'NEW-YORK : JOHN F. TROW AND CO., PRINTERS, 33 ANN-STREET, TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. This little work is a valuable addition to the English por- tion of the Homoeopathic Literature. By means of the indi- cations furnished invthe subsequent pages, the treatment and cure of Intermittent Fevers have almost been reduced to a mathematical rule. Hahnemann refers to this little volume in his work on Chronic Diseases. To the remedies contained iu this pamphlet, I have added the following : Muriate of Ammo- nia, Menyanthes, Lachesis, Aranea and Taraxacum; all of these remedies have been successfully employed against Inter- mittent Fevers. I have also introduced a new arrangement in the second part of the work, by means of which the periods of the day, when the exhibition of the drug is most convenient as regards time, can be ascertained at a glance. Believing that this little volume may be used to great advantage, I take the liberty of recommending it to the kind notice of the public. The author, in his preface, explains how this pamphlet is to be used. It may be proper to illustrate his remarks by a case. I shall take the last which occurred in my own practice. The patient was a lady of thirty years. She had been laid up with bilious intermittent fever for about four months, including several relapses, having swallowed quantities of Calomel and Quinine. The type of the fever had been suppressed, but she felt an aching and drawing in her bones, great internal heat, had a good deal of thirst, felt weary, giddy, weak ; was unable to do any thing ; had no good night's rest, no appetite, etc. On an afternoon she was suddenly attacked with vertigo and chills, and had to go to bed. The fever broke out again in all its fury. Yomiting came on. The rending and drawing in the bones was horrid. The patient stated that she had fire in her head and veins. Great oppression of the chest; anguish. Eyes burning and blood-shot. Constant vomiting, excessive thirst. A cold, exhausting, viscid sweat came on in two or three hours. The rending in the bones being so intolerable, I gave her Lachesis during the paroxysm ; this relieved the pain at once. Shortly after the attack I gave her Arsenic, 4 TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. and the fever not only never returned, but her health steadily improved until it was perfect. To discover the remedy which was applicable in this case, we would proceed in the following manner : First, we consult Chapter III. for the purpose of discovering the remedies which are there indicated by the symptoms of our case. We find a variety of remedies producing chills, both external and internal. Under internal heat we find a smaller number. The remedies which are noted both under the head of chilliness and that of internal heat, are: Anac. Ars. Calc. Carb. v. Helleb. Kali. Nux v. Phosph. Phosph. ac. Puis. Sab. Stann. Sulph. Verat. Among these remedies we now have to find those that bring on the paroxysm in the afternoon ; they are : Ars. Nux v. Phosph. Phosph. ac. Puis. Stann. Sulph. Verat. By comparing Chapter IV. we shall find that among these remedies Ars. Nux v. Phosph. Phosph. ac. and Stann. are the only ones which produce a viscous, cold, and exhaust- ing sweat. Which among these remedies are characterized by thirst during the heat? Ars. Nux v. and Phosph. Which of these produces vomiting? Ars. Which the rending pain in the bones ? Ars.—Ars. was therefore the remedy in the present case. By reading over the symptoms of Arsenic in the first Chapter, we shall find all the symptoms of the present case enumerated in that paragraph. Charles Julius Hempel, M. D, New- York, July, 1845. • AUlHOR'S PREFACE. If the homoeopathic principle be founded in nature, its ap- plication ought to extend also to the treatment of the different forms of fever and ague. The fever, together with all its accom- panying symptoms, does, indeed, often disappear as by magic after the smallest dose of the appropriate homoeopathic remedy. It disappears without ever returning. This favorable result, which is usually obtained by all ex- perienced and intelligent homoeopathic practitioners, proves that .the same principle which obtains in the treatment of other diseases, is equally necessary and successful in regard to inter*. mittent fevers. However, an indispensable condition of success is, that the whole form of the disease should be carefully and correctly observed, and that the remedy should be chosen in conformity to the totality of the symptoms.* If the small homoeopathic doses which are, moreover, but rarely exhibited, were to be used as palliatives, they would not produce any effect; although they are quite sufficient to the cure of any disease, provided the disease is at all curable, and the remedy is strictly homoeopathic. This shows why the adherents of the new school should be deprived of the unenviable advan- tage enjoyed by Alloeopathists, of being able to suppress the periodical type,\ ofien, however, only for a short time, by means of large doses of Peruvian bark, and to impress the * The folly of seeking an universal panacea for all diseases has often been laughed at. But is it less foolish to suppose that there may be found a common remedy for all sorts of intermittent fevers, especially now, when people are so much more enlightened than they were in the age of the philosopher's stone?—The venerable author of Homoeopathy wrote to me, some time ago: "The gentlemen would like to lessen their trouble by contriving an universal antipy- retic, which shall cure every form of intermittent fever. This, how- ever, shows that they are not aware of the necessity of those modes of individualizing disease, which are adopted in the homoeopathic practice." f Even the common man is acquainted with this effect of bark. This may be the reason why this drug is not only sold by apotheca- • 6 AUTHOR'S PREFACE. short-sighted patient with a belief as if the whole of the disease were cured, since its most prominent symptom has been vio- lently suppressed. The homoeopathic practitioner needs not to dread a palliating suppression of the fever, or a so-called metastasis, by means of which the internal disease is hushed for a time, or its external form only modified ; still less needs he to dread a complication of the old disease with the effects of large db'ses of a powerful drug, such as is apt to take place in consequence of the excessive use of bark or quinine in chronic (psoric) intermittent fevers—which most fevers are *— and forms a malady which is as inveterate as it is difficult to heal. However, experience shows that the cure of any form of intermittent fever, by homoeopathic agents, is not an easy task. Many patients, even, have seen fit to resume the large doses of bark, which may be most certainly relied upon for obtaining an apparent triumph over the fever. To obviate results like these I have deemed it advisable to publish the present treatise, ^vhich not only contains Hartmann's remarks, found in his Doc- trine of Acute Diseases, p. 157 etc., and those of Hartlaud in the Annals v. III. p. 375 etc., but also my own pretty extensive ex- perience, the materials being arranged in such a manner as will make the business of consulting and comparing an easy matter. Treatises, like the present one, might be written on various other forms of disease. Such treatises would be useful to the beginning practitioner, and might be progressively enriched with the constantly accumulating treasures of experience. I beg to offer the present treatise as an illustration of the mode in which such treatises generally should be constructed. It is well known that the most striking characteristic of in- termittent fevers is a series of attacks of chills, and heat and sweat, these various symptoms either succeeding each other, or appearing simultaneously, or else alternating in various ways. These symptoms, which ought to be regarded as one, are ries, but also by confectioners, as an infallible panacea against every kino1 of intermittent fever, or why whole ounces of the Semen San- tocini, which they pretend to be a harmless drug, are sold against the worms supposed to be lodged in the intestines. * " These fevers," writes Hahnemann in the above-mentioned letter, "I believe to be chronic diseases composed of a series of acute attacks, essentially differing from each other in the different epidemics, and, therefore, requiring different remedies." AUTHOR'S PREFACE. 7 generally so prominent, that all the other accompanying symp- toms are either left out of consideration, or else, are so much obscured, as it were, by the former, that they are either deemed unworthy of note, or are summed up in the vague denomina- tion of an intermittent fever in disguise. But, next to the char- acter of the fever-paroxysm itself) it is precisely those accom- panying or secondary symptoms which ought to decide the selection of a remedy. This is so true, that a drug which has been chosen in accordance with the totality of the symptoms, as observed during the apyrexia, effects a certain cure of the fever, although it may never before have been employed for that purpose. In the selection of the drug, the moral symptoms of the patient ought, of course, to be strictly considered. Ex- v v •, perience has abundantly shown that the safest indication of a 1 l^y' remedy is the totality of the symptoms existing during the J apyrexia ; these ought to be considered exclusively, and even , in contradiction to the symptoms of the paroxysm, until a drug shall have been discovered, in the course of our provings in-* stituted upon healthy men, which shall correspond to both those ! orders of symptoms. It is such remedies as these alone which ■> will speedily effect a certain and permanent cure. Several of the remedies which will be found indicated here- after, exhibit a striking analogy of symptoms. This analogy may be looked upon as a thread which unites them into one family in spite of their differences. This analogy is found in the accessory symptoms as well as in the symptoms of the paroxysm. Experience teaches that this analogy is extremely important in the selection of a remedy. This analogy may guide the physician in the selection of a remedy, especially for those cases of intermittent fever which have been but imper- fectly described to him by patients living at a distance. When intermittent fevers assume an epidemic characters as is often the case, it will be generally found that their char- - acteristic symptoms will all appear in a shorter or lesser space | of time, which will then indicate one or more remedies for the / speedy and permanent cure of the disease. The various symp- \ toms which appear in different patients, may all be grouped together, and this group will indicate the remedy which will be homoeopathic in the case. The symptoms of the disease having been carefully investi- gated and taken down, I should then advise to proceed in the fol- lowing manner for the purpose of finding out the proper remedy : First, look in chapter III. of this treatise for those drugs which possess the power of producing a similar disease. By comparing chapters II., IV., and V. with each other, the number of those g AUTHOR'S PREFACE. drugs will become considerably less, and it will then be easy to select the appropriate drug by consulting chapter I. In insti- tuting these comparisons, all the other characteristics which the drugs may possess, should be constantly taken into con- sideration. Of these characteristics only the moral symptoms, together with a few more general symptoms occurring during the apyrexia, and contained in chapter VI., have been indicated in chapter VII. In this way the previous selection will either be confirmed, or else ultimately decided. With rare exceptions the remedy will thus certainly be found. The patient ought to take the medicine immediately after the attack, as soon as he has a little recovered from it. It is not advisable to give the remedy before the attack, especially when the fever is violent and the remedy perfectly homoeopa- * thic. Every physician may be supposed to be acquainted with this fact, as well as with a few other rules and precautions relative to this subject, in regard to which the 232d, and the subsequent paragraphs of the Organon (fourth edition), and Hahnemann's prefatory note on the repetition of doses, page 23 of my Repertory of the Antipsoric Remedies, furnish a suffi- cient amount of information. Practitioners ought not to look upon the list of remedies, contained in this treatise, as the complete number of the reme- dies which may be used against intermittent fevers. The remedies here indicated, are those which are most convenient and have been confirmed by experience. I ought also to ob- serve, that this treatise was not the place to speak about the psoric miasm called into action by chronic intermittent fevers. The thorough cure of this miasm is so much more difficult as the organism had been assailed by alloeopathic drugs. My in- tention has simply been to facilitate the selection of a remedy in any given case of intermittent fever. To this paramount object I have sacrificed the desire of making some more general remarks, and especially of treating more extensively of those drugs, the specific action of which, in regard to intermittent fevers, has not yet been fully confirmed by experience. For the same reason, I can only state here, in general terms, that Am., Ars., Bellad., Calc, Caps., Carb. veg., Cina., Terr., Ipecac, Merc, Natrummur., Puis., Sep., Sulph. and Veratr., have been found most useful in intermittent fevers, consequent upon the abuse of Cinchona. Other remedies, however, \yhich, in unusual cases, may perhaps correspond more fullWTc- the totality of the symptoms, should not be excluded. / C. V. BCENN1NGHAUSEN.

The needful dietetic observances during Homoeopathic treatment, are comprehended under the following general rule, viz: The patient should abstain from the use of every thing of a medicinal nature, and should partake of light, digestible food, to satisfy hunger, and of such drink as nature requires to allay thirst. Agreeable to this rule, the aliment may be class- ified under the following subdivisions :— I. ALIMENT ALLOWED. I. In acute diseases the appetite is mostly impaired, and only the lightest and most simple kinds of nutriment are pro- per ; but in these cases, nature herself usually dictates the needful abstinence, and the patient is allowed : Pure water in preference to all other drinks; toast water, or water with the addition of sugar, raspberry or strawberry syrup. Barley-water, rice water, thin oatmeal gruel, panada, gum Arabic water, whey, milk and water, preparations of arrow root, sago and tapioca, without any other seasoning than a little salt and loaf sugar, or one of the syrups mentioned. Most kinds of ripe succulent fruits possessing little or no acidity, fresh or prepared by cooking, and eaten in moderate quantities at a time; as grapes, melons, dried fruits, as figs, raisins, prunes, dried currants, apples, peaches, strawberries, raspberries, and sweet cherries; but no fruit whatever should be used in cases of colic or diarrhoea. II. After the more violent symptoms of acute disease have subsided, and the appetite calls for more substantial food, or 52 REGIMEN FOR THE SICK. in most chronic diseases, a wider range may be taken in the choice of aliment, and in such cases the following articles in addition to those already enumerated are allowed, viz : All kinds of light bread and biscuit not containing potash, soda, or other similar ingredients, and not too fresh ; cakes composed of meal, eggs, sugar, and. a little butter; buckwheat cakes not raised with fermenting powders; light puddings and dumplings of wheat, Indian meal, rice, oatmeal or bread, without wines, spices, or rich sauces, hominy, Indian mush, rye mush, groats, pearl barley. Potatoes, turnips, carrots, spinage, cabbage, cauliflower, asparagus, green or dried peas or beans ; (but these vegetables should not be used in colic or diarrhoea.) Milk, not too recent from the cow, buttermilk, boiled milk, cocoa boiled with milk or water, pure plain chocolate, weak black tea. Butter, free from any rancid or unusual taste, cream, mild cheese, curds and other simple preparations of milk, plain cus- tards. Raw or soft boiled eggs and egg tea, except in diarrhoea. Soups and broths of animal and vegetable substances else- where permitted, seasoned with a little salt only; beef tea, chicken water (the flesh being boiled at least for half an hour). Chickens, pigeons, turkeys, venison and other wild game. Beef, mutton, the lean part of ham, neats' tongues. Fresh scale fish, except salmon. Salt, sugar, ice creams with the syrup of strawberries and that of other allowed fruits, and not flavored with aromatics. II. ALIMENT STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Old smoked salt meat, salted fish, veal, geese, ducks, the liver, heart, lungs, or tripe of animals. Rancid butter, old strong cheese, lard, fat pork, turtles, ter- rapins, oysters raw or cooked, hard boiled eggs, omelets. Fish without scales, as catfish and eels; lobsters, crabs, clams, and soups prepared from them. All kinds of nuts. Coffee and green tea. Food prepared from blood, and much animal fat. Veal cutlets ; all kinds of sausages, particularly such as are smoked. The flesh of all young animals. All soups highly seasoned, sauces, drawn butter, pepper- pot. Cakes prepared with much fat or aromatics. NOTES. 53 All kinds of colored confectionary, pastry, honey. (Colored toys, if the colors be not fixed, are on all occasions to be with- held from children.) Cider vinegar, salads or cucumbers prepared with it ; sauerkraut, pickles. Artichokes, pickles prepared from spices, or greened with copper: catsups, parsnips, celery, horse-radish, garlic, raw or pickled onions, all kinds of pepper, sweet oil, mustard, saffron, nutmeg, ginger, lemon or orange peel, vanilla, laurel leaves, bitter almonds, peach kernels or peach leaves, cloves, cinna- mon, allspice, coriander, fennel or aniseed, marjoram, sage, thyme, spiced chocolate, mushrooms, tomatoes, beets, radishes, boiled or roasted unripe Indian corn. All kinds of distilled and fermented liquors, lemonade and drinks prepared from acids. All natural and artificial mineral waters. Wine vinegar, beer vinegar, adulterated vinegar, and di- luted mineral acids. NOTES. Should any of the allowed articles of diet disagree with the patient, on account of some constitutional peculiarity, or the nature of his disease, they should be avoided by him, though perfectly wholesome for others. The patient should not overload his stomach, nor oppress it with various or incongruous dishes. The demands of the appetite for solids are to be satisfied at stated and not too fre- quent periods, and at no other time. Regularity in the time of eating is of importance. The diet of children at the breast should not be changed during their sickness, but in such cases that of the mother should be regulated according to the preceding rules. With the view of guarding against every extraneous influ- ence calculated to disturb the due effect of homoeopathic reme- dies, every article of diet and every medicine ought to be avoided, not only all medicines procured at the shops, and all such as are empirical, but every description of domestic medi- cines, as all manner of herb teas, syrups, medicated poultices and irritating or medicinal substances applied to the skin. Blood-letting by the lancet, or by leeches and cups, and 54 NOTES. laxative injections, except those of lukewarm water, are like- wise forbidden. All perfumery, particularly musk, hartshorn, camphor, Cologne water, eau de Luce, or other aromatic waters, flowers used for their odor, cosmetics and tooth powders, must be avoided. The cure is disturbed by hot baths, or baths impregnated with herbs, sulphur, and other medicaments. Linen, cotton, or leather worn next the skin is preferable to woollens. When the nature of his malady will permit, the patient should use moderate exercise in the open air for an hour or more every day, and his chamber should be subjected to daily ventilation. Other things being equal, a good moral regimen places the patient in the most favorable condition for recovery. Labor which diverts the mind, while it exercises the body, should be daily used in chronic diseases, as far as the strength will conveniently permit. Homoeopathic medicines should be taken fasting, and for about half an hour afterwards the patient should abstain from eating or drinking, the use of tobacco, and, if possible, from much mental or bodily exertion. The medicines are to be kept in a clean, dry and cool place, free from odors. It may be as well to offer here a suggestion with regard to the use of Arnica in extensive and serious mechanical injuries. If any such should occur, Arnica may be applied in the follow- ing manner: Take about a drachm of the dried Flowers of Arnica (Flor. Arnica 1 drachm); pour on this about a quart of boiling water, let it cool, and then apply pieces of linen steeped in this decoction to the injured part. This may be repeated every hour, two or three hours, as the case may seem to require, and may be discontinued whenever the pain has ceased. If Arnica tincture is used, take 10 drops in a wine-glassful of water, and apply it with a piece of linen to the injured part. 55 ON THE METHOD OF TAKING THE MEDICINES, It is applicable in three different ways—first, by taking one or two globules ; second, dissolved in water; third, in water mixed with alcohol*— First, For all common complaints, such as headache, tooth- ache, stomachache, affection of the breast, &c.; or in more tedious cases, such as acute pains, foul stomach, sickness ac- companied with violent vomiting, &e, one or two globules of the proper remedies should be administered. To children, to very sensitive persons and persons very aged, give but one of these globules. Second. In all dangerous cases, or diseases of long stand- ing, when much medicine has already been taken, and the sys- tem injured^ and the dry medicine does not answer—in such case, the appropriate remedies should be administered in water. For this purpose, the glass must be very clean, and have con- tained nothing but milk or water, else you must rinse it several times with cold, then with hot water, dry and heat it on a stove as much as the glass will bear, and then suffer it to cool. The water you take should be as pure as possible, should contain no mineral particles, not hard, but so as to dissolve soap readily —or let it remain covered for twenty-four hours^ and then pour off from the top as much as you may want. Put two or three globules of the medicine to be used into the glass, pouring thereon from a half to a whole pint of water, mixing it effect- ually. Third. In case the medicine thus prepared and given has no effect, or does not operate as desired, and you are perfectly convinced that the remedy has been well selected, then prepare the medicine by putting it into a pint of pure water, and add thereto one or two tablespoonfuls of pure alcohol.—When thus prepared, viz., with water, or with water and alcohol, a table- spoonful to adults, and a teaspoonful to children, must be giv- en ; in very violent cases, every hour, but in chronic complaints, or diseases of long standing, every morning will suffice. J^Vhen the patient, after taking medicine, begins to be better, however 56 METHOD OF TAKING THE MEDICINE. little, he should cease taking the medicine, but as soon as his convalescence ceases, he should begin again—because a health- ful progress in the cure of the disease may be injured by taking too much of the remedy. It not unfrequently happens, that the medicine aggravates the symptoms, and makes the patient temporarily worse, which is, nevertheless, a good sign. In such case, the patient should cease to take any more, and wait for the effects of what he has taken. Should the aggravation be very violent, let him smell of camphor, but not change the remedy. But should the beneficial effect of the medicine be interrupted, and cease altogether, the patient consequently grow- ing worse, in consequence of unavoidable bad smells, or catch- ing cold, eating improper food, etc., he should take something to counteract the cause which occasioned this interruption, and then recur to the same medicine which had previously pro- duced this favorable change—or he may repeat the same medi- cine at once. While taking homoeopathic medicines, in order to effect a speedy and permanent cure, the strictest attention should be paid to the rules of diet mentioned under the foregoing direc- tions, else all may be in vain.

JAHR'S NEW MANUAL OF HOMOEOPATHIC PRACTICE, Edited, with Annotations, by A. Gerald Hull, M. D., from the third Paris edition. This is the second American edition ofa very celebrated work, written in French by the eminent Homoeopathic Professor Jahr, and it isconsidered the best practical compendium of this extraordinary science that has yet been composed. After a very judicious and instructive introduction, the work presents a table of the Homoeopathic medicines, with their names in Latin, English, and German ; the order in which they are to be studied, with their most important distinctions, and clinical illus- trations of their symptoms and effects upon the various organs and functions of the human system.— The second volume embraces an elaborate analysis of the indications in disease, of the medicines adapted to cure, and a glossary of the technics used in the work, arranged so luminously as to form an admirable guide to every medical student. The whole system is here displayed with a modesty of pretension, and a scrupulosity in statement, well calculated to bespeak candid investigation. This laborious work is indispensable to the students and practitioners of Homoeopathy, and highly inter- esting to medical and scientific men of all classes. 2 vols, bound. Price $6. HAHNEMANN Dr. S.
