V/ WBK Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1878, By BOERICKE & TAPEL, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C SHERMAN A CO., PRINTERS AND STEREOTYPERS, PHILADELPHIA. TO MY BROTHER, REV. MAX E. LILIENTHAL, PH.D., THE PLAYMATE OF MY CHILDHOOD, MY CHUM DURING COLLEGE YEARS, THE FAITHFUL AND LOVING BROTHER DURING ALL THE LONG YEARS OF OUR VARIED LIFE, WITH ITS SHADES AND SUNSHINE, &h,i0 toork, AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS' STUDY AND PRACTICE, IS DEDICATED IN LASTING LOVE AND AFFECTION. PREFACE. There is a just and continual outcry against the impossibility of mastering our ever-increasing Materia Medica, and many physi- cians are therefore in the habit of making their own repertories, in order to facilitate the selection of the simile. They give hints and only hints, and always necessitate further study, in order to ascertain the similimum. Thus originated this treatise on thera- peutics, which, with great diffidence, I now put before my profes- sional brethren ; and I hope and trust that it shall be of as much benefit to them, especially to the younger ones, as it has been to me during the many years of my medical practice. Jahr's Clinical Guide, which I had the honor to bring out in a new edition some ten years ago, is still the skeleton around which I clustered the experience of our best men. There is nothing origi- nal in such a work, but I culled from our whole literature, wherever I found something valuable to be preserved. Still, omissions will be plenty, and I would earnestly beseech, therefore, some of the friends of our cause to get their copy interleaved, in order that every omission can be filled out and corrections made wherever neces- sary. Only thus can we hope to have finally a work worthy to be named Ilonueopathic Therapeutics. Samuel Lilienthal, M.D. New York, 230 West Twenty-fifth Street, September, 1878. HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. ABORTUS. See Miscarriage. ABSCESSES, internal and external, § i. Internal ab- scesses generally require the same remedies as external. A preference should be given : a. For acute abscesses, to: 1, bell., hep., mere, sil.; 2, apis, ars., asa., bry., cepa., cham., hep., lach., led., mez., phos., puis., sulph. 6. For chronic abscesses, whether cold or occasioned by conges- tions, to: asa., aur., calc, carb. v., con., hep., iod., laur., lye, mang., mere, mere e, nitr. ae, phosph., sep., sil., sulph. Further, if there arises on any internal or external part«a painful, red, inflamed, swelling, which may point and form a suppurating swelling, 6eZZ., or if this does not succeed in twentj^-four to forty-eight hours, hepar will often disperse the whole swelling and keep suppura- tion off; but when once matter has formed, mere, will bring on the discharge of the pus and frequently finish the case up, its chief in- dication being, that suppuration must have already taken place. Should the open wound not heal under the continuation of mere, give hep. or silic, which are the real specifics against all benignant or malignant suppurations. If the abscess looks erysipelatous, apis,. bell.; if bluish, lach. § 2. Particular indications: Apis. Threatened or incipient abscess, where the stinging, burn- in & pains are marked. Arnica.

Great debility, general prostration, sleeplessness, and rest- lessness. AsafCBtida Abscesses discharging a colorless, serous pus; vio- lent oains on contact, and great sensitiveness of the adjoining parts. "Rplladonna Great sensitiveness to cold air; pressure, burn- in Jand stino-ino-'in the abscess: scarlet redness and hot swelling; nus scanty, diee°sv, and flocculent. Hepatic abscess. ttrvonia The tumor is either very red or very pale, with ten- sive pains. Complains of heaviness and hardness of the abscess. 2 10 HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. Calendula.

AMBLYOPIA. Weakness or morbid alteration of sight. § 1. Weakness of sight, from mere dim-sightedness to complete blindness, may arise from so many causes, and may be attended with so many different morbid states of the organism, that there is scarcely a remedy which is not of advantage in the treatment of this affection. I have, therefore, noted only the most efficacious remedies for am- blyopia, furnishing particular indications to serve as points of sup- port, and to facilitate the selection of remedies for particular cases. The principal remedies for amblyopia are: 1, aur., bell., cale, canst., chin., cie, cin., dros., hyose, mere, natr. m., n. vom., phos., puis., ruta, sep., sil., sulph., verat.; 2, agar., cann., caps., cimicif., con., croc, dig., dule, euphr., guai., kal., lach., lye, magn., natr., nitr. a., op., plumb., rhus, see, spig., tart., zinc. For amblyopia, simple weakness of sight: 1, anae, bell., cale, caps., cin., croc, hyose, lye, magn., puis., ruta, sep., sulph.; 2, cann., caust., sep., natr., natr. m., phos., plumb., etc. For amblyopia amaurotica (incipient amaurosis): 1, aur., bell., cale, caps., caust., chin., cie, con., dros., dule, hyose, mere, natr., natr. m., nitr. ae, op., phosph., puis., rhus, see, sep., sil, stilph., veratr., zinc; 2, agar., cin., dig., euph., guai., kal., kal. bi., lach., lachn. ? lye, n. mosch. ? plumb., veratr. vir. For complete amaurosis, provided it is not incurable, the same remedies should be used as for amblyopia amaurotica, the remedy depending not so much upon the degree of weakness, as upon the totality of the symptoms. Unless secondary symptoms should require other remedies, we may use: bell., cale, mere, phosph., sep., sulph., etc., though any other remedy may be used if indicated by the gen- eral symptoms. AMBLYOPIA. 13 For erethic amaurosis, principally: bell., cact., cale, cie, cimicif., con., gels., hyose, mere, nitr. a., op., phos., sep., sulph., etc. For torpid amaurosis: aur., caps., caust., chin., dros., dule, natr., natr. m., op., phos. ae, plumb., see, veratr. § 2. As regards external causes, if the weakness should have been caused by fine work, give bell, or ruta, or perhaps carb. v., cale, gels., lachn., and spigel.; by old age: aur., baryt, con., op., phos., sec. After suppression of a habitual bloody'discharge, as haemorrhoids, menstruation, etc.: bell., cale, lye, n. vom., phos., puis., sep., sulph.

By scrofula: 1, bell., cale, chin., cin., dule, mere, sulph.; 2, aur., euphr., hep., n. vom., puis. By drinking: cale, chin., lach., n. vom., op., sulph. By suppression of a suppuration or mucous discharge: chin., euphr., hep., lye, puis., sil., sulph. By catching cold in the head or in the eyes: 1, bell., dule; 2, chain., euphr., mere, n. vom , puis., sulph. By external injuries, blows on the head, violent concussions: 1, arn.; 2. con., euphr., rhus., ruta or staph. § 3. As regards the affections, which may attend amblyopia, the principal remedies are: If nervous headache: aur., bell., bry., cale, hep., nitr. a., n. vom., nitr. ae, phos., puis., sep., sulph , etc. If congestion of blood to the head: aur., bell., cale, chin., gels., hyose, n. vom., op., phos., sil., sulph., etc. If hearing and the ear is affected: cie, glon., nitr. a., petr., phos., puis., etc. If by gastric and abdominal ailments: ant., cale, caps., chin., coce, lye, natr. m., n. vom., phos., puis., sulph.

If by diseases of the heart: aur., cact., cale, cann., dig., lach., phos., puis., sep., spig. If by spasm, epilepsy: bell., caust., cie, ignat., hyose, lach., op., sil., stram., sulph. § 4. As regards symptoms, the remedy should be selected in accord- ance with the totality thereof, both the symptoms of the eye and those of the general organism. But as it would be impossible to enumerate those sj^mptoms without repeating the pathogenesis of every remedy indicated, we must content ourselves with furnishing the following particular indications for the different remedies of the eyes, leaving to the practitioner the business of supplying omissions and modifying 14 HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. our indications agreeably to the general symptoms of the patient.

After the one or the other has done all that could be expected, we follow it with sulphur, one or two doses in three or four weeks, and the little that yet remains, one or two doses cale, given in six or eight weeks, will suffice to remove.

Jahr treated twenty-one cases of this disease, arising from onanism, accompanied with hypochondria, despondency, aversion to life. The characteristic unsteadiness of the limbs and the peculiar formication in the back were present in every case; and he gave in every case one dose of nux vom. £$, allowing it to act from two to three weeks; and then sulphur -^, allowing it to act from four to five weeks. If unpleasant symptoms remain, resort to cale, carb. veg, caust, phos. ae He never saw any benefit from china, nor from staphis, but they may prove useful in some cases. Atrophy, with perfect paralysis of the lower extremities, has so far not shown itself very amenable to treatment, but when alum, does not help, he would propose : nux vom., sulph, n. vom., caust, n. vom., cale, carb. v., coce, phos, rhus tox, in this order and alternation, in a single dose and at long intervals.

Relief may be sometimes obtained by covering the burned surface with linen rags soaked in a saturated solution of alum, and the air kept off by allowing the linen to remain in close contact with the burn, and keeping it wet with the solution ; others recom- mend Cosmoline or Yasoline, similarly applied, or the following oint- ment may be used after washing the scald with warm Castile soap- suds : Glycerin, 5 ounces ; white of eggs, 4 ounces ; Tincture of arnica, 3 ounces. Mix the Glycerin and Albumen intimately, and then add gradually the Arnica. Apply freely on rags, two or three times a day. Carbolated cotton is also an excellent dressing, and in the hurry of the first applieation after the accident, cotton batting alone has done well. The French prefer crude Petroleum as an application. Prof. Hewson highly recommends to cover the burned surface with powdered earth, and cover it with blue tissue-paper, and all to be retained by spiral bandaging (Am. Observer, viii). Aconite.

CONDITIONS OP AGGRAVATIONS, or Ameliora- tion of the Symptoms. § 1. There are practitioners who select a remedy principally with reference to the external conditions of the symptoms, such as: the time of clay when they appear, the side of the body, head, chest., etc , where they appear, etc. This is evidently going too far, though it cannot be denied that these external conditions have a general value in many cases, and facilitate the selection of a remedy, provided the practitioner is otherwise thoroughly acquainted with the essential points of our Materia Medica. To select a remedy with reference to these external conditions exclusively might prove of great detriment to the patient. § 2. As regards the time of day, give: a.

Compare Urinary Difficulties. ITCH. Scabies. For dry itch mere and sulph. alternately every four, six, or eight days, until an improvement takes place, or the symptoms change; these new symptoms generally indicate carb. veg. or hepar, provided 374 HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. it is dry itch, or caust. if a few pustules should have supervened. Symptoms remaining often yield to sepia or veratr. For pustular itch give sulph. and lycopod. alternately as above. When the itch becomes more dry, give carb. veg. or mere Give caust. once a day where sulph. and lye. remain without effect, and where this also fails resort to mere, a dose every forty-eight hours. Ulcers indicate clem, or rhus, and where the pustules change to large vesicles of a yellowish or bluish color, give lachesis. Thus teaches Jahr. Jousset believes only in parasinoidal treatment, orders general fric- tion of the body with green soap for half an hour (pumice or sand- soap), a hot bath for an hour, and then general friction with ointment of lard 300 gras., flores sulph , 50 gms., subcarb. of potash, 25 gms. Hering finds for the itch a successful practice of sleeping with the twigs of the poplar (populus balsamifera) in the bed. The buds are resinous and kill the acari as surely as the pyrethrum kills bedbugs, or borax the cockroaches. Balsam of Peru, if genuine, stirred in water, and the clearer portion used as a bath, is next best; also tolu balsam. This destruction of the acari never developed any bad symp- toms whatever. At the Vienna Hospital the patient is rubbed all over with soft soap for half an hour, takes then a tepid bath for another half hour, is dried, and when in bed rubbed all over with a solution of two parts styrax to one of glycerin, packed, left for several hours in his pack, takes then another tepid bath, and after a few such procedures is dis- charged.

PODAGRA. See Arthritis. POISON, ADIPIC. This dreadful poison sometimes develops itself in badly kept sausages or other pork. According to Hering. a beverage composed of equal portions of vinegar and water, to be taken in large quantities, is the best antidote. It may likewise be employed as a wash or gargle. Instead of vinegar lemon-juice may be employed ; and, if the pa- tient should desire, these acids may be used alternately with sugar, black coffee, or fresh black tea. If the dryness of the throat should continue after using these remedies, and, if even slimy injection should not procure an evacu- ation from the bowels, give bry., and continue it as long as the symp- toms continue to be unfavorable. The ailments which remain after bry. sometimes yield to phos. ac.; and, if paralysis or consumption should set in, give ars. or kreos. POISONING. Toxication. § 1. We refer to Dr. Hering's treatise on ': Poison," from which the principal items contained in this work about poisons and their anti- dotes have been borrowed. § 2. In treating a case of poisoning, two things are required: 1. Removal of the exciting cause; and 2. Treatment of the disease occa- sioned by the poisoning. This treatment is to be conducted in every case agreeably to the principles of the new school. The removal of the poisonous substances should be effected by the simplest and most innocent method, either with the finger, or, if this should be impossible, as in the case of poisons that had been swal- lowed, we recommend the following means suggested by Hahnemann and Hering : 1. Excite vomiting or stool by the simplest means, copious admin- 35 506 HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. istration of tepid water, irritating the fauces by means of a feather, or something similar; placing on the tongue a pinch of salt, snuff, or mustard; or, if neither of these means should be sufficient, resort to injections of tobacco-smoke. 2. Neutralize the poison by means of: the white of an egg, vinegar, or lemon-juice, coffee, camphor, milk, oil, soap, mucilaginous drinks, tea, wine, sugar; or, in some cases, ammoniacal gas, iron-rust, char- coal, kitchen salt, epsom salt, sweet almond oil, spiritus nitr. dule, potash, boiled starch, etc. § 3. Particular indications : White Of an egg, dissolved in a sufficient quantity of water, and used as a drink, especially for: metallic substances, such as quick- silver, corrosive sublimate, verdigris, tin, lead, and sulphuric acid ; when the patient complains of violent pains in the stomach or abdo- men, with tenesmus, or diarrhea, and pains at the anus. Vinegar. Antidotes poisoning with alkaline substances, but is hurtful in cases of poisoning with mineral acids, corrosive vegetable substances, arsenic, and a large quantity of salts. In many cases it removes the ill-effects of aconite, opium, narcotic substances, poisonous mushrooms, belladonna, carbonic acid gas, hepar sulphuris, poisonous mussels and fish, and even of adipic acid. The vinegar may be drank or administered by the rectum, alternately with mucilaginous sub- stances. The vinegar should be as pure as possible. Crab vinegar is of itself poisonous. Coffee. Strong black coffee, the beans being little roasted, and drank as hot as possible. Indispensable for a large number of poisons, especially when causing drowsiness, intoxication, loss of consciousness, or mental derangement, delirium, etc., in general antidoting narcotic substances, such as: opium, nux vom., belladonna, narcotic mush- rooms, poisonous sumach, bitter almonds, prussic acid, and all those substances containing it, bell, colocynth., valer., cicuta and cham. In case of poisoning with antimony, phosphor, and phosphoric acid, coffee is no less indispensable. Camphor. Principal antidote of all vegetable substances, espe- cially such as have a corrosive effect, or when vomiting and diarrhoea, pale face, cold extremities, and loss of consciousness are present. Cam- phor is a specific remedy for the ill-effects of poisoning insects, espe- cially cantharides, whether administered internally or externally. Likewise for the effects of so-called worm medicines, tobacco, bitter almonds, and other fruits containing prussic acid. It is likewise use- ful for the secondary affections remaining after poisoning with acids, salts, metals, phosphorus, poisonous mushrooms, etc., after the poi- sonous substance itself has been removed from the stomach by means of vomiting, etc. Milk. Less useful than is supposed. To procure an artificial covering or envelop for the poison, mucilaginous substances are to be preferred. Fat milk (or cream) is suitable in all cases where oil is useful, and injurious where oil also would be hurtful. Curdled or sour milk is suitable or not suitable in all cases where vinegar is or is not. Olive Oil. Less useful than is believed. It is of no use in cases of metallic poisoning, and even hurtful in cases of poisoning with arsenic. It is very bad for the ill-effects of canthar. This remark applies to poisoning with any other insect, or if the poison should POISONING. 507 have got into one's eye. Oil may be used to facilitate the extraction of insects from the ear in case they should have got into it. Oil is most suitable for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as nitric acid, sulphuric acid, etc. It is sometimes useful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, to be administered alternately with vinegar, and in cases of poisoning with mushrooms. MucilaginOUS Substances. Drinks or injections of mucilag- inous substances, should be resorted to in cases of poisoning with alkalies, especially when administered alternately with vinegar. Soap. Common castile soap, dissolved in four times its bulk of hot water, and drunk, is one of the best remedies in many cases of poi- soning. It may be drank by the cupful; a cupful every two, three, or four minutes, in all cases where the white of an egg is indicated, but does not produce sufficient relief. Soap is particularly useful in all eases of poisoning with metallic substances, especially arsenic, lead, etc. Likewise for poisoning with corrosive acids, such as : sul- phuric acid, nitric acid, etc., with alum, corrosive vegetable substances, castor oil, etc. Soap is hurtful in cases of poisoning with alkalies, such as: lye, nitrate of silver, potash, soda, oleum tartari, ammonium muriaticum (salmiac), ammonium carbonicum, caustic or burnt lime, barytes, etc. Sugar, or sugar-water, one of the best remedies in many cases. In case of poisoning with mineral acids or alkalies, it is best to resort at once to the specific antidote, though sugar is not hurtful. In case of poisoning with metallic substances, various kinds of paint, verdigris, copper, sulphate of copper, alum, etc., sugar is preferable to every other remedy, and not till the patient has been relieved by the sugar, administer the white of an egg or soap-water alternately with sugar. Sugar is likewise an excellent antidote in cases of poisoning with arsenic, or corrosive vegetable substances. § 4. Of the other antidotes use: Ammoniacal gas. For alcohol, bitter almonds, prussic acid. Iron-rust. For arsenic. Epsom salts. For alkaline poisons. Charcoal. For foul fish, foul meat, poisonous mushrooms, poison- ous mussels, etc. Kitchen salt. For nitrate of silver and poisonous wounds. Magnesia. For acids. Sweet almond oil. For acids. Potash. For acids. Starch. For iodine. Spirits of nitre. For alkaline poisons and animal substances. Tea. For adipic acid and poisonous honey. Wine. For noxious vapors and poisonous mushrooms. § 5. The first thing we have to do, in treating a case of poisoning, is to remove the poison by vomiting, and then to administer suitable antidotes. If we should not be able to ascertain what kind of poison had been swallowed, we should first administer the white of an egg; and, if there should be stupefaction, coffee. If we shonld know that the poison is : a. A metallic substance, we have to give: first,J7i.e white of an egg, 508 HOMCEOPATHIC THERAPEUTICS. sugar-water, soap-water, and afterwards, for the remaining ailments, sulph., which is a real antidote to metals. b. If acids and corrosive substances, give: 1, soap-water; 2, mag- nesia, dissolved in water; 3. chalk-water; 4, alkalies or potash, dis- solved in water, taking a tablespoonful as long as the vomiting con- tinues. Afterwards mucilaginous drinks, and alternately coff. and op, as homoeopathic antidotes. As regards the remaining ailments, give puis, for sulphuric acid ; bry. for muriatic acid; aeon, for the other acids, and especially crab- apple vinegar. If the skin should have been corroded by poisons, apply soap-water, or a watery solution of caust.; and, if corrosive substances should have got into the eyes, apply sweet almond oil, or fresh unsalted butter. e For alkaline substances: 1, vinegar and water, in large quanti- ties ; 2, lemon-juice, or acids from other fruits, diluted with much water ; 3, sour milk ; 4, mucilaginous drinks, or injections. Vinegar is hurtful in cases of poisoning with barytes ; but epsom salt, dissolved in water, renders good service; afterwards : camph., or nitr. spir. The secondary effects of poisoning with potash require coff., or carb. v.; and those of poisoning with spirits of ammonia, hep. d. For the inhalation of noxious vapors, sprinkle the patient with vinegar and water, or let him inhale the vapors of a solution of chlor ; afterwards, after the return of consciousness, give black coffee, or a few closes of op. or bell. (See Vapors.) e. For vegetable poisons: 1, camphor, by olfaction, or sometimes a drop of the spirits of camphor on sugar; 2, black coffee or vinegar, especially for narcotic vegetable juices. The best antidotes for cor- rosive vegetable juices are soap-water and milk. /'. For animal poisons, see the single poisons, such as: canthar - ides, adipic poison, stings of insects, fish poison, poisonous honey, etc. For toad poison, or similar poisons, if they should have got into the stomach, give powdered charcoal, stirred up with oil or milk; or let the patient smell of the sweet spirits of nitre, if bad symptoms should set in, and afterward give ars. If a poison of this kind should have got into the eye, give aeon. § 6. As regards the wounds or bites inflicted by poisonous animals, Hering proposes the following mode of treatment: For the bites of poisonous serpents, mad dogs, or other poisonous animals, apply heat at a distance, for which purpose anything may be used which is handy at the time ; a red hot iron, incandescent piece of coal, or even a burn- ing cigar; hold this as near as possible without burning the skin. The heat should be kept up uniformly, and should be concentrated upon the wound exclusively. The edges of the wound should be covered over with oil or fat, and this should be repeated as often as the skin gets dry. If no oil or fat can be had, use soap, or even saliva. Wipe off carefully everything which is discharged from the wound. Continue the application of heat until the patient feels chilly and stretches himself; if this should take place too speedily, continue to apply the heat for about an hour, or until the effects of the poison commence to disappear. § 7. At the same time administer internal remedies. In the case of a serpent's bite, give the patient a swallow of salt water from time to time, or a pinch of salt or powder, or a few pieces of garlic. POISONING — POLYPI. 509 If, nevertheless, dangerous symptoms should set in, give a table- spoonful of wine or brandy every two or three minutes ; continue this until the symptoms abate, and repeat the brandy at every return of a paroxysm. If the stitching pains should increase in violence, and be felt near the heart; if the wound, at the same time, should be bluish, check- ered like marble and swollen, with vomiting, vertigo, and diarrhcea, give ars.30, and another dose in half an hour, if the symptoms should continue to get worse, or only in three hours, if they should remain unchanged ; if an improvement should set in after the first close, do not repeat the medicine until the symptoms get worse again. If ars . even if repeated, should have no effect, give bell. In some cases senega may be tried. The chronic sequela? of the bite of a ser- pent require phos. ac. and mere § 8. If the bile should have been inflicted by a mad dog, apply heat at a distance, as above, and, for the remaining treatment, see Hydro- phobia. If the bite should proceed from a man or animal which is not macl, but furious, give hydrophobin, which is recommended by Hering. § 9. Wounds which have become poisonous in consequence of de- cayed animal matter or pus having got into them, require ars. To guard against unpleasant consequences in case we should have to touch decayed animal substances, poisonous wounds or ulcers, or men and animals infected with contagious diseases, we should hold our hands for ten or fifteen minutes near as strong a heat as can be borne, and afterwards wash them with soap. The use of chlor in such cnses is well known. POLYPI.

Rub the patient all over with soft soap, with exception of face ; let him then take a tepid bath for half an hour, then dried and put to bed. Here he is rubbed all over with a solution of two parts sty rax to one part glycerin, left for several hours in his pack, and then takes another tepid bath. Expense trifling. SCALDS. See Burns.
