PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. ^TTVHIS little work was prepared for my own use as a labor-saver, and as a receptacle for clinical observations, and for gleanings from others and from the periodicals. It has been the work of odd moments and little remnants of time, redeemed from busy days. Even the young physician, of a single summer's experience, must have felt the want of such a work, particularly when dealing with the frequently occurring and obstinate diarrhoeas of infants. It was the difficulty of treating these that first awakened the desire to possess in one little work all that was known of our Materia Medica as applied to loose evacuations of the bowels. It has not been intended to include every remedy that has been known to purge, but only every remedy of which enough is known, either of its stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distinguish it from any other remedy. But some may inquire, Why should diseases of the bowels he honored above others by a special monograph? Those who have Boenninghausen on Cough, on Fever, and on Head- ache, will not ask this question, but will desire that the work go on until we possess such special aids in the treatment of all affections that most tax the busy practitioner. The present work is now printed because colleagues, who had seen it, desired to possess a copy—one going so far as to copy it himself,— because Mr. Tafel, who had seen it, desired to print it, and because the work had already repaid me for the time and labor it cost in the same coin, and I was therefore happy to believe that it would be of like use to others. The clinical test will be found to disclose many valuable 4 PKEFACE. symptoms not to be met with elsewhere, and, alas, doubtless, many errors. The carefully collated experience of ten active years, which it con- tains, would indeed be better if they were twenty or thirty, but perhaps the Lord in His goodness will permit this to be added also. It would be a grateful task to indicate throughout the work the sources from which many valuable symptoms were drawn, but this would detract from its practical character as a work of reference. Augusta, Feb. 21st, 1869. James B. Bell. AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. >HT\HE materia] for a new edition of this little work has been collect- ing ever since the first was published, and such an edition has long been called for, but I do not think it would have ever seen the light had I not persuaded my friend and successor, Dr. W. T. Laird, late of "NVatertown, N. Y., to undertake its preparation for the press. He has also added much from his own collection of material, and to him is due the entire remodelling of the Repertory, which, in the first edition, was quite defective. My former partner, Dr. T. M. Dillingham, had kindly made a par- tial revision of the work, but went abroad before its completion. It may be necessary to add, by way of a personal explanation, that my "specialty" lies in quite another direction than "Diarrhoea" or Materia Medica, and it is only as a lover of sound therapeutics that I have taken up these subjects. Dr. Ad. Lippe has contributed two annotated copies and many sug- gestions, and I wish to tender my thanks to him and to all who have added any observations to its pages, as well, also, to the great numbers in the profession who have so kindly and heartily commended the book. To me its only merit is its practical application of the principles of Hahnemann, and I am rejoiced, therefore, that so many still hold firmly to those principles and seek to be guided by them. (5) EDITOR'S PREFACE. TN the revision of a monograph like the present work, after the lapse of twelve years, many new remedies demand recognition. These may be conveniently divided into four classes. In the first, we place those which have been thoroughly proved and repeatedly verified in practice. The second consists of drugs, which have also been well proved, but whose symptons, as yet, lack clinical confirmation. The third embraces the medicines of which we possess only fragmen- tary and imperfect pathogeneses. These may be styled "the suggestive remedies," and include such drugs as Coto Bark, Gent, lut., Geran., Gnaph., Hura, (Enothera, Paullinia, etc. The fourth division contains those remedies whose indications are derived solely ab usu in morbis. Of the first and second classes every remedy is plainly entitled to admission, "of which enough is known, either of its stools, or conditions, or concomitants, to distinguish it from any other remedy." Many of the drugs in the third class are doubtless valuable, and will prove of great service when further provings, experience and observa- tion have developed their characteristic indications. Some of them have already been successfully used in practice. Unfortunately, however, at the present time the symptoms of the majority of these remedies are too few and too uncertain to render their selection easy or to entitle them to a place in a work which is intended to be purely practical. Remedies of the fourth class—those having no basis except empiri- cism—must be viewed with distrust and received with great caution. In the second edition the same general plan has been followed as in the first, with the exception that the important symptoms are italicized (6) PREFACE. 7 while those which are especially characteristic are printed in black type. The term "cholera infantum" has been retained in many cases, which, according to strict pathology, would be more properly designa- ted as enter o-colitis and gastro-enteric catarrh. Although this use of the term is not defensible from a scientific standpoint, it is sanctioned to such an extent by common usage that in has been thought inexpedient to make any change. The present edition contains over 100 pages more than the first. Thirty-two new remedies have been added, and the old ones thoroughly revised, and, in some instances, entirely rewritten. Numerous clinical symptoms have been incorporated with the text, but only those whose genuineness is attested by trustworthy observers or which the writer has frequently verified in his own practice. Many others have been rejected on the ground of insufficient evidence. The writer lays no claim to originality in the additions he has made to this work. His task has been mainly one of compilation. He has gleaned from our literature all that he deemed valuable, and has con- scientiously endeavored to make the book as accurate and complete as possible; yet none can be more painfully aware of the many imperfec- tions and errors of omission which it must necessarily contain. It is especially to be regretted, in this connection, that the request for con- tributions, printed in our journals, has met with such meagre responses from the profession; for it is only by unity of effort that we can hope to attain the best results. The writer would gratefully acknowledge his indebtedness to Drs. W. P. Wesselhoeft and Ad. Lippe for valuable notes and suggestions; to Prof. E. A. Farrington for important information, and also for his kind permission to make free use of very complete notes of his lectures on Materia Medica; and to Dr. F. F. Laird for assistance in prepar- ing manuscript. Augusta. Me., March, 1881. W. T. Laird, M.D. PREFACE TO THIRD EDITION. ^ I \HIS book has been most thoroughly revised, with the earnest pur- pose of making it as nearly complete as possible. Four reme- dies of little importance have been omitted, viz.: Cactus, Euphorb., Opuntia and Castoreum, and five of much value have been added, viz.: Acetic add, Crotalus, Angustura, Carbolic acid and Valeriana. The more closely one follows the principles discovered by Hahne- mann the more priceless appears the legacy which he has left us. We have no occasion to join in the pursuit of our new, but speedily dis- covered drugs, lauded first as specifics, then thrown over for their failures and harmful effects. We are able at once, by proving and observation, to rightly estimate and use the new as wrell as the old remedies, and the knowledge thus acquired will be just as valuable centuries hence as now, and so we work on with the solemn joy of those whose work will never cease to bless mankind while there remain any sick to be healed. Dr. Samuel A. Kimball, author of the Monograph on Gonorrhoea, has given faithful and most valuable assistance in this revision, and Drs. J. G. Allen and W. Jefferson Guernsey have furnished annotated copies of the earlier edition. Many others also have contributed observations and suggestions, to all of whom most cordial thanks are tendered. Boston, June, 1888. James B. Bell. (8) INTRODUCTION. CHARACTER AND OBJECT OF THE WORK. T^HIS work is intended to apply to all loose evacuations of the bowels, and to describe them, their aggravations and ameliora- tions, with their immediate accompaniments and general accompanying symptoms. The character of the stool is used as an adjective, and after it the "stool" is always to be understood. The semicolon stands for it. Under the head of aggravations and ameliorations those influences are given which affect the stool, and also those which act as exciting causes of the attack. When referring to other symptoms, they will be found indicated in parentheses. The concomitants of the stool have been studied and observed with much care. The general accompaniments include all the symptoms that occur during the attack. Under each of the best known remedies some symptoms will be found italicized. These, it will be understood, are the symptoms which have been most frequently observed, and which also serve to most sharply distinguish that remedy from others. The more of these em- phasized symptoms we have under any one remedy the easier the selection. The sooner we are able by careful observation to emphasize symptoms under all our remedies, the more we shall perfect our art. It should be the self-appointed task of every Homoeopathic physician to confirm, and define, and add to the symptoms of all our remedies, but more especially of those that are but little known. Many of that class will be found in this book, some of which have many symptoms of clear and distinctive character, derived from provings, but whose (9) 10 INTRODUCTION.. relative and positive value awaits clinical determiuation. If those who use this book will add the fruits of their observations by underlining and writing-in symptoms, they will be gladly incorporated in a future edition, should any be required. The remarks, which follow nearly every remedy, should be under- stood as embodying only the personal opinions of the writer, whether confirming or contradicting what may have been published by others. It is hoped that they may sometimes aid in the selection of the remedy, but they are of wholly subordinate authority to the text. THE SELECTION OF THE REMEDY. All who subscribe to the law of similars agree that the problem in each case is to find a remedy whose symptoms are most closely similar to the case in hand. This problem finds a somewhat different solution, however, in different classes of mind. One class thinks the solution is found in a similitude to the patho- logical state. If able to diagnose hypersemia, hypersesthesia, ulceration, plastic exudation, atony, atrophy, hypertrophy, and so on through the catalogue, this seems to them sufficient. They have only then to diag- nose a remedy producing a similar state. This has a great fascination for some excellent minds, because it seems to utilize the splendid developments of Allopathy in this direction, and connect them directly with therapeutics. Another, and growing class, believes that those who stop here will never comprehend the true genius of Homoeopathy. The demand for exactness, minuteness and delicacy of observation in all branches of science was never greater. The same is true of Homoeopathic Thera- peutics. Those who are ardently following in this direction soon discover that the selection of the remedy requires, so to speak, two similars, viz.: one corresponding to the general symptoms, or those which bring it into relation to the pathological state to be treated, and one corresponding to the special and characteristic symptoms, or those which bring it into relation with the individual case to be treated. To illustrate: a patient has stools consisting of bloody mucus, small and frequent, with tenesmus. We diagnose dysentery; hypersemia INTRODUCTION. ,11 and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the colon, with exudation of blood and secretion of mucus. Forty-four volunteers stand ready, armed and equipped with a similar pathological condition. But we want but one, and how shall we learn which one? We must be more exact, and discover that our patient has restlessness, dry heat and much thirst. Our volunteers are now reduced to three; but still too many. Applying our magnify in g-glass again, we observe a recent exposure to cold, dry wind, and a flushed face becoming pale, with faintness on rising, and now we have the man we want. It becomes evident, therefore, that the individualizing symptoms possess the greater value, and are, indeed, indispensable to a certain selection. It should be noticed, further, that these distinguishing symptoms are of all kinds and qualities, from the most purely objective and patho- logical, to the most subjective and delicate complaints which the organ- ism is capable of uttering. As instances of the former may be cited, the green frothy stools of Magn. c, the dark acid urine of Benz. ac, the blue varices of Mur. ac, and of the latter, the aggravation from hearing water run, of Hydroph., from sudden depressing emotions, of Gels., and the relief, from cold food and drink, of Phos. But whatever the character of these symptoms, in this particular, it is to be observed that they are hardly ever obtrusive enough to thrust themselves upon the notice of an unobserving man, and that they often require a patience and acuteness of observation hardly excelled by astronomers, microscopists and other followers of natural science. This mode of diagnosing the remedy is also in exact accordance with that pursued in other sciences. The chemist would be thought hardly worthy of his title who should attempt to recognize arsenic by its cruder properties of color, weight, or taste. He must be familiar with its most delicate and characteristic tests and reactions. He does not ignore the other properties, yet it is only after applying the character- istic tests that he will give an authoritative decision, and on these he will rely, even in cases involving weighty questions of human guilt or innocence. But now the question arises, and it is a very important and practical 12 INTRODUCTION. one: suppose we find that the only remedy for a given case, that cor- responds to the peculiar and individualizing symptoms, is one that has never been known to cause the pathological state under which our patient suffers. The answer is, that we may safely infer that the remedy does possess also the general and organic symptoms of the case, and that it will remove them, together with the distinguishing indica- tions. Thus has our Materia Medica been enriched by at least one-fourth of the most positive and valuable pathological symptoms which we possess. Thus, for example, have we learned that Bry., Ars., Rhus, Bap., etc., have ulceration of Peyer's glands in their pathogenesis; that Hep., Lach. and Lye. produce pseudo-membranous exudation; that Spong. causes and cures plastic endo-carditis; or that (and a fact now published for the first time and obtained purely by observing the characteristic symptoms) Puis, and Sep. are known to cause and cure trachoma or granular conjunctivitis. Yet some affect to sneer at this method, and only a little time ago the author had the honor to acquire an enviable title, because he had observed the power of Podoph. to cure true pneumonia when selected by some characteristic symptoms, although it has never been known to produce that condition. Yet here, too, we are following closely the example of the chemist, who from the yellow band in the spectrum is able to assert that there is sodium in the sun, or from the lines in the spectrum of the Diirk- heim spring-water is able to declare that a new metal is there. He does not hesitate to attribute form, weight, malleability and other metallic properties to the stranger, long before he is able to possess himself of a little bar of Indium. Our conclusion, then, is, that the problem of selection is solved by seeking the remedy which possesses the physical and diagnostic symp- toms of the case, and which corresponds also to the special, distinguish- ing and peculiar symptoms which mark the individual case. And further, if a remedy is found that possesses distinctly the latter symp- toms, but not, so far as is known, the former, we may conclude safely that it does possess the former, and administer it with confidence. INTRODUCTION. 13 THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REMEDY. In the present state of our science upon this point, each can only con- tribute the fruits of his own observation.. The writer began the practice of medicine with the preconceived idea strongly fixed in his mind, that, while the thirtieth potency might be useful and perhaps the best for chronic and nervous affections, the lower and even crude preparations would prove more satisfactory for acute affections and particularly for diseases of the bowels. Hard experience has taught him the contrary, and " though con- vinced against his will," he is not "of the same opinion still." There is indeed a somewhat prevalent opinion, that the strength of the dose makes up for want of due care or knowledge in selection. This maybe stated in mathematical terms as follows: If the thirtieth potency of Ars. is equal to a complete knowledge of the drug, one-fifth of a grain of arsenious acid is equal to complete ignorance of it. Stated in this, its true form, we grant it. Personally, our experience has been most satisfactory with the use of the twelfth, fifteenth, thirtieth, two hundredth, and often higher potencies, of our remedies, administered in water, and repeated every one to six hours according to the urgency of the symptoms, and sus- pended as soon as decided improvement appeared. If the same remedy was needed to be resumed again, it has seemed to do better in a higher potency, but on this point we cannot yet speak with entire assurance. We have not been able to perceive that age or sex or habits (we might add color, race or order in natural history) form any element in the choice of the dose. All classes have been found to respond favorably to the high potencies. As regards temperament, we cannot speak with equal positiveness, but we have no certain testimony prov- ing it to form an exception. Homeopathic Therapeutics. PART I.

Aeon, is especially useful in the very beginning of acute diseases of the bowels, and is then often able to cut short dysentery and even cholera morbus without any other remedy. It is also a valuable intercurrent in dysentery, when Merc, corr., although indicated, fails to relieve. It closely resembles Dulc. and is followed well by that drug, also by Bell. Abuse of Aeon, calls for Sulph. 3. JESCULUS HIPPOCASTA1VUM.

Lower part of abdomen swollen and sensitive to pressure. Cutting and pinching pains in rectum and loins. Much flatus moving about in the abdomen, more in the left side. Pain in bowels after eating. Loud gurgling in 20 THE REMEDIES AND the abdomen as of water running out of a bottle. Distended abdomen. Flatus smells very badly, and causes burning in the rectum. Urine generally profuse. Involuntary urination. Heaviness and numbness of the thighs. Chilliness when leaving the fire. Repugnance to open air, which, nevertheless, relieves. Aloe is one of our most valuable remedies for both diarrhoea and dysentery. It is undoubtedly a deeply acting antipsoric and of great value in chronic diarrhoea. The symptoms are marked and unmis- takable, as given above. Contrary to what might be expected, the peculiar gurgling in the abdomen is often found with the dysenteric stool, when Aloe is indicated. The good appetite is most frequently met with in children. The haemorrhoids differ from those of Brom. in the relief from cold water, and from those of Muriatic acid, which are relieved by warm water and greatly aggravated by cold water locally applied. It has many symptoms like Sulphur and is nearly as important a remedy. 7. ALUMINA. Stools : Thin fecal; Black, bloody; Green watery; Corrosive; Ex- pulsion difficult. Aggravation : After constipation: After dinner: After lead- poisoning : During typhoid fever: In dry weather: When walking: When urinating: On alternate days (general condition) : From pap and artificial food (children). Amelioration : Aftershort sleep: From warm applications (colic) : In open air (general condition). Before Stool: Colic. During Stool: Colic: Tenesmus (with bloody, scanty stools) : Burning in the rectum : Involuntary urination: Dropping of blood : Heat and tenderness of bowels. After Stool: Usually relief: Sometimes the colic continues: Throb- bing in the back: Soreness of anus: Involuntary urination. Accompaniments : Seriousness. Changeable mood.

Violent colic. Urine can only be passed with the stool, or must stand up to urinate and then sit down to defecate. Sensation of weakness of sphincter ani. General debility. Chlorosis. Great dryness of all the mucous membranes. Dryness and harshness of skin with absence of perspiration. Alum, is sometimes useful in acute diarrhoea and, possibly, dysentery, when the difficult expulsion of stool and urine exists. It is more fre- quently indicated in chronic diarrhoea accompanying chlorosis in slender delicate girls, with the depraved appetite and the aggravation on alternate days. With these symptoms, a brilliant cure may be ex- pected, including the chlorosis, if the remedy be not given too low and too frequently. 8. AMMOX. MUR. Stools: Green, thin, mucous (slimy); Yellow fecal and slimy; White and undigested; Green and watery; Yellow and bloody, watery, or slimy; Like scrapings of meat; Copious (watery); Copious of coagulated blood ; Constipation alternating with diarrhoea. Aggravation : In the morning (green slimy stools): During the menses: After meals : During the day : Walking in open air (nausea). Before Stool: Violent urging: Pain about the navel. During Stool: Tenesmus: Pain in the rectum : Burning in rec- tum : Discharge of blood : Pain in abdomen, back and limbs: Pain in small of back. After Stool: Tenesmus: Pain in abdomen, and soreness as if bruised: Burning in rectum : Sore pustules near the anus. Accompaniments: Fretfulness. Face bloated, red, flushes easily. Bitter taste in the mouth, and bitter eructations passing off after eating something. Loss of appetite. Nausea, after dinner and when walking in the open air. Pinching in abdomen, hindering inspiration. Much rumbling and emission of flatus. Itching soreness of the rectum, several pustules being formed at the side of it. Ebulli- tions of blood, violent throbbing in arteries, with anxiety and feeling of paralytic weakness. Bruised pain in the whole body in the morn- ing after rising. Amm. m. is especially adapted to fat, sluggish people, with adipose tissue well developed on the trunk, while the legs are disproportion- ately small. It is useful for chronic diarrhoea occurring during the menses, when the other symptoms correspond. Many of the symptoms 90 THE REMEDIES AND resemble those of Aloe but are milder. The green mucous stool may render it useful in infantile diarrhoea, but experience with it in this affection is yet wanting. 9. AXGUSTUKA. Stools: Mucous; Yellow; Whitish; Slimy; Copious (thin stools). Aggravation : In morning: During day : At night. Before Stool: Cutting in abdomen aud nausea: Sensation in rectum as if it would protrude. During Stool: Painful tenesmus: Distension of haemorroidal veins: Burning in rectum.

Desire for acids. Frequent and profuse urine, with reddish sediment. Constant secretion of a yellowish-white mucus at the anus. The gastric symptoms of Antimon. crud. predominate. The vomiting differs from that of Aeon., Ars., Verat., and other remedies, in the absence of severe thirst and in the white-coated tongue. From want of attention to these distinctions, this remedy is often overlooked, when it would bring speedy relief. 11. ANTIMONIUM TART. Stools : Light, brownish-yellow, fecal; Watery; Mucous; Bloody; Green, slimy, mucous; Frequent; Profuse; Thin, bilious; Liquid, greenish ; Slimy like yeast; Of cadaverous smell.

Great pros- tration, cold sweat and thready pulse. Although not of frequent use in diarrhoea, Tartar emet. will repay careful study. Veratrum has doubtless been given many times where 24 THE REMEDIES AND the choice should have fallen on this remedy, as the colic, desires and vomiting are quite similar. Tartar emet., however, has more drowsiness and twitching of the muscles than Verat. 12. APIS MEL. Stools: Greenish, yellowish, slimy, mucous; Yellow watery; Yellow fecal; Clear (colorless) watery; Black 'watery (copious); Yellow brown; Gelatinous, mucous; Brownish, watery or bloody; Looking like tomato sauce; Bloody watery; Olive-green, containing bright red lumps; Whitish; Bloody mucous (mixed with fecal); Bloody; Contain- ing flakes of pus; Offensive (watery stool); Painless (slimy mucous, or greenish-yellow); Painless (mornings); Brassy smelling; Smelling like carrion; Involuntary, with every motion, as though the anus stood open (yellow fecal and slimy); Constant oozing from anus, of which the patient is unconscious ; Frequent.

In infantile diarrhoea and cholera infantum Apis is one of our most precious remedies, corresponding to a low and dangerous condition. The absence of thirst, existing with a dry tongue and dry hot skin, is sufficiently striking to prevent confounding it with other remedies with similar stools. Still more characteristic is the bruised soreness of the abdominal walls. This is always present. Even when hydrocephaloid ensues, and the previously distended abdomen becomes sunken and flabby, there is still the same intolerance of the slightest pressure. When oedema is present it will be most frequently found in the feet and genitals. 13. ARGENTUM NIT. Stools : Green mucous, like chopped spinach in flakes; Turning green after remaining on diaper; Bright yellow; Greenish-yellow; Creamy; Dark, watery mucous; Bloody; Bloody mucous; Brown liquid; Slimy; Masses of epithelial substance, connected by muco-lymph, red, green, shreddy, thin, unshapely strips or shaggy lumps; Frequent; Fetid (green mucous and brown liquid); Sour; Scanty, (watery mu- cous); Painless (bloody mucous); Involuntary; Undigested; Excoriat- ing; Alternating with constipation; Expelled forcibly with much spluttering.

The whole body feels sore and bruised, and is sensitive to touch. Bed feels too hard. Restless, constantly changing position. Weakness oblig- ing one to lie down. Arnica has not a wide application in bowel affections, but the symp- toms are clear and the selection easy. The marked gastric derange- ment is peculiar and characteristic. 15. ARSENICUM. Stools: Thick, dark green mucous; White, slimy, bloody mucous; Fluid fecal and bloody, chocolate-colored ; Slimy mucous; Brown mucous; Black mucous; Yellow, like stirred eggs; Bloody; Dark or black, watery or fluid; Yellow, watery; Purulent; Undigested; Alter- nating with constipation; Frequent; Scanty; Involuntary and unno- ticed ; Corrosive; Offensive, smelling like carrion or the discharge from putrid ulcers (watery or fluid stools); Painless (watery stools); Pro- fuse (brownish-yellow watery stools).

Great weakness ; fainting ; rapid exhaustion. Very rapid and scarcely perceptible pulse, or the pulse may be fast in the morning and slow in the evening. Rapid emaciation, with oedema of face and legs. There is reason that, as routine is easier than study, Arsenicum may have acconvplished more harm than good in the hands of homoeopathic practitioners. No remedy has been more frequently given in acute affections of the bowels, while it is not the most frequently indicated and it is not a remedy to be unwisely used. The symptoms which most clearly distinguish it from other remedies with a similar totality THEIR INDICATIONS. 29 are the characteristic thirst and restlessness. These two must be present, as a general rule. The mucous stools are not usually offensive; the watery ones are very much so, and often painless. 16. ASAFCETIDA. Stools: Yellow; Dark brown; Greenish ; Slimy (only slime passes, no faeces); Watery; Papescent; Disgustingly offensive; Profuse.

Hysterical spasms after suppression of habitual discharges, as from an ulcer. Glands swollen, hard and hot, with shooting, jerking pains. Asafcetida has a limited range of action, and is chiefly applicable to diarrhoea occurring in scrofulous children and hysterical women. The extremely offensive stool, and the generally reversed peristalsis are the leading indications for its use. 17. ASARUM EUROP. Stools: Tenacious mucous; Shaggy masses of mucus, of resinous appearance; Scanty, yellow, stringy mucous; In a long, twisted string ; Odorless; Ascarides pass with the stool; Yellowish-brownish; Watery (very weakening); Undigested.

After Stool: Smarting in the rectum: Colic continues: Pain in anus. Accompaniments: Mental depression. Headache. Flatulent colic. Rheumatic pains in the extremities. Debility, worse after any exertion. Drowsiness, with uneasy sleep and fatiguing dreams. The symptoms of Asclepias are well-marked and peculiar, but, as yet, lack clinical verification. 19.

Fever slight, pulse soft and full. Sleeplessness, or sleep with heavy, tiresome dreams. Bruised, sore feeling of the whole body, causing restlessness. Prostration more pro- found than the severity of the attack would seem to justify. Extended clinical observation has proved the value of Bapt. in both diarrhoea and dysentery, when assuming the typhoid type. The tenesmus, with absence of pain and the characteristic tongue and men- tal symptoms, render its selection easy and certain. 20. BARYTA CARB. Stools: Papescent; Watery; Undigested; Yellow, with mucus and blood; Involuntary. Aggravation: In scrofulous, dwarfish children: After taking cold: By lying on painful side (pains). Before Stool: Sudden urging: Soreness in the lumbar region: Chilliness over the head and legs : Ineffectual urging: Colic. During Stool: Burning in anus and rectum.

Sleepiness with restlessness; starting up suddenly. Twitching of the muscles during sleep. Moaning during sleep, with half-closed eyes. Drowsiness, ivith inability to sleep. Every little jar is painful. The pains appear and disappear suddenly. Belladonna will be found suitable for children more frequently than adults. It is often the only remedy required for severe cases of infan- tile dysentery. The droAvsiness, with startings, dry heat and frequent drinking, may be regarded as characteristic, if the other symptoms of the patient correspond. 22. BENZOIC ACID. Stools: Watery, white, or light-colored; Like dirty soap-suds; Copious; Very offensive; Frothy bloody; Smelling strong, pungent, like urine; Putrid, bloody.

Stools : Papescent; Watery; Cadaverous-smelling; Painless. Before Stool: Rumbling in the abdomen. During Stool: Emission of fetid flatus : Colic. After Stool: Great prostration. 3 34 THE REMEDIES AND Accompaniments: Desire for company. Pale face, Avith blue rings around the eyes. Tongue thickly coated white. Thirst: drinks large quantities of water and vomits it immediately. Convulsive gag- ging. Vomiting occurs as soon as the stomach is full, and is then enor- mous. Vomits water only; food is retained. Heaviness, pressure and burning in the pit of the stomach. Abdomen distended with flatulence. Great prostration, but the surface is warm. The value of Bismuth, in cholera infantum has not been fully ap- preciated. The excessive prostration, without coldness of the surface, Avill readily distinguish it from other remedies. In thickly coated white tongue and gastric symptoms it resembles Antimon. crud. 24. BOLETUS LARICIS. (Polyporus officinalis.) Stools : YelloAV, Avatery; Frothy ; Papescent; Mixed with bile and frothy mucus or with oily-looking fluid; Thin, dark, papescent; Mu- cous; Whitish, mucous; Bilious, mucous and bloody; Bilious, mucous and black fecal; Undigested; Sometimes painless; Profuse; Pouring out in a stream.

Chilliness along the spine, followed by hot flashes and sweat. Skin hot and dry, especially the palms of the hands. Jaundice. The value of Boletus must be determined by the crucial test of THEIR INDICATIONS. 35 clinical experience. In many of the symptoms it closely resembles Leptandria. 25. BORAX. Stools: Light yellow, slimy mucous; Green mucous; Frequent; Yel- low watery ; Colorless ; Fermented ; Thin, brown, frothy, containing small pieces of yellow faeces; Offensive, smelling like carrion (brown stools); Painless (broAvn stools).

The anxious feeling on doAvmvard motion is the chief distinction between them, and is peculiar to Borax. 26. BOVISTA. Stools: Liquid, yellow, fecal; First part hard, last part thin and watery. Aggravation: Early in the morning: In the evening: At night: Before the menses: During the menses. Amelioration: After breakfast. 36 THE REMEDIES AND Before Stool: Urging: Colic. During Stool: Twisting pains in abdomen: Cutting pains. After Stool: Tenesmus: Burning at anus: Languor: Burning and itching in anus as if Avorms Avere craAvling. Accompaniments: Nausea in the morning; better after break- fast. Distension of the abdomen, Avith rumbling shifting of flatulence, and emission of much flatus. Colic Avhich causes the patient to double over, relieved by eating. Bovista is chiefly useful for diarrhoea, occurring before and during menstruation. The menses are either too early or too late, and the floAV is profuse, dark and clotted, occurring mostly at night or early iu the morning, 27. BROMINE. Stools : Black fecal; Light yelloAv, slimy mucous; Painless, odorless, like scrapings of the intestines; Yellow, green or blackish. Aggravation: After a meal: After oysters: After acids: At night.

AArersion to hab- itual smoking; it causes nausea and vertigo. Emptiness in the stomach. Contractive spasm of the stomach passing off after eating. Croup of rectum. Icy coldness of the forearms; hands cold and moist. Great languor and debility. One or two cases of Bromine diarrhoea, in its characteristic totality, are as many as can be expected to fall to one physician during a life- time. Should the aggravation after oysters, however, become more fully confirmed, it will need to be used more frequently. 28. BRYONIA.

Bryonia has not been one of the routine remedies for loose discharges from the boAvels, nor is it desirable that it should become so, or that that list should be enlarged. It is, however, quite often indicated, and if administered according to the above symptoms, will not fail to repay the careful chooser. 29. CALCAREA CARB.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 39 In selecting Calcarea c, the stool is of less importance than the per- son and the concomitant symptoms. These often render it the indis- pensable remedy in psoric individuals. The smell of the urine cannot be described, but once smelled it is never forgotten. The color will distinguish it from that of Benz. ac. It is said to be suitable when per- sistent tenesmus remains after dysentery in children. 30. CALCAREA PHOS. Stools: Green, slimy, undigested; Hot, watery; Purulent; Splut- tering; Extremely offensive; White; Papescent; Containing pus in small points or flakes; Soft (expulsion difficult); Expelled forcibly (green and watery stools) ; Frequent.

Skin dry ani cold. Tendency to marasmus or hydrocephaloid. Calc. phos. is one of our most valuable remedies for the diarrhoea of scrofulous and rachitic children. It can easily be distinguished from Calc, c, Silic. and Sul. by the concomitant symptoms. When gi\en in season it will often prevent marasmus, and is the first remedy to be thought of in threatened hydrocephaloid, after the failure of Chins to arrest the disease. 31. CAMPHOR. Stools: Dark brown; Blackish; Looking like coffee-grounds (fecal); (Watery?); Large, thin; Involuntary; Like rice-water; Oen- erally painless; Sour; Attack very sudden.

CAPSICUM. Stools: Mucous; Bloody mucous; Tenacious mucous; streaked with black blood; Thin, adhesive, slimy, mixed with black blood; Shaggy, slimy and bloody; Greenish frothy; Frequent; Small; Expelled with violence.

Capsicum is one of the royal remedies for dysentery ; resembling Canth. much in its symptoms, but differing equally as much, as a comparison will show. When the choice becomes difficult, the drink- ing after stool causing shuddering, and the drawing pains in the back. after stool, will fix the decision on Caps., and distinguish it also from Merc. corr. and Nux vom. 34. CARBO VEG. Stools : Thin, pale mucous; Bloody mucous (dark, thin fecal); Brown, watery, slimy; Light-colored; Semi-liquid, black ; Ashy-gray (mushy); Painful; Frequent; Involuntary (with flatus); Putrid; Cadaverous-sm elling.

Voice hoarse or lost. Pulse thready, intermittent, scarcely perceptible. Con- sciousness retained or coma. Sopor without vomiting, stool or cramps. Sometimes spasms, folloAved by congestion of blood to the head or chest. Except in cholera, Carbo veg. is rarely indicated in the beginning of any acute disease of the bowels; but in the later stages it may become the only remedy capable of producing a favorable change. It will not often be required in cases that have had good homoeopathic treatment, but much more frequently in those coming from allopathic hands. After it are frequently suitable Ars., China, Merc, sol., or Psor. It is also useful for the debility following a long-lasting attack of diarrhoea. 35. CARBOLIC ACID.

Novices often fail with Chamomilla. It is not adapted to every case of diarrhoea during dentition. The mental symptoms are of chief im- portance (compare Cina),but the desire to be carried about is not alone decisive. If, hoAvever, the other symptoms correspond, particularly of the stool, this symptom Avill make the choice more certain. Cham, is not often indicated in cases of long continuance, and is often unable to complete the cure alone, requiring to be followed by Merc. sol. or Sulph. 46 THE REMEDIES AND 38. C1IELIDON1UM MA J.

During Convalescence : Much weakness and debility, with pale face, ringing in the ears and tendency to dropsical SAvelling. China has a very strong resemblance to Carbo veg. The character of the stool Avill usually serve to distinguish them, together with the fact that with the former the stools are often entirely in the night, be- ing absent during the day, even in severe cases, unless they occur after meals, which is also an additional distinction. When Avell selected Chin, usually completes the cure. In threatened hydrocephaloid, hoAV- ever, it is often necessary to follow with Calc. phos. 40. CICUTA VIROSA. Stool: Thin, slimy; Black offensive; Frequent, liquid; Expelled suddenly. Aggravation : At 2 and 5 a.m. : By pressure (abdominal pains).

The three highly characteristic symptoms of Crot. tig., the yellow watery stool, sudden expulsion and aggravation from drink and food, 56 THE REMEDIES AND form a trio Avhose presence will render success certain and brilliant. This stool is not always painful. The other stools have the same con- ditions and are also quickly cured by this remedy. 53. CUBEBiE.

These cramps particularly affect the flexors, the muscles often drawing up into visible knots. 55. CYCLAMEN. Stools : Yellow, watery; Papescent; Mucous; Expelled forcibly. Aggravation : After coffee: After pork and fat food: In the even- ing, during rest, and in the open air (general condition). Before Stool: Pinching colic: Urging: Nausea.

In many of its symptoms Cyclamen is almost identical with Puis., but may be distinguished from the latter by the character of the stool, the aggravation after coffee and the aversion to open air. Like Puis., it will prove especially valuable for the diarrhoea of chlorotic women, subject to sick headaches and menstrual irregularities. 56. DIGITALIS. Stools: Watery, fecal and mucous; Yellowish-white fecal; Wliitish or ash-gray fecal; Involuntary; Like coffee grounds. Aggravation: During jaundice: Afternoon, five to six o'clock (vomiting).

Abdominal pains suddenly shift and appear in distant localities, as the fingers or toes. Pains in the legs and knees, relieved by motion and by rubbing. Disposition to paronychia. Diosc. has a much narrower range than Coloc, but, as in the latter, the colic is the principal indication. It is easily distinguished from the colic of any other remedy by the above symptoms. The disposition to felons may be found with the tendency to colic. Whether met Avith thus or single, Diosc. will usually cure whitlow if taken as soon as the pricking in the finger is felt, and greatly relieve and hasten the termi- nation if taken later. 58. DULCAMARA. Stools: Yellowish, greenish, watery; Whitish, watery, with flocculi; White, mucous; Green, mucous; Yellow, mucous; Slimy, mucous; Bloody; Bilious; Changeable; Expelled with much force; Dark brown fecal; Involuntary; Undigested ; Sour smelling; Frequent; Scanty; Corrosive.

Dulc. is seldom required except in cases directly traceable to taking cold or to a change in the weather from warm to cold; but then it be- comes the indispensable and often all-sufficient remedy, whether the attack is diarrhoea or dysentery. It is rarely useful if the attack is painless. In many symptoms it resembles Aeon, and Arsen. 59. ELATERIUM. • Stools: Frothy, watery; Dull, olive-green discharges; Bilious; Squirting out; Dark green mucous stool, in masses mixed Avith whitish mucus streaked with blood; Very frequent and copious (watery) ; Frequent (mucous).

Abdomen feels sore and bruised to the touch, and when walking. Hard and distended abdomen, Avithout flatulence. Spasmodic pain in back and anus. Peevish, tearful. Emaciation. Debility. Chlorosis. Exhausting sweats. Coldness of surface, with sour SAveat. Failing pulse. Vox choleraica. Ferrum is sometimes required in cases of chronic diarrhoea, in both adults and children, with the above symptoms. Were it not for its excessive abuse by the allopathists, from whom such cases mostly come, it would be more frequently useful. It must also be remembered in cholera and cholerine; especially when the slightest attempt at eating, drinking or moving brings on a stool. 61. FLUORIC ACID. Stools : Watery; Yellowish-brown, fecal; Offensive; Very loose, bright yellow, with mucus; Frothy mucous; Bilious. Aggravation: In the morning: After coffee: On alternate days, a later hour each time: During day: Soon after drinking, especially warm drinks: At night: After rising in morning: 4 a.m.: In old people: In premature old age, with syphilitic-mercurial dyscrasia: Weakly constitutions: After trivial errors of diet.

Aversion to coffee. Feeling of emptiness about the navel, relieved by tightening the clothes. Bilious vomiting after errors in diet. Sensibility to pressure in right hypochondrium. Sallow skin and emaciation. Great loss of memory, much fear and anxiety. Fluoric acid deserves careful study in chronic diarrhoea, in broken down persons who ha\Te had syphilis and have taken much mercury, and in hard drinkers with bad livers. 62. GAMBOGIA.

Nausea and vomiting, after taking drink or food (Avith the watery and sometimes the mucous stools). THEIR INDICATIONS. 63 Rumbling in the abdomen. Gurgling, as of a fluid running from a bottle. Pain and sensitiveness to pressure in the ileo-ccecal region. Urine smells like onions, scenting the room. Feeling of soreness all over the body. Much lassitude and debility. Emaciation. Gambogia is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of diarrhoea, both acute and chronic, and has also a place in the thera- peutics of infantile diarrhoea and of dysentery. It closely resembles Aloe. It may be distinguished, however, by the absence of haemor- rhoids, by the rapid expulsion of stool, and by the immediate accom- panying symptoms of the stool as italicized above. When well selected, Gambogia usually gives a prompt and permanent cure, without subse- quent aid from other remedies. 63. GELSEMIUM. Stools : Yellow fecal; Cream-colored fecal; Bilious; Tea green or olive green; Involuntary. Aggravation: From sudden depressing emotions, fright, grief, bad news, excitement: During dentition: In the evening (general con- dition). Before Stool: Colic : Passage of flatus.

Slight fever, with full, round, soft, flowing pulse. Many persons are seized with diarrhoea whenever subjected to sud- den depressing emotions, particularly fear and anxiety. The anticipa- tion of any unusual ordeal—as appearing in public, undergoing an examination, submitting to.a surgical operation—is sufficient to excite it. Gels, removes it, together with the trepidation Avhich caused it. It is a short-acting remedy, and although relieving the attacks, will sel- dom cure the disposition to them; some carefully chosen antipsoric must do that. 64 THE REMEDIES AND 64. GRAPHITES. Stools : Brown fluid, mixed with undigested substances, and of an intolerable fetor; Pasty, like mud, adhering to the vessel; Watery; Reddish or Avhite mucous; Knotty, lumps united by stringy mucus ; Sour-smelling; Corrosive.

Graph, occupies a subordinate position in the treatment of diarrhoea, but the emphasized symptoms describe a condition sometimes met with, and often chronic, where it proves curative. It is especially adapted to fat, flabby persons, who suffer from constant chilliness, and are subject to eczematous and herpetic eruptions, which crack and ooze a glutinous fluid. These are apt to occur behind the ears or in the bends of the joints, and are associated with marked absence of perspiration. 65. GRATIOLA OFF. Stools: Watery; Yellow,green, frothy, watery; Brown fetid mucous; Frequent; Gushing out with force; Involuntary ; Painless; Green fluid gradually changing to colorless. Aggravation : In the open air: After drinking too freely of Avater not very cold. Amelioration: After eating, and by eructations (nausea): By passing flatus (pains).

There is reason to believe that Gratiola will prove particularly ser- viceable in cases of cholera morbus resulting from drinking excessive quantities of Avater of moderate coolness; the quantity, and not the coldness, being the cause. 66. HELLEBORUS NIGER. Stools: White, jelly-like, mucous; Pure, tenacious, white mucous; Colorless mucous: White gelatinous, like frog's spawn; Watery; Frequent: Involuntary. Aggravation: In children: During dentition: During acute hydro- cephalus : From 4 to 8 p.m. : During pregnancy. Before Stool: Nausea: Colic. During Stool: Urging: Tenesmus: Nausea.

Bruised sore feeling of the body, worse from any motion. The child smells sour. Swollen glands. Desire to be covered even in a Avarm room. Over-sensitiveness to pain. Hepar sul. occupies a leading position in the therapeutics of chronic diarrhoea. The cases calling for it are among the most common. They come often from allopathic treatment, having abuse of mercury or cin- chona, and often suppression of scabies in their history. So many of the characteristic symptoms are referred to the stomach, that the cases might be classed under dyspepsia. It most resembles Lycop. The time of aggravation is the most constant distinction.

Ignatia is not often indicated in acute diseases of the bowels, but is valuable in certain forms of diarrhoea and dysentery, characterized by great nervous erethism and tenesmus occurring only after stool. The italicized accompaniments are very characteristic, especially the desire to take a deep breath to relieve the sinking at the stomach. 72. IODINE. Stools: Watery, foamy, whitish mucous; Whey-like; Fatty; Bloody, mucous; Thick, mucous; Fecal; Purulent; Copious; Fetid; Alternation of constipation and diarrhoea.

Oppressed breathing. Suffocative catarrh of the chest. Spasms. Sleep Avith eyes half open. DroAVsiness, with starting and jerking of the muscles during sleep. THEIR INDICATIONS. 71 The continuous nausea is the most constant distinctive symptom of Ipec. The addition of the characteristic vomiting and the violent colic is more rare, and renders the choice more nearly certain. This remedy is seldom suited to cases of long continuance, and is often unable to complete the cure alone. In cholera infantum it may need to be fol- lowed by Arsenicum. 74. IRIS VERSICOLOR. Stools: Brown; Watery; Watery, mixed with mucus ; Bloody, mucous; Thin, yellow, fecal; Black; Mushy; Papescent; Greenish; Undigested; Involuntary; Frequent; Profuse; Corrosive; Fetid or coppery-smelling.

Limbs and body cold. The characteristic symptoms of Iris v. are not among those of most frequent occurrence, but when met with are not difficult to recognize. It will be found applicable mostly to cholera morbus, occurring in the hottest of the season. It is said to have been used successfully in cholera, with icy-cold tongue and general coldness of the surface. 72 THE REMEDIES AND 75. JABORANDI. Stools : Thin, yellow, watery, undigested ; Gushing; Painless. Aggravation: During the day (mostly between 6 a.m. and noon) : At noon (headache). Amelioration : By eating (distress in the stomach).

Abdomen swollen and tender to the touch. Rumbling and noise as of a bottle of water being emptied in the abdomen not ceasing after stool. Violent cramps in the legs and feet. Coldness of the body. General cold, clammy perspiration. THEIR INDICATIONS. 73 Those who have used Jatropha in the treatment of cholera have confirmed the above symptoms, and they are such as give it a promi- nent place in the treatment of the first stage of that disease, before the period of collapse. The albuminous vomiting is very characteristic. This and the other symptoms are also sometimes met with in cholera morbus. In some respects it resembles Ipec, but may be distinguished from the latter remedy by the burning thirst and violent cramps. 78. KALI BICH. Stools : Blackish, Avatery; Yellowish, watery ; Clay-colored, Avatery and lumpy; Brownish,frothy, watery; Bloody; Jelly-like; Frequent; Gushing out (watery stools) ; Involuntary and often pain- less and odorless.

Stitches in the right side of the chest and in the left sciatic nerve. Much debility and desire to lie down. Kali bich. proves of great service in a variety of cases, but chiefly in dysentery, with the characteristic tongue and gelatinous stools. Some- times, however, with those stools the tongue has nothing peculiar. The morning aggravation will then decide the choice. After Canth. has removed stools like scrapings, jelly-like stools will sometimes appear. 74 THE REMEDIES AND Kali bich. will then complete the cure. It is also valuable in chronic morning diarrhoea and chronic clay-colored diarrhoea. 79. KALI BROM. Stools: Watery (like-rice-water); Frequent; Green; Bloody; Muco-purulent; Painless.

The rattling of drink as it rolls down the oesophagus is the most characteristic symptom, and one of evil omen. In these cases, the other symptoms corresponding, this remedy will save many otherwise fatal cases. The same remark applies also to cholera and cholera morbus. 85. LEPTANDRIA. Stools : Black, fecal fluid, running from the bowels in a stream; Black, papescent, tar-like; Yellowish green; Watery ; Watery mucous ; Watery, with large quantities of mucus; Greenish, muddy, Avatery, spouting out like water; Mucous, bilious and bloody; Consisting of pure blood; Profuse; Fetid; Excoriating; Undigested.

The symptom of the region of the liver is found on the opposite side, under Natr. carb. The griping colic after stool with- out tenesmus will distinguish Lept. from Merc. sol. 86. LILIUM TIGRINUM. Stools: Dark brown, semi-liquid fecal; Copious, bilious ; Bloody, mucous; Very offensive. Aggravation: In the morning and forenoon : In the evening until midnight (general condition): When standing (bearing down).

THEIR INDICATIONS. 81 Spasms, Avith screaming, foaming at the mouth; unconsciousness, throwing the arms about. Lycop. is one of the noblest monuments to the genius of Hahnemann, as well as one of the most convincing proofs of the homoeopathic doc- trines. This innocent substance is developed by potentizing into one of our most valuable remedies for chronic diarrhoea, as met with in weak, chlorotic, dyspeptic and debilitated persons. The characteristic symptoms are marked, and need no comment. The symptoms of the stool are subordinate. The "chilliness in the rectum," before stool, is a singular but genuine symptom, which further observation may prove to be characteristic. It should be thought of in cholera infantum, with brain symptoms. Before Lye. is frequently needed some other, not antipsoric remedy (often Nux vom.). 89. MAGNESIA CARB. Stools : Green, watery, frothy, with green scum like that of a frog- pond ; White lumps, like masses of tallow, floating in the green, watery stool; Bloody mucous; Green mucous; Greenish-yelloAv, slimy, mucous; BroAAn, fluid ; Profuse; Sour-smelling; Undigested (containing curdled milk).

Sour smell of the whole body. Debility. Much of the ground which should have been occupied by Magn. carb. has heretofore been given to Cole, and Merc. A better acquaintance with the former will prevent this in the future. It is a remedy of the first order in dysentery and infantile diarrhoea. The stools are highly 6 82 THE REMEDIES AND characteristic. The bloody mucus is found mixed Avith the green, Avatery stool, sinking to the bottom of the vessel and adhering there ; but the Avatery stool occurs alone. It follows Rheum well, and is often required after that remedy to complete the cure. 90. MERCURTUS CORROS.

Cramps in the calves. Limbs feel bruised. Trembling of the limbs. Faintness, weakness and shuddering. In the absence of any provings except poisonings, the finer shades of Merc. corr. are not known. One thing is certain, however, that it is too frequently employed in dysentery, to which it is only applicable Avhen occurring in great intensity and accompanied by the character- istic urinary symptoms, as given above. It follows Aeon. well. 91. MERCURIUS SOL. (Mercurius vivus.)

Perspiration on the least exertion. Children restless, with frequent drawing up of the feet and Avhining. Thighs and legs cold and clammy, particularly at night. Rheumatic pains in the limbs, worse at night. Sleeplessness at night, Avith sleepiness in the daytime. Restless sleep. Oily, offensive or sour-smelling night-sweat, particularly on the head, cold on the forehead. Jaundice. Glands swollen and suppurating. Few remedies require more careful selection than Merc. Its symp- toms, though marked aud decided, differ more from other remedies in intensity than in quality, and it requires an observing experience to measure this difference. It differs negatively, however, from many other similar remedies, wanting characteristics Avhich they possess. In psoric infants the choice has often to be made between Calc, Sil. and Merc, and must be made with care, as a mistake is not easily rectified. Sil. and Merc, do not follow each other well. 92. MEZEREUM. Stools: Watery; Brown, fecal; Fermented; Undigested; Contain- ing small glittering grains; Small; Frequent; Sour; Offensive. Aggravation: In the evening: After suppression of an eruption of thick crusts covering thick pus. Before Stool: Chill: Colic: Passing much fetid flatus.

In cases of chronic diarrhoea, with a psoric anamnesis, Mez. will sometimes prove to be the remedy for the whole condition. It resembles Merc, somewhat, and is useful when Merc has been improperly given, and sometimes is needed after Bellad. THEIR INDICATIONS. 85 93. MURIATIC ACID. Stools: Fecal; Watery; Bloody and slimy, separated; Dark brownish-green, gelatinous ; Profuse ; Involuntary (without desire, while passing urine).

Perspiration during the first sleep before midnight, with desire to uncover. Pulse weak and slow, intermitting every third beat. Muscular weak- ness after abuse of narcotics, soothing syrups, etc. To delineate Mur. ac. further would be to give its full indications in typhoid fever, of which the diarrhoea is only an accompanying symptom. It is also highly applicable to diarrhoea with protrusion of blue or dark purple haemorrhoids, especially when occurring in feeble children, suffering from gastric atony, muscular debility and threatened marasmus. It follows well after Rhus. Bry. 94. NATRUM CARB. Stools: Yellow, fecal; Fecal; Watery or liquid; Thick mucous; Latter part tinged with blood ; Expelled with a gush (watery or liquid stool); Sour-smelling. 86 THE REMEDIES AND Aggravation : After taking milk: After eating: After taking cold: During a thunder-shoAver: After vegetables and starchy food (stomach symptoms). Amelioration : After eating (stomach symptoms). Before Stool: Cutting: Strong urging: Severe colic, with rum- bling in the abdomen. During Stool: Tenesmus: Burning at the anus.

Natr. carb. is rarely indicated in the treatment of diarrhoea, but as one of the remedies having an aggravation from milk, it may sometimes be required in chronic cases. The stomach symptoms should also correspond. 95. NATRUM MUR. Stools: Black, watery; Greenish, watery; Grayish; Like the white of an egg (without faeces) ; Bloody; Profuse; Gushing; Corrosive; Involuntary; Alternating with con- stipation. Aggravation : During the day: After farinaceous food : In hot weather: By motion. Before Stool: Rumbling in the abdomen. Wants to pass wind, but knows not whether faeces or wind escapes.

Drowsiness, with inability to sleep. Sleep restless, disturbed by dreams. Dreams that robbers are in the house. Ankles weak and turn easily. Swelling of the glands. General emaciation, most conspicuous about the neck, which is very thin and shrunken. Natrum mur. is chiefly useful for chronic diarrhoea of children, but also of older people. The emaciation of the neck, the greasy appearance of the face and the peculiar desires and aversions furnish the leading indications. 96. NATRUM SULPH. Stools: Thin, yellow, fluid; Half liquid; Yellowish-green; Gush- ing; Spattering all over the vessel; Suddenly expelled ; Slimy, light red, or bloody ; Involuntary, while passing flatus or urine; Not frequent; Often painless.

Amelioration : After breakfast and in the open air (general con- dition). Before Stool: Contractive pain in the abdomen, extending into the chest: Pinching: Pains in the groins and hypogastrium: Violent colic and rumbling.

Stitches in the region of the liver, and sensitiveness when walking in the open air Liver is swollen and sore to the touch or to any jar of the body. Con- stant uneasiness in the bowels and urging to stool. Passing of large quantities of flatus, mostly fetid. Constant desire to take a deep, long breath. 88 THE REMEDIES ANI) Panaritium. Inflammation and suppuration around the roots of the nails. The pain is better out of doors. Natr. sulph. is one of the most frequently indicated remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, Avhere the loose morning stool is the leading symptom. The flatulent symptoms are very characteristic, but not necessarily present. The tendency to " run rounds," or painful suppurations around the finger-nails, is often present, and is a strong confirmatory indication. The morning stool differs from that of Sulph. in occurring later and after rising. 97. NICCOLUM. Stools: Thin, fecal; Yellow, mucous; Coming out with force (yellow mucous). Aggravation : After taking milk: In the morning. Before Stool: Urging: Pinching: Violent cutting in abdomen. During Stool: Violent burning in anus: Stinging in the rectum : Violent urging: Tenesmus.

Much flatulence, fetid or inodorous. This remedy resembles several others in the aggravation after milk, but differs from them all in other symptoms. We have had no clinical experience with it as yet. 98. NITRIC ACID. Stools: Mucous; Green mucous; Bloody mucous; Slimy; Flakes of false membranes; Undigested; Yellowish-Avhite, fluid ; Putrid; Fetid; Acrid; Sour-smelling.

THEIR INDICATIONS. 89 During Stool: Nausea: Colic: Tenesmus: Spasmodic contraction of the anus : Cutting in the anus and rectum. After Stool: Exhaustion: Irritation, anxiety and general uneasi- ness : Soreness and rawness of the anus: Burning in the anus: Violent cutting and drawing pains in the rectum, continuing for hours. Accompaniments : Irritability or despondency. Anxiety about the disease. Vanishing of thought. Dulness of the head. Headache, aggravated by the jar and rattle of carriages on the street. Pale, yel- lowish complexion. Ulcers in the mouth and fauces. Ulcers and blisters on the lips. Scorbutic gums. Dryness of the throat. Copi- ous flow of saliva. Putrid smell from the mouth.

Debility. Intermittent pulse. Emaciation, especially of the upper arms and thighs. Enlargement of the glands. According to the published symptoms, Nitr. ac. resembles Alumina, but those symptoms are not confirmed by clinical observation. The appetite for chalk, lime and similar substances obstinately refuses to yield to this remedy, and we are glad to notice that this symptom is not found in Hahnemann's proving.—As one of the remedies having green mucous stools, it should be studied in infantile diarrhoea, partic- ularly after abuse of mercury, or in children of syphilitic parents. It has also proved serviceable in dysentery of a typhoid type, Avith diph- theritic deposit on the mucous membrane of the intestines. Compare with Hep. and Mezer. after abuse of Merc 99. NUPHAR LUTEUM. Stools: Yellow, watery; Fetid ; Painless. Aggravation : From 4 to 7 a.m.: In the evening (weakness of the limbs): During typhoid fever. Before Stool: Colic (or absence of pain).

Pale face, Avith discolored eyes. 90 THE REMEDIES AND Sweetish taste in the mouth. Pricking paius in the rectum as from needles. Weakness of the sexual organs. Sensation of weakness and loss of power in the limbs, Avorse in the evening. General exhaustion Nuphar is not a remedy of Avide range. The early morning stool, the weakness of the limbs and the general exhaustion are the leading symptoms. 100. NUX MOSCHATA. Stools: Thin, yellow (like beaten or stirred eggs); Bloody; Un- digested; Watery; Slimy; Putrid; Profuse. Aggravation: In children (girls?): In persons who take cold easily : At night: During dentition : From taking cold : From wetting the feet: In cool, damp weather: After milk: After boiled milk: After cold drinks: In the morning: During typhoid fever: During pregnancy: After eating and drinking (colic): When riding (nausea).

Great drowsiness. Torpor. Lethargy. Cool, dry skin. Disposition to faint. Great languor. In the exhausting diarrhoeas of children, accompanied by great sleepiness, and worse at night, Nux mosch. is the remedy. THEIR INDICATIONS. 91 101. NUX VOMICA. Stools: Thin, brownish, mucous; Thin, bloody, mucous; Thin, green, mucous; Dark, thin, fecal; Dark, watery; Brown, fluid; Alternat- ing with constipation ; Frequent; Small; Corrosive; Offensive; Involuntary.

Desire to sit or lie down. Sen- sitiveness to open air, or to a slight current of air. Heat, with red face and aversion to uncovering. Emaciation. Chlorosis. Nux vom. is often of first importance in dysentery, with the charac- teristic stools and immediate accompaniments. In slow fevers, with alternating constipation and diarrhoea, and in chlorosis, as well as jaun- dice, it holds an important place. In the latter affections the general symptoms, more than the stools, decide for this remedy. 92 THE REMEDIES AND Nux must not be overlooked in the treatment of diarrhoea because more often used for constipation. 102. OLEANDER. Stools: Thin, yellow, fecal; Undigested (food of the previous day); Watery; Sour; Frequent; Scanty; Involuntary (when emitting flatus). Aggravation : In the morning: In children.

Nausea and vomiting; of mucus; of sour, liquid food ; of yellowish- green, bitter water. After vomiting, ravenous hunger and thirst. Rolling and rumbling in the intestines, with emission of much flatu- lence ; of fetid flatulence like rotten eggs. Some children are much troubled with frequent soiling of the clothes when passing flatus. Oleander cures this, and also more acute attacks of involuntary and of indigested stools, as described above. It has also been found useful in the diarrhoea of tuberculous patients. 103. OPIUM. Stools : Watery ; Dark, fluid, frothy; Offensive; Involuntary. Aggravation: After fright: After sudden joy: During typhoid fever. During Stool: Burning in the anus: Tenesmus. Accompaniments : Drowsiness or sopor. Sopor, without vomiting or stool. Apathy.

Urine scanty, retained or suppressed. Slow, full pulse. Profuse sweat. Convulsions; on entering the fit, loud screams, as from fright; after the fit, sopor. THEIR INDICATIONS. 93 Fainting, worse on rising. Rapid emaciation.

Stomach very sensitive to pressure. Frequent pains and soreness about the navel. Copious urine. 105. PAULLINIA SORBILIS. ( Guarana.) Stools : Green, odorless, mucous; Profuse. Aggravation : During dentition : In summer. Accompaniments : Loss of appetite. Restlessness. Sleeplessness. Although Paullinia has been before the profession over twenty years, since its introduction by the Vienna provers, the concomitants are still almost unknoAvn. The peculiar stool, hoAvever, has often been verified in practice and must always furnish the leading indication for the use of this remedy in infantile diarrhoea. 106. PETROLEUM. Stools : Yellowish, watery; Brownish-yellow, pasty; Brown, watery; Bloody mucous; Watery and bloody, containing scrapings of the intes- tines ; 94 THE REMEDIES AND Mucous ; Green, slimy ; Profuse; Gushing.

Aversion to the open air, which causes chilliness. Restless sleep, the patient waking often, and imagining that another person lies in the same bed, or speaking of himself in the third person. The most striking symptom of Petr. is the last one mentioned above, and one that often indicates this remedy in delirious states accompanying diarrhoea (or other affections). If unable to complete the cure, it will produce a favorable change and prepare the Avay for some other remedy. It is also useful in chronic diarrhoea with the aggravations and other symptoms as given above. 107. PHOSPHORUS.

The condition and accompaniments are, however, very peculiar, and are also constant. They Avill always be present in more or less completeness when this remedy is indicated, and will render a brilliant cure almost certain if the remedy is given in a proper dose, and is not repeated after the improvement has fully begun The symptoms of Phos. are most frequently met with in chronic cases. It is often Avell to give a single dose of a high potency of Nux vom. a few hours before beginning Avith Phos., particularly in cases coming from allopathic treatment. 108. PHOSPHORIC ACID. Stools: Whitish watery; Yellow, watery, with meal-like sediment; Light, yellow, fecal; Whitish-gray, fecal; Undigested; Greenish-white mucous ; Like dirty white paint; Involuntary (while passing flatus); Painless; Very offensive.

THE HAHNEMANN PUBLISHING HOUSE, 921 Arch Street, Philadelphia. ALLE1V, DR. TIMOTHY F. The Encyclopedia of Pure Ma- teria Medica; a Record of the Positive Effects of Drugs upon the Healthy Human Organism. With contributions from Dr. Richard Hughes, of England; Dr. C. Hering, of Philadelphia; Dr. Carroll Dunham, of New York ; Dr. Adolph Lippe, of Philadelphia, and others. Ten volumes. Half morocco or sheep, $70.00. Cloth, . . $60.00 This Encyclopedia of Materia Medica, which is beyond question the most complete and extensive ever attempted in any country or language, is truly worthy of its name; for it is a work to which the homoeopathic practitioner can turn with the certainty of finding the whole pathogenetic record of every remedy ever used in Homoeopathy. Pages could be filled with notices from the medical press in acknowledgment and appreciation of its great value. " A glance at it is sufficient to show the student of materia medica the treasures it brings to hand. . . . There is abundance of fresh material for the physiological knowledge of Belladonna, Bismuth, Cannabis [etc.]. . . . Here is for the first time a full and in- telligible pathogenesis of Bromine, of Cannabis Indica, and of Carbolic Acid. . . . The gift is invaluable. We can but again tender to Dr. Allen our grateful appreciation of his la.bors."^-Beview of Vol. II in the British Journal of Homozopaihy. "With the Volumes IX and X now before us Allen's Encyclopedia op Pure Materia Medica is completed. It comprises all remedies proved or applied by Homceo- paths. With truly wonderful diligence everything has been carefully collated from the whole medical literature that could be put under contribution to Homoeopathy, thus enabling any one who wants to make a thorough study of Materia Medica, or who wants to read up a 2 Standard Homceoiwthic Publications. special remedy to find what he needs and where to look for it." . . . —From the Allegemeine Homceopathische Zcitung. ALLEN, DR. TIMOTHY F. A General Symptom Register of the Homoeopathic Materia Medica. Pp. 1,-YM. Large 8vo. Half morocco or sheep, $14.00; Cloth,............$12.00 This Index was urgently called for long before the Encyclopedia was com- pleted, and no more convincing proof of its practical value could be adduced. It need only be added that the author's promise to furnish the best arranged and most complete repertory ever attempted is more than fulfilled. The ingenious selection and arrangement of type greatly facilitates its use. " The arrangement of this Symptom Register is simple enough to make the work readily available, and, judging from a few experimental trials, we are led to deem it an exhaustive Index of the majority of the symptoms of the Encyclopedia . . . Dr. Allen has fitly crowned his long and arduous labor, and placed us all under obligations that we can never repay."—Tlie American Observer. " Every scientific practitioner in the world will heartily thank the indefatigable author for crowning his pharmaco-encyclopedic edifice so promptly with a workable repertorial index. The thing we are most thankful for is that the arrangement is strictly alphabetical. First, the part affected; second, the sensation, conditioned or modified. No fads or fancies, theories or hypotheses. Of course, everybody has a copy of the Encyclopedia, and now everybody will get a copy of the Index. We cannot pretend to review such a work. It bears every mark of care, capability, and conscientiousness, and to hunt about for specks of dirt on such a grand picture is not the kind of work for us. The only piece of advice we offer to intending purchasers is that they ask for it bound in leather, for common cloth binding, no matter how nice to the eye, soon begins to tear at the back, and becomes the source of endless annoyance. This applies, of course, to a work for frequent reference, and Allen's 'Index' is practically a dictionary to his Encyclopedia, and as such will be used many times a day."—From the Homoeopathic World.

Cloth,.......................$1.00 We give a letter of Timothy F. Allen, M. D., recommending the publica- tion of this little work : " I have carefully examined the repertory of Dr. Win. Allen, of Flushing, and assure you that it is exceedingly valuable. It should be printed in pocket form. I should use it constantly. Dr. Allen has a large experience in the treatment of intermittents, and his own observations are entitled to great respect." ..." Urged by other practitioners, he now offers to us [in the Repertory before us] the priceless fruits of his labors, and its daily use shall be our thank-offering. May it fulfill his and our own expectations."—North American Journal of Homoeopathy. Standard Homoeopathic Publications. 3 ALLEN, DR. H. C. The Therapeutics of Intermittent Fever. By H. C. Allen, M. D., of the University of Michigan. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Pp. 342. 8vo. Cloth,.........$2.75 This is the Second Edition of the author's work, which originally appeared in 1879, found a rapid sale and met with a hearty reception from the pro- fession. It has beeu very carefully revised, and to meet an evident demand to the bracketed comparison of the former edition have been added some leading characteristics of each remedy, and a complete repertory. In advance of the malarial season, the homoeopathic practitioner can furnish himself with no bet- ter or more indispensable guide than this excellent monograph, as the following quotations will testify: " And now, is it too much to say that with its full Materia Medica, its comparisons, clinical illustrations, and repertory, all in good type, it is the best work on the subject that has ever been issued ?''—A. F. Randall, M. D., in Investigator. " This work is a necessity where one has to cope with that often most discouraging of all diseases, and its careful study may insure success. You are not complete without it."— The Regular Physician. ARNDT, DR. H. R. A System of Medicine, based upon the Law of Homoeopathy. In three volumes, royal octavo. Vol. 1,960 pages; vol. II, 900 pages; vol. Ill, 990 pages. Price per volume, bound in half morocco or sheep, $8.50; the complete work, $25.50. Price, per volume, bound in cloth, $7.50; the complete work,.......$22.50 This great work has been received with unqualified praise both in Europe and America, and has been unhesitatingly pronounced the most exhaustive work of its kind in homoeopathic literature. It is gratifying to see that the result of so much labor, the combined effort of so many of the best minds in our school has not been lost upon the profession : it is now clearly demonstrated that "J. System of Medicine, Based upon the Law of Homoeopathy" will long remain a standard work in the homoeopathic school of medicine. The large demand for the work is especially encouraging, showing how many physicians realize that the books which are universally applauded are books to be bought and studied, or there will be no progress. The contents of the several volumes are as follows: Vol. I.—General Introduction—Chapter on Physical Diagnosis—Diseases of the Respiratory Organs—Diseases of the Organs of Circulation—Diseases of the Organs of Digestion. Vol. II.—Diseases of Blood-Glandular System—Diseases of Urinary Or- gans—Diseases of the Genital and Reproductive Organs—Diseases of the Nervous System—Diseases of the Organs of Locomotion. Vol. III.—Diseases of the Skin, of the Eye and Ear—Constitutional Diseases. 4 Standard Hom
