut. or Aqua 
chlori. 
To clean the Nose: Argent, nitric, or carbol, solu- 
tion. 
For the Fever: Chinin, sulph. with acid. natr. sal- 
icylic. 10 gr. dose every 2 hours; strengthning diet, 
bouillon, wine, eggs, beer. Further treatment 
symptomatical.

Time of incubation is from a few hours to a few 
days. From preserved hides 10-12 days. The in- 
and extensity of this sickness is according to the age 
of the poison and the place of the infection. The in- 
fection on the neck is always very dangerous, as also 
the infection from fresh poison (blood, sweat, fluid 
from the tumors, etc.) 
Symptoms; 
i. State Incubation-. Eively itching. 
2. State Eruption: 4-6 days. Formation of pap- 
ulous aud pustulous blisters with red circle; super- 
ficial mumification; enlargement of the gangraene- 
scurf; oedem; painful swelling of the lymph-glands; 
numbness of the affected parts. 
3. State Infection-. In the beginning inflamation, 
later typhous fever with general gastric appearances. 
By reconvalescence the fever disappears, the scurf 
falls off and the ulcers heal by granulation. 
Contrary, the gangraena spreads further, becomes 
diffuse and goes deeper. The typhous fever rises rap- 
idly (delirium, vomiting, anxiety). Sopor and at 
last the patient dies from weakness or in convulsions. 
This sickness can kill in 24 hours, but generally 
takes from 6-10 days or to the limitation of the gan- 
graene. The healing of the ulcers take a long time. 
Therap.: The first thing is to destroy the seat of the 
infection (even if called later). Cut the infected 
part out good and cauterise with Pot. caustic., zinc- 
um chloricum or acid muriat. 
By Large Ulcers-. Deep incision before cauterisa- 
tion, and then antiseptic dressing. 
Internally. Chinin, sulph. with mineral, acid; ar- 
senic.; later tonic; strengthning diet. 
Septic Poisons. 
i. Snake-Bite. Schlangenbiss. 
Symptoms'. Redness and swelling of the wound; 249 
fever; aversion; swooning; cold extremities; inflama- 
tion of the lymph-glands; dizziness; headache; ting- 
ling in the ears; black before the eyes; trembling; of- 
ten vomiting of bloody mass; vehement thirst; 
spasms; icterus; pain in the stomache region; diar- 
rhoea; scanty urin; delirium; trismus and tetanic ap- 
pearances. 
Therap.'. Quick ligature over the bite; suck out 
the wound (but not with rotten teeth); cauterise with 
Pot. caustic or ferrum, candens. Hypodermic in- 
jection of concentrated solution of Pot. hypermang. 
around the wound, and whiskey to drink (as much as 
the person can bring down). Any one can stand %- 
% gallon (even those who use no liquor) and children 
can drink a half to 1 quart. Diaphoresis; Aqua am- 
mon. 5-10-20 drops with sugar-water; camphor. 
By Collapse'. Stimulants. 
2. Bee, Wasp and Mosquito Sting and Scorpion-Bite, 
Beenen- Wespen-Mucken Stiche und Scorpionen-Biss. 
Symptoms: Burning, swelling, redness and lanc- 
ing pain. 
Therap.'. Ice or cold compresses; friction with oil; 
application of diluted Aqua ammon. 
By Sting in the Mouth: Gargle with strong salt- 
water solution and a few drops of Aqua amnion, 
added. 
Diseases of the Eye. Augenkrankheiten. 
i. Blepharitis. Entzuendung der Angenlider. 
Symptoms'. Pressure and heaviness of the eyelids; 
redness; swelling (sometimes so much that the eye- 
lid can not be opened); very painful. The tear-or- 
gans suffer also, therefore tearing of the eye, dry- 
ness of the nose on the affected side and sneezing. 
Therap.: Clean out the crusts; application of Ol. 
olivar.; turn the lid and make application with acid, 
tannic, and after that frequent compresses of Plumb, 
acet; the loose cilia must be taken out with the ciliar- 
pinchette; dark room; laxative; light diet.

2. Blepharophimosis. Augenlid- Verengerung. 
This is where the eyelid is too narrow. It comes 
from chronic inflamation (as trachoma) scalding, etc. 
Therap.: Canthoplastic enlargement of the lid. 
With a scissors cut 4-8 M. M. in the lid and sew the 
conjunctiva and skin together. 
j. Dishchiasis and Trichiasis. 
Distiehiasis. 
From sickness of the bottom of the cilia roots the 
assimilation suffers. The cilia fall out and new, 
thin hairs grow in false places and in contrary di- 
rection. The constant irritation which those hairs 
produce on the cornea often causes the most vehe- 
ment inflamation, which in consequence can bring 
on the loss of sight, or also phthisis bulbi (from sup- 
puration.) 
Trichiasis. 
The cilia have a wrong position in which they 
stand inward against the eye-ball, instead of out- 
ward. They irritate the same and keep them in a 
chronic inflamed condition. 
Therap.: Operation is the only remedy. With the 
Desmarre's plate press the lid in, open the tarsal- 
margin over the cardilago upward, take an oblique 
piece out of the skin and sew it together again. This 
brings the tarsal-margin and the cilia upward. 
Another operation is: Loosen the tarsal-edge (or 
margin) upward and lay a Jaeger's plate between the 
cardilago and skin. Make 2 parallel incisions one- 
half to three-fourths of an inch long, then one verti- 
cal cut through one end on this,-and one on the 251 
other piece on the other end. Now lay the lower up- 
wards-and the upper down to fit the vertical incis- 
ion, with a stitch sew it together and put a bandage 
over. 
Entropium. 
The edge of the lid is turned inward. The cilia ir- 
ritates the eye-ball and brings on cloudiness of the 
cornea. 
Operation: Make a horizontal incision through 
the skin and cardilago, draw the skin upward and 
cut out (of the cardilago) 2MM. in V form along the 
wound and sew the skin together (Berlin). 
5. Ecktropium. 
The lid is turned outward. It comes mostly on the 
lower lid and generally on both eyes. The conjunct- 
iva palpebralis turns outward. The after consequen- 
ces are a deformity, tearing of the eyes, further: sar- 
comatous degeneration of the conjunctiva, ulcers 
and cloudiness of the cornea; atrophy of the bulbus. 
Operation-. Make an incision along the tarsal-edge 
of the lower lid, then downward and cut a triangle 
out of the skin. Prepare the skin loose from both 
sides and sew it together. By the upper lid (which 
is very seldom) I take a needle and (3-4 MM. from the 
margin) go through from the inside outward, put a 
pearl on the thread and % inch from the other, go 
through and come out on the inside. These two 
strings must be rolled on a piece of adhaesive plast- 
er, fastened on the cheek and secured well. Another 
way is to place the thread through the cheek and 
fastened there. When there is very much ecktrop- 
ium, I make a horizontal incision in the skin and 
plant a piece of skin in it. This gave me very satis- 
factory results by an accident which occured by slack- 
ing lime. 
6. Trachoma. Conjunctivitis Granulosa. Granu, 
lirte Augen-Entzuendung. 
Symptoms-. Formation of granules the size of a 
pinhead and larger, on the conjunctiva of the lids. 
By a larger accumulation of the same there is inflam- 
ation of the conjunctiva, sensitiveness, greater abund- 
ance of secretion. 
By chronic cases the granulation becomes yellow- 
ish, thick and lies deep in the conjunctiva; formation 
of stringy dots and stripes; the eye feels stiff by 
movement; photophobia; pain; tearing of the eyes; 
swelling of the lids. The injection passes over to 
the cornea (keratitis pannosa). The formation of 252 
this granulation causes a continual mechanic irrita- 
tion to the cornea. 
Therap.'. By panus trachomatosis; application of 
coccaine; destroy the granulation with Knapp's rol- 
ler-pincette; application of Cupr. sulphur, once daily; 
application of concentrated solution of Acid, tannic, 
twice daily; atropin sulph.; scarification of the blood 
vessels around the cornea (if the injection is too 
much and runs together to formation of infiltration 
in the cornea); cool with cold water; smoke glasses.

7. Conjunctivitis Scrophulosa. Scrophtdoese Binde 
haut- Emtzuendnng. 
Symptoms'. The primary seat is the conjunctiva 
bulbi. Spasmodic closing of the lids; often pain; 
uncommon photophobia; sharp tears punning period- 
ically; often discharge of the nose and ears. This 
takes several days, then the symptoms become vehe- 
ment. The irregular redness of the conjunctiva be- 
comes more saturated; the bundle-form blood-vessels 
run out from the corners of the eye to the limbus of 
the cornea; formation of small blisters (phlyctenu- 
lae ) filled with mattery fluid on the limbus and on 
the cornea itself; the cornea becomes gray, cloudy; 
fever is most always with it. 
Therap.'. Dark room; laxative; cleanness; fresh 
air; light, strengthening diet; application of argent, 
nitr. solution; vesicants behind the ear.

Scrophulous Inflamation. 
1. The conjunctiva is 
red only on places. The 
blood-vessels take their 
cours e bundle-form 
pressed together, 
2. Sharp, caustic, ser- 
ous secretion. 
3. Unprop ortional 
photophobia. 
4. Exacerbation in the 
daytime, remission even- 
ing and night. 
Catarrhalic Inflamation. 
1. The conjunctiva is 
equally reddened. The 
blood-vessels are equal 
and take a parallel 
course. 
2. Mild, mattery se- 
cretion. 
3. Photophobia and 
inflamation answer the 
symptoms. 
4. Exacerbation even- 
ing and night, remission 
in the day-time. 
8. Conjunctivitis Catarrhalis. Catarrhalische Augen- 
Entzuendung. 
Symptoms-. Burning; itching; the conjunctiva pal- 
pebralis is red along the edge of the eye-lid and in 
the corners; the secretion of the meiboms gland is re- 
duced, but the tear-secretion increased. In a short 
time the tears do not run so much, but a thin slime 254 
appears and later becomes thicker and sticky. Re- 
mission in the morning and exacerbation in the even- 
ing of all the symptoms. If the inflamation becomes 
vehement, the photophobia, burning and scraping 
feeling increase. 
Therap.: Protect the healthy eye with plaster; 
cleanness; cold compresses; blister behind the ear; 
application of argent, nitr. solution and neutralisa- 
tion with salt-water; application of Plumb acetic. 
g. Ophthalmia Neanotorum. 
Symptoms: Swelling and redness of the edges of 
the lids; swelling of the upper-lids; purulent secre- 
tion; red conjunctiva; photophobia; the cornea is 
clear, but later becomes cloudy and by opening the 
lids a thick matter runs out. In this state ulcers of 
the cornea often appear. Pever; restlessness and 
wasting. 
Therap. Cleanness; wash the hands well before 
touching the eyes and again after; laxative; pure, 
fresh air; cold compresses of Plumb, acetic, solution. 
Argent, nitr. application and neutralisation with 
salt-water (but not when the conjunctiva or the mat- 
ter is bloody), then only clean and make an applica- 
tion of a little Unguent, hydrarg. oxydat. fiav. once 
daily in the eyes. After the matter is just milky,

For the wasting: Ol. j ecoris aselli. 
io. Conjunctivitis Gonorrhoiea. 
The primary seat of the inflamation is the conjunc- 
tiva, secondary it goes to the cornea and iris. 
Symptoms: Itching and burning in the eye; red- 
ness of the conjunctiva sclerotica, which very soon 
swells to a violet-red around the cornea and forms a 
regular rampart around it (often the whole cornea 
is covered from it); swelling of the lids, especially 255 
the upper and a yellowish slime (gonorrhoea ana- 
logue) runs out; pain and photophobia; in a short 
time the inflamation reaches the cornea and iris. 
The cornea becomes cloudy and the pain in the eye 
and head increases. Fever and delirium with the 
appearance of general Ophthalmitis. 
Therap.: Strict antiphlogistic; set aside the gon- 
orrhoea treatment; light diet; dark room; cold com- 
presses: the patient must lie in bed; leeches on the 
temple; vesicants behind the ears; laxative of Magn. 
sulphuric. Further treatment see Ophthalmia neon- 
atorum. . 
ii. Ophthalmitis Diphtheritica, 
Symptoms: Redness and swelling of the lids and 
they feel hot and hard; the upper-lid is the most swol- 
len and hangs down; vehement pain; thin, grayish, 
watery secretion: gray spots on the inside of the lids: 
ulceration of the cornea. , 
Therap.-. Deep incision in the conjunctiva; ice 
compresses: application of argent, nitric.; bed-rest; 
dark room; cleanness; protection for the healthy eye, 
desinficient wash of sublimat. corrosiv. 
12. Chemosis. Anschwellung der Conjunctiva. 
Symptoms.: Serous exsudat; blister-form, promi- 
nent swelling of the conjunctiva sclerotica around 
the cornea, always as a symptom of vehement infla- 
amation (especially by catarrhalic ophthalmia and 
ophthal. gonorrhoica.) 
Therap.: Scarification of the conjunctiva; cold 
water or Plumb, acetic, compresses.

13. Pterygium. Fluegelfell. 
Symptoms-. Redness; thickening of a three-corner- 
ed piece on the conjunctiva with its course toward 
the cornea. 
Therap.: Excision through the conjunctiva (from 
the point near the base), sew the conjunctiva togeth- 
er with two or three stitches and let the pterygium 
lie loose, it will shrink together. Bandage must be 
renewed daily for 5-6 days, then the stitches can be 
taken out and the following drops put in.

14- Keratitis. Entzuendung der Hornhaut. 
Symptoms: Around the cornea formation of a fine 
blood-vessel ring from which (sometimes) single 
blood-vessels run over the cornea. It soon becomes 
a gray-cloudy appearance in-consequence of the ex- 
südat. Everything appears cloudy to the patient. 
If the inflamation is only on the cornea then it is 
painless. Keratitis parenchymatous, traumatica- 
and suppurativa are painful. 
Therap.: Strict antiphlogistic as by conjunctivi- 
tis. The other kerat. must be treated symptomati- 
cally. 
By ulceration of the cornea it is necessary to re- 
duce the intraocular pressure with Esserin, sulphur, 
dropped in 2-3 times daily. Atropin must not be 
used. Apply warm cataplasm. 
By appearance of hypopyon-. Paracentesis must be 
made. For further treatment see Ulcus cornea. 
15. Ulcers of the Cornea. Hornhaut-geschwuere. 
Ulcus cornea is formed from other diseases of the 
eye-ball and is very different. 
1. Ulcus-erosionis. 2. Ulcus-resorptionis. 3. 
Ulcus-purulentii. 
Therap.-. Removal of the cause. 
Inflamation-. Beeches; cold compresses; laxative; 
adstringentia. Avoid plumb, acet. If the ulcer 
threatens to perforate, an early opening is necessary; 
apply warm compresses. Good, strengthening diet. 
Ulcus cornea serpens is an ulcer that goes over the 
whole cornea (generally starting from the center). 
Hypopyon is mostly combined with it. 
Therap.: By ulcerated inflamation of the cornea: 
Atropin and lukewarm compresses changed with an 
antiseptic pressure-bandage and (often) sublimat so- 
lution 1: 10.000. Aq. chlori or acid borax, solution. 
By much pain-. Morph, hypodermic and narcotics. 
If the process is from conjunctival-disease, then that 
must be treated. Esserin when necessary. If the 
ulcer threatens to perforate the cornea, it must be 
artificially opened with an incision through the 
whole ulcer. This is very important by Ulcus cornea 
serpens (Seamisch, Graefe). 
r6. Keratitis Pannosa. Augenfell. 
Symptoms'. Vehement pain; the corneal-blood vessels 
are strongly filled and red; the whole cornea has a 
red appearance; serous exsudation; feeling as if 
strange bodies were in the eye; photophobia; flowing 
of tears; cloudy sight. 257 
Therap.'. Remove the cause; leeches; on the temple; 
blister behind the ears, scarification of the blood-ves- 
sels around the cornea in the conjunctiva; atropin.

ip Keratitis Traumatica. Durch Fremdkoerper. 
1. Perforation of the cornea causes the Aqua hum- 
orus to run out and often prolapse of the Iris. It is 
very dangerous when the cornea is perforated with 
the sclera and the corpus ciliaris (Iridocyclitis). 
2. Burning the cornea with melted metal or chem- 
ic effective material (mineral-acids, unslacked lime 
etc.) is very dangerous and can cause panophthal- 
itis. 
3. Scars of the cornea, especially those from 
trauma (even if very small) have inclination to re- 
peated inflamation. By scars the appearance of ir- 
ritation is very vehement. 
Symptoms'. Swelling of the lids; flowing of tears; 
pain in the eye; photophobia; myosis; injection of the 
conjunctiva bulbi. 
Therap-.' By strange bodies in the eye: removal of 
the same, the best is with a flat cataract-needle (drop 
in coccaine before), after removing the body drop in 
Atropin solut. gr. 1.: dr. 2. Aq. and bandage the eye. 
When the body has gone through the cornea into the 
anterior chamber, an incision must be made in the 
cornea and take it (strange body) out with a pincette 
or electro-magnet. Sometimes it is necessary to make 
the Iridectomy or the Iridotomy. 
By perforated injuries a compressive bandage must 
be laid on quickly; rest. 
To prevent adhaesion of the Iris'. Drop in Esserin 
sulphur or pilocarpin muriat. 1 per cent. 
By prolapsus iridis-. The reposition must be made 
with soft rubbing with the upper-lid and then drop in 
esserin again. If it is impossible to make the repo- 
sition, the prolapse must be cut off with a scissors and 
a compressive-bandage laid on. A prolapse of 24 
hours standing, cannot and must not be removed 
again, it would cause ulcerated inflamation. 
18. Iritis. Entzuendzmg der Regenbogenhaut. 
Symptoms-. The patient feels lancing pain in the 258 
depth of the eye; photophobia and running of tears; 
the pupil is contracted and immovable. Under in- 
creasing vehement pain in forehead and temple, the 
iris changes its color so, that the light iris appears 
greenish and the dark iris reddish colored. The sight 
is weak, often almost entirely gone- If the inflama- 
tion goes to the corpus ciliaris, there is a bluish blood- 
vessel ring around the cornea noticeable and the pupil 
is oval. Fever is always present by acute iritis. 
Trauma, syphilis or strong light are generally the 
cause. 
Therap.-. Strict antiphlogistic; avoid all irritation 
of light from both eyes; the patient should lie in bed; 
Emplastr. cantharid. behind the ears or leeches on 
the temple; laxative and diaphoretica (the best is 
Pilocarp. mur. gr. hypodermic twice a week); 
light diet. Adhaesion of the Iris must be prevented. 
For the Pain-. Antikam. or morph, sulphur., and 
hang warm flannel over the eye. Warm applications 
of plumb, acet, and hyoscyam. can be made.

icy Scleritis. Entzuendung der Sclera. 
Symptoms-. In the white of the eye are fine, pale 
rosy-red blood-vessels running parallel to the cornea 
and surround the same in ring form. These arteries 
are not movable, lie deeper than the conjunctiva, 
but not as deep as the same do by Kyklitis (which is 
easily told wilh the Eoupe). Vehement pain in the 
cavity of the eye-ball and forehead; combined with 
photophobia. 
Therdp.: Strict antiphlogistic; light diet; avoid 
light. Laxative. Morph, hypodermic. See Iritis. 
20. Kyklitis. Entzuendung des Ciliarkoerpers. 
Symptoms: The subjective symptoms are not con- 259 
stant, sometimes photophobia and pain, sometimes 
both are absent. A constant symptom is the intens- 
ive red ring around the cornea. If the inflamation 
limited to only one part of the corpus ciliaris, the ring; 
is only partially around. When the inflamation 
goes to the iris, chorioidea and cornea, the symptoms 
of iritis, chorioideitis and keratitis predominate. 
The ring is characteristic. 
Therap.'. See scleritis. 
21. Chorioideitis. Entzuendung der Chorioidea. 
Symptoms: In the beginning feeling of pressure 
and fullness of the bulbus, which soon comes to 
knocking pain, seeing sparks and difficult movement 
of the bulbus. Photophobia and very weak sight. 
The sclerotica is pale red; the iris is indolent in its 
movement. If the corpus ciliaris is inflamed, the ky- 
klitis-ring is present and the pupil is formed angu- 
lar. If the background of the chorioidea is the most 
inflamed, we can see by the horizontally drawn pu- 
pil, a gray cloudiness in the bottom of the eye. By 
the acute course the symptoms are vehement with 
fever, while by the chronic they are of a symptomat- 
ic nature. 
Therap.-. Beeches on the temple; blister behind the 
ears. Calomel internally. See iritis. 
The patient should lie in bed in a dark room. The 
application of leeches must be repeated at least once 
a week. Mercur treatment. To improve the sight: 
Strychnine hypodermic. If (after the inflamation is 
gone) there is cloudiness back of the corpus vitre, 
diaphoretica with Pilocarp. muriat. gr. one sixth 
daily and Kal. jodat. internally.

22. Hyalitis. Entztiendung des Glaskoerpers. 
This comes from trauma, from operation or strange 
bodies flying in the eye-ball. 
Therap.-. The same as of panophthalmitis; if a 
strange body is in the eye-ball (even if it does not 
cause any pain), it must be extracted, while lodging 
there without pain is no security against further in- 
flamation. The sclera-incision must be made par- 
ticularly over the seat of the strange body. 
23. Retinitis. Entzuendung der Retina. 
Symptoms.-. Vehement pain in the depth of the 
eye; photophobia; the sight becomes cloudy; the lids 
are closed spasmodically, and the round pupil (by 
normal structure of the iris very small) often entirely 
closed and unmovable. The patient sees sparks; 
the pain increases; appearances of inflamation of the 
brain and vehement fever. The objective appear- 
ances are a weak redness of the conjunctiva sclero- 
tica and contraction of the pupil. 
The chronic form is more frequent. With diminu- 
tion of the sight, seeing sparks and photophobia ap- 
pear; the eye-lids close spasmodically by cantracted 
pupil; not much pain in the depth of the eye; the 
bulbus has an unusual gloss and very sensitive by 
touching. Eater the pupil dilates, and when the 
sight is gone there is a dirty-gray cloudiness in the 
bottom of the eye. 
Therap.: Dark room; application of leeches on the 
temple; vesicants on the back of the neck and behind 
the ears. Internally: calomel with belladonn; light 
diet; laxative.

24. Panophthalmitis. Allgemeine Augapfel-entzuen- 
dung. 
Symptoms: Vehement pain in the bulbus and in 
that side of the head; the conjunctiva becomes red 
and swells so as to form a wall around the cornea 
(often almost covers the same); the cornea is cloudy; 
the iris is changed in color and is swollen; the pupil 
is contracted and the sight weak, diminished or gone; 
appearances of flimmer or spark seeing; the eye-lids 
are red, swollen and close spasmodically. With ter- 
rible pain the symptoms increase; the chemosis be- 
comes so great that the eyelids can not close any 
more and the bulbus swells (Exophthalmus). Ve- 
hement fever and the inflamation goes to the brain; 
delirium. 
Therap.: Strict antiphlogisic; leeches in great 
numbers on the temple; Internally: calomel changed 
with magn. sulphuric.; cold water cloths over the eye 
and head. If it comes to suppuration, the cold com- 
presses must be changed to warm compress, of hyos- 
cyam. The hypopyon must be opened and warm, dry 
compresses continued. 
Internally. Chinin, or cinchon. with Acid, sul- 
phuric.; arnica. Mercur ointment in the eyebrow. 
See retinitis. 
25. Hypopyon. Eiterauge. 
Symptoms'. Yellow fluid with horizontal flat which 
moves by movement of the head, in the anterior 
chamber of the eye. 
Therap.: Paracentesis through the cornea; laxa- 
tive of calomel, magn. sulphuric.; fomentation of Fol. 
malviae or cicuta.

is dark red and most always bleeds by touching. By 
longer standing ulcers of the cornea will be found. 
Therap.: Cleanness; cleanse with warm Acid, 
boraxic. water and absorb, cotton. When bleeding 
easily, application of a little ointment (No. 1.), if not 
application of Argt. nitr. (No. 2.) and application of 
No. 1. over the whole lids. Good nourishment.

Symptoms'. In the corner of the eye-lid is a (some- 
times large) swelling, by pressure of the same a thick 
slime runs out. That side of the nose is dry. 
Therap.: With a fine knife stick in the Puncta 
lacrymalis, go horizontally forward to the nasal- 
bone, where the canal is, split the lid a little inward 
to the nose canal and go vertically downward, (it 
bleeds some at the nose) take the Bowman's probe 
and follow the same direction as the knife and leave 
it in for an hour or two. This must be repeated daily, 
and by and by slowly increase the numbers to the 
last (No. 8.). Continue this for 3-4 weeks (too early 
stopping would close it up again). Further I will 
warn not to inject any medicated water before the 
second week (the colleague who reads this knows 
what I mean and that I am right), the litis would 
swell and the sight could 6e ruined. 
28. Cataract. Staar. 
1. Cataracta capsularis. Capselstaar. 
2. Cataracta lentis et capsulae. Truebung der 
Binse und Binsenkapsel. Grauer Staar. 
3. Cataracta cäpsulo-lenticularis. Kapsellinsen 
staar. 263 
1. Cataracta capsularis is an unequal saturated 
cloudiness close behind the pupil. The color is gray- 
ish white, shiny and often there are different figures 
on the surface of the capsule. The sicht is cone. 
2. Cataracta lenticularis: In the middle is a very 
small, strongly saturated cloudiness which becomes 
dim toward the peripheria. The patient can see 
pretty good yet by weak light and from the side. 
Even later the strongest cloudiness is in the center. 
3. Cataracta capsulo-lenticularis is the common 
form where the capsule and lens are both clouded at 
the same time and the symptoms of both of the above 
combined with it. 
Therap.'. Operation: With the point of a small V. 
Graefe's knife go in on one side of the limbus of the 
cornea and out of the other (not the half of the cor- 
nea), go down or upward by holding the knife good 
horizontally to make a flap, then with the scarifica- 
tor make some scarifications in the capsule (to 
break the same). By soft pressing up or downward 
with the spoon the lens will follow easily. After 
this act the lids will be closed for a few minutes, 
then easily raised. Be careful that no rests of the 
capsule are left behind the cornea in the anterior 
chamber. Wash the eye with sublimat corrosiv. 1: 
10,000 put iodoform gauze over, then absorb, cotton 
and bandage with flannel. This bandage I change 
in 10-12 hours and (if no pain exists) let it lay for 24 
hours. After 2-3 days I begin to drop in 2 drops of 
atropin gr. l:dr. 3, and dress it twice daily. Should 
the patient complain of pain, loosen the bandage and 
see if any sign of panophthalmitis is present, if so, 
apply artificial leeches on the temple, rub Arid's 
ointment in the eyebrowand give a dose of sulphunal 
g-r. 30. or Morph, hypodermic. Clean the eye with 
sublimat. solut. and dress it 2-3 times daily. The pa- 
tient must lie quiet on the back in bed and a guard 
must be by him day and night, so that he does not 
hurt himself. This I keep up for 6-12 days, then I let 
the pat. go with dark smoke glasses. For the night 
apply the bandage again for 3-4 weeks as a guard. 
After 6 weeks I test the eyes for glasses to set an 
artificial lens outside. 
Remarks: I drop cocaine in the eye every 3 min- 
utes 3 times, then wash the eyeball and surrounding 
with subl. solut. or acid borax. 4 per cent and then I 
operate. The solution must be distilled water one- 
half and the other subl. solut. 1 : 10,000. This keeps 
it free from germs. The day before the operation I 264 
give the patient a physic, so that the bowels will be 
quiet for 3-4 days. Do not allow pressing by stool 
even afterwards. 
Cataract. 
Grayish cloudiness be- 
hind the pupil. 
Cloudiness shows con- 
vex form. 
Pupil is movable, most- 
ly round and not dilated. 
The loss of sight is ac- 
cording to the cloudiness. 
Seeing is better by 
cloudy days and weak 
lamp-light. 
Amaurosis. 
Dirty, greenish cloudi- 
ness deep behind the pu- 
pil in the fundus of the 
eye. 
Cloudiness shows con- 
cave form. 
Pupil is not movable 
and constantly dilated. 
In accordance to the 
small cloudiness the fo- 
cus has very much de- 
creased. 
Appearances of flim- 
mer and sparks of differ- 
ent colors; seeing is bet- 
ter by light and clear 
days. 
Prognosis is better by the even sighted defect than 
by the crosswise. 
29. Amaurosis. Schwarzer Staar. 
Amblyopia: Uncomplete Amaurosis. 
Amaurosis Completa: Complete Amaurosis. 
Symptoms ; The patient complains of plenty of 
symptoms. The sight becomes dimished, everything 
seems cloudy, crooked, smaller or larger than they 
are (even by straining to see). 
The patient sees things only half or double, and 
there are appearances of gnats or different colored 
sparks; by-clear weather the sight is better than by 
cloudy; seldom photophobia. In the morning the 
patient sees better (while the eyes have been rest- 
ing.) 
Therap.: Treatment for the rheumatism and gout,- 
dyscrasia,-haemorrhoids and- menstruation disturb- 
ances (if any of them are present). Deeches on the

Cephalaea. Headache. Kopfschmerz. 
There are many different forms of headache, some- 
times slight, sometimes vehement. 
i. According to the place: By sickness of the Per- 
icranium, the Duramater; the Ärachnoidea, the Cere- 
bellum, the Pons, the Septum peliucidum. 
2. According to the form of sickness-. By nervous 
irritation of the brain; by anaemic, irritable individ- 
uals; by acute hyperaemia, by meningeal-exsudation, 
by quick-growing pacchionian bodies, by red soften- 
ing, by tumors (mostly of the sarcomatous kind); by 
tuberkel and syphilitic affection. 
It can be said that diseases of the brain and its 
membrane can grow very slowly, without pain in the 
beginning, and often there is pain and none of these 
organs are affected, and comes only from cold in the 
stomache. 
1. The headache over the whole head comes most- 
ly from hyperaemia, diffuse inflamation, exsudation, 
very large tumors and often from affections which 
have their seat in the brain. 
2. The numb, pressing pain (rather more of a dull 
one) can appear by all forms of sickness, ac- 
company it during the whole time, or appear 
in the beginnning and during the introduc- 
tory process (by irritation of the brain, mania, 
inflamation of the brain, tuberculosis, meningitis, 
hydrocephalus, softening of the brain and apoplexia) 
or by the irritative form passing over to the appear- 
ances of pressure and torpor. 
3. The knocking pain is found by hyperaemia, 
aneurysma and other kinds of tumors of the brain, 
also by anaemia and hysteria; the lancing pain is by 
meningitis, brain-carcinoma. 
4. The drawing pain is no certainty for a diagno- 
sis. 
5. The boring pain is by nervous attacks, also by 
difficult organic diseases of the skull and brain (infla-. 
mation, softening, hydrocephalus, carcinoma). 
The question for the diagnosis is if the headache 
comes from hyperaemia, anaemia or irritation of the 
brain, 
1. The headache which begins and increases by 
horizontal position is from hyperaemia of the brain 
and all with such combined conditions. 
2. By headache which increases by upright posi- 
tion expect brain-anaemia and with it combined con- 
ditions (large tumors). 
3. If the headache increases from exertion or from 
regular activity of the brain it comes from cerebral- 271 
irritation; but by many nervous conditions (especial- 
ly by the hysteric form) the headache increases the 
most by the inactivity of the brain. 
4. The headache which appears by empty stom- 
ache and disappears after eating and drinking shows 
anaemia. That which appears after meals and a 
regular quantity of of alcoholic drinks shows hyper- 
aemia of the brain. Often the headache increases 
from higher degrees of warmth or coldness of the 
surrounding atmosphere. When a regular tempera- 
ture increases the headache there is hyperaemia of 
the brain. In such cases where the chiasma or opti- 
cus direct is injured from tumors, extravasat or ex- 
sudat, blindness or weak eyes are never absent. The 
blindness is on one or both sides, even if the difficul- 
ty is only on one hemisphere of the brain. Anaes- 
thesia of the sight comes from many different dis- 
turbances: by affection of the corpora quadrigemina, 
crura cerebri, cerebellum, corpus callosum, fornix and 
septum, especially by affection of the middle or back 
lobus of the cerebrum (sometimes by sickness of all 
these parts the sight-anomaly is absent off and on). 
Anaesthesia of the hear-organs occurs the oftenest 
by affection in the region of the middle lobus of the 
cerebrum and the fore part of the cerebellum, indeed 
(when one-sided), by the sickness of the answer- 
able brain-hemisphere. 
Therap.'. Avoid light, noise and heat. 
Indicated arc. Leeches or dry cupping on the lower 
extremities; cold compresses on the head; laxative of 
calomel and jalap.; clysma of cold water. Narcotica 
and their relations; nervina moshus; castorium; val- 
er.; asa foetida; galbanum. Pot. carbonic, and Aq.

Resorbentia-. Calomel; diuretica; iodin; fontanell; 
moxa. 
Tonics: Chinin; wine; iron. 
Symptomatical treatment is necessary in all cases. 
Chloroform friction; pressure bandage. The profit of 
the pressure-bandage is decisive after the application, 
if the patient does not like it he complains, on the 
other hand it gives the best relief. 
By symptoms of a tumor-. The trepanation should 
be made on the place where the pain is. This is the 
only remedy. Veneral excercises must be avoid- 
ed, although generally great irritation exists by such 
patients. 272 
A. Diagnostic Urin Test. 
1. The urin must be collected in a white, clean 
glass, well covered and measured how much made in 
24 hours. Normal about 1200-1800 Cem. 1 cubic-centi- 
meter=l gram. 1 gram=gr. 15., by less drinking 
1000-1400 gram., in one hour 60-75 resp. 50-60 Cem. 
2. For further examination the urin should be 
taken in large quantities. 
1 Test. With the urinometer for specific weight 
(normal 1018 to 1025). From the specific weight 
count (after the form from Trapp or Haeser) the 
contents of the solid ingredients, and multiply the 
last two numbers of the same with 2, 0 or 2, 33 (nor- 
mal about 40-60 grams from 1000). From the solid in- 
gredients about 24 come to the urea, 0, 3-0, 8 to the 
uric acid, 20-24 to the inorganic salts, of which the 
half are chloride. 
2. The color after Vogel's scala (1-2 pale: color- 
less to straw-yellow, 3-4 normal colored: gold-color to 
dark yellow, 4-5 high colored reddish yellow to red, 
7-9 dark:brown to blackish). No. 1 contains to 1000 
parts about 1 part every following No. always double 
that of the one before (No. 2-2, No. 4-8, No. 7-64, No. 
9-256 per ct. 
3. On its clearness and reaction on litmus-paper: 
a. Sour (blue litmus paper becomes red). 
b. Sour, sedimentous. 
c. Neutral (does not color red litmus-paper blue, 
or blue litmus-paper red). 
d. Alkalic (blues red litmus-paper). 
The urin having sediment must be separated from 
(microscopic to examine) the same through decanta- 
tion and filtration, and examine the clear urin furth- 
er. 
If the weakly reddened litmus becomes blue again 
when dry, the acid was free carbonic acid; and if the 
blued litmus-paper becomes red again when dry, then 
the alcalence is from carbonic acid, ammoniac, but if 
it stays blue from fixed alkali. 274

11. S1 im e, 
Malter. Fibrin 
Mostly in the sedi- 
ments. By matter and fi- 
brin the urin always con- 
tains albumen, by fibrin 
it often contains blood 
too. 
Liquid fibrin forms the 
coaguable urin, that 
after hours makes the 
eoagula-sediment on the 
bottom, or turns the 
whole urin into a jelly. 
Fibrin dissolves in Aq 
nitric. 
In matter-containing, 
alkalic urin a jelly-mass 
is formed through the in- 
fluence of the developed 
Ammonium carbonicum, 
which is easily held for 
slime.

2. The Urin Reacts Alcalic. 286 
Practical Significance of the Examination of Unn 
for the Diagnosis and Prognosis. 
i. Color of the urin (see A, u, 2.) 
A. 1. The pale urin is (with the exception of the 
diabetic) poor in solid ingredients, urin-stuff and 
color stuff. It is present: a) as urina potus healthy 
person, b) in chronic sicknessess (anaemia; chloro- 
sis, diabetes), c) in reconvalescence after difficult 
acute sicknessess. 
Is not by any acute sickness. By longer duration 
it is a sign of anaemia and tonic and iron should be 
given. 
2. The normal colored shuts out only the sickness- 
ess, which urin sub 1, 3 and 4 stipulate. 
3. The high colored is present: a) urina chyli 
healthy person, by much sweating, not much drink- 
ing, b) in feverish sicknessess (mostly hectic fevers); 
important for judgment of the vehemence in the 
feverish increase of the material change. 
4. The dark urin indicates mostly to (through ex- 
amination determined) abnormal mixture of pig- 
ment.- 
B. Abnormal color of the urin (see bile, blood and 
urophaein). 
1. Blood (with or without blood-corpuscula): conies: 
a) by a healthy person during menstruation and 
child-bed, b) by gonorrhoea, hyperaemia, ulcers, can- 
cers and hemorroids of the bladder, c) by Morbus 
Brightii, d) by hemorrhage of the kidneys, urethri 
(stones), e) by general dissolution of the blood (scor- 
but, typhus, putrid fevers, malignant intermittent, 
f) by arsenic-poisoning. 
The blood should be examined under the micro- 
scope for pigment. 
2. Biliphaein: a) seldom by healthy people in hot 
weather, b) by icterus. 
3. Indican (uroxanthin) and decomposition pro- 
ducts (uroglaucin and urrhodin): (where urophaein 
is alasent, lemon-colored), are as a rule the excitation 
of the nerve-system, especially the spinal marrow 
(Heller); increased by urin spastica, after onania, by 
exertion during coitus, by irritation of the urinary- 
organs ( nephritis), morb. brightii), typhus, intermit- 
tent, spinal-affection, uraemia, cholera. After tak- 
ing tannin in moderate quantities the urin becomes 
pigmentless (Schottin ). 
4. Melanog.: Characteristic for pigment-cancer, 
diagnostic important for the same in inner organs, 
as the liver. 287 
5. Casual colorstuff: from food, drinks, medicine; 
urin brownish to deep blood-red, simular colouring 
ad 1 and 2.- 
Important, especially for military physicians: Pot. 
picronitricum (used for simulated chronic icterus) 
rhei, santonin, sennae.- 
In the urin are found colorstuff from indigo (?), 
rubiae (madder), rhei, kreosot, gummi gutti, (carbol 
acid-bandage), campechen-wood, santonin, beets, 
sennae, Pot. picronitr.; are not found: coccus-red, 
litmus, sap-green, alcanna. 
2. Smell of the Urin: 
The normal smells peculiar aromatic. From the 
pathologic altered is the so called urinous (through 
coalsour-ammoniac), is important and indicates blad- 
der diseases or the use of unclean catheters (urin re- 
acts alcalic, the red litmus-paper which become blue, 
after drying gets red again). Also food, drinks and 
medicine give smell-stuff to the urin, as (garlic, as- 
paragras, roast hare, crocus, cubeben, teaebinth, asae 
foetid, castoreum, balsm. copaiv., valerian;-but not: 
camphor, moshus, aether, alcohol). 
y. Clearness of the Urin: The normal is clear, or 
shows very little cloudiness (nubecula); distinct cloud- 
iness in fresh urin indicates abnorm contents; also 
the sediments (if they do not come from the use of 
different medicines, z. B. sarsaparilla or from over- 
work (see art. 7. the sediments.) 
4. Specific weight (see A, I. z): Reduced by chlor- 
osis, hydraemia, chronic nerve diseases; increased 
(see I, A, 3) by acute fever sicknessess, rheumatism of 
the joints, diabetes. Judge the proportion according 
to the quantity: little urin with increased specific 
weight indicates abstinence from drinking, other 
watery secretion, or vehement sickness; much urin 
with little specific weight indicates plentiful drink- 
ing, reducement of hydrops; quantity reduced, speci- 
cific weight small, indicates uraemia, morbus bright- 
ii; quantity increased (3000-21000 grm.) oz. 94-655, 
specific weight high (1025-1070 gr.): diabetes melli- 
tus. 
5. Reaction (see A, I, y.). 
/. Sour: Normal; strong sour favors formation of 
sediments and concrements, irritates the kidneys and 
urinary ducts. Increased acid (see B, 7) by typhus 
and rheumatic fevers (by the latter the degree of acid 
in direct proportion to the fever and pain). Also by 
asthma, emphysema, pneumonia and pleuritis are 
high degrees of acid. 
2. Neutral: Mostly normal: Unclean glasses to 
collect the urin; the use of alkalies, vegetable diet. 288 
3- Alcalic: Bong standing urin always. To dis- 
tinguish if fresh urin is alcalic, or old (of 24 hours). 
Causes: Unclean glasses for collection, sicknessess 
of the sexual organs (gonorrhoea, child-bed); the use 
of alkali containing carbonate and vegetable acid; 
vegetable diet without animal food (vegeterian); if in 
the bladder: unclean catheter, long holding back of 
the urin etc.; weakness of the nerve system, sick- 
nessess of the brain, irritation of the urinary or- 
gans. 
When the urin is only periodically neutral or alcalic 
(after eating, after certain food or single days) it is 
without significance, but by longer duration the cause 
must be ascertained, and its resp. treatment. By 
weakness: Meat, iron, tonic etc. By alcalic urin 
through irritation of the urinary duct (from kidney 
sand, in the beginning sour) it would be wrong to 
give acids; here belong demulcentia-remedies, car- 
bonic acid-alkali, Pot. acet.- 
4. Amphoter (Bamberger) the upper part is alcalic 
and the lower part sour, also colors blue litmus-paper 
red, and red (litmus-paper) blue; comes through for- 
mation of ammoniac from decomposed urea, in the 
beginning from sour phosphoric soda. 
6. Contents op Urin. 
A. Normal-. 
1. Urea (B, z): Reduced by cholera, morb. 
brightii, neurosis, neuralgia, anaemia, paralysis, 
nephritis, hectic, spasms, tuberculosis of the kidneys, 
and when decomposition of the same in carbon-acid.- 
ammoniac appears in the Organismus, so by cystitis 
and septic sicknessess. 
Increased: By meningitis (not as much as by ty- 
phus, important for different diagnosis), pneumonia, 
pleuritis, tuberculosis acuta, intermittent, rheuma- 
tism with endocarditis, intestinal catarrh, typhus 
(quantity gets reduced by every week; reduced early 
is favorable for prognosis (Moos), pyaemia. 
2. Uric acid-, increased-. By inflamation, acute 
rheumatism in the state congestion, but often reduc- 
ed in the state of resorption, 
Reduced-. By haemorrhagias, chlorosis, inactive 
nourishment process, chronic rheumatism, gout, par- 
aphlegia, chronic spinal and kidney affections. 
3. Earth-phosphate: increased-. By softening of 
the bones, meningitis acute; reduced by typhus. 
4. Sulphate (B, 2): increased-. By sicknessess of in- 
flamation; reduced: chlorosis, diseases of the nerves. 
5. Chloride: reduced-. In. the first state of inflam- 
atory sicknessess, strong secretion and exsudation, 
by typhus; absent in cholera. The reappearance is 289 
pneumonia, by pleuritis as well as by typhus a favor- 
able sign, while the decrease or increase is nearly 
constant with the rise or diminution of the sickness. 
B. Abnormalstuff-. 
a. Pathologic. 
1) Albumen (see 1, 2) indicates to: 
a. Abundant admixture of sperma; 
b. Irritation and hyperaemia of the kidneys, stag- 
nation of the blood in the kidney-veins or of the vein 
cava inferior, often with urin-cylinders. Seldom 
with degenerative nephritis (Beckman): diuretica 
(cantharides), acid, carbol bandage (black urin), dia- 
betis, organic diseases of the heart, tuberculosis of 
the lungs, pregnancy, eclampsia, in the beginning of 
acute sicknessess, by scarlatina (in the state of 
quamationis); by cholera; by cystitis, catarrh of the 
kidneys, pyelitis calculosis, prostatitis, chronic gon- 
orrhoea. 
c. Alteration in the stuff-change of the blood 
(hydraemia, hypalbuminosis); 
d. Organic sickness of the kidney-parenchyms 
with material alteration (morb. brightii, amyloid 
degeneration). The diagnosis becomes sure, when 
fibrin-cylinders or epithel of the urin-canals are found 
at the same time, probable by contemporary hydrops, 
or high grade and long duration (weeks and months) 
of albuminuria, (Peculiar dishumor of the patient 
points to the beginning of uraemic appearances. 
Fenger.) 
e. In company of chronic sicknessess of the bones, 
especially such with long lasting ulceration. Quite 
often parenchymatous appears with fatty or amyloid 
degeneration, always with albuminuria, and neces- 
sitates the removal of the diseased bone, if the de- 
generation of the kidneys has not already reached in- 
curable high grade (C. O. Weber). 
2) Fat (B, 12), if not from unclean bottles, indi- 
to: cates 
a. Fatty degeneration of the kidneys, fat meta- 
morphosis of the secretion cells or of exsudat in the 
kidneys (amyloid degeneration of the kidneys, morb. 
brightii, acute poisoning from phosphor); or to 
b. Fatty degeneration of the epithelial cells of the 
ureter and bladder; or to 
c. Blood containing enormous fat (chylosus of the 
urin, with fibrin and albumen). 
j. Bile acids: Mostly not present by icterus and 
liver diseases, shows carbonic acid in the urin of 290 
such blood diseases in which the normal exchange of 
the bile acids in the blood is hindered or limited (Vo- 
gel). 
4. Unn Sugar ( /1, /); If the urin contains abun- 
dant quantities (1-9 pCt.) and constantly (perhaps by 
empty stomache free at times), this with other signs 
assures the diagnosis: diabetes mellitus.- In rare 
cases by injuries of the brain, and here (according 
to circumstances) likewise favorable prognosis. Trac- 
es, or at times larger quantities of sugar are some- 
times found by healthy people; by disturbances of 
the brain function, by irritation of the medulla ob- 
longata, by reduced respiration and admittance of 
oxygen, by diminution of the alkali in the blood (tu- 
berculosis etc.) 
5. Hy dro sulphurati (11, 4) by appearance of sewer- 
gas poison from sulphur-ammoniutn, from out of the 
intestines in the blood and urin, decomposition of in- 
testines and bladder (Betz: hydrothion-ammonaemia,) 
by variola, tuberculosis. 
6. Fibrin (S. 14) mostly from the kidneys, but also 
from other parts of the ureter. 
7. Blood (I, B, 1) either ®nly thin haematoglobulin 
(haematin), or blood with more or less altered blood 
corpuscula, fibrin and albumen. 
8. Biliphaein (Z, B, 2}. 
9. Seldom-. Alkapton, inosit (diabetes, nephritis 
albuminosa, organic brain diseases), acid, lactic., 
acid, acet., acid, benzoic., leucin, allantoin, tyrosin 
(typhus, variola, acute atrophia of the liver), 
b. Casual (I. B. 5) from food, medicine, poison 
(lead copper, arsenic, vegetable alkaloid etc.) 
7. The Sediments \see the same). 
1) Uric acid and lithiate (sour uric acid natron, sour 
uric acid ammoniac, uric acid lime (A. 2). Impor- 
tant how large the quantity of urin.-■ 
By acute feverish sicknessess or feverish exacer- 
bation of chronic sicknessess mostly after the urin is 
made (sedimentum lateritium, clay color, red like 
brick, cinnamon color.) 
By healthy people after great bodily exertions, 
sweat, long walks, late hours, abundant food;-Sed- 
iment of clear uric acid, seldom (leukaemia); already 
present in fresh urin, indicates to uric acid diathese, 
gravel and formation of bladder-stones. 
2. Hippur-acid-, a. After eating fruit (bilberries), 
b. after taking of benzoic-acid, cinnamon acid, c. 
by patients beside uric acid by diabetes, chorea. 
3. Phosphate-. Often by chronic sicknessess and 
in alkalic urin; does not point to phosphoric diathese; 291 
present in fresh urin gives cause to fear there is for- 
mation of bladder-stones. 
Oxal-sour lime, from'. 
a. Food: sugar in abundance, wood sorrel, sorrel, 
tomatoes; 
b. Medicine: acid, oxalic, and oxalate, gentian, 
rhei, saponaria; 
c. The blood over-loaded with carbonic acid: a) 
from carbonate containing drinks (champagne, selter 
and soda-water) soda cicarbonic. and vegetable-sour 
alkalies; b) from disturbed respiration, stagnation 
of oxygen (chronic pleuritis, dyspepsia, tuberculosis); 
d. By pityriasis, affliction of the spinal marrow; 
spermatorrhoea, sub-acute rheumatism. 
Oxal-sour diathese brings danger from the forma- 
tion of urinary calculi (mulberry stones), poisonous 
effect on the intestines, heart and nerve system.-

by adding acid, acet., speak for simple catarrh, irreg- 
ular bodies, by adding acid. acet, with irregular 
granule-form, speak for difficult sickness. The mat- 
ter can come from abcess in the neighborhood of the 
urinary canal. 
8} Blood: (See B, i). 
9) a. Cancer: carcinoma, mostly from the bladder, 
more seldom from the kidneys (contemporary disturb- 
ances in the urin secretion), rectum-, vagina- and 
uterus cancer. Cancer of the bladder: mostly shag- 
gy cancer. 292 
b. Tuberkel-mass: tuberculosis of the slime mem- 
branes of the submucous texture of the bladder, uret- 
eren and caltcalices renalis (kidneys). 
10) Wrin-cylinder (see B, a, 1, b andd) originate in 
the urin canals, especially in the Bellini's tubes and 
in a certain measure, form casts of the same: Morb. 
brightii, 
a. Epithelial-hose indicates to desquamative ne- 
phritis. but can pass off again. 
b. and c. Granulated and hyaline kidney-cylinder, 
point to intensive sickness of the kidney parenchy- 
ma; the longer the duration and the larger the num- 
ber that appear, the more unfavorable is the progno- 
sis. 
11) Spermatozoiden: By male after polution, coi- 
tus, onania; by female (if not intentionally mixed 
with the urin) sure sign of cohabitation.- Immatur- 
ity by weakened polution, typhus (Clemens). 
12) Infusoria, bacteria: only torulaform (diabetes) 
as well as sarcina (by ailments of the spinal-marrow 
sarcinuria is constantly with albumen, phosphate 
and carbon acid ammoniac). 
13. Hair (Pilimictio) of cystin following the course 
of the urin into the urinary canal (by female); by 
trichiasis of the urinary canal. 
Chemical Examination of Drinking-water. 
/. Examination for Clearness-. Ob es rein und gesund. 
To a glass of water add a filtered solution of 5 gr. 
acid, tannic. 20 drops of aqua destill and 5 drops of 
alcohol to it, if no cloudiness follows in the next five 
hours, the water is good. 
To Determine the Hardness. Haerte-be Stimmung. 
Hard water in which calcium and magnesia are 
present: 
To 10 lbs. of water add 3 dr. of natrum carbonicum 
siccum, evaporate it to dryness, wash the evaporated 
remainder out well, dry and heat in the undesolved 
part. 1 gr. of this is as much as 1 grade of the whole 
hardness. 
To Determine the Temporary Hardness. 
1 lb. of water boiled and acid oxalic, solut. sc. 1: 
oz. x 6 aq, dropped to it, until one drop of this mix- 
ture makes a half drop of litmus-tincture red. 15 gr. 
of the oxal-acid solut. is as much as one-sixtieth cal- 
cium. 293 
2. Examination for Aqua Hydrosulphurata. Schwef- 
elwasserstoff. 
To smell will give cause for examination. Take a 
glass of the water and add some thin boiled starch, 
then add (shaking) Tinctr. iodine until it becomes 
a blue color and stays. 
5. Examination for Acid. Nitricum. Salpetersaeure. 
1 drop of water with 2 drops of saturated brucin 
solution and 6 drops of concentrated acid, sulphuri- 
cum placed in a white porcelain dish, by presence of 
acid, nitric, gives a yellow-red to high red color. 
q. Examination for Acid. Sulphuric. Schwefelsaeure. 
Take a quart of water and let it evaporate to half, 
make it sour with acid, muriat. and add hot solution 
of baryum chloratum, by the presence of sulphuric 
acid a sediment of sulphur-sour-barytes originates. 
j. Examination for Chloride. Chlorwasser. 
One-half to 2 ounces of water made sour with acid, 
nitric, and a few drops of Argent, nitric, fuscum- 
solut (1:20) added, gives a weak opalescent cloudiness 
or by stronger contents of chloride a distinct sedi- 
ment of chlor-silver. 
6. Examination for Organic Substances. Auf Or- 
ganische Substanzen. 
Evaporate a certain quantity of water until dry, 
heat this dry remainder and add ammonium carbon- 
icum, heat this once more and count the organic ma- 
terial from the loss of weight, or determinate the 
same with the deficiency of sour potash through tri- 
turation. 294 
General change of feeling; chills changing off with 
heat; palpitation of the heart; dizziness, headache; 
pain in the back; inclination to vomit; vomiting; out 
of humor; curious appetite for one thing or another. 
1. month. Non appearance of the menses; vagina 
and the labien are swollen and hot; there is slime in 
the oss of the uterus and it is no more crossways, 
but oval. 
2. month. More turgescence of the sexual parts; 
swelling of the breast^; dark ring around the nipples 
and the line alba darker. Uterus as large as a fist. 
3. month. Swelling of the abdomen; portio vagin- 
alis is higher and more backward; uterus as large as 
a child's head. 
4. month. Fundus of the uterus 2-3 fingers-breadth 
over the symphysis-pubis; uterus as large as a man's 
head; noise of the womb. 
5. month. Fundus reaching to the middle between 
the symphysis and the naval; movement of the foe- 
tus. 
6. month. Fundus reaches to the naval, the same 
is even. 
7. month. Fundus is 2-2 fingers-breadth over the 
naval; accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the breasts. 
By examination of the vagina ballotement of the 
foetus-head. 
8. month. Fundus in the middle between the naval 
and lower ribs; the portio vaginalis is shortened, 
9. month. Fundus reaches to the pit of the stom- 
ache; the abdomen is extended very much; portio va- 
ginalis directed more backward. 
10. month. The fundus sinks forward and the po- 
sition is the same as by the 8th. month; coniform 
prominence of the naval.
