i f y SUPPLEMENT TO Malcolm and Moss' Regional and Comparative MATERIA MEDICA. A VERY CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT OF THE MOST Characteristic Symptoms OF Four^ Hundred and Twelve Homoeopathic Remedies, as Given by Hahnemann, Hering, Guernsey, Hale, Hoyne, Hughes, Jones, Burt, AND Two Hundred Other Homoeopathic Physicians in All Parts of the World.

D. Hutchinson, Kansas. Preface. The true Homoeopathic physician should prescribe for his patient the medicine whose symptoms, as recorded in the Homoeopathic Materia Medica are the near- est like those of his patient. It therefore becomes a matter of extreme im- portance to him that he be able to find the symptoms of his patient in the Ma- teria Medica as easily and rapidly as possible, for if he cannot do this he is likely to prescribe frequently from memory or from "guess." To this end the symptoms of the remedies have been grouped under some forty-two Rubrics, as Mind, Head, Eyes, Ears, etc. This arrangement helps the physician to find symptoms, just as boxes labeled alphabetically, help the postmaster to find letters rapidly. Nothing can assist the Homoeopathic physician in making good prescriptions so much as a good arrangement of the Materia Medica. • In Malcolm and Moss' Regional and Comparative Materia Medica, we be- lieve we have improved upon the old arrangement, and the improvement is one that will assist the physician in more rapidly finding the symptoms of his patient. We have not only grouped the similar symptoms of each remedy, as in the old ar- rangement, but we have grouped the similar symptoms of all the remedies. If the first step in grouping, taken by Hahnemann, was good, the second step must be equally good. If it was a good arrangement to group the similar symptoms of each remedy, it must also be a good thing to group the similar symptoms of all remedies. In the old arrangement the remedies are placed in alphabetical order, and the action of each remedy is given upon all parts of the human body, in one place, and the symptoms of all the remedies are given on the same plan. Now, suppose the doctor has a case of eye disease, and suppose he looks it up in " The Guiding Symptoms," a work of ten volumes. He will be obliged to consult all those vol- umes, and all those remedies from A to Z. He must look up what each remedy has about the eyes, or if he misses one it may be the one he should prescribe. It is similar with all other diseases. It will take hours to do this, and hence it will not be done. But, suppose he should attempt to look up the same case in "The Reference Hand Book," Allopathic. Here he would find a still greater confusion. In this great work of eight very large volumes, the diseases are arranged upon the alpha- betic plan. He would find Accommodation, Amaurosis, Anchylopsis, Asthenopia, Astigmatism and Cataract scattered through Vol. I; Conjunctivitis, Hemiopia, Hypopyon, Pterygium, Lachrymal Gland and Lids in Vol. II; Glaucoma, Hyper- metropia and Ophthalmia in Vol, III; Iritis and Pupils in Vol. IV ; Cornea and Retinitis in Vol. V; Sclerotica and Strabismus in Vol VI; Amblyopia in Vol. VII; Meibomian Glands in Vol. VIII and other diseases of the eye scattered about in like manner through the eight large volumes. The Regional plan removes the confusion and absurdities of both these great works. If "The Guiding Symptoms" had been arranged upon this plan, Vol. 1 would probably have contained the symptoms pertaining to Mind, Sensorium' and Head ; Vol. II would contain those devoted to Eyes, Ears'and.Nose. The [same arrangement would have simplified and improved the " Reference^ Hand Book." The eye would then be treated of in one volume, and its diseases and parts could be arranged alphabetically. The Regional arrangement is so obviously an im- provement that all medical works must soon be constructed on that plan. It is the only plan that can bring order out of confusion, and doctors will find this out by experience. The difference between a Materia Medica. and a Practice of Medicine is that the former takes as its pivotal point a medicine, a drug, and discusses what diseases it is likely to cure, whilst the latter takes as its pivotal point a disease and considers all the medicines likely to cure it. The Regional and Comparative Materia'.Medica combines the two. In the first part of every chapter is given the Symptomatology ; this is the Materia Medica. At the end of each chapter is the Repertory ; it is the Practice of Medicine. In the former the medicines are ar- ranged alphabetically, and in the latter the diseases are so arranged. It differs from the'ordinary practice of medicine in that it only gives a list of the names of the medicines to be used, and refers the student to the Symptomatology for'the symptoms, whilst in the Practice of Medicine the symtoms are given after the name of each medicine. In the Practice of Medicine there is an endless repetition of symptoms. The same symptoms are given from five to ten times in the treat- ment of the various diseases. No such useless repetition of symptoms occurs in the Regional and Comparative Materia Medica. There the symptoms are'given in one place, and the only repetition is that of the name of the remedy in the rep- ertory. This is simpler and better, and gives the same information in a cheaper and smaller oook. The Regional and Comparative Materia Medica is therefore not only the best arrangement of the Materia Medica, but it is the most conven- ient and the best work, so far as it goes, on the Practice of Medicine. It makes the most convenient Comparative Materia Medica and the most compact and con- venient Practice of Medicine. The Supplement is arranged on the same plan as the work of which it is the supplement, and contains about one-eighth the reading matter, but is printed in smaller type and has about double the words to its page. It contains about 412 remedies, 200 of which are not in the original work, which contains 260 remedies, about fifty of which are not in the Supplement. The two books contain about 460 remedies. The Supplement explains itself and will give the reader a good idea of the value of the larger work, and this is the reason it is sent to the doctors for ex- amination. We believe it will be found a very convenient book for hasty refer- ence. J. G. Malcolm, M, D., Hutchinson, Kansas. Explanations and Abbreviations. Numbers appearing in the Symptomatology refer 'to the same remedy in the chapter whose number is quoted, thus, in Berberis aq., chapter 3, is the number 33; by turning to Berberis aq., in chapter'33, the reference will be found. Numbers in Roman character refer to the advertising pages. The names of about 200 physicians are quoted in the Supplement, and for the sake of brevity only the initial of many of them are given.

Diphtheria is at first a local disease, propagated by a contagious virus which is an albuminous substance, containing large numbers of bacilli. Hy- drozone, acting upon this virus, changes its nature by coagulating the albumen. The medium in which the germs exist is changed and rendered unfit for their abode and development. Relieved of the deadly poison the animal cells recover their vitality, and health is restored. In doing this hydrozone has no deleterious effect upon the proximate animal cells, as do other powerful antiseptics. The af- fected parts should be sprayed or gargled with R No. 7, page i.

In both, the mucous membrane of the bladder is in a state of inflammation, and is in- fested with pathogenic germs. The treatment consists in rendering the bladder aseptic by the frequent injection of ^ No. 4, page i. followed by injections of 1^ No. 8, page i.

It is unsurpassed in tertiary syphilis. It may be used until the metallic taste becomes pronounced, when we know ihat iodism is at hand. x. Hydrozone. Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Urethritis, Enlargement of the prostate gland. Gleet is simply chronic gonorrhoea, and gonorrhoea is the result of infection by pathogenic germs. The treatment consists of ridding the urethra of these germs, and keeping it free from them and from inflammatory products until nature has time to restore the mucous membrane to a healthy condition. Urethritis, when not the result of infection with the germs of gonorrhoea will readily yield to the same, or similar treatment. Enlarged prostate gland usually takes on a low de- gree of inflammation which causes difficulty and pain on urinating, and the forma* tion of pus. In addition to other treatment, the parts must be kept aseptic and clean. The patient should frequently inject for all these diseases ij. No. 3, page i.

Acetic Acid. Brewer cures many cases of consumption by inhalations of pure acetic acid and feeding his patients peanuts. Aconite. Left lung involved, dare not breath or cough for stitching pains. Cough almost dry, but the little that comes up is tenacious, falling in a little round lump, of a dark, cherry-red color. Antimonium Arsenicosum. Pleurisy. Hearer and Fisher use it in left-sided pleurisy, in recent and old exudations. In desperate cases of left-sided pneu- monia ; not so useful on the right side. But it has acted well even on right-sided pneumonia, and on pleurisy with effusion on the right side. Arsenicum. Acute, sharp, fixed and darting pains in the apex and through the upper third of the right lung, Gregg. Bacillinum. Burnett and others give it for the cure of tuberculosis in the I2x to the ioooc. Dose, not oftener than once a week. It is said to have cured hun- dreds of cases when not too far advanced. Bovinine. Empyaemia, Hydrothorax, Chronic Pleurisy, Pneumothorax, Pneu- monia, Phthisis, Tuberculosis. The Bovinine Company reports numerous cases cured of consumption by the use of bovinine and appropriate remedies, iv. Calcarea Calcined. Wood gives it for cancer and consumption. He bakes oyster shells in an oven and scrapes off the calcined or white portion, triturates it, and gives his patient from 5 to 10 grains daily. Calcarea Phos. Phlegm rattling on the chest, also during dentition Profuse sweat in phthisis, cold extremities, obstinate pain in the lower part of the left lung and in the left hypochondrium. Chelidonium.

In pleuritic effusion ; mix with glycerine and tincture of iodine and apply locally. Heat. Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Grippe, Pleurisy, acute and chronic. Heat bran as hot as possible in a bake-pan in the oven, then put enough in a flour sack so that when the mouth of the sack is rolled over and pinned, and the bran spread out, it will be about two inches thick. Place it under the patient's back, have it reach from the neck down to the loins. Fold a quilt and put under the hips to make the patient comfortable. Change the sack every 20 minutes. This heats up the back and the sympathetic nerve centers and rouses them to action, J. G. M. Hydriodic Acid. In acute and chronic bronchitis, with cough as noted in chap- ter 27 It increases the expectoration and makes it easier, and by its antiseptic action it assists in cleansing the bronchial tubes. One doctor reports 23 cases of pneumonia successfully treated with it. In chronic pleurisy, and sequelae of acute pleurisy, it has been of the greatest value, causing the absorption or the effusion and restoring the patient to health. Its antiseptic properties make it a very valuable remedy in la grippe and its sequelae and especially where the patient complains of a pricking sensation in the hands or feet. ' Dr. Manley gives it to scrofulous, tuberculous and syphilitic patients previous to surgical operation upon them. x. Hydrozone. Consumption, Phthisis, Tuberculosis of the lungs, if taken in the early stages of the disease. It has been proved that this disease is caused by pathogenic germs, known as bacillus tuberculosis of Koch. This germ is instantly destroyed by inhalations of hydrozone. For these inhalations use $. No. 6, page 1. Empyema, or a collection of a purulept fluid in some cavity of the body, and par- ticularly in the pleura ; open the sack and by means of a double current, hard rubber catheter, inject into the cavity 3'i or pure hydrozone. When the ac- cumulation of pus or serum is great the hydrozone should be injected twice each dressing. This should be done once or twice daily and finish up by injecting 3ii of glycozone and insert a drainage tube. i. Ichthyol. Fraenkel extols it in tuberculosis in insipient stages. Give 10 to 20 drops in equal quantities of water 4 times daily. Use mint to disguise the taste. lodium.

Chest troubles where there is a sensation of heat in the chest. Much rattling of mucus in the lungs ; cough worse mornings. Sensation of heat in the chest or heat anywhere with troubles of sudden and frequent flashes of heat all over the body, G. Tuberculinum. Many cures of consumption with it are reported and by nu- merous doctors. Wilson reports a case where improvement set in in one week, and in four weeks the patient had gained twelve pounds.

It is a well known fact that malarial fever, typhoid fever and probably yellow fever are generally produced by the introduction of patho- genic germs into the system by using contaminated water. The heads of families cannot be too particular about the purity of the water they use if they would avoid low types of fever in the family.

Anhydrous Peroxide of Hydrogen formula H2 O2 is a syrupy liquid which con- tains 475 times its volume of Oxygen, Density, 1.452. It is a very unstable compound with slight acid reaction to the litmus paper. Its decomposition into water and nascent oxygen takes place under the most enig- matical circumstances, hence it is not an article of commerce. According to the U. S. Pharmacopoeia, a 3 per cent, acqueous solution of Per- oxide of Hydrogen yields about ten times its own volume of oxygen. (Careful practitioners know that in many cases such a weak solution of H2 O2 is deceiving on account of being powerless to destroy germs.) Charles Marchand's H2 O2 (medicinal) yields fifteen times its own volume of nascent oxygen, which corresponds to a 4.5 per cent, acqueous solution of anhy- drous H2 O2. Hydrozone yields thirty times its own volume of nascent oxygen, correspond- ing therefore to a 9 per cent, aqueous solution of anhydrous H2 O2. It is a pre- served aqueous solution which retains its strength for any length of time when kept at a temperature not exceeding 70 degrees F. Both Hydrozone and my medicinal H2 O2 are slightly acid in taste. Hydrozone is not only twice the strength of my medicinal H2 O2, but is far superior as a healing agent. In no instance should Hydrozone be made either alkaline or neutral before using, even when it is applied to the most delicate diseased mucus membranes. Bacteriological experiments made upon cultures of pathogenic germs demon- strate that : One cubic centimetre of Hydrozone which contains traces of acid, is equiva- lent for its bactericide power to : Two cubic centimetres of the same preparation after it has been made neutral by the addition of either lime water, bicarbonate of soda, ammonia, etc. And to three cubic centimetres of the same preparation after it has been made slightly alkaline by the addition of a small excess of alkali. My medicinal H2 O2 freezes at 8 degrees to 10 degrees F. Hydrozone freezes at about 5 degrees F. When such is the case thaw them out slowly at a tempera- ture not to exceed 65 degrees to 70 degrees F., so as to prevent deterioration.

THE DREVET MANUFACTURING CO., 20 Pine Street, N. Y. 11. Advertisements. Hot flit* Baths. I have arranged with a manufacturing company to furnish me with Hot Air Baths of the very best and most approved pat- tern. They are made in five panels and so they can be folded up and put away in a very small space. They are made of strong, wooden frames on which is stretched good strong canvas, all of which is well painted on both sides. They are nearer air tight than those made wholly of wood and are much lighter, and with care will last a life time. Each bath is supplied with a good al- cohol lamp. These baths are as good and as durable as any made, and are warranted to give satisfaction. Two ounces of wood alcohol are usually sufficient for a good bath. Wood alco- hol costs J1.00 per gallon, enough for sixty-four baths. In acute cases a bath may be taken at any time, but in chronic cases it is usually more convenient to take it on going to bed. A very pro- fuse perspiration can be procured in from ten to fifteen minutes, when the patient may come out and rub thoroughly with a coarse towel, then dress for bed. This will procure a good night's rest, and the patient will get up in the morning feeling better than for months. In rheumatism the lithic acid is carried out of the sys- tem by the sweating process ; the pains are relieved by the heat, and health and comfort are restored without injuring the system with poisonous drugs. In bilious conditions nothing gives so much satisfaction as a good hot air bath. Doctors cannot afford to ignore so valuable a means of restoring their patients to health. The doctor can often win the confidence and gratitude of his pa- tient by selling him a good Hot Air Bath, and advising him how to use it, Price of Cabinet Bath, made as above, $12.00. Of good canvas with only hoop frame, ? (3-50." To physicians who buy these baths of me I will send a neat card to hang up in their offices, as an advertisement, and will al- low them forty per cent, off the above prices. Cash must ac- company all orders. J. Q. MALCOLM, M. D., Hutchinson, Kansas. Advertisements. iii. Practical Homoeopathy. HERING'S "GTJIL31NG SYMPTOMS." KNERR'S "REPERTORY." HERINQ—THE GREAT INTERPRETER. The one great work in Homoeopathic literature which has never become "out of date" is HERING'S "GUIDING SYMPTOMS." It affords an opportunity for the rapid and practical comparison of any puzzling case with similar one recorded by Hering, and shows the clinical uses of the various remedies in an infinite vari- ety. It occupies a unique position in literature and is broad guage in every re- spect It links the practical modern trend of investigation with the unchangeable truths of Homoeopathy. It should be found in the library of every progressive physician—and usually is. Knerr's "Repertory" of Hering's "Guiding Symptoms" Is a transposition of "Guiding Symptoms" in index form. It is in every way an ideal repertory practical for reference to any Materia Medica, and a ready means of suggestion. It is provided with a very complete pathological index. Price of Hering's "Guiding Symptoms," $5.00 per volume, cloth ; $6.00, sheep or half-Russia. Ten royal octavo volumes. Price of Knerr's "Repertory," $10 in either sheep or half-Russia.

WHAT IS H/EMATHERAPY ? A New Thing—and a New Name, which though literally translated (Blood Treatment), may not convey to every one a definite idea. It is a treatment which consists in opposing to a condition of disease the very power—good and sufficient Blood—that would naturally prevent it, that would still cure it sponta- neously, and that actually does cure it spontaneously, wherever the blood-making work of the system is perfectly efficient; and therefore also will cure it, if a de- ficiency of the vital element be supplied from without, under proper medical treatment. That Blood is such a power as here described, is an undisputed physiological fact. Its transmission from one animated organism to another, for the purpose of supplying a defect in the latter, is the substance of the Blood Treatment; and How to Do this, in different cases, is the form or description of the same. Blood may be taken from a healthy bullock (arterial blood—elaborated with due scientific skill); or it may be obtained in the well-attested living conserve known as bovi- nine, from any druggist; and may be introduced into the veins of the patient in either of four ways, that may be most suitable to the case, viz : by the mouth and stomach ; by injection, with one-third salt water, high up in the rectum ; by hypo- dermical injection; or by topical application to any accessible lesion. Professor E. H. Pratt, of Chicago, tells his experience with the use of bovi- nine. He was advised by Dr. C. S. Eldridge, a well known Homeopathic physi- cian and surgeon on State street, to try bovinine in cases of chronic ulcers or gangrene. Soon after the Professor had a very bad case of gangrene of the scrotum resulting from an operation for varix. He used bovinine in combination with the peroxide of hydrogen with so satisfactory results that he has continued the same treatment in numerous cases and has made in this way many astonish- ing cures. A case of necrosis of the tibia is reported. The dead bone was removed and the wound rendered aseptic. A fine sponge was first treated for three hours in a one-fortieth solution of carbolic acid, then a thin shaving was cut from it and soaked in bovinine. This was laid at the bottom of the wound, which was then covered with gauze wet with thiersch ; the wound was dressed daily in this man- ner, but without removing the sponge. As soon as one layer of sponge was filled with granulations another slice was prepared in the same way and placed in the wound. Under this treatment the cavity filled up within seven days, and in a little more than two months the patient was discharged cured. Hundreds of cases similar to the above can be quoted.

A radical statement, but authentic. To maintain normal conditions in the human body, there is absolutely required over three and one-half pounds of water daily, and less than two and one-half pounds of solid food. Water is found in every tissue and part of the body without exception. If it is not pure it defeats the purpose for which it is used.

NEW YORK HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL. Clinical Instruction ITS GREAT FEATURE. WWMM Extensive Ambulance Service, Unsurpassed Facilities for In- struction in Surgery, General Diseases, and all the Specialties. MMMM c2r~^\ Y the present advanced Jl3 system of imparting ^■"^^ medical knowledge by CLINICAL, INSTRUCTION, didactic teaching is passing, except as it enables the student to understand the diseases he witnesses at the bedside, or the operations he sees performed in the ampitheatre. It is the effort of every member of the Faculty of the New York Homoeo- pathic Medical College and Hospital holding practical courses to adopt this advanced method of teaching. After much labor a curriculum has been prepared with this especial end in view, which so far has proved very satisfactory to the classes in attendance. The medical and surgical wards are always filled with men and women who are utilized for the educational purposes of the College as well as being the recipients of a generous and discriminating charity. The Ambulance calls, which average between three and four daily, bring to the Hospitals many com- mon and desperate casualties, or cases of disease, while the Laura Franklin Free Hospital for Children, The Metropolitan Hospital (where in 1897, 8,000 patients were treated and 1,200 surgical operations were performed), and the New York Ophthalmic Hospital (in which 15,000 persons are yearly treated) are all open to the students and regular clinical instruction given. The senior year of the College is one devoted chiefly to clinical instruction. Geo. G. Shelton, M. D., Registrar. Wm. Tod Helmuth, M. D., LL. D., Dean.

Gardner's Syrup of Hydriodic Acid (IODIDE OF HYDROGEN,) The Original Preparation, made by R. W. GARDNER, is now Proven Superior to Iodide of Potassium, in Every Possible Indication. Literature proving the above statement, sent to Physicians on Application. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DRUGGIST TO SUBSTITUTE ANY IHITAT1QN OF THIS SYRUP IN DISPENSING YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS. For Literature, address, R. W. GARDNER, Pharmaceutical Chemist, NEW YORK. Successful results are what physicians desires. Such results cannot be procured from the use of inferior medicines. The reputation, and consequently the success of the physician, as well as the cure of the patient, is in the balance. The best remedies are not too good for the most humble patient. The greatest skill, the most correct diagnosis, and the most conscientious prescribing, are of no avail if the remedy employed is not reliable. Twenty years' use of "Gardner's Syrup of Hydriodic Acid" (Iodide of Hydrogen), the Original Syrup, introduced in 1878, has established the reputation of "Hydriodic Acid" where it stands today. If you do not specify "Gardner's" on your prescriptions, you will rarely obtain it. If you do specify, and your prescriptions are sent to unreliable apothe- caries, you are very apt not to obtain it. Send your prescriptions only to honorable apothecaries. Physicians are never disappointed in results if Gardner's Syrup is ad- ministered. If your use of "Syrup of Hydriodic Acid" has been a failure, specify Gardners, test in one case—and note the difference. Advertisements. xi. An Authoritative Work for the Physician and Pharmacist.
