ডাঃ নরেন্দ্রনাথ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় এর “ঔষুধ পরিচয়” বই থেকে
অ্যাগারিকাস মাসকেরিয়াস
অ্যাগারিকাসের প্রথম কথা — অঙ্গ-প্রত্যঙ্গের নর্তন, স্পন্দন বা আক্ষেপ ৷
মেরু-মজ্জা, মস্তিষ্ক এবং স্নায়ুকেন্দ্রের দুর্বলতাবশতঃ অ্যাগারিকাসের বুদ্ধিবৃত্তি যেমন স্ফূর্তি লাভ করে না, অঙ্গ-প্রত্যঙ্গের গতিবিধিও তেমনই বাধ্যবাধকতার বাহিরে চলিয়া যায়। ফলে অ্যাগারিকাসের রোগী যখন চলিতে চায় তখন কোথায় পা দিতে কোথায় পা দিয়া ফেলে, যখন কিছু ধরিতে চায় তখন হাতের আঙ্গুলগুলি হঠাৎ এমন ভাবে বাঁকিয়া যায় বা অবশ হইয়া পড়ে যে হাত হইতে তাহা পড়িয়া গিয়া ভাঙ্গিয়া যায়; তিরস্কার করিলে সময় সময় সে হাসিতে থাকে, সময় সময় সে ভীষণ রাগিয়া যায়। হাটিতে শিখিতে বা কথা কহিতেও তাহার বিলম্ব হয়। অতএব বুদ্ধিবৃত্তির খর্বতা এবং অঙ্গ-প্রত্যঙ্গের নর্তন, আক্ষেপ বা স্পন্দন অ্যাগারিকাসের শ্রেষ্ঠ পরিচয়। ভবিষ্যদ্বাণী করিতে থাকে, কবিতা বলিতে থাকে । নর্তন, স্পন্দন জাগ্রত অবস্থাতেই প্রকাশ পায়, নিদ্রাকালে পায় না । অ্যাগারিকাসের রোগী একটু স্থূলকায় হয় ।
অ্যাগারিকাসের দ্বিতীয় কথা— মেরুদণ্ডের স্পর্শকাতরতা। অ্যাগারিকাসের রোগীর মেরুদণ্ডের উপর সামান্য একটু চাপ দিলে সে চমকাইয়া ওঠে। নিজেও যখন সে নড়াচড়া করে তখনও খুব সন্তর্পণে তাহা করিতে বাধ্য হয় কারণ অতি অল্পেই সে মেরুদণ্ডে আঘাত পায় ৷ স্তনের দুধ বাধা প্রাপ্ত হইয়া মেরুদণ্ড বা মস্তিষ্ক-প্ৰদাহ । গাত্র বা ত্বকে ঠাণ্ডা বা গরম সূচিবিদ্ধবৎ অনুভূতি।
অ্যাগারিকাসের তৃতীয় কথা – আড়াআড়ি ভাবে রোগাক্রমণ— বাম উর্ধ্বাঙ্গ ও নিম্ন দক্ষিণাঙ্গ আক্রান্ত হয় । পক্ষান্তরে দক্ষিণ বাহু ও বাম পদ আক্রান্ত হয় (মেডো, ফস ) । স্নায়বিক দুর্বলতাজনিত অঙ্গ- প্রত্যঙ্গের অসংযত ভাব বা নর্তন, কম্পন মনে রাখিবেন ।
ঠাণ্ডা বাতাস সহ্য করিতে পারে না । গর্ভাবস্থায় পদদ্বয়ে পক্ষাঘাত । প্রৌঢ়া স্ত্রীলোকদের ঋতুবন্ধের পর জরায়ুর শিথিলতা বা স্থানচ্যুতি । উদ্ভেদ চাপা পড়িয়া মৃগী । নিদ্রাকালে আক্ষেপ থাকে না !
কবিতা আবৃত্তি করিতে থাকে—ভবিষ্যদ্বাণী করিতে থাকে। বাচাল।
অ্যাগারিকাসের চতুর্থ কথা—দেহে গরম বা ঠাণ্ডা সুচিবিদ্ধবৎ অনুভূতি (ন্যাকারাম ল্যাকটিস ) ।
মদ্যপান বা বীর্যক্ষয় হেতু স্নায়বিক দুর্বলতা। দেহে গরম বা ঠাণ্ডা হুচিনিদ্ধবৎ অনুভূতি ও মেরুদণ্ডের স্পর্শকাতরতা মনে রাখিবেন ।
ইহা থাইসিসের পুর্বাবস্থায় বিশেষ উপযোগী (অবশ্য লক্ষণ মিলিলে) ; পুরাতন কাশি ও পুঁজের মত শ্লেষ্মা, নাড়ী দুর্বল, অসমান। সন্ধ্যাকালে বুকের মধ্যে ধড়ফড় ভাব । শিশুদের সবুজবর্ণ দুর্গন্ধযুক্ত উদরাময় । বর্ষাকালে বৃদ্ধি। যেখানে চুল সেইখানেই চুলকানি ( একজিমা ) । স্ত্রীলোকদের স্তনের দুধ হঠাৎ বন্ধ হইয়া শরীরের অন্তত্র রোগাক্রমণ ; প্রত্যেকবার গর্ভাবস্থায় পদদ্বয়ের পক্ষাঘাত ।
অ্যাগারিকাস মাস্ক – অত্যন্ত ছটফটে স্বভাব, ক্রমাগত হাত হইতে জিনিষপত্র পড়িয়া যায়, কোন না কোন অঙ্গের অবিরত সঞ্চালন বা নর্তনরোগ, অতিরিক্ত শুক্রক্ষয় হেতু মেরুদণ্ডের দুর্বলতা, মেরুদণ্ডে কোনরূপ চাপ বা স্পর্শ সহ্য হয় না। এমন কি নড়িতে গেলেও মেরুদণ্ডে আঘাত লাগে, শরীরের বাম ঊর্ধ্বাঙ্গ এবং দক্ষিণ নিম্নাঙ্গ আক্রান্ত হয়, ঠাণ্ডা বাতাস সহ্য হয় না । চর্মরোগ চাপা পড়িয়া মুগী। বয়স্কা স্ত্রীলোকদিগের চিরদিনের মত ঋতু বন্ধ হইবার পর জরায়ুর শিথিলতা ।

AGARICUS MUSCARIUS- AMANITA
এই ছত্রাকটির ভিতর নানাপ্রকারের বিষাক্ত যৌগিক পদার্থ আছে, এইগুলির মধ্যে সব থেকে উল্লেখযােগ্য হল মাসক্যারিন। এটির বিষক্রিয়ার লক্ষণ সঙ্গে সঙ্গে প্রকাশ পায়। না, সাধারণতঃ ১২ থেকে ১৪ ঘন্টা পর প্রাথমিক লক্ষণ প্রকাশ পায়। এই ঔষধটির কোন। ক্রিয়া নাশক নেই, বিষক্রিয়ার কোন চিকিৎসাও নেই, সম্পূর্ণ লক্ষণভিত্তিক (গ্লিডার)। এগারিকাস মস্তিষ্কের উপর মাদকের ন্যায় কাজ করে এবং মদের থেকে বেশি মাত্রায়। মাথাঘােরা ও তৈরী করে থাকে, এর পরে গাঢ় নিদ্রাভাব দেখা দেয় এবং শরীরের প্রতিক্রিয়ার ক্ষমতা কমে আসে।
আঁকুনি, পেশীর সঙ্কোচন, কঁপা ও চুলকানি এই ঔষধের শক্তিশালী লক্ষণ। যক্ষ্মা রােগের প্রাথমিক অবস্থা;টিউবারকিউলাস ধাতুদোষের সঙ্গে সম্পর্কযুক্ত, তৎসহ রক্তাল্পতা, নর্তনােগ, ঘুমের সময় পেশীর সঙ্কোচন বন্ধ থাকে। বিভিন্ন ধরনের স্নায়ুশূল ও আপেক্ষিক উপসর্গ ও স্নায়ুঘটিত চর্মরােগ এই জাতীয় রােগের ছবি এই ঔষধের লক্ষণের সম্পর্ক আছে, কিন্তু রক্তাধিক্যের কারণে প্রকাশিত লক্ষণের সঙ্গে এই ঔষধের লক্ষণের বিশেষ কোন সম্পর্ক দেখা যায় না। যেমন জ্বরের বিকার অবস্থা, মদ খাওয়া অবস্থা প্রভৃতি। সার্বিক পক্ষাঘাত। রােগীর মনে হয় বরফের সুঁচ ফোটানাে হচ্ছে। চাপ ও ঠাণ্ডা বাতাস সহ্য হয় না। নিচের দিকে কিছু ঠেলে বেরিয়ে আসার ন্যায় তীব্র বেদনা। লক্ষণ কোনাকুনি ভাবে প্রকাশ পায় যেমন, ডানদিকের বাহু, বামদিকের পা। সবরকম যন্ত্রণার সঙ্গে ঠাণ্ডাভাব আষ্টতা ও সুড়সুড়ভাব থাকে।
মন – গান করে, কথা বলে কিন্তু উত্তর দেয় না। বাচালতা। কাজে অনিচ্ছা। উদাসীনতা। ভয়শূন্যতা। গান করা, চীকার করা এবং বিড়বিড় করে বকা হল প্রলাপের চারিত্রিক বৈশিষ্ট্য;কবিতা বলা এবং ভবিষ্যতবাণী করা প্রলাপ বকা হইতােলার সঙ্গে শুরু হয়।
ঔষধটির প্রভিংস থেকে মানসিক উত্তেজনার চারটি অবস্থার কথা জানা যায়। যথা,
(১) সামান্য উত্তেজনায় – দেখা যায় প্রচণ্ড মানসিক আনন্দ, বর্ধিত উৎসাহ, বাচালতা, উল্লাস সম্পর্কিত মানসিক কল্পনা।
(২) অতিরিক্ত মাদকতা – তীব্র মানসিক উত্তেজনা এবং অসংলগ্ন কথা বলে, পৰ্য্যায়ক্রমে তীব্র মানমূলক আয়তনের বিচার ক্ষমতার লােপ পাওয়া, বড়াে বড়াে পা ফেলে হাঁটে, ছােট বস্তুর উপর দিয়ে লাফিয়ে যায়, যেন ঐগুলি কোন গাছের গুঁড়ি, একটি ছােট গর্ত, একটি ভয়াবহ ফাটল বলে মনে হয়, সামান্য এক চামচ জল, মনে হয় একটি বড়াে হ্রদ বিশেষ। এই অবস্থায় গায়ের জোর বেড়ে যায়, অনায়াসে অতিরিক্ত ভার যুক্ত বস্তু তুলে ফেলে। এরই সাথে পেশীর সঙ্কোচন দেখা যায়।
(৩) তৃতীয় দশা–এক প্রকার ভয়াবহ প্রলাপ দেখা দেয়, তীব্রচীকার করে, ক্রোধােন্মত্ত উক্তি, নিজেকে আঘাত করতে চায় প্রভৃতি।
(৪) চতুর্থ দশা – মানসিক বিষন্নতা, ক্লান্তি, উদাসীনতা, মানসিক ভ্রান্তি, কাজ করতে অনিচ্ছা প্রভৃতি। এখানে আমরা বেলেডােনার মত তীব্র মানসিক উত্তেজনা পাইনা কিন্তু এক্ষেত্রে একটি সার্বিক স্নায়বিক উত্তেজনা ভাব দেখতে পাই, যা প্রকাশ পায় মাতালের ন্যায় প্রলাপ বকাতে, জ্বরের সময় প্রলাপ বকা প্রভৃতিতে।
মাথা – সূৰ্য্যালােকে মাথা ঘােরা এবং হাঁটা চলা করলে। মাথা সব সময় নড়ে। পিছন দিকে পড়ে যায়, যেন মনে হয় মাথায় পিছনের অংশে ভারী কোন বস্তু আছে। মাথার একদিকে যন্ত্রণা, যেন পেরেক ফুটে আছে। (কফিয়া, ইগ্নেশিয়া) বহুসময় ধরে। —টেবিলে বসে কাজ করার পর মাথায় অস্বস্তিকর বেদনা। বরফের ন্যায় ঠাণ্ডা অনুভূতি, অনেকটা বরফের সূচ বা গোঁজ বিদ্ধ করারন্যায় অনুভূতি। স্নায়বিক বেদনা তৎসহ বরফের

AMANITA or AGARICUS MUSCARIUS [Agar]
+ Fly Fungus. Nat order, Fungi.
Introduction
One of the most poisonous fungi known as Agaricus muscarius, abused by Asiatic tribes of savages in the form of a real intoxicating drink, the effects of which have been reported by many travelers.
The usual name of “Agaricus” given by Linnee is too vague.
Persoon and Fries have split this Linnean genus into seven families, and the numerous species received 44 different generic names, of which Amanita is one. Before long we may have a few remedies introduced on account of their essential difference in effect.
First proved by Schreter and E.Stapf, and published by the latter in 1828. Hahnemann and his students’ proving was published in the Archives, 1830, with some toxic symptoms.
In 1831 the best proving of all, that of Apelt, was published in connection with many reliable provings on the sick, and some valuable cured symptoms.
In the same year Hartlaub published in the third volume of his Materia Medica two provings by very trustworthy men, Drs.Woost and Seidel, with some of the observations by travelers in Asia.
In 1835 Hahnemann incorporated it in the second edition of his Chronic Diseases as one of the antipsorics, adopting only 715 symptoms.
In 1859 in Clotar Muller’s Quarterly, vol.x., p.217 to 260, a so- called critical review was made; it is enough to say that nearly every symptom there condemned to be stricken out has been confirmed by the Vienna provings published since; in the list of toxic symptoms, given with the great pretension, one of the main sources was overlooked, the report of Langsdorf (therefore not in Allen), and 15 symptoms of it belong to an entirely different Agaricus.
In 1869, Zlatarowich published the provings of the Vienna Society, undertaken with great zeal and courage. We may say Amanita has suffered an overproving similar to what our Thuja and Lycopodium had to undergo.
An addition has been made of Th. Ruckert’s essay, comparing the symptoms of this remedy with the symptoms of incipient tuberculosis; they are marked.

Atropine is said to be antagonistic to Muscarine, but they both, when topically used, dilate the pupil.
Muscarine is very similar to Pilocarpine (jaborandi) since both cause arrest of heart’s action; profuse sweat; salivation, lachrymation; contracted pupils, etc. Muscarine acts more on lachrymal glands, less on sweat and salivary glands; Pilocarpine causes more urging to urinate. Muscarine, given internally, contracts pupil more than Pilocarpine; used topically, only the former dilates the pupil. Gels. is here similar to Muscarine.
Follow well: Bell., Calc-c., Merc., Opium, Puls., Rhus-t. and Sil.
Acted well after Dulc., Phos-ac., Puls., and Cupr had failed.
Chronic diarrhoea.
Cured where Bell., Stram. and Hyos. failed. Clonic spasms of eyes.

Agar
By Dr. Prakash Shinde
A farmer, male, aged 28 years married came on 20/7/93 with the complaints of:
Stiffness in back, right upper extremity and left lower extremity. Intermittent twitching at cervical region. Pain at spine aggravated lying on back, touch and relief by movement. Sometimes vertigo if he moves in bright sunlight. Vague stitching pains at liver and spleen. Occasional burning in stomach. Sleep disturbed with frequent waking.
All above symptoms were aggravated in cold air and on eating. Burning, itching, redness over skin when exposed to cold air. Built slim, thin.
Has been examined by a physician and psychiatrist in the past. The above symptoms started when he was about 15 years of age and progressed gradually to this disabled state.
Habits Occasional alcohol since last 3 years to give relief to his sufferings. However he agrees that the condition has worsened since he has started consuming alcohol. Cigarettes- About 4 to 5 per day. While further questioning him about his symptoms he told me that he had a peculiar habit of looking for different types of sharp weapons wherever he went. He had revengeful plans in his mind.
Family History and family background: – Father died (alcoholic) before his birth. He has a mother, uncle, aunt, all well but very much worried about his ill health. His visits to weaponry shops for enquiry of sharp weapons was much disturbing to them with the thought that he would one day commit suicide so a psychiatrist was approached but the efforts were in vain.
This outstanding fascination towards sharp weapons is taken as a Key to unlock his health status & when I referred Kents repertory I was glad to see one rubric Plans revengeful page 69 Kent having solitary drug, Agaricus M. Even other symptoms were matching with drug picture of Agar mus.
20/07/93 Agaricus 200 BD x 7 days
27/07/93 No improvement Agaricus 1M, 1 dose.
03/08/93 No improvement Agar 50M, 1 dose.
10/08/93 No improvement Agar CM, 1 dose.
20/08/93 No improvement Agar 1M, 1BD x 5 days
27/08/93 Cervical twitching reduced. Pain between scapulae reduced to 10% Complaints reduced after 10 days.
07/07/93 Status quo, Agar 1M BD x 7 days.
14/09/93 Complaints 20% improvement. No medicine.
30/09/93 Status quo, Agar 1M BD x 10 days.
10/10/93 Patient feeling better. His attraction towards weapons had reduced, No medicine.
20/10/93 Improvement, No medicine
05/11/93 Status quo Agar 50 M OD x 5 days.
15/11/93 Feels better, Agar CM 1 dose.
15/12/93 80% relief, No medicine.
Since then the patient has not returned till today at my consultation for any complaint. The patient had no family problems except the death of his father before his birth and that he was brought up in a poor farmer class. There was no history of rivalry regarding land and property as he was the only son.
No H/o any quarrels in the past or any annoying circumstances; still his outstanding attraction towards weapons, that too sharp weapons and his revengeful plans in spite of his ill health gave a picture of super active mind withthoughts of violence with very bad physique was the key to his drug picture. Were his revengeful thoughts anything to do with his past life?
Editors comments: – Again one strong mental symptom taken as the essence of this mans pathology has helped this patient considerably.

By DR. PIERRE SCHMIDT. Geneva.
[Dr. Schmidts article will be of particular interest to readers because he is one of the leading high potency men. He uses almost exclusively high and the very highest potencies in very infrequent doses, following the examples of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, whose favourite potency was the 30th.– J.E.B.].
I WOULD warn the readers of this article not to jump to the conclusion that the remedy which I have successfully employed for some disease or other can safely be used in the hope of success in every case of the same disease. Diseases should be treated not in accordance with their names, but in accordance with the totality of symptoms of the patient. In giving the briefest summary of days work, I wish merely to show the all- sufficiency of the homoeopathic law and the fact that interesting and valuable results may be obtained by acting in accordance with that law. I would mention that Hahnemann published only a very few cures of his own because he wished to prevent his followers from acting mechanically and prescribing for the names of diseases instead of for the totality of symptoms, irrespective of the official designation of the complaint treated.
ACUTE COLIC ORIGINATING IN THE LIVER– Cured by three doses of Belladonna 200th potency in a few hours.
WHITLOW OF THE FINGER. — Very painful, was treated with a dose of Anthracinum 200th potency, and then with Hepar sulphuris 1000th, and is rapidly getting well.
ASTHMA.– A clergyman who had suffered for several years from this disease was rapidly improved with Natrum sulphuricum in doses which were gradually raised from the 1,000th potency to 500,000th potency.
ANAEMIA OF PRE-TUBERCULOUS CHARACTER.– A young girl, who suffered from this complaint, combined with very painful menstruation, was greatly relieved with Pulsatilla in the 10,000th potency.
APOPLEXY.– A man of 50 had had two apoplectic strokes followed by complete paralysis of the left side. His condition was greatly improved and he was enabled to walk almost normally and to speak, with a few doses of Phosphorus, one in the 1,000th potency, followed by a dose in the 10,000th potency and one in the 50,000th potency with an interval of from five to seven weeks between each dose. During eleven months there has been no relapse. There were two crises which occurred with an interval of three weeks.
- VITUS DANCE.– This disease in a backward girl of 15 years who had not yet menstruated and had a very thick neck, was greatly improved with the help of Agaricus followed by Cuprum and then by Calcarea silicata, all in high dilutions.
PERIODIC HEADACHES.– A lady of 45 with this trouble is doing well with Nux vomica 10,000th and higher.
ECZEMA ALL OVER THE BODY AND ACUTE ARTHRITIS.– A lady in this condition, 44 years old, is doing well, having received a dose of Arsenic in the 1,000th potency, and another dose in the 50,000th potency.
INFLAMMATION OF THE TESTICLES.– This trouble, combined with varicocele and neurasthenia, in the case of a young man of 20 was wonderfully improved in less than a month after two years sufferings from these complaints. He was given Arsenicum in the 1,000th potency.
SPASMS OF THE OESOPHAGUS.– A youth of 12 suffered from spasms of the swallowing tube, which caused him to vomit his food. His condition was greatly improved by a dose of Sulphur in the 1,000th potency, followed by Lachesis in the 10,000th potency.
MIND AFFECTION AT THE CHANGE OF LIFE.– A lady, 40 years old, suddenly had the sensation that she was living in a different world. Everything around her seemed strange to her, she knew no longer where she was and she suffered mental agonies in consequence. She was cured in a few months with Medorrhinum given consecutively in the 1,000th, the 10,000th and 50,000th potency.
TUMOUR OF THE BREAST.– A lady of 38 was cured of a breast tumour with Silica, but other tumours appeared afterwards in the other breast.
ASTHMA. A lady, 42 years old, had been suffering for eight years from asthma. She was cured in a month with a dose of Arsenic in the 1,000th potency, followed by Arsenic in the 10,000th potency, and the cure has remained for two years.
ASTHMA.– A girl of 15 with asthma is at present being treated and her condition has been greatly improved with Syphilinum 200the potency.
SYRINGOMYELIA.– A young man, suffering from this disease of the spinal cord was wonderfully improved and nearly cured in the course of six months with Phosphorus in the 1,000th and the 10,000th potency.
HAEMORRHAGE AND FIBROID TUMOUR AT THE CHANCE OF LIFE.– The haemorrhage and all other disagreeable symptoms were cured in the course of a year with Lachesis, followed by Phosphorus, both given in high potencies.
NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.– A young girl, who suffered from neurasthenia owing to sorrow caused by a love affair, was cured in three weeks with Ignatia in the 10,000th.
NERVOUS FEARS.– A lady of 54, who suffered because she feared to meet people, to go into crowds, and to go out because she dreaded that she would not be able to find a public convenience, was cured in six months with Sulphur in the 1,000th potency.
SWALLOWING TROUBLE.– A child of 2 was brought to me and the mother told me that it was unable to swallow any solid food. It could not masticate and would take no nourishment except liquids. The child suffered also from facial eczema which had been in existence for several months. A single dose of Calcarea in the 1,000th potency enable the mother, to her great surprise, to feed the child on solid food, biscuits, etc. The child rapidly learned to masticate thoroughly and within six weeks the eczema had completely disappeared.
These few cases are come of the patients whom I have seen in the course of a day. They gladden the heart of ma homoeopath, for they show the efficacy of the law of similars by his cures with highly potentized medicines. Ones satisfaction to produce cures like those described is increased by their having been brought about by a single remedy which was allowed to develop its full power of action before another dose of the same medicine in the same or in a higher potency was prescribed. Besides, no change of medicine was undertaken until the effect of the dose originally given had become fully established. If one changes haphazard from one medicine to the other or prescribes several medicines at the same time, one knows no longer which medicine has been responsible for improvement or for a cure.

Psoriasis is one of the most obstinate skin conditions, which at the same times takes sudden turns for better or for worse without any apparent reason. And one has not infrequently seen cases clear up remarkably quickly after being given a Homoeopathic remedy and remain clear for a long time. Then on a recurrence when the patient comes for repetition of that “wonderful medicine” and after carefully taking the case again the same remedy is still indicated, what do we sometimes find? Not a disappearance of the eruption as before, but an obstinate persistence. However you will agree that we have quite good grounds for believing that the remedies given had some influence on the favourable course of the eruption”.
(DR. ALVA BENJAMIN)
Some Psoriasis cases treated by Dr. Benjamin are –
Case 1:
Mrs. W. K., aged 20 gave a history of having had an irritating rash above the left elbow with scaling for about an year. This condition had persisted in spite of many level treatments. She loved company and craved sympathy. She was a very quiet-spoken, dark, attractive young woman, with psoriatic patches as described above. She was given one dose of Pulsatilla 10 M. She was not seen for over 3 months when she reported a steady improvement and the patch on the side had almost completely disappeared and the patch on the elbow was steadily improving. No further medicine was given. When she reported again after 6 months, she said that she had been quite clear for a long time.
(Note – Dr. P S Krishnamurthy prepared a complete anamnesis of psora and found the common factor Pulsatilla in the analysis,” I use Pulsatilla in cases of Psoriasis when no other remedy is coming forward for prescription. In addition to this, I usually use Pulsatilla in between the indicated remedies. But when it is indicated, I use it in almost all the available potencies in different scales until the edge of the Pulsatilla potency is completely rubbed off” – Dr. P.S. Krishnamurthy)
Case 2:
Mr. A.R. aged 19, had psoriasis in the shins, which had persisted since he was a child. It was generally worse in the winter. The rash, at the time of consultation, had also spread to the trunk. His general health was good except that he was constipated. He was tall, thin, and pale. Finding very few symptoms to prescribe upon. Dr. Benjamin remembered that the patients elder brother also suffered from Psoriasis and had done well on Natrum-mur, for which he gave clear indications, and therefore he prescribed Natrum-mur 10 M for this patient also with the result that in a months time all the lesions were very much less. After 5 weeks, when there was a slight relapse, another dose of Nat-mur 10 M was given with gratifying result; in four months time he was clear of the psoriasis. Dr. Benjamin himself advises that he would not advocate this method of prescribing but at times in the absence of any indications for any other remedy it may be useful.
(Note – There was some evidence to believe genetic predisposition to psoriasis in this case).
Case: 3
A very little woman who had a mild psoriatic eruption for several years. She was the typical “gold cane” Arsenic patient. Dr. Benjamin tried many potencies of Ars-alb ranging from 3x to 10M but got only temporary improvement, until he gave her for a short while four minim doses of Liquor-arsenicalis; thereafter a permanent cure was affected.
Case : 4
Mr. S V P, age 75 years consulted Dr. M.P. Nimbhorkar for treatment of psoriasis, patches of which were found on hands, legs, elbows and back for over 4 years other treatments gave no relief. He had severe itching and burning with restlessness, worse by cold, every winter and better by hot application. Desire for alcoholic drinks. Always slept with hands over his head. Great exhaustion after exertion. Had malaria earlier. There was a family history of father suffering from psoriasis and mother from eczema. Younger sister had also psoriasis.
He was given Ars-alb 30, one dose on 29-5-1980 and was asked to report after one month, he came back after a fortnight with increasing patches with burning, itching and restlessness. Given placebo for 2 months. After 2 months the patient complained of spread of psoriasis to new spots with itching and burning.
He was given one dose of Ars-alb 200 on 4 Sept. 1980 with placebo for 2 months. After that he felt better and itching and burnings were less; he was prescribed Ars-alb 1 M and 10 Nov1980 with placebo for 2 months.
Arsenic -alb had given definite relief but the patches remained when he was seen on 10Feb. 1981, there were changes in his symptoms. Itching and burning in spots better by cold water. General feeling of uneasiness in morning. Difficult to concentrate and gather his ideas. Arms very painful, worse by pressure. He was given, DNA 1 M one dose; repeated on 12 March 1981. The patient was better and when there was relapse in certain spots one more dose of DNA 1 M was repeated in August 1982. After 2 months there was improvement and only a small patch remained on left leg. The patient continued to improve and when he was seem again after a lapse of six years in May 1988, he had no psoriasis.
In this case DNA played a prominent part as a supportive medicine as heredity seemed to be a causative factor.
Dr. M.P. NIMBHORKAR
Case 5:
Mr. M.S. aged 32 consulted the doctor on 22 Aug. 1988 for the psoriatic patches on his skin, since the last 5 years. Rosy colour spot in skin itching, burning and swelling and worse after coition. Patient is very sensitive to cold and pain in his feet better by motion. Eruption on skin worse cold weather. He had a past history of syphilis in young age. Father had eczema.
In Kents repertory (P 1328) only a single medicine is given against the rubric – Itching, coition after. He was given Agaricus 200 one dose on 22 August 1988. After one month burning and itching were less but patches remained one more dose of Agaricus 200 repeated on 25 Sept. 1988 with SL for 2 months.
There was some improvement but the patient complained of severe pains in joints and bones in nights. Taking note of the past history of syphilis he was given Syphilinum 1 M dose on 10 Dec. 1988. There was a lot of improvement. Continued on placebo till March 1989. As a few patches were still there the doctor gave Syphilinum 10 M. After 2 months seen and there was a lot of improvement. SL and the patient continued to improve.

That Odd Symptom
In his Organon, Aphorism 153, Dr.Hahnemann said in “this search for a Homoeopathic specific remedy, the more striking, singular, uncommon and peculiar (characteristic) signs and symptoms of the case of the disease are chiefly and most solely to be kept in view”.
That odd symptom which leads to the similimum is got from observation or during interview.
Some of the cases from our vast literature where the prescription was based on that odd symptom are presented below:-
CASE 1: Cough followed by sneezing
The lady was obviously feeling very low in spirits and depressed. Her chief troubles were utter exhaustion, periodic sore throats and indigestion relieved by eating. There was a feeling of trembling in stomach, with constipation and nightly aggravation. During daytime she felt as though her organs were almost paralyzed and she felt better at night. She was also very jealous of her husband.
As these symptoms gave a fairly good picture of Lachesis, Dr. Eric F W Powell was about to give her a dose of Lachesis 1M. As the patient was conversant with Homoeopathy, she inquired as to what was being prescribed and in what potency. When informed of the remedy, she said “that is what Dr X (a Homoeopath) gave me and it did not help me at all”. She said that Doctor also was a high potency man. Dr. Powell therefore thought his selection of Lachesis was wrong.
While talking with the doctor, she coughed two or three times and each little cough was followed by a sneeze. After searching in a detailed repertory. Dr. Powell prescribed Agaricus 200 3 doses, as that remedy covered her other symptoms as well. After initial aggravation, the patient improved in all her symptoms.
Kents Repertory pg 804 contains this rubric – Cough, sneezing ends in – AGAR, Arg-n, Rad, Bell., bry, caps, carb-v, cina, hep, lyc, psor, sang. Squil, Sulph.
T.F. Allens Handbook on Agaricus says – “Violent and isolated attacks of cough ending with repeated sneezing. Violent during the day; in morning, also on awaking; at noon with repeated sneezing”.
CASE 2: Sweating on uncovered parts only.
The patient had an obstinate attack of constipation, which for seven days resisted all medicines like castor oil, injections etc. He was in great pain and it was in the lower umbilical region and was intense in all lower parts of the abdomen. The mans face was covered with sweat and his hands were moist but his body was dry. Dr. George prescribed Thuja high based on the last mentioned symptom. While the previous day was all despair and confusion, next day was one of cheer and happiness as his constipation and pain were relieved dramatically.
(This article was published as far back as 1904 in the Medical Advance and was reproduced in Oct 1963 issue of the Homoeopathic World published in UK. The other peculiar symptom, of Thuja the disposition to leave sentences unfinished in conversation “commences every sentence anew without ability to finish may also be noted. Synthetic Repertory pg 938 – Finish sentence, cannot – Ars, Can-i, lach, med, thuj. The exact proved symptom appears as a rubric in Knerrs Repertory p. 75 under Talking.)
CASE 3: Burning Palm
An otherwise healthy woman consulted Dr. Hesse for what she termed as a trifling ailment but which made her desperate. She complained of burning in the palm of her right hand with a sensation as if she kept her hand in boiling water. It was aggravated by rest, in the cold, by holding cold objects and greatly in cold water and after midnight till morning. Relief was felt by letting the palm hang down, by motion, warmth and in hot water. At about 3 pm, the hand and whole forearm burns. She has to get up and run about. The hand felt paralyzed and as if asleep for hours. She is obliged to hold something light in her hand.
Dr. Hesse initially prescribed Ars-alb, twice a day. There was no change. So, Rhus-tox 3x twice a day was prescribed and after three days the pain became unbearable. Dr. Hesse gave Rhus-tox 200 daily one dose for 2 days. The pain was relieved after two days. Patient slept better. After a week Rhus-tox 30 one dose; there was great improvement. She could work with her hand even in cold water.
Dr. S. Lilienthal while commenting on this case stated “The selection of Rhus Tox was a splendid one, as it is our great antiparalyticum; the burning of the palm shows the paretic state of the vaso motors supplying it. Just let one try to hold a piece of ice in the hand and he will feel that icy coldness at first produced by the contraction of vasomotors and after a while a burning sensation produced by paretic dilation of the vasomotors and increased flow of blood

CASE 1:
Hyperpyrexia with Urinary Retention.
A 22 years old male patient had continuous moderate to high fever. Was on allopathic treatment since 5 days. On the 6th day the fever shot up to 104.5 F and the patient was in a state of delirium. Homoeopathic treatment was asked.
The patient when seen was drowsy; staring with eyes open wide, delirium; jerking of extremities, frequently. Shouting with convulsions of both the legs again goes into stupor.
No neck stiffness or rigidity.
There was however retention of urine. The bladder was full but the patient had not passed urine since past 9 hours.
Treatment:
Helleborus 200, 4 doses. One dose to be taken every 3 hours. Wet pack for the head and sponge bath as auxillary treatment.
After 2-3 hours, the general condition of the patient started improving. A good quantity of urine was passed. The temperature dropped to 102 F. By next morning, there was no fever and the patient was well.

CASE 2: Chronic Vertigo
A female patient, aged 38, had a history of severe vertigo since 1981. She was married with a single child. She had undergone a hysterectomy for excessive bleeding which did not respond to therapeutic treatment. Her complaints started thereafter.
An EEG, CAT Scan-skull and other investigations did not reveal any pathology. Her ENT checkup was also normal. She was taking Vertin tablet daily, as prescribed by an allopathic doctor.
The patient came in 1992. A detailed case revealed the constitutional drug – Calcarea-carb. A main symptom that the patient presented was – Fear of getting mad.
Calc-carb 200 BD for a few days brought in a remarkable improvement. Calc-carb in graduated potencies cured the case completely. She has no more vertigo.
Repertorial Rubrics:
Vertigo – KR 96 (Calc-c 3)
Fear of insanity – KR 45 (Calc-c 3)
*Menses Copious – KR 725 (Calc-carb 3)
*In retrospect – perhaps the menstrual flooding could have been arrested and the uterus too saved if only Calc-carb or any other suitable homoeopathic drug had been given then.
CASE 3: Relapsed Typhoid
A boy of 12 years had another attack of fever after a gap of 12 days. There was a high fever on the 4th day with delirium. Antibiotics and other orthodox treatment were not useful.
Homoeopathic treatment tried at this stage. The boy was in a stage of delirium. He was muttering something in stupor. The relatives said that he was saying his evening prayers.
Stramonium 200 a few doses brought down the temperature and the boy recovered fully in 3 days.
Repertorial Rubrics:
Delirium – Synoptic Key – Pg. 50 (Stram 3)
Praying – Synoptic Key – Pg. 53 (Stram 1)
CASE 4: Severe neuralgic pain in the spine
A 17 years old college student came with severe agonising pain at the spot just above the sacrum. It was since 15 days that he had this pain. Treatment at the hospital with analgesics were not of much help. The X-ray of spine taken from all positions (Frontal, Lateral and Oblique) did not reveal any abnormality.
Sitting was the most uncomfortable position.
Agaricus 200 three doses for 2 days was given which relieved the pain and the student went about with his daily normal activities thereafter.
Agaricus 1M was given again to complete the cure.
Repertorial Rubrics:
Pain at sacrum – KR 918 (Agar 3)
Worse sitting – KR 918 (Agar 3 only one drug).
CASE 5: Bells Palsy
A 64 years old male patient had a severe hacking cough and sleeplessness since a few days. On 7-3-93 at night he had a difficulty in speaking, as if the tongue was paralyzed. On examination the left side of the face seemed paralyzed. There was a lot of lachrymation from the left eye. Opening the mouth fully was difficult. (He was a businessman having a lot of stress at the factory, office and home).
Treatment:
7-3-93 Cocculus 200 4 doses (one dose every 4 hours)
9-3-93 Cocculus 1000 2 doses (12 hours apart)
The next day i.e. on 10-3-93 a remarkable improvement was seen. There was no paralysis and the patient could speak well. However, the hacking cough persisted.
12-3-93 Senega 6, 8 doses were given. (one dose every 4 hours daily for two days).
14-3-93 Senega 1000 2 doses, 12 hours apart.
Repertorial Rubrics:
- Face paralysis – KR 390 (Cocc 2, Seneg 1)

- Loss of sleep – KR 1402 (Cocc 3)
- Cough of old people – KR 798 (Senega 2)
- Mortifications ailments from KR 68 (Senega 2)
CASE 6: Unstable Angina
A 61 years old patient had chest pain and was under treatment of a cardiologist since a week. He was prescribed –
- Tab Dilcardia 30 mg tds
- Tab Sorbitrate 10 mg 1-2 qds
- Tab Eprin 150 mg od
- Tab Rantac 150 mg 1 od
There was no improvement inspite of the treatment. The chest pain and numbness in the left arm was rather worsening. He also had giddiness.
On 28-3-93 the patient consulted for homoeopathic treatment.
Chief Complaint:
Chest (Left side) above the nipple, severe spasmodic pain, squeezing in nature; pain shooting to left hand; numbness of upper arms of left hand. The pain was worse motion and lying down. A mild massage gave him some relief.
Vertigo was worse by motion and worse rising from a lying down posture.
There was a feeling that the chest is tightened and squeezed when the pain occurred.
Treatment: Cactus 200 six doses. One dose every 3-4 hours.
Follow-up: A remarkable improvement was seen from the very first dose itself, subsequently Cactus 200 was given twice daily till 31-3-93 by which time the patient was completely relieved of the chest pain and vertigo.
The patient came again on the 6-9-93 with severe bleeding piles and constipation. The complaint went with a few doses of Cactus 200.
(He had a past history of piles which was operated years ago).
Repertorial Rubrics:
- Pain heart – KR 849 (Cact 3)
- Pain worse lying on left side – KR 850 (Cact 2)
- Numbness, upper limbs left side – KR 1036 (Cact 3)
- Vertigo – KR 96 (Cact 2)
- Vertigo, worse rising from lying posture – Kr 103 (Cact 2)
- Constipation – KR 606 (Cact 2)
- Haemorrhage from anus – Kr 619 (Cact 3)
- Haemorrhoids – KR 619 (Cact 2)
No. 4. Renal Colic: A man had a renal colic since a week. He refused an operation which his physician advised. Piper- methysticum material doses were given which resulted in a dark brown sedimentous urine. However the pain still persisted. Treatment: Belladonna 2x ended the trouble.

JULIA M. GREEN, M.D.
CASE I. Belladonna. Of course there are plenty and plenty of cases helped by Belladonna; we feel well acquainted with its action so you may say there is no need to call this remedy unusual. But I was much surprised with it in this case.
Mrs. V.K.W., 35 years old, was taken Feb. 7 of this year with a severe attack of influenza which was epidemic at the time. After three days of rather high fever and the cardinal symptoms of the epidemic, which were much helped by Kali bi., her husband and two children came down with the same thing. She left her bed to care for them, pushing herself far beyond her strength. The hard, dry, racking cough caused involuntary urination and near exhaustion. Nothing given helped this cough, though other symptoms improved.
Puls. was tried and then Phos. Then her chronic remedy, Zinc., was given, apparently without effect. Finally. the evening of Feb. 22, I was below 105, eyes looked glassy had she was delirious. This was all true. In addition her face was much flushed; she complained of burning all over; skin dry; headache violent, throbbing; very restless. She had sudden sharp pains in throat and chest. Wild delirium came and went; she would not know who she was or where she was, talking incoherently, then suddenly rational again for a short time.
I gave her Bell. 2C. for these obvious symptoms of that drug, when to my surprise it removed all other symptoms too. Next morning temperature was nearly normal and did not again rise above 100. Sleep, which had been almost wholly absent for about ten days, returned, peacefully. The general aching left; the vile taste was gone; she could eat again with relish; the cough declined rapidly and the urine was controlled from the start.
After a few groups of Bell. 2c. in water, she had no more medicine for a week when Bell. 1M. was given as the nervous weakness, trembling and sleeplessness returned.
It was repeated in another week and acted well both times.
After three weeks Bell. 10M. was given because of a sudden exhaustion returning. This time there was no reaction and ten days later she was given her old chronic remedy, Zinc., once more.
QUERY: Is there a known relationship between Bell. and Zinc.?.
CASE II. Lactuca.
A slender, graceful woman of 35 years, unmarried, skin soft and smooth, has extremely poor inheritance. She seems to have both venereal miasms and psora mixed; never strong, always ailing.
Some of the marked, recurrent symptoms: Swelling of eyelids, upper and lower. Itching edges of lids. Injection of conjunctivae. Aching eyeballs with photophobia, sensation of cold air blowing in them. Skin so dry must grease it; on face as if thick and tightly drawn. Throat: pulsations. Itching all over after shower bath. Spells of great nervousness in the night, as if she would lose her mind, shrieking, tossing arms about, could not control them, sensation as if she would fly to pieces, Back, upper dorsal: sensation of great weakness; aching, must support it with hands when sitting and in bed. Full of mucus; some in eyes, much in throat, stomach; leucorrhoea profuse. Hungry all the time but abdomen distended easily after eating. Swelling ankles, hands, as well as eyes and face. Taste bad; breath offensive.
Lactuca, given on symptoms of face and the hysterical symptoms at night, created a marked general improvement.
CASE III. Sambucus.
A large, stocky child of medium complexion was 19 months old when I first saw her. She had always been fussy about food, refusing one thing after another, always restless and wakeful at night and hard to get to sleep in the daytime. She has been ill for two months with pneumonia when about 6 months old.
She would waken at 1 or 2 a.m. with crowing respiration and a hoarse sawing kind of cough accompanied by high fever and dripping sweat. In such attacks eyelids apt to be swollen and eyes sometimes glassy, expressionless; skin pale and moist. Coarse rales could be heard in the upper bronchi. Fussy, very restless, wanting water but no food. Some salivation.
These feverish attacks came every few weeks and between them the cough became almost constant, < after midnight, driving the family wild. Sometimes frequent sneezing with the cough.
The usual croup remedies did nothing; Merc. held for a time; Calc. and Sulph. produced only temporary relief.
Finally, after nearly two years of searching for the right remedy while attacks grew closer together until the child was sick more than half the time, I gave her a dose of Sambucus 2C. In twelve days the cough was about gone. Sambucus 2M. was given for more fever.
There was improvement then for eight months when Sambucus 2M. was given for another attack, much lighter.
Meantime the patient has grown wonderfully, looks well, temperament improved. I would hardly know her for the same child. While Sambucus was doing it first good work I thought she had gone to another doctor because the former frequent calls for help stopped so suddenly.
CASE IV. Agaricus.
A child of five years, plump with firm flesh, light complexion, has many common symptoms and some unusual one, e.g.: Tendency to mouth breathing. Nose stopped tight with mucus welling forth. Tonsils not large, uvula long, swollen, Grinding teeth in sleep. Perspiration free, head, neck, hands, feet. Desire sweets, rich foods. Cannot stand soap around nose, causes sneezing. Tendency to chest colds and asthma. Cough croupy, alternating with sneezing all night long. Wheezing all over chest. Dyspnoea accompanied by yawning. Extreme restlessness. Pulling hair, clapping hands, throwing herself, finally weeping. Itching all over so cannot sleep, very restless. Attacks of pain mid-abdomen, cramp-like, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. aching legs prevent sleep, wants them rubbed. Itching eyes and nose, keeps rubbing them. Nose red; sore.
Agaricus has made this child over in six months; potencies from 2c. to 1M. 10M. so far. She has milder attacks farther apart, is far less nervous, can sleep all night. WASHINGTON, D.G.
Anacardium orientale: Nervous depression; depression of regions of special senses. Weak memory. Sensation of impending misfortune (consider also Calc. c. and Gels.). Irritable, contradictory. Seems as if one could not control the will; knows it is wrong, but cannot resist doing it. Suspects everybody. Disregard of religious things; tendency to swear, cannot resist profanity. Do not punish a child for swearing; give it Anac. Prostration. Epileptiform seizures. Voracious appetite, must eat. This remedy most surely would have changed the mental condition of Esau and he might not have traded his birthright for a mess of pottage to relieve his awful hunger. V.M.JOHNSON, M.D.

EDWARD S. SMITH, M.D.
Among the cases claiming the attention of the physician there are few that present a stronger appeal than children who are sub- normal, either mentally or physically. When both of these conditions are found in one and the same patient the claim on our interest is greatly augmented.
The case which I have the privilege of bringing to your notice is that of a boy, an only child, who, when first seen by the speaker, was subject of both mental and physical defects, and during his few years had suffered a greater handicap than falls to the lot of most beginners in the race of life. When I first saw him, on June 30, 1931, his age was three and a half years. He could neither walk nor talk, but lay on the bed, or cough, or floor, indifferent to his surroundings, and requiring all the attentions of a baby. The father told me that up to his fifth month he was as fine a child as a parent could wish to have, healthy, vigorous and normal. At the fifth month he began to develop convulsions, which were of daily occurrence, often repeated, and very severe. While in the convulsion the child was unconscious for at least half a minute, the head was retracted, the eyes were rolled upward, and the extremities were in a state of clonic contraction, combined with tremor. This experience was repeated many times daily, the nurse, as she sat by the crib, observing as many as seven in a single night. The seizures occurred in the night more frequently than during the day.
So for three years the child continued in this condition, being attended at first by the family physician, and later be several pediatricians, all of the dominant school of medicine. Then it was decided to take him to the New York post-Graduate Hospital. The purpose of this change was to enable the laboratory experts to make repeated tests, to discover, if possible, the basic cause of the disease. He remained in the hospital eight weeks but all the tests made there were of no avail, for the report of the laboratory men was that the boy was one hundred per cent perfect by every test. No taint or infection, hereditary or acquired, was discovered, nor was there any enlightenment as regards the cause of the condition from other sources. The sole result of his experience in this hospital was the development of a mastoiditis, for which he was treated by the usual operation, and from which he eventually recovered, though not till after his return to Bridgeport. In passing, it may be said that four days after the operation he showed signs of a collapse, so a transfusion was done, the father being the donor. Tests made of the blood of the father, preparatory to the transfusion, showed it to be without infection of any specific nature, and quite suited to the purpose in hand. After his return home he was again placed under the care of specialist and men in general practice, who tried in vain to stop the convulsions and bring him to a normal state.
One of these men believing the seat of the disorder to be in the cerebellar region advised that the skull be opened so that the cause might be removed. But the father demurred, fearing the procedure would end the childs life. Another physician in his despair at the repeated failures to relieve the patient of his incubus suggested the transference of the patient to the state hospital for epileptics at Mansfield, Conn. Again the father refused, declaring that he would never do this till every other reasonable means had been employed.
In December 1930 the boy was trained by his devoted nurse to make an attempt at walking. She succeeded in helping him to develop a partial ability to balance himself, and walk with a stilted, unnatural gait by holding on to furniture. He continued these efforts at locomotion for six months when the effect of the convulsions overcame him, and he could do not more. This was on June 10, 1931.
On my first examination of the patient I found him to be a well nourished boy, three and a half years old, weighing about forty pounds, and as well developed as most children of his age. He was quite unable to communicate by language with those around him, and he seemed but very imperfectly to understand what was said to him. His inability to walk was evident. At times there is a marked exophoria of the right eye. He is left-handed.
A case of so unusual a type, and with a history of so many experiences with various physicians, demanded care in the development of a new line of treatment. The first prescription was Cuprum cyanatum 6x trituration, which was given on the assumption that there was, at the base of the brain, the result of a chronic congestion, for which this medicine has been prescribed with effect. This remedy was given three times daily for a week, but as no improvement was observed it was discontinued.
After further consideration he was given Cicuta virosa 6x dilution on tablets three times daily. This prescription was made on July 7th. The basis for this prescription is found in Allens Handbook of Materia Medica and Therapeutics where the record of symptoms is convulsions with distortion of the limbs, opisthotonos, spasms of all the muscles, unconsciousness. Clinically Allen gives convulsions from various causes, injuries, epileptiform, tetanic, with insensibility, jerking of the eye balls, muscles of the face, and of the whole body.
On July 12th, five days after the prescription of Cicuta, the convulsions stopped, and so far as is known there has never been a return of them. The child has been under the observation of his nurse day and night, with trifling exceptions, from that date to the present time, so it is believed if a convulsion had occurred it would have been noted.
On July 22nd he began to make attempts at walking, imperfect at first, but with increasing success, as the days passed, till now he runs and walks as well as a normal child of his age.
About this time it was evident that the boy had a clearer understanding of what was said to him, so the nurse began to encourage him to make efforts to talk. the response was slow at first, the vocabulary consisting of nouns, some of which he pronounced distinctly, but others quite imperfectly. However, progress has characterized the case in this respect also, for now verbs are appearing in his speech, and we hope soon there will be qualifying adjectives to join other words in his talking outfit.
In November 1931 he was given a few treatment with the actinic ray which has an excellent record in the treatment of similar cases, but his fear of the overhanging lamp was such as to cause a stopping of the treatment.
In January 1932, because of the inconsiderate demand on his resources by one who should have shown better judgment, he exhibited slight nervous twitchings, but these soon disappeared under the use of Agaricus 2x in tablet form. Later he was returned to the remedy Cicuta which he took twice daily.
On February 11m 1932, his medication was changed to Baryta carbonica 6x in tablets twice daily. This prescription was made on the basis of his backward mental state, and his general slow development. This is his medicine at the present time.
In seeking for the etiology of this case much difficulty has been encountered, but in the absence of a specific heredity, or symptoms of intestinal parasites, it is believed that the cause may be found in repeated shocks to the brain during the early months of infancy. For example, it is known that the patient was placed on the rear seat of a car, and was thrown from this place to the floor of the car when the car went over a sudden rise. It is known that he fell several times from a dressing table to the floor of the bedroom. There were many other evidences of carelessness and neglect, all without excuse, and due to the indifference of the person who had the responsibility of his care. These experiences must have resulted in repeated shocks to the developing brain of the child, and it is believed that the etiology of the case is to be found here.
Meanwhile under the direction of his physician, and the care of his nurse, the entire attitude of the patient toward his surroundings has undergone a decided change. From being merely a living thing with no interest in objects and persons about him, and unable to walk or talk, he is now mentally alert, keenly interested in play, either when alone or with other children, and demanding the co-operation of his father and his nurse in his play and in his entertainment. His mental development at present is that of a entertainment. his mental development at present is that of a child about a year and a half old. However, the development of his mentality has been so consistent and constant that there is much cause to expect he will eventually show the development of a normal mind in accord with his age.
The report of this case is made because it serves as a cogent illustration of the advantage which the homoeopathic system of medicine offers in the treatment of most disorders, especially those which are obscure in their origin, resistant to the methods of treatment practised by the dominant school of medicine, and so chronic in their course as to threaten the continuance in life of the unfortunate patient.
If I could present to you a picture of the unhappy father of this boy, pacing the floor of my office, almost overwhelmed with mental suffering as he related his disappointments with physicians who had endeavored to relieve the case, “in the last ditch with the enemy upon him,” and by contrast show you the condition now, when the boy waves him a good-bye as he departs to his daily task, and greets him when he returns at the close of day, with all the expressions of joy and delight which characterize a normal winsome child, you would, I am sure, agree that such a result affords a reason to be for the homoeopathic system of medicine.
So here is my report, fellow members, and as Ripley says “Believe it or not,” but in any event this is the case as I know it to be.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN.
Hahnemann taught us that the common symptoms of diseased conditions were of little importance in making up the drug picture of the remedy for the disease that would do the most effective work. At first thought this truly seems an unreasonable statement. That we should throw out such symptoms as pain, fever, chill, inflammation, suppuration, tumors, and all the common features of diseased conditions as practically worthless, and take up those which were peculiar to the individual, and perhaps have no reasonable bearing upon the case from a pathological standpoint seems an unwarrantable position for one to hold. But years of homoeopathic practice from this Hahnemannian standpoint has proved the truth of the statement, and we do not lack for ample evidence to substantiate the position. H.P.HOLMES, M.D.1892.

Case 453
Agaricus in Vertigo.-Hon. Mr.-, aged about 40, robust, ruddy and plethoric, large head and massive chest, sedentary, a free liver, and habitual but not immoderate user of tobacco and stimulants had suffered for nearly two years from frequent attacks of vertigo with the usual heaving and whirling of objects about him; tendency to fall forward, partial amaurotic blindness, with floating muscae and vibrating spectra, and partial numbness of the left side of the tongue. Temporary constipation; exciting debate, or protracted mental application invariably brought on the attacks, which were accompanied by slight nausea, but unusual change of color, coolness of extremities, nor heat of scalp. Free catharsis, aided by abstemious diet, generally mitigated the severity of the attacks, the usual duration of which were from twelve to thirty-six hours. As the exciting nature of his profession, and his frequently protracted and extravagant mental efforts seemed to require the aid of stimulants, a radical change in his habits was out of the question. Hence a part of the treatment must necessarily be antipathic or palliative. He was directed to take some prompt cathartic whenever constipation threatened an attack, and Nux, Bell., Ignat., Glon. and Cocc., in medium and high potencies, were faithfully applied without effect. Finally, I prescribed ten or fifteen drop doses of the tincture of Agaricus, three times daily, whenever the symptoms appeared, and also directed its use for three or four days after the attacks passed away. The effect was admirable. Each successive attack was greatly diminished in severity and duration, they became less and less frequent, and finally, in less than three months after the first exhibition of the remedy, wholly disappeared. Nearly two years have elapsed since the last attack, and Hon, Mr.___’s health is as robust, and his habits as careless and convivial as ever.-N. Amer. Jour. Vol. IX, 1861, p. 364, 5.

Psoric irritation of spine and eye
Psoric Irritation of Spine and Eyes. Calc., Lyc., Agaricus.
October 7th, 1880. Miss Mary C., aged sixteen, consulted me, with the following history and symptoms: Has had weak eyes from infancy, which have been worse for one month. She menstruated at ten years, when she began to be sick, suffering from spasms of pain, leucorrhoea and numbness of limbs, so that she could not feel the floor on walking. The menses have been irregular at intervals varying from two to ten weeks, copious and free from pain; the interval is now about three weeks.
She sees only the left half of objects; in place of the right half bright zigzags; sees bright spots green, red and white; also, a mist before the eyes, so that distant objects look dim. She suffers much from heat in the eyes and pressure in the back of the orbits; worse from looking fixedly, from reading, from bright light, natural or artificial, from mental exertion, and in the evening. This heat is also worse from closing the lids and in wind, better from cold applications. There is itching of the lids and canthi. She has constant pain in the temples and over the eyes, worse in warm room and weather, from exertion of the eyes and in wind. There is heat, smarting and a sense of sticks and distress in the spine. The backache is worse from standing and walking, and is relieved by pressure in the lumbar region; but pressure in the dorsal region excites laughter.
The local and constitutional symptoms were together regarded as most similar to those of Calcarea Carbonica, of which she received Dunham’s 200th potency, night and morning for three days.
Improvement set in at once; but delight at being able to use her eyes, led to over-use of them, and the report by letter a month later was, that nausea from use of the eyes, heat of the face, pain in the back from lifting, as if she had no feeling except in the back, coldness between the shoulders, extending to the sides, and cold feet had been added to the farmer symptoms. She received Lycopodium c. m. (Swan), morning and evening for four days. In three weeks, December 1st, her mother wrote that the back was almost well, but that the head and eyes were worse, paining severely and incessantly, with heat in the head and face, so that she could not stay in a room of ordinary warmth. Phosphorus, in high potency, was sent her, without benefit, and again Calcarea, with but little improvement. She reported again as follows: The eyes worse, the pain constant, deep-seated and sharp shooting, worse in light and from reading, better in cold air and in twilight. Heat in the eyes; they burn on closing the lids and from exertion. The feet are very cold and swollen, with troublesome chilblains. The spine is sensitive to touch in various parts.
The chilblains suggested Agaricus, which, on examination, was found to present the principal symptoms of the case. Heat in the eyes, worse from closing the lids, inability to use the eyes, with painful sensitiveness to light; mist before the eyes, dryness, itching of the canthi, soreness of the spine to touch and troublesome chilblains, with cold feet, were all found under Agaricus. Accordingly, seven powders of Finch’s 900th potency were sent her, with the request to take one every morning. In a few weeks she reported by letter that soon after beginning the last remedy, she got better; that she could use her eyes at any kind of work, and that she seemed in every respect well. Recent inquiry elicited the information that she has remained well.

(Read by Flora. A. Waddell, M. D., at the Homoeopathic Medical Society Delaware, Ohio, May 8th And 9th, 1888.)
My name being placed in the Bureau of Clinical Medicine for this year, I will respond by calling your attention to a continuation of the subject of last year, the verification of some of the symptoms occurring in my practice since that time. I hope some others present have something to offer on this subject, as verified symptoms soon make a strong and indisputable work of reference on which all may depend.
Toes itch and burn; are red and swollen, as if frost bitten. This condition had annoyed the patient for eight years, every spring and fall; was very severe. The only relief obtained was by applying Chloroform to the affected parts. This would relieve for a short time. Gave Agaricus 30x two doses, one hour apart, which entirely relieved for two weeks, when a slight return made it necessary to repeat the dose. Has not had a return since taking the last medicine, over a year ago. Had four other cases of chilblains presenting the same symptoms cured by Agaricus.
A lady having diarrhoea before and during menses, so severe as to debilitate her very much. Had been troubled for the past three years. Noticed, while talking to her, dents on her fingers caused by the scissors she had been using. The patient said any hard pressure left such marks. That made me think of Bovista. On looking over the proving found it had all the symptoms she gave me. Put up some powders of the 30x to be taken one three times per day, during her need of them. The morning of the fifth day she came into the office, saying, “I have something new the matter this month. For the last three mornings I awakened with such fearful cramps in my lower limbs that I cannot stand it any longer. I have to rub and work with them a long time before I can get up, when it passes of until the next morning, when it is the same thing over again.” I went to a repertory, as the condition was not a common one, aud found Bovista was the remedy, the cramps being a proving. I gave Sac. Lac., and in a few days they disappeared, She was much improved otherwise. The next month gave the 200x, one dose every other night. This did not cause any trouble and cured the diarrhoea, as there lias not been a return for the past four months.
A lady had pneumonia; was not called until the third day of her sickness. On entering the room the sight was startling. It seemed as if there was small chance for anything to afford relief, still less to cure. The effort for breath was so great, the eyes seemed fairly starting from their sockets. In broken words she gasped, “I cannot move, I cannot breathe for this pain in my lungs.”Every effort to cough would start the tears. I dissolved a few pellets of Bryonia 45m in a teaspoonful of water and dropped a few drops at a time on her tongue. In about fifteen minutes she commenced to breathe easier; in an hour she could turn with help, and in three hours was asleep. Gave Sac. Lac., every hour; only one dose more of Bryonia, same potency, the third day, as improvement seemed to cease, This should convince the most skeptical that virtue exists In the high potency as well as the low when applied according to the rules laid down in our guide book, The Organon of Samuel Hahnemann.
A Methodist minister’s wife had for the last eight years been afflicted with rush of blood to the head, chest, and arms, so severe as to make life a misery. Feet cold, and must constantly move them, especially after lying down at night. Hering gives the symptoms under Lilium tig. like this: Fullness of head with pressure outward, as if contents would be forced through every aperture, conscious pulsations over whole body, and out pressing in hands and arms, as if the blood would burst through the vessels. Constant motion of the feet and limbs on lying down. Gave Lilium 200x, one dose every night until relieved, then three times per week until cured. The peculiar symptom in this case was that she paid her bill and sent a number of her friends to me for treatment. In our part of the country the ministers expect us to do their work for thanks and help to pay their salaries besides.
I now wish to call the attention of the physicians present to a remedy called Crawley. I have never seen it mentioned in homoeopathic literature, have never known of a proving. I have produced a few symptoms in cases where I have been giving it, but they were too sick at the time to push the drug effects any further. King’s Dispensatory gives all the knowledge I have of it except my own experience. It states that it was used by the M. D.’s of long ago for fevers in its powdered state. I obtained some fresh roots and made a tincture of them. The high price I paid for them should have made it resemble Aurum metallicum. From this I prepared the third potency and commenced experimenting with it. I found it would cure the common fevers for which we usually give Aconite very much the same way. It is very effective in the, first stage of typhoid, which Aconite is not. It will break hectic fever where it has not passed beyond the stage of cure without leaving the patient prostrate afterward. There is another peculiar fever we meet with occasionally that I have never been able to cure with anything. Perhaps others have been more successful. Such cases as have had this condition for a number of years coming on in the forenoon and lasting until midnight, the fever reaching its height about two o’clock in the afternoon. Can bear only the lightest covering at night, even in the winter time. They do not have a chill in the beginning, no perspiration following. From twelve o’clock until morning can be covered and sleep well. Appetite good. Usually able to be about, but very nervous in the afternoon.
This fever has some diseased conditions aside from the fever not the same in all cases. I have found it in both sexes, and with very different symptoms in each case. Would remove all the rest of the trouble with the properly selected remedy, and expect this fever to go also. Alas for my expectations they failed to be realized. Without a knowledge of this remedy should have failed in curing my cases. As an illustration, I will give one case.
Lady, thirty years of age. Has had urinary trouble for five years, accompanied with headache, etc., a well marked Sulphur case. Gave Sulphur200x and upward until it removed all the urinary and head symptoms. She said: “There is one trouble your medicine does not reach. I am better than I ever expected to be, and would think I was well if it was not for this fever I have coming on every day in the forenoon and lasting till midnight. I cannot bear only the lightest covering, and the soles of my feet, the inside of my hands, feel as if on fire, and I get so nervous in the afternoon I scarcely know what to do. Still can work some, and go about all the time.”I said, “How long have you had this trouble so bad? “She answered, “About four years.”I had given Sulphur. Now gave Sanguinaria, then tried Chamomilla, but without improvement. Then I gave third potency of Crawley root, a dose to be taken three times a day. In three weeks was well.
My hearers are ready to ask by this time,”Did you never have any failures? Do you want us to think your judgment is never at fault, that your medicine always works like a charm?” I would say this. It is ten years since I commenced to practice Homoeopathy according to the light I had given me. I have cases all the time in which my diagnosis is at fault. Sometimes from carelessness, sometimes from my imperfect knowledge of the materia medica, and, to tell the truth about it, sometimes because I do not know. I would relate some of it if I could see where it could benefit you, but I do not doubt but that you all have had enough of that in your own early experience not to need any of mine in addition; but this I do know, my greatest successes are achieved with the single remedy and potencies of the 200x and upward. Wishing you all success and happiness, I bid you adieu.

Constipation During Pregnancy.-Mrs. A., eighteen years old, light hair and blue eyes, primipara. Has had constipation ever since she became enciente. I had given her several remedies with no relief whatever.
The fore part or the first of the stools is hard; the after or last part loose or diarrhoeic. Itching, burning, and redness of the hands and feet. She says she can tell when she is going to be constipated, as her hands and feet itch and burn so, worse at night. She can scarcely sleep. Agaricus-mus. CM, one dose, made her better for two weeks. One dose more cured.

*At the last meeting of the Regional Society, Lachesis was discussed after reading it from Nash. Dr. Bernay stated that Bell. has a continued congestion, Lach. an intermittent one, and Glon. one yet more intermittent.
Dr. Gallavardin said that Bell., and not Lach., answers to the aggravation from clothing around the neck when the disturbance appears to come from within, rather than from without; also about the stomach, Lach. loosens the clothing if the aggravation is external rather than internal, as in Carbo-v., Graph., and other remedies.
Dr. Noack called attention to the fact that Lach. has cured many of his cases of cirrhosis with ascites, in drunkards.
In his first lines of Cancer of the Stomach, Dr. Nebel referred to the fact mentioned by Dr. Hirschfeld (Zeitschrift fur Krebsforschung, Vol. IX, Heft 3) that there is often a precarcinomatous pernicious anaemia present, in cases of latter carcinoma – whether the tumor be readily recognizable or not. Dr. Nebel remarks that the scirrhus form, when affecting the stomach, has a syco-psoric basis. His reported cures of cancer merely tell again that the knife cannot compete with the indicated remedy.

Cistus canadensis is well rendered by Dr. Ch. Noailles.
Dr. Barlee, of Edinburgh, reports two cases: one of chorea, and the other of eczema, which Agar. and Nit.-ac. cured, respectively. In order to find the remedy he used the 2nd edition of Kent’s Repertory, and really used it as a master. He appears to realize that there is something in the teaching of Hahnemann – which Kent and his followers uphold in its purity – of which he never dreamed before he put the instructions into practice.
As preface to his reports of cases he says:
When Hahnemann, in aphorism246 of The Organon, taught that every small dose of a remedy, well-chosen, will accomplish all that it can do within forty to one hundred days, he undoubtedly hoped his disciples would prescribe only one remedy at a time and let it work.
Kent and the American School have for many years revived the ideas of The Organon, and thanks to Kent’s works especially – notably his Lectures on the Homoeopathic Philosophy and his Repertory – we are now equipped with working-facilities unknown to our predecessors.
For the last few months I have been trying that way of treating the sick, and the fact is I obtained results absolutely astonishing when compared to what I did formerly, and compared to what the majority of my confreres of Europe do – who too frequently repeat the doses, and sometimes alternate. I allude especially to chronic diseases; in the acute, it may be often advantageous to repeat until a favorable effect is obtained.
The above quotation voices again what all true followers of the Master know, that mongrelism can as well cure the sick as an ass recite the Lord’s Prayer. Withal it is that enemy in our ranks that brays the loudest and kicks the hardest when time comes for wearing the harness that is found within the covers of The Organon. When that same mongrelism is seated with a professed Homoeopathic Medical Faculty, its teaching and its practice demonstrate through professors and students that Madame Allopathy a toutes ses tendresses. Under her equivocal influence, even our deans do not hesitate to swab the throats of patients with argyrol, and attempt to purify the veins with “specifics.”

Rectification and Confirmation, by Dr. Cahis, of Barcelona, Spain, testifies to the action of the high potency in cancer and other dyscrasiae.
In his Alkaloids Dr. Castellan, of Toulon, France, takes the ground that sulphate of quinine has done more harm than has malaria. We believe that he is correct. He is known to have proven, satisfactorily to himself, that quinine could never compete with the similimum. But how many of us can find the similimum

Vaccines, Sera and Homoeopathy, by Dr. Comet Fargas, tries to explain anaphylaxis via Homoeopathy, or rather Isopathy.
The Homoeopathician defies the scientific world to prove that germs are the causes of diseases. We maintain that the condition of the blood, in a given individual, is the basis for the spontaneous development of the microbic life in man. Germs are result, and not the cause of diseases. As results of disease, germs carry – through inoculation – the disease-causes into the inoculated. Where is the scientist who ever established the fact (not theory) that nature is an inoculator by germs?
Panchot and Chabry have already satisfied themselves that the normal sera – and not the contained products of bacteria – introduced into the blood-circulation, are the causes of results obtained through the administration of antitoxin sera. This would confirm our view, above stated: that the condition of the blood of the individual accounts for the microbic life which the individual will develop. Hence “germicides” were born of error. The best germicide is the best blood – that due to a normal vital force having complete sway in man.
Health and disease are but order and disorder in an organic, living structure, depending for their manifestations on orderly or disorderly dynamis. In the domain of dynamis, matter enters not, and the material germ, as such, could not disturb the orderly element of health. It could disturb only by virtue of the disorderly force it carries, from which it was born.

Records as propaganda
Homoeopathy is a law of Medicine and physicians are the persons best qualified to make the observations upon which alone a faith in the law can be justified. But while this would readily be granted, it is doubtful if the members of our medical army do their duty in the way of recording their experiences. It is true our adherents are none too numerous, and are nearly all busy (often overworked) men, yet if time could be found for the record of even one piece of experience every three months by each homoeopathic physician, we should in a few years have a body of recorded clinical evidence which would be invaluable for propaganda, for teaching, and for self-improvement.
As it is, Society Secretaries (not to say Editors,) have much difficulty in obtaining material; the few willing ones come forward again and again to help, and the vast majority are content to read (sometimes) the labors of others without any stimulation to produce something themselves.
We wish to suggest to our medical brethren that this is not as it should be.
Minority-causes demand some sacrifices from all those who believe in them, and those to whom Homoeopathy has become an asset for their work might surely pay a little of their debt.
It is a mistake to think that long and elaborate papers are the only worthy contributions. The labor would be slight, the reward to readers great, and to the writer not small, for experience recorded becomes more deeply impressed on the mind. If men cannot or will not set down their own experiences, will they translate those of others?
We commend the idea to the activities of the National Homoeopathic Fund, but the principal change needed is a realization by all of us –
First, that there is a constant need for fresh records.
Second, that we ourselves have a duty to perform in supplying them.
