The author wishes to call particular attention to the following points: First: He has been obliged to omit the larger part of the Full Form on account of keeping the price of the " Sample Fascicle''' down at a level that will make it purchasable as a "sample copy." He has in MS. the Full Form of Arsenicum met., Arsenite of copper, Arseni- cum hydride, Arsenicum iodide, Arsenite of potassium, Arsenate of sodium. Had these been printed, the volume would have reached at least 500 pages, and made the price too high for a "sample copy." Second : Two samples have been presented as object lessons in the present copy. The fine print of the first part of Arsenicum album, Fidl Form, presents much matter in little space. It is not the Author's idea. The larger print of the final pages of this copy accord with his best judgment, and seem to him to be the proper print and arrangement for the Full Form. This will be used if the work is continued. Third: The Author is in doubt regarding the advisability of pub- lishing the Full Form at all! Do the profession want it ? Will they buy it? Is it necessary ? To the Author it seems a very necessary part of Materia Medica, for the purpose of gaining a correct and complete understanding of the drug. From this part alone, can one gain a correct knowledge of the association of symptoms, which is undoubtedly the key to the most successful use of drugs. Fourth: The cost op the complete work will depend largely on answers to the above questions. (1). If only the Condensed Form is published, the price will be $8.00 per volume of 600 to 700 pages. (2). If the Full and Condensed Forms are both published, and the Full Form printed in the larger type, shown in the last pages of Full Form of Arsenicum album in the present volume, the price will be $5.00 per volume of 600 to 700 pages. This means in the best cloth binding. In leather it will be $1.00 more per volume, added to each IV. NOTICE TO THE READER. of the above mentioned figures. The reasons for the difference are briefly these: the greater part of the Full Form must practically be written out before the Condensed Form can be constructed; the work is enormous, and must be thrown away in case the Full Form is not published. By way of experiment to test the sense of the public, several sizes of type have been used in this volume. Fifty "PartialProof Copies " were struck off in June, 1895. From opinions gathered from these, the work, if continued, will all be printed in the type and style of Arsenicum (met.) p. 1, and Arsenite of copper, p. 115, etc. The Editor solicits criticisms from any and every one who is interested in improving our Materia Medica. He has manuscript on hand for the first two volumes of both Forms, but is desirous of improving upon this plan in any way possible. To this end he desires adverse as well as commendatory correspondence. Ft. Edward, N. Y., January 1st, 1896. PROLOGUE. The present volume is an effort toward the production of an ideal Materia Medica on the basis of Similia simili- bus curantur. It is not expected that it will be free from faults ; that would be superhuman. Again, ideals depend on individual views of the ends to be attained. The. views on which this work has been planned, and the ends sought to be accomplished by it, are briefly these: That every man has a right to be, in a large degree, his own judge of the value of any given symptom. The ipse dixit of no man is to be accepted as final, but he should be required to furnish forth reasons for the assertions he makes. Hence, Hahnemann's dogmatic way of writing down a symptom, and then destroying all evidence of its source, is a proceeding to be greatly deplored. As regards the symptoms themselves, the time and fre- quency of their appearance, the associate or concomitant symptoms, as well as the antecedent and sequent, have seemed to me very valuable points, which cannot be neg- lected, if a clear understanding of the action of the drug is to be attained. 'The same aggregate or totality of symptoms can be produced only by the same morbific cause acting in the same manner and direction." (Dunham.) It is necessary to gain a clear apprehension of "the aggregate" in the individual manifestations of the drug. i vi. PROLOGUE. The Materia Medica of the present destroys all this, despite the repeated assertions of such leaders as Dunham, Farrington, Hughes, Hay ward, Dudgeon, and many others, that such associations of symptoms are essential. For the past ten years, in the magazines, in the State and National Associations, I have constantly advocated these principles. Some of these papers are republished in the Appendix. During most of that time I have employed the greater part of my leisure in elaborating a plan that would ade- quately set forth these facts in a practicable form. To this end it seemed necessary to offer on the one hand, opportun- ity for an exhaustive study of the drug, and on the other, means for rapid and cursory consultation of its essential features. It is at once apparent that the task involved the widest departure from established customs. From the inception of this work the ground traversed has been wholly new to me. Had I profited as much as I might have done by the labors of others, a part of my work would have been easier. As it now stands, the plan from beginning to.end has been worked out without outside suggestions. It is no small satisfaction, to have found it paralleled in some degree by the latest work of others. I refer to the physiological arrangement of symptoms in Materia Medica, Physiological and Applied, and to Underwood1 s little volume on Materia Medica. My own plan was wrought out in detail before the leaves of the former work were cut in the copy then on my shelves. This has encouraged me to think that I may not be so far from the right path. The physiological arrangement accords best with the manifestations of natural disease and the pathogenetic manifestations of the drug. It is also in better harmony with modern research as set forth in the experimental sciences. PROLOGUE. VII. In working out the problems encountered I have never for a moment considered the amount of labor already bestowed upon a then existing plan. As a consequence of this, I had at the end of five years' hard labor, employing all my leisure time, nothing to show but my experience. After Aconite, Arsenic, Apis, Arnica, and Belladonna had each been worked out in detail, and Arnica and Apis revised no less than three several times, I still had nothing to show. The whole work went into the flames. And so it has been again and again ; I have never hesitated to revise my plan at the last moment, if another, with sufficiently strong inducements, presented itself, calling for improved methods of presentation. I will not say with Aurora Leigh, "Behold at last a book, If life-blood's necessary,—which it is, (By that blue vein athrod on Mahomet's brow, Each prophet-poet's book must show man blood!) If life-blood's fertilizing, I wrung mine On every leaf of this,—unless the drops Slid heavily on one side and left it dry. That chances often ; many a fervid man Writes books as cold and flat as grave-yard stones." I can only say I have tried to make a book that shall commend itself to the practical man in the most practical way. What I now send out is but "A Sample Fascicle." If it meets the approbation I hope it may, and the profession see fit to sustain the plan by substantial aid, the work will go on. With the experience I now have, by calling to my aid amanuenses and type-writers, I can easily get out six to eight hundred pages a year. If the work is sustained in the way I hope it deserves VIII. PROLOGUE. to be, if it meets the requirements of the times, as I hope it may, it will prove an indispensable adjunct to the outfit of every intelligent homoeopathic practitioner. To carry the work to a successful termination, I mast have at least one thousand bona fide subscribers. If, after a sufficient length of time, these are not forthcoming, I shall stop where I am. Already I have wasted as much time, energy, and opportunity as I can afford. To go on with the work under less favorable circumstances would only be to sink these factors of life deeper and deeper in a hopeless slough. If I receive sufficient support, I shall cover the e7itire field of homceopathic materia medica. The offer is to the English speaking and English read- ing people of the world. A comprehensive and a compre- hensible work has here been projected, on a larger, clearer, and more elaborate scale than has ever been attempted hitherto. At the same time, it is believed to be unequaled in its applicability to everyday work, in the saving of time and energy, and in the clear presentation of facts necessary to intelligent prescribing. M. W. VANDENBURG, M. D. Fort Edward, N. Y. Jan. ist, 1895. PREFACE. A work that shall embrace all materia medica up to date, except such as is scattered through magazine literature, and present it in an accessible, practical, and usable form, is a desideratum felt by every practitioner of Homoeopathy. Condensed Materia Medicas we have, enough and to spare. Re- condensations and Key Notes. Repertories, small and large, and one that is comprehensive and universal. But a materia medica that embraces all symptoms in the standard works, that conveys reliable information regarding origin and data, is not known. To reach such a result requires an entire review and revision. The revision of Homoeopathic Materia Medica is a work of such magnitude, that no one has seriously undertaken it since Allen's Encyclopedia. The object of the Cyclopedia of Drug Path- ogenesy was to sift the doubtful sources of symptoms, and separate the pathogenetic from the clinical. But this work gives only the pathogenetic. In the sphere it was intended to fill, it is an under- taking that cannot be too warmly commended, nor too highly esti- mated. It furnishes the bed-rock for all future structures. But it is a mechanical impossibility to use it in looking up a case. If all the symptoms were reduced to a repertory, the same objection would hold regarding its employment in everyday work. For practical consultation, symptoms closely related to those manifested by the patient must be brought into a reasonably small space for comparison. The mind must not be distracted by a multi- tude of inconsequential, or unrelated phenomena, nor must the phases of the similar sickness as manifested by different individual provers be too widely separated for comparison. When thus separated it is a physical impossibility to employ the work in practical prescribing. IX x. PREFACE. This is the strongest objection to the Cyclopedia of Drug Patho- genesy, which work has been made the basis of the present under- taking. Without such previous labors, and they have been very great, any such wrork as is here proposed would be an impossibility.* Too much stress cannot be laid on the purity of pathogenetic symptoms in the outset. This view has led me to reject some of the cases given in the Cyclopedia of Drug Pathogenesy, for the reason that the symptoms are rendered doubtful by the possible influences of other drugs. Such, for example, is No. n Toxic, in Arsenicum album, where it is worth while to consider what part 40 grains of Calomel had in modifying the acute symptoms, and the inordinate use of opiates in modifying the chronic manifestations. Cases of this sort have been very sparingly admitted to the present work, and have in every instance been prominently noted in their departure from the standard. Absolute fairness demands that these admissions be made at the outset. On the other hand, Clinical Symptoms, if they have been verified by several or many practitioners, are of a very positive value in treating the sick. They cannot be ignored without loss in the efficient application of the drugs at our command. They should by all means be present in every consulting materia medica; at the same time they should be readily distinguishable from pathogenetic symptoms, where the distinction can be made. Such is not always the case in Hahnemann. The two sorts are inextricably mixed and confused, as is clearly shown by the annotations of Drs. Hughes and Dudgeon. They have shown how impossible it is to ever distinguish the clinical from the pathogenetic in a large part of the purely Hahnemannic symptoms. Again, it is there clearly shown, that not the slightest regard has been paid to the order of appearance, or concomitant manifestations. This is strikingly illustrated in Arsen- icum album by the Langhammer symptoms regarding the scalp. Symptom No. 148 appeared after wyi hours; No. 151, after 8 h.; No. 154, after 8^ h.; No. 155, after 7 h.; No. 156, after 2 h.; No. * Since the beginning of this work, some discussion has arisen regarding the reliability of the work in the Cyclopedia of Drug Pathogenesy. In this discussion the Editor has taken the liveliest interest, and some public part. The result of it all seems to be, that Dr. Hughes, the chief com- piler of that great work, in his desire to be rigidly reliable, has, in a few cas-es, left out symptoms which he deemed unimportant. He has also in a few cases too closely condensed the diffuse symptoms. In addition to this, as happens to all human work, there may be an occasional unintentional omission, through oversight. But these are errors of omission, not of commission • all the symptoms given are reliable, and are pure pathogenetic symptoms, to the best of his judgment, in the selected cases. If any emendations are made to the Cyclopedia, they will be trifling compared to what it now contains, and will be in the nature of additions, not of subtrac- tions. The Editor has carefully compared the C. D. P. with Allen's Encyc., and has included all found in these two works, as well as all of Hahnemann and Hering. PREFACE. XI. 157, after 3 h. Commingled with these and filling up the intervals, are symptoms from powdering the hair with arsenic. How can any one form any adequate idea of the course of arsenic disease of the scalp from this record, with no distinctions expressed? And similar discrepancies exist in other parts of the same pathogenesis. And what is true in this case is true in almost every instance in the Hahnemannic order of arrangement. Neither are all the Hahnemannic symptoms of this pathogen- esis from ars-alb, as will be seen by glancing at the Hahnemannic authorities given in the present volume. As far as possible, this variation will be noted in the case of every symptom where it is given. Such Hahnemannic symptoms as were plainly derived from hydrogen arsenide, etc., were transferred to their proper patho- genesis. Hering gives no other authority for his Arsenicum album symptoms than Hahnemann. In his preface, he claims that his work "is a complement to all other works on materia MEDICA, BEING PRINCIPALLY A COLLECTION OF CURED SYMPTOMS." This peculiar characteristic of his work should always be kept in mind'when using Hering's symptoms. Regarding Allen's symptoms of Arsenicum album, it has not always been possible to disentangle them from the Hahnemannic symptoms on the one hand, or the Cyc. of Drug Path, on the other. In a general way it may be said, symptoms of Allen's Nos. from 1 to 89 inclusive, and 90 to 94 inclusive, also No. 99, No. 172, and some others, all of which need not be mentioned here, have been omitted • because found in Hahnemann, or in the Cyc. of Drug Path., or both. The only misleading thing that can result from any possible repeti- tions that may remain, is that a symptom may be given as appearing in two instances, when in reality it was manifested only by one and the same case. The prolixity of the symptoms in all these authors, has been occasionally curtailed, without omitting anything essential. Where the same symptom is present in all three, they are each accredited with it, and in a similar way where appearing in only one or two authorities. In this "Sample Fascicle" two general works on materia medica have here been combined in one. In the Second, or Full Form, the symptoms manifested by each prover or toxic case, are grouped under his personal designation in such a way as to show their success- ion in time; their concomitant symptoms are shown by brief abbre- viated references accompanying each symptom. By this means XII. PREFACE. Antecedence, Concomitance, and Sequence are clearly and briefly indicated. The physiological system affected is shown by grouping together the closely related symptoms under the following general headings: The Nervous System ; The Special Senses ; The Respiratory System ; The Digestive System ; The Urinary System ; The Sexual System; The Fibrous, Osseous, and Tissue Systems; and The Skin and Superficial Glandular Systems. By turning from system to system, a connected history of each individual case may be obtained, when that is desirable. By con- sulting the successive cases, provers and toxic, a sound general idea of the action of the drug on that physiological system will be formed. Hahnemann's, Allen's, and Hering's symptoms, combined or separate, as the case may be, are placed as foot-notes on each page in the Full Form, corresponding to the main symptoms in the text. It is not intended by this, to in any way belittle the authority of these authors; the arrangement is thus made, to keep the pathogenetic entirely separated from the mixed pathogenetic and clinical parts of our homoeopathic materia medica. So long as the authority for each and every symptom is chearly shown at all times and in all places, the consultant is free to trust whom he chooses, and to make his choice intelligently. No work has hitherto rendered this possible. With the mention of each prover or toxic case, is also mentioned the potency, and length of time during which the drug is taken. The full history of drug taking and the time of symptom manifestation are shown in the short Prover'sHistories (see 8—Full Form), prefixed in every case to each drug symptom-list. It has seemed to me that all the ground has hereby been covered which is necessary to a clear, comprehensive, and scientific study of the action of the drug. Noth- ing need be taken for granted. The authority for each statement may, be easily found. It has not been my intention "to go behind the returns " in seeking the ultimate authority for symptoms. If an author has examined an original source, and has concluded there is evidence sufficient to warrant its admission to the materia medica, then he must be held responsible for its validity. If his reputation suffers on further investigation, then his authority must sink to a corresponding level. A work of this magnitude could not be undertaken if one were to attempt to verify every original authority. I have not attempted to do it in a single instance. Each author stands or falls on his own estimation in the public mind. I have, however, compared the cases common to both Allen and the Cyc. of D. Path., in order to detect PREFACE. XIII. any omissions made inadvertently or otherwise. The corrections when present will be readily apparent. The first or Condensed Form, is intended for rapid consultation. It is a Condensed Materia Medica, with the sum total of authority affixed to each symptom. The comparative rank and value of symptoms, is a question second to none in importance to the practitioner of homoeopathy. It is also the most difficult point to establish in a satisfactory manner, since its sole basis is clinical observation and clinical experience. Doubtless many an experienced practitioner carries with him to the grave a mass of information, unwritten and uncommunicated, that would enrich the world, but the demands of his life-work in healing the sick, the lack of aptitude in expressing his knowledge, or the lack of inclination to impart what seems to him peculiarly his personal possessions, has forbidden giving to the public this treasure gathered painfully through long years of practical experience in the use of drugs. Among the most valued and precious boons handed down by Hahnemann, are these distinctions of drug-value. Allen's great work owes the greater part of its value to these gradations marked by Carroll Dunham and Ad. Lippe (Vol. I., p. xv.). Hering's Guiding Symptoms embrace not less than five grades of distinctions. Some of these are too fine to be of practical value, though still of a certain importance. These distinctions are noted in the present work, except some of the finer grades of Hering. In every case the authority is given with the distinction-mark. In addition to this, the Editor has been so fortunate as to enlist the aid of Dr. Aug. Korndoefer, of Philadelphia, than whom a more competent authority in this department cannot be found among living homoeopathic practitioners. Long years of practice, wide exper- ience, an almost painful accuracy in observation, loyal adherence in the application of the law of similars, the strictest sincerity in recording distinctions, and a familiarity with all works of value in the English and German languages, combine to render the value of his personal distinctions second to none that have preceded him, and reliable to a degree that could not be surpassed by any single living practitioner. Doubtless they will meet the lasting appreciation they merit at the hands of our rapidly increasing school. Foot-notes have been introduced into the Condensed Form to elucidate the comparative value of drugs in cases most suitable for the application of the main drug. These must needs be restricted in xrv. PREFACE. amount; but when a topic is under treatment it is not intended to refer to it again in a like manner. Hence, when it would come in for review under a cognate drug, it will be referred to by a note giving volume and page where the review may be found. Let no one be misled into supposing that such works as Dunham, Farrington, Burt, Allen, Bell, Neidhard, and others, have been exhausted in these notes. Such is not the case, and the notes should lead to a more intimate acquaintance with these leaders in elucidation of homoeopathic materia medica, and the high appreciation they well deserve.

The use of the drug seems very restricted, judging from the reports in the medical journals. It would seem from the provings the 30 c is quite as effective as the lower potencies.

The provings of Arsenicum Metallicum are too meager to furnish ground for an extensive employment of the drug. Though Hering claims that several took part in the provings, still he is too vague, and the symptoms given in addition to those mentioned in the prov- ings of Dr. Stevenson are few and unimportant. In a single prover's report of the effects of a drug, though he may have been very exact in his methods, yet the range must of necessity be determined in a large degree by the prover's suscept- ibility and personal idiosyncrasy. To gain a good working knowl- edge of the drug, there must be many provers, as well as many provings. The debility of ars-met does not seem to have been accompanied by the characteristic restlessness of ars-alb. On the contrary, the patient was disposed to remain quiet, and Hg. says, very lazy. It is certain he was much more disposed to sleep than usual. The mind, as thus far developed by the provings, has none of the anxiety of ars-alb, though very much depressed. It would seem to resemble the latter in the desire to be alone, but this desire seems more marked in ars-met. The symptoms of the inner head are more suggestive of passive congestion, and seem to lack the neuralgic twinges of ars-alb, being much more of the night-shade family type, bell, hyosc, and stram being near allies in this respect. Exceedingly drowsy and sleepy, the sleep is apt to be disturbed by very distressing dreams, mostly of danger by water, suggesting, as Hering claims, heart trouble. Not much of a febrile cycle was developed; but a very strongly marked symptom, depending either on the special influence of the drug (which would be shown in future provings), or in the peculiarity of the prover, the throbbing all over of the patient, was present at many stages of the proving. Attendant also was a still more impor- tant symptom, the constant morning rise of the pulse, which was far beyond the normal in several instances, while the evening fall reached a point below normal. This symptom seems to have been very (B.) Bcenninghausen. (i-B.) Boenninghausen, first rank. (Hg.) Hering. (G.) Gentry (Al ) Allen (Hn.) Hahnemann. (L.JUppe. (Bl.)Bell. (J.) Johnson's Repertory. (N.)

On the eyes the drug has evidently a direct action, but it is not yet developed enough to be of much use. In the Respiratory Tract, there is coryza, apparently less acrid than ars-alb, though by no means always bland, and it strongly suggests hay-fever. The secondary discharge isthick and yellow. Asthmatic breathing was marked, so Hg. states, and seems to have been worse before breakfast, and at night. The peculiar pain from the left cltest running down to the elbjzv of the left arm, seemed to have been developed in one case, in a patient of mine, a strong, florid laborer, to whom I gave the drug in the 3X trit., for slight swelling of the face, hands, and feet following getting sweaty and wet during a spring freshet. He complained much of the pain for twelve hours; Bell, 6x, relieved all the symptoms. Upon the Digestive System the action of ars-met would seem to be very similar to ars-alb. The diminished and perverted appetite, vomiting, the watery, acrid stool, with burning and griping, followed by relief for the time being, are all suggestive of oxide of the metal. The weakness so characteristic of the oxide is differentiated by the concomitant drowsiness and strong tendency to sleep so markedly present in Dr. Stevenson's case. There is possibly some action on the liver, perhaps also on th e spleen, but too little is known to be of much account. The same is true of the action on the urinary tract; but on the genital tract in the male there are suggestions of the possibilities of a great remedy ; as yet, it is only suggestions. This is true in the same way of the female system, where it is both similar and different when compared with ars-alb. The similarity is in the acridityof the discharges; the difference, in the tendency to light-colored discharges, rather than a superabundance of blood. We do not find in the swellings and pains of the tissues that desire for heat, and aggravation from cold, so characteristic of Ars- alb, aor the relief from motion, indicated by being constantly on the move, as in the oxide. Here, too, we cannot help desiring to know more of what promises much, but too indefinitely, as yet. In the Skin System, the superficial inflammation, itching, and subsequent scaly desquamation is very similar to ars-alb, but the peculiar relief from pinching, or pressing, and not from scratching, is a symptom never yet developed in any case, prover's or toxic, by the oxide, and seems so far as I have been able to find entirely unique. On the whole, Arsenicum Metallicum is an irritant poison to a large part of the physiological structure—probably a virulent poison —similar to Arsenicum Album, but differing in enough respects to clearly mark its individuality and to remove all excuse for including it under the same symptomatology, in case these provings are con- firmed by others. Until then, they must be tested most rigidly by clinical use, and our reliance be placed upon the results of such tests, rather than upon the meager provings. ARSENICUM ALBUM. (Condensed Form.) Arsenic— White Arsenic. As2 Or (Arsenious Oxide.) GENERALITIES. 1. Potency. With the majority of practitioners potency is partly a matter of experience, partly of education, and partly of personal inclination. No hard and fast lines can be drawn in expounding it. Yet within certain limits it is amenable to known laws, and the results may be predicted before the drug is administered. In the case of arsenic (and for that matter it is the same with other drugs), such diseases as are closely similar in their manifestations to the effects produced by the drug, are liable to be made worse by appreciable doses. This is the testimony not only of Homoeopathic, but also of Allopathic physi- cians. Hunt says, " The cu; ative powers of the medicine reside only in doses too small to be mischievous, though sufficient to manifestly affect the economy." "The natural disease may be aggravated by the use of the drug" ; Erichseu. (See also Fatal Case No. i.) This accords with Hahnemann's statement, "That too strong a dose of the medicine, though quite similar (in its effects) to the disease, will necessarily pro- duce injurious effects.". As the degree of similarity'between the drug-effects and the natural disease increases, the dose should be diminished. And, as the accurate homoeopathic prescription presupposes a close resem- blance, it follows as a matter of course the dose should in all such cases be small. In the case of arsenic the following is submitted. A single dose of Ars. 30 c, cured the following case : "Fineburning pain in the inner ear, intermitting from time to time for from ten to ninety minutes; during pain great anguish and restlessness, with burning thirst; drinking little at a time, but very often; during the remissions very great prostration and weakness." (Dunham.) Case 2. "A case of pain in the inner ear of 18 mos.' standing; the attacks were distinctly paroxysmal, with remissions; they were attended by great anguish and restlessness, by burning thirst; during remissions there was severe prostration; the characteristic gastralgia and diarrhoea of arsenic were also present; ars. 200 c, cured this case.'' (Dunham.) "Undoubtedly the more of them (the leading symptoms of arsenic) that are present, and the clearer their definition, so to speak, the keener will be the action of the drug, and the more minute may be the dosage." "In Cholera, Typhoid conditions, Cancer, Chronic menorrhagia, and Cutaneous Diseases, the ix trit.; in Chronic Diarrhoea and chronic inflammations, the 3x5 in Acute Coryza, and acute serous effusions, and other acute diseases, the 6x; in Neuralgia, Chronic Intermit- tents, and Asthma, from the 6th upward." (Hughes.) "The crude drug and up to the 1000 c have made excellent cures in asthma; I prefer Fowler's solution in one to five drop doses every four hours." (Burt.) " In acute and in malignant diseases, the lower will prove more effective; the higher potencies in collapsed, neuralgic, and nervous conditions." (Underwood.) "To determine the curative dose of each medicine, neither theoretical conject- ure nor sophistical reasoning will suffice; pure experiment and accurate observa- tion alone will solve the question." (Hahnemann.) 16 ARSENICUM ALB. (CondensedForm). 17 1. Potency. (b). The Allopathic dose is from i-8th to 1- 10th grain in pill form. (Dungli- son.) I-I5th to i-30th grain dose (Nat. Disp.). (c). Toxic Dose. There is to a certain extent quite a latitude in the dan- gerous dose of arsenic. Only half a grain proved well-nigh fatal in the case of Tox. No. 3 (Madam Buchmann). Dr. Perkins took 127 grs. and recovered. It is in all probability more dangerous in solution than in solid form. Allopathic use is advised upon a full stomach. When taken in this way it is much less active. 2. Alternates, Sequents, Cognates, &c. Complementary: All-sat, carb-vcg, (Hg.) ; phos, (Hg., Farr.). Alteryiates: Nux-v, verat, (Bojanus, N. A.

No known remedy so quickly strikes down and annihilates the life of the central ganglia as does Arsenic. Through this System every tissue and organ is more or less affected. (Burt.) Nervous System : Irritant poison; extreme depression of the vital force ; inflammation of brain and meninges ; inflam- mation of the spinal cord, especially the lumbar region, (Dunham); it produces neuralgias, spasms, and paralyses. Respiratory System : Inflammations of the mucous membranes of any part, or of the whole system, even to destructive ulceration. Special Senses: Irritant inflammation of eyes. P., Prover. T., Toxic.

Carbo-veg. is a torpid, sluggish remedy; ars-alb. is restless, tossing, anxious." (Burt.) Carbo-veg. may be nervous, irritable, and anxious, but without tossing. (Far- rington.) In cuprum the parallelism runs very close; '' the collapse of cuprum is with great prostration, from which it is exceedingly difficult to rally. It has great lack of reaction. With the intense vomiting and diarrhoea the patient has the most intense dyspnoea, so he cannot even bear a handkerchief to approach his face." (Farrington.) Perhaps the clearest distinction is in the vomiting relieved by cold water, of cuprum exactly the reverse of ars-alb. Rhus toxicodendron is another very strong analogue of ars-alb. " Beginners are apt to give ars-alb. too soon, and thereby hasten the trouble they seek to pre- vent. I, therefore, say do not give it early in a case unless it is very clearly indicated. Rhus-tox is much preferable." (Farrington.) With the restlessness the rhus patient is apt to be drowsy and stupid, where the ars-alb. patient is wide awake and terribly anxious. " The delirium of the rhus patient is mild, there is little petulance or irritability," while irritability always characterizes the restlessness of ars-alb. Veratrum alb. and veratrum viride are parallels of ars-alb. in the Nervous, Respiratory, and Digestive Systems, but fail in the Tissue and Skin Systems. In delirium verat-alb. is closely like bell, in restless, destructive, belligerent, furious, cases. It has great anxiety, but has not the tossing of hands and feet, with the body too weak to move, belonging to ars-alb. The "cold sweat on the forehead" belongs to both veratra, but is scarcely more than incidental if at all a symptom of ars-alb. In the case of the other drugs mentioned, restlessness and other mental symp- toms will differentiate. fFace yellow, clay-colored, livid; cold, blue, parchment-like skin.

The average time at which the first symptom appeared, in fifteen provers, is a little short of three days; the shortest time included in this number is 2 h.; the longest is 7 d. One prover not in the above reports symptoms "immediately," and another in 5 m. Only five toxic cases give the first symptoms with sufficient accuracy to warrant the belief that they were the first experienced. The average time in these five cases was 23 m.; the shortest, 5 m., the longest period, 1 h. Out of 18 provings and re-provings taken together, no two cases manifested exactly the same symptom at first, t This is instructive as showing the protean forms of arsenical effects, and, therefore, multiform applications of the drug. If we include colic cases in the number, the most common symp- tom manifested by provers was some form of neuralgia; fully two thirds of the cases report symptoms of this class. Attending this, in the provers, was a feeling of uneasiness, which, in the toxic cases, became anxiety of a pronounced type; in the severer forms of toxic cases the anxiety becomes the most terrible angnish, mingled fear of death and the direst calamities. Weariness was a prominent symptom in a number of provers; when present it took the form experienced after severe and long- continued exertion; in toxic cases this became prostration, which was especially manifest during the remissions of pain; this increased in the fatal cases to the most terrible collapse, death following from a thorough exhaustion of vital force. Periodic remissions and a renewal of the symptoms after a longer or shorter interval, either the same symptoms or quite as likely an entirely different set of manifestations, was a marked manifestation of the action of the drug, both in provers and toxic cases, in a majority of the instances quoted. But few examples are on record where the same set of symptoms continue throughout the proving or until death or recovery, as the case might be, in toxic doses. Thirst is a* frequent but by no means a constant attendant; in some cases it was excessive, even in provers, and drinking does not allay desire; in toxic cases it is often most intense; the '' drinking little and often" was not characteristic in any provers nor in toxic cases. Some kind of febrile movement is generally present in all the man- ifestations of arsenical phenomena. A continued sense of chilliness; heat of some one part, as the face, the stomach, the prsecordia, the hands or feet; or general and severe heat; sweat of isolated parts, or general sweat; but in all cases some one of the three stages is suppressed, or deferred, or out of the regular order of succession, or two are tThere are three cases of the head: "dullness," "headache and constriction " "violent head- ache." 1 hree of the eyes : sensitive," " burning," " pain in lids."

Attacks. present at the same time, as chill in one part and heat in another, or chill and sweat, or heat and sweat. Sleep is generally disturbed and broken by weariness, restlessness, vivid and unpleasant dreams, or a periodic invasion of severe symptoms, which is very apt to occur in the evening or at night. The left side is more frequently and more severely affected than the right, in about the proportion of two to one. Burning, though not a constant attendant upon the various phe- nomena, is frequent enough to be characteristic; it is often present both in the external and the internal sensations. Acuteness of suffering is present in nearly every case; it is some- times called hyperaesthesia, sometimes excessive sensitiveness to pain; but it magnifies small complaints and adds to the strength of severe ones. Of aggravations it is difficult to speak; some pains are made worse in the presence of cold; this is true of paralytic cases; in such cases motion is apt to make worse; many are worse from pressure. Ameliorations are but seldom mentioned, except as remissions; motion in a few cases relieves, but it also makes worse in about as many, so that no rule of general application can be made. Each group of symptoms must be considered by itself. " It is of great importance to note the concomitants that precede, accompany, or follow any special manifestation. They often indicate the remedy." (Dunham.) Viewed in this light, when the general constitutional symptoms above mentioned are present as the leading manifestations of a case of sickness, even though the special pain or special part affected be not mentioned in the symptoms of provers or of toxic doses, the chances are almost certain that arsenicum album will relieve and probably cure the case, if that be possible; provided it be administered in a dose so small as not to produce an aggravation.

When collapse comes on very rapidly, with little or no premonitory ill- ness, *and unattended by copious evacuations, aconite is indicated. *The great rapidity of the onset calls for this drug (see camph). (Dr. Cramoisy, quoted by Hughes.) Arse 11 icu m-alb. Arsenic is given the chief place for the treatment of cholera, when the time for arresting it by camphor is past. I believe this is the general experience of homce- opathists. (Hughes.) Camphora Should be given in the first stage, with the rapidly sinking strength, great coldness and anxiety, before the purging and cramps set in. It should be admin- istered by the mouth, by friction of the surface, by clyster, and by inhalation, and should be persevered in. (Hughes.) Cuprum. For the cramping, it is unquestionably the best remedy, and I may add for the vomiting also; it accomplishes much by keeping the stomach quiet, and enabling to introduce and retain other medicines, stimulants, or nourishment. (Proctor, quoted by Hughes.) Phosphorus. Phosphorus will be found very useful in cholera to check the drain ;of brownish fluid from the bowels, which sometimes continues after the other symptoms have subsided. (Proctor, quoted by Hughes.) Secale. Persistent constriction of the arteries is certainly present in cholera. I have great faith in secale in the worst varieties of the disease, especially when occurring in women. (Russell, quoted by Hughes.) Veratrum-alb. This is to be trusted more in cases of violent vomiting and purging, together with the other prominent symptoms, *but which are destitute of the *essential physiognomy of the disease ; such cases pass for cholera, and are curable ; but they differ from the fatal cases in the outset. The sudden and deadly collapse of the latter indicates arsenic. (Russell, quoted by Hughes.) (Farrington thus treats of cholera remedies.) Arsenicu m-alb. Profuse, offensive, watery stools, which are very exhausting (sec, verat-alb); ars-alb lacks the tingling which almost always characterizes the secale case; the restlessness of verat-alb is not so marked as in ars, while the cold sweat on the fore- head is much more prominent; the patient wants to be wrapped up warmly; secale (Note continued on next page.)

(Note continued from preceding page.) wants to be uncovered, as does camph also; there is burning thirst, and the patient feels on fire inside; the anguish, fear, and restlessness of ars is present in a marked degree. (Farr.) Camphora. The system is overwhelmed by the suddenness of the attack, or the violence of the poison; intense prostration is present before either the vomiting or diarrhoea; the body is as cold as ice; the voice is husky and squeaking; tincture of camphor, a few drops in water, a teaspoonful every 15 m., until reaction sets in, when some other remedy will be indicated; camph is better suited than verat-alb when the discharges are scanty and the nausea marked. (Farr.) Carbo-veg. In collapse, when the patient lies quiet, too weak to move, with possibly pas- sive hemorrhage from the nose, and may be from the bowels also; the body cold, *especially from the feet to the knees, the pulse rapid and thread-like, the breath cold, then this remedy may remove the alarming symptoms, and save some of these desperate cases. (Farr.) Colchicum. The face is hippocratic, the lower jaw drops from extreme exhaustion ; the involuntary stools contain white flakes and shreds; there is spasm of the sphincter and constant urging; the pulse is feeble, the respiration slow; absolute disgust for food, even the sight of it. (Farr.) Croton-tig. Nausea, with faintness and loss of sight; colic better from warm drinks*; the stool returns with every effort to eat or drink, and rushes out as if shot from a hydrant. (Farr.) Cuprum. Intense coldness of the body (camph); blueness of the surface (secale, camph); *the muscles of the calves and thighs cramp into knots; great distress at the epigas- trium; *intense dyspnoea ; he cannot bear even a handkerchief to approach the face [camph has not so much cramping; secale not so much dyspncea). (Farr.) Euph orbia -co rot. Vomiting and purging, with cold sweat all over the body; *the patient wants to die ; (fears to die, ac, ars-alb). (Farr.) Hydrocyanic-ac. Marked and sudden collapse, with cessation of all discharges, vomiting, and diarrhoea; coldness and blueness of the surface; great distress about the heart', irregular gasping respiration. (Suffocation, cupr.) (Farr.) Jatropha-cur. Great prostration simultaneous with vomiting and purging; the vomited matter looks like rice-water or the white of an egg (colch); there is coldness of the body and cramps in the legs. (Farr.) Lachesis. Vomiting renewed by the least motion ; the nausea is attended by a great flow of saliva in the mouth (colch); prostration attends with como ; the abdomen is hot, the extremities cold (colch)'; (colchicum has more tympany, and is not sensitive below the epigastrium). Lach has also very offensive stools, intolerance of the slightest touch, and constant urging, but not to stool, much worse after sleep. (Farr.) Secale. Stools profuse, offensive, watery, and very exhausting (verat-alb); surface cold and blue, but the patient wants to be uncovered (camph); formication and tingling are usually present in secale cases; not so restless as arsenic, nor with the cold sweat of veratrum.

To adequately summarize the action of this great remedy, would transcend the limits to which this review must be restricted. Few, indeed, are the remedies that affect the entire organism to such an extent as arsenious oxide. Not a tissue or organ, not a system or function, escapes its baleful influence. Its action is either rapid or slow, according to the form, and the avenue by which it gains admis- sion to the system, and the natural resistance of the organism to its attacks. In solution taken by the mouth, a half-grain proved well- nigh fatal; while 127 grains in ice water was eventually followed by recovery after several years. With miners of arsenical ores and workers in arsenic in the arts, it is one of the most insidious poisons. But whether rapid or slow, it works with a deadly certainty toward a fatal termination. The law of similars has opened up a vast field of usefulness for all poisons, and the saying "the greater the poison, the greater the remedy," finds literal and broad fulfillment in everyday practice, in the beneficent administration of the most deadly drugs. In none is this more conspicuously shown than in the therapeutic use of arsenic. An irritant poison to every tissue in the body, it at first exalts, then exhausts every functional activity. If the dose be large, the period of exaltation may be elided completely, and irritation and depression follow rapidly the absorption of the toxic dose. But through all manifestations, whether of exaltation or depression, there runs the scarlet thread of intermittence. Periods of relaxation, in which the patient seems on the high road to recovery, follow distressing symp- toms, and are in turn succeeded by states so dangerous as to banish all hopes of life. If not fatal at the time, a period of remission usually succeeds within the next 24 hours. Sooner or later, in case life is prolonged, this 24-hour periodicity becomes more and more apparent; the attacks are often quotidian; occasionally they occur twice in 24 hours; frequently they change to tertian; occasionally to quartian; and rarely to once in seven days. Sometimes they ante- pone; occasionally they postpone; rarely they are irregular. The remission is occasionally slight, generally it is well marked. The periods of distress may appear at any hour of the 24, yet the night is most apt to witness an exacerbation. Extreme heat or extreme cold are alike painful, while warmth is always grateful. Rare, indeed, are the cases benefited by the administration of arsenic in which these peculiarities do not hold true. Each attack is in itself a period of exaltation, of intensification; the pain is intense, the mental manifestations are intense, the pulse is quick, the fever is high, the restlessness, anxiety, o'r anguish, according to the degree, are intense. High, nervous tension in the affected part is present; burning, pricking, stinging, shooting, like ARSENICUM ALB. (CondensedForm). 107 Review Summary. hot needles, burning like coals of fire, are the figures of speech used to describe the pains. Each period of remission is a period of depression, a lowering of all the vital forces, a reaction from the former intense state. If the sickness has continued for some time, the weakness now becomes extreme, often pitiable, and death seems a relief. If the progress has been slow, the attacks less pronounced, the depression is corre- spondingly less, but the whole system shows its suffering in the failure of the powers of nutrition. No other drug possesses in a more marked degree the loss of flesh and the deterioration of the blood, and few are more rapid in their results in this direction than arsenious oxide. Iodium has severe loss of flesh ; arsenicum hydride has more perniciously rapid destruction of the red blood corpuscles; but arsenicum album will seldom be useful in any case where the nutrition is good or assimilation normal. Shrunken, dry-skinned, thin-blooded, with poor digestion, and consequently mal-nutrition, are the typical arsenic cases; and if added to these are erethric man- ifestations, followed by periods of depression and remission, the instances are rare where arsenic will not prove a boon. A careful study of the introductory sections of the Condensed Form will furnish a picture of the drug-action, that should be as clear as it is ineffaceable upon the mind of every practitioner of the law of similars.

It has been claimed for this remedy that it acts only on the left side; but there are well-attested instances given of its action on the right side also. In a series of cases published in the Allg. Horn. Zeit., in 1885, by Dr. Mattes, this drug in the ix trit. is highly recommended in catarrhal pneumonia, especially in children. It is not less useful in adults. Case i. Child, age 4. Extreme dyspnoea, face cyanotic, very rapid pulse and respiration, skin hot and sweating, especially the head, temp. 104, with great thirst. Examination showed both lungs involved, coarse rales, some infiltration at base. Phos, 3d; ant-tart 3d; carbo-veg, 30th, had all tailed in turn. Sttb-arsen, 3X, began to relieve in three hours, and case recovered. Man, 68, left side pleurisy of three weeks; ac and bry failed to give any relief in eight days Under ix stib-ars exudation reduced one half in eight days. Case recovered A case of pericarditis with effusion recovered rapidly under ix stib-ars Other cases of rapid recoveries, with large effusions, are given. [Dyspnoea would seem to be a marked characteristic of all clinical cases.). (Ed.) tThis drug will be found of especial value in catarrhal pneumonia associated with influenza, ranking with phosphorus and tartar-emetic.

Little can be safely affirmed from the present pathogenesis. Hering recom- mends the drug in " scrofulous and tuberculous diseases, with albuminuria." This recommendation seems based on one, or possibly several clinical cases; though there would appear to have been not more than one or two, from his pathogenesis. He seems to have had one case of " complaints of a drunkard after abstaining," which was much benefited by its use. In infantile diarrhoea he also recommends it; probably in scrofulous cases it will do best. Hering also makes much of a clinical case of " phthisis with albuminuria." At best these can only be regarded as hints towards its use. By far the stronger indication would seem to be intertnittence, as in some other forms of arsenical salts. Intermittent toothache, headache, asthmatic attacks, palpitation, neuralgia, indigestion, epileptic attacks, etc., all of which are so strongly insisted on in the clinical and pathogenetic effects, by the authority (Hering), would seem to be stronger indications for the selection of the drug, than its scrofulous action, toward which he was no doubt prejudiced from the union of calcarea with arsenic.

Potency, Dose, and Toxic Effects. (a). HOMCEOPATHIC. There is not much available information concerning the use of this drug in homoeopathy. It should be used in all probability not below the 2x ; lower than this would be apt to produce an aggravation. It seems very likely the 6x, and upward, will be much better than a lower potency. (b). Allopathic. This drug has no " official'' standing in the school. It is recommended in doses of i-zoth to i-4oth of a grain. (c). Toxic. Probably Yz grain would be actively poisonous. 4. Use of the Drug. (a). HOMCEOPATHIC. So far as I can learn, there has been but little use of the drug. This is owing, no doubt, to the lack of a pathogenesis separated from that of arsenicum album. Such an one is here given for the first time. (b). Allopathic. The drug has been furtively employed, to a considerable extent, during the last two or three years. Its chief use has been in cholera infantum, to which the pathogenesis shows it to be especially homoeopathic. Doubtless our friends would have succeeded far better had they used smaller doses. 5. Antidotes. (c). Toxic. Probably the same as those for ars-alb, which see. (The white of eggs, vomiting with oils, or by overfilling the stomach with demulcents, is probably the first step; later on, the stomach-pump; finally, the sesquioxide of iron in dilu- tion with plenty of water. The sesquioxide of iron is the best antidote. To make this, mix 2 or 3 fi. ozs. tinct. per chloride of iron with 1 oz. (dry) sodium carbonate, in solu- tion; the whole diluted with plenty of water, and taken freely.) (Ed.). Cl, Clinical. HI, Hale. Hg, Hering. G, Gentry. "5 n6 ARSENITE OF COPPER (Condensed Form). 6. Sphere of Action. (a). Systems. Nervous Syst.: Depression of all the vital forces, both of mind and body. Intermittent attacks. Respiratory Syst.: Inflammation of the entire mucous tract; mostly sub-acute; also intermittent-acute. Digestive Syst.: Inflammation of the entire mucous tract; acute and severe; or sub-acute and chronic. Urinary Syst.: Irritative; the drug is eliminated by the kidneys. Sexual Syst.: Irritative; the tract is inflamed; the secretions changed. Tissue Systs.: Neuralgias, intermittent attacks. Skin Syst.: Nutrition of skin lessened; or severe inflamma- tory changes set up.

The room was " actively heated " for his comfort. Soon after getting into bed he was seized with a vio- lent chill; when he tried to get out of bed was unable to use his legs ; thereupon he was seized by such a terrific cramping, twisting cblic, followed by such severe sickness (nau sea ?), that he thinks he must have fainted. In the morning while dressing he staggered as one drunk ; but all symptoms " vanished as by magic on coming into the open air." Case 2. A woman of 54 was attacked by constantly recurring neuralgia, while living in arsenical rooms in Vienna. The pain was in nape and shoulders. She recovered com pletely while absent for six months. On returning to the same rooms, a severe fever and neuralgia came on, with nightly attacks lasting until morning, and always ending in a sweat. She recovered as soon as the rooms were freed from arsenical coloring. Case 3. A young woman was ill for 10 weeks with coryza and shortness of breath, attended by a cough ; she also had severe ophthalmia, becoming almost blind ; was very much pros- trated, with trembling of limbs, no appetite, colic, and headache. She soon recovered after being removed from the arsenical rooms. Case 4. Six children were attacked, two at a time, beginning with the younger, with furred tongue, nausea, vomiting, and well-marked icterus, lasting for about two weeks in each case. There was much tenderness at the pit of the stomach. All recovered. Several rooms, the nursery, dining room, and some others, were found to have arsenical paper on the walls. Case 5. A woman of 40, a nurse in a private family, had attacks of quotidian or at times tertiary fever, for a period of two and one half years. No other member of the household was similarly affected. Her sleeping-room was found to be arsenical. She was almost constantly subject to burning at the stomach and to frequent attacks of faintness. Nausea, vomiting, colic, and diarrhoea were present more or less during the whole time. She recovered soon after the paper was removed. Case 6. Four children died in one family (probably a laborer's, living in narrow quarters); on the death of the fourth an inquest was held. The mother and father had both been ail- ing. The walls were covered by arsenical paper. The child had great prostration, entero- colitis, and inflammation of mesentery, with enlargement of the glands; salivation also was present during life, and the mouth was very red. The mother had intermittent headache ; the father was more tired and weak than usual. Case 17. Mrs. C, poisoned by drinking coffee in which paris green had been placed, began to feel sick in about two hours. Burning at the stomach, increasingly severe nausea and vomiting, terrible colic, with very frequent, painful stools. After these had been checked by opium and bismuth, still severe distress in the rectum. After 36 hours, aching in all the limbs, lasting for two days. There was great prostration.

In the arsenite of copper we have a powerful drug, and, there- fore, a potent means for cure, if only we can learn how to employ it. Unfortunately we have not, that best of all means for determining its curative powers, careful and reliable provings. The best we possess are records of poisoning by arsenical rooms, in which the chief, if not the only, toxic factor was the green coloring matter in wall papers or wall decorations. It is safe to consider this paris green, or Scheele's green. Only one case of poisoning by ingestion of the drug has come to hand. Strange to say, that coincides in a large degree with the symptoms arising from arsenical rooms. Those rooms have been most poisonous that have been heated.t This has led some to suppose the active agent in poisoning to be arseniuretted hydrogen. (See 5, Full Form.) It is very doubtful whether this is the case. No such evolution of the gas in question has ever been demonstrated in the laboratory, at least in so far as I have been able to learn. In the second place, the characteristic symp- toms produced by undoubted cases of poisoning from inhaling the hydride, have not been present in cases of poisoning from arsenical rooms. These are dark green, tarry stools, attended by most severe tenesmus; also rapidly developed icterus. These symptoms were not wanting in a single case of poisoning by the hydride, and not present in a single case of toxis from arsenical rooms. Such being the case, the theory may be safely dismissed without further consideration. On the other hand, the symptoms presented by arsenicum album are much more closely typified in the cupric salt. Both have intermit- t" The room was actively heated to render the guest more comfortable." (Case i.) "As soon as damp weather set in and fires became necessary, he complained every Sunday, the only day of the week he spent much of his time in his room, of diarrhoea." (Case 16.) Cl, Clinical. Hi, Hale. Hg, Hering. G, Gentry. ARSENITE OF COPPER (Condensed Form). 131 Review Summary. tence as the main characteristic; both have direct and terrible effect on the digestive tract; both, like also the hydride, powerfully depress the nervous system. The distinction between the oxide and the copper salt seems to lie in the severity of the colic symptoms. In ars-alb the burning is worse than the colic; in the arsenite of copper, the colic is worse than the burning. Both have acrid, excoriating, thin stools, and burning urine; both, great thirst and anorexia; both, nausea and vomiting; both, great anxiety and restlessness; but the twisting, excruciating colic and the distress in the rectum, which are only par- tially allayed by stool, belong pre-eminently to the arsenite. Our allopathic and eclectic friends have of late gone into ecstacies over the value of this remedy in cholera infantum; and well they may, for it is eminently homoeopathic to some of the worst forms of that dis- ease. If they would only learn to differentiate the symptoms by those produced by the drug, and make their doses so small as not to aggravate, they might "cure every case " that was properly selected. It remains to be noted that of poisonings by the internal admin- istration of the drug, only one case has come to hand in which all the symptoms have been carefully noted. In this case, as remarked above, it is very satisfactory to note the similarity of symptoms to those produced by arsenical rooms; this is especially true of the colic and vomiting. From this confirmation alone, we may employ the arsenite with much confidence in cases marked by extreme irritation of the digestive tract, attended by prostration, severe vomiting, colic, and frequent stools, which are thin, excoriating, and burning, and where the relief is but partial from passing stool. Such cases are often alarming from the start, and will find relief from this remedy, if the dose be sufficiently reduced to prevent an aggravation from the drug. Probably it will also be useful in intermittent headaches; inter- mittent neuralgias, especially of the neck and shoulders, and last, but not least, peculiar forms of hay-fever. Attacks of the latter, coming on in the morning at a certain hour, with thin, watery discharge and much irritation of eyes and nostrils, which are benefited by going into the open air, or very hot weather, are sure to be helped by this remedy. ARSENICUM HYDRIDE, (CondensedForm.) (As H3.) (Arseniuretted Hydrogen.) GENERALITIES. ■ . Potencies. There is npthing on record worthy of note regarding the comparative effect of different potencies. 3. Suitability. In 1849, Dr. Drysdale used this drug in cholera, with indifferent success. Dr. Hering thinks this arose from his overlooking the fact, " that notwithstanding its sudden action, it would not correspond to sub-acute ailments, on account of the very slow development of its symptoms. Nearly all persons poisoned, even by small doses, died in the second week." From this not over luminous statement, it may be inferred that the entire drug-picture as represented by appearance and sequence of symptoms, is an important consideration in the selection of a drug. How these are to be gathered from the accepted materia medica remains a mystery. 4. Use of the Drug. Poisonous dose: One half cubic inch of the gas has proven nearly fatal when inhaled 5. Antidotes.t Nux-vom antidoted the daily fever. Drinks containing sulphuretted hydrogen appear to relieve most. (Berzelius.) Turpentine should be tried. (C Hering.) 6. Sphere of Action. Nervous System: It congests the brain, as shown by post-mortem; but there is no paralysis as in ars-alb. Respiratory System: The effects here may result wholly from the changes in the blood. Digestive System: Excessive inflammation of the mucus surface of the stomach, and in a less degree of the intestines; increased secretion of bile, and inflammatory changes of liver and spleen. \Case 2. (Recovery.) Warm drinks seemed to break the severe chill, and were soon followed by vomiting, even before reaction (ist d.). He was very thirsty, and drank much decoction of barley water and mucilaginous drinks, but thirst, vomiting, and colic continued (2d d.). A blister was applied to the epigastrium, and drew blood instead of serum (3d d.). A slight remission occurred on 3d d, still more on 4th d. Sulphate of magnesia was given from the first for the con- stant and distressing eructations, but seemed of no effect." Cold fomentations for headache on 6th d. did not relieve until next morning. Heat and hot fomentations for lumbar pains 8th night seemed to do no good; but the pains were relieved by sitting up, though he was too weak to remain long sitting, and the pains lasted all night and next day. Before this, they had remitted each morning. Convalescence came 10th d, with good appetite and sleep. Case3. (Fatal.) During the very severe chill, mustard pastes, friction, hot bottles, diuretic wine (acetate of ammonia), and purgative enemas (first 12 h.). He became warm in % h, with moisture over the whole body, and a partial remission of symptoms. Later, the reaction seeming severe, he was bled 500 grms. The relief which almost immediately followed was only temporary (ist d.). With a second reaction, abundant drink, of which little could be retained, enemas, bath, from which slight remission occurred. But he again grew worse, urine suppressed, and died 5th d.

Urinary System: Excessive inflammation of the kidneys; urine bloody, or pure blood. Tissue System : Early and extensive destruction of the red-blood corpuscles, and consequent pigmentation of all the tissues. Some slight rheumatic changes. Skin System: Early and marked discoloration of the skin; itching and urticaria during severe bilious symptoms. Diseases: Recommended in yellow fever. (Hering.). 7. Characteristic Action. Nervous System: Great weakness and trembling, anxiety and anguish; severe pains in head, back, and to some extent in extremities; chill very severe, fever and sweat moderate; sleepless at height of attack; drowsy, lethargic. Respiratory System : Dyspnoea and constriction of chest; lungs permeable to air; degeneration of muscular tissue of heart. Digestive System: Uncontrollable vomiting and nausea; severe colic in stomach and bowels; excessive secretion of bile; tenderness of liver and spleen; bilious stools; excessive thirst. Urinary System: Inexpressible pain in region of kidneys; urine bloody, or of pure blood. Tissue System: Early and rapid blood changes; icteric discol- oration of skin. 8. Key Notes. ***(V.)

There is little in the symptomatology of arseniuretted hydrogen, or as it might better be called for the sake of uniformity, Arsenicum hydride, to commend it to common use. It is a drug of unstable composition, and this fact alone should have shut it out of consideration as a remedy. Farther than this, the method of preparing and administering the drug in the proving and toxic cases, is essentially different from that proposed for its administration to the sick. In provings, as also in the toxic reports, the drug was inhaled; in its administration to the sick, it has been proposed to make a solution of the gas in cold water, and administer it by the stomach. Such a course is always open to grave doubts. Nevertheless it is a drug of strong and peculiar symptoms, and in the rapidity with which it attacks and destroys the red-blood corpuscles it has few rivals, and no peer. Ferrum, helliborus, cocculus, phosphorus, and cinchona are essentially slow acting. Arsenicum hydride is astonishingly rapid. It is to be thought of only in the most virulent diseases, and among these prob- ably none more closely approaches it than yellow fever, as suggested by Dr. Her- ing. This is a disease restricted in its range. To those, however, who are likely to be called to treat yellow fever, this drug should be of interest. Possibly in cases of so-called pernicious anaemia, it may merit consideration. If it were possible to prepare it freshly, and to administer it in safe doses, diluted with common air, by inhalation, it might become valuable. ARSENICUM IODIDE. (Condensed Form.) Asl3. Synonyms. Arsenicum iodatum ; iodide of arsenic. GENERALITIES. i. Potencies. Thus far this drug seems to have been but little used. The fact that active symptoms were induced in all cases by the ix or the 2x trit, would seem to point to the 6x and upward as a strong enough form for therapeutic use. In closely similar cases, it would be better to use the 30X and upward before trying the lower forms. (b). Allopathic dose is i-2oth grain after meals, gradually increased ; Nat. Dis. i-8th grain in pill or sol. after meals ; U. S. P. (Ars-iod.) (c). Poisonous doses. In the absence of positive experiments, it would seem that from a half-grain upward would prove a dangerous dose. 2. Alternates, &c. Useful after sul. in phthisis pulmonalis. (Hg.). Useful after coniunt in indurations of breast. (Hg.). 3. Suitability. From case 3, included in the list of provers, it would seem that blonde and full-figured women were especially susceptible; this will have to be determined by future use, and on a wider scale. Strumous or psoric diathesis. (Hg.). Phthisis after hemorrhage. (Hg.). In lowered pulse in phthisis. (Hg.). 4. Use of the Drug. (a). Homoeopathic. Probably some cases have been reported of the homoeopathic use of the drug ; none have been met by the Editor. In allopathic practice it has had its "fashionable day" and been discarded for later and less tried drugs, as is the custom. 5. Antidotes. Bryonia for pyrosis. To toxic doses, ferreous oxide. See ars-alb. 6. Sphere of Action. (a). Systems. Nervous.—Depression. Respiratory.—Coryza. Digestive.—Indigestion, loose stools, constipation. Urinary.—Involuntary urine. Sexual.—Perverted functions. Tissue.—Perverted nutrition, emaciation. Skin.—Slight rash and itching. (b). Tissues and Organs. The mucous membranes, especially of the frontal and malar sinuses; of the bowels, and probably of the liver and gall-bladder; of the eyes, very slightly; of the female genital tract very severely.

The drug is indicated by profound prostration, rapid and irritable pulse, recur- ring fever and sweats, emaciation, and a tendency to diarrhoea, etc. (Al.)

The headings which precede the Condensed Symptoms indicate the principal features of the drug so clearly, that little remains to be said in this connection. The peculiar stool was so strongly marked in each of the provers, and so emphasized in the toxic, that it may be accepted for the present as the most unique feature of the drug. But it is still more peculiar, in that no other drug has the same stool in all respects. Leptandrum has a very similar stool under some cir- cumstances, but for the most part it is inclined to be thinner, and even watery; and has none of the constant tenesmus so characteristic of ars-iod. The mental characteristics are widely different from the typical ars-alb. In fact they are at the opposite extreme in several respects. Instead of anxiety and restlessness, we have sluggishness and dullness; for fear of death, we have expec- tation of recovery; if there be any restlessness in the iodide, it is from the over- powering sense of pain, not mental anxiety. In the case of relief from motion of the neuralgic pains, the iodide is more marked than ars-alb. Although great irritability has been attributed to this remedy by some authors, the study of the pathogeneses does not disclose this trait in the provers. Again, the lack of ars-alb anxiety is shown by the continued taking of the drug, in every case, even after symptoms of much severity had been evolved. fFor anaemia and depressed tissue nutrition, iodes of arsenic and of iron and ferrum phos. will be found beneficial.

With such an imperfect record as we now have, little can be said of value regarding the use of Fowler's solution. The nervous system is strongly affected by it, as is witnessed by the general prostration and paralytic weakness seen in so many cases. In this it is very like ars-alb, having the characteristic paralysis of the hands and feet extending upward, but with less pain of a neuralgic character than in the oxide, if the present indications are correct. The tremors of this solution are well marked and characteristic. It naturally follows that the drug is most useful in chorea ; in the trembling of drunkards it is surpassed by few, if any, other remedies. The respiratory system is markedly affected, respiration much less than in ars- alb, circulation much more. It is on the peripheral vessels rather than the central organs, that this solution has the strongest effect, as is shown by the anasarcous conditions that have repeatedly been suddenly developed under its extended use. The heart and respiration seem much more embarrassed from mechanical interfer- ence, than through enervation, or direct action upon the muscular tissue. The anasarca is apt to be attended with albuminuria and pale tube-casts; and the urine may be more abundant, or less than usual. In the cases where the urine has been reported as normal, it may be questioned whether the requisite care was exercised to determine the existing state. The digestive system is depressed and rendered irritable, even under small doses of the solution. There would seem to be less burning and acute irritation of the highest inflammatory character, but more atonic manifestations than in the oxide. The food causes distress, which may be periodical or continuous, according to the degree of the drug-effect. The bowels are relaxed, and in chronic cases, very irritable diarrhceic stools are present. The sexual system is affected, but as yet in too vague a manner to guide to an intelligent use of this remedy. On the tissues in general there is characteristic action, as already mentioned under respiration. The cause of this may lie in the altered state of the blood, in some change in the walls of the blood-vessels themselves, or in the vaso-motor con trol. It is more than likely that two of these effects result from its use, if indeed all three be not present. In diseases of the skin it has long been held in high repute. This was the primary use of the solution; still it is difficult to see in what respect it surpasses the oxide, either in convenience of dosage or beneficial effects. Finally, what is most needed to render the drug efficacious within its just limits, is a careful and thorough proving under modern methods of expert scientific observatio 1, 2, etc., Bcenninghausen's ranking.

Sources of Symptoms. The symptoms are derived from Hering, and from the 3d vol. of Allen's Encyc, p. 214. Hering gives five provers : Trites, 2d dec. trit. (2x-a); Sturges, ist dec. trit. (ix); LeRoy, 6th dec. trit. (6x); Knerr, 30th cent. (30c); Furness, 2d dec. trit. (2x-b). These were all adult men, and the provings were observed by physicians, two of the provers themselves being physicians. The clinical symptoms were gleaned from various sources, which it is of no use to quote, scattered as they are through English and German magazines. The following is a summary of cured diseases: intermittent hemicrania; headache; occipito-cervico neuralgia ; rheumatic headache ; scrofulous ophthalmia and keratitis superficialis ; malignant angina in scarlatina ; diphtheria, numerous cases ; intermit- ting diarrhoea ; intermittent suffocative attacks, in a case of tuberculosis ; epileptiform spasms, in a case of chronic masturbation and alcoholisimus, of 9 years' standing; and intermittent fever.

The salts of quinine and arsenic should be very efficient drugs in view of their origin. The present provings are far too meager to predicate any great amount of usefulness. Most of the cures wrought by it seem to have a very marked inter- mittence. This quality would be expected in a drug with such antecedents, and in this particular we are not disappointed. Intermittent headache, fever, neuralgia, convulsions, asthmatic attacks, and a malignant destruction of the tissues of the throat, seem to be where the best cures have thus far been made. In the last class of cases, where septic infection is threatening, or has even begun, it should prove a powerful help in warding off impending calamity. At present the above symptoms seem to be the " key notes " of the remedy. AL, Allen. Hg., Hering. N., Neidhard. J., Johnson. I,., Lippe. G., Gentry. Cl., Clinical. ARSENATE i. Potencies, Dose, Etc. Homoeopathic. But few cases of the employment of this drug have fallen under my observation. It is to be had in trituration, in the usual potencies. One tenth grain tablets have, in my own practice, been followed by good results, though aggravation has been present from this dose in at least one case. Allopathic. " The arsenate of sodium is said to be less apt than the arsenate of potassium to cause the phenomena of arsenical poisoning, whether locally upon the stomach, or through the blood upon the eyelids, conjunctivse, etc. It might be suspected that the difference, if real, would indicate that it is less efficient. The fact is, however, declared to be other- wise. This preparation is seldom used, and then in the officinal solution The dose of arsenate of sodium is from one eighth to one twentieth of a grain." (Nat. Disp.) "In medical properties this salt agrees with other preparations of arsenic, and may be employed for the same purposes. The dose of the crystallized salt is stated at one twelfth to one third of a grain: generally in solution. Pearson's arsenical solution contains one grain to the fluid ounce of water, and is considerably used on the conti- nent of Europe in the form of a bath, in nodose rheumatism, or rheumatic gout; it is used alone in acute, and combined with the carbonate of sodium in chronic forms of this disease. Haifa drachm to two or three drachms is recommended, beginning with the smaller quantity." U. S. D., 1889. 3. Suitability. Diseases of the mucous membranes principally; nervous tissues are next in line of attack ; the changes are principally sub-acute or chronic. 5. Antidotes. (See ars-alb.) 6. Sphere of Action. The nervous system. The eyes. The respiratory system. The digestive system. The skin. The mucous membranes throughout the entire body, but least of all the urinary system; also affects the nervous system. Diseases to which it is Suitable. Neuralgias, especially sciatica. 0 F SO DI U M. (Condensed Form). (Na2 HAsOr) (Arsenate of Soda.) GENERALITIES. K., Korndoerfer. G., Gentry, 166 ARSENATE OF SODIUM (Condensed Form). 167 6.

Upon the nervous system, arsenate of soda has a marked action, shown in the production of headache, malaise, and general prostra- tion, being in marked contrast with that produced by ars-alb. It is entirely devoid of restlessness (except in one case, which may be regarded as doubtful). In all other cases it is characterized by a desire to remain quiet in some attitude of comfortable repose. The pains in the head are for the most part dull, or occasionally sharp, located in the front of the head, and associated with eye troubles, or with coryza. They are usually worse in the morning on rising, but may continue during the day; at night they are apt to dis- appear entirely. Hence, it is not unusual for a bad day to follow a good night's sleep; occasionally there is a restless night, but this is not the rule. When the night is restless, the lack of quiet is more often to be traced to disturbing dreams than to nervous or feverish excitement. There seems to be very slight febrile movement. But few provers experienced chilly sensations, and these were only slight. Heat also was not marked except in a few cases, and even in these there seemed to be no rise of temperature, but rather a depression, even while the skin felt dry and hot. No cases of sweating while taking the drug are recorded. The pulse was quickened only in one or two provers, and even in these it does not seem to have been a persistent symptom. The drug seems to have a marked neuralgic effect, and produces some pretty sharp sciatic attacks. These are for the most part dull pains, though in some cases they were shootings; in all cases the pains had the outward or peripheral direction. One case perhaps should be noticed as peculiar, the pains extending from the lumbar region to the shoulders and down the arms. The fexor surfaces seem to K., Korndoerfer. G., Gentry. 178 ARSENATE OF SODIUM (CondensedForm). Review Summary. have been almost universally affected both in the upper and lower limbs. The absence of nightly aggravations, of uneasy, restless move- ments, of fearful apprehensions (except in one case), of aggravation from heat, and amelioration from warmth, are all in strong contrast with the characteristics of ars-alb.; nevertheless it has seemed good to some writers to commingle the symptoms of the two drugs. The effect of this drug upon the eyes is very marked, and at the same time characteristic. The eyes were affected in eight provers out of nine. All of the cases had conjunctivitis; in two thirds of these the lids and orbital region were more or less swollen. Only one third of these suffered from burning in the eyes, and in these cases it was not of especially marked continuance. Photophobia was present in about half of the cases. Abundant lachrymation in about the same proportion. A like proportion were worse in the morning, and from sunlight. Vision was indistinct in one third, and aggravation from opening the eyes widely in a similar proportion. We also find stiffness of the lids a prominent characteristic. Agglutination was present in a number of cases, but what strikes us strongly, is the fact that the eyes for the most part look worse than they feel, or worse in proportion. Coryza accompanies many cases, but is not persistent in all, by any means. Many cases of eye troubles are at some stage accompanied by abdominal symptoms; in other cases, by no other symptoms at all. The drug would seem especially adapted to puffy sore eyes, not marked by great painfulness, but weak, easily tired, readily irritated by use, sore to the touch, worse in the morning. Chronic cases of this description will doubtless be much benefited. Without doubt the most useful sphere of arsenate of soda will be found in its ability to control coryza of a certain type. This is marked in the beginning by more or less malaise and systemic prostration, chilliness, aching in all the limbs, and dullness of the mental facul- ties. There is more or less sneezing and watery discharge from the nose, the eyes look red and swollen; appetite is not markedly inter- fered with in the beginning, and the nights are dull and stupid, or filled with fearful, frightening, quarrelsome dreams. As the attack progresses, the posterior nares become swollen, the pharynx is involved, becoming dark red, cedematous, pitted, and covered with a most tenacious, thick mucus, very difficult to dis- lodge, causing gagging and an effort to vomit when trying to expel it. The appearance of the throat is distressing, but the discomfort is far from being severe; there is little or no pain on swallowing, and except for the dry feeling on waking, but little annoyance in any way from this source; in short, it looks worse than it feels. From the nostrils is blown thick, yellowish mucus, while from the throat the discharge may be yellowish or greyish, but at all stages *non-acridity of the discharge is a strongly marked character- *Dr. Korndoerfer makes special note of acridity in coryza. I have no doubt that it will be useful in some cases of this sort, as " sore, indurated nostrils," " raw- ness of mucous membrane," etc., are once or twice mentioned; but a careful study of the FULL Form, under the 19th section, will be very instructive on this point. ARSENATE OF SODIUM (CondensedForm). Review Summary. istic. The larynx and trachea may become involved in the farther advance of the attack, and a cough, for the most part dry and titil- lating, ensues; with the cough may come soreness and stitching in the chest walls, and even in extreme cases apparently some pleuritic inflammation. As the attack subsides, it leaves the patient subject to the liabil- ity to take cold on every exposure, and the whole system in a depressed condition. Upon the digestive tract, the influence of the drug was very marked in quite a number of instances, though to a less degree than in the respiratory sphere and upon the eyes. The appetite was quite often increased, or better while taking the drug, than when it had been left off for a few days. About one half the provers had an occasional day when the appetite was wanting, and the same was true of thirst, though when present it was generally excessive. As a rule water disagrees with the stomach, and breakfast is wanted least of any meal. A number of the provers suffered from nausea, but this only rarely reached the pitch of vomiting. There was tenderness of the epigastrium, on pressure, in a num- ber of instances, and in a few sourness and burning; but this very constant symptom of ars-alb. was practically wanting in the arsenate of soda. Considerable colic pain of varying character was experienced by the majority of provers. In most cases the pains were dull and shift- ing, though they were also, in the same prover at different times, sharp and pinching. More or less fullness and rumbling was experi- enced at the time of the pains, and they were universally relieved by passage of flatus or stool. The latter was generally copious and soft; often acrid, causing burning of the anus; in this respect resembling ars-alb., though always less watery and thin than the discharges of that drug. In cases of several provers, there was alternate diarrhoea, or free stools, and constipation. In some cases of pain and rumbling of the bowels, relieved by passing flatus, there was at the same time retarded stools. Severe constipation followed as a chronic state, in the poisoning case, the stool consisting of whitish balls, becoming reddish in the air. On the whole, the digestive disturbance is one of sub-acute intestinal catarrh, with lower vital energy, with the characteristic relief from flatus or stool, rather lessened or variable appetite, irreg- ular and copious stool, alternating with torpid bowels and headache. This state is more often met in chronic intestinal catarrh than in acute cases. And it is worthy of note that when, during the prov- ing, the drug was expending its force upon the digestive system, it rarely made itself felt upon the respiratory system, and vice versa. The curative sphere of this drug is only imperfectly developed, since it does not seem to have come into very general use. Clinical confirmations, a more general use, and a more careful study by the profession, will doubtless not only prove it a most useful remedy in 180 ARSENATE OF SODIUM (Condensed Form) Review Summary. the instances indicated, but also widen its sphere by clinical cures of symptoms not brought out in the provings. Regarding the dose, I have not been able to collect data, except from my own practice, and the use of the drug has been confined to a single season only. Nevertheless the use in incipient coryza has been very satisfactory; while in the more advanced stages of the mild, non-acrid variety, it has been of more use than puis., viercur., or indeed any remedy with which I am acquainted. I began with tablets of one tenth grain dissolved in 3 or 4 ozs. of water, but in a short time I found that one of these tablets dissolved in half a glass of water, a teaspoonful every 2 h., was very likely to produce an aggravation. Even one tablet of one one-hundredth of a grain, in half a glass of water, teaspoonful doses, is sometimes capable of pro- ducing aggravation of symptoms, if repeated every hour. But in case this occurs, a cessation of three or four hours, and longer interval between the doses, will give very satisfactory results. Clinical cases have also led me to believe the action of the drug is long continued, say for several days to several weeks. This much might be deduced from the pathogenesies, since in several instances symptoms remained after two years. While differing in many points, still on the whole the drug most often suggested by the pathogenesies is pulsatilla. Arsenate of soda has more physical prostration and nervous exhaustion, with less mental depression, than pulsatilla ; the pains are more constant, the discharges equally non-corrosive. It does not lead to hysteria, which is always characterized by a craving for sym- pathy, but prefers to be left alone, and is taciturn. ARSENICUM SULFURATUM FLAVUM. (Cond. Form.) Synonyms.—Orpiment.

I do not find any authority for its use in the old school. 8. Authorities. Several cases occur in Hahnemann included in the symptoms of ars-alb. They are, accord- ing to Hughes and Dudgeon's annotations, as follows : Forestus, one case ; Majault, one case ; Gerbitz, and Loew. Allen gives seven authorities, to wit: " I_hr." in Hahn., Forestus, Loew, Gerbezius, Van Swieten, Welper, Heuke. Hering says, "Hahnemann gives a proving by Langhammer" (probably the "Lhr." above), and then speaks of Allen's authorities. SYMPTOMATOLOGY. NERVOUS SYSTEM. 12. Mind and Intellect.

With such scant knowledge as we now possess, it is doubtful whether orpiment deserves a place in our Materia Medica. That it is a remedy with a "personality," can hardly be doubted, from the glimpses we have; but these hints are far too vague to give even an outline of its value. Aside from a careful proving, the next best thing is an equally careful noting of results where employed, and a confirming or rejection of symptoms now given on the strength of such tests. ARSENICUM SULFURATUM RUBRUM. (Cond. Form.) Realgar. (Dana.) (As2 S2.) Synonyms.—Realgar ; arsenic sulfide. (Atfield, Dana.) Arsenic disulfide. (Atfield.) Sandrach. (Dana, Atfield.) Red native sulfide of arsenic. (Dana.) Red sulfide of arsenic. Red sulfuret of arsenic. Realgar is found native in mineral veins, associated with orpiment and native arsenic (metallic), in many parts of Europe, and in various other countries, including especially Chili and Califor- nia. It is not wholly stable on exposure to the air, but is liable to change to a mixture of orpiment. arsenious oxide, and realgar. (AS2 S2, plus O = AS2 S3 plus AS2 O3.) It cannot therefore be considered a thoroughly reliable drug. In homoeopathic use, trituritions have been employed. It is not in use in the old school. Doses of 1-50 (one fiftieth) of a grain three times a day, in tablet form, are well borne. Probably Yz grain doses would be toxic. S. Sources of Authorities. Under arsenicum album, Allen gives as toxic from Realgar, Nos. 32, 47, 75, and under arsenicum sulfuratum rubrum, a few symptoms of the " poisonous effects from cases cited by Wibmer." Hering gives as authorities, " Dr. Neidhard and his class in 1852, also Patrick McHamara, Raymond, Howard, Preston, and others." Of course it is impossible to trace the sources or associations of symptoms. SYMPTOMATOLOGY. NERVOUS SYSTEM. 9. Facies. (Appearance.)

Perkins, age 35, never had a day's sickness; took in ice water this amount, supposing it to be potass-bitartrate. It was mixed with a little sugar and tinct. gentian comp., and taken on an empty stomach; symptoms began in 25 minutes. Think- ing he had an attack of cholera, he took 40 grs. calomel. After 15 hours he suspected he had taken arsenic, and took peroxide of iron. After some days the main symptoms became severe neuralgic pains, for which he took opiates. For 18 mos. he averaged 36 to 38 grs. daily ; symp- toms are reported up to the end of 4 years and 9 mos. iC. D. P., pp. 432-3.) Toxic t2; powdered arsenic: A man reduced a large quantity of arseuic to powder, taking the usual precautions to protect his face. He worked two days ; symptoms began on 2d day, lasting about two weeks. (C. D. P., pp. 439-40.)

Toxic 18; arsenic in skin disease: A man, age 42, " took arsenical preparations" in increasing doses every year for 2 or 3 months, since his 27th year. Sometimes he repeated the course 2 or 3 times a year. It was for general psoriasis. " He could take 5 centigrammes daily for several weeks without disagreeable effects." (C. D. P., pp. 435-6.) Toxic iq ; arsenic for skin disease: A man, 35, took arsenic in pills, and afterwards Fowler's solution, for a long time, for psoriasis. It produced peculiar symptoms. (C. D. P., p. 436.)

He stopped the drug, and rapidly improved. Subsequently he lived unwittingly in arsenical rooms, and growing worse took arsenic, only to grow still worse ; the medicine was stopped, he was given antimonium tart, internally, and rubbed with oil. He returned to his arsenical rooms and grew much worse, when their nature was discovered. He eventually died at end of about 254 years. (C. D. P.. pp. 43S-9.)

General Statements of Authors. Intermittence is a very important point in the phenomena of arsenical poisoning. (Devergie, Christison, Taylor, and many others. C. D. P., p. 426.) Pereira. A slight increase of appetite (not always present); very shortly after, a sensation 0/ heat in the throat, oesophagus, and stomach; occasionally nausea, seldom vomiting; and in a few cases, & febrile condition, with dryness of the skin, increased urine, relaxed bowels, sometimes with griping, and usually great languor and inaptitude for employment; sleeplessness is also present; with, or following these symptoms, are redness of the eyes, and pricking of the ophthalmic tarsi, and certain swellings of the face. Nothnagel & Rossbach. Small, single, or seldom doses give rise in varying degree to warmth in stomach and increased appetite ; while the functions of brain, heart, and respiration are more energetically performed, also the functions of excretion and the genital functions. Even small doses long continued, cause constriction and dryness of the throat, and dryness of the mucous membranes generally ; there soon follows pain in the region of the stomach, nausea, and vomiting, purging, headache, fever, and sleeplessness. Philipps. Medicinal doses long continued will induce in some dyspnoea, allied to emphysema or asthma, a dry cough, or hawking of mucus ; (this I have often verified). Erichsen. Arsenic is badly borne by highly sanguine or sanguineous-nervous people. The pulse is quickened from 10 to 30 beats per minute; it becomes hard and wiry; sometimes before this, but usually afterwards, loss of appetite, weight in the epigas- trium, and changed tongue are present; about the same time eye troubles appear; headache and horrible dreams, appear earlier or later; chronic eczema is often made worse by the use of ars. Hunt. Prickling of the tarsi of the lids, in about 49 out of 50 cases, precedes the graver symptoms, such as gastritis, colicky pains, and vomiting; more rarely tenderness of the soles or of the palms is the first symptom; conjunctivitis is also a sec- ondary symptom, and may return; and the skin, where protected from the light and air, becomes a dingy, dirty brown. Large doses may render delicate subjects intolerant of the drug for years. SPECIAL SENSES. 17. Eyes in General. Eyes and Vision.
