NOTICE OF THE AMERICAN EDITOR.
  It will be seen that in.this first  volume of the Manual
the  Editor has  used  Dr.  Hempel?s version  in  place of
the  very  defective  translation heretofore adopted in  this
work.  This volume is therefore  an epitome of the larger
w< rk of Jahr, recently published by Mr.  Radde, {the Symp
tomen Codex) with the addition of Clinical observations from
Hahnemann, Ilartmann,  and others of  good  report in the
School.  The Empirical Observations from the Old School,
heretofore arranged at the head of the several  chapters,
have been transposed  to the end  of  the volume, where
they will be found alphabetically arranged.
  In  addition  to the credit and  thanks justly due to
Dr.  Hkmpel, the Editor acknowledges with  very  great
satisfaction the obligation he is under to Egbert Guernsey,
M.D., for his laborious  co-operation involved in  produc
ing this edition.
  The  " Introduction"  of Jahr,  from the French edition,
has been abridged ; but  the Editor hopes the professional
critic will find nothing of imminent practical value left out.

INTRODUCTION.
        I.--ON THE SYMPTOMS COLLATED IN THIS WORK.

   Our plan of collating the effects of medicaments consists in pre-
senting primarily t the  pure  pathogenetic effects;  and secondarily,
as perfecting the former, the sufferings known from experience to
have been cured by them.  In composing the first edition of our work,
we took an entirely opposite course, and preferred for our basis the
symptoms  which, in the practice of medicine, had contributed to in-
dicate the remedies.  But reflecting that these symptoms are much
less certain than symptoms purely pathogenetic, we changed our
course in the second  edition, taking the pure Materia Medica for
the basis.  There was a single inconvenience which attended this
procedure,  that two sets of symptoms were thrown together with-
out distinction. On the other  hand, this inconvenience was not,
it is true, followed by any  serious  result; inasmuch as the direct
symptoms  indicated the circumstances  in which a medicine, ac-
cording to our principles, ought to act favourably; whilst the symp-
toms  cured discover those  in which  the medicine  has acted with
good  effect,  which for the  practice amounts to the same thing, if
in  relation to  these last, it was certain that they had disappeared
under the action of the remedy.

   For this reason we have endeavoured, in this edition, to distin -
guish as far as possible the two  kinds  of symptoms,  designating by
a  zero (°) those which, without having been observed  as pathoge-
netic symptoms, have, notwithstanding, been cured by the medicine;
and by an asterisk  (*) those  which have been observed at the same
time as pathogenetic effects and clinical indications ; while those
pathogenetic effects which have not as yet contributed to any known
cases of cure are left v' hout any distinguishing sign.   Thus  each 
vi                      INTRODUCTION.
 symptom can be estimated according to its true value, and applied
 according to the confidence placed in the respective classes which
 we propose to establish.  For our own part we are never guided bj
 single symptom ;  it is the general characteristic resulting from the
 total pathogenesis, that controls us in our appreciation of particular
 symptoms  of every kind. This is  our rule for determining the
 choice of a medicine ; it is the rule we have observed in tracing out
 the tableaux of this work ; and it should be that of every Homoeo-
 pathic physician  who would  escape deception  For, when some
 isolate feature fails in exact resemblance to the symptomatology oi
 the Materia medica, the total physiognomy, such  as results from
 the ensemble of the symptoms, will not on that account be less exact
 than the best portrait after nature ;  and whosoever shall acquire by
 profound study the truly essential characteristic will be in possession
 of a science that the knowledge of single features can never give.

  That the sphere of action of medicines may be better settled we
 have given a more extended number of symptoms than in the pre-
 vious editions.  This, it is true, has rendered the coup d''ceil more
 difficult; but the  clinical observations, which are to be found at the
 end of this volume, are alphabetically arranged in a clinical index,
 will prove  ample aids to bring them into favourable  light and to
form a much more concise resume without interfering  in the least
with the residue.  It is not intended, however,  that the  symptoms
 marked in italics  should determine the choice of remedies to  the
 exclusion of the others.   Every symptom has a relative value.
but no one in an  absolute manner. That which is characteristic
in the pathogenesis of a medicine is  only relatively so to the medi-
 cines which possess it not; and the same  symptom which, in such
 or such a series of comparisons,  has no distinctive  value, because
 common to them all, acquires  the highest importance on comparing
this medicine with another.

  In this manner we have  generally distinguished those phenomena
which appeared to predominate over the others in the same organ,
or those sensations which seemed to re-appear most frequently in
organs which were most unlike, &c.  We  have frequently, also,
distinguished in two alternating effects, that which seemed to occur
the most frequently, although, in almost every case, the one and
 other of these effects had an equal importance.  Thus it is that Diar-
 rhcea  and Constipation  in Nux vomica, thirst and thirstlessness in
 Pulsatilla, burning pain and  ice-cold sensation in Arsenic, are one
 and all alike characteristic for  the  choice of the medicine,  when

the rest of the symptoms accord with the disease.   There is also a
phenomenon  more constant than is generally imagined : all medi-
cines, principally the  polychrests, which have some well marked
symptom, hold equally in alternation this  symptom and the pheno-
menon opposed to it; and it is generally wrong to consider one symp-
tom as primitive, and another as secondary or consecutive : for one
or other (according to the individuals) can, in reality, first manifest
itself.   And  is not the  same fact observable in a large number of
diseases sui generis. ?   Does not Typhus, for  example, produce in-
cessant sleeplessness and then the most profound coma, or stupidity
at times and  then delirium, or constipation the most obstinate, or
diarrhoea the  most  violent, according to the constitution of the indi-
vidual affected 1  The  question of similia  and contraria does not
hang on the relation of some isolate symptoms, but on the totality
of the phenomena, the general aspect of the disease and the patho-
genesis  of the medicament.  But this is not the place for the dis-
cussion of this question, of which we have  simply taken note, and
to which we have given a passing glance, merely to answer those
who  have desired  to  know how we  have, among contrary or con-
tradictory effects, distinguished that  which is primitive from that
which is consecutive.
       II.--ON  THE  USE  OF  THE  HOMOEOPATHIC  DOSES.

  Beside the pathogenesis and  resume of clinical cases, some re-
marks upon the doses used and the duration  of their action, may
be found at the head of each medicine.—In regard  to  the doses,
we  have selected them as found in authors, regarding them only as
historical authority,  but in no respect as absolute rules.  The ques-
tion of dilution must always be secondary, relatively to  that of the
medicine.   Hahnemann employs the thirtieth in preference, others
such as they find in the pharmacopoeias, and others pass from one
dilution to another, especially in cases of repetition.  Dr. Mure, in
an article inserted in the Bibliotheque de Geneve, prefers the use of
the  first (low) attenuations in acute diseases, and those of the last
(high) in chronic  maladies.   We ourselves, in the preface  to a
former  Paris edition, expressed similar opinions regarding the  dif-
ferent dilutions,  and virtually  the same  up  to  the  present  time 
Viil                    INTRODUCTION.
in this form :  that if any distinction is to be maintained for prac-
tice, we think that the first attenuations  generally  answer  the
best for maladies whose progress is  rapid,  while  the last accord
with those whose progress is tedious.  But another question arises
for information : whether, in cases where the low dilutions seem to
be required (such as  some primitive forms of syphilis, gonorrhoea,
&c), a desirable result cannot be attained by administering the last
dilutions in reiterated doses, and especially  by spoonful doses  of a
watery  solution 1 For whatever may be the increase of strength
which the remedies may acquire by trituration or shaking, it is not
the less true that there follows  at the same time a loss  of power,
inasmuch as any quantity of the thirtieth dilution will always prove
more feeble than an equal volume of the first.  The thing  is  per-
fectly evident, if we compare the effects  which ten drops of the
crude tincture of Arsenic will produce, with those which result from
ten drops of the thirtieth.  The observation is equally applicable to
those substances  which  are called inert in their natural state, in
this, that if we take a grain of Lycopodium, or pure Carbon, but suf-
ficiently triturated to become active, this grain will act more than
an equal volume of the thirtieth dilutions of these substances.   But
on the other hand, it is ascertained that by these dilutions the body
of the substances has been dilated or expanded in its surface; and,
in this manner, not only affects a greater  number of our organs,
when taken, but also developes all its atoms, which remain inactive
in the compact state,  and by consequence, allows a display of their
entire action.   For example,  a  hundred drops of the  first dilution
will produce, together, an effect infinitely more decided than can be
obtained by a single drop of the crude tincture;  yet in the hundred
drops of the first dilution there is not in reality any  more medicinal
matter than existed in the single drop of the crude tincture. Whence
it appears that, while a single drop of  the  thirtieth in itself, may
be more feeble than a drop of the first, a certain number of drops
may constitute a dose, which, by the  extension of its active atoms,
will not only  prove equal, but even  surpass the power of the  first
dilutions.

   This is not the appropriate place  to  treat of the preparation of
doses, which justly belongs to the pharmacopoeias ; notwithstanding,
we will propose this question : For the development of the dynamic
virtue of a medicine, will it answer to move the atoms of substances,
either by shaking or trituration, or will it not  be preferable to ad-
vance from dilution to dilution to reach the greatest extension pos-
sible of the atoms as to surface?  We have seen  the ingenious in- 
INTRODUCTION.
IX
strument of trituration, invented by Mure, and the really powerful
machine with which he effects the dilutions  of his medicines ; we
have used the medicines prepared by these means, and  must con-
fess that, in respect to activity, they absolutely leave nothing to be
desired, unless that their effects are sometimes in direct proportion
to the increased number of shakings they may have received.—The
essential requisite is that the mixture  shall  be as intimate, as pos-
sible ; and to produce this result it is necessary that the  substances
be agitated up to a certain point; but, for a medicine mixed with
alcohol in the proportion of 1 to 100, it is probable that after  50 or
100 shakings, the  combination of all  the atoms will be effected as
completely as possible.—The palpable advantage which a machine
offers for shaking,  appears in the power of preparing medicines in
the proportion of 1 to 100, and perhaps, also, of 1 to 10,000, advan-
cing even up to the thirtieth.   Through a  mechanism  which will
conveniently allow agitation in  so large proportions, we  can obtain
all that is to be coveted in relation to the development of the virtue
of medicines.
              III.—ON THE REPETITION OP DOSES.

  We have treated, at length, of the dilution to be employed,  in a
separate article, feeling that this question appeared less important
for practice than that of the multiplication of doses, or  of the repe-
tition according to the occasion.  Give, if you please, during a cer-
tain time, 10, 12, or 15 globules to the sick, and also one entire drop
of the first dilutions:  and  on abstaining from the  repetition of the
dose until a new indication  supervenes, you will not perceive a more
unpleasant aggravation than  if you  had  administered some  glo-
bules of the last dilutions, and in this case, the difference will be, by
no means, in proportion to  the relative volume of the medical sub-
stance taken.

  Change your experiment, on the contrary :  take a single globule
of any dilution, whether of the first or of the thirtieth, and dissolve
it in 10, 12, or 15 spoonfuls of water, and give the solution to the
sick by spoonfuls;  the aggravations that will follow in particular
cases, e-pecially in some chronic affections will be much more vio- 
X
INTRODUCTION.
lent, and  much  less  easy to  combat, than those which appear in
consequence  of one entire drop, also of the first dilution, when it
has been taken at a single time. We have remarked this fact more
than a hundred  times  in the course  of our  observations;  and
Hahnemann himself has given it as his opinion that one or two glo-
bules taken at a single time form  a feeble  and most gentle dose,
while the  same globules dissolved in a  quantity of water and taken
in repeated spoonfuls have a much more decided action upon the or-
ganism.   Frequently, it is true, a patient may take a spoonful of a
like  solution for a fortnight, every evening or every morning, with-
out any misadventure; but it is not less frequently the case that, af-
ter the use of the  solution, an aggravation arises proportionately more
violent than  the state of the patient had been satisfactory during
the taking of the medicament, an aggravation which, in many cases,
does not yield to  a new dose of the solution, but to return, in con-
sequence, with renewed intensity, resembling in action  the  reliel
afforded by palliatives. On this account, however salutary and how-
ever preferable this mode of administering medicines in repeated do-
ses may be in many  cases, it is nevertheless not always applicable,
and demands for  its successful employment to be based on fixed prin-
ciples and rules.  These rules, we very well know,  cannot be esta-
blished with any certainty but by comparing a great number of the
most contradictory observations; and, if we here essay to express
our  opinion on this subject, it is only with the intention of present-
ing  some  ideas for a more extented examination in the  solution  of
this  important question.  Our ideas, in other respects, are the same
as those we have expressed in our first edition, but more matured.

   The principle which, according to our views, and oonformably to
the basis  of our science, should lead to a view of the question in its
true aspect is, that true, durable and radical cures are never effected
by the direct action of a medicine,  but  by  a reaction of nature
excited by it ; whence there follows as a first general consequence,
that every repetition of doses is at least superfluous, except entire-
ly displaced, whilst this reaction follows its course.  Thus we ob-
serve in a large number  of functional lesions not very inveterate,
often the  single  taking of an appropriate medicines  an amelioration
established, which, with very unimportant interruptions, continues
in general up to  the entire cessation of suffering. To administer rei-
terated doses immediately after, in such cases, or to renew the first
taken upon  a slight and sudden diminution that this  amelioration
may undergo, would be opposing  nature in her efforts, and most
certainly retard  the cure. Also in some recent and trifling organic 
INTRODUCTION.
XI
lesions a  cure may  be frequently obtained much more  promptly
by the administration  of  a  single dose.   But it is quite the con-
trary inN all very  severe cases of organic lesions, especially those
which result from the energetic action of some poison, miasm, or
medicinal substance. In such instances the disease appears to have
its own peculiar vital power, which controls the vital  force of the
organization,  and obstructs  or  promptly neutralizes the reaction,
which requires for its support a new and constant activity sufficient
to triumph over the  disease.   Here■ we can administer repeated do-
ses, in solutions, with the greatest success, whether the dilutions be
the first or last, provided they are only continued to the necessarv
point for  establishing  the  victorious reaction of the vital principle.
The same rule applies to all the organic lesions, which, from their
nature, maintain a continual focus of irritation in the parts affected,
such as inflammations with suppuration, ulcers, some forms of dis-
organizations, &c.

   In some cases of  chronic diseases, characterized by a kind of in-
 ertness and want of reaction, we  may have similar recourse to rei-
 terated doses of globules dissolved in  water ; but this depends upon
 another reason and in  regard to a  design quite different from that of
 the preceding cases. For  whilst we struggle to combat the violence
 of the disease which triumphs over the reaction, we will also endea-
 vour to aggravate the malady, so to speak, before arousing it  from
 its inertness, and thus elicit the reaction of the vitality of the orga-
 nism.  Nevertheless these trials are not always without danger, and
 it is necessary to proceed with much  caution, lest the  aggravation,        |
 on developing itself, may  be so violent as to render insufficient the
 reaction  of  the vital force.  Therefore in similar cases we  must
 most cautiously administer the repeated doses at  intervals as short
 as possible, and arrest them on witnessing the supervention of the
 first signs of an aggravation.

   Finally, there is another case in which we may repeat the doses: ii
 is when after, a time more or less prolonged, the  disease improves,
 and vet the symptoms indicate the same medicine more  than any
 other.   But these cases seldom occur, except we have given a
 single dose one time for all, or many spoonfuls to the point of aggra-
 vation, the effects  of which we await without further action; and
 then it is essential that we are certain of the cessation of the ag-
 gravation before we have recourse to a repetition. 
XII
INTRODUCTION.
      IV.—ON THE DURATION OF THE  ACTION OF MEDICINES.

   What we have said regarding the period when the repetition of a
 single dose should seem to be indicated, applies equally to the choice
 of a medicine.   For  every aggravation, after an appropriate time,
 is not always  a natural aggravation  of the disease;  frequently,
 on the contrary, it is dependent upon a new excitement provoked by
 the medicine which continues to act; and here nothing better can be
 done than to wait, since it will generally subside in a few days and
 give place  to a much more decided expression.  We frequently wit-
 ness this development, especially in chronic diseases, after  the ad-
 ministration of a single dose,  one time for all. Frequently the two
 and  three  first  days are good: then  follows a  light aggravation
 which disappears and renews  itself occasionally  for some time:  so
 that generally in the first fortnight, and especially during the third
 week, the  number of bad days exceed those of the  good, while a
 change finally takes place at  the conclusion of the  month; the fa-
 vourable days  now exceeding the  bad, a durable benefit is estab-
 lished and  continues  to the seventh and eighth weeks, an epoch in
 which the relics of the disease, which have not been completely de-
 stroyed, commence their reappearance.—In  the mean time, there is
 a case where the aggravation  is only the last effort of the action of
 the medicine, an effort that does not fail to subside in several  days,
 leaving the disease, if not entirely cured, at least in such a  state
 that  no other means offer a more favourable issue.  To apply a new
 medicine in such a case without knowing what might be developed
 must frequently annul the whole treatment while by carefully watch-
 ing  and  understanding the progress of the vital reaction, we may
 frequently obtain in two months, with a single dose of a single medi-
 cine, an  acceleration  of cure, which could not be done in two years
by a continual change of medicines, or by inappropriate multiplica-
tion  of doses.   Such is our oft-repeated experience in following out
the precepts Hahnemann gives on this  subject in his Orgonon, and
in the first volume on Chrome Maladies; and to it we seriously call
the attention of every Homoeopathic physician.   It is never neces-
sary, in any chronic disease, to change the medicine without having
observed, at least  during five or six days,  the aggravation which
seemed to demand it;  and, likewise, those which sometimes occur aj-
'tor the cessation of a medicine administered by  spoonfuls ought to 
INTRODUCTION.
xiii
 be treated after the same manner, that is to say, to allow the medi-
 cine to act so long as there is any room to  hope for improvement.

   Notwithstanding the indispensable rule that a  salutary remedy
 shall be allowed to expend its entire action, including the occasional
 momentary aggravation, we must not hesitate to interfere with the
 medicine we have  chosen.—1.  When it produces no effect; or 2.
 When its effect is unfavourable.   The first of these conditions will
 be revealed to  the attentive  physician when he observes no symp-
 tom peculiar to the medicine, and when the state of the disease re-
 mains stationary, or is progressively aggravated without amelioration
 in any respect, presenting only such symptoms as belong to a more
 advanced state of the malady.  It is then that the  phyician will do
 well to make an immediate repetition of the medicament administered,
 even to the extent of producing some change.   If there follows
 an improvement, even though it be slight, it will be necessary  to
 watch the alternations of good and bad, as we have before indicated,
 but if, on the contrary, the state  be rendered worse after the repe-
 tition, we must observe whether the aggravation be salutary,  or
 whether it  be owing to badly chosen medicine from the prolonged
 action of which we  must expect  unfavourable results.  This last
 may be easily recognized when the supervening aggravation, which
 may be a contest of the medicinal symptoms, is neither preceded nor
 interrupted by a single moment of comfort, and when, at the same
 time, the originally manifested disease makes its progress in  the
fashion of the general symptoms.   In this case the physician  ought
 not fail to replace the acting medicine by one which responds more
 accurately to the ensemble of the malady, and which will also cover
 the symptoms produced by the acting medicine.

   We can lay down  as a principle that, if the general state, and es-
 pecially the moral condition  of the patient  be ameliorated, the phy-
 sician  should await the  action of the medicine, whatever may be the
 state of the local signs in other respects ; but whenever the patient
 is worse in these respects (the general state including the moral) with-
 out any promise of a favourable termination, the medicine should be
 changed.  The time justly required for observation, before deciding
 for or against, should be at least 5, 6 or 8 days in chronic diseases,
 as we have before stated ; and in  acute diseases from 15 to 30 min-
 utes, or from 6 to 12  or 24 hours, according to the degree of vio-
 lence and the more or less rapid progress of the disease.  Thus on
 examining the state of the invalid, we  have frequently witnessed
 the salntarv action of the medicines prolonged to 24,48 and 96 hours, 
XIV
INTRODUCTION.
in acute diseases, and to seven and eight weeks in chronic maladies.
These  are  the views we have wished to make known in indicating
the duration of the action of each medicine.
                V.  ON ANALOGOUS REMEDIES.

  A salutary medicine having expended its action,  the disease will
be frequently left in a state which is less characterized by the kind
of symptoms than by the diminution of their intensity, so that we feel
that we  should  repeat the same  medicine.  In the mean time, on
carefully examining the patient, we  shall observe  some  shades of
variation, even though very delicate ; it is then that another medi-
cine is frequently indicated which in its pathogenesis bears a strong
resemblance to the  first.  On this account, Hahnemann has indicated
Calcarea or Nitric acid,  as  suitable after  Sulphur, Lycopudium,
&c.   Dr. Constantine  Hering has increased these indications,
which we  have taken  pains to  add to the descriptions of me-
dicines  for facilitating researches  of every kind to  the phy-
sician.  And  to render useful  the  other  affinities besides those
which Hahnemann and Hering have indicated, we have given at
the head of each medicine, under the rubric, " compare  with," a
list of those which seemed to  have the closest analogy, and which,
on occasion, could not only be administered after, but also serve as
antidotes to this medicine.. This list frequently differs from that of
Bcenninghausen, because  the additions  which the pathogenesis of
many medicines has received in latter times, has also developed
their  analogies.

  The principal advantage which the physician can draw from these
indications is in making comparative studies of analogous medicines,
the better  to establish their points of dissimilarity, and to avoid a
multitude of deceptions which  cannot  fail to arise if they be con-
fused in the  administration of one  for the other, as for example,
Lachesis in the place of  Mercury, Veratrum  or China,  in that of
Arsenic, &c   A deplorable abuse of these indications would be, on
the contrary, to take them for  an absolute guide for a choice, and
to give  a series of analogous medicines without any other reason
than  this analogy ;  or  again, to precede a medicine still indicated
by another which  is not,  only  because it has been reputed to be

efficacious  after the use of the first.  The fundamental law for the
employment of medicines is always the similitude of symptoms
and the necessity of allowing the medicine to expend its action.  An
analogous medicine cannot be thought of until the action of the first
has been expended, and then it should be only used on a comparison
of symptoms, and a conviction of the fitness of its indication.

   In the article of Antidotes, we have indicated medicines,  of
which that  in question is the antidote itself, persuaded as we are, in
many cases, that the antidotal relations of two medicines  are reci-
procal, and that by the  one we can relieve the others.  Besides, it
is necessary in the choice of antidotes, as in that of medicines  in
general, to follow them in their series.   The best antidote will al-
ways be that which best answers to the symptoms; and, in general,
it will be much more profitable  not  to lose  time in seeking for an
antidote, but to make use  of the medicine which most clearly accords
with the ensemble of the  symptoms which the patient presents.  If
this medicine partake of both relations (antidotal and homoeopathic,)
so much the better ; but if it possess neither of these, he must not
hesitate to  search after one'that is more suitable.
        VI. ON  THE  MANNER  OF USING THIS MANUAL.

  Having already given instructions  for the  practical use of this
Manual, we  deem  it equally important to make a few remarks on
the mode of pursuing the study of the medicines.   We should com-
mence by glancing at the clinical index, for which the employment
of a medicine has been recommended, taking into consideration such
cases  only as are distinguished by italics, and in comparing each
one of the cases with the pathogenetic symptoms, which can indi-
cate the medicine in a given case.  This  investigation once  made
for the cases which are prominent, the same will answer for the rest,
and may  be extended to other cases than those we have cited, but
which must ever depend on the ensemble of the symptoms.  In this
manner we gradually become  familiarized with the medicine, and
begin to have a sufficient general knowledge thereof.   To attain
this knowledge it will answer a good purpose to make extracts from
this Manual.   But if the practitioner be much occupied, he  may
abridge this labour by underlining,  in red, all the clinical cases and 
XVI

such symptoms as we have distinguished by italics, and in order
to have  some guiding marks at once, a frame work which he can
gradually fill up in the course of his practical researches, take pains
to underline, in red, the symptoms he may have not so distinguished.
A person beginning to act thus respecting  the medicines, and com-
paring the most  analogous  medicines with each other, will soon
find that he has not done enough, but appalled by the mass of the
symptoms will feel that he ought have recourse to Hahnemann's
most important works : " Materia Medica  and Chronic  Diseases"
for the pursuance of these studies, to procure the ample details of
symptoms which the last analysis requires.

   The complete knowledge of the  Materia Medica  is not as diffi-
cult  as has been generally thought, and all  depends upon the
manner in which it is undertaken.   By proceeding  in a methodic
manner, and by progressing from generals to particulars, the student
cannot fail in the  end to master the most complex lessons of this
art.  The course of study should begin with those medicines which
are most useful, and gradually extended step by step down the scale
of importance till the remainder are understood also.

   The Homceopathist, in making choice of a remedy for a case  of
disease, excludes none of the medicines from the inquest, but takes
all under consideration impartially ; and in the practice it is indis-
pensable  to  take  this course.—Whilst, in a  preparatory study of
the Materia Medica, it is better to avoid the attempt to form a coup-
d'ceil of all the medicines at once, and to study only one or a few  at
a time.  Finally, that physicians may have the study of the selection
of medicines facilitated, we have in Table  I. indicated those which
are most used, and after this we have prepared another (Table II).
which contains a classification of the medicines according to their
importance.  These classes are five in number, each one of which
is divided into five parts, except the last, which is composed of medi-
cines  not  much known.  At  the end of this table  will  be found
a plan of  study arranged  so that  the student who follows it will
thoroughly examine the medicines,  and  very  much extend his
knowledge of  a  great number of them.   We have  divided it into
three parts : the  first including seven studies of all of the most im-
portant, and the two others of eleven each for the details.  By de-
voting a  week to each of these studies, in eight months time the
student may acquire the contents of our Manual, when he may also
undertake the  comparison of analogous medicines, a labour which,
in every case, will prove equally productive with the others. 
                         INTRODUCTION.                   XVU

  The new student of Homoeopathia should pursue this labour, then,
so indispensable to the acquirement of a certain degree of safety in
practice.  To see  all the Homceopathic physicians give that atten-
tion to our science which its importance demands, will unquestion-
ably  prove a more agreeable recompense than we could have wished,
for all the industry and trouble that the new remodelling of our work
has necessarily required at our hands.

happens that the medicine aggravates the symptoms and makes the patient tempo-
rarily worse, which is,  nevertheless, a good sign.  In such cases, the patient should
cease to take any more, and wait for the effects of what he has taken. If the aggrava-
tion is very  violent,  let him smell of camphor, but not change  the  remedy.  But
should the beneficial effect of the medicine  be interrupted and cease altogether, the
patient growing worse  in consequence of taking cold, eating improper food, &e, he
should take  something to counteract  the  cause  which  occasioned this interruption,
and then recur to the same medicine which had previously  produced the favourable
change.  With regard to the external  application of the tincture of Arnica, Hyperi-
cum, Ruta,  Symphytum, &c. it is only necessary to put 1 or 2 drops of the remedy in
a wine-glass of water and apply this 3 or 4 times a  day,  or as often as mentioned
under each particular case, to the injured part.

               EXPLANATION OF  SIGNS

 EMPLOYED TO DESIGNATE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SYMPTOMS.

    The symptoms which have no sign are symptoms purely patho-
genetic, that is to say symptoms produced by pure experiment.

    (*) The asterisk designates the pathogenetic symptoms which
have been confirmed by cures.

    (°) The cipher indicates the  symptoms  or  the circumstances
under the presence of which the medicine has acted favourably, but
which have not as yet been observed as pathogenetic symptoms.

    (") The stroke above is intended to annul the indication of the
preceding sign.  Thus, where this stroke is not found, the last sign
of a phrase always influences all the rest.  On the contrary, all
that comes after this stroke is fully equivalent to the  symptoms
which have no  sign and belong  to the observations purely patho-
genetic. 
TABLES AND EXPLANATIONS.
xlvii
    All the signs will be often found in a single phrase, as for in-
stance in the following:
    Itching, * shooting-pains and pressure in the eyes'" and in  the
eye-lids, °especially at night, *or in the evening, "as well as in  the
morning.

    In this phrase  there are first:  Itching, shooting pains  and
pressure,  which have been observed, all three,  as  pathogenetic
symptoms, but of which the two last, shooting pc ins and pressure,
have been at the same time removed by the medicine in one case of
cure, as the asterisk (*)  indicates.  But the  stroke (~) before and
in the eye-lids announces at the same time that the cure has as yet
been observed only for the eyes and not for the eye-lids,  for which
the observation is not pathogenetic.    Then  comes the cipher  (°)
before especially at night,  which declares that these sensations, in
the case cured, had taken place at night, but  that at that hour they
had  not been observed  as pathogenetic effects.   But the second
asterisk  (*) before in the evening, means that at that latter period,
these symptoms have taken place, as well in the case of cure, as in
quality of pathogenetic effects.  The last stroke (~) indicates finally
that the appearance of these  symptoms, in the morning, has been
hitherto observed only as pathogenetic effects.
   ( f ) The note of interrogation is placed after  the name of  any
disease which has not yet, to our knowledge,  been cured by that
remeSty* with absolute certainty,  or  which has been recommended
merely upon theoretical  grounds.
    (; ) The semicolon in this work has not been employed to sepa-
rate the parts of one and the same symptom ; it has only been used
for the purpose of distinguishing the part after it, as being entirely
different from the part preceding.   Thus, " vertigo in the evening;
when walking in the open air ; with nausea, "<tc,. means :—Verti-
go m the evening; vertigo  when walking in the open air; vertigo
with nausea, &c.
     The symptoms printed in  italics are generally those which have
been observed  or removed more frequently than  the others; but
this distinction has been made only with relation to the symptoms
of the same organ, and  often even only for the kind of sufferings,
so that one pain for instance, has been distinguished  only  with
relation to other pains, and not with relation  to other symptoms of
the same organ,  and still less with relation to all the  symptoms of
the  medicine.    It  is thus,  for instance, that in the following
 phrase :
      Pressure, itching,  and shooting pains  in  the eyes and in the
eye-lids, the passage printed  in italics means only that the shoot-
ing pains have been observed oftener than the itching and the pres-
sure,  and that they have taken place more  frequently in the eyes
 than in the eye-lids.

    [CLINICAL REMARKS. * — Hahnemann.  The very
 careful  observations of the venerable founder  of homoeo-
 pathy, deserve the strictest attention.  Viz., " that Aconite
 causes a prompt removal  of  inflammatory action without
 consecutive  effect  in  fevers, called  purely inflammatory;
 acts magically in Measles,  Purpura miliaris, in inflammatory
 fevers with Pleurisy, &c,  if the  regimen be somewhat cool-
 ing ;   is an indispensable  remedy  in the most  obstinate
 chronic affections, in -which the state of the  body requires a
 diminution of  what is called rigidity  of fibre,  (sthenic dia-
 thesis, &c.); is the first and most  powerful curative agent
 in Croup,  several  kinds of Angina, and other local inflam-
 mations, especially when  thirst  and frequent pulse are  at-

   * The  Clinical Remarks—in the  previous editions of this Manual—
comprise so  many repetitions, that we shall arrange them, and the addi-
tions of Noack and Trinks, in an alphabetical form, at the close of the
volume, while their place will be supplied by practical observations de-
rived from the best medical authors, properly accredited.   Ed.

tended  by great impatience, agitation which  nothing can
calm, and tossing from side to side in great agony;  cures
morbid  states in persons whose  minds have been  excited
from fear  and indignation ;  is indispensable for females who
suffer from fear or contrarieties during the catamenia, which
otherwise might be interrupted ; may be salutary  for  those
symptoms (which follow), principally of a tonic  character,
which appear to be contradictory, but  are  alternate states;
and  will  prove inoperative through vegetable acids,  wine,
and other remedies which correspond palliatively or homceo-
pathically with its effects in excessive doses."
  Hartmann.   " Sanguine temperament, robust constitution,
and diminution of the pains when moving, especially indicate
this  remedy.   Inflammatory fever—for which  aconite is a
specific—is characterized by :  constant burning heat over the
whole body, with redness of skin; distention and redness  of
the face; eyes  glistening  and prominent;  respiration  short
and anxious;  dry,  red tongue, in rare cases it is somewhat
coated with mucus; great  thirst, constipation  and even ab-
sence of  dejections; inappetence; hot,  red urine, which is
passed  in small quantities;  sleeplessness, jactitation, rest-
lessness,  and anxiety.   In all  local inflammations, attended
by this  fever,  as Pleurisy, Pneumonia, Carditis, Enteritis, &c,
Aconite is frequently required,  either as a direct or pre-
paratory  expedient.   In Congestions, Seething of blood, and
Haemorrhages of various kinds,  it is indispensable.   In acute
diseases,  where all remedies which seem to be indicated are
ineffectual, or affect too powerfully without improvement,
aconite often  removes very quickly this hyper-excitation of
the nervous system ;  by this treatment, the remedies  which
are then indicated act  more favourably."
   Our  experience  has confirmed the most of the  above ob-
servations, with the  exception, perhaps, of Croup.  In An-
gina membranacea, or True Croup,  the use of Aconite  in-
volves  a vital loss of time:  Tartar emetic, or Bichromate
of  potash, should be instantly applied according to their
indications.   In the advanced  stages  of  Phthisis pulmona-
 lis, a sudden  sense of suffocation  sets  in, attended by pros-
 tration and  expression of death, which we  have promptly
 palliated by repeated doses of this drug.   Ed.]

  " Camphor and spirits of nitre do not seem to act sufficient-
ly as antidotes ;  smelling  of coffea cruda is a powerful anti-
dote against the anger and the vehemence consequent upon
the use of Anacardium.
  Noack and  Trinks. — The " Confectio anacardina seu
sapientium " has been celebrated as  a distinguished remedy
against weakness of mind, memory and the senses.  Never-
theless, R, A. Vogel (Hist. Materia Med., p. 276,)  remarks:
That " Caspar Hoffmann has  called  this  confection  of the
wise a confection of fools, because  many had lost their me-
mory  and had become mad on account of using it too often
and inconsiderately."  Hence it was  only the  improper and
too frequent use of  Anacardium that made it hurtful; if ap-
plied correctly, it became curative."

   Epilepsies produced by moral causes (such  as, for  exam-
 ple, very impassioned lay-preaching), are promptly and du-
 rably cured by  a few small doses of this drug, whilst those
 proceeding from abdominal irritation, independently of moral
 causes, are, at best, but  poorly palliated by very large  and
 frequently-repeated doses.   The same observation must, I
 am persuaded, hold good with respect to gastric disturbances;
 those only will  be really cured by it which have arisen during
 too great or too long-continued mental exertion.
   The bodily symptoms being similar to those  produced by
 this drug, I should regard it as an indispensable remedy when
 there are the following moral conditions :—
   1. A  crowd  of impulses to act,  to  move,  to  be  busy,
 which, without any distinct purpose  to  effect, keeps the  pa-
 tient in continual motion ;  a state of unrest, which gives the
 appearance of hurry and discontent to all, his conduct.
   2. The opposite of the foregoing condition; not the calm-
 ness of deportment which occurs when the mind is in health-
 ful contemplation, but an apathy indicative of a privation of
 motive or purpose; a state verging upon, and  often ending
' in, perfect imbecility.   Or,
   3.  Errors and defects of perception.  The erroneous  per-
 ceptions in which I have seen nitrate useful, have been :—1,
 As to time; the patient  constantly fearing  he should be
 too late, and supposing  that one or  two hours  had elapsed,
 when not more  than a quarter or an  eighth of the supposed
 time had passed, and this all the while, night  and day, for
 many weeks together;  and 2,  Errors as to the velocity of
 gait, the patient supposing that he was walking very rapidly
 when he was in fact moving but very slowly indeed.
   Moreover,  I  should  regard  the  nitrate  as  the remedy,
 (other indications existing for its use,) in all severe commo-
 tions of the system arising from  too great acuteness  of the
 perceptive  organs :  c.  g.,   certain  forms of  epilepsia and
 chorea.
   It is, I think,  probable, that silver will be found as strictly
 adapted to the cure of morbid perceptions, and  their con-
 comitant disturbances in the digestive, motor, and genital
 apparatus, as gold is to  the removal  of diseased affections,
 and their consensual motory and genital diseases.  However
 the reader may regard the foregoing speculations of Muller,
 he cannot, if lie be a thorough  student  of Hahnemann, per-
 mit them to have the slightest weight with him in the  choice
 or rejection of the nitrate of silver as a remedy for a case in
 hand; they are beyond the limits  of  possible testimony,
 and for all  known purposes  of  the homoeopathic art they

would be  useless, even  if demonstrably true, because we
have no possible means of knowing when the pneumo-gastric
nerve  or the abdominal ganglia  are the  essential  site of
disease."—Ed.]

  PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY.—The plexus choroideus

ed appearance.   In the case of a  female  of thirty years,  who
died in the Salpetriere, and who had taken for a long while
the nitrate of silver  against epilepsy, and finally died of tu-
berculous phthisis.   What  is remarkable in her case is the
fact, that her skin had a lead-coloured appearance during her
life, and  that this discoloration  disappeared  after her death
in every  part of her body except  around  her mouth.  Partial
erosion of the mucous membrane of the fauces and the  oeso-
phagus ;  slight detachment of the membrane.   The stomach
is deprived of  its mucous membrane in that portion  of it
which is  turned  towards the oesophagus and in the region of
the curvature, the space being from four to five  inches ;  the
other membranes in  the above mentioned parts of the stom-
ach offered so slight  a resistance, that they were torn by the
mere weight of the contents of the stomach.  More or less
intense redness of the  mucous  membrane of the stomach;
here and  there grayish-white or blackish-dark crusts were dis-
covered in it.  The mucous membrane having been destroy-
ed, the muscular coat of the stomach became inflamed, and
exhibited a vivid redness, and here  and there a  crusty ap-
pearance. The stomach was perforated  where the poison act-
ed  intensely.   The mucous membrane of the intestines, es-
pecially of the stomach, was covered with a whitish coagulum,
or was red and congested, or parts of it were cauterized and
transformed into white-gray or brownish-black scurfs ;  those
parts were  sometimes seen perforated.   The liver was soft-
ened, large and flabby.  The kidneys exhibited a lead-colour.
The lungs and the veins of the body looked black-green, the
veins looked as if they had been  injected  with black-green
blood.  (A portion of the vena cava became"white by dipping

it into muriatic acid.)  The lungs were congested, infiltrated
with  serum, or parts of the  lungs  looked  ecchymozed and
were  of  a black-red colour;  the heart  looked dark-red and
livid ; the ventricles and the  trunks of the  large veins were
turgid with black blood.

   [CLINICAL  REMARKS. — Hahnemann.—" Arnica is a
Polychrest or remedy applicable to a great variety of diseases;
exhibits its specific efficacy in all cases of injury  from  falls,
blows,  and surgical operations ;  is an indispensable interme-
diate remedy in most inveterate chronic diseases, although
each dose acts only six days ; is useful in some forms of spu-
rious pleurisy ;  but is always hurtful in purely inflammatory,
acute diseases characterized  by external general heat, also in
diarrhoea."—Ed.

  Dr.Gray.—"It is important that practitioners should point
their  attention to the question, whether drugs which  are
isomorphous are not, on that account, allies hi the treatment
of  disease;  thus  arsenic, phosphorus, and antimony, being
eminent  instances of the isomorphous relation, and being
strikingly analogous in their pathogenesy, is it not very pro-
bable that these two  similitudes depend on the same element
in each, namely, an identical original force or power 1  We
find these drugs chemically uniting with other substances in
precisely the same atoflf'c'  proportions, and  producing crys-
tals in each case of the same form.
   The analogies between these drugs  as  to their pharmaco-
toxic results, already very  striking, would  doubtless have
been still more so, if either the simple form in each case had
been tried on the healthy, or what is the same thing, the same
combination, as for example, the sulphuret of each had been
in use for the pathogenesy.
   It is quite possible we may, by looking in this direction
diligently,  find  the  rich vein  of classification upon which
Boenninghausen has  empirically struck  so eagerly, and  yet
with  so little satisfaction to his colleagues."—Ed.

   Pathological Anatomy.—The bodies of those who have
been poisoned with Arsenic, generally exhibit two opposite
conditions:  either  they resist putrefaction for  a long time,
and finally look like mummies, or else they decay rapidly ;  at
first Arsenic seems indeed to promote putrefaction, but after
a while putrefaction is arrested by it; according to the expe-
rience of some observers,  bodies that have been poisoned
 suddenly  by large doses  of  Arsenic, decay rapidly ;  bodies
 that have been poisoned slowly by small doses, become dry
 like mummies.
    In some cases, bodies which decayed slowly had not be-
 come very livid even on  the third day after  death; there
 was an entire absence of cadaverous spots, no  trace  of pu-
 trefaction anywhere, no very offensive smell of corruption
 on opening the abdominal cavity, and a complete  absence  of,
 or only a moderate  rigidity ; in  some cases, however, the
 body soon became rigid, the muscles lost  their  irritability,
 the fingers and toes were violently contracted and bent back-
 wards, and the mouth was tightly closed.—As respects the
 mummy-like desiccation of bodies which were disinterred a
 long time after death, the following  appearances  have gene-
 rally been discovered :  offensive smell of the body, like old
 cheese; parchment-like dryness of the skin, like that of a
          6*

dark-brown colour of the face and abdomen; gray, leather-
like, indurated skin, having  a stiff and firm feel;  peculiar
toughness and hardness  of the cutis, offering the  same re-
sistance to the knife as the crust of an old cheese.—The adi-
pose tissue is transformed into a mass  resembling lard or
cheese.—Striking toughness and  dryness  of the  muscles
which have preserved their  shape,  and look only a  little
paler than the muscles of a recent subject.—Destruction of
the soft parts of  the nose.—Transformation of the  thoracic

look like tallow.
  The rapid  decay after death has been found accompanied
witfy the following phenomena: Intolerable smell of the body,
especially when opening the abdominal cavity ; the epider-
mis  had disappeared entirely in every part of the body.—
Dissolution of the whole body into a kind of ichor.—Papes-
cent softening of the muscles of the  thigh.—Green, yellow,

ARS. HYDROG.—Arseniuretted hydrogen  gas.—Noack and Thinks.
  To prepare the gas for medicinal purposes, mix equal parts of arsenic
  and tin or zinc with muriatic acid in a gas-retort; warm the mixture
  gently; by passing it through boiled water a series of attenuations
  may be made, and the gas may be administered by olfaction.
Antidotes.—The gas is strongly absorbed by the oil of turpentine, which
  is thickened by the gas and deposits white chrystals; the oil of tur-
  pentine might perhaps prove an antidote to the gas.

   [CLINICAL REMARKS.—Hahnemann.—" I have cured,
by means  of gold, several  cases of melancholy in persons
who earnestly thought of killing themselves.  They took in
all about the Tf^ or Tf „ part of a grain of gold.   I have
also cured several other important affections which will be
found enumerated among the symptoms of gold, and I doubt
not  that much higher triturations than those which I em-
ployed, would have been sufficient for obtaining the same
results.
   Shortly after closing these introductory  remarks, I had an
opportunity of convincing myself that TJi^ part of a grain
of "old wiil manifest a most powerful curative action, espe-
cially in cancer of the palate and nasal bones  consequent
upon the abuse of the acidulated preparations of mercury. 
144
AURUM.
The gold symptoms analogous  to  these  artificial  affections
will be found among the subsequent symptoms.*
  Farther  trituration  and dilution develops and dynamises
the power of gold still more, so that I now use, very often,
only the smallest part  of a grain of the decillionth potency.
  In the following affections, gold has been found especially
useful:—
  Hypochondriasis; melancholy ;  loathing of  life; dispo-
sition to suicide; rush of blood to  the head;  cancer of the
palate bones and nasal bones; obscuration of sight  by black
spots hovering before the eyes; toothache from rush of blood
to the head, with heat in the  head; inguinal hernia; indura-
tion  of the testes of long standing;  prolapsus and induration
of the uterus ; rush of blood to the chest;  falling down  un-
consciously, with the face becoming blue; attack of suffoca-
tion, with severe constrictive dyspnoea ; injuries inflicted by
the abuse of quicksilver; pains in the bones, at night;  no-
dosities of the gout."  Ed.]

Antidotes.—Large doses of  Bell, are counteracted by black coffee.  Al-
  most all authors have recommended vinegar as an antidote against Bell.
  This is a mere  conjecture which  one author has copied from another.
  Abundant experience has taught me, on the  contrary, that vinegar in-
  creases the pain produced by Belt*  Fits of paralysis and  colic, pro-
  duced by Bell., may be assuaged by Op., although it acts only as a palli-
  ative.  A small dose of Op., probably, also relieves  the somnolence
  consequent upon the use of Bell.  Stupor, insanity, and frenzy, produced
  by Bell, are homceopathically relieved in the speediest and most certain
  manner by a few small doses of Hyos.   The intoxication of  Bell, is re-
  lieved by wine;  myself, as well as Trajus and Moibanus have witnessed
  this effect of wine. A small dose of Bell, having been administered non-
  homoeopathically, and being succeeded  by a weeping mood, attended
  with chills  and  headache, these effects may be stayed by  a similarly
  small dose of Puis.  Adequate help is the most necessary when a large

  quantity of the berries of BelL have been swallowed.  In this case, re-
  lief may be obtained by large portions of strong coffee, which restores
  the iiritabiUty of the muscular fibre, puts a stop to the tetanic convul-
  sions—although acting as a mere palliative—and secures the vomiting
  of the berries; this may, moreover, be facilitated by tickling the pharynx
  with a long feather. The erysipelatous swellings of BelL are speedily
  removed by small doses of Hep.  Camphor, too, is a good antidote
  against some of the symptoms of Bell.—Hahnemann.
  CLINICAL  OBSERVATIONS. —According  to Hahne-
mann,  Belladonna may be used as a prophylactic against the
genuine, erysipelatous,  smooth  and glossy scarlet fever, as
described by Sydenham, Plencitz, and others.  To this effect
the smallest dose  of  Bell,  ought  to  be given every six or
seven days.  He says :  " This great  discovery of mine has
been scorned  and sneered at by a number of physicians,  for
at least nineteen years.  They were ignorant of the character
of this disease, which is proper  to childhood, and  they were
indiscreet enough  to mistake for  scarlet fever the purple-rash,
which  had migrated into Germany from Belgium, as  early
as the  year 1801.  They falsely applied to this purple-rash
the term " scarlet fever," and failed, of course, in  trying to
cure it by means of the remedy which I had proposed.   I
rejoice that, in subsequent years, other physicians  should
have again observed the genuine scarlet fever,  that they
should have confirmed the  prophylactic  virtues  of  Bell.
against this disease, and should have done me justice, after
the unjust  derision which I had so long suffered.
   " Purple-rash (Roodvonk) being  a  disease different from
scarlet fever, it requires  to be treated in a different way.
In purple-rash, Bell, can do no good ;  and patients who  are
treated with Bell,  in this disease, will generally have to die ;
whereas all of them might have  been saved by the alternate
use of Aeon, and the tincture of Coff, the former being given
against the heat, the increasing uneasiness, and the  agonizing
anguish; the latter against the excessive pain and weeping
mood.  Aeon, and Coff. should be alternately given  every
twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four hours, in proportion as one or
the other medicine is indicated.  Of the Aeon. I give a small
portion of a drop  of the decillionth solution ; of  the Coff.  I
exhibit the millionth degree of potency in  the same form
and quantity.  Recently, both diseases, which are so different
from each  other,   the  Sydenhamian scarlet  fever,  and  the
purple-rash, seem to have become  complicated in  some epi-
demic diseases, so that one patient derives more  benefit
from Aeon., another from Bell."

tidotes mentioned by Hahnemann, Mercur. sol., in chronic

  [CLINICAL REMARKS.—Hahnemann.—" Borax has, for
a long time, already, been used as a domestic remedy, against
the aphthae of children, and for the purpose of facilitating the
labour-pains of parturient wombs.
   Antidotes :  Coffea Cruda against the  sleeplessness and the
head-complaints  of  borax;  Chamomilla against  the  painful
swelling of the cheeks.  Wine aggravates the symptoms, es-
pecially those of the chest, and vinegar  reproduces the symp-
toms which had already been relieved, especially the stitches
in  the  chest."
   Noack and Trinks.—" Borax is especially adapted to sen-
sitive, lax temperaments and nervous constitutions, especially to
females and children, pregnant and nursing women, and such
individuals  as suffer from haemorrhoids.  Borax is especially
suitable for diseases of the mucous membranes of the respira-
tory  and digestive  organs, and the  diseases of the female
parts"—Ed.]

nine, brucine, and  veratrine, which has, however, become very  doubtful
in consequence of the very exact experiments instituted by Hering.
  Administration.—According to Hering, where pure Brom. is preferable
to higher attenuations, a drop should be taken  from  a vial of tincture,
with a glass stopple,  by means of a fine glass tube, and quickly dropped
into a tumblerful of fresh water.  By pouring out part and adding fresh
water, any degree of attenuation may be attained.  One  part of Br. to
1000 parts of water, is sufficiently powerful.
  [CLINICAL  OBSERVATIONS. — Dr. Hering.—" The
principal curative sphere of Brom. is not scrofula, but affec-
tions of the chest, heart  and eyes.  In the most violent in-
flammations  as  well  as in chronic affections of these  organs,
for  instance :  consumption^ Brom. will prove extremely use-
ful, provided  all the symptoms correspond.  I have cured a
number of cases of tuberculosis pulmonalis with Spong. 30,
sometimes exhibiting it in  alternation with Hep. sulph., 30 ;
in some  cases, however, Iod., and in  others Brom.,  may be
more advantageous.  In croup, likewise, Brom.  may some-
times  be superior  to Spong.   Most kinds  of croup, being
originally a species of urticaria,  Ars. will, in most cases, be
found preferable to Brom.   In  the  so-called complicated in-
flammation of the lungs, and in incipient hepatization, it is
as important a remedy as Phosph.   It is worthy of  remark,
that Phosph.  has a  more  specific  action on the left lung;
Brom., on the  contrary, on  the right,  to judge from the
symptoms."—Ed.]

   Calcarea acts a long while.  Calcarea generally acts well
after nitric acid, when the action of  this drug, although ap-
parently homoeopathically  indicated, had been rather unfa-
vourable ; on the other hand, nitric acid relieves the unpleas-
ant symptoms of the homoeopathically chosen calcarea, and
imparts to its action a beneficent character.   Nausea  conse-
quent upon  the use of calcarea, is specifically counteracted
by smelling of the spirits of nitre, which act even better in
this case  than camphor.  Other disagreable symptoms of 
CALCAREA CARBONICA.

calcarea are relieved by smelling of nux  vomica.  Calcarea
is frequently useful after sulphur, especially when the pupils
are prone to become dilated.
   Calcarea generally is indispensable and curative when the
catamenia appear a few days before the  period, especially
when the flow of blood is considerable.   But if the catame-
nia appear at the regular period or a little later, calcarea al-
most never is useful, even if the catamenia should be rather
profuse.
   In affections of persons  advanced in  age, calcarea,  even
after other intermediate remedies, can scarcely be repeated
with advantage ; a dose which is given after another without
any previous intermediate remedy, is almost always prejudi-
cial ; in eases of children, however, several doses may be giv-
en in succession, provided the remedy continues to be indi-
cated ;  the younger the children, the more frequently may
the remedy be  repeated."
   Noack and Trinks.—"According to Koch,Calcarea acts es-
pecially upon the mucous membranes, on the fibrous and osseous
system, on the nervous system, on the serous tissues, on the ven-
ous and also the lymphatic system of the abdomen, and  upon
the skin. Calcarea is especially suitable to the venoso-hamorr-
hoidal,  plethoric, or the lymphatic, slow and heavy, or to the scro-
phulous, rickety constitution, especially when there is a predomi-
nant disposition to fluent coryza, cold and diarrhoea;  or it is par-
ticularly adapted to frail individuals, being poorly fed, or also
to such  as had, in their young years, a marked disposition for
growing fat and stout.   In general, Calcarea is especially use-
ful to the young organism ;  it corresponds more than any other
remedy, to diseases of the reproductive system, which are the
basis of all the diseases inherent in the first  age  of man ; it
may therefore be used, with especial benefit, in all scrophulous
diseases, or in the diseases of new-born children, such  as oph-
thalmia, muscular  and nervous weakness, acidity  of the sto-
mach.   Calcarea is likewise  suitable for the diseases of fe-
males, especially when the menses are  too abundant and fre-
quent ;  according to Hahnemann, Calcarea is  indispensable,
when the menses appear  too soon and  are  too profuse, whereas
 Calcarea is almost always prejudicial when the menses appear
at or after the proper time ; according to Lobethal, Calcarea
is, in the former case, a beneficial remedy, which speedily and
thoroughly cures  affections resulting from menstrual irregu-
larities, such as muscular  weakness, excessive irritability  of
the nervous system, leucorrhcea.   Calcarea is suitable for fan-
cied diseases, for Hysteria, Hypochondria, Melancholia, un-
easiness, anguish,  despondency, whining  mood, peevishness,

resulting from Onanism, muscular weakness, difficulty of chil-

CAMPH.—Hahnemann's Materia  Medica  Pura, L—Duration of Ac-
  tion. ?
Compare with—Canth., Cham., Cocc, Hyos., Kal., Lauroc., Op., Puis.,
  Rhus., Stram., Verat.
Antidotes.—Spir.  nitr, dulc__Coffee and alcohol increase the effects  of
  Camph.—Camph. is said  to increase the action of Nitr.—According to
  Hahnemann's  experience, Camph. is no antidote  against the violent
  effects of Ign.—Op. is an  antidote to Camph.; on the other hand,
  Camph. is a great preserver of life in cases of poisoning by Op.—
  Camph. is antidotal to  a number  of vegetable drugs, especially such
  as have a drastic effect and cause vomiting and diarrhoea, paleness
  of countenance, coldness of the extremities, and loss of consciousness.
  Camph., as an antidote, should be administered in large and  frequently
  repeated doses.

   [CLINICAL   REMARKS.—According  to   Hahnemann,
Camph., when applied to the skin, producing a kind of ery-
sipelatous inflammation,  it may be applied externally to si-
milarly inflamed parts, provided  the erysipelas,  irradiating
over the skin and disappearing momentarily on pressure,  is
a mere external symptom of a sudden internal disease, the
other symptoms of which  correspond to those of Camph.
   In the Siberian influenza, when  it  appears amongst us at
the time when the hot weather has already  set in,  Camph.
may be used  as  a palliative ;  it is an excellent palliative on
account of the disease having a short duration,  and ought to
be given  in frequent and  progressively-increased  doses  in
water, as taught above.  In. this way, Camph. does not shorten
the course of the disease, but deprives  it of its  danger, and
diminishes  its  intensity until  it  reaches its  termination.
(One dose of Nux v.,  one pellet  of the  thirtieth  potence,
when  homoeopathically  indicated, frequently cures the dis-
ease in a couple  of hours.)   Vertigo, loss  of consciousness,
and coldness of the body, appear to be primary  symptoms of
a  dose of Camph., and point  to a diminished afflux of blood
to those parts wdiich are  distant from the heart;  whereas the
rush of blood to the head, heat in the head, &c, are symp-
toms denoting a reaction of the vital powers, just as forcibly
as the former symptoms  denoted their diminished action.
Slight and  recent inflammations,  which have come on very
suddenly,  may therefore be removed by the palliating, cool-
ing effects  of Camph., old inflammations never.  The con-
tinued, or  even the frequently-repeated use of Camph., fre-
quently  brings  on an obstinate ophthalmia, corresponding to 
258
camphora.
 the  permanency inherent in the reaction  of the  organism.
 I  (Hahnemann) am not prepared to deny the  homoeopathi-
 city of external applications of Camph. to inflamed eyes in
 acute cases; but I cannot advocate  it, for the  reason  that I
 never  use  external applications in  the treatment of oph-
 thalmia.]
   [Dr.  Gray.—The sufferings  which eminently  indicate
 Camphor, are those usually called asphyxia, " sinking of the
 forces ;" paroxysms of embarrassment of the respiration and
 circulation, with coldness of the surface and extremities, for
 the  most part attended by tremors or even severe  cramps in
 the  muscular system, and cold sweats, especially  about the
 head and neck,  If this  or a similar state be connected with
 catarrhal discharges, or with  diarrhoea, the indication for
 Camph.  is strengthened.
   It seems to me  that the manifold antidotal virtues  of
 this  drug are owing  to its wonderful control over  the pneu-
 mogastric nerve as its primary affinity with the  living organ-
 ism.  I  have found it often efficacious in  interrupting the
 development  of paroxysms  of epilepsy,  for which  end
 I have given it in one or two drop doses every three to five
 minutes, during the premonitory symptoms of  a fit, contin-
 uing the exhibition of it till these were fully subdued.  Cam-
 phor, as is  well known, is very efficacious when  administered
 by olfaction, but does not sustain dynamization.]

organism against the drug.

       This vegetable drug has been very popular in many parts
    of our country as a specific for dropsy.  In  the  essays  of
    Drs.  Parrish, Knapp and  Griscom  (allopathic),  cases are
    cited  confirmatory of its popular reputation.
       Dr. H. D. Paine, of Albany, in  a note to the Editor,
    says :  " It is not less popular (in some sections of Western
    New-York) in the cure of diarrhoeas  and intestinal  hemor-
    rhages than it is for dropsies in  your neighbourhood.   In  a
    recent case of hemorrhage of the  bowels, which came under
    my care, the  Apocynum had been administered with decided
    benefit;  but its allopathic repetition in increased doses was
    followed by an aggravation to an alarming extent of the very
    predicament  it first relieved, which it might have otherwise
    perfectly cured."
       My former colleague, Dr. Gray, and myself, published in
    1835  the following  curative results in our practice :
       1. In two cases of ascites, which succeeded the use of im-
    moderate doses  of Quinine;
       2. In a case of anasarca succeeding scarlet-fever ;
       3. And in  one of extensive  oedema, especially manifest on
    the abdomen, attended with griping  pains  in the  same, in  a
    consumptive patient.                f ~ t  <■            j  t

   \ Note by Hahnemann.—The weakness alluded  to in this paragraph,
as if caused  by a great loss of  animal fluids, the symptoms indicating  a
disturbance in the digestive organs, the ailments after a meal,  the easily
excited sweat, especially on the back,  during motion and sleep, and the
affections of the head, constitute  precisely that kind  of weakness for
which Cinch, is a specific, and which affects, without almost any excep-
tion,  persons who have lost a portion of their  strength  by hemorrhages
and frequent venesection, galactorrhcea, excessive lactation, coition, onan-
ism, involuntary emission of semen, profuse natural  or artificial sAveat in
disease, natural or artificial diarrhoea.  When Cinch, is given for any other
kind  of weakness, which is not the disease itself, its exhibition may be
followed by the most pernicious consequences, and may even  endanger

against taenia, worm fever and sterility.—Dr. Bicking uses a
saturated decoction  of which  he gives his patients half an
ounce  every  day,  directly after dinner.   This  treatment
causes the  expulsion of the worm.   After  some time the
Avorm re-appears but much  reduced, Avhen the same process
is  resorted  to, and continued  until  every  vestige of the
worm  has effectually and permanently disappeared.  Dr. B.
assures us that this treatment has proved successful in every
case.—Dr. Lobethal employs the tincture of Filix mas, a few
drops a day, and in obstinate cases the  tincture of Granatum.

  Schwarz's femoral protrusion is too isolated a phenomenon
to allow us to consider it  as  an indication of the  curative
virtues of the Gent,  in  femoral hernia.
  If the remedy be truly homoeopathic to the disease, a few
drops of the  tincture may be the appropriate dose  in some
cases, in others a few pellets of the first, third, ninth, twelfth,
(and probably of a much higher potency) may be found suf-
ficient.

MERC.—Duration of Action: In regard to this subject Noack and Trinks
   offer the following remarks :—The effects of this metal, when given in
   large and frequently-repeated doses, develope themselves more or less
   slowly, sometimes re-appear after long intervals, and frequently last
   days, weeks, months, years, and even through life.  The intensity of its
   action upon the  animal organism may be inferred  from the fact, that
   this agent, no  matter in what form it is administered, is discovered in
   the solids and fluids of the organism in the original form of mercury,
   provided its use is continued long and frequently.   It has been found
   in the blood (Shubarth,) in the  urine, (Cantu,) in the bile, (of  those
   animals  to which quicksilver was  given, Autenrieth) in the sweat,
   (Brinkmann, Cruikshank,) <fec, <fec, <fec.   Small doses of this  drug and
   its oxydes, f except the sublimate,; act slowly; it is therefore necessary,
   even according to Hahnemann's own opinion, that the  doses should be
   frequently repeated in urgent cases,  such as syphilis, combined with
   scrophulosis and tuberculosis.

flamed, and the wings of the nostrils excoriated from the pro-
fuse discharge of corrosive mucus, particularly in children.
Nasal bones sore to the touch, and black spots on the skin.
  Mouth.—Sordes  about  the  teeth  and  lips.   Dry lips,
tongue dry, and deeply chapped in the centre, deeply coated,
whitish, ash-coloured, velvety, deep yelloAV or brown.  Ulcers
are scattered along the  margin ofthe tongue, with red edges
and an ashy gray centre,  the edge  of the  tongue shows the
prints of  the  teeth where it rests against them.   The gums
easily bleed and  look spongy,  or have small  ulcers of the
same character as those on  the tongue.  The buccal and sub-
maxillary glands are enlarged, inflamed, painful, throbbing,
or hard, painless  and hypertrophied ; parotids and tonsils are
in a similar condition, and there is an abundant flow of tough
saliAra, Avith cough and expectoration of yellow mucus, or
transparent frothy mucus, with an  occasional heavy flake in
the centre.   The  teeth are sore and feel as if elongated, with
sharp shooting pains proceeding from them up the side ofthe
face to the temples and head.
  Throat.—The uvula, tonsils and isthmus-faucium are in-
flamed.   The mucous membrane ofthe posterior nares, pha-
rynx, &c, is changed from its normal pale red hue to a deep
scarlet, or even purple,  as the inflammation advances in  seve-
rity.   As it passes to  a chronic  form the inflammation ap-
pears more in patches, of an irregular circumscribed form,
growing paler towards their circumference until it is blended
in the colour of the  surrounding membrane  into which it
merges.   From the surface  of these patches a quantity of
tough,  white, or  yellowish mucus is discharged,  which
keeps the patient constantly coughing, or haAvking, to  clear
the  air passages.   In some cases, vrhere  the passage of the

disease is rapid, and the inflammation is intense,  the mem-
brane is smooth, shining, tense, glossy, and dry ;  the capil-
lary vessels, Avhich in the healthy condition of the parts are
not seen, now become distinctly visible from their enlarge-
ment.   In some instances the mucous follicles are so much
impaired in  their function as  to cease to throw  out  any
healthy mucus,  and the entire entrance to the air-passages,
and oesophagus, and palatine arch, is deep red, and dry, ex-
cept spherical drops of water which  stand on the surface like
sweat, presenting the appearance of an erythematous inflam-
mation, with exudation Arery analogous to that Avhich appears
on the skin.   The epiglottis, particularly at its root, is more
abundantly supplied with mucous follicles, and hence is most
affected by this condition.   The inflammation  extends from
the lingual surface of the epiglottis to the  laryngeal surface,
and by continuity to the entire surface of the larynx, trachea,
and bronchial ramifications.   The voice is changed, or entire
aphonia may take place  as the  inflammation extends to the
larynx and involves the chordae  vocales  in ulceration.   At
this stage, in addition to the character of the  expectoration,
we have the following signs of this extension of disease ;  ex-
ternal pressure upon the larynx produces pain and sometimes
cough, which latter is of a peculiar cracking character, Avith a
rattling in the throat.   In the second stage of some forms of
this disease  of the throat, particularly Avhen  the first stage
has passed off slowly,  the  surface  is  raw, the  epithelium,
which  in the healthy condition  of the mucous membrane
covers  its surface,  being  entirely  destroyed, the mucous
glandulae will gradually swell  and project, snowing small pea-
like granulations studding the entire surface,  in a state of
hypertrophy, the transparent and bland mucous  secretion of
the healthy state by this transformation  to diseased action
becomes  opaque,  vicid and tough, causing a constant  dis-
position to cough or hawk, which brings off a large quantity
of this diseased mucus.
  A feeling of soreness attends  upon pressing the larynx,
upper end of the sternum and under  the clavicles, with weari-
ness and oppression, and a rattling "rale muqueux" which
the patient notices, in the larynx and trachea, and  ausculta-
tion  discovers this rattling to extend more  or less throughout
the chest.  The respiration is hurried, and the  pulse  over
100, small and Aviry, slight  chills and fever, followed by per-
spiration twice in tAventy-four hours.  Percussion exhibits a
dull  sound throughout the clavicular region and upper lobes
ofthe lungs,  and tuberculatum, more or less extensively de-

of the lungs.   Emaciation, hectic fever,  night  and morning
cough, with mucous or muco-purulent expectoration, leaves
but little hope, even from this agent, after  all other means
have proved abortive.  I have been more minute in the de-
tails of this portion of the  diseases of the mucous and glan-
dular tissues,  because this is by far the the most important
sphere of the action of the protiodide of Merc.
  The Protiodide will also be found effectual in removing
tenderness, fulness, hardness, and aching ofthe hypochondria
and epigastrium,  bloating and tympanitic or hard and doughy
feel of the abdomen, particularly of infants, (tabes mesente-
rica,) with cloudy u rine.   Diarrhoea of a dysenteric character,
green alvine  discharges and  sanguineo-mucous  discharges,
with tenesmus, particularly in scrofulous  children, or when
these symptoms  follow a severe catarrh.

 and the  restlessness of the patient abate.   On the day fol-
 lowing,  the  rash appears  on the back and loins, preceded
 by  the  same precursory symptoms.  In this way the rash
 breaks out in patches, until  the  eruption is complete, after
 the lapse of four or five days.  The vesicles are close to-

 but  returns  immediately after the pressure ceases.—Ecze-
 ma mercuriale criticum : the first stage is  characterized by
 the  presence of mercurial fever, which is  generally slight
 although  the catarrhal symptoms are sometimes  violent.
 Towards the end of this stage,  which lasts  from three  to
 four days an itching tingling  in the skin  is  felt in diffe-
 rent parts of the body.  At the beginning of the second
 stage, the parts become rough and scarlet red, and covered
 with vesicles, at  first filled Avith a  transparent fluid but
 which  soon  becomes milky and turbid.   The  epidermis
 peels off in large patches.  The  pain  is severe on changing
 position  and is  felt the more at night.—Erysipelas: erysi-

in size on the  day folloAving,  becomes  pustulous on  the
fourth, and is fully developed on the fifth.   These  elevations
vary in  size  from that of  a millet-seed to the size of a pea.
They are surrounded Avith a very narroAv areola, their co-
lour remains of a dark  rosy red ;  on the fifth  day their
tips  are  filled with fine yellow  pus; they are never seen
in groups, but are  scattered, as it Avere, over the extremi-
ties.   On the sixth  day, their tips commence to fall in, they
become paler and the areola narrower.   In three days  the
pustule changes  te  a light-brown scurf, which  is absorbed
in two days  and then  scales off.—Impetigo  mercurialis :
dark-red  spots  of  various sizes  are first perceived in the
region of the genital organs and then on the chest.   At first,
the  vesicles  are  seen  only  on  the  sternum,  after which

ciful dreams.  The  urine is fiery-red, the pulse irritated, full
and quick.  The dryness in the mouth increases to a burning
sensation, the gums become  dark-red, and recede somewhat
from the teeth, the tongue commences  to SAvell,  the tensive

                     FROM NOACK AND  TRINCKS.

  During the hospital typhus of 1813, Halmemann recommended that
agent for the following symptoms : indolence of the internal sensus com-
munis, a sort of semi-paralysis of the mind; the patient lies quiet without
sleeping or talking ; he scarcely answers any question, even when urged;
he appears to hear without understanding,  the few words lie utters are
uttered with a low tone of voice, and are  rational; he does not  seem to
feel anything, and is motionless without  being paralyzed.—Hahnemann
suggests that the spirits of nitre should be old enough not to redden the
cork.   He  mixed one drop of the spirits with one ounce of water, and
gave this  solution witliin twenty-four hours, in tea-spoonful  doses.  'See
Hahnemann's lesser writings.)
  The spirit of nitre lias  cured the following symptoms, resulting from an
abuse of common  table salt.
  Pale face with sunken eyes; languor; emaciation; extreme ill-humour,
discouragement, disposition to quarrel and to be vehement;  want of dis-
position to talk or Avork; heat in the mouth; heartburn; sour taste; loss
of appetite; constant nausea and accumulation of water in the mouth ;
contractive sensation in the throat, and as if a plug  were  in the throat;
sour and slimy vomiting, generally  two hours after  eating,  followed by
headache ;  repletion and pressure in the stomach, after eating, with con-
tractive sensation; chilhness over the whole body, after vomiting; a good
deal of chilliness in  the back; lacerating  in the back from  above down-
wards ; aggravation in the afternoon: irregular and scanty menses; hands
covered witli warts.

  In the following article, the long dash is employed to separate symp-
toms  observed at different times or by different provers. None but con-
comitant symptoms are connected by the words " and" or " with" or placed
in the same group between consecutive dashes, unless some intimation of
their disconnection is given by the expressions employed. The distinctions
of type refer to the number and provers by whom the symptoms have been
verified.   No symptom  is italicised, unless experienced by two or three
provers.   The small capitals denote twice as many concurrent provers,
and the larger capitals threevtimes as many  as were required for italics.
Tlie distinctions  of type and the grouping -of concomitants increase the
value of the svmptoms,  though at some sacrifice of superficial regnlaritv.

  Dr. Neidhard.—The disease  in  which I have most  fre-
quently made use of Rhus, in Rheumatism characterized by
the following symptoms : it is a form of rheumatism Avhich is
most common in our climate : rigidity, paralytic weakness in
the joints, Avith stinging pain along the tendons and muscles.
Swelling and redness on or near the joints.  Rheumatism of
the hip-joint and  Avrist seems to be  most effectually con-

 trolled by its  action.  The greatest rigidity and  pain is
 EXPERIENCED ON FIRST MOVING THE JOINTS AFTER REST, AND ON
 waking up in the morning.  After the joints are moved for
 a while, the  pain is lessened.   This symptom is  mentioned
 by Jahr.   Its paramount importance has been evidenced to
 me by numerous cures.  Jahr lays, however, more stress on
 the symptoms aggravated, by rest. More than sixty cases might
 be detailed  in this place, where rheumatic affections, charac-
 terized by the above symptoms, were removed in the shortest
 time by Rhus tox., 3 to 30.  In several of  these cases other
 homoeopathic remedies had been prescribed  in vain.
   GENERAL  SYMPTOMS.—"Affections ofthe ligaments,
 tendons and  synovial membranes.  "Deficient plasticity ofthe    -^

   Clinical Note by Dr. Gray.—1.  I have given the tartar
 emetic with  success  in a  case  of apoplexy,  accompanied
 by fruitless efforts to vomit.   The patient, a woman of sixty
 years, after lying quite unconscious for nearly 24 hours, had
 partially recovered her senses for 48  hours before I  saw her,
 but had taken neither food  nor drinks.  Her efforts to vomit 
TARTARUS STIBIATUS.                 941
were repeated about every half hour.  Between these turns
she  appeared to be  in  an uneasy  coma.   The remedy was
given in a Avatery solution l-60th of a grain;  and  this one
dose was completely successful; no more efforts at vomiting
occurred,  the  coma disappeared  rapidly, and a hemiplegia
which remained after the full restoration of her consciousness,
faded away in a very few days. No other remedy Avas exhibited.
   2.  I haA'e for many years been in the habit of  treating the
coma which occurs  in  the hight of febrile  paroxysms, espe-
cially the violent ephemeral attacks to which young children
are liable, by the  tartar emetic in  doses of the l-100th of a
grain, repeated every hour till the heat and coma abate.  The
presence of vomiting strengthens the indication for the drug
so much, as to make it advisable to give a  smaller quantity,
and  at intervals of from a half to  a full  hour longer.  The
very hot paroxysms of fever, occurring in the course of denti-
tion, and especially such as are excited by errors of diet, and
tend to the  development of severe convulsions,  have been
much more  satisfactorily treated  by  this  drug than by the
aconite, belladonna, or chamomilla,  which I have often applied
singly and seriatim, as is the general practice in  our school.
The first sign of abatement in the fever, or coma, is, with me,
the signal for stopping the remedy.
   3.  In  the  first stage   of influenza (generally  of itself  a
fugitive state), I think it by very much the most strictly in-
dicated, and on that account, as well as from my own obser-
vations in many hundreds of  cases,  by very far the most
efficacious means we can apply.   The state against which I
give it is: lassitude  with great  sensitiveness to cold, with
chilly feelings, headache, pasty  tongue, inflammation  of the
throat (tonsils, arches of the palate or pharynx), short turns
of nausea, achings in the bones, especially of the lower ex-
tremities, yelloAvness of the skin, slight hoarseness, more or
less  fever-heat and sweats.
   The antimony often acts as a perfect remedy  in the stage
of incubation, especially in those cases which would of them-
selves close this  stage by profuse watery diarrhoea with some
vomiting and cramps.*

  * This stage, of which the angina faucium, the chills, and the bone pains,
are the prominent sufferings,  subsides  of itself in 24  to 48 hours, and the
physician  is very apt to be deceived as to the efficacy of his treatment.
The allopathist praises his atrocious lancet and heroic purgatives, and the
homcwipathist his mercuries,  or belladonna or nux, and the patient in either
case thinks a wonder has been done for him; but  the disease, if it be a
real influenza, is not removed; it has only advanced a step beyond the
process of incubation, towards the stadium of bronchitis, with its concomi-
tant cough, dyspnoea, fever-sweats and prostratioa 
942
TARTARUS  STIBIATUS.
  The second or bronchial stage of the true influenza having
been  successfully  managed by phosphorus  or bryonia, Avith
the aid of aconite or hyoscyamus, I complete the cure by a
return to the antimony; that is to  say, Avhen the air-passages
are loaded Avith mucus, the cough  being frequent and the ex-
pectoration copious.
  4. I have preferred this preparation to the crude antimony
in the treatment of acute inflammatory rheumatisms in cases
embarrassed  by gastric symptoms, which according to our
authorities call for  that preparation.    My reason for this
choice is, that the tartar emetic has produced the desired result
more promptly in my hands than the crude antimony.
  5. In the treatment of gastric and bilious fevers, I have,
for the same  reason, done the same thing ; and that for many
years past  and Avith equally satisfactory results.
  6. Respecting the  malarious  fevers, I suggest,  Avith un-
feigned diffidence,  the application of the tartarized antimony
in doses of the l-60th of a grain, repeated  every two  to
four hours throughout  the Avhole period or stage of incuba-
tion, and further still, (unless very strong indications for other
drugs are  developed,) even till the fever assumes a  distinctly
intermittent character, admitting of its then denoted specific,
as for example, china, arsenic, or ipecacuanha.
  If, however, the dose above indicated produce any sensible
effects,  especially if  it provoke  nausea, or clearly aggravate
it when previously present,  I would immediately stop its use
for 12 hours, giving  in the interval a dose or two  of pulsatilla,
and then  resume  it, in a  smaller quantity, say the first or
second  trituration.   The success of our school in the treat-
ment of severe forms of malarious fevers, has not been such
as in my  judgment to render this suggestion respecting the
antimony Avholly superfluous.   It  is my conviction that this
drug covers  more of the symptoms of the bilious fevers of
our climate, in the first 7 to 14  days of their  existence, than
any other  as yet  knoAvn ;  and  I  am accordingly persuaded
that the riper experience of later times will give it  in our
school the rank which George Fordyce in vain sought to give
it a hundred years ago, in the ordinary practice.—(See his
Essay on  Fevers,)   Dr. Fordyce  says, that given beloAv the
nauseating point,  throughout the continued fevers (of Eng-
land), it produced better results, especially when solely relied
on, than any  other treatment then known.
  7. In croup, the tartar emetic, in watery solution, applied
in all states  prior to the deposition of plastic lymph  (diph-
therite), is in  my opinion a safer practice than the aeon, spong.

 and hepar. hitherto so much, and as I think unjustly, lauded
 in our books.
   8. The  tartar emetic  is certainly a simillimum to variola
 and varioloid.   In the incubation of these disease^ i give it
 in doses of the 5J-0 of a grain ; later, in the 2d and 3d tritura-
 tion.  Since treating them in this Avay (hoav 15 years), I have
 not had an instance of retrocession of the eruption.*  Should
 I be called to such a case, I should rely on the same remedy,
 but in a high attenuation.
   9  I desire again to call the attention of the heroic men of
 our school, A\ho are really  engaged in testing the  physiologi-
 cal poAvers of the drugs on  their own persons, to the  facts,
 that antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus produce very analogous
 results in the  healthy, and that  these great drugs have  iso-
 morphous relations villi each olhnr.
   It is certainly Avorthy of sturdy  inquiry, Avhether isomor-
 phous drugs can be used as substitutes for each other  in  any
 or all cases; for, if the curative poAver be that unknown force
 Avhich determines their  atomic relations and their crystalline
 form,  then not only will  a test be presented Avhereby  the
 errors and falsities of  pathogenetic* (a canker  Avorm  in
 homoeopathy) may be corrected promptly and soundly;  but
 by  the simple consideration of these  knoAvn  elements,  the
 atomic relations and  crystalline dimensions, Ave may be  en-
 abled  to  determine the  therapeutic value of very many, as
 yet untried agents of the future art of healing.

                   Just issued,  a New Edition of

Jahr's  New  Manual  of Homceopathic Practice;  edited,
  with Annotations, by A. Gerald Hull, M D.  From the last Paris Edition.
  This is the fourth American edition of a very celebrated work, written in
  French by the eminent Homoeopathic Professor Jahr, and it is considered
  the best practical compendium'of this  extraordinary science that has yet
  been composed   After a very judicious and instructive  introduction,  the
  work presents a Table of  the Homoeopathic Medicines,  with their names
  in Latin, English, and German; the order in which they are to be studied,
  with their most important distinctions, and clinical illustrations of their
  symptoms and effects upon the various organs  and functions of the human
  system.   The second volume embraces  an  elaborative Analysis of  the in-
  dications in disease, ofthe medicines adapted to cure, and a Glo.-sary of
  the technics used in  the work, arranged so luminously as to form an  ad-
  mirable guide to every  medical student. The whole system is  here dis-
  played widi a modesty of pretension, and a scrupulosity in statement, well cal-
  culated to bespeak candid investigation. This laborious work is indispensa-
  ble to the students and practitioners of Homoeopathy, and highly interest-
  ing to medical and scientific men of all  classes.  2 vols., bound,  1851.  $6.

Jahr'S  New Manual, originally published under the name
  of Symptomen-Codex.  (Digest of Symptoms.)  This work is intended
  to facilitate a comparision ofthe parallel Symptoms ofthe various Homoeo-
  pathic agents, thereby enabling the  practitioner to discover the character-
  istic  symptoms of each drug,  and to determine with ease and correctness
  what remedy is most Homoeopathic to the existing group  of  symptoms.

  Opinions of the Press.—Br- Rokytansky's book  is no more than it pro-
 fesses to be :  it is morbid Anatomy in  its densest and most compact form,
 scarcely ever alleviated by histories, cases or hypotheses.  It is just such a
 work as might  be expected from its author, who is said to have written in it
 the result of his experience gained in the careful  examination of over 12,000
 bodies, and who is possessed  of a truly marvellous power of observing and
 amassing facts.  In  the course of our analysis we  have  said comparatively
 little oi its merits, the best evidence of which is found in the length to which
 eur abstracts have been  canned without  passing beyond the bounds of what is
 novel and important.  Nor would this fault have  been committed though
much more had been borrowed, for no  modern volume on morbid Anatomy
contains half so many genuine facts as this ; it is alone  sufficient to place its
author in the highest rank of European medical observers"—British and

   physician in ordinary ofthe late King of Prussia, Professor in the Univer-
   sity of Berlin.  From the sixth German edition ; translated by C. Bruch-

   Opinions.—The following lines from Dr. Manly, formerly President of the
 Medical Society of the State of New-York, contain his opinion in a few
 words ofthe merits ofthe book:
   I am happy  to have the opportunity of recommending to the medical  pro-
 fession the  Manual of the Practice of Medicine, by Hufeland.  It  is not
 often that books of this character, on perusal, make good the claims  which
 their titles assume, but this is a well-marked exception ; its description of dis-
 eases, though concise, are  comprehensive ; its reasonings just and philosoplii-
 cal, and its practice, as a consequence, intelligible  and rational.  The charac-
 ter of the author and his experience of more than half a  century, together with
 the unexampled popularity of the work  in its original language, render, in my
 opinion, all individual recommendation superfluous.  I hope that it may soon
 be found in the hands of every medical  man, whether pupil or practitioner.
                                        James R. Manly, M. D,
  New-York, September 7,1842.

  Certificate of John F.  Gray, M. D., formerly  Resident Physician  to the
 New-York Hospital, Lecturer on the Theory and Practice of Physic, Censor
 of the State and New-York Medical Societies, &c &c.
  I am very glad to  find the press engaged in diffusing a knowledge  of the
 German medical literature in this country.   At  the  head  of the  German
 books of practice stands this book of the good Hufeland.  Mr. Bruchhausen
 and Dr. Nelson have laboured with diligence and good  faith in rendering the
 Enchiridion; and so far  as I have had leisure to compare their work with
 the original, I find no error.  I heartiiy wish success to the good enterprise.

  The  reputation of the  venerable eclectic  of Germany scarcely requires
 endorsement even on this  side of the Atlantic.   An independent  and original
 thinker, Hufeland  laboured for the cause of medical science, and has acquired
 a universal renown, amply attested  to by his "Journal of Practical  Medi-
cine," " Art of Prolonging Life," " System of Practical Medicine," and nu-
merous Essays, besides personal contributions of humane and necessary inno-
vations  in  the treatment of " Inoculation,"  " Small  Pox," and " Signs of
 Death."  His last work, Enchiridion Medicum, concentrates the experience
of his entire medical life, and fully maintains, in  its careful and concise de-
scription  and  diagnosis of diseases, all the evidence of the discriminating in-
 tellect ofthe Patriarch of German medical literature.

  I have looked over the Enchiridion Medicum of Professor Hufeland.   It is
an excellent compendium of German Practice, and will be found a valuable
vade mecum to the student and practitioner.  It can profitably be perused, and
ought to be in the hands of all physicians.  The justly distinguished reputation
ofthe author will make it  a work generally sought for.
