TRANSLATORS  PREFACE.
With Dr. Scrmssler's permission I  have undertaken
the translation of his method of treating disease most
successfully  by means  of triturated Tissue Salts,—
in accordance with  the  latest  teachings of Physio-
logical Chemistry, termed by him more appropriately
Biochemistry.   This  method has been proved to  re-
store the lost or disturbed proper balance of Cell Salts.
Its publication in English will, I hope, make it known
to many to whom otherwise it might be unavailable.
    Biology,  Cellular Pathology,  Spectrum Analysis,
Minute Anatomy, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmacology,
and such kindred Sciences, have furnished  a  field of
research to this German physician.  Professional skill
and science  combined, have thus led to the elucidation
of this new system of Therapeutics.
    A Therapeutical Index has been added  by me to
the original, ako  a General Index  with  Reference
Table,  and  a Glossary for the  use  of the  general
reader.  The Therapeutical Index for the purpose of
giving a general resume of  diseases which  are histo-
pathologically alike.  The proper remedy is given at
the head of each section, twelve in number.
    Biochemistry is  clearly not Homoeopathy.   The
Homoeopaths have had 15 years to test and prove any
of  the Biochemic  Remedies, but have not been able
to  add one more to the list of their Materia Medica on
their principle  of  Similia,  as  the  Twelve Cell-Salts
possess no  homeopathicity, " Idem " is not  " Similia."
    The Biochemic Remedies, the natural constituents
of  the body, must be  accepted on  their own merits
and scientific basis as such.

PREFACE TO THE FIFTEENTH EDITION.
The words of Moleschott, cited in the Introduction,
induced  me  to make  a study  of the  chemico-
physiological effects of the Inorganic substances  in
the human organism.  In consequence of this study,
which I began 14 years ago, taking as the fundamental
basis the facts ascertained regarding the  chemistry  of
the Tissues, a Biochemic Therapy has been developed,
which I now present in the Fifteenth Edition.
  The  first Edition, which I published  in 1874, was
merely a sketch of  my Biochemic  Method of cure.
Each new Edition  has offered something more than
the preceding.

INTRODUCTION.
 Moleschott, Professor of Physiology at the University
 of Rome, says in his  work on " Vital Circulation ":
 (Kreislauf des Lebens).
   " The structure and vitality of the organs depend
 " upon the presence of the necessary quantities of the
 "" inorganic constituents.
   " On this fact is based the high estimation in which
 " of late years the subject of the relative proportions
 " of the inorganic substances to the individual parts of
 '• the body has been held.
   " This estimation neither proudly despises any fact,
 " nor  fosters,  on the other  hand, futile hopes; but
" promises both to Agriculture and Medicine a brilliant
 " future.
   " In the face of such positive facts, it can no longer
 " be denied that  the  substances which remain after
 " incineration or combustion of the tissues—the ashes
.<< —are as important and  essential to the inner com-
 " position, and  consequently to the  ' form-giving' and
 "kind-determining' basis  of the  tissues,  as  those
•" substances which are volatilized during combustion.
       A 
INTRODUCTION".
  " A glue-furnishing base and bone-earth are essential]
" constituents of bone.  Without either there can be
" no true bone; so also there can be no cartilage with-
" out cartilage-salt; nor blood without iron ; nor saliva
" without Potassium chloride.
  " Of earth and air man is made, and in  death he
" returns to air and ashes, that plant-life may in  new
<l forms develop new powers." 
    THE CONSTITUENT  PARTS OF  THE

              HUMAN  ORGANISM.
                    -----•+•----■

Blood consists of ivater, sugar, fat,  albuminous sub-
stances, besides  common  salt, Potassium  chloride,
Calcium fluoride, Silica,  Iron,1  Lime, Magnesia, Soda,
and  Potash ;  the latter  are  combined with  either
Phosphoric acid or Carbonic acid.
  In the blood-plasma the Sodium salts predominate,
and in the blood-corpuscles the Potash salts.
  Sugar, fat, and the albuminous substances, are the
so-called organic components;  water and the above-
named salts are  the  inorganic  components  of the
blood.
  Sugar  and  fat are composed of carbon, hydrogen,
and  oxygen.
  The substances of albumen  are carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur.
  The blood contains the material for all the tissues
of the body.   By means of the capillaries (channels
delicate as hairs) the arteries  are  connected with the
veins.  Through the walls of the capillaries a portion
of the blood-liquid  transudes continually  into  the
surrounding tissues  (transosmoses), these continue to
make good the losses which the tissues  have  suffered
by metamorphosis (vital  changes, transformations).
  Free Sulphur,  Carbon, or  Phosphorus, are  not
present in  the organism, but as integral parts of
organic combinations—Phosphorus is contained in the
lecithin and in the nuclei. The sulphur of the albumen
becomes oxidized by the oxygen of the  air breathed,
  1Manganese is not always, only occasionally present, therefore it
cannot be considered an essential constituent of the blood for cell-
formation. 
4       FORMATION OF TISSUE-CELLS.
 and is turned into sulphuric acid.  The  latter com-
 bines with the bases of the carbonates, and turns into
 sulphates by driving off the carbonic acid.
    Under the influence of the oxygen which has reached
 the tissues, a transformation takes place of those organic
 substances  which are to enter into the composition
 of new (young) cells.  The products of the  transforma-
 tion are:  muscle, nerve, connective-tissue substance,
 (glue-furnishing substance), and mucin.   With these
 substances (which are not present in the blood, but
 are only formed in the tissues from the albumen), the
 inorganic   substances unite  by reason of  chemical
 relations and affinity.  Whilst the  formation of new
 cells is going on under the influence of oxygen so also
 the destruction of old cells takes place.   Through the
 transformation of the organic substances,sulphuric acid,
 above  named,  is  formed, as  also  urea, uric acid,
 carbonic acid, water, etc.
   The final products of the metamorphosis are, urea
 carbonic acid, and water.   These products leave the
 tissues along with the salts which have  been set free,
 and give place to those organic substances which have
 not yet reached so high a degree of retrograding trans-
 formation, so as to  allow  these  also to  undergo their
 final metamorphosis   The products of the Retrograde
 Metamorphosis are removed from the system by the
 lymphatics, the connective tissue, and the veins to the
 gall bladder, to the lungs, to the kidneys, the bladder,
 and the skin, and  are  eliminated from  the organism
 together with the urine, the perspiration, foeces, etc.
   Concerning the important function of connective-
 tissue (connective-substance) Moleschott thus expresses
 himself:—"It is  one  of  the  grandest  conquests of
 " modern times, to which Virchow and Von Reckling-
 " hausen have paved the way, that this connective-
" substance has been elevated from the indifferent and
" secondary position formerly allotted to it, to one of
"fertile activity hitherto  unsuspected.  That which 
HEALTH AND DISEASE.             5
" was formerly considered simply as a padding, a filling-
" in, or protecting covering, now appears as  the nidus
"(bed) of the most minute sap-streamlets of blood to the
" tissues, and from them back to the  blood-vessels ;
" and,  at the same time, as one of the. most  important
" breeding-spots, of young cells, which  are  capable of
" rising  out of  the embryonic undeveloped youthful
" forms into the most characteristic formations of the
" body."
  An individual is in a state  of health, when by the
proper digestion of the solids and  fluids of the food
taken,  the blood receives due compensation for the
losses  sustained in giving off the  materials  for  the
nutrition of the  tissues, and when the nutritive material
is present in the proper  places and in the requisite
quantities, and no disturbance occurs in the molecular
movement,1 and when the building up of new cells, and
the disintegration, breaking up of old cells, as  well as the
elimination of useless material is carried on  normally.
  A disturbance in the molecular movements  of any
of the  inorganic salts of a tissue  produces  a disease.
For the healing  or  cure of such, the  giving of a
minimum dose of  the identical  inorganic  substance
suffices,   because  the molecules  of that  substance,
administered as medicine, fill  up the gap in  the  chain
of molecules of that particular cell or tissue salt.
  " Disease is an altered state of  cell,"  says  Virchow.
Health therefore is the normal state of cell.   The con-
stitution of the  cell is determined by the composition

  Spectrum Analysis has opened  a new field of truth, showing
matter to be capable of division to an extent of which we could form
no comprehension.  While speaking of the action  of molecules of a
minimum  dose, a statement by Darwin is subjoined, referring to
much more minute quantities than those used by Dr. Schussler.  He
says in his work on Insectivorous Plants:—"It  is an astonishing
fact, on which I will not here enlarge, that so inconceivably minute
a quantity as one 20,000,000th of a grain of ammonia phosphate
should induce some changes in a gland, sufficient  to cause a motor
impulse to be sent down the whole length of the tentacle ; this
impulse exciting.movements through  an angle of about  180°." 
6       PLANT AND CELL NUTRITION.
of its environments, immediate surrounding, as much
as the thriving of a plant depends on the quality of the
soil around its root fibres.
   The Agricultural Chemist speaks of the " Laws of the
Minimum " in accordance to  which the plant nutri-
ment present in the soil in the minimum, must be ap-
plied as manure: he requires  only three  manure
essentials,  either nitrogen combined with  hydrogen
(ammonia)  or Calcium  phosphate or  potash.   The
other substances forming plant food are present in the
soil in sufficient quantities.
   The " Law of the Minimum " is also applicable in
the biochemic measures (remedies).
   Example.—In the fostering soil of the bones  in a
child suffering from rickets, a want of the phosphate
of  lime has occurred, through  a disturbance in the
molecular movements of its molecules.1   The quantity
of phosphate  of lime  intended  for the  bones, which
cannot  reach  its  destination, would form  a surplus
(excess) if not carried off  with the urine.  The office
of  keeping the  blood in  its  integral  composition
devolves upon the kidneys.   They have therefore to
eliminate every foreign substance and every surplus
component.
   The cure of rickets can take place only after the
disturbance in the motion of the molecules in the said
fostering soil has been adjusted by means of minimal
doses of Calcium  phosphate; after this the Calcium
phosphate can  pass into the normal current.
  Every normal cell possesses the capacity of taking up
and casting off substances.  This power is diminished
or suspended, when the cell has suffered a loss in one
of  its  salts in  consequence  of  an  irritation (over
stimulation.)  The status quo ante can be re-established
   1 The rate at which molecular movements travel through a nerve
has been measured, and found to be about 100 feet per second, or
somewhat more than a mile a minute, in the nerves of a frog.  In
the nerves of a mammal it is just about twice as fast. 
BIOCHEMISTRY IN CELL-LIFE.        7
as soon as the deficiency has been  made up with the
homogeneous material from the immediate nutrient
source.   When the  supply does  not arrive  spon-
taneously, it  is to be assumed that  the special salt is
only  present there  in  the  minimum, or  that  the
diseased cells have suffered besides  the deficiency, also
a physical alteration, which will  not permit of  the
entering of the special blood salt.
  In  such a case higher  grades  of reduction  or
trituration of the salt are required.  When the cells
have  received  compensation  for  the loss and thus
regained their integrity, they are  in a condition to
perform their  normal function, and by it to effect
the removal of disease products (exudations, transuda-
tions), by chemical processes.  The Biochemic method
of cure aids nature in her efforts of cure by furnishing
her with the  natural remedial means which are lacking
in certain parts,  namely, the inorganic  salts.  The
direct aim in Biochemistry of covering a deficiency is
thus  achieved.   Other  methods  of cure in  which
remedies are used heterogeneous to the constituents
of the human organism reach their aim indirectly.
  Those who, with unbiased mind, will consider this
aim, and the means and ways by which it is achieved,
will  acknowledge that the  Biochemic Remedies  are
sufficient  to  cure  all diseases which are  curable  by
internal means when applied in  conformity with a
•correct diagnosis.
  Some medical men have proposed that the Bio-
•chemic Remedies should be proved  on healthy persons,
and that symptoms thereby produced, should be con-
sidered the indications for their use.  This  is funda-
mentally  false.   The indications  of  the Biochemic
Remedies must be  derived  from  physiological and
pathological  chemistry respectively, by the results of
their application in diseases.   Who could believe that
it would be possible that with large or small doses of
^ell-salts  given  to   healthy  persons, conditions of 
8        NATURE  WORKS WITH ATOMS.
 disease could be produced which have a similarity to<
 puerperal fever, typhus, acute articular rheumatism,
 hygroma patella?, etc. etc.
   The  Biochemic Remedies  are  given in  minimal
 doses, as they are not selected on the principle of
 similars.  Biochemistry is not Homeopathy.
   The  curative effectiveness  of small doses may  be
 deducted from these facts.  Nature works only with
 atoms and groups of atoms  termed molecules.  The
 growth of animals and plants is a synthetic process,.
 atoms or groups of atoms joining the already existing
 mass of molecules.
   That infinitely small particles of  matter which can-
 not be weighed can have  an effect in the organism,.
 cannot be contradicted in the face of such a fact, that
 waves of light, which are also  unweighable,  cause
 movements in the substances of living, green  parts of
 plants in consequence of which carbonic acid is decom-
 posed into carbon and oxygen.  The use of small doses-
 is a chemico-physiological necessity  for the healing
 of diseases by means  of the biochemic  cure.   For
 instance, when Glaubersalt is to reach the blood, this-
 cannot be done by giving it in a concentrated solution.
 The latter has only an  effect  on the intestinal  canal,
where it excites a watery  diarrhoea  purge, and  leaves.
the organism with these  same evacuations.   But a
diluted solution of (glaubersalt) Sodium sulphate will
enter into the blood  and into the other  intercellular
fluids, and there effects by  the  hygrometric (water
attracting) property of this salt, a passing over of the
excess of water from the tissues into the venous blood
and an increase of the secretion of urine.
   These obviously different effects have their founda-
 tion  in  the  following physiological  relations :—The
 epithelial cells of the lining of the intestines cause the
 wa,ter to pass from the intestinal tube into the blood.
   When the function of the epithelial cells suffers  an
interference by irritation, an opposite current is set up, 
BLOOD CELLS AND  MILK.
fr
water passes from the blood into the  intestinal canal.
A concentrated  solution of glaubersalt irritates the
epithelial cells, a diluted one does not.
  Every biochemic remedy must be diluted, so that the
function of healthy cells is not disturbed, and so  that
functional disturbances  when present can be corrected.
  In healthy people, animals and plants, the salts are
contained in diluted proportions which  correspond to
the third, fourth, and fifth decimal medicinal degree
of dilution.  The following analysis of blood cells re-
garding the human organism will show  this.
  In a thousand grammes of blood cells the inorganic
substances contained are at this rate—
       Iron,.....0998
       Sulphate of potash,    -     -     0132
       Potassium chloride,    -     -     3079
       Potassium phosphate,   -     -     2 343
       Sodium phosphate,    -     -     0633
       Sodium,     -                    0344
       Calcium phosphate,    -     -     0094
       Magnesium phosphate, -     -     0060
See Bunge's Manual of Physiological and Pathological
Chemistry, p. 219.
  Compare with the above analysis that of milk.   One
liter (1000  grammes) of milk contain  of inorganic
substances—
    Potassium.    -     -     -    0"78  grammes.
    Sodium,      -     -     -    0-23

    Magnesia,     -     -     -    0 06
    Iron,   -                   0004
    Phosphoric acid,   -     -    0-47
   *Chlorine,      -              044
                  *vide  Bunge, p. 97.
Milk contains besides these, traces  of Fluorine  and
Silica.   One litre (about a quart) of milk suffices for
the daily food of an infant, weighing about 1 stone. 
10       REASON FOR MINUTE DOSES.
   If 6 centigrammes of Magnesia suffice to  cover the
necessary supply of Magnesium in an infant, how very
small will be the dose of magnesia, by means of which
an attack of neuralgia can be cured, which  is caused
by an almost inconceivably small  deficiency of this
salt in a most minute portion of the nerve tissue.
   The percentage of the mineral substances in a cell
is extremely minute.  By weighing, measurement, and
calculation, the German physiologist, C. Schmidt, has
found that one corpuscle (blood-cell) contains about
one billionth part of Potassium chloride   The billionth
part  of a  gramme equals  the 12th or  6th cent.
trituration or delution.
   The dose of a Biochemic Remedy is not decided by
the quantity of a disease product; for instance through
the lack of a very minute quantity of Sodium chloride
in the cells of the epithelial layer  in a serous sac, an
extensive serous exudation may result and a minute
supply equal to the want of Sodium chloride molecules
can effect the resorption of the exudation.
   Guided by the relative quantities of the cell-salts
given as above, each physician can  base  the selection
of the dose.
   In my practice I usually select the 6th dec. tritura-
tion,  of which I dissolve a small quantity in water,
and give it as the urgency of the  case may require
every hour or two, or 3 to 4 times daily.  In suitable
cases an external application is also effective.
   One milligramme of a substance  is  estimated to
■contain 16 trillion  of molecules; this quantity is more
than sufficient for the restitution of a disturbance of
the molecular-motion in the tissues.
   Silica, which is insoluble in water, must be triturated
up to the fourth  or fifth degree,  so  that  it may be
dissolved in the water, and thus find its way  to the
destined pores in the walls of the capillaries.
   The objection might be raised that the molecules of
.the salts taken as  medicines would unite with those 
LIEBIG ON INFINITESIMALS.        11
liomogeneous salts contained in the  blood, and there-
fore the aim of the cure would be illusiory.  In reply
to this objection, it must here be stated specially that
this  supposed  union  will  not take  place, as  the
molecules  of  carbonic  acid serve  as the  isolating
medium of the molecules of the salt.
   The inorganic substances which serve as means of
nutrition respectively of function of plants are taken
up by them also, only in  minimal quantities.  Liebig
says:—"The strongest manure, sulphate of iron coarsely
powdered, can scarcely be compared in its effects with
a far smaller quantity of the same in a state  of infini-
tesimal subdivision, which in consequence  of its  fine-
ness  will be more generally diffused, so that some
particles will be found in all parts of  the  soil.   One
single root fibre requires but extremely little nourish-
ment where it is in contact with the soil, but for the
welfare of its function and its existence it is requisite
that this minimum must be  present exactly in that
.spot."—See Liebig's Chemical letters, vol ii. p. 295.
   In the 3rd edition of the Guide to the Mineral Baths
(Bader-Almanach) for 1886 Ave find  the following re-
marks, page 121 :—"  To judge by the results and the
■existing analysis, the waters  of Rilchingen  also con-
tain chiefly those cjiistituents with which, according
to Dr. Schussler's Abridged Therapeutics,  all curable
•diseases are cured in  the  biochemic  manner.  In the
waters of Rilchingen some of the mineral substances—
as, for instance, Magnesium phosphate, is present only
in the 8th, Potassium chloride in the 5th,  and Silica
in the 6th decimal attenuation or dilution."
   Dr. Behneke, in his balneological letters,  writes as
follows :—" Relative  proportion  is a thing always of
importance  : it is the degree of concentration in which
the salt solutions are  present in the waters for use in
the human organism.  I am convinced that many of the
most famous mineral  springs owe their good results to
the fact that the curative constituents are only present

in weak dilution.   This experience seems to me a very-
important one, that very minute doses, as we would
think, of effective or beneficial constituents, produce-
often the most excellent results."
   It may not be out of place here to quote some words-
of professor  Huxley  on "Cellular Pathology," from
his  address  at the International Medical Congress,
London.

PROFESSOR HUXLEY OX THE  CONNECTION  OF
  THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES WITH MEDICINE.

   " I trust I have not been mistaken in  supposing that at>
attempt  to  give a  brief sketch of the steps by which a
philosophical necessity has become a historical reality may
not be devoid of interest, possibly of instruction,  to  the
members of this great Congress, profoundly interested as all
are in the scientific development of medicine.
   " The greatest physiological and pathological work of the
seventeenth  century, Borelli's treatise 'De motu animalium,'
is, to all intents and  purposes, a development  of Descortes'
fundamental conception ;  and the same may be said of  the
physiology and pathology of Boerhaave1,  whose  authority
dominated in  the medical  world of the first half  of  the
eighteenth century.
   " With the origin of modern chemistry, and of electrical
science, in the latter half of the eighteenth  century, aids
in the analysis of the phenomena of life, of which  Descartes-
could not  have dreamed, were offered to the  physiologist.
And the greater part of the gigantic progress which has been
made in the  present century is a justification of the prevision
of Descartes.   For  it  consists, especially, in a more  and
more complete resolution of the grosser organs of the living-
body into  physico-chemical mechanisms.  *  *  'To apply

Eome, author of  " Kreislauf des Lebens." 
DIVERS TISSUES—DIVERSE DISEASES.   13
th<* physical sciences to physiology is to explain the phenomena
■of living bodies by the laws of inert bodies.'
It is not too much to say that one  half of  a modern text
book of physiology consists of applied physics and chemistry ;
and that it is exactly in the exploration of the phenomena of
sensibility and contractility that physics and chemistry have
everted the most potent influence.   *    *   ' All animals,'
.says Bichat,  ' are assemblages of different  organs, each of
which performs its functions and concurs, after its fashion,
in the preservation of the whole.  There are so many special
machines  in  the  general machine  which  constitutes  the
individual.  But each of these special machines is itself com-
pounded of many tissues of  very different natures, which in
truth constitute the elements of those organs.'1   (I.e. lxxix.)
 ' The conception of a proper vitality is applicable only to these
simple tissues, and not to the organs themselves.'  (I c. lxxxiv.)
   " And Bichat proceeds to make the obvious application of
the doctrine of synthetic life, if I may so call it, to patho-
logy.   Since  diseases are only alterations of  vital properties,
and the properties of each tissue are distinct from those of
 the rest, it is evident that the diseases  of each tissue must
 be different from those of the rest.  Therefore, in any organ
 composed of different tissues one may be diseased and  the
 other remain healthy ;  and  this  is what happens in most
 cases   (I.e. lxxxv.)   *    *  In a spirit of true prophecy,
 Bichat says,  ' we have arrived at an epoch,  in which  patho-
 logical anatomy should start afresh.'  For as the analysis of
 the organs had led him to the tissues as the physiological
 units of the  organism, so, in a succeeding generation,  the
 analysis  of the tissues led to the  cells as the physiological
 element  of the tissues.    *   *   *    *   In  fact,  the
 body is a machine of the nature of an army, not of that of a
 watch, or of  a hydraulic apparatus.  Of this army, each cell
 is a soldier, an organ a brigade, the central nervous system
 the head-quarters and field telegraph,  the alimentary  and
 circulatory  system  the  commissariat.    Losses   are made
 <rocd by recruits born in camp, and the life of the individual
 is a campaign, conducted successfully for a number of years,
 but with certain  defeat in the long run.  * *  *  Hence

the establishment of the cell theory, in normal biology, was-
swiftly followed  by a " cellular pathology,'  as  its logical
counterpart.  I need not remind you how great an instru-
ment of investigation this doctrine has proved in the hands-
of the  man of genius,1  to  whom its  development  is due.
*    *   Henceforward,  as it appears to me, the  connection
of medicine with the  biological  sciences is clearly defined.
Pure pathology ia that branch  of biology which  defines the
particular perturbation  of cell life or of the co-ordinating
machinery, or of both, on which  the phenomena of disease-
depends.   *   *   *   Those who are  conversant with the-
present state of  biology  will hardly hesitate to admit that
the conception of the life of one of the  higher animals as the
summation of the lives of a cell aggregate, brought into har-
monious action   by a co-ordinative machinery formed  by
some of ther;e cells, constitutes a permanent acquisition of
physiological science.  *   *   *   There are some   *   *
who look, with as little favour  as Bichat did, upon any  at-
tempt to apply the principles and the methods  of physics
and chemistry to the investigation of the vital processes of
growth, metabolism, and contractility : they stand upon the
ancient ways.
  " Others, on the contrary, supported by a robust faith in
the universal  applicability of the principles laid down  bv
Descartes,  and seeing that the actions called  ' vital' are, so-
far as we have any means of knowing,  nothing but  changes
of place of particles of matter, look to molecular physics to
achieve the analysis of the  living protoplasm  itself into a
molecular mechanism.   If there is any truth in the received
doctrines of physics, that contrast does not exist between
]i-/ing and inert matter, on which Bichat lays so much stress.
In nature, nothing is at rest,  nothing is amorphous ; the
simplest particle of  that  which  men in their blindness are
pleased to call  ' brute matter' is  a  vast  aggregate  of
molecular machanisms, performing complicated movements
of immense rapidity and sensitively adjusting themselves to
every change  in  the  surrounding  world.   *    *   *    *

chain of causation connects the nebulus original of suns and<
planetary systems with  the  protoplasmic  foundation of life
and organisation.
  "From this point of view, pathology is the analogue of the-
theory of perturbations  in  astronomy;  and  therapeutics
resolves  itself into a discovery of the means  by which a
system of forces  competent to eliminate any given perturba-
tion may be introduced into the economy.  And as pathology
bases itself upon normal  physiology,  so therapeutics  rests
upon pharmacology ;  which is, strictly speaking, a part of
the great biological topic of the influence of conditions on
the living organism, and has no scientific foundation apart
from physiology.   *  *   *   *   It will, in short, become
possible to introduce into the economy a molecular mechan-
ism  which,  like a very cunningly contrived torpedo,  shair
find its way to some particular group of living elements, and
cause an explosion [i.e., absorption and molecular  motion]
among them, leaving  the rest untouched.
   " The search for the explanation of diseased states in modi-
fied  cell life  in  the aetiology  of disease, the elucidation of
the action of medicaments by the methods and the data of
experimental physiology, appear to me to be  the greatest
steps which have ever been made towards  the establishment
of medicine on a scientific basis.   I need hardly say they
could not have been made except for the advance of normal
biology."—Extracts from the Address.
  The most famous scientist in this country advances sug-
gestions arrived  at  from his point of view, as seen by the
above, which are in singular agreement with Dr Schiissler's
views and experiences on the subject of scientific medicine.
  Biology shows Biochemistry to be a science.  The practical
counterpart of the abstract  science of Virchow's Cellular
Pathology  is  formed  by " Cellular Therapeutics,"  or the
system of introducing molecular cell-salts.   The one, indeed,
is the forerunner of the other ; the fcrmer science investiga-
ting the morbid  states of tissue-cells ; the latter a system by
which the natural action of force—fixed by a law of chemical

 affinity—of any of the inorganic  constituents is  systemati-
 cally employed to eliminate any given disease or perturbation
 from any of the tissue-cells by means of molecules of special
 adequate proportion, which, finding their way  by affinity to
 the particular group of (diseased) living elements, set up
 molecular motion and equilibrium of balance in the economy
 of the cells.  But only the non-functional  tissue cells are
 acted upon, leaving the rest untouched!   In health restored,
 the physiological laws are suffered  to resume their normal
 course.   Law is law, and in nature  unalterable.  If man  is
 not the casual production or conduction  of atoms, one may
 not pass by this wondrous phenomenon which he presents,
 without acknowledging that this finely wrought composition
 of organic and inorganic atoms  is regulated  by a universal
 law, the teachings of which are far-reaching.  By them we
 arrive by  induction  at  the  grand science  of  " Cellular
Therapeutics."  Biochemic  treatment is the  outcome of the
 teachings of Biology and those sciences which  of  late  years
 have  disclosed Nature's  ways and footsteps, by aid of the
 microscope and spectroscope.
   Let every medical man, every student test this law, and
-conscientiously apply  the molecular tissue  cell-salts under
 i^iven abnormal conditions as indicated here,  and he will not
 fail to attain good results.  The action by chemical affinity
of these triturated molecules of cell-salts is certain, because
 fixed  by that law.   Nature's laws appear profoundly simple,
 yet are they in simplicity profound.   " Close observation of
 little  things is the secret of true science."  None who watch
 the wonderful results in Nature from  infinitely minute
causes will doubt the power of little things.   Little bits of
experience gathered up carefully and arranged systematically
make up the store of our knowledge.
   Surely those scientists who do not hail  so  great an event
as the opening up  of  " Cellular Therapeutics," truly scien-
tific medicine, do not comprehend the deep meaning of their
own teachings in this direction, the possibility and  rationale
of a defined general Law of cure on these lines.   Under the
advance of Histology, Analytical Chemistry, Cellular Patho-
logy, etc., it has become possible  to  group  the tissues by
their special constitution  of definite organic and  inorganic
substances.  Consequently, to apply to each kind of tissue

its own general, definite, and peculiar cell salts, according to
its requirements in disease.
  The promoters of the  sister  sciences of medicine  have
made it possible for the physician in future to depend on the
method of operation of his medicines in  the living organism,
when these  are skillfully selected and  scientifically applied.
By the distinctive symptoms he is guided in his  choice of
the  particular cell salts required—the immense varieties
and  complications of morbid states, offering vast scope for
•exact  medical practice, wherewith to  build  up the  great
pyramid of scientific medicine of this advanced era.
  The Biochemic treatment of disease must not be con-
founded  with  Homoeopathy,  which  rests on the  law of
*' Similia " and Symptomatology.   Some  would fain  call it
Homoeopathy ; but Dr Schiissler is  not  a Homoeopath.  His
new remedies owe their new development largely to Biology
and  its Cell-theory, and to Cellular Pathology, of which the
necessary and natural counterparts are Cellular Therapeutics
or Biochemic Treatment of Disease.
   One of the most  attractive and promising  features of the
above method is, that it is in no degree antagonistic  to the
medical  science of the present day,—is in every way comple-
mentary of it, and  thus  may be advantageously studied  by
all intelligent minds, and practically adopted in our schools
of medical thought.

   Ferric Phosphate = (Ferrum Phosphoricum).1'

Iron is a constitutent of the blood-corpuscles, and  of
the muscle-cells, etc.  When the  equilibrium of the
iron molecules in the muscular fibres is disturbed, the
latter become relaxed.   When  such a disturbance  of
proper  balance  takes  place in the fibres  which are
circularly arranged round the blood-vessels, the vessels
dilate, become distended, and an accumulation of blood
arises  in  the vascular parts so  affected.   When,  in
consequence of an increased  pressure of blood, a rup-
ture of the walls of the blood-vessels ensues, haemorr-
hage [bleeding] will follow.
  When the muscles of the intestinal villi [absorbents]
suffer a functional disturbance  of their iron molecules,
loose evacuations will follow.
  When, in consequence of a disturbance of the proper
balance of the iron molecules, the  muscular fibres  of
the intestinal walls  become weakened,, then the ver-
micular action of the intestines proceeds with  less
activity, and  a tendency to constipation arises.
  Iron  molecules, therapeutically employed, allay the
pathological functional disturbance.
  Thus iron, in restoring the  blood-vessels to  their
normal condition, when dilated by disease, is dispelling

 the irritation-hyperaemia[local excess of blood], which is
 the primary cause of the first stage of all inflammations.
   Hyperemia caused by an injury (accident), is cured
 by iron;  and  fresh  non-suppurating  wounds  are
 quickly healed by this remedy.
   Iron and  the iron salts  possess  the property of
 attracting oxygen.   In this fact  consists their utility
 to  the respective tissue-cells.   I  use the Ferric phos-
 phate or phosphate of iron.
   Upon my recommendation  several  farmers have
 given Ferric  phosphate, with uniform success, to sows
 possessed with the mania of eating their own  young.
 This disease (mania  transitoria) arises from hypersemia
 of the brain.


 Magnesium Phosphate = (Magnesia Phosphorica)

 Is  the earthy constituent of muscle  and nerves, and
 occurs also in  the  bones.    As a nerve remedy it
 furnishes  most excellent results.  The nerve pains
 which  are healed  by  Magnesium  phosphate  are
 generally  of  a shooting character, like lightning,
 boring, or with a sensation of being tightly  drawn
 together,  or  grasped by  a tight band:  they readily
 change their  location, and are  somewhat relieved by
 warmth and pressure.
  Headache, face-ache, toothache, epigastric pains (pit
 of stomach),  stomach-ache, and pains of the  above
 description in the limbs,  I have frequently cured by
 this remedy.   The  pains of  the  stomach  [bowels]
 generally radiate from the umbilicus (navel),  they are
 sometimes accompanied  by loose  motions,  and are
 eased by pressure  with the  hand, by warmth,  or by
 doubling up.   In face-ache  [neuralgic or rheumatic],
 which  at  its  height  is accompanied by an increased
flow of tears, Magnesium phosphate  is not  suitable,
but Sodium chloride. 
20     Potassium Phosphate = Kali Phosphoricum.
  The action of Magnesia is the reverse of that of Iron.
By functional disturbance of the iron  molecules, the
muscular fibres relax ;  through the functional disturb-
ance  of the  magnesium  molecules  they contract.
Therefore, Magnesium phosphate is the remedy for all
cramps: spasms of the glottis, cramps  of the legs,
tetanus, lockjaw, St. Vitus's dance, spasmodic ischury
[stoppage of urine], etc.
  Farmers  give  Magnesium phosphate,  with very
prompt results, for spasms and flatulent colic in horses,
and for the acute tympanic [drum like] swellings of
cattle,  arising from green unsuitable fodder.  The
inflammatory colic of horses requires Ferric phosphate;
should mortification commence, Potassium phosphate.
   Potassium Phosphate=(Kali Posphoricum)

Is a constituent of the brain, the nerves, the muscles,
and the blood-corpuscles.  A disturbance of the func-
tion of the molecules of this salt causes
  (a) In  the brain—according  to  locality, extension,
      or intensity of disturbance :
         (1) mental depression, manifesting itself by
             irritability [excitability]; over-sensitive-
             ness ;  tendency to  weeping; timidity,
             shyness, dread;
         (2) softening of the brain.
  (b) In the Nerves: laming pains, mostly felt during
      rest; better from movement without exertion;
      feeling  of lassitude and exhaustion.
  (c) In the Muscle-cells: fatty metamorphosis.  In the
      juice of muscle or flesh: putrid decomposition.
  (d) In the Blood-corpuscles:  too rapid decay of the
      same.1

Calcium Phosphate = Calcarea Phosphorica.     21
  Therefore, Potassium phosphate cures the following
conditions of disease :—septic hemorrhage, scorbutic
bleedings,  mortification,  cancrum  oris, gangrenous
croup, phagadenic  chancre, putrid-smelling diarrhoea,
adynamic, typhoid  conditions, etc.
  It will  also  be found useful in concussion of the
brain, symptoms of collapse, and shocks of paralysis.


   Oalcium Phosphate = (Calcarea Phosphorica)

Is a constituent of the teeth, the bones, the connective-
tissues, the blood-corpuscles, etc.
  It  is the specific  remedy for rhachitis (rickets),
cranial tabes (wasting of the cranial  bones), pallor,
ansemia (bloodlessness,), chlorosis,  and hydrocephalus.
It also assises  the  new callus formation of fractured
bones and in teething.
  It also cures those pains arising  from  ansemia, which
are usually accompanied  by a creeping sensation and
a feeling of numbness or coldness.
  By reason of its specific relation to the albuminous
bodies, Calcium phosphate assists resorption  of  albu-
minous exudations and transudations.   Therefore it
cures  hydrops  genu, hygroma  patellae, and tumor
albus (white swelling).  It cures  also various scrofu-
lous affections, chronic glandular swellings,  goitre, etc.
 . Those cramps which attack scrofulous persons  are
not always curable by Magnesium phosphate, in which
case Calcium phosphate is to be used.^
  Calcium phosphate is  a  restorative after   acute
disease.

     Sodium  Chloride = (Natrum Muriaticum).

  By its volumetric force the carbonic acid which is
in our blood drives  off the chlorine of the Sodium
chloride which is contained in the epithelial cells of 
22      Sodium Chloride = Natrum Muriaticum.
the  salivary glands, and  the Sodium thus set  free
unites with the  carbonic  acid, and this  combination
enters into the  blood, whereas  the  chlorine  which
was  driven off, combined with hydrogen and dissolved
in water, enters the stomach as hydrochloric acid.
  When by reason of a deficiency of Sodium chloride
in the epithelial  cells, no hydrochloric acid is formed,
then the alkaline mucus secreted by the  upper layer
of the epithelial cells of  the mucous membrane  is
increased.  If in such  a case we were to reduce the
secretions of this mucous membrane by the action  of
hydrochloric acid, the procedure  would only be  a
palliative one.  But to effect a rational cure it behoves
us to adjust or correct the  disturbance in  the nutrient
fluid of the salivary glands themselves, and to promote
the  molecular  motion  of  the molecules of Sodium
chloride  by prescribing or introducing homogeneous
molecules.
  Sodium chloride is  also  the functional  remedy  of
mucin contained  in the epithelial cells of all mucous
membranes.   It  cures catarrhs of all  the mucous
membranes  where  the secretions are  watery,  trans-
parent, glairy, glassy.  The hydrochloric  acid formed
in the epithelial  cells  of the salivar}' glands reduces
or limits to the normal quantity the alkaline mucous
secretions of the upper layer of epithelial cells,  so
hydrochloric acid contained in the mucin of all mucous
membranes  splitting off from Sodium chloride, their
functional  remedy, can already in this nascent con-
dition reduce or limit the mucous secretion.
  But not only by the volumetric force of  the carbonic
acid, but  also by the  volumetric force of  the  water1
present, can hydrochloric acid be driven  off from the
Sodium chloride.
  1 When Sodium Chloride is dissolved in water the latter contains,
besides Na. CI., a small quantity of H. CI.  and  Na. O.H. (vide
Bung's Lehrbuch der physiologischen and pathologischen Chemie). 
Potassium Chloride = Kali Muriaticum.       23
  In the former case, Sodium having lost the chlorine,
combines with carbonic acid, and  this combination
enters into the blood; in the latter case arises Sodium
hydrate, which dissolves the mucin and  increases the
secretion of mucus.  Hence the occurrence of catarrhs
from damp  air.
  Sodium chloride corresponds as  remedy to watery
secretions which are sometimes irritating and  scald-
ing ; further, in headache, face or toothache, with an
involuntary flow of saliva or  tears, or when accom-
panied with vomiting of watery fluids.
  When the  Sodium chloride contained  in  the epi-
thelial cells of the serous membranes suffers  a dis-
turbance  in its  molecular  motion, then  a  serous
■effusion is the result.
     Potassium  Chloride1 =(Kali Muriaticum).

  Potassium chloride is to be  found as  a constituent
in the blood corpuscles in muscle, nerve and brain
cells, as well as  in the intercellular fluid.  When the
motion of the Potassium chloride molecules has been
disturbed in the walls of the blood or lymph  vessels,
and  in consequence a lack or  minimum  has resulted,
an exudation of fibrin and of white blood or of lymph
corpuscles takes place.   But when the integrity of the
tissues has been restored by giving doses of Potassium
chloride in  molecular form, resorption or  casting out
of the exudation can take  place.  The one or other of
these  processes  will  take  place,  probably  by the
splitting off of a portion of  the  chlorine from the
Potassium  chloride, which, uniting with hydrogen,
and  in a nascent condition as hydro-chloric acid, acts
as a solvent upon the fibrin.

  1 This salt  (K. CI.) must not be  confounded with Potassium
Chlorate.  K.  CI. 03.) 
24       Calcium Fluoride = Calcarea Fluorica.
   Potassium  chloride   cures   Dysentery,  summer
 Diarrhoea, Diphtheria, membranous Croup, croupous
 inflammation of the lungs, fibrinous exudation in the
 interstitial  connective-tissues  (e.g. Mastitis), acute
 infiltration  of  the lymphatic glands, infiltrated in-
 flammation of  the skin, with  or  without  vesicles,
 (blistering Erysipelas), etc.  Potassium chloride is the
 surest remedy for many diseases, especially of Eczema,
 which has been developed after  vaccination with bad
 vaccine lymph.

      Calcium Fluoride1 =(Calcarea Fluorica)
 Is to be found  in the surface of the bone and in the
 enamel of the teeth.  On the grounds  of therapeutical
 experiences I assume that it is also a constituent of
 the elastic fibres, and that the proper function of these
 is promoted by this salt.
   Elastic fibres are found in the epidermis (skin), in
 the connective-tissue, and in the vascular walls.
   A disturbance of the equilibrium of the  molecules
 of Calcium fluoride causes a  continued dilatation, or
 chronically relaxed condition of  the implicated fibres.
 When the elastic fibres of any portion of the vessels
 of the connective  tissue  or of the lymphatic system
 have arrived at such a condition of relaxation, the ab-
 sorption  of a solid exudation in such a part cannot
 take place.   In consequence, induration (hardening)
 of the parts set in.  When  the elastic fibres of the
 blood-vessels suffer from a disturbance of  the mole-
 cules of  Calcium fluoride, such  pathological  enlarge-
 ments of blood  vessels take  place, which make their
 appearances  as:   hsemorrhoidal  tumours,  varicose
 (dilated)  veins and  vascular tumours.

   Sodium Phosphate = (Natrum Phosphoricum).
  Through the presence of Sodium phosphate, lactic
acid  is decomposed into carbonic acid and water.  The
1 Fluor spar. 
The Sulphates.
lb-
Sodium phosphate possesses the property of fixing or
absorbing the carbonic acid in proportion of two parts
of carbonic acid to one of  phosphoric acid.  When it
has fixed the carbonic acid it thus carries the same to
the lungs.   It is contained in the blood corpuscles,
muscle, brain, and nerve cells, and in  the intercellular
fluids.
  The oxygen inhaled by the  lungs liberates the car-
bonic acid only loosely fixed by the Sodium phosphate;
the carbonic acid is given off in  the expiration and
exchanged for oxygen, which  in its turn is taken up
by the iron of the blood corpuscles.
  Uric acid is readily dissolved  by the presence of
Sodium  phosphate at the normal  temperature of the
body.  From the preceding the indications for Sodium
phosphate result.
  Therefore, it is the remedy of those diseases which
arise  from  an excess of  lactic acid (pertaining to-
milk).  It is specially suited to the troubles of young
children who have been fed with  too much sugar and
milk, and suffer from acidity.
  The symptoms  which indicate  the use of Sodium
phosphate are :  Acid risings—vomiting of sour fluids
or  curded masses;  yellow-greenish  diarrhoea  (stools
appear chopped);  pains in the bowels, cramp, with
symptoms of acidity.
  Sodium phosphate is also indicated in the uric acid
diathesis, podagra, gout, as also in acute and  chronic
articular rheumatism.


                 The Sulphates.

  The sulphuric acid arising from  the oxidation of the
albuminous  bodies  would, as  such,  destroy  the
tissues, did  it not, by driving off the  carbonic acid,
unite in  its naseent  condition with  the bases of car-
bonates. 
26      Sodium Sulphate = Natrum Sulphuricum.
    Sodium Sulphate = (Natrum Sulphuricum).

  Sodium sulphate is not present in  the cells;  only
in the intercellular fluids.  It regulates and promotes
the elimination of the excess of water; for  instance,
such as has arisen in consequence of  the decomposi-
tion of lactic acid, brought  about by  the  Sodium
phosphate.   Through a disturbed and only partial
elimination of it by the skin oedema arises ;  also oedema-
tous inflammations of  the  skin,  smooth erysipelas;
through  disturbances  in  the  biliary course  arise,
vomiting of bile, bilious, watery  diarrhoea, etc.


    Potassium Sulphate = (Kali Sulphuricum).

  The sulphates which are met  with in the earth's
crust  and the oxide  of iron  (iron oxydul)  serve  as
carriers of oxygen.  When a sulphate and an oxide of
iron come in contact  simultaneously with an organic
substance in a state  of decomposition, they give off
their oxygen, and sulphate of iron is  thereby formed.
The latter is  decomposed by the  presence of air, sul-
phuric acid and oxide of iron result, which under
favourable conditions become again carriers of oxygen.
  Similiar processes may occur in the human organ-
ism.  Among the sulphates the Potassium  sulphate
seems to play an important part, because it is contained
in cells as  well as in intercellular fluids, whilst the
Sodium  sulphate  and Calcium  sulphate  are   only
present in the intercellular fluids.
  When the  molecules of the Potassium  sulphate
suffer a disturbance the following diseases arise ; Pains
which are intermittent, change their location, are worse
during rest,  with warmth, towards evening and in close
rooms, but cease in the open air, in a cool atmosphere
rich in  oxygen.   Excessive desquamation  of the
epidermis (skin), catarrhs with yellow slimy secretions,
etc. 
Calcium Sulpliate = Calcarea Sulphurica.      27
     Oalcium Sulphate = (Calcarea Sulphurica).

  Calcium sulphate stands in close relation to sup-
purations.   It  cures  mattery discharges from  the
mucous membranes and mattery exudations in serous
sacs, as well as tubercular ulcers or abscesses of the
intestines, and ulcers of the cornea, etc.

                 Silica = (Silicea)

Is a component  part  of  the connective-tissue,  the
epidermis, the hair, and the nails.
  The effect  attributed to it upon the brain, spinal
marrow, and nerves, must be referred to the connective-
tissue covering of the nerve fibres.
  A functional disturbance of Silica molecules causes
a swelling of the affected  portion of connective-tissue
cells.  This swelling may remain stationary for some
time, become  absorbed, or end in suppuration.
  Silica, like  Calcium sulphate is connected with sup-
puration,  the  difference  between  the two remedies
being: that Silica by  promoting suppuration, or the
formation of pus, brings an abscess to maturity, whilst
Calcium  sulphate  heals suppurating  wounds by
checking  the  suppuration.
  As long as there are infiltrated parts in a suppurat-
ing wound which have to be emptied by continued
suppuration, Silica is  the remedy required, and the
healing of the wound proceeds with the decrease of
these infiltrated  parts.  When no  such swellings or
infiltrated places  are present, and the wound does not
heal on account of the torpidity of the tissues, Calcium
sulphate is the remedy  indicated.
   The inorganic substances present in the blood and
tissues  are  sufficient  to  heal  all diseases which are
•curable at all. 
28      Cells Healthy, Microbes Starve, Diminish.
  The question whether this or  that  disease is or is
not dependent on the existence of germs, microbes, or
bacteria, is of no importance in  biochemic treatment.
If the remedies in the following Special Guide  are
used, the  therapeutical aim—that of curing disease—
will be gained in the shortest way.
  Long-standing  chronic  diseases,  which  have been
brought on by over-dosing, excessive use of medicines,.
as quinine,  mercury, etc., can  be  cured by minute
doses of cell-salts.
  The symptoms  [or indications of the underlying
morbid  states of tissues] decide the selection  ol  the
remedy.
  But although  the above-named diseases, caused by
the abuse of medicines, can be cured by taking cell-
salts, it is self-evident that acute cases of poisoning
by arsenic, phosphorus, etc., must be treated accord-
ing to the well known principles on poisoning relating
to such conditions.
  Several doctors have  supposed  that  the organic
combinations of the human  organism ought also to
be comprised in  the biochemic therapeutics.   Such
views are erroneous, which I shall endeavour to show.
  Biochemic Therapeutics, as has already been indi-
cated, is the  Analogue  of Agricultural  Chemistry.
When a plant possesses the necessary inorganic sub-
stances, intended for her by nature, it is in a position
to make for itself all the organic combinations  which
are necessary for its organism.   A plant  is not pro-
vided or manured with chlorophyll granules to  make
the leaves green, because one  knows that the iron
contained in the plants effects itself the formation of
the green colour of its leaves.  One does not nourish
the  plant  with  a  compost  or  manure  of lecithin,
nuclein, etc., to supply it with these phosphoric com-
binations ; but manure it  if necessary with phosphate
of lime.  The plant abstracts from the Calcium phos-
phate the  phosphoric acid,  and binds  it with  the-

remaining  substances  necessary  for the  constitution
of lecithin, nuclein, etc.
   Should any one raise  the objection that the agri-
cultural or horticultural chemists were in the wrong,
believing as they do that only three manure essentials
could suffice, but that all  organic  substances  should
be taken into consideration as regards the manure,
e.g., such as  chlorophyll, gum, resin, oil, starch, grape
sugar, pommic acid, etc., the scientist would smile at
such a sage.
   When the human organism contains organic sub-
stances such as albumen,  fat, carbo-hydrates,  besides
the necessary  inorganic cell-salts  in sufficient quan-
tities  in the right places, all  necessary  organic sub-
stances must form by reason of  the oxygen, and the
consequent sub-divisions  and synthesis,  constituting
the health of the individual.
   Syntheses, which were formerly only accredited as
the exclusive privilege of  the plants, are also carried
on in  the human and  animal organism.
   To  those who believe that  the  organic substances
should also be included in  my Biochemic Therapeutics,
belongs Dr. King, Ward's Island, New York.  He finds
fault  that the  primary or  elementary combinations
are not included in my system of therapeutics, among
other things, " The organic substances, such as kera-
tin, tyrosin,  creatin, creatinin, etc., are  normal consti-
tuents of those tissues, in and upon which cancer
tumours form, and we are  therefore justified to accept
that,  by  a  correct preparation and correct  choice,
these  will  exert a  special  influence upon those allied
or related  tissues."
   This is partially true, but mostly untrue.  It is true
that keratin is a normal  constituent of some tissues,
hut creatin and creatinin  are not constituents of the
 tissues. They  are as  products of  the retrograde cell-
metamorphosis.   All  organic  combinations, which,
like creatin, creatinin  urea, and uric acid,  etc., are

 eliminated in normal urine, must be considered as the
 last stages  of the oxidation of the organic nutrient
 substances.  They may be compared, as regards their
 uselessness  for the human organism, with the resin
 which is being eliminated by some plants as a useless-
 product.
   The idea of curing a diseased tissue with a healthy
 one, which is related to it, is very strange.  Cartilage
 tissue is related to the mucous tissue.  The functional
 remedy of both is Sodium chloride.   Would any one
 think of trying to  cure a cold with  a preparation of
 cartilage, when it is curable with Sodium chloride ?
   Ten years  ago  Dr.  Constantine Hering thougbt of
 the plan of  trying the horny tissues  as  a remedy.
 He and his friends tried on  both horses and men pre-
 {>ared castor  equorum, the horny excrescenses on the
 egs of horses.  In the index of symptoms relating to
 this,  the statement runs :—" An  old frail horse has
 grown twenty years younger."   In spite of this pro-
 mising symptom, which stamps this castor eqorum as
 a renewing mill for old age,  the remedy has sunk into
 oblivion.
   Dr. Ring and confreres are having those substances
 prepared they have in view. Their  undertaking will
 call forth symptom manufactories.  We will probably
 read of very funny symptoms.
   If the chemico-physiological views of these gentle-
 men were a little clearer, they would  see  that their
 enterprise is a very useless pastime.
   For instance, when they use lecithin, they can  at
 most  get the  effects of a phosphate; when keratin,
 which is rich in  sulphur, they obtain nothing more
 than  the effects of a sulphate.   Why wander in the
 dark when  Bio-chemistry offers already 5 phosphates
 and 3 sulphates.
   When an  inorganic salt is voided  in excess in the
 urine, a deficit of the same  salt  exists in the imme-
diate  provisionary store  of such a tissue, and the- 
Synthetic Formations, Preservative.        31
identical salt is indicated as a remedy (vide Rhachitis
rickets, p.  21).   When the urine contains  albumen,
sugar,  etc., then a nutrient inorganic salt correspond-
ing  chemico-physiologically to these  substances  is
present in the minimum, and the homogeneous or self-
same salt is indicated as the cure or remedy.   A mini-
mum can  only  occur in the provisionary  store of a
cell  salt, never  in the organic substances; therefore
the organic substances are excluded from the curative
remedies or therapeutics.
   Whoever doubts this can try whether any disease
can  be cured by means  of glue  substance, mucus
substance, tyrosin, elastin, sugar, fat, etc. The result
will be a negative one.
   For the synthetic formation and the preservation
of the human organism, the  following substances are
required :—Oxygen,  fat, albumen, glue-furnishing sub-
stance, mucus substance, keratin, elastin, haemoglobin,
lecithin, nuclein, cholesterine, water, and the inorganic
salts.
   Albumen forms the principal portion of the blood-
plasma, and of the lymph.  It is contained in the
muscular  fibres, the axes  cylinders, the nerve fibres,
and in the protoplasmic body of all  the cells.  The
organic framework of  the bones consists of  glue-fur-
nishing substance, so also cartilage, tendons, and the
connective tissue.
   The mucus  substance is contained in the epithelial
cells of the mucus membranes.   Keratin is the or-
ganic  basis of the epidermis, the  hair, and  the nails;
elastin is in the elastic fibres.
   The glue-furnishing substance, the mucous sub-
stance, keratin, and  elastin are products which form
under the influence of the oxygen  during the splitting
up of the albumen.
   The haemoglobin of the blood cells or corpuscles is
the  combination of an albumenous body with a body
containing iron, namely hsematim 
32         Cell Salts, Regulators of Function.
   Lecithin and nuclein arise from  albumen, fat, and
a phosphate, in consequence of a special arrangement
of molecules.
   Whatever else is found in the tissues  besides the
above mentioned organic  and  inorganic synthetic
materials must be considered products of the  retro-
grade metamorphosis of the cells and the breaking
down of the albumen:  substances which through the
activity of the cells must be eliminated.
   To the products of the retrograde metamorphosis
of the cells belong, as  stated, creatin,  creatinin, etc.;
to the products of the decomposition or the breaking
down of the albumen belong tyrosin, leucin, etc.
   Albuminous  substances  and  fats  are  means of
repair and sources of force.  Oxygen, carbo-hydrates,
and gluten (not to be confounded with glue-furnishing
substance) are  sources of force.   The inorganic salts
are means of repair and regulators of the functions.
   The equalising or  adjusting of functional disturb-
ances is synonymous with the  restoring  of health.
This aim and object will only be reached through the
Biochemic means and  ways  of  the inorganic  salts.
The expectations of Dr. Ring and confreres of curing
diseases by means of tyrosin, keratin, creatin, etc., is
based on  an illusion, a phantom, which  disappears
when physiologically  illumined.
  Each inorganic substance has special  passages of
transit through the walls of the capillaries.1   Thanks to
this  provision each tissue receives only those mineral
substances which pertain to it.  The connective tissue
Silica;  the mucous  tissue Sodium chloride,  etc.
Without such  arrangement  there would  occur  such
confusion in the intercellular fluids  that the building
up of new cells  would be impossible.
  In  healthy cells and  their intercellular fluids the
salts  are in such favourably local relations to  each

other that  they cannot bear any improper or undue
influence upon each other.  Without such favourable
relations contrary combinations (transpositions) would
take place.   If, for instance, Sodium chloride  and
Potassium phosphate are dissolved  in one  liquid, a
new chemical combination by double decomposition
will take place, and in consequence Potassium chloride
and Sodium phosphate will form.
  Such processes must not be disregarded by those
who wish to use two Biochemic remedies  together or
at the same time.
  When the  two specified salts are dissolved in one
liquid  in ponderable quantities, the combination by
double decomposition is but a partial one ; but when
minimum doses come in contact with each other  in a
relatively large quantity of fluid, complete (re-arrange-
ment of molecules) may take place.

    Febrile and Inflammatory Conditions.

  For inflammatory and catarrhal  fevers Ferric phos-
phate is the remedy.
  Potassium phosphate is  the remedy for nervous
fever, characterised by high temperature, quick and
irregular pulse, nervous excitement, or great weakness
and depression, etc.

                  Exudations.

(a)  Fibrinous exudations require Potassium chloride.
(b)  Serous, poor in albumen—Sodium chloride.
      „    rich in albumen—Calcium phosphate.
(c)  Serous-mattery—Potassium sulphate.
(d)  Serous, tinged  with blood,  ) Potassium  phos-
      „    ichorous, foetid,      ]  phate.

     ^r^' tinged with blood, _   } Calciu™ sulphate.
  When a fibrinous exudation  in the subcutaneous or
interstitial  connective-tissue is not absorbed by  the
action of Potassium chloride, and suppuration ensues,
Silica should  be employed.  This promotes suppura-
tion, and in most cases matter  breaks through to  the
outside.  When  this has taken place, or the abscess
has had to  be  opened by an incision, the use of Silica
must be  continued  as  long as it is  indicated by the
existence of infiltrated parts in the abscess.   When
suppuration and discharge of matter continues in  the
absence of such parts, Calcium sulphate is then  the
remedy.  When the matter becomes ichorous and of
bad odour,  Potassium phosphate should be used. 
PNEUMONIA. RHEUMATISM.        35
  When a fibrinous exudation is  not dissolved by
suppuration, but has become hardened, Calcium fluo-
ride must be given.

  Inflammation of the Serous Membranes.

  In Meningitis, Pleurisy, Pericarditis, Endocarditis,
and  Peritonitis, Ferric phosphate is required  in the
first stage : for further treatment see under  " Exuda-
tions."

  Pneumonia—Inflammation of the Lungs.

  Congestion, pleurisy, pleuro-pneumonia, and Costal
pleuritis, all require:
  In the first  or  hypersemic stage,  Ferric phosphate.
For further treatment see under " Exudations."

                   Bronchitis.
  Ferric phosphate  in Bronchitis or inflammation of
the  bronchial  tubes  or windpipe (chronic or acute).
For further treatment, the same remedies apply as in
" Diseases of the Mucous Membranes."

      Articular Rheumatism and Gout.

  Acute Articular  Rheumatism and Gout require
Sodium phosphate.    This remedy applies also  in
chronic rheumatic-gouty swellings of the joints.
  Muscular  Rheumatism  must  be treated by  the
remedies  indicated  in the  paragraph " Rheumatic
pains in the limbs and back, etc."

          Diseases of the Kidney.

  Inflammation of  the  Kidney—Ferric  phosphate,
Potassium chloride.

  Disease of the Kidneys after Scarlatina—Potassium
sulphate.
  Gravel of the Kidneys—Sodium phosphate.

          Puerperal (Childbed) Fever.

  The specific remedy of this disease  is Potassium
phosphate.

                Typhus Fever.

  The specific remedy for typhus fever is Potassium
phosphate.  Low delirium or stupor require Sodium
chloride as secondary remedy.

          Typhoid or Enteric Fever.

  In typhoid the following remedies have to be  con-
sidered :—Potassium  phosphate,  Fcric phosphate,
Potassium sulphate, Potassium chloride, and Calcium
sulphate.  Compare " Typhoid adynamic symptoms."

        Typhoid  Adynamic Symptoms.

  When during an acute disease, accompanied by fever,
such as diphtheria, scarlatina, small-pox, and so on,
sopor (drowsiness) set in, or there be parched tongue,'
twitchings, watery vomiting, etc., Sodium chloride will
be required.  If there be sordes, a brown dirty-looking
deposit  on the  teeth,  putrid-smelling  stools, septic
bleedings, Potassium phosphate must be given.

                   Diphtheria.

  Ferric  phosphate subdues  the fever, Potassium
chloride the plastic exudation, deposit on tonsils and
throat, or false membrane. 
CROUP.  SCARLET FEVER.         37
  When vomiting of watery fluids, or watery diarrhoea
set  in, Sodium  chloride must be  given, or Sodium
sulphate when there are symptoms to indicate it, and
when the water vomited is greenish.
  Potassium phosphate is indicated in decidedly foul
gangrenous conditions.
  This remedy cures the phenomena of paralysis, which
often remain  after an attack of diphtheria: e.g., speak-
ing nasally, squinting, etc.
  Under no  circumstances should  other  remedies,
such  as Lime Water, Carbolic Acid, Iced Water, etc.,
be used along with these remedies, because thev may
interfere with the proper action of these salts.  Should
an affection of the larynx have set in, in consequence
of neglect or inappropriate treatment, Calcium phos-
phate or Calcium fluoride must  be given.

                      Croup.
  First of all give Potassium chloride.  If this remedy
does  not suffice, Calcium  phosphate or  Calcium
fluoride may be considered necessary as indicated by
the symptoms.

                    Dysentry.
  Ferric phosphate and Potassium chloride suffice in
most cases.
  Should delirium or  tympanitis supervene, and  the
stools have a putrid odour, then  Potassium phosphate
suits; as also, if there be no  symptoms of decay, but
pure blood is passed with the stools.
  For crampy, abdominal  pains, when warmth, pres-
sure and doubling up are agreeable, give Magnesium
phosphate.

          Scarlet Fever (Scarlatina).
  In mild  cases  Ferric  phosphate   and  Potassium
chloride are alone sufficient.—Malignant cases must be

 treated by reference to the remarks under the headings
 " Diphtheria " and " Typhoid adynamic symptoms."
   Post-scarlatinal Dropsyrequires Patassoum sulphate.

                    Small-pox.
   Potassium chloride is the principal remedy.   When
 adynamic symptoms arise, and those indicating blood
 decomposition, Potassium phosphate must  be given.
 Confluence  of pustules, salivation, and sopor,  require
 Sodium chloride.

                     Measles.

   The symptoms which accompany measles must in-
 dicate the remedies.
   Generally Ferric phosphate, Potassium chloride, and
 Potassium sulphate have  chiefly to be considered.

40      VERTIGO.   DEAFNESS.  MUMPS.
               Delirium Tremens.
   Most cases  are readily cured by Sodium chloride.
 Should the latter not suffice, give Potassium phosphate
 alternately.
              Vertigo (Giddiness),

 if occasioned by pressure of blood, is cured by Ferric
 phosphate; nervous  vertigo by Potassium phosphate.
 The coating of the tongue  must also be considered, if
 there be any gastric  (stomach) disturbance.

                       Ears.
   Ear-ache, noises in the ears  or dulness of hearing,
 arising  from  hyperemia (excess  of blood)  requires
 Ferric phosphate.
   Nervous affections must be individualised, and may

Potassium chloride.
  Deep ulcer of the cornea—Silica, Calcium sulphate.
  Spot on  the cornea—Sodium chloride.  The  spots
must be  sprayed or  moistened several  times a day
with a dilute solution of Sodium chloride.  The mole-
cules of this  salt which remain on the spot cause by
their hygroscopic nature  a gradual moistening and
absorption of the spot.

   In  chronic enlargement of the tonsils the proper
 remedy is Calcium phosphate.
   Inflamed Uvula requires Sodium chloride.
   Inflammation of Tongue.—If much swollen  and
 of a deep, dusky red, Ferric phosphate.   In most
 eases this will suffice.  If not, Potassium chloride.
 When  matter discharges—Calcium sulphate, Silica.

   Scurvy ; gangrenous—Potassium phosphate.
   Cancrum oris (canker of the mouth)—Potassium
 phosphate.
   Gums.—If the  gum be pale—Calcium phosphate is
 specially indicated : if it has a bright red edge, Potas-
sium phosphate is required. The latter medicine is also
 required in bleeding and haemorrhage from the gums. 
44      APHTHAE (THRUSH). VOMITING.
            Coatings of the Tongue.

  A white, not  slimy, covering requires Potassium
chloride.  Slimy coating, and small bubbles of saliva
on the edges—Sodium chloride.
  Tongue clean and moist, slimy—Sodium chloride.
  Tongue if  dirty  brownish,  greyish  green, with a
bitter taste in the mouth—Sodium sulphate.
  Tongue,  as  if Spread with  liquid  dark mustard,
brownish, and offensive breath—Potassium phosphate.
  Tongue  covered  with  yellow  slime—Potassium
sulphate.
  The coating of the tongue does not  always wholly
influence the choice of a  remedy in all affections of
the tissues.  It has, however, to  be  taken  into consi-
deration in those cases where I have taken note of it
in this volume.  If any one who is suffering from a
chronic catarrh of  the stomach, takes also another
(acute)  disease, the coating of the tongue will  not
always have that peculiar appearance which will in-
dicate the remedy suited to the acute disease.
  If any disease—particularly of a  chronic nature—
shows itself  without decisive symptoms,  then  the
coating of the tongue will, in most cases, guide in the
choice of an appropriate remedy.
  Aphthae and Stomatitis require Potassium chloride,
Potassium, phosphate; and Sodium  chloride  when
there is much  dribbling of saliva.
  Noma requires Potassium phosphate.

                   Vomiting.

chloride, and Sodium phosphate.
  Hawking up of white mucus—Potassium chloride.
  Vomiting of acid fluids or curdy masses—Sodium
phosphate.

                   Jaundice.

  In every case give Sodium sulphate first.  In most
cases of Jaundice this will suffice.   Next rank  Potas-
sium  chloride,  Potassium sulphate,  and Sodium
chloride,  and  have to  be given  according  to  the
secondary symptoms.
  When  it arises from  a  gastro-duodenal catarrh,
Potassium chloride and Sodium chloride will be re-
quired.  The coating of the tongue must  determine
the choice of either remedy.

       Pains  in Stomach and Abdomen.
  Gastritis.—Acute Inflammation of  the  Stomach,
with violent pains of the distended organ, vomiting,
and fever—Ferric phosphate.
  When  a  case has come too  late  under  treatment,
and  there  are symptoms of exhaustion, dryness of
tongue, etc.—Potassium phosphate will have  to be
given.
  Acute and  Chronic Pains of the Stomach, which
grow worse on taking food, or by pressing on the pit
of the stomach, and particularly when vomiting of
food occurs—Ferric phosphate.
  Spasms, cramping of the stomach, with clean tongue,
requires Magnesium phosphate.
  Pains  with  a crampy [spasmodic] tight drawing
lacing  sensation as of a band—Magnesium phosphate.
  Pains of the stomach, with accumulation of water
in the mouth—Sodium  chloride.   If this does not

altogether suffice,  there exists generally a coating of
the  tongue,  which  requires  Potassium sulphate  or
Potassium chloride.
   Pressure, and a Sensation of fulness, with yellow
slimy coating of the tongue—Potassium sulphate.
   Gnawing pains in the stomach, with flatulence [short
belching  of  wind],  affording no relief—Magnesium
phosphate.
   Colic, which is relieved  slightly  bv eructations by
doubling  up the body [bending double], rubbing, and
by hot applications, requires Magnesium phosphate.
   Colickly pain about the  umbilicus,  obliging the
patient to bend double—Magnesium phosphate.
   Flatulent colic of little children, which causes them
to draw  up their legs, with  or  without diarrhoea—
Magnesium phosphate; and if their beacidity—Sodium
phosphate must be given.
   For pains of indigestion, accompanied by vomiting,
—the nature of the ejected matter indicates the remedy.
   Gastric affection, with predominating acidity, heart-
burn—Sodium phosphate.
   Ulcers, gastric,  ulceration  of stomach—Sodium
phosphate.

                    Diarrhoea.

   Diarrhoea—watery slimy, transparent evacuations—
Sodium chloride.
   Diarrhoea—evacuations like  rice  water—Potassium
phosphate.
   Diarrhoea—putrid smelling—Potassium phosphate.
   Diarrhoea—watery, bilious—Sodium sulphate.
   Diarrhoea—mixed with blood or blood and slime—
Potassium chloride.
   Diarrhoea—mattery, or blood and matter—Calcium
sulphate.
   Diarrhoea—stools of undigested food—Ferric  phos-
phate. 
WORMS.  PILES.  DIABETES.        47
  Diarrhoea—caused  by excessive  acidity—Sodium
phosphate.

                      Worms.

  Sodium phosphate is of use in many cases for thread
or round worms, probably by destroying the lactic
acid which seems to be  necessary for the life of these
worms.  [After a course of this remedy for obstinate
acidity a dead  tape-worm was passed.]

             Haemorrhoids (Pileu).

  The  principal remedy is Calcium fluoride.  (See
p. 24.)  As  a  rule, besides the local  Haemorrhoids,
there are present disturbances in the function of the
liver, the digestive  organs, etc.; these stand  in close
connection with the former;  attention must  be paid
to those disturbances if a radical cure of haemorrhoids
(piles)  is to be ensured.
   Calcium fluoride, has  therefore to be taken alter-
nately with  another remedy, tbe  choice of which is
determined  by the characteristics of the  secondary
symptom.  The remedies which will have to  be most
frequently considered are :—Ferric phosphate, Sodium
chloride, Sodium  phosphate, Sodium  sulphate,  and
Potassium sulphate.
   Magnesium  phosphate dissolved in water and applied
externally or locally will relieve excessive pain.

                Diabetes  Mellitus.1

   Sugar must be decomposed into carbonic acid and
 water by oxygen which  is being liberated.  See p. 25.

  1 This disease was without its specific remedy in the Abridged
 Therapeutics untd I brought it in my Index before the profession.
  Boericke & Dewey, Philadelphia, have issued a book called "The
 Twelve Tissue Remedies," in which  they copy from my translation
 although copyright.   They give Dr. Schiissler as the authority,
 and  the quotations they make are from my Therapeutical Index,

The sulphates as carriers of  oxygen.   Perhaps Potas-
sium sulphate and  Calcium sulphate may also serve  as
remedies in  Diabetes.
 p. 54, but wrongly quoted.  Neither they nor  Dr. S.  seem quite
 clear on  what  I stated there  as  regards  the pathological  and
 chemico-physiological  conditions  which  underlie Diabetes,  else
 they would have given them correctly,  or w">uld probably  before
 this have  devoted some lines to this important and hitherto incur-
 able disease.   Tt may be interesting to some to know that breathing
 carbonic oxide can set up glysosuria.
   In my Index I  state that lactic acid (composed  of carbonic acid
 and  water) has  to be decomposed on its way to the lungs.   This
 we know is done  in healih by Sodium phosphate,  which, after  fixing
 loosely the carbonic acid, carries it to the lungs to be exhaled and
 exchanged for oxygen.   But where an excess of lactic acid is being
 decomposed, there arises also an excess of water, the elimination and
 regulation of which is controlled and  effected exclusively by Sodium
 sulphate.  If the liver is also at fault,  as some pathologists affirm,
 Sodium  sulphate  molecules again will allay any  such disturbance.
 Dr.  Charteris and others state that an uric acid  cond tion in which
 uric acid is in excess and deposited  in  the  urine always precedes
 the developed stage of  Diabetus mellitus.  Hence Sodium phosphate
 may be indicated  as a prophylactic.
   Sodium sulphate, the  specific remedy for Diabetes, not only regu-
 lates the waste water,  but under  certain conditions can give off
 additional oxygen to  the blood. Oxygen  so necessary for the pro-
 cess of decomposing  the sugar.  This sulphate is one of the salts
 which can serve as a  carrier of liberated oxygen of the blood.
   I  have lately given Ferric phosphate and Sodium phosphate to dia-
 betic patients before and after food as an additional tonic, and with
 very  good  results, and  Potassium phosphate as indicated in Thera-
 peutical Index, under  section No. 6. for sleeplessness, etc   The
 strict regimen in  diet  had  only to be insisted  on  for a  little
 time.  The cur. s  have been  complete  in each  instance.  Sodium
 sulphate was given as  the chief remedy.    Here dilutions are prefer-
 able without any sacchar lactis.
   An objection has  been made to  my giving  in  the Therapeutical
 Index Sodium phosphate for a certain  "Headache."  In  that  Index
 I give Sodium phosphate for headache which arises from taking thick
 sour  milk    (What objection can  be taken to  this ?)   Lactic
 acid is in excess in such milk, and Sodium phosphate is the cell salt
 which decomposes lactic acid, whether the latter  be in the intercel-
 lular fluid, the  blood corpuscles, the muscle, or nerve or brain cells.
 Those very depressing headaches which are frequently  located  on
 the fontanelles or at the back of the head, also those called "gouty
headaches," often affecting  the eyeballs, come under this category.
I have cured such and others by Sodium phosphate.

CATARRH.  COLDS.  COUGHS.          49
  I have used Sodium sulphate with success for this
complaint.   My experience is confirmed—
       (1) By two successful cures communicated to
           me from Scotland.
       (2) By a notice in  an  Italian  work,  by Dr
           Brentano,  saying   " II  dottor  Aegidi
           l'amministro  con pieno successo in un
           caso di  diabete  mellito," Dr Aegidi ad-
           ministered Sodium sulphate with complete
           success in a case of diabetes mellitus.

   Ooryza, Nasal  Catarrh, Cold in the Head.
  Cold in the head, stopped,  dry, stuffy, requires Potas-
sium chloride and Calcium fluoride.

slimy secretion—Sodium chloride.
  Secretion, yellow slimy—Potassium sulphate.
  Secretion, thick, mattery—Calcium sulphate.
  Ozcena requires Potassium phosphate internally, and
also applications of  the same on the mucous lining of
the nose, when the disease is seated in the membrane.
When the  disease is located in the periosteum  or in
the  sub-mucous connective tissue—Silica.   If the
diagnosis be  doubtful, the remedies should be  used
alternately.

                   Hoarseness.
  Simple hoarseness from cold—Potassium chloride ;
rarely Potassium sulphate is required.   When caused
by over-exertion of the vocal organs (as in speakers,

                    Asthma.
  The remedies  for nervous asthma are  PotassiAim
phosphate  and  Magnesium phosphate ;  the  latter
particularly  when troublesome flatulence  occur.  In
asthma, with much excess of mucus, Sodium chloride
must be used when the mucus is transparent or frothy;
Potassium chloride, when the mucus is yellow and
easily  coughed  up;  Potassium  chloride, when the
secretion is white ; and Calcium fluoride, when after
great  exertions  small yellowish lumps (plugs) are
brought up.   Sodium sulphate is the remedy when the
expectoration is green.

taken when there is vomiting of food.  According  to
the nature of the mucus there may have to be chosen
Potassium chloride, Sodium chloride, or  Potassium
sulphate.

   Some physicians, e.g., Dr. Kassowitz of Vienna and
Professor Hagenbach  in  Bern, use phorphorus1 in
minimum doses as a remedy for rickets.

   The above prescription is of  a strength correspond-
ing to  a third decimal dilution ; taken in  teaspoon-
fuls the quantity of phosphorus per dose is even less.
  When such a phosphorus solution is  used the cure
is not direct, but is effected in the  following way:—
The phosphorus molecules unite in the organism with
molecules of oxygen and form phosphoric acid.   The
latter unites with the molecules of the carbonate of
Jime, and then only  by driving off the carbonic  acid
becomes Calcium phosphate.
   This treatment agrees both quantitatively and in its
general character with that given in this book, when
Calcium phosphate  is  taken  in the  third decimal
trituration  or solution.
   But  as   some of the molecules of phosphorus or
phosphoric acid  find an opportunity  while on their

way to the rickety bone to combine with molecules
of various carbonates (e.g., of sodium, magnesium, or
potassium), perhaps only a quarter of the  dose of
phosphorus intended for the diseased bone reaches it.
The possibility of the carbonate molecules using up
all  the phosphorus may explain the failures which
occur in this treatment.   If Calcium phosphate itself
be administered there is less likelihood of failure, be-
cause it does not enter into combination with any of
the above-mentioned salts.

INTERMITTENT FEVER.  DROPSY.      61
          Ague.  Intermittent Fever.
  The remedy for ague is Sodium  sulphate.   The
applicability of this remedy is shown by the following
physiological or pathologico-chemical conditions.  In
patients suffering from  ague the quantity of  water
in the blood corpuscles and in the blood  serum is in-
creased, and consequently  less oxygen is  taken up by
the blood.  It has been shown (page 26) that Sodium
sulphate promotes the removal of excess of water from
the organism.  When by  its  action the proportion of
water in the blood corpuscles has been made normal,
the corpuscles are again  able  to take  up  the full
amount of oxygen and distribute it to the cells of the
tissues.
  As the tissues are  in  this way brought back from
their pathological to their normal physiological con-
dition, they are enabled to remove out of the organism
the cause of the  ague—be it marsh-gas  (miasma) or
bacteria (fungi).
  The quotidian (daily  recurring) and  the  terlian
fever require Sodium sulphate ;  the quartian, Sodium
chloride.
  Dry mountain  air, which is rich in oxygen, itself
can cure ague spontaneously, because the organism
takes in a large amount  of oxygen  and gets rid  of
much water by exhalations, evaporation.
  Ague patients must abstain from milk  diet, butter-
milk, eggs, fat, and fish.
                     Dropsy.
  Dropsy, if caused  by loss of blood or other vital
fluids—Calcium phosphate.
  Post-scarlatinal dropsy—see Disease of  the Kidney.
  Dropsy, oedema, of the areolar tissues has  to be
treated with Sodium sulphate and Sodium chloride.
  In  dropsy  occasioned by cardiac disease,  liver, or
other diseases, the remedy has to be  selected  accord-
ing to the prominence of the accompanying symptoms.. 
REFUTATION OF OBJECTIONS.
Different objections have been made by physicians,
who have arraigned my Abridged System of TJvera-
peutics before the bar of their judgment, which I now
take occasion to refute.
  The late Dr. Constantine Hering, of Philadelphia,
who informed the American medical profession ol the
tenor of my  therapeutical  system in a pamphlet en-
titled " The Twelve Tissue Remedies," is of the opinion
that I should also have embraced carbon and nitrogen
among my therapeutical agents.  It is, however, well
known that  neither carbon alone, nor nitrogen alone,
enter into the composition of tissue-cells.  Carbon and
nitrogen are integral parts  of the organic substances
which form the organic basis of cells.  The organic
substances are only influenced by inhaled oxygen and
by the inorganic salts.  Nitrogen and  carbon, there-
fore, remain useless as therapeutical agents.
  If, in the animal organism, nitrogen should, or could
be  wanting,  then albuminous  substances  would be
wanting, of which nitrogen is an integral part.  Albu-
minous substances can  only  be introduced into the
body by means of food.
  Dr.  Hering,  also, misses the organic acids in my
system of therapeutics.  How the organic acids, lactic
acid and uric acid, are  produced, is already noticed
in the paragraph on combustion or oxidation, page 3.
—No agricultural chemist would think of giving to a
sickly vine the organic acids of the grape, Decause he
knows that  an inorganic salt (Potassium carbonate)
will be the proper remedy. 
REFUTATION OF OBJECTIONS.       63
  Only indistinct conceptions  of the chemico-physio-
logical processes of the  animal organism  could have
induced Dr. H. to raise such objections.
  Dr.  H.  further  insists  that  spectroscopic  analysis
would, in course of time, discover several other  as yet
unknown substances in the tissues of the human body,
which would have to be incorporated among the factors
of the tissue-therapeutics.
  This assertion would seem as intended, in fact, to
render the completeness of my therapeutics unattain-
able for a long time to come.
  If, indeed,  spectrum analysis could yet  discover
substances which do contribute to the formation of
tissues, such substances  would, of course have to be in-
corporated among the agents of the tissue-therapeutics.
The inorganic cell-salts already known are, however,
able to perform, directly or indirectly, all the functions
of the organism.
   Another critic insists that there cannot  be a strictly
defined system of therapeutics  applicable  to all parts
of the world, since each quarter of the globe had its
peculiar diseases.   To this I must reply that  it is not
a, question of medical nomenclature ; but rather that,
in a system of tissue-therapeutics, only the  tissues
and their functional disturbances which are  to be
taken into consideration.
   If an  Ethiopian has  muscles, he  certainly has
Potassium chloride, Magnesium phosphate, and Iron
in them.  A disturbance of the molecules of Magnesium
phosphate in the muscles of an Ethiopian will produce
the same  phenomena as in those of a European.
   The same critic thinks that all diseases might be
cured with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen,
better than with my proposed twelve inorganic tissue-
salts.  These  four elements may, perhaps, suffice in
the hands of a necromancer, but they would  certainly
leave a physician in the lurch. 
64       REFUTATION OF OBJECTIONS.
  A third opponent, Dr.  von Grauvogel of Munich,
has been so warped by his persecuting zeal  as to fail
to notice  the contradictions in which  he is involved
by his own statements.
  He says that with local pathology and local  thera-
peutics no lasting good is accomplished ;  that disease
is not confined to any one part  of  the organism, but
that the whole organism is, in fact,  the disease ; even
tumours, evidently local, could  thus be understood.
So he speaks, and, in spite  of  it,  treats chondroma
with Silica, because this  substance is contained in the-
bones.  This, surely, is local therapeutics.  It cannot
be doubted, however, according to my way  of think-
ing,  that  local therapeutics are correct.   If one has-
dissipated irritation-hyperaemia  by  its appropriate re-
medy, the symptoms  dependent  upon  it—pain, fever,
general malaise—have disappeared.  If, in consequence
of an irritation-hyperaemia, an exudation has  taken
place, again local treatment is required in order to get
rid of the exudation, and  after its removal the second-
ary symptoms cease.
  If, as Dr. von G. asserts, the whole organism is the
disease, then death must, of necessity, be  the result of
every illness.   On page 38 of his  book, speaking of the-
Law of Similars, he says,—" From  these propositions
it follows that the curability or incurability of disease
does not shape  its course according to  its intensity
merely;  but  principally  according to  the quality,
quantity, and relation of the remaining healthy parts.""
If, according to Dr. von G., the whole organism is the
disease, how  can  there  be any talk  of " remaining
healthy parts ?"
  Dr. von  G.  further says that, according to Gorup
Besanez,  the  physiological localities of the chemical
constituents of the body were, on the whole, yet un-
known, therefore a physiological principle could not be
perfected.   If Dr. von G. shares  the views of Besanze,
what then induces him to adopt the expression, " re- 
REFUTATION OF OBJECTIONS.       65
lation of Silica to the bones," and consequently to use
Silica as a remedy in chondroma and rhachitis ?
   "All  means  of  nourishment are also  means of
function," says Dr. von G.   Soon after he thus expresses
 himself—" Therefore, one can speak of substances as
 means of function only so far as they are not constituent
 parts of the body."  How does that  harmonise ?
   Dr. von G.'s hobby horse, " Logic," seems  not to be
so well ridden by him as he himself  believes.
   That all inorganic means of nutrition are at the
same time means of function, is a proposition which
I  endorse.  It never occurred to me to undertake for
practical purposes a definite division of the cell-salts
into means of function and of building  material.  I
call them building material, in so far as they occupy
•a  place in the organic basis of the cells; and means of
function, in  respect  of  their  chemico-physiological
action.
   Dr.  von G.  says, "Schiissler demands  that  facts
should shape themselves according  to his  theories."
Not at all, honoured sir!  My  therapeutical system
has arisen between theory and practice constantly and
mutually controlling and correcting  each  other.  Not
I, but Dr. von G.,  demands that facts should shape
themselves according to his ideas.   To cure chancre
he uses Glauber salt, but the disease steadily  resists.
This, at least, is averred by physicians who have made
similiar experiments.
   Dr. von G., after a long  raissonement about means
of adaptation, imbibition,  effusion,  etc.,  insists  that
there can only be a system of molecular—not cellular
—therapeutics.   Despite  Dr. von G's disquisition, I
shall retain  the  term Cellular  Therapeutics, since I
consider it as more correct.
   For instance, you supply iron molecules to the blood-
•cells in need  of iron;  you  render  a service to the
respective cells, and such service carried  out for the
benefit of these cells may, without solecism, be termed
       E 
66       REFUTA TION OF OBJECTIONS.
a system of Cellular Therapeutics.  If one causes, by
therapeutical means, iron molecules to enter the cells.
through  the molecular  interstices of the  blood-cell
membrane,  the service  is rendered  not to the iron
molecules, but  to the cells.  To dispute whether one
should call it a system  of Cellular—or Molecular—
Therapeutics, is simply a piece of rediculous pedantry.

   MORE OBJECTIONS BY A HOMCEOPATH.

  REFUTED BY DR. SCHUSSLER, THE FOUNDER OF THE NEW OR
                 BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM.

          (Published separately some time ago.)

  Dr. von Grauvogl, retired Surgeon-Major of the Staff,.
1 CI., at Munich, has attacked my Abridged Thera-
 Jeutics a second time in the General Homoeopathic
 ournal. His first  objections  I refuted in the Third
Edition of my book; and on the Second I will throw
some light in these lines.
  Dr. von Grauvogl is the author of several homoeo-
pathic works: one of these, " The Fundamental Laws
of Physiology, Pathology, and Homoeopathic Thera-
peutics." has been criticised by Dr. Roth, mercilessly,
but not unjustly.  In Hirshel's Zeitschrift for Horn:
Clinic, under the title " Paraenesis ad aliena a medica
Doctrina arcenda," Dr. Roth  says there, that Dr. von
Grauvogl has  cemented together Mechanics, Chemis-
try, Rademacher, Priessnitz, and Fuchs' lung-idiopathy
with scholastic  Philosophy; by  so doing the  most
nonsensical book was compounded.
  Although his  book is  a collection—surium of the
kind above alluded to, Dr. von  Grauvogl maintains
the rudiments of my Therapy were  contained in it.
He is mistaken in this.  I never hesitated to give the
names  of those men from whose writings I drew my
idea.   If I  had  borrowed anything in any way from
Dr. v. G.'s work, his name should stand foremost with
an epitheton ornans and shine in my opusculum. His
elaborations were, however, entirely useless to me.   I
do not comprehend why he, as philosopher, should rise
against me with  so much ire.
  But  I will pass on to the points at which Dr. v. G.'s
attacks are aimed. 
68    FUNCTIONAL-REMEDY: ITS POWER.
  Dr. v. G. misses in my writings a definition of the
meaning " curable."
  If I had happened to be a philosopher newly off the
irons, he might have expected from me an attempt at
such a definition.  But my ordinary  common sense
tells me that every sensible man knows what is to be
understood by curable and uncurable.   It is not clear
to me why Dr.  v.  G. considers the  absence of the
thought of  such definition  a  kind of back-door or
loop-hole.
  Dr. v. Grauvogl, who likes to define, says:  " Thera-
peutics is  a science, a complete subordination of the
special to  the general, in natural laws, by which the
connections of the phenomena of each separate case
can be given and explained.  From this it is evident
that there can be no abridged science."
  This is  genuine pedantry.  In my Therapeutics, it
is all important practically to find out whether my
twelve remedies  meet all requirements or not.  This
cannot be done by aesthetic pnilosophising.   Dr. v. G.
thinks my Therapeutics would leave me in a difficulty
in cases of abnormal substitutions, e.g., when mucous
tissues are metamorphosed into bony or fatty tissues,
or when  muscular  tissues  are forming  where they
should not be.  My reply is : In these cases the func-
tional remedy is required  which  have  degenerated
and become abnormal of those tissues.   When a tissue
performs its function normally, no new formations can
develop in it.  It is requisite and necessary, therefore,
to correct the abnormal function of the above tissue
by means  of the  respective functional remedy.
   I do not know why Dr. v. G. considers himself justi-
fied to insinuate that he can give me a piece  of infor-
mation in these words: " May  it be told once for all
to Dr. Schussler, that  the deficiency of a substance
in the organism  can never be its own cause."  Have I
ever made a statement to  the contrary to this noto-
rious truism ? 
VIRCHOW: ON THE CELL.          69
  When I apply Potassium chloride therapeutically
for the cure of an exudating inflammation of the skin,
caused by boiling water, I know that  the irritation on
the skin from the hot water caused  a disturbance of
the proper  balance of the molecules of  Potassium
chloride in  that part in which they are biochemic
functionaries.
  Dr. v. G. asserts I had come into serious conflict
with  Moleschott,  and as proof of this assertion he
quotes this from " Kreislauf des Lebens," by Moles-
schott; " Physicians know how frequently  one has  to
change the course of action of the digestive organs, and
foremost that of the liver, before one is in a position to
offer iron successfully to the blood."   The serious con-
flict is a product of art of Dr. v.  G.'s desire  to criticise.
  As exact individualisation has been emphasised by
me as an indispensable requirement necessary in the
manipulation of my Therapeutics; it was not necessary
for me specially to say  that  ancemia arising  from
disease of the liver is curable  indirectly by means of
the functional remedy for the liver disease.
  Virchows  teaching v. G. supposes  me not to have
considered in the conception of  my Therapeutics.  In
support of this he  cites the following from Virchow:
—" The individual cell within a tissue is not being fed,
but it feeds itself; it abstracts from the nutritive fluids,
which are in its environments, the parts required by it;
and v. G. adds, i.e.," as long as they are healthy : when
diseased, that is, changed in any way in their molecules,
the commencement of acute diseases,  namely, fever, at
once proves that the diseased parts, yea the whole body,
can no longer take up nutrient materials, and it is
often unable to master those forced upon it."
  Dr. v. G. has forgotten I do not pretend or profess to
feed, but endeavour to correct errors of function (faulty
functions), and this task is and must  be as  easily per-
formed " at the commencement  of acute diseases " as
in a later stage. 
70   CAUSES OF INFLAMMATORY PROCESS.
  When sulphur is  used for tests  in repeated  large
doses, the organism will be found to exert itself to get
rid of the burden by the channel of oxidation.   Thus
a surplus of Sulphuric acid must arise, and increased
formation of sulphates, as well as an increased giving
off of carbonic acid.  In  the organism, processes take
place the same as in a chemical laboratory despite Dr.
v. G.  With mathematical formulas—which he likes
to parade—he may catch simpletons.
  What Dr. v. G. says about inflammations and hyper-
emia is partly indefinite or only partially pertinent.
" The cause of inflammatory processes is essentially a
physical or chemical alteration  of  the vascular walls
of the  blood-vessels respectively,  the  blood itself."
These are his words. As the word alteration means
nothing further  than change, he  should  have defined
more clearly  the changed vascular walls.  Alas! he
does not even know whether  it is a physical or a
ohemical  change.  Rideo quandogue bonis dormitat
philosophus.
  Dr. v.G. declares," That dilatation of the blood-vessels
did not  depend  on a diminution  of the tensile power
of their muscular circular fibres, but on a paralysis of
the nerves of the vessels."  By this he  has  only hie
one half of the  truth.  Dilatation of  a vessel can be
caused by paralysis of the nerves of the blood-vessels;
it can, however, also be the after effect of an irritation,
over-stimulation, to which the muscles of the vessels
were exposed.   Dilatation  of the first  kind extends
itself over a larger area of vessels; a dilatation of the
second kind may be more circumscribed, being depend-
ant on a small number of those relaxed muscular fibres
which are circularly arranged round the walls of the
blood-vessels.
  It is true that a hyperaemia need not  of neccessity
have an inflammatory exudation as a consequence ; on
the other hand, an inflammatory exudation may exist
without hyperaemia having preceded it. 
DISEASE SHORTENED BY THERAPEUTICS.  71
   When in  consequence of intense stimuli, or too
-strong  an  irritation whether internal or external, a
disturbance of the molecular balance occurs in the
molecules of the iron of the circular fibres, the vessels
dilate;  when too strong an irritation strikes the Potas-
sium chloride molecules of a tissue, an inflammatory
exudation ensues.
   I admit that hyperaemia may sometimes be of short
duration; but that it may also last for some time, every
practitioner knows.   That many  acute  diseases can
cure themselves, or, as is often said, can be cured by
Nature, is known to everybody.  But that their dura-
tion can be shortened therapeutically cannot be denied
either.  The possibility of Nature curing is frequently
■ quoted  by opposing schools.
   Dr. v. G. utilises the  possibility  of spontaneous re-
solution or disappearance of  a  hyperaemia, as  an
argument against my Ferric phosphate, and to a larger
-extent even against my entire Abridged Therapeutics,
where he fancies  he has discovered a  great many ifs
and  buts.  He even casts this as a reproach at me,
that several laymen in Hungary, not practitioners, were
-astonished at the effects of Calcium phosphate, which,
not I, but a Hungarian homoeopath, had prescribed
from reading my Therapeutics.
   If any one dares to say or do what does not agree
with v.  Grauvogl's views, on him he tries to imprint the
stamp of ignorance, and when he wishes to prove any-
thing he simply refers to the books written by himself.
This proceeding would be perfectly correct if Dr. v. G.
were possessed of infallibility instead of imagination of
infallibility.  Under these circumstances I do not feel
called upon to  " correct the error? " he imputes to me.
   He asserts that if I had but once proved one drug
on myself—for instance, Silica—I could not for  a
moment doubt that  every local  disease was only a
symptom of the  alteration  (change) of the entire
organism.  For by such a proof  he thinks I would 
72  LOCAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS.
 surely have experienced  that long before symptoms
 were perceptible in the bone-system, the rest of the
 whole organism had set up action against this substance
 by a number of symptoms.  Therefore Silica could not.
 be indicated locally except in the case of Chondroma.,
   To this my reply is: All the results effected by tests
 made with Silica can in no wise shake my firm belief.
 in the possibility of local Pathology and Therapeutics..
 Silica is a physiological means of function of the con-
 nective tissue.   The sphere of action of Silica is there-
 fore very large, and when given so as to study the
 action of this drug, it may produce symptoms in all
 the organs.   But it does not follow that in Chondroma,
 which has its seat in the framework of connective tissue
 around the bones, that a functional disturbance of the
 molecules of Silica in all the connective tissues of said
 organism must have preceded it.   It is more readily
 conceivable  that  an irritation, when set up in the
 connective tissue surrounding bone, could cause Chon-
 droma.   A proof to the contrary, made up of philo-
 sophical baubles, cannot hold good.
   In saying that what is peculiar to the whole, points
 with certainty to the peculiarity of the individual, Dr.
 v. G. expresses simply a well known platitude.
   Every shepherd knows that it would be impossible
 for him to recognise the individual  sheep  of his flock
 if he did know the peculiarity of sheep in  general.
   If, as Dr. v. G. declares, the whole organism were the
 disease—for  instance, in intermittent fever, chlorosis,
 dysentery, etc., the  whole of the bony framework, as.
 well as the crystalline lens, would have to  be diseased,
 also.  No one has, however, cataract or bone-disease,.
 chlorosis, or dysentery, etc., as inseparable concomi-
 tants of intermittent  fever; for the  crystalline lens-
 and bone-tissues are among the parts which are found
 to be left healthy in those diseases.
  As he will not suffer any  "double  meaning" in
science, he  says that  the conceptions of means of 
DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CELLS.       75
nutrition  and means of function cover each  other^
If two conceptions cover each other, they are equal
to each other.  Soon after he speaks of  the difference
between nutrition and function.  He also believes that
there are tissues which have  no functions  (do  not
participate in  function).   A tissue which  does  not
participate in function and is not functional is dead.
   If any one wishes to  study nutrition  and function,
he must not take Moleschott or Virchow as authorities,
but inquire of Dr. v. G.
   What, indeed, could one learn of Moleschott ?  Mole-
schott is, as v. G. says, only an author for the people (a
man whom writes for many), and v. G. has only a limited
circle of readers; whilst Moleschott is a Professor, an
academical teacher, and one of world-wide fame who
enjoys " a somewhat greater reputation in science than
von Grauvogl."
   Regarding the sublime  theory  of the connective-
tissue  channels, I  must appeal  to the writings of
Virchow, v. Recklinghausen, and Moleschott.
   Moleschott says, in the latest edition of his " Krieslauf
des Lebens ": " It is one of the grandest achievements
of modern times, to the knowledge of which Virchow
and v. Recklinghausen have paved the  way, that the
connective tissue has been raised from  the secondary
part, which at first was allotted to it, to one of produc-
tive  activity such  as was never anticipated.   What
appeared  formerly   only  designed  as  a protecting
covering or padding, appears  now as the bed of the
most minute and secret streamlets of juices or sap from
the blood to the tissue, and back from  these  into the
blood-vessels, and at the same time as one of the most
important nidi (breeding places) of new cells, which,
developed from  the embryonic early shapes, can  rise
to form the  most peculiar and special structures of
the body."   (Isomeric  transpositions,  differentiating
Albumen).
   In relation to this, I say, p. 10 of my Third Edition :
" As the connective-tissue channels carry the  nutrient 
74  OXYGEN: ITS DISINTEGRATING  EFFECT
fluid to the tissues on the one hand, they on the other
hand carry back into the circulation  the waste  or
debris of those tissues which have been broken up and
have undergone disintegration by the continuous in-
fluence of the oxygen.  Importation and exportation
taking  place  side by side, special connective tissue
■channels must exist for the purpose of  carrying the
supply and others  for carrying the waste.  For un-
ceasing traffic in two directions cannot take place on
the same set of rails."
   Dr. v. G., to whom the above-cited from  Moleschott
is surely unknown, confuses connective tissue channels
with capillary vessels.  He reproaches  me with not
being versed in this special line of literature.
   Those  questions  regarding  lactic acid and the
constituent parts of the ash of the tissues cannot be
settled definitely. Marchand and others consider lactic
acid, and  Bencke considers oxalic acid,  the cause  of
Rhachitis (Rickets).
   Sodium phosphate cures all such diarrhaea which
arises  from an excess of  lactic  acid.    In Rhachitis
{rickets) this remedy is useless.  Excess  of lactic acid
would therefore not seem  to be the primary agent  of
this disease.
   Dr. v. G., says: " When  a theory  is false, then the
practice resting on it must be false too."  The sentence
might perhaps be reversed.  If the practice be correct,
the  theory must be correct  too."   And many have
practically convinced themselves that  the  Indications
in my Therapeutics are correct.
   From the  following passage  in my first  article
.against Dr. v. G., he concludes that I must be an em-
piricist of the first water.  " He who does not know the
sphere of action of my twelve remedies in its full range
is not in a position to judge whether they can meet all
therapeutical requirements or not."  Dr. v. G.'s counter
statement is therefore a weak  one  if he infers that my
method is empirical.   Truly, the premises leading to 
NEW TREATMENT NOT EMPIRICAL.
75
such a conclusion do not lie in the above words, for in
them it is not stated in which manner I acquired the
knowledge of the effects of my twelve therapeutical
agents,  whether by  experiments or provings on the
healthy, or ex usu in morbis.
   None but a prejudiced mind, such as that of Dr. v.
G., could have seen in the words an indirect challenge
to allow himself " to  be led on to the slippery  ground
of empiricism by me."  As there is no lack of Doctors
who have regard to my Therapeutics in their practice,
it is immaterial to me whether the number be increased
or not by the unit represented by Dr. v. G.  His favour
or disfavour  will have no influence on  the future fate
of  my  Therapeutics.  If he thinks  that  "aspiring
youth " has to be deterred from following my teachings,
.and that this duty has been imposed  upon him, it is
questionable  whether  the " aspiring  youth" feel  so
little self-dependent that they require his guardianship
or, tutorage.   Wfro opposes Dr. v. G., is, in his ideas, a
stranger in the precincts  of logic.
   Moleschott says : " Thus logic became a formula of
scholasticism which the assiduous and eager students
consider a thorny round-about road towards develop-
ment and advance."
   But Dr. v. G. considers that if any one has not
crammed himself with a formula of thought, he is per-
fectly unfit to think.   With as much reason he could
have asserted that if  any one  does  not  know the
physical laws of hearing and  sight, he  must be blind
and dumb.  Experience teaches the opposite.  Indians
and other uncivilised nations can compete for acute-
ness of their organs of  hearing, etc.,  with the most
learned Professor of Physics.   Just as a healthy man
sees and hears aright without having learnt a formula
on sight  and hearing, so a healthy and sound man
thinks  aright without  having  impressed  upon  his
memory a formula of thought or an elementary book
■of logic. 
76  CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR SOUND MIND~
  Every sensory perception excites a thought, which
must be correct in itself and in the relation to another,.
as long as the organs of sense and the brain are normal
or healthy.  Regarding this assertion I find  myself at
one with Dr. v. G. in spite of himself, for he says if I
had tested the effects of  Silica on myself, my opinion
regarding it would  not  differ from this.  The errors
he imputes to me could therefore not simply rest on an
error of thought—even if they had been committed by
me—but must have arisen through want of experience.
It is plain, therefore, I could not have sinned  against
the formula of thought.
  Formulas of thought are, however, as superfluous as
a fifth wheel to a carriage.  For if a man were not able
to understand and order aright his own  thoughts, he
would be far less able to  understand printed logic, the
products of the thoughts of others.

CLINICAL  CASES.                77
   [The following numbered Clinical cases have been collected
from  various  Medical Journals, and from  the practice  of
qualified Medical Practitioners.
   It will be seen that most of the cases which Dr  Schiissler
has put on record here have been treated  by other medical
men.   These give conclusive proof of the merits of the Bio-
chemic treatment of disease.]
                   CLINICAL CASES.
   1.  April, 1879. M.K., aet. 16, has suffered for years from
periodically returning headaches.  The  pain is concentrated
in the right temple, and of a boring nature, as if a screw
were  being driven  in—as  the patient  expresses  herself.
Preceding this pain there is  a burning sensation at the pit  of
the stomach, bitter taste in the mouth, and lassitude.   These
symptoms  are only felt at night, or in the morning.   When
the attack comes on, the patient is quite unable to attend  to
any ordinary duties.   General vomiting of bile  follows, and
then improvement sets in.   Sodium sulphate—daily; as much
as a bean,  dissolved in water, and taken repeatedly, cured
the young  lady entirely.
   2. M. L., a gentlemen aet. 38, took a chill while in a state
of perspiration.   He suffered in consequence from  tearing
pains in the limbs, noises in the ears, with dulness of hearing
and  frontal  headache.  These pains were accompanied by
fever, and  although he had night-sweats they brought no
relief.   The appetite was poor, and the tongue covered with
a white coating.   I gave a small quantity of Potassium chlo-
ride—in water every two  hours.  A  rapid and general im-
provement set in, but pains and numbness in the feet were still
present.  Also thehabitual perspiration of feet werestill absent.
At this stage the patient received Silica—2 doses daily for a
week.   Perspiration of feet was re-established, and  on the
re-appearance of this, the rest of the ailments left hira, and
health was quite restored.
  3. May, 1879.   J. D., a man of 69 years of age, had been
complaining for several weeks of pains  in the  limbs, which
settled in the right leg, from the hip down to the ankle, but
were  worst  at the  joints,   being  of  a shifting nature__

intermittent—sometimes shooting and  darting  like light-
ning, causing the patient to change  his  position  frequently.
Warmth gives him relief.  He is unable  to leave his bed ; is-
almost in despair, thinking he  is dying.  Magnesium phos-
phate—a dose every  three hours.   The  improvement  on
taking this remedy was marked and rapid.   But whenever
he  stopped  with the medicine, he felt worse again.   By
continuing daily with  Magnesium  phosphate, a complete-
cure was effected.
   4. I was called to attend a girl 12 years of age.  She had
had, some time ago, an attack of rheumatic fever.  I found
the little patient, who had been taken ill the previous day,
in bed.   The joints of both knees were swollen, somewhat
red, and very  painful.   The joints of the vertebrae at the
nape of the neck were implicated, and every movement out
of the constrained position of the neck  and back was very
painful.  Her friends expected  that salicylic acid would be
applied, which they had already seen used, but I  give Ferric
phosphate—and Potassium chloride—alternately every three
hours.   Next day, to the astonishment of her friends, the
fever and pains were  less,  and  knees  were quite free from
pain.   Now I ordered Potassium chloride to be given alone
for the swelling, and the next morning on my return I found
all the  symptoms worse.  I repeated  the Ferric phosphate
again,  and there was a  rapid  improvement.   But in the
same degree as the pains were leaving and the swelling de-
creasing, spasmodic pains in the  abdomen set in.   There
was also an occasional vomiting of bilious matter.  As soon
as these latter symptoms came on, I ordered the little patient
some Magnesium phosphate dissolved in water, in frequent
sips, which removed all these symptoms in 24 hours.   Ferric
phosphate  and  Potassium chloride  were  continued  in  less
frequent doses.   Six days after my first visit the patient was
able to leave the bed, and was quite well.

from Diphtheria and Scarlatina rather easily, and was allowed
to be in the convalescent room.  Suddenly  she  began  to-
swell without any apparent cause.  Her face became puffy ;
the feet also cedematous to above the ankles.  Urine scarcely
decreased;  containing no  albumen.   No pain over kidneys
on pressure.  Pulse somewhat feverish ; but appetite, sleep,
and stools  still natural.   I  gave three different  medicines
—amongst   these,  Aconitum—without  success.    Dropsy
(amasarca et ascites) are increasing rapidly ; urine scanty ;,
only very small quantities occasionally, being slightly turbid,
and  containing much  albumen.  Whether any  epithelial
sheathings  were present was  not ascertained.  Kidneys were
now more  sensitive to  pressure.   Occasionally  delirious.
Sodium chloride—alone cured this case  in about a fortnight.

  7. In August, 1877,  a young man who had suffered from/
sciatica some years ago and had been in the habit of having
subcutaneous injections of morphia, developed a boil on the
seat.   This discharged freely and would not  heal.  When
at last it seemed to be  healed and was comparatively well,
the patient took cold.  While at a military review he was
caught in a heavy rain,  Suppuration began again, and this
time  the  discharge was  excessive.   His  mother  became
alarmed, as he was very weak, and had no appetite.  His
sleep was disturbed, and he felt a constant thirst.  I pre-
scribed Silica—a dose every  morning on an empty stomach.
After one  week  the mother was able  to furnish  the very
favourable  report:—" The  discharge  of  matter  has been
reduced so  much that at one time it seemed gone altogether.
The great thirst has left him, and his appetite has  returned ;
his sleep is sound, and  the shivery, chilly feeling he had has
completely  gone.   Silica—has here furnished a brilliant de-
monstration of its power over suppuration, with its charac-
teristic accompanying symptoms.    Dr.  GOULLON, Jr.

   8. Dr. F. of Also, Hungary, reports :—I was requested to
go into the country to see a man who had been suffering the
last  three days  from spasmodic convulsive hiccough.   He
was  lying  in bed.  Subcutaneous injections of  morphia,
friction with chloroform and  sinapisms  (mustard poultices)
were all of no use.  Although the  spasm was  mitigated for
two  or three hours, it returned with more violence than ever.
I gave him a powder  of   Magnesium phosphate—in half a
tumblerful of water.  After  the second tablespoonful  the
hiccough ceased  altogether, to the astonishment of all those
present.

pigeon's egg  disappeared  completely in about four weeks
under the use of Calcium fluoride.  Both old and new school
medicines have failed to cure.

failed, Potassium phosphate—and Potassium chloride—with,
and sometimes without, Sodium chloride, effected subsidence
of malignity, and hastened the cure.

   12. A very interesting case came  under my treatment,
which deserves the attention of the profession.   I was called
to a lady advanced in  years.  She had been suffering for
nearly five weeks from fearful attacks  of convulsive spasms.
During  the last  twenty-four  hours she  had had 30 attacks.
The spasms darted through her body like an electric shock so
that she fell to the ground.  The attack lasted a few minutes,
after which she felt well  enough, but rather exhausted.  The
sufferer did not venture to  leave her bed now,  afraid of
being injured.   She  had been treated  by her first doctor
with Flor. Zinci., Fowler's Solution, and friction, but with-

■out success.   When I saw  the  lady  I thought of trying
 Schilssler's functional remedies.   Knowing that  Magnesium
phosphate—and  Calcium phosphate—are the two prescribed
 for  allaying  spasms  (cramp), I chose the latter, Calcium
phosphate,  under these  circumstances.   Next day,  to the
 astonishment  of those about  her, I  found the old  lady
 walking about the room.  She met  me  with a smile, ex-
 claiming—"Ah, Doctor, my  spasms are cured."  And so it
 was.   She had not had another attack.
                                  Dr. FECHTMANN.
   13.  Renter, a  master shoemaker of Berlin, aet.  40, was
taken  ill, after catching cold, as he stated.  There was fever
and violent pains  in the right shoulder.   The first visit I paid
was on the third  day after he had been taken ill, Nov. 21st.
Temperature high,  pulse full and  quick, thirst, and loss of
appetite.  The right  shoulder was very red, and  sensitive
to  the touch.  He was not able  to  lie in his bed as  the
pressure of the pillows was unbearable.  He was lying on
the sofa,  supported with  cushions, so that the  shoulder
should be  free from  pressure.   I  gave my  patient Ferric
jphosphate  as much as would cover a sixpenny piece.  This
was dissolved in a large glassful of water, and a teaspoonful
of  the solution given  every hour.   Improvement was  felt
even after a few hours.  During the night the patient was
able to sleep, and  on  the  following day  the fever abated.
On the 25th Nov.  the patient was able  to move  the arm
pretty freely.  Nov. the 28th he tried to work ; but feeling
the weight of his hammer  too much, he rested a few days
longer, when he felt himself quite well.

   14.  March 2nd.—Dr.  Fisher  was consulted by a lady
.(enceinte) who was suffering from a cough which caused great
 inconvenience,  as  with every cough there was emission of
 urine.   Ferric phosphate cured her very speedily.   A short
 time ago the lady, under similar circumstances, was again
 troubled  with  a cough.   Ferric  phosphate this  time also
■cured her speedily.

  15. Dr. Kock, of Munich, reports :—In thirty-five cases of
measles which came  under my treatment, coryza and bron-
chial  catarrh  were very slight  in the promonitory stage.
Conjunctivitis and intolerance of light along with it  were
the most prominent  symptoms.  Within  a few days after,
the rash appeared, lasting five or six days, and  then dis-
appeared.   But either during  the blush of the rash or the
fading of it, painful swelling of one or both glands below the
ear set in.  The children again became  feverish, and  were
crying and moaning both  day and  night.   The remedy
which I now  chose was  Ferric phos.;  and according to the
violence of the fever, I  ordered a spoonful of the solution
every hour or two.   I gave it at the premonitory stage, and
when I saw that it proved very satisfactory, I looked for no
other remedy.  For this  glandular swelling, external redness-
and painfulness, I used  the same medicine, and  my  cases
ended very satisfactory.

  16. In September  last autumn I was  in the Highlands..
The dairymaid of a farmer there spoke to me, saying she had
hurt her thumb while sharpening a scythe.  The case proved
to be this :—The whole thumb of the left hand was swollen,.
and of a bluish-red colour, and very painful when touched,.
much inflamed, and there was a small wound at the extensor
side at the joint above the nail.  On  pressure there was a
white-yellow  discharge  mixed  with  white  shreds.   Both
phalanges were  easily displaced, and  a  peculiar noise was.
heard, which  I had observed before in similar cases.  This
fact made me  decide  on giving Calcium flouride.   The
medical man  in the village, whom the  farmer had consulted,
said amputation was the only thing that  could be done for
the case.  She took Calcium flouride—and some time  after,
the farmer had occasion to see me, wheu he informed me
that the servant's thumb was quite well.
  17. A woman, aged 56, from Simbach, who  always wore-
blue spectacles, came to see me, as she had become blind of
the right eye.   The cause and consequent suffering were as
follows :—Three years ago, on the 15th Jan., at twelve o'clock
noon, she was walking  from Arnstorfto Simbach.   The-

whole of the meadows were covered with snow, on which the
sun was shining brightly, causing a strong refraction.   Sud-
denly she felt a severe pain in the right eye, and immediately
discovered that she had lost the sight of it.  She took some
snow and held it over her eye, which she thought  did  her
some good.  On reaching home she sent for the  Doctor, who
put a leech  to the  right  temple, and gave her a strong
purgative.  She had  to keep her bed for three weeks.  The
pain subsided, but her sight  did  not  return.  Some  time
after,  she travelled all the way to Passau, to consult Dr. E.,
the occulist.  He gave a laxative and some  ointment to be
rubbed  all round  the eye (Ungnt : Hydrarg :).   As  the
ointment  affected  the gum  and  loosened  her teeth,  she
stopped using it, her sight being no better.   Later on, when
she heard that Professor Rothmund had operated on the
pastor of Landau for cataract, she went to see him.  " If this
medicine won't help you, you  will  remain  blind for life,"
were the Professor's words.   His prescription was Potassium
Iodite.  After having had  the prescription  made  up three
times, and using it steadily, she felt no improvement, and
was quite inconsolable.  With her right eye she saw  nothing
—all seemed  smoke and  mist; and  the other eye was be-
coming weaker and weaker from month  to month.  External
examination showed the conjunctiva intact, as also the cornea,
iris, &c.   All pointed to internal disease of the inner medium
of the eye.   I could see but little of the retina, as there was
a kind of mist over it, which seemed to spread from  the
vitrous humour over the back ground of the eye.   I intro-
duced the rays of  light in different directions, and by this
means I was better able to obtain sight of  the retina.  It
appeared dim and misty, the veins  were clearly seen forming
a dark  network.   In  some  places  there were distinctly
defined spots, some larger than others,  appearing to me like
the residue of extravasated blood.  The arteries were scarcely
visible, and seemed to me pale and more contracted than in
the normal condition.  The necessary therapeutic treatment
clearly indicated to  me was  to  produce absorption of the
exuded  substance, this being the  cause of the dulness of
sight.  According to Professor Rothmund's  opinion, inflam-
mation of the retina always arises  in the  connective tissue,
and as this exuded substance appears of a coagulating nature,

which no  doubt is fibrinous, and, as is well  known, can be
hypertrophied, and is capable of fatty degeneration, I found
that of the remedies I could think of, the most suitable seemed
to be Potassium chloride.—I now  gave  the  woman eight
powders, each containing two centigrams ; the powder to be
dissolved in half a wineglassful of water, a tablespoonful to
be taken night and morning.  A fortnight after, the patient
came back, saying " I don't  think I am any worse ; please
to give  me  some more of these powders."  She  received a
dozen, with the same directions.  One morning  she  called
quite early,  and  told  me in great  glee  that  on rising that
morning she could see the window-sash  quite distinctly.   I
tested her sight from  different distances, and found that she
had  really  improved.   " I can see pretty well through the
mist," she said.  Potassium  chloride was continued in small
doses, and in four months her sight was restored.
   18. June 16th.   Dr Kock writes :—A old woman came to
me, 72 years of age.  She had worn a green shade over her
eyes to my recollection since my younger  days, when as  a
student  I  spent my  holidays at Simbach with my grand-
parents.    This person  complained of a constant burning
sensation in her eyes,  causing a  continual flow of smarting
tears.  This commenced at eight o'clock in the morning and
lasted till sunset.   During the night it  was better.   She
had  much  thirst,  but little appetite.  Externally the con-
junctiva  palpebrarum was in a chronic state of inflammation.
On either side of the nose there  was excoriation and eczema
of the skin, caused by the  flow of  acrid tears.  The puntse
lachrymosa  were  dilated; but  the  tear ducts  were  un-
obstructed.    I  hesitated  whether I should  give Sodium
chloride or  Arsenic; but  Dr. Schiissler's special mention of
Sodium  chloride—in  regard  to  these excessive  lachrymal
secretions determined my choice, and I gave Sodium chloride
in water ;  one teaspoonful three  times a day.   In three
weeks the  symptoms all greatly subsided, and shortly after
entirely disappeared.

time before this a piece of wood had struck him in the eye.
He had been  treated for it;  had had purgatives,  leeches,
and cold water applications, and  now his sight  was quite
gone.   The particulars of the case were these.   The bulbus
was infiltrated through vascular engorgement.  The conjunc-
tiva was swollen,  and the eyelid also in an irritated and
inflamed condition. The cornea was dim, with a smoky appear-
ance of the anterior cbamber(i.<?., between the cornea and iris),
and some matter could be seen floating quite distinctly.   I
found no foreign body.  The subjective results were—severe
burning pain in the eye as if from  a foreign body, and con-
tinuous  flow of tears.   The man had to keep his eye tied up.
His appetite was good,  and pulse normal.   As to thera-
peutic treatment, I had evidently to deal with two different
affections—Hypopion (matter in the eye) and conjunctivitis.
   First  of all,  I gave Ferric phosphate,—every two hours,
and in a week the burning pain and watering of the eye were
less.  One week after this the man complained that his sight
had not improved.   Now, I had the task of absorption of the
matter before me, as well as the clearing of the cornea.   To
meet the first  condition I gave Hep. sulf., but  after a  fort-
night I could recognise no special progress.  I felt rather in
a  fix  with  the case,  as  absorption would  not take place.
Remembering an  expression of Dr. Quagleo, at M., that he
considered Schiissler's Calcium sulf. a  still  more  powerful
medicine, I  gave  three doses of  Calcium sulphate—to  be
taken in water.  Scarcely a week after, the man came to me
greatly delighted, saying  that he  could see gleams  of light
in the right eye.  Positively, I found the cornea less cloudy,
and could observe that some of the matter had been absorbed.
Whenever I find improvement certain, I decrease the dose.
I now gave him a dose only night  and morning.   In three
weeks absorption was  complete, and dimness of the cornea
quite removed, and his sight restored.  Besides this, all the
inflammation of the conjunctiva was also cured.

disappear altogether.   Shortly after its disappearance the
patient had slight conjunctivitis with swelling, which Potas-
sium chloride soon cured.
  21.  At a  Meeting of Medical Men at  Schaffhausen,
Professor  Dr. Rapp said :—" In my opinion the greatest
merits of Dr. Schiissler's method lie in the introduction of
Potassium phosphate and Magnesium phosphate.  In ordinary
stomatitis, with swelling  of  the gums, deposit on the teeth,
and foul breath, Potassium phosphate—has given very satisfac-
tory proof of its value."
  22. In Asthma, when the patient's  attack comes  on after
taking food, and his colour  becomes bad, or  when  there is
rapid emaciation  or the eyes appear sunken, Dr. Rapp re-
commends the Potassium—remedies.
  23.  December, 1879.   Dr.  Criiwell reports on inconti-
nence of urine :—When I became acquainted with Dr. Schiis-
sler's preparations, I was very anxious  to  test the  effects of
Potassium phosphate,  as Dr.  Schiissler  recommends this
against paralysis and  paralytic conditions.   Whoever has
been occupied  with the study of psychology is  naturally
ready  to  suspect pai-alysis  everywhere.   I acknowledge I
may have given Potassium phosphate too frequently, as I was
desirous to find out what it could do.   For various  reasons it
led me to give it for incontinency of urine.  I gave three to
four times daily in a little water.  In five cases, two of which
I treated without good results, PotassiumphospJiate—brought
about amazingly rapid  improvement.   With a young girl of
seven I had until lately to repeat the remedy every time it
was given up, as  the incontinency always returned when it
was discontinued.   The most successful case was that  of an
old  gentleman of  sixty.  No doubt in this  case  existed a
sub-paralytic condition of  the sphincter muscle.   Some
months after treatment he  called back to say he was  per-
fectly  cured,  but  desired  to have  some of  the  powders,
Bimply by way of precaution.

   24.  A lady, 29 years of age, of sanguine temperament,
with rather high colour of face, has been suffering  the  last
five years from the following indigestion troubles, which she
contracted by a draught of very cold water whilst in a state
of heat and perspiration :—She has no desire to eat; great
dislike to  milk.  After food, nausea and  vomiting  of food,
which is  so acid that it sets her teeth on  edge.   She  can
take nothing sour.   Meat, and also salt herring, cause much
pain, and so do cake and coffee.  The sickness and  retching
• occasionally come on before  breakfast; otherwise only after
food.   To  this is added Cephalalgia.  She feels a beating
pain in her forehead and temples—formerly on the left,  now
more on the right side.  This  pain is most violent.  Cata-
menia appears  every  three  weeks, with  much loss ; drag-
ging  pain in lower abdomen  and  lumber region.    The
motions are normal, the sleep is disturbed by anxious dreams,
and feels in the morning as though she had been beaten.
In the evening she feels oppressed and swelled, so that she
'has  to loosen  her  dress;  she cannot  wear it  in the least
tight.   Her pulse is accelerated 100 per minute.  As a  girl,
she was quite healthy, and had never suffered from  anaemia.
On the whole, the  lady was not much emaciated,  in spite
•of her ailing so long.  This was the description the patient
gave of her case.  The leading symptoms  of this  case led
me to choose  iron.   I ordered  her a dose of Dr. Schiissler's
. saccharated trituration of Ferric phosphute—to be taken be-
fore meals, about the size of a bean, three times daily,  When
I saw her again she was able to give me the very satisfactory
report that her ailments were cured.        Dr. MOSSA.
   25.  March,  1880.   Dr. Mossa,  Bamberg,  reports :—
 Towards the end of last year  I  received a letter with the
 following details, and asking me to forward some medicine :
 —" My boy, a child of seven, hitherto  healthy and strong,
 has been suffering from pains in the stomach for some weeks.
 Latterly he has  vomited all his food, sometimes immediately
 after taking it, and at other times not till during the night.
 The child  has now become very emaciated.   Last week he
 was frequently  fevered.  This has, however, not  returned
^since taking the medicine our doctor here has given him. 
88                 CLINICAL CASES.
The boy complains of much exhaustion."   To form a strictly
scientific  diagnosis of the case on such information  was--
clearly  impossible.   But  as it was not  convenient for me
personally to examine the case, I  had to do my best with.
the details furnished.  The nature of the abdominal pains-
pointed to swelling and  enlargement of the organs of the
viscera—liver,  spleen, <fcc.; also the  feverish attacks, pro-
bably subdued by  quinine, and the  vomiting of food, all
coincided  with my surmises.   As to the selection of the
medicine I hesitated considerably,  and then  decided to give
Ferric phosphate—twelve powders; one night and morning..
The report some time after was very favourable.   The fever-
had not returned;  the vomiting of food and pains in the
stomach had quite  ceased soon after taking the medicine.
The little fellow was feeling  so  much stronger that he-
attended school again.
  26.  Dr. Goullon, jun., who used Potassium chloride—with;
much success in a swelling of the feet and lower extremities,.
adds the following particular indications for its use.   The
remedy in question appears indicated in chronic persistent
swelling of the feet and lower limbs, when the swelling is soft
at first, afterwards becoming hard to the touch, without pain-i
or redness.  It is, however, itchy; and at one stage may be
termed snowy white and shining.  Lastly, the swelling be-
comes less perceptible in the morning than in the  evening ^
but may acquire such dimensions as to cause great tension,.,
with a feeling as if it would burst.
  27.  A case from a contributor may here be mentioned,.
which  was cured by Potassium  chloride:—A lady, Mrs B.t
suffering from swelling of the leg below the knee, had been»
seen some months by her doctor who had poulticed it, andf
had opened  it with the lancet; but there was no discharge.
She was unable to walk.   It  was then painted  with Iodine
without effect; then bandaged to reduce the excessive hard
swelling, and cold water poured over it thrice a day.  Some
parts were blue-looking  on removing the  bandage.   It felt
cold  and very hard, and looked as if ready to burst; almost-

twice its usual size.  Warm fomentations and  Potassium

leg in three weeks.
   28.   July 29, 1879.  From  the reports  of a Medical
 Congress  at  Dortmund, by  Dr.  Stens, junior :—I should
 like to report on  a  case  of  rheumatism,  which  was
 cured  by  Ferric phosphate  in  a  very  short time,  after
 having tried several of the  most reputed remedies which
 seemed indicated.   A lady of about forty-two years of age
 (catamenia normal, though scanty), had been treated by me
 for the last few years.  She suffered from disgestive derange-
 ment,  and sometimes from violent attacks of megrim.  This
 lady awroke  one morning with an acute pain in  the  right
 upper  arm and region of right shoulder, being of  a  teariug
 nature.  She had walked the previous evening through a
 damp meadow,  getting her feet wet.   The pains were worse
 if she  moved her arm  quickly;  not as bad  on moving it
 very gently.   She  was therefore careful to  use  gentle
 motion.  The parts affected were  painful on being touched.
 Several nights  perspiration had been  excessive, and after-
 wards  made its appearance every morning  between two and
 six o'clock, when the pains were always worse.   The patient
 complained also of a pain in the right hand and powerless-
 ness, which prevented her from lifting anything heavy.   She
 often felt rather exhausted, and  had to lie down.  I  gave
 her no  less  than five  remedies, which seemed to suggest
 themselves, but without success.   From the lady's anaemic
 condition, and partly Dr. Schiissler's recommendation, made
 me think of iron.  I prescribed his own preparation of Ferric
phosphate—as much as would cover a sixpence, to be taken
 night and morning.   The result  was, that after taking the
 medicine for six days,  the pains, with  their acompanying
 symptoms, did  not return, even though soon after this  wet
 weather set in,  when she had generally felt her pains to be
 much worse.             ------
   29.  Report from the Archives of Medical Men of the
Rhinelands and Westphalia :—Dr. Brisken mentions three
cases of rheumatic fever.   One  case  was  that of a book-
binder, middle  aged, whom Dr. Brisken had  treated threes

years previously for this  malady.   On  that occasion his
recovery took  from eight  to  ten  weeks.   The  patient was
again attacked in  the joints of the hands and knees, when
he received Ferric phosphate  every hour;  and as the fever
had  abated, Potassium chloride was  given  the  same way.
On the fifth day he was able to return to his work.
   30. The second case was that of a gentleman, aged 70.  He
had acute rheumatism in the shoulder and elbow joints.  He
had  been cupped, which made him worse.   His joints were
wrapped in waldwolle (turpentine wool) with no effect.  He
had not  been in bed the last  two  nights, as on lying down
and getting warm  the pains were worse.   On the third day
he came under  Dr. Brisken's treatment.   After giving him
Ferric phosphate the fever ceased in a few days, after which
Potassium chloride was given.  In a  short time complete
recovery resulted.  When these remedies do not cut short the
attack, Sodium phosphate must be given as chief remedy.
  31. To a third case Dr. Brisken was called on the eighth
day after seizure.  Some of the joints were swollen, and the
patient had not been able to stay in bed a single night.   In
the morning he received Potassium chloride—with such good
results that during the next night  in he was able to stay in
bed, and in twelve days was completely cured.
   32.  Dr. Orth relates :—Elizabeth  F., a widow, aged 70,
 consulted  me on April 5th, on account of an  epithelioma
 seated on the right cheek, reaching from the lower eyelid to
 the nostril.  It was almost  circular, and about the size of a
 florin.  The epithelioma had existed for some years, and was
 at the stage of forming an ulcer, with hard base and callous
 edges.  I ordered Potassium sidphate—a powder every even-
 ing, and  lint saturated  with a lotion made of  Potassium
 sulplmVe for external application, to be changed frequently.
 On May 6th I noticed that the ulcer had visibly diminished,
 and on May 23rd the ulcer  had  cicatrized  to the size of a
sixpenny piece.   A few days later the lady left to return
/'home, and I regret I  have not heard from her since.

   33.  William W., a factory worker, came to me on Sept.
the 4th.  He suffered from epithelioma, which was  situated
-on the right side of the nose, almost immediately below the
corner of the eye, and about the size of a two-shilling piece.
The eye itself seemed to be sympathetically affected, whether
through the irritation of the discharge, which might have
found  its way into  the eye  from the edge of the eyelid,
which, however, was  not greatly destroyed.   Be  that as  it
may, there were  conjunctivitis palpebrarum and bulbi, with
dulness of the cornea.  The ulcer at the side of the nose
had existed  for four years.   At  first there was a slightly
red spot, which was a little raised  and swollen.   Later on it
became covered with a horny-like scab, which after a time
fell  off and  left  a sore.  This spread slowly, but  steadily.
The patient had through the whole time of its existence con-
sulted a great number of doctors.   He had also been treated
for two months  by  a specialist for  the  eye, after  it had
become  implicated ; but all without effect.   Potassium sul-
phate—was now  given him a dose night and morning ; and
externally a lotion of Potassium sulphate was used.  After
only a few days the  inflammation disappeared.   The ulcer
began  also to heal under the  steady treatment.   By the 8th
of October, the sore  had cicatrized so that only a speck was
left, when the patient was able to  resume  work again on the
6 th of October.
   34.  The following is the case of a lady, aged 44.  Dr A.,
of Arnsberg, writes :—I saw, on the 6th of February, a lady
who was suffering from mental derangement.
   Religious  melancholia  was at the root,  although before
this occurrence she had not inclined to religious excitement.
She now declared she  was lost  for  ever, lamented, cried,
wrung her  hands, and  tore her  clothes, or pieces of paper
which were laid about to prevent her tearing her  garments.
She did not know those around her,  and was  unable to
sleep.   Her  eyes  had an unconscious stare, and frequently
it required two people to hold her  down.  Only by holding
her nose and by force, a little food or medicine  could be put
•down her throat.  I prescribed Potassium phosphate—as her
condition, though one of excitement,  was pathologically one

of depression, to which Potassium phosphate is suited.  Dr^.
Schiissler says in his book :—"A functional disturbance of the-
molecules of this salt causes in the brain mental depression,
showing itself in irritability, terror, weeping,  nervousness,
&c, as well as softening of the brain."   She took Potassium
phosphate with excellent results.  A former experience gained
by this remedy led me to select it.
   On  that occasion  it  was in  the case  of  an old man
aged  eighty.   He  suffered  from  mental derangement,.
which showed itself in the form of intense Hypochondriasis
and Melancholia.  He was tired of life; but had  a fear of
death.   For weeks he had been treated  to  no purpose with
many remedies apparently called for, as Nux vomica, Aur :
Bromide of Potassium in allopathic doses.  But  he  was
rapidly cured by the continuous use of Potassium phosphate.—
Even after eight hours from the commencement of the treat-
ment, a certain feeling of calmness was experienced, and that
night he had a quiet sleep.   I had, therefore,  no  reason to
regret   the treatment  I  selected,  as  the  improvement
continued steadily, so that on the 25th of February I discon-
tinued my professional visits.
   I have seen my previous patient frequently, busily engaged
in her  home with her usual cheerfulness,  and she speaks
quite calmly of her past illness.
     From an Address  given by  Dr. Schlegelman
                      at R., 1875.
  35. A. S., the  child of a post official visiting here, was
taken ill with  an attack of very slight scarlatina.   The rash
had  disappeared  after scarcely  twenty-four hours.  The
throat symptoms,  at first threatening to be severe, dis-
appeared in three or four days.  On the seventh day almost
complete retention of tirine set in, as in twenty-four hours
only a very small quantity was passed, although  the child
drank a good deal.   The urine contained some  albumen,
the feet  were  swollen, the abdomen  very  much distended.
As the child was  all this time in high fever, and at night
delirious, I advised the parents on my visit on the morning
of the  eighth day  to consult a  second  physician.   Dr.
Gerster,  who  was  called  in  to consult with  me, agreed 
CLINICAL CASES.                  93
■completely with my diagnosis.   When I told him that I had
not had any  results  from any of the  medicines, such as
belladonna, cautharides,  and  arsenic,  we  agreed  to give
Potassium chloride—every two hours a small powder.   In the
evening the little one was already better;   She had  passed
a tolerable quantity of urine free from  albumen ;  the pulse
Bteadier, the skin moist.   The following night the little girl
slept quietly for several hours.   In the  morning almost free
from fever, and could be considered convalescent.  We con-
tinued the use of Potassium chloride, and a few days after
she was able to return home perfectly well.
   36.  A boy W.T., aet.  11,  had been treated here by Dr.
Fuchs for  acute  inflammation of the  bowels.   During the
course of the disease I had been called  in.  When  convales-
cent we had allowed him to return by rail to his home at B.
A week  after he  contracted there inflammation of the peri-
toneum,  with high fever and acute pains.   My  colleague
Fuchs and I prognosed the case as rather  hopeless, as  he
had been so much reduced by the disease he had just passed
through,  being  constitutionally delicate.    Having found
atropine, aconite, etc., as well as strapping, of no  avail,  we
decided upon Ferric phosphate—as a last resource.   A dose
of about ten grains per hour.   The effect was a  brilliant
one.  The fever abated ; the pains decreased rapidly.  This
medicine we continued till the fever had  quite subsided, and
profuse perspirations commenced.  At this  stage  we gave
Potassium chloride—which  caused  the absorption of the
rather profuse effusion.
   37. A very nervous lady,  26 years of  age, who suffered
continually either from headache, toothache, face ache,  and
pains  in  the limbs,  or  spasms, cramps of the stomach,
indigestion, flatulence, and  colic, was tormented day  and
night with a spasmodic cough, suppression of urine, want of
sleep, and so on.   In short,  every  day she complained of
some trouole or other, and in reality suffered from it.   This
case  almost  brought me into  despair.   All my  exertions
were in vain.   All the best remedies known  left me in the
lurch.  Almost every day a letter or telegram informed me

CLINICAL CASES.
she was getting worse, and summoned me to call.   I  had
the happy thought of looking at  Schiissler's book.  I found
under the head of Magnesium phosphate all her symptoms
grouped together.  I gave her this medicine, and from that
moment we both had peace.   " This medicine has done me
no end of good," she said.   And  although formerly she had
to keep her bed for weeks, she  soon after was able  to go
into the  garden, and  later on visited a  watering-place.  I
had to give her, however, plenty  of the good remedy  before
leaving.                                       Dr. F.
  38.  A young lady of seventeen, M.M., consulted me on
account of an obstinate acrid leucorrhoea.   I tried the whole
series of remedies indicated for  such cases.   All were with-
out effect, so that I could not but  wonder at the patience
and perseverance of the patient whom I  saw once  a week.
In this case Schiissler  again helped  me out of the dilemma.
Potas. chloride effected a quick and permanent cure.   Dr. S.
  39.  In the year 1875 Dr.  Schlegelman  reports from
Regensburg :—D. A., aged 20, a delicate lady, who suffered
in her childhood a good deal from scrofula, was attacked
last winter by a severe pain in the back, in consequence of
catching cold.  The third to the fifth ribs were very sensitive
to pressure.   Violent trembling of the right foot, and at the
same time of the right arm set in, the moment she attempted
to move  the  arm or extend the  hand, and  thus made  all
work impossible.  The patient was all the more depressed
about this, as in her vocation she had a good  deal of writing
to  do.    I  gave   my  remedies—pulsatilla,  rhus.  tox.,
belladonna, nux vomica, platina, etc., all without effect.   I
sent the  young  lady into  the  country;  her  condition
remained the  same.   New remedies had  no better results.
At last I thought to have found  her remedy in  zinc, met.,
as I had  heard  nothing from  her for four weeks.   How
astonished was I  to find my patient, whom I thought cured,.
entering my consulting room on 30th Sept. trembling worse
than ever.
  On my  inquiry why she had not called sooner, she told
me somewhat timidly she had gone to Mariabrunn to see a

herbalist, and used the  cure  during the time.  The result,
as I could easily see, had not been successful.   Consequently
she placed herself  under my  treatment again.  I told her I
was willing  to  treat her,  and opened Schiissler's Therapy.
I chose Magnesium phosphate—and had no reason to regret
my choice, for after the first few doses  (three times a  day,
ten grains) a decided  improvement was noticed, of  which I
heard on the Uth October, when I saw her again.  At this
date not even a trace of the trembling could be observed.
  She had written repeatedly after  this, and even then had
experienced no trembling whatever.  The cure was complete,
as up  to date she  had been  doing all kinds of needlework
and a great deal of writing, without any recurrence of  the
affection.
  40.  Dr. Schlegelman writes:—Jan. 1876.  I was attacked:
with  Muscular rheumatism the latter part of November,
travelling by rail, sitting close to the window of a draughty
carriage.   My whole right side  was affected going, and on
returning the pains were  very  severe ; especially worse on
every movement I made.  Bryonia eased me temporarily.   I
only reached home at midnight, and had a very bad night.
Bryonia was of little use now.  I applied the electric current
next morning repeatedly, but it was of no avail.   I then took
a pinch of the  Ferric phosphate—and, as if by magic, the
pains disappeared, and did not return.
  41. Dr. Fuchs, of Regenburg, reports.-—In August, 1875,
I cured a lady 40 years of age, who had suffered for a con-
siderable time from an effusion in the bursa of the knee-cap.
Twelve  doses of Calcium  phosphate—two doses per diem,
according to Dr. Schiissler, removed this  chronic condition
of housemaid's knee.
   Dr. Schlegelman reports the following seven cases:—
  42.  L., of  Regensburg. a  strong  healthy man of  26
years of age, had taken cold during a state of perspiration,
and  contracted acute rheumatism of the joints.   At first
the right shoulder was attacked.  The patient had violent
pains and high fever.  Bry., which  seemed decidedly indi-

 cated here, had no other effect except that  the pain on the
 next morning had changed its seat, and had appeared in the
 left knee.   In this way he continued for several days, under
 the use of various medicines.  Either  the one or other of
; several  joints were affected.   The  most distressing pains
 continued day and night, and evidently  the patient  was
 greatly reduced.  At last I decided to test Schiissler's medi-
 cine.   I gave Potassium sulphate.—The  result was very
 favourable.  The wandering pains ceased changing their loca-
 tion, and the pain confined itself to the right shoulder again.
 but was far less violent  than before.   Under the continued
 nse of this medicine, the fever and  pains gradually disap-
 peared.   Sleep and appetite returned, and no other joints
 were implicated.  Eight  days after giving the first dose of
 Potassium sulphate, the patient was  dismissed as convales-
 cent.  No relapse occurred.
   43.  I have made very little use of Dr.  Schiissler's Potas-
sium phosphate,  but have, notwithstanding, effected a few
very interesting cures.
   A woman aged  64, came under my treatment, who had
been for many years treated without success.  She had taken
steel baths, a great many steel pills and drops, and quinine.
She complained of severe vertigo, felt mostly on rising from
a  siting  position, and  on looking upwards.   She was con-
stantly in dread of falling,  and did not venture to leave her
room.  I gave her all the usual remedies without any benefit.
At last I gave her, in May  1875, two  doses daily of Dr.
Schiissler's Potassium phosphate.—I had the pleasure of see-
ing a rapid and decided cure following this.   The patient
can  attend to her domestic duties ; she  can go  out alone,
even  to distances,  and is  almost completely  cured ot her
painful sensation of giddiness.                    Dr. S.
   44.  I have  hitherto  only given Sodium phosphate  in
 scrofulous subjects, and only then when my old  remedies
 calci. carb., etc., failed.
   One case was particularly striking on account of its being
 cured so rapidly.    In May last a little girl of eight was
■fcrought to me who suffered from severe  conjunctivitis, with

:great dread of light.   She had  been treated for some time
 by an ordinary practitioner, but without effect.   I  ascer-
 tained that her eye affection dated from the time  she had
ihad measles some years previous.  Calci. carb. and other
 medicines  proved ineffectual.    The enlargements of the
glands of the neck, and the creamy secretion of the eyelids,
 Jed me to try Sodium phosphate—of which I administered a
 dose three  times daily.    A week later on, the child was
 (brought to me, her eyes bright and perfectly cured.

   45. A landed proprietor, 44 years  of age, wrote  to me a
jfew weeks ago—" The medicine I  have  taken very  steadily,
 and for a long time attended strictly to my diet.   In spite
■of this, my trouble is  not  better; I may almost say  it has
Jbecome worse."
   The conditions were these:—
   1.  I feel almost constantly a taste as of bile.
   2.  My tongue is covered with a curdy, bitter coating.
   3.  During the day, especially after food, I  suffer from
■eructations of gases, which have either a bitter  taste or are
tasteless.
   4.  My complexion  is rather yellow.
   5.  The  appetite very poor;  no thirst.   My favourite
(beverage, beer, is distasteful to me.
   6.  I incline to shiver, and am somewhat faint.
   7.  My head is but little involved, but  feel a constant
[pressure over one eye.
   8.  Stools  are normal, but scanty, on  account  of spare
-diet.
   The whole condition discloses  that  I  have  bile in the
 stomach.    Thus far  the  patient's own report.  To  this I
 may add that the patient  in question had already taken  by
 my orders nux.  vom.  and pulsatilla.   He has used  the
 •waters of Marienbad the  previous summer on  the recom-
mendation of another medical man.
   I sent him now Dr. Schiissler's remedy, Sodium sulphate—
 with the request to take daily three doses  of  this powder.
The gentleman came six or seven days later to my consulting
room to  thank me for  the valuable medicine.   The powder,
 he said, has really worked wonders.   All my ailments have*
•disappeared as if by magic, and I feel at last perfectly welL

CLINICAL  CASES.
  46. I have used Sodium chloride repeatedly with excellent
results,  and especially in obstinate cases of  salivation.  One
case in  particular  was cured with remarkable rapidity by
this remedy.   A  young lady, aet.  20, who suffered from
severe inflammation of the tonsils, so that she could scarcely
swallow milk or water, had received from me a preparation;
of mercury.
  The inflammation of the tonsils was reduced very quickly,
but  another evil set in, namely, violent  salivation.  The
gums were loosened, bleeding easily,  and standing back from
the teeth, and the teeth were slackened.
  I thought of curing this affection also with mercury, with
which I had often  before succeeded in such  cases; but by
continuing this remedy the evil was only increased.  Now I
ascertained from the  patient that in the previous summer-
she had been ill at N., and the doctor had given her a good
deal of calomel, which  caused  fearful and long-continued
salivation.   She was  afraid the  evil would again become
very tedious, as it had been so bad at N.   I now stopped
the mercury, and ordered Sodium chloride—a dose the size
of a bean every two hours.
  The success surpassed my most  sanguine expectations.
In  twenty-four hours the swelling of the  glands had dis-
tinctly diminished, and in three days a complete cure was
effected.
   47.  D. R., a boy of 7 years of age, who took spurious croup
whenever there was  a sharp, keen north-east wind, having
had a few years before a very severe  attack  of true croup,
this  past autumn had again an  attack,  with fever, and a
loud barking coqgh.
   Aconite and liver of sulphur, which had been recommended
by so  many authors against spurious croup, produced  no
change whatever, so that I prepared myself, in the case of this
boy, for  a continuance of the affection, as usual, for several
days.  The nights especially  were very restless, with much
coughing, rough and hard, so that  his relatives were very
anxious.   There were dry heat and great oppression present.
I changed my Hep. sulph. for Potassium chloride—and gave
every two hours a full  dose.  After a few doses the cough

became  loose,  lost completely  the  barking  sound,  and the
whole of the following night my little patient slept quietly,
bo that  on the following morning he awoke able to get up
quite lively and well.

  48. A. R. v. G., a young lady of 18, had visited a hydro-
pathic establishment, along with her mother, in the past
summer (1875).   Without being ill, she had used the baths,
even during her catamenia.  Immediately after this,  she took
violent spasms or cramps, which set in daily, and continued
after having returned home.   A medical man was consulted,
as the disease increased in spite  of the  different medicines
she took.  A second doctor was consulted, who quite agreed
in the  diagnosis as well as  the  treatment  adopted by his
colleague.   Injections of morphium, very strong and  re-
peated several  times daily, were the main remedies  applied,
but the distressing ailment could not be removed  ; on the
contrary, the cramps increased in violence and  frequency.
The medical men in attendance finally declared  that there
was no chance of improvement until the patient would take
some steel baths in  the spring.   The parents were  afraid
that their daughter would not live to see the spring,  and if
she did,  that she would not be fit to be removed.  They
therefore telegraphed requesting a visit from me.
  On the 6th of September last  I  saw the patient for the
first time.  I had known her formerly, and was  astonished
to see, instead  of the blooming healthy girl as she had been,
a pale emaciated figure whom I should not have recognised.
During  my  presence she had  an attack; her features were
distorted, the eyes turned upwards, froth came to the mouth,
and then a fearful paroxysm of beating and striking with the
hands and feet such as I had never seen before.  This was
only the commencement.  Suddenly the trunk of her body
was contorted in an indescribable manner; the back of the
head pressed deeply into the pillows,  the feet forced against
the foot of  the bed, her chest and abdomen became arched
like a bridge,  drawn  up almost half a  yard.  In  this un-
natural  postion  she was  suspended several seconds.   Sud-
denly the whole  body jerked upwards with a bound, and the
poor sufferer was tossed  about  for some seconds,  with her
spine drawn in.                                         !

CLINICAL CASES.
  During the whole attack, which lasted several  minutes,
she was  quite unconscious ;  pinching and slapping had no
effect; dashing cold water in the  face, or applying burnt
feathers  to the nostrils,  were  ineffectual; the  pupils were
quite insensible to light.
  Ignatia, which I ordered, had no effect; cupr. metal, acted
better, but only temporarily;  Belladonna, Ipec, and Pulsa-
tilla (the latter for  suppressed catamenia), were of no use.
The attacks did not increase, neither did  they decrease  in
the least degree.  The morphium injections, too, were con-
tinued at the desire of her friends.
  When at my visit on the 4th of October, the spasms came
on again with such violence that the bedstead grave way,
I consulted  Schiissler's Therapy, and now ordered her  to
have—Magnesium phosphate.
  After  taking  this remedy,  on the 10th of October the
catamenia appeared ; but her condition otherwise was in no
way changed.  The spasms continued with  the same violence.
Then  remembering  Schiissler's injunction to use  Calcium
phosphate where Magnesium phosphate, though indicated by
the symptoms, proves ineffectual, I  gave her Calcium phos-
phate—on the 16th of October, a full dose every two hours.
Immediately the spasms became less frequent.   On  the sixth
day there was an attack, weak and of short duration.   From
this date she had peace until the 6th of November, the day
of the return of the catamenia, which was preceded by a
short slight attack.
  On  the 14th  of  December  I had  call  from the young
lady, looking well and blooming, who wished to consult me
for a slight bronchial affection.  She told  me that she was
completely cured of her attacks, and that  at  the beginning
of December she had been quite regular, without experiencing
any inconvenience.
  49.  Dr.  Schlegelman reports:—Potassium  sulphate—I
have repeatedly tested in wandering rheumatism,  and have
had very favourable results.

affection) had used various well-known medicines which had
done her no good.   I  tried various  remedies,  and at last
cured her.   A few  months  ago she came again, and the
lichen  was worse than ever.   My former remedy had no
effect; and with several others, arsenic, etc., it was no better.
I gave her Calcium sulphate night and morning, in quantities
as large as a bean, and in a fortnight the cure was complete.
  51. Silica has proved an excellent remedy.   Within the
last few months I was able to cure a young lady, 16 years
old, who lives in the country.   I did  not see  her myself.
The mother of the girl came to me almost  crying, and told
me her daughter had been suffering for the last few months
from her right  foot.   The medical men treating her there
declared that the foot must be amputated.   It was fearfully
swollen  ; the discharge of matter was excessive ; her leg was
almost bent to a right angle at the knee-joint, and could
absolutely not be stretched out.   I  advised her to give up
all internal as well as the external remedies, and prescribed
Silica  to  be taken once daily.   Three months  later the
patient  came herself, walking without any assistance.   The
foot  was almost completely healed, with  only  a slight dis-
charge of matter.
  Thus I succeeded, also, in a case of discharge from the
ear,  which had been treated for a long time ineffectually,
and  had caused the patient severe pain day and night.
This case was also cured with Silica.
  52. From  the  Rundschau :—Magnesium  phosphate  for
Whooping Cough.  In thespring of 1881, when there was an
epidemic of whooping cough  amongst the children  here, a
little child of ten months was given up by the family doctor.
I heard this from the father of the child, who was in great
grief.  He mentioned that the spasms, which  occurred about
ten times in the course of the day,  were  so severe that  the
little face became quite livid, blue, and swollen.  I  at once
gave Magnesium phosphate.   One single  powder moderated
the spasms so forcibly that they returned only occasionally,
and the attacks  were quite  mild.  Five days later I gave
some Potassium phosphate, but without beneficial effect, then 
102
CLINICAL CASES.
Calcium phosphate, and  it had no  effect, as  the paroxysms
grew  only worse for want  of  Magnesium  phosphate.   I
ordered it to be taken again, and in a very short time the
spasms and whoop were gone, and the child recovered rapidly.
 A FEW CASES FROM THE AUTHOR'S PRACTICE.

   53. Feby., 1880.   In a village a few miles from the town
of Oldenburg, a child was taken  ill with Diphtheria, which
at an early stage was  complicated by  an affection of the
larynx.   The child  was treated by the ordinary methods
and  died.   Almost  at the  same time a child of another
family in the village was attacked by Diphtheria with  the
same complication.   The father of the latter child came to
me.  I prescribed Potass, chloride—for the disease in the first
instance, and Calcium phosphate— for the  affection of the
larynx to be taken alternately.  I requested the father to in-
form me without fail of the result, which he promised to do.
Two days after,  I received  a letter from him, in which he
informed me that the child had completely recovered.
   55. A young man complained of an unnatural appetite.
He had to eat almost every hour, feeling such an intense
craving for food, yet he felt exhausted and languid.  There
were no secondary symptoms present.  The tongue was clean,
the urine was not increased, evacuations normal.  Potassium
phosphate—cured the patient in the course of two days.
  56. A lady felt for two days a drawing laming pain in the
sole  of  her  foot.   The affected  spot, about the size  of  a
florin, had a bluish appearance.  Pressure, or a blow, or other
mechanical  influences,  had not  preceded  it.    A  dose of
Potassium phosphate—subdued the pain in about half an hour.
  57.  An old lady had become bedridden for the last fort-
night on account of the following ailment.  She felt a con-
siderable pain in the lower part of  the thorax on the left

side, which increased when she coughed.   The cough was a
slightly catarrhal one.  The invalid felt very exhausted, and
had no appetite.  The tongue was dry, the pulse frequent,
weak, and intermittent.  Potassium phosphate—cured her in
the space of a week.
   58.   To the  above I  add another  important  effect of
Potassium phosphate.—By the use of it, spurious labour pains
subside, weak pains are stimulated by it, and often in the
shortest space of time the desired effects are produced with
most favourable results.
   59.   An old man was attacked  by severe vomiting and
diarrhoea, accompanied by exceedingly painful cramp in the
calves.   Evacuations had the  appearance of rice water.  I
undertook the treatment about six hours after the beginning
of the attack, and one dose oi Potassium phosphate—effected a
cure.  The speedy cure  of this  case  of choleraic diarrhoea
would justify the belief that Potassium phosphate is a specific
-against cholera.

  Rheumatism: A Splendid Cure with the Tissue Remedies.
         By E. H. Holbrook, M.D., Baltimore, Md-

   Miss  A. W.,  10^ years old, was  taken with a chill on?
January 1st, 1884.  The next day I found  her  with very
high  fever,  pulse 120;  severe pains in back  and limbs y.
nausea and  vomiting; joints,  small  and large, greatly in-
flamed ; hands, feet, and limbs cedematous.  Could not bear
to be touched or moved.  Great sensitiveness in every part
of the body and limbs.   Pains became very much  worse at
night,  increasing to  such  an  extent  that  her  screams
could be  heard by the  neighbours  on  either  side of the
house.  Constant cry for cold water ; vomiting of food and
drink almost as soon as swallowed.  Tongue coated yellowr
with  horribly bitter metallic  taste.   Great  prostration..
Hereditary gouty-rheumatic and  dropsical diathesis.  Has-
had  for some  time  back a ravenous  appetite, especially for
sweet things, which were freely indulged in.
   Treatment.—After wasting much of the first week with
various  remedies with no improvement, I determined to
adhere to the system of Schiissler.   For the fever, vomit-
ing of food and drink, and  the inflammation, I gave Fer.
phos.—6x.   Pains aggravated at night,  Calc. phos. 6x.;  for
rheumatic-gout, oedema, dropsy, yellow-coated tongue with
bitter taste,  Sodium sulph.—3x., about 10 grains  in half a.
goblet of water, a teaspoonful every other hour in alterna-
tion with  the  first two, which  were  given dry and at the
same time.  From  the commencement  of this treatment
decided  improvement began, and by  the  fourteenth day of
her sickness she was able to sit up.   Previous to her sick-
ness she had become so stout she  could not stoop to button
her shoes, and her cloak could  scarcely  be buttoned around'
her.   Indeed  it was  so  uncomfortable  buttoned that she-
would go with  it open  almost all the  time.   After her
recovery she was able to  stoop, and  her cloak could be
lapped several inches. 
CLINICAL  CASES.

  Among the first cases in which  I  tried these remedies
was a negro  child,  about two months old.   The  following
are about the  symptoms presented :—Painful diarrhoea, con-
stant rolling of the head, eyes turned up, tongue brownish-
yellow, no  desire to nurse for some time.   The mother said
it  had been  sick for a  week, and she had  been giving it
different  things ; but as it got worse, she called me.  I told
her I was afraid there was little chance for its recovery, but
I would do what I could  for it.
  Prescribed Magnesium phosphate—and Calcium phosphate
—in alternation every fifteen minutes.  This was about 9 or
10 o'clock a.m.  I returned about 3 o'clock p.m. to see  if it
was still  alive, and to  my astonishment found it better.   It
had ceased  rolling its head, eyes were natural, had nursed
once or twice,  and was sleeping.  Ordered the medicine  to
be continued at longer intervals.   The next morning it was
considerably  better.   At  this visit I found the  tongue-
covered with a thick white coating, and the mouth sore.   I
now prescribed Potassium chloride,—the remedy for this con-
dition,  in place of the Calcium phosphate, to be alternated
with  the Magnesium phosphate every hour.   The next day
the tongue  was clear,  and after leaving a few  more powders,.
to be continued for a day or two  longer, the  case was dis-
missed.
  Neuralgia.—Since writing the above I have had to treat
a severe case of neuralgia of the head.  The lady had come
sixty  miles to attend a  musical entertainment,  and was
compelled  to go  to  bed  on account of the pain.  After
suffering several hours, I was called,  and relieved her com-
pletely in  an hour with Mag. phos.—6x., a dose every ten
minutes.
  The better acquainted I become with  this system  the-
more pleased I am with it.  In labour,  when the pains are
too  weak  and irregular,  I  have  seen  nothing  act more
promptly and effectually than Potass, phos.—For spasmodic,
crampy pains, Mag. phos.—is a gem.  After delivery I give
Fer. phos.  where I used to give Aconite  and  Actea Race-
mosa, to be  followed or accompanied  by whatever may be

indicated.   I also use as a  wash,  3x, to the vulva and
abdomen, and for syringing the vagina morning and night.
The parts heal quickly under this treatment, and with the
use of other remedies as indicated, the patient makes a good
recovery.
   Another case was that of a lady with bilious colic.  I was
 sent for in the night, and for particular reasons did not go.  I
 however,  sent what I  thought would relieve her.  Early in
 the morning her husband was again at my office, saying she
 was no better, but suffering terribly.  I gave him a different
 remedy to be administered until I could  get there.  About
 half-past  nine  I arrived at the house, and found her  still
 suffering  excruciating pains.   Ascertaining  that  she  had
 vomited bile, and had a very bitter taste in her mouth all the
 time, I administered a powder of Sod. sulph.—in a little water.
 In about two minutes after taking it she said she was con-
siderably  relieved for the first  time since eleven o'clock in
 the night.  In about five minutes she had a  free movement
from  the bowels, and she continued  to improve,  and was up
 and about the next morning.
   A case  of neuralgia was relieved with one dose of Mag-
nesium phosphate.—A bad case of asthma was  cured  with
Potassium phosphate.—Other cases might be stated, but those
■will suffice to show the value of the system.
   I would advise every reader to purchase the book  and
;study it well.   It will be found a great aid in  very many
cases.
   For some time I used only the 3x. and  6x. (coarser  pre-
parations), but of late have been using some of the remedies
un the centesimal trituration as prescribed by Dr. Schiissler.
I believe those I tested act certainly better in his trituration.

   In the case of a little boy,  seven years of  age, who had
 concussion of the brain, from  a fall, meningitis (inflamma-
 tion of the covering membrane) set in, with  its character-
 istic  symptoms, and the first  medical man's  prognosis was
 adverse, Ferric phosphate  carried the day.   On the  third
 night, however, there  was a change, the pulse being in the
 morning 100, having been  125  on  the day before, fell to 49
 per minute.   Potassium phosphate—a dose every quarter of
 an hour, raised  it steadily, though slowly, up to 57, where
 it remained for  two days.   After that it rose, and the case
 mended very satisfactorily, the now threatening symptoms,
 stupor, dilated  immovable pupils, etc., disappearing.   A
 perfect recovery resulting  at the  end of a fortnight.  The
 remedies given were Ferric phosphate—Potassium phosphate
—a few doses oi Potassium chloride and Calcium phosphate.
    Lizzie Macquillen  was brought to the  Dispensary on
 October 15th.  Four years of age, to all appearance an im-
 becile ;  her  head large, broad and flat, but the rest of the
 body undeveloped like that of an infant, denoting her disease
 to be a case of rickets ; also curvature of the long bones,
 etc.; the face pale and triangular; no teeth ;  the neck too
 weak to keep the head steady ;  constant movement  of the
 eyes showing no intelligence.   The mother stated  the little
 girl seemed to be well enough till four or five months old,
 when she took fits till the end of the twelfth month.  Since
 then she had scarcely grown any bigger;  never  had the
 power of holding anything in her tiny hands ; and if food
 was held to her, did not know it was for eating ; had to be
 fed ; never attempted to use  her legs ; could only  sit when
 resting her elbows on the flat cross-bar of  her chair, fixing
 her mouth on the knuckles of her hands.   In bed she could
 not turn herself over. She had frequently been under medical
 treatment, but  without  benefit.   The mother persisted in
 the statement that  she had lost her first and second  set of
 teeth.   The  case seemed a  very hopeless  one.   Having
: great doubts of doing much  good, prescribed Calcium phos-

phate—in  alternation  with  Potassium phosphate—a  dose-
every hour, and told the mother to come back in six weeks,
as I would give her an additional remedy then.   She called
back at the appointed  time quite proud of her little thing.
The change  was marvellous,  scarcely any  rocking of the
head, and as  I turned over the leaves of the entry-book the-
little creature looked up wistfully, bent over and stretched
out her hand to take hold of it.  The mother expressed her
gratitude for the chauge in her child,  saying the last week
or two many neighbours  had called to  see little Lizzie, aud.
the father now happy to  dandle her on his knees.   To con-
tinue another six weeks  the remedies  Calcium phosphate—
daily, alternate doses oi Potassium phosphate—aud Potassium
chloride—day about.   The improvement  has  continued
steadily, she  nibbles crusts out of her own  hand, the intel-
ligence developing apace, she begins  to say some words, can
now stand holding  by her chair,  which she pushes before-
her and  moves  through  the  room.   To crown all  she has
cut two front   teeth.    January  21st.—The  biochemic

  W. Watson, aged  40 years.   Ulceration of stomach,.
vomited all his food, and latterly all the egesta had  the ap-
pearance of coffee grounds.   He had  suffered from vomiting
and  indigestion more or less for fourteen years, had  seen
many doctors, and taken much medicine, without avail.   I
advised him  to  take  Ferric phosphate6—and Sodium phos-
phat6—in usual quantities, and a tablespoonful  every two
hours alternately for a fortnight.  On his second visit he was-
free  from vomiting, had  little pain, and  felt  greatly better.
He continued another ten days  with the same remedies, and
returned quite well.   On making special inquiry if he had
nothing troubling him, he said,  "No, the only thing I some-
times trouble myself about, is thinking after  taking any
kind of food, whether it will trouble me, but it never does.""
His  cure has proved  permanent, as it is now  nearly two-
years since,  and he is still keeping well.

remedies should  be given.   Ferric phosphate—a dose every
hour, and a few doses of Potassium phosphate—for her ex-
hausted condition,  were  taken steadily for a few days, and
then Ferric phosphate—and Potassium chloride—alternately.
Shortly after this I received a letter dated London, 6th Oct.,
in which she says :—" I must write to thank you more than
I can  say, for your remedies have done me untold good.
The doctor who has called yesterday states all the bronchial
symptoms are gone !  My only very slight trouble now is a
tendency to gout in my ankle.  I should be glad to  get rid
of this, as the doctor thinks it adds to my bronchial attacks.

   Miss Edith M. had an attack of rheumatism,  excessive
pain in her joints, and several much swollen.  She was not
able to move, tvorse when warm  in  bed,  and  fevered, unable
to sleep.  Ferric phosphate—a dose every hour for one day,
and Potassium chloride—in  alternation  removed all pain in
two days.   She  continued  the  remedies  for a little  time
longer, and made a rapid recovery.

  Miss Margaret S. suffered from neuralgia, true nerve-fibre
pain, darting through her head along the nerves.   She had
suffered intermittently for  three days.   Two doses of Mag-

  The following is an extract from the letter of a medical
man in large practice in America:—
  " I have been trying the New Remedies here in the hospital
for the past few months, and for two months have used them
almost entirely in the female medical ward, with the con-
sent of the two physicians on duty, who have left the cases
in my hand for the  experiment.   Have used them both in
acute and chronic cases, and feel well satisfied with them.

  Miss M., the daughter of the late Dr M., has been suffer-
ing since her eighteenth year from occasional attacks of
aberration of the mind.  But as years passed on these at-
tacks of insanity became worse and more frequent,  until it
was deemed advisable by Captain M., her brother, to make
arrangements with the Doctor of a  Lunatic Asylum in  the
district to have  her  removed there.  As  a last recourse a
friend called to  see if the New Remedies could  be of any
service in such a hopeless case.  Having assured him that
Potassium phosphate—would  do  her  good, they gave it very
steadily—four doses  daily for weeks.  This was four years
a^o.   The  result was most  satisfactory.    After  taking it
she never  had  another  attack, and is  completely cured..

  Mrs Forbes, a widow, was  lying very ill with erysipelas.
high fever, and quite prostrate.  The members of her family
thought her dying, as she had become delirious.  Her head
and  face so swollen that her eyes were  literally closed—
suffering intense pain.   Sodium phosphate—and Ferris phos-
phate—alternately, a dose  every hour and oftener was given.
After the second  dose  of the former she ejected  a  great
quantity of bile.  The severe symptoms subsided ; this was
on Saturday night.   The medicine was continued ; Ferric-
phosphate—now only intercurrently, as the pulse had become
less  frequent.   To the astonishment of all her friends, on
Wednesday morning she was  so well that  she went out to-
iler work as usual.
  Statistics show a death rate of 2000 per annum from this
disease.  In a  similar case of  erysipelas  in  a  lady of 87
years of  age, these remedies and a few doses of Potassium
phosphate—cured her,  when  the usual  treatment, painting
with Iodine, brandy, etc., had had no  effect in  arresting  the

 the new treatment; it took sometimes an hour and more be-
 fore she could find the right position to rest in.  She would
 often rather spend the night on the sofa than venture to go
 through the fatigue of going to bed.   Her cough and expec-
 torations very bad, breath extremely short, and palpitation
 constant.  She  did  not know what it  was  to  have a  good
 night, and rarely slept.    By patiently adhering  to  Dr.
 Schiissler's  remedies  she  has  recovered greitly, her lungs
 are wonderfully healed up, and her dilatation of  heart almost
 removed.  She lives now in comparatively fair health, so that
 she was able to nurse her husband  during a severe illness
 where night watching was necessary.
   To re-assure all concerned a diagnosis was made by Dr. H.,
a  specialist, who concurs in the statement that her right
lung, of  which a large portion  is gone,  is now fairly healed
^p, and dilatation of heart has almost disappeared.
   Below is another extract  from a letter received,  which
shows the  favourable way in which the New  Treatment is
received by some members of the Medical profession :—
   " Allow  me to thank you  for the copy of Dr. Schiissler's
new edition, received a few days since through the hands of
my brother, Dr.  H.  R.  The work is much improved, and
several of my medical friends to whom I have  shown  it are
much pleased with it.  For myself I find  them  invaluable,
and their usefulness increasing  both  in acute and chronic
cases.  In  acute rheumatism  there is nothing  that will cut
short the disease  as effectually.  Recently I had the oppor-
tunity of trying  it in a severe case of membranous  croup
with great  success.  In skin  affections it also is superior to
other forms of treatment in the majority of cases.   Thauking
you for your contribution to knowledge,

   In a severe epidemic of Diphtheria, most cases terminat-
ing fatally, a well-known medical man  lost every case under
the usual treatment until he resorted  to the new remedies,
after which every case  treated  by him  recovered  satisfac-
torily, all of them being of a severe type.

  In fourteen cases of diphtheria,  the  biochemic measures
left  nothing  better  to  be  desired,  Potassium  chloride—
rapidly making a change, the whitish gray exudation being
diminished, shrivelling and coming away with the gargle and
mouth wash made with Potassium chloride—also  occasional
doses of Ferric phosphate.  The treatment worked splendidly.
In three cases the patients laboured under prostration from
the first,  and Potassium phosphate—had to be given inter-
currently.   In two cases Sodium chloride—alternately with
Potassium chloride—the  chief remedy.   In the latter cases
there existed  considerable flow of saliva, heavy drowsiness,
and watery stools.   No secondary affections resulted, such
as frequently  arise  under ordinary  treatment,  as paralysis,
defective vision, or  neuralgia.
  A young gentleman, J. G., the son of a landed proprietor,
had  been subject to severe attacks of asthma for several
years, aud all the various usual remedies had failed.  Shortly
after commencing with the biochemic remedies  his  sister
writes :—" My mother wishes me to say that she provided
herself with a small store of the German remedies,  and my
youngest brother having an attack  of  asthma on Saturday
and  yesterday,  he  tried  the Potassium  (phosphate and
chloride)—with, we think, very great success, relief having
been experienced more quickly than by any other remedy
he has tried.  He goes abroad with my father  and mother
this  week, and it is  comforting to think he will have such a
portable and effectual remedy in case of suffering."
  The following is from an elderly gentleman, Mr J. M.,
who had suffered from a prolonged attack of acute and sub-
acute inflammation of the brain.   He recovered slowly, but
symptoms of softening of the brain set in.   He was anxious
to give the new remedies a trial.  His speech was affected,
he seemed to lose momentary consciousness, could not hurry
though he saw himself in great danger of being run over, or
stop walking when dangerously close to the quay, and could
not be trusted out alone.

  Archibald Herbert, suffering from chronic bronchitis, had
an attack of pneumonia.   An iron moulder by trade, he was
exposed  to great heat,  he had  lain down on a  form in  a
state  of perspiration,  took a severe chill, and inflammation
in the right lung was the result.   His case was a bad one,
complicated by  bronchial affection, fever high,  cough dis-
tressing, a pain deep-seated in the right side, expectoration
tenacious, rusty coloured.  Ferric phosphate—in alternation
with Potassium chloride—a dose every half-hour was  taken
for  24 hours,  then every hour.   For his  prostration and
sleeplessness a few doses  of Potassium phosphate—were  taken
now and then.   The improvement  every way was very
marked in two days.  As the colour of the sputa changed to
yellow,  he took Potassium sulphate—instead of  Potassium
chloride; and  as  this   condition was  remedied,  Sr.dium
chloride—and  Calcium phosphate—completed the  cure  in
little more than ten days.  He returned to wrork free from
inflammation and bronchitis, as will be seen from his letter,
which is given at his own request, as follows :—

   Case of an old lady about eighty years of age.—Mrs M.,
a doctor's widow, took a cold three weeks ago.   Cough hard,
worse at night, little  spit,  incessant irritation  at windpipe,
pain under left breast, occasional palpitation.   Had taken
some Ferric phosphate—latterly.   Sputa is copious now after
much straining, appetite fairly good, but very much inclined
to constipation, sleep very  much broken by  the  severe fits
of coughing.   Potassium chloride—for the cough and sputa,
and Sodium chloride—for the  constipation, were  now taken
regularly every  hour, a dose alternately.   A letter  was
received written on the evening of the second day, in which
the gentleman writes :—
   " You will be pleased  to  hear that my old mother  had a
good night and scarcely  any cough  after following your
prescription.  Mother says that she might have slept more,
but her mind was unsettled, always expecting the cough to
return.  I left her this morning very cheerful, and of course
more than ever a firm believer in the New Treatment of all
diseases."
   No other remedies were  required,  the lady recovered in a
few days.
  A gentleman who had suffered from great sleeplessness?,
depression,  and  occasional tendencies to suicidal  mania,
writes :—" I do not know how to thank you for the medicine

the Potassium phospliate—and occasional doses of  Potassium
chloride—very faithfully, and will continue to do so,  as it
keeps me right."

  In the case of a poor orphan girl fourteen years old, Silica
saved her having her foot amputated.  She had been under
treatment a long time for bone disease.  Her medical man
saw no  alternative, as the evil only grew worse, to make
arrangements with the infirmary surgeon to have it taken
off.   This was agreed on, six days before removing her,  Her
friends were  greatly  distressed  and applied for the New
remedies.   Silica—a dose  every hour, was  steadily  taken,
and lotion on lint externally applied.   On  the fifth day the
ankle bone  and surrounding tissues presented such a healthy
appearance that all cause for amputation was removed,   ^he
continued the treatment for a short time longer,  and her
case was pronounced perfectly cured.

  A young lady  had been treated by  two  physicians  for
several months without being much or permanently benefitted.
She had a pricking pain near the shin-bone, and had irritated
a raised  spot like a pin head,  and ulceration set in.  Her
general health had been good, but being  ordered to recline a
great  deal for relief and even keep to bed,  as she suffered
pain and lamed  on walking,  her health began to give way.
Mrs G, her mother, applied for the New Remedies, as the
doctors seemed puzzled with the case.   The appearance of
the limb seemed quite normal except the ulcer.  This led me
to give Calcium fluoride—externally as  lotion  on lint,  and
every two hours a dose internally.  On very minute enquiry
it turned out that  she suffered  from menstrual  colic with
cramp in the legs; also for the cramp, Magnesium phosphate—
was taken, giving rapid relief, and special attention to be paid
that none of  her garments were tight.   The sore, a varicose
ulcer, healed in a very short time, and has not troubled her
since  a lapse of three years.

cough entirely disappeared, and since then she has  enjoyed
excellent health.   On seeing the benefit she received from
it, we bought Dr. Schiissler's book with a therapeutical index
by  yourself, to  which I can easily refer when required.   I
have recommended the medicine to different persons, and it
always  proved very beneficial.  One case in particular was
that of an old lady afflicted with  gouty rheumatism ;  her
body was so very much swollen that she could do no work
at  all.    I  recommended  Sodium  chloride — and  Sodium
sulphate—to her, and after using it  for a time the  swelling
in  her  body had  decreased so much that she was able to
knit with ease and go about the house.  I have given  the
remedies in cases of  common cold,  coughs, inflammation of
tonsils, &c, in  my  own family, and have found them very
beneficial.  Wishing you every success in your noble work.

to overcome old prejudices, aud to  lift up those sunk into

pain in the wound.   This kept him from sleeping, and  he
was unable to attend to his duties  in consequence.  Ferric
phosphate—was applied as a lotion to saturate the  dressing,
and  the  doses were taken frequently for one  day.   Next
morning a note reached me as follows :—My hand  is nearly
well already.  I had a good night, and I beg to thank you
for the benefit I received from your medicine and  advice.
In a few days the ragged wound was quite healed.

CLINICAL CASES.
   Annie Allan, aged 18  years, had been  under treatment
 five weeks for rheumatic fever.  Little progress was mader
 and complications grew worse.   I was consulted on the 8th
 March.   She was then  suffering intensely.   One of her legs
 was swollen to nearly  double its size, and  perfectly stiff.
 Neuralgic pains darting periodically  through  her body,
 arms,  head, etc.   The paroxysms were frequent and most
 exhausting.   Morphia pills had been given with little effect.
 Magnesium phosphate—for these agonising attacks acted like
 a charm.  As she had a great itching all over her body, and
 the symptoms of articular  rheumatism  were  still  there,.
 tongue  creamy,  mouth also sore, Sodium phosphate—the-
 chief  remedy  for these,  was given  in  alternation  with
 Potassium chloride—for the synovitis  with  all its marked
 symptoms, swelling of knee  and leg.   Improvement set in
 at  once,  and in five days  all  the  severe symptoms  had
 subsided.  The leg became normal in size,  she had regained
 the power  of  moving it, and though  the ankle was  still
 swollen, she soon made a rapid recovery, and was able to
 resume her duties in a very short time.  A similar  case of
 synovitis treated on  the  old system left the young lady a
 cripple for life.

   The following is a most striking case showing what has
 been  done  with  one  Remedy — Sodium chloride — in
 Pemphigus, pronounced incurable.  The son of a gentleman
 came  under my treatment  at the age of  fifteen with  this
 disease, which he had since his childhood ;  he was little and
 stunted  in growth.   He had never  been able to  wear
 ordinary clothes, but wore sandals and a loose garment with
 a girdle.  He had a tutor, as he could never go to schooL
 The whole body, face, and feet,  were covered more  or  less
 with the vesicles and incrustations in their various stages-
 All the highest authorities on skin diseases had been consulted
 and their medicines tried  without any  lasting  effect.   The
 whole of the symptoms and pathological conditions pointing
 so  clearly to  Sodium chloride—he  received  this the  only
 remedy to take internally and also for  outward application.
 The effects were such that in less  than three months he
 wore his first  tailor-made suit, and has since  then  (now 8
 years ago) enjoyed good health, and is quite the strongest
and tallest of the family. 
CLINICAL  CASES.                 119
  From India reports have reached us through  the  Sheriff
of Madras of the cure of two cases of Diabetes with Dr.
Schiissler's remedy—Sodium sulphate.
  From Melbourne a doctor expresses himself highly satisfied
with the results of the twelve Cell-Salts.  In New Zealand
many are using the New Remedies with the most satisfactory
results.   In consumption most gratifying  recoveries  have
been achieved with the remedies, selected according to the
pathological state of the lung tissues.
  Extract from another medical man's letter :—" I wish to
say that I possess a copy of your translation of Dr. Schiissler's
Biochemic  Treatment of  Disease, which I have now ex-
tensively used in my practice over a year.  Indeed I must
say I have  had the best results from the  said system of
anything I  have yet tried.
  When diagnosis (not mere guess work) is properly made,
and the Biochemic Remedies are used direct in the patho-
logical conditions pointed out in your therapeutical index  ;
then, they  become specific certainties,  and will cure  all
curable diseases, and the practitioner is no longer left to
grope  his way  in the  dark.   The  Biochemic  system of
practice established on rational basis is a demonstrated truth,
and let him  who doubts the assertion  candidly, and without
prejudice, investigate for himself and be convinced ; thereby
profit by it himself, and benefit suffering humanity at large.
  I admit it is easier to practice under the old  system, as
that is a routine way, hit or miss.   But the modern scientific
physician seeking after  truth is, and must  be  a diligent
worker and a thorough student of the laws of nature, reach-
ing after truth wherever found regardless of " Pathies," and
" isms," and medical orthodox dogmas.
  Doctor, allow me to thank and congratulate you for  your
toiling  hours  of  labour  spent in the  translation of  Dr.
Schiissler's method and your systematic arrangement of the
Therapeutical  Index."

CLINICAL  CASES.
  Extract from a letter received from  George  W.  Carey,
M.D. :—
  ''Our success has fully sustained Dr Schiissler's theory in
" our daily practice.   We have recently treated 31 cases of
"typhoid  fever during  60 days  without a  failure.   Yes,
" your name will be inseparably connected with the success of
" Biochemistry throughout  the  world.    The certainty of
u success encourages us  to renewed efforts in our calling and
" determined march towards the  goal of all medical science.
" This, we feel sure, will be  reached by those in the near
" future,  although  we  both  may have  laid   down our
" burdens to rest.  All  over our great America are spring-
" ing up  bright  minds who  refuse to  be  bound by the
" barbarous practices of the  past,  or allow their minds to
'■ be chained to the cruel wheels of error, and when we shall
" have passed to that realm  of knowledge where  all science
"will be  understood, the seared  torch  that falls from our
" grasp will be seized with  eager  hands, and carried for-
" ward to  lighten the pathway of our fellowmen."
   In all  cases of disease, molecules of certain  salts are
required.   But deficiency of a certain salt  does not imply
waut of it in the whole system, but want of it in certain
abnormal parts only.   In fact, a disease is often recognised
by an excess of the salt, and  its organic  substance  or basis
by the  various channels of excretion, in faeces, urine, etc.
In diseases where certain salts are thus prevented from being
used in the economy of the body, they are often excreted in
a manner unchanged.  See Albuminuria, Bright's disease, etc.
   Bio-chemic Remedies, which act in  perfect harmony with
Nature's  laws, have achieved  such notable  cures that
thousands  of thinking minds have  already accepted  this
method by which health is  so certain  to be restored, even in
almost hopeless cases, if Providence be pleased to grant ever
so small an  amount  of vitality or powers for the  further
continuance of the processes of life.
   The Clinical cases given  are only a few  of the many
which are constantly treated with great  success at my Dis-
pensary and Consulting Rooms here and in London.

   The chemical formula appended  to each of the cell-salts,
with the number of molecules and their atomic  composition
respectively, suggest  the variety  of  combinations  and
isomeric positions  they may  assume in the  living tissues.
It also shows that each has  a certain number of molecules
which individually take part  in  the process of elaborating
the various cells and tissues  of  the body.    Each molecule
represents the variety  of  isomeric conditions it can assume 
ii.
THERAPEUTICAL  INDEX.
in those chemical allotropic combinations which are con-
stantly taking place in the human economy.   According to
the number of these inorganic molecules which enter into
combination with certain organic molecules, both  in the
process of synthesis and analysis  (splitting up), and accord-
ing to their relative isomeric conditions, or  arrangement,
they determine the  differentiation of cells.   Hence it will
be possible  to  explain how the protoplasmic substance
changes under the favourable conditions  necessary to form
the variety of the differentiated organic substances we meet
with in the tissues.  Protoplasm, by reason of such molecu-
lar  arrangements,   changes,   and  we  have  albumen,
albumenoids, etc.   The basis of the  cells,  the water or
gaseous solutions  or combinations as  such, have each the
power  of attracting  and taking up their  respective cell-
salts individually, and will attract by the law  of affinity the
proper complement of molecules  it requires if at all favour-
ably placed.
   Thus each  combination,  general,  definite,  and  special,.
according to a numeric law, will be found to  have changed
the  nature of the  original  substance  into another  by
isomerism, i.e., substances with  same percentage, composi-
tion and molecular weight, but different properties, namely,
metameric and polymeric.   These  two  states  are  due to
difference of relative position which the molecules in the
cell-substances, etc., occupy.   (See  Lehman  and Ponton.)
Molecular motion is aided by  heat and cold.  All  these
laws in chemistry, exhibited in nature, play their part also
in living things,  and are  summed up in the  term Bio-
chemistry (Th. Carnelly,  Dr.  Sc).  Ex.  We know of the
molecular movement of iron, the expansion of its molecules
by heat and contraction  by cold.   These influences  (mag-
netic and electric) act on the molecules of  iron, which are
visibly susceptible to their  influence.   This same property
is inherent in the molecules of Ferric  phosphate, and their
action in the living body is  determined thereby  in the same
manner.  By cold, contraction sets  in, and the free move-
ment  of  the iron molecules (atomic)  is  checked.  This-
example  may  serve to show  and explain why a person
whose  circulation (blood  containing  iron)  has suddenlv
suffered a check through chill will often  be able to correct 
THERAPEUTICAL  INDEX.
m.
such an abnormal condition by the application of heat alone,
which relaxes and  will permit  the  molecules of  displaced
hydrogen to return ; expansion and molecular motion of
the iron molecules will resume their function.   The function
of the Phosphate of iron in the body has been well defined
by Dr. Schiissler.
   But if heat alone is  not  adequate to overcome the con-
traction or  cohesion,  a deficiency occurs in the number of
available molecules or atoms  for the general welfare of the
economy of the body,  which  will be felt in  some  cells.
Other causes over  irritation  or stimulation may also cause
a lack by excessive expenditure  of  molecules of Phosphate
of iron.  This lack, Schiissler tells  us, must be made up for
by the physician, who,  recognising the general—definite—
and special symptoms,  selects, by  a general, definite, and
special guiding  system, and supplies the  salt requisite to
restore normal  equilibrium in the diseased parts.   If this
were only a theory made up to coincide and fit in so beauti-
fully with the natural  laws,  it  might as a  theory  be set
aside.   But experience has  proved and esstablished the
curative effects of the biochemical action of the twelve cell-
salts,  which are  brought about  by  careful study  and
reasonings and scientific means.   Nature acts in obedience
to the laws laid down by the  great Lawgiver.
   The proof of  the success these remedies have in the cure
of disease  is seen by  the profession adopting them  very
largely in England,  Germany,  the  Colonies, and  America.
In  America, in the State  of  Washington, already two
Biochemic  Colleges  have been established.   This shows
what  hold  this new scientific  system  of  medicine has on
the profession.   There Virchow's " Cellular Pathology " is
one of the chief text-books for the medical students.

DIRECTIONS.
                 DIRECTIONS.

  THE DOSE-—Dissolve from 3 to 5 grains of the  powder (a
quantity about the size of a pea) in  say a  dessert or tea spoonful of
water for a single dose.   For convenience,  take as much powder as
will lie on a sixpenny piece, dissolve in half-a-tea-cupful of water, and
make 6 to 8 doses or sips of this quantity.  In the case of Magnesium
phosphate, where warmth is agreeable and grateful, hot water may be
.advantageously taken.    If from any reason the patient cannot readily
take the remedy in water, the powder  may  be taken  dry upon  the
tongue,  though this is not the preferable or most effective way.
  TIME-—A dose should be taken every hour, or even oftener if the
■case be very acute.  In less urgent cases, a dose every two  hours.  In
chronic  cases 4 doses daily.
  ALTERNATION-—When  two remedies have to be  taken
alternately,  each must  be kept in  a separate cup or  phial, the one to
be taken in  turns or time about with the other.
  THE   INTERCURRENT  REMEDY-To be  taken
occasionally, in any disease,  between or in place of the chief or prin-
cipal remedy or  remedies, such as  Ferric phosphate  or  Potassium
phosphate,  as symptoms may arise  in  complications.  For  chronic
cases, the intercurrent, such as Calcium phosphate, a dose every day,
night, and morning, or only every second day.
   EXTERNAL  APPLICATION -This must  always be
accompanied by the  remedy internally.   Dissolve a good pinch of the
powder prescribed, in half  a  tumblerful of water.  This lotion can be
used tepid or cold as may  be  required or  preferred, for bathing the
parts with ; or, if to be  applied on lint  as  a compress, with oilskin
over it; or a poultice may be moistened with it, though a compress is
preferable to it.    It may  be  used as a gargle.    Wetted and mixed
with either Olive Oil, Glycerine,  or Vaseline,  it may be applied like
ointment, or the parts may simply be moistened  with  the lotion as
often as desirable under existing circumstances.  Any of these ways of
application may be adopted whenever external use is prescribed. 
DIRECTIONS.
v.
  THE TONGUE ancl its appearance in disease forms, as a rule,
a very important index to the remedy required.   Different  salts when
deficient in function, cause a peculiar appearance of the tongue (for
which consult  page 69).  The best time to examine the tongue is
before and not after meals.
  N.B.— ON SELECTING A REMEDY,  read  always  the first  two
paragraphs under each Cell-Salt in this index, as these are of import-
ance.
  See that each remedy as given above  has its own number affixed on
the phial or box in which it is contained,  as it facilitates  the reading.
  TRITURATIONS.—The same trituration which Dr Schiissler
recommends for ordinary use,  as well as the 12th, 30th, and 100th,
can be  obtained in boxes at the Biochemic Dispensary.  The latter
are,  however,  only for chronic cases, or where the 6th trituration
does not act.  This arises from some  abnormal and altered state of
the cells themselves, or of those surrounding the seat of the diseased
cells.   The molecules of ordinary size being impeded in  their passage,
do not reach therefore the places  where  they are required for the  com-
 pletion of the chemical molecular arrangement.
   This solves the much vexed  question  why high or fine triturations
act best in  old chronic cases  and with little  children, and are not
so well suited in acute and ordinary cases.

  1.—Calcium  Phosphate = Calcarea Phosphorica.*
                          Calc.  phos.

The  Diseases forming this group  must be healed  or treated with
     Calcium phosphate, as they may have  their seat in any  of the
     cells or  the intercellular fluids.   The  Calcium phosphate has a
     chemical affinity for albumen, which  forms the organic  basis
     for this salt in the tissue-cells.   It is required in all cells, as also
     in  all  intercellular  fluids,  and when  albumen  or  albuminous
     substances are found in the secretions or effusions,  it is clearly
     shown  to be necessary.
All Ailments which are obstinate and do not yield to their own remedy,
     may require a few doses of Calcium phosphate.   More particularly
     is this  required with growing young people or old persons in the
     decline of life.

     alternated with certain others.  See the characteristics of these
     salts.

     secretion is clear and tough.
Bronchitis,  also bronchial catarrhs, chronic or acute, when the expec-
     toration is clear, tough, and contains albumen, this remedy is also
     useful  as an after course by itself.

The Diseases forming this group must be healed or treated with  this
     cell-salt.   Fibrinous exudations, glandular infiltration, and in-
     flammatory infiltration  of the skin,  causing swelling of the part,
     arising from a  disturbed balance  of the organic (albuminoid)
     basis in the cells and  of the molecules of Potassium chloride or
     muscle salt,  which stands in biological relation to the albuminoid
     substances in  fibrin,  and those forming  the basis  of  the cells
     constituting the brain  and spinal  cord.    It is contained in the
     blood corpuscles, muscle, nerve, and brain cells, and in the inter-
     cellular fluids.   Diseases which arise from a want of this salt are
     marked either by  fibrinous  exudations  (swellings),  torpor of
     liver,  casting off of effete albuminoid substance, as seen in a white
     coating of tongue, or whitish  secretions and expectorations, which
     call for the use of Potassium chloride, which  acts as a solvent
     upon the fibrin by reason of the chlorine when split off forming

and  its function.
   6.—Potassium Phosphate=Kali Phosphoricum.
                          Kali phos.
The  Diseases  forming this  group must  be healed  or treated  with
    Potassium phosphate, as they have their seat in some portion of the
    gray nervous substance  either of the brain, spinal cord, or of the
    nerve  centres  (nervous  system),  the muscles,  or  the blood
    corpuscles, of which this cell-salt is a constituent.
Physical or mental  stimuli proceed from  the  brain (gray nervous
    matter), whether they be  ideational,  emotional, or volitional, or
    are sometimes induced by external causes, and sometimes originate
    primarily in the great nervous centres, from the operation of the
    instinct, the memory,  the reason, or the will; but by deficiency or
    absence of stimulus, from want of nervous force of the gray nervous
    matter, paralysis may be induced. The remedy for such abnormal
    conditions as : mental  excitement, depression, or  suspension of
    function in the receptive substance,  or the true seat of thought
    and volition, is Potassium  phosphate.

    remedy may often be required whenever symptoms of exhaustion,
    depression,  or  want of mental  power or response of sensation
    occur ; or in those cases where there is rapid decomposition of the
    blood corpuscles and muscle juice, causing foul putrid conditions,
    mortification, and septic conditions ;  and ailments inclining the
    patient to rock body or limb, or move about.

 Sleeplessness, pathologically is an  abnormal condition  of  the  brain'
     cells, kept vivified or awake by  the blood supplied to them, whem
     it should be lessened  by the contracting of the vessels supplying

     centres to cause muscular  contraction of  the vessels and  dimi-
     nished supply of blood to the brain.   During sleep the brain is-

  N.B.— ON SELECTING A REMEDY,  read  always  the first two
paragraphs  under each   Cell-Salt  in  this index, as these  are of
importance,  so  as to grasp the sphere  of action  of  each Cdl-Salt
and its function.

'8-—Magnesium  Phosphate=Magnesia  Phosphorica.

                          Mag- phos.
 This salt, termed mHscle and nerve earth, is a constituent part of all
     white nerve fibres ; these act as conductors of the external and
     internal stimuli, whether  sensory, motor, or reflex.   The fibres
     may  become abnormal in their  conducility  and excitability.
     Magnesium phosphate is also met with in the tissue of bone.
 Stimuli applied to the white nerve  fibres or conductors may not only
     excite sensation, but also  contraction or motion,  by direct con-
     duction along a nerve, or else  by the conduction of a stimulus to
     a nervous centre (gray matter) whence it is reflected  along
     another nerve to the muscles.   Sensory impressions have different
     channels, special paths by  which they travel; touch, pain, the
     sense  of heat or cold, and  the  muscular  sense, each having its
     own channel.   Tactile sensibility,  its own path is in the white
     columns of the cord. —Schiff.   A bnormal condition of these con-
     ductors require  Magnesium phosphate chiefly.
 The Diseases  forming this  group  must be  healed or treated with
     Magnesium phosphate,  as  these diseases  have  their seat in the
     muscle, nerve fibre, and bone cells

The diseases forming this group must be healed or treated with Sodium
    Chloride ; they  arise from a  disturbed balance of the molecules of
    this salt, which is a constituent of all solids and fluids of the body.
    Its presence regulates the proper degree of moisture of solids and
    proper amount of water of the fluids in the organism.  It has its
    function in the  epithelial cells of the peptic  gastric glands, and
    assists in  forming hydrochloric acid, the  essential of the gastric
    juice.   It is present in the mucous membranes, and acts on  the
    muciu.

    are  affected — excess  of  watery secretions,  also  of the mucous
    membranes.  Ex. The tongue has a clear slimy appearance, or small

    the mucous membranes, sometimes scalding and chafing,  with co-
    existing want of moisture, i.e., diminished secretions, in some other

 The Diseases or pathological conditions  forming this group may have
     their seat in  blood corpuscles, muscle, nerve, or brain cells, or in
     the intercellual fluids, and must be  healed or treated with Sodium
     phosphate ; they arise mainly from excess of lactic  acid, composed
     of carbonic acid and water.  This cell-salt  decomposes, splits up,
     the lactic acid in venous blood,  and fixes or takes up the carbonic
     acid,  and carries it to the lungs to be exhaled.   It has an affinity
     for acid albumen, and hence is able to cause resorption of the same.
     By its presence the uric acid is held in solution in the blood when
     the latter maintains its normal warmth ; but when chill causes a
     precipitate of uric acid,  gout and acute articular rheumatism will
     set in.  It assists also in the emulsion or saponifying of fats.   It
     is most important in diseases with albuminous deposits.
All ailments in which there  are any  symptoms of acidity ;  deposit on
     the tongue of a thin, moist, creamy coating (gold coloured) like
     honey, sometimes  covering the tongue as if with moist yellow
     sugar ; or the soft  palate has a yellowish creamy look.  It is a
     most important factor in many diseases caused by excess of acids,
     a most useful alternating remedy.   W7here fatty substances are not

The  Diseases  forming this  group must be healed  or treated with
    Sodium sulphate.   They arise from a disturbance in the molecular
    motion of this salt in the inter-cellular fluids of the tissues, pre-
    venting elimination of such  water from the  tissues produced by
    oxidation  of the organic substances and the analysis of lactic acid
    by Sodium phosphate.
All Ailments  in which  there  is accumulation of water in the inter-
    cellular tissues, greenish  or yellow watery secretions  on the skin
    or mucous membranes,  or yellowish scales forming on eruptions
    of vesicles, including those  ailments  marked by excessive secre-

Wounds, suppurating,  as  first remedy, Calcium sulphate if not heal-
    ing  from torpidity of tissues, and  excess of intercellular fluids
    lacking the latter salt.

    N.B.—OX SELECTING A REMEDY,  read always the first two
paragraphs under each Cell-Salt in this  index, as  these  are of im-
portance, so as to grasp the sphere of action  of  each Cell-Salt and  its
Junction.   Note always the appearance of the tongue. 
Ixxviii.  SPECIMENS OF  VARIOUS THERAPEUTICS,
   The great advantages and simplification of medicaments
by the new treatment with bio-chemic remedies, their safety
and  certainty, may be shown by a few examples;  and their
relative position to such remedies as  are  used in  Homoeo-
pathic and Allopathic treatment.
   The great  desideratum  in medicine is certainty as to the
right remedy.   The more  drugs to  choose from,  the more
uncertain the success.

  Puerperal fever, so much dreaded on account of its subtle
infectiousness, and  very fatal  under  Allopathic treatment,
requires but one remedy for its cure.
  Puerperal Mania under the use of the biochemic measures

becomes at once amenable to treatment, and in the simplest
form, or in its various degrees of severity, a proportionally
speedy cure may most reasonably be looked for.  The cases
of recovery have all been permanent and rapid throughout.

   Seeing that the action of  the New  Remedies  is  so exact
and well-defined, and so certain, surely every Medical man
who desires the good  of  his  patients will  select  from these
for the scientific and rapid cure of the sick ; and  all patients
will be anxious to be treated, restored to health, in the new
way, with safe and truly rational remedies. 
         INDEX  OF  DISEASES
AND   REFERENCE   TABLE
     OF THE NEW  TREATMENT.
In this Reference Table members only are appended to each
disease for the sake of brevity.  They refer to the twelve-
sections of the Therapeutical Index, and represent the reme-
dies  from No. 1 to No. 12 in the numerical order in which
they are arranged, as seen from page i. to lxxvii.
   The Dose, the  Time  of taking, and Direc-
tions  for  external  applications, etc., will be
found on page i.
   The mrmhfira show which remedies may have to be given
in the different ailments, and must be looked up under the
corresponding number in the Therapeutical Index as to when
and for which special symptoms they ought to be given.   For
the special reason why, see Dr.  Schussler's explanations re-
ferred  to in the pages indicated.  A  careful study of the
"Characteristics " from page 18 to 27, and of each section
in the Therapeutical Index, will familiarize with the Pathology
and leading symptoms of a disease, and the range of action
of each of the cell salts.   It is hoped this will form a Key to
a correct selection of the required remedies for the treatment
of the various diseases and their characteristic symptoms.
Many diseases are found to pass through three evolutions or
stages.  With the appropriate cell  salts, the intensity and
duration of the malady in each stage can be greatly reduced,.
as may be noticed in inflammation of the lungs, etc., and' 
lxxxvi.
GENERAL INDEX.
 health soon restored.  If the treatment of first  stages be
 prompt, second and third stages may often be prevented,
 and the disease thus cut short, and suffering averted.  Cases
 often become chronic and sometimes very tedious; not so
 here, wrhere nature is supplied with the natural substances
 and direct means of repair for the cells of the blood or of the
 tissues.
    In cases where the mucous  membrane  or linings are
 affected, the characteristics  of the  secretions or discharges
 may be very various in colour or consistency, which explains
 the great number of remedies after such ailments.
    Ferric  phos. is recommended to  be given alternately
 with any of the remedies specified, since these  ailments in-
 cline to have inflammatory, congestive, or febrile tendencies.
 When a person is not able to judge of  the exact  length of
 time a remedy should be taken for a ceitain stage or certain
 symptoms, and cannot decide between two remedies if there
 are symptoms for both, he need not hesitate,  but give both
 alternately until one  or  other symptom subside, for which
 they are given.
    They are the safest medicines ever yet prescribed.
    Dr. Schussler wrote his Therapeutics for the use of
 medical men, and  with their knowledge of symptoms  and
 pathological conditions, without the aid of the Therapeutical
 Index, they can get all information in the concisely written
 pages of the  book  itself.  But  for others, the addition of
 my Therapeutical  Index, with frequently repeated details,
 names of  diseases, and  characteristic  symptoms, may be  a
 help, as well as my alphabetical arrangement of the Keference
Table.

  EXPLANATION   REGARDING NUMBERS

            GIVEN AFTER A  DISEASE.

    The numbers after each disease represent the Medicines which may
be  required at the different stages  of  the  disease.   If there is any
uncertainty which to choose, read up the chapter with the correspond-
ing number in the Therapeutical  Index, p  i. to lxxvii., compare the
symptoms, and select one or other of the remedies which have those
symptoms clearly defined which the patient complains of.
    Those numbers preceding the dash represent the chief remedies,  or
those most likely to be required at the commencement (first stage)  of
an ailment.
    When 4  stands first, symptoms for its use will predominate ;  if
after other numbers or after a dash (—), it may be advisable to alternate
it with any of the preceding numbers, not with the last only.
