The true history of this fearful disease exhibits several varieties in men, for each of which must be given an exactly appropriate remedy ; among these Hyoscyamus is not the last. For other cases Stramonium or Bella- donna is the exact homoeopathic remedy according to the character of the attack. Belladonna has already made some complete cures, and it would have made more if other substances had not been combined with it impairing its power, and especially if it had not been given in such excessive doses, and thus at times the patient mur- dered by the remedy. Large doses of drugs which are hommopathic to a disease are far more injurious than others which have no similarity, or which have an opposite [antipathic) relation to the disease. In homoeopathic practice, lohen the totality of the symptoms of a disease is similar to the sym.ptoms of the remedy, it is certainly a crime to give doses that are not very small, indeed, as small as possible ; if, under .such circum- stances, doses are given of the size administered in the old blundering way, tliey act as real poisons and are murderous. This I declare, convinced by a thousandfold ex- perience, universally true of the exhibition of homoeopathic remedies in general, and especially when the disease is acute, but more particularly true of the use of Belladonna, Stramonium, and Hyoscyamus in hydrophobia, each according to its Digitized by Microsoft® HYOSCYAMUS. 39 Throat, Veins of the neck, extremities, and more particularly those of the face, were very much distended,'^ — [A swelling which suppurates on the left side of the neck],™.

" It has come to my knowledge that the greater part of the proving of Iberis is spuricius and imaginary, and hence before being incorporated in Allen's Materia Medica a new proving should be made. As I understand the case, the provers were informed that the remedy had a marked action on the heart, hence many imagi- nary heart symptoms. The spurious symptoms, I am told, were recorded by one Digitized by Microsoft® IBERIS. 61 1, Dr. R. C. Sabin took repeated doses of 1st dec. dil. (1 to 40 drops), (same prover took, two days later, increasing doses of the 6th dil. for five days, in ajl 2 drachms, without result); la, same took tincture, 1 to 10 drop doses ; 2, M. M. Dodge (with rheumatic pains in left shoulder) took the yijjth, 4 to 20 drop doses; 2a, same took tincture, 5 to 17 drop doses; 3, Miss Magee took 6th dil. five days without result, then 4th dil. for three days, after waiting five days took 3d dil., after waiting five days took 2d dil.

" The provings of Iberis were made under my supervision, and I have every reason to believe the majority of ihem genuine. . . . The provers were not told 'that it*had a marked action on the heart.' " . . . . E. M. Hale, U. S. Med. In- vest., N. S., 2, p. 96. III. . . . " As one of the provers of Iberis allow me to deny the imputation of having joined in a consp'iracy to perpetrate a gross fraud, etc. I pronounce the three a.ssertions (of Dr. Hoyne) to be scandalous and malicious falsehoods. . . . Prom my knowledge of Dr. Dudge, I do not hesitate to announce m\' entire confi- dence in the reliability of his proving." . . . K. C. Sabin, U. S. Med. Invest., N. S.,2, p 201. IV. The editor publishes these statements in justice to all concerned ; he wishes to add that Prof. Samuel Jones, of the Univer.^^ity of Michigan, informed him that he had failed to make the slightest impression on the heart by repeated and large doses, nor did the sphygmograph show any disturbance of the pulse. The follow- ing note is, however, adduced as collateral evidence: Anier. Jour. Med. Sci., No. '28, N. S , vol. 14, 1847, p. 4.53 (Prov. Med. and Surg. Jour., July 28th, 1847.) Dr. Sylvester communicated to the southeastern branch of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, at their last annual meeting, a paper on the virtues and properties of the Iberis amara, or Candytuft, a remedy brought to light by the late Dr Williams during a course of therapeutical researches at St. Thomas's Hospital. Many striking and remarkable cases were related in proof of its salutary power over asthma, bronchitis, dropsy, and more especially cardiac hypertrojihy. It seems that it does not dimini.sh the velocity of the heart's action like Digitalis, but that it possesses the property of controlling the violence and sharp action of the organ, and softening the pulse; hence its great value in hypertrophy with dropsy. Dr. Sylvester had prescribed it for ten years in numer- ous instances of the abovementioned diseases, always with some benefit, and some- times with almost magical efficiency. No ill effects followed its use ; it occasionally induced giddiness, sickness, or diarrhcea, but these subsided on discontinuing the medicine. Its curative power was not dependent on such occasional consequences of its administration, inasmuch as its control over the abnormal action of the heart was equally evident, whether these effects were absent or present ; its influence being like Digitalis, Belladonna, and some other natural agents, of a purely spe- cific character. The dose prescribed was from one to three grains, generally mixed with cream of tartar, which concealed the nauscousness of the taste, and secured a perfect trituration and division of the tough seed.

In a little while the forehead becomes moist, and the face more red ; then beads of perspiration appear on the forehead, cheeks, and temples. The flow of saliva increases, all the salivary glands successively contributing to this effect ; the mouth is filled with immense quantities of fluid, and expectora- tion is incessant ; at the same time perspiration covers the face and neck ; then the whole body becomes red and moist, and a pleasant warmth is ex- perienced ; in a few minutes perspiration breaks out over the whole surface, and soon runs down on all sides. Meantime other symptoms have su- pervened. The eyelids first become moist, then the lachrymal secretion gradually augments, and after collecting in the canthi, rolls slowly over the cheeks ; at the same time there is a copious discharge from the Schneiderian membrane, increased by the tears which escape through the nasal canal ; moreover, there is heightened activity of the mucous glands of the back- throat, trachea, and bronchi. All these effects reach their maximum of intensity in about three-quarters of an hour after taking the drug, con- tinuing thus for thirty or forty minutes. Lying on one side, that the saliva may run more freely, the patient spits ten or fifteen times a minute ; the flow is so rapid that he can scarcely speak ; the salivary glands are enlarged, Digitized by Microsoft® JABORANDI. 173 and the mouth becomes hotter. From time to time the mucous accumula- tions in the bronchi are cleared away by a slight cough ; the sight is dim- med by the flow of tears. The body is bathed in perspiration ; a shirt is wet through in a few moments. Now, a feeling of comfort, or of weakness, as the case may be, is experienced. Thirst is intense. The pupils are slightly contracted. By degrees the excessive activity of the secretory pro- cesses is diminished ; in an hour and a quarter, or an hour and three-quar- ters, the lachrymation, the nasal discharge, the bronchial expectoration, and finally, the flow of saliva, and the perspiration, are sensibly lessened, and the parts involved gradually return to their normal condition. When the per- spiration and flow of saliva have ceased, the subject is prostrated and drowsy. The parts which secreted so copiously are now very dry, especially the mouth and back-throat. There is also much thirst,*. — [150.] A few min- utes after it was taken there was a subjective feeling of warmth, and the face presented a more or less red appearance, and the skin felt warmer than usual. Soon afterwards the salivary glands began to pour out their se- cretion more copiously into the mouth, and then a feeling of nausea super- vened, which, however, usually disappeared in a few minutes, although in fever patients vomiting sometimes occurred. A few minutes after the com- mencement of the secretion of saliva the skin became moist, at first on the chest, and then successively on the other parts of the body, the upper ex- tremities pouring out enormous quantities of perspiration, but the lower ones being less aflTected. About an hour after the drug was given there was generally a disturbance of vision, distant objects being misty and indis- tinct, and only near ones being distinctly visible. About an hour and a half afterwards the patients complained, for the most part suddenly, of great nausea and retching, often with hiccough, and these symptoms sometimes terminated with vomiting. Three or four hours after the medicine was taken the secretion of sweat diminished and gradually disappeared, that of the tears and that from the nose had already ceased, and only the secre- tion of saliva continued, and usually only for a few minutes. The disturb- ance of vision and nausea also soon ceased, but the appetite was impaired, and the patients complained of headache. At the same time a desire for sleep often supervened, and the patients sunk into a deep slumber, lasting for several hours, and when they woke all the symptoms generally disappeared, with a few exceptions. The most striking and constant symptom in the action of Jaborandi is the hypersecretion of certain glands of the skin, and of particular mucous membranes, and the sweat-glands are chiefly called into heightened activity. The loss of fluid by the skin and lungs is estimated at about five times the natural amount. The salivary secretion is also notably increased, and likewise the tears are augmented, and the se- cretion from the nose. The eflect on the secretion of the urine is not constant, but it is clear that the amount of this fluid will be diminished under the enormous loss of water by the skin and the saliva,^'. — Increased circulation (after five minutes),". — Appeared much depressed (in one case),'". — Weari- ness (after two hours, nineteenth day),^\ — -Tried to walk about the room, but felt very weak, his legs giving way under him (after three hours and thirty-five minutes),". — Prostration of strength ; even a short walk causing weariness, hurried breathing, and palpitation of the heart; these symptoms lasted for four days (after two hours, nineteenth day),^\ — Profound collapse (in one case),™. — Attacks of faintness,™. — Restless and anxious, during the evening (eleventh day),'\ — Became restless (after five minutes),^^ — [160.] Exhausted feeling (sixteenth day),^\ Digitized by Microsoft® 174 JABORANDI.

In patients not suffering from fever the drug caused in only a very few cases some lowering of the temperature of the body, but in the fever cases, ten in number, the temperature fell in seven,''.— In each observation a decided fall in temperature occurred. In two cases accompanied by sweating the fall amounted to 1° Fahr., and in another, likewise accompanied by sweating, it reached 2.6° ; but as this observation was begun in the afternoon and continued until the evening, it is impossible to tell the proportion of the fall assignable to the medicine and to the natural diurnal fall, which in children of ten to twelve, usually begins be- tween 4 and 5 o'clock. The reduction of the temperature persisted for the rest of the day, but in the two morning observations the lowest temperature was reached in about one hour and a half after the administration of the medicine. In one case the fall began immediately ; in another case in forty minutes; in another instance in eighty minutes. In the lad whose skin re- mained unperspiring, there was a fall of 0.6°, which, beginning forty-five minutes after the administration of the medicine, lasted ■only two hours and a half,". — The temperature was not taken, but the depression was never very great; but I began to shiver (after three-quarters of an hour),". — In taking his temperature 98.5°, he was obliged to uncover himself, and immediately felt cold, with horripilation and griping in the bowels, as after a purge, but there was no movement.

I noticed that increased burning and itching were always asso- ciated with aggravation and extension of the tetter, so that always a few hours after increased burning and itching a new eruption of vesicles and a larger extent of redness became apparent ; during the succeeding month the same trouble broke out in the left axilla but did not become so violent ; another month later a small furuncle appeared on the shoulder (on the coracoid process), suppurated and healed after a few days ; ten days after- wards a very large and painful furuncle appeared over the biceps muscle, about two inches from the elbow ; it was surrounded by a circumscribed redness and induration ; it ripened after ten days and discharged much bloody matter and speedily healed ; after still another month there ap- peared two red spots on the right elbow-joint, which itched violently, and upon which there developed a small yellow pustule ; these both disappeared after eight days. At this time the tetter in the axillse had not entirely healed ; in the right axilla there was almost nothing to be seen, in the left there appeared a new eruption of small burning vesicles, which afterwards formed a red moist spot ; perspiration aggravated the burning and moisture very much, so that the shirt over a large space was stained yellow and stiffened ; about this time there also appeared on the right side between the ninth and tenth rib another furuncle, with decided induration and violent pain, which ran a course of nine days and discharged some bloody matter, leaving an induration for a long time. About this time a red spot appeared on the arm, not far from the seat of the second furuncle, continuing to en- large for ten days, becoming rather hard, something like a small cystic tumor or indurated gland, but quite painless ; at this time there also ap- peared on the left instep and afterwards on the right (though here in a less degree) a peculiar skin-affection, a redness of the size of a half dollar, with itching and eruption of small vesicles, leaving behind a small hard scurf, whereby the whole place became elevated and very painful ; the small scabs especially caused violent pain, since they were pressed in by the boot and rubbed off, so that the part became raw and was prevented from healing. This distressing trouble lasted for a month, after which it gradually disap- peared, though the spot remained of a bluish-red color, thickish and swollen, for a long time,''.

A partial eruption, resembling both acne simplex and indurata; preceded by considerable itching ; appearing chiefly on the chest and face, especially on the shoulders, forehead, and nose. It consists of bluish-red pustules, scarcely as large as a pin's head, with a red areola, and soon becoming yellowish-white at the tips. Their bases are quite hard, and continue so for several days, sometimes for a month, when they Digitized by Microsoft® 276 KALI BROMATUM. suppurate, leaving a firm nucleus and deep-red flush, with a slight swelling, which are of long continuance. The number of pustules is extremely variable, increasing chiefly with the dose. Certain conditions of the skin, as when it is thick and plentifully moistened by an oily secretion, seem to promote the spread of this eruption, and lymphatic and sanguine constitu- tions are especially liable to it. It is also more abundant in youth and adult age. At these periods it sometimes even covers the whole face, to its great disfigurement. The duration of the pustules is also very variable, eight days, more or less ; depending uniformly on the continuance of large doses ; thus, when an extensive acne eruption has arisen from doses of 5 grammes or over, the number of pustules will be sensibly lessened if the dose be reduced to 3 grammes. II. The second species of Bromine erup-. tion bears no resemblance to any other affection of the skin. It is confined almost wholly to the lower extremities, where it appears in the form of oblong or circular patches, several centimetres in diameter, with mamil- lated edges, and generally rose-colored or cherry-red, but spotted yellow, as if from subcutaneous purulent infiltration. Its favorite situation is the calf of the leg, as is shown even in cases of repeated relapse. In two patients who were each attacked three or four times, the eruption always appeared in this locality. The central portion, as well as the borders of the patches is sometimes mamillated, the projections, in this case, being formed by acne-like pustules, so closely aggregated as to amount to a swelling; they rise to a height of 3 or 4 millimetres, and their bases are indurated ; the projections, in a few days, partially collapse, their tips dis- charging a sero-purulent fluid. The centre of each pustule then presents an unibilicated depression, exuding a creamy moisture, which dries with thick yellow scabs. These projections are extremely sensitive to contact, and sometimes render walking impossible. It is worthy of note, that their depressed, central portion, on the contrary, is quite insensible and devoid of pain. They are surrounded by a reddish areola, with some tumefac- tion. They collapse on the escape of their contents, but this process is extremely slow, and the discharge, which may continue for a year, easily gives rise to thick and tenacious scabs. The eruption is sometimes exceed- ingly obstinate, being kept up by the successive appearance of fresh clusters of pustules, with the resulting mamillations. I have seen two cases in which the swellings on the legs changed into atonic ulcers, resembling rupia, and having foul-smelling, reddened bases, covered with vegetation. Pressure on these ulcers caused a pain like tliat felt in cuts on the fingers. They afterwards became covered with thick, dirty-yellow, offensively smell- ing scabs. In one case, the ulcers lasted three months, and in the other seven months. I have never noticed any sympathetic swelling of the glands, or fever. When these eruptive swellings, and this ulceration are cured, they leave behind them indelible traces in the shape of yellow spots covered with scabs; at first, nuclei can be felt in the subcutaneous cellular tissue, and in the vicinity of these the patients are troubled with itching, and even pain and cramps. Generally, the eruption disappears in not over four to six days after stopping the remedy. Only a few days are usually required for the complete development of the tumefactions. Their dura- tion varies, of course, with the size of the dose, but it would appear, from what I have observed in patients, that it is longer in the case of those con- stitutionally subject to cutaneous diseases, especially herpes. One patient, belonging to this class, continued to be troubled with several of these swellings on his legs after the dose had been brought down to 2 grammes. Digitized by Microsoft® KALI BROMATUM. 277 I have observed that the eruption is of more frequent occurence in winter. III. The third species of Bromine eruption is that which is least frequently- observed. I have seen only three cases. It consists of slightly elevated, flat, smooth, red patches, of different shapes, long or oblong, with regular or uneven borders ; from 4 millimetres to 2 centimetres in diameter, and varying equally in length ; in one case, they measured 6 centimetres. They are of the color called " onion-peel " in the centre, cherry-red at the circum- ference, and these colors extend over a considerable space. They are very slightly raised, like patches of urticaria. Their bases are firm but elastic, as in erythema nodosum, which this eruption very closely resembles in the shape of the patches, their hardened bases, and their partial reappearance when rubbed. Their redness momentarily vanishes on pressure. They become white by contracting the underlying muscles, or compressing the adjacent parts. They itch at uight, in bed, and in a high temperature ; and are nearly or quite painless when pressed upon. Their appearance is preceded by itching and pains in the limbs, with a sort of stiffness. These preliminary symptoms have been, in some cases, so severe as to confine the patient to his bed for four days before the eruption became visible. In one case, motion of any limb was very painful. The patches appear on the extremities and trunk, avoiding the face, and number from four or five, to twelve or fifteen, on each limb. They vanish as suddenly as they came, but always leave behind them the subcutaneous induration. In one case, the lower halves of both inferior extremities were affected, for four days, with a well-marked oedematous swelling. In a single instance, I observed an unmistakable febrile reaction, as shown by a bodily temperature of 38.2° (Cent.), dry skin and accelerated pulse (92 to 104). This lasted five days, and was succeeded by a profuse perspiration. In two cases only there was coated tongue and loss of appetite. I have never known this eruption to appear except in winter. Its duration was twelve days when accompanied with fever, and in other cases six months; declining, during the latter period, from its first intensity, but never entirely going off until the advent of the warm season. For days or even weeks, after the disappearance of the eruption, and of all redness, elastic indurations, slightly painful on pressure, could be felt in the corresponding portions of the subcutaneous tissue. A yellowish discoloration, resembling ecchymosis, was .visible in one ease, on the former seat of one of the patches. The appearance of this eruption was always coincident with the prolonged exhibition of the remedy in quite large doses. IV. Several of my patients were attacked with a moist eczema of the legs, and very extensive pityriasis of the scalp. This kind of eczema is only cured by giving the medicine at longer intervals, or stopping it altogether,**'. — Affections of the skin seem to be especially seated in the sebaceous follicles and glands and in the sudoriferous glands, causing inflammation with an increase of the cellular elements ; in one case the exanthema assumed a furuncular character, especially seated on the hairy portions of the face, on the forehead and neck ; in another case, in a child of eighteen months, the eruption affected the forehead and ex- tremities, and consisted of scattered pimples, partly of a dull whitish, and partly of a pale reddish color, from the size of milletseeds to that of peas, which on being opened exuded pus mixed with smegma ; on the left lower leg there was also a swelling of the size of a half dollar, covered by a tense mottled epidermis, surrounded by a red infiltrated margin, which on being opened exuded smegma and pus ; on the cheeks there were spots as large as a ten-cent piece covered with black crusts, which being removed showed Digitized by Microsoft® 278 KALI BROMATUM. a pale red papillary swelling, which bled easily when touched, and seemed to be formed by the stoppage of the sebaceous follicles and distended by masses of smegma,"". — Acuminated itching, burning spots, in the skin, especially in the shoulder and in the region of the neck, showing some similarity to acue,". — Some scattered acne pimples with yellow tips,°l — Acne,''^ — (Dr. C. had seen an obstinate long-continued acne disappear entirely while the drug was being taken for a nervous affection),". — [390.] Acne on the forehead,''^ — An eruption appeared on the face and legs, which quickly became copious and very painful ; it was like varicella, but the vesicles instead of drying up, became in many places confluent, and the clusters thus formed showed a tendency to enlarge, and exhibited numerous points of suppuration (after six days) ; a band of eruption up each side of the face and across the forehead, while the front and outer side of each leg were covered with it from knee to ankle. On the face it consisted of irreg- ularly circular, elevated, flattened, light-brown crusts, varying in size from a pea to a fourpenny piece, surrounded by slightly red areolae, and so ad- herent that they could not be removed without causing bleeding. On the legs, the skin between and around the spots was vividly red, exquisitely tender, hot and painful, the pain being of a burning, tingling character. Movement of the legs caused very severe pain ; the smallest spots, which were also the most recent, consisted of circular elevated conical vesicles, filled with a milky-white semifluid matter, and seated on a slightly elevated hardened base ; the largest spots were from one to two inches long, irreg- ularly oval or oblong, elevated, flattened on the surface, and covered with flaccid moist cuticle, or light-brown crusts, under which the surface pre- sented "numerous milletseed-like yellowish-red prominences." [Dr. C. was convinced that it was a severe and confluent acne excited by the medi- cine.] The eruption began by a minute red, hot and tender pimple, on the summit of which there very quickly formed a small yellowish-white tense conical vesicle pierced by a hair; if the vesicle were ruptured and gentle pressure applied, a smooth yellowish-white substance was obtained, which proved to be sebaceous matter with the bulbous root of the hair ; if the vesicle were let alone, it rapidly enlarged, and then was found to contain pus. The crusts of the older spots were partially dissolved by ether, which, on drying, left a greasy stain, while the remaining portion of the crust was found to consist of epithelium and damaged blood-cells and pus-corpuscles. When the eruption had, after seven weeks, nearly died away, the medicine was again given in full doses; and on the sixth day, the eruption began to come out very actively, most on the legs, movement being again very pain- ful,^''. — Acne does not always appear after taking the drug ; I should say that two-thirds of the persons to whom I have given it continuously suf- fered from acne ; I do not recollect ever to have seen it follow a single dose; the number and continuance of the eruption are variable; in some individuals it is sparse and each pustule is small ; in others it is abundant, and many of the pustules are large ; it affects the face, scalp, and back, rather than other parts of the cutaneous surface ; the pustules appear in successive, but irregular, crops ; they vary in size from a milletseed to a large pea ; generally they disappear without suppuration, each individual pustule lasting only a few days ; in some cases, suppuration occurs ; when this takes place, each pustule lives longer than it otherwise would, and as new pustules are constantly cropping out, the eruption may become un- pleasantly copious ; a moderate degree of heat with some itching usually attends the eruption, but this is not invariable ; no permanent scar or mark Digitized by Microsoft® KALI BEOMATUM. 279 remains after the disappearance of the pustules, though a red spot points out where they have been for some time after their departure,■'^ — Numerous acne-like eruptions on the cheeks and forehead (after one month),"'. — Ery- thema and swelling of the nose ; at least in one case this appeared to be its constant action ; and in the experience of those who have given the drug largely, an ecthymatous eruption,". — Patches and pimples on both forearms,'''. — Eruption of red patches on the legs; pains in and around them ; they are mostly about 1 centimetre in breadth, some about the calf are as large as 4 centimetres ; the redness disappears on pressure, but re- turns immediately ; the lightest pressure is painful.

The patches are of different sizes, irregular in shape, cherry-red on their circumference, onion-peel colored in their centre ; they look like urticaria. They turn white on exerting the affected limb, or pressing on the surrounding parts. Pressure causes the momentary disap- pearance of the redness.

The patch rises to the height of from 0.003 m. to 0.004 m., is almost circular, and measures 0.025 m. in height, and 0.02 m. in breadth. Upon the right cheek is a very similar eruption, but not so far advanced ; it is formed of vesicles and yellowish white pustules grouped in an exact circle around a cherry-red place where the skin is somewhat raised and flabby, as in essera ; this patch is surrounded by a deep erythematous flush to a maximum breadth of 0.003 mm.

CARD FROM THE EDITOR OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PURE MATERIA MEDICA. With Lycopodium end the contributions of Dr. Dunham. Early in the work he proffered his aid to the editor, especially in the matter of verifying symptoms ; later we most gladly accepted his generous help in the revision of some of the translations. Since his death a critical German scholar has been engaged to assist in this work. Dr. Lippe has now, at considerable sacrifice, undertaken to go over all the MS. and add his stars, so that the observations of Dr. Dunham to the end of Lycopodium, and those of Dr. Lippe from Manganura on, clearly illustrate the application of a pure symptomatology. The following list of Dr. Dunham's verifications will be most highly prized by all.
