অ্যালুমেন

ইহা একটি ক্ষয়জাতীয় সুগভীর ঔষধ এবং ক্ষেত্রবিশেষে ইহা একটি অতি প্রয়োজনীয় ঔষধ সন্দেহ নাই ।

পক্ষাঘাতসদৃশ দুর্বলতা ইহার বিশিষ্ট পরিচয়। এই দুর্বলতার জন্য রোগী কোষ্ঠবদ্ধ হইয়া পড়ে— মলত্যাগকালে অতিরিক্ত বেগ দিবার প্রয়োজন হয়। প্রস্রাবকালেও বেগ দিবার প্রয়োজন এবং প্রস্রাব হইয়া গেলেও রোগী মনে করে আরও প্রস্রাব রহিয়া গেল। মল শক্ত, গুটলে।

গ্ল্যাণ্ডের উপরও ইহার ক্ষমতা আছে; ম্যাণ্ডের বিবৃদ্ধি, গ্ল্যাণ্ডের প্রদাহ, গ্ল্যাণ্ডের ক্ষত–ক্ষত হইতে রক্তস্রাব; টনসিল প্রদাহ; ক্যান্সার ; লুপাস ; পলিপাস ।

এলুমিনা ন্যায় এই ঔষধও দেহে সকল অংশের পেশীসমূহে বিশেষ প্রকারের পক্ষাঘাতিক দুর্বলতা, এক প্রকার ক্রিয়াগত শিথিলতা উৎপন্ন করে। হাতপা দুৰ্বল হয়। এই দুর্বলতা বিশেষভাবে সরলান্ত্রে এবং মূত্রাশয়ে অনুভূত হয়। সরলান্ত্র এবং বৃহদন্ত্র তাহাদের আধেয় নির্গত করতে অক্ষম হওয়ায়, মল জমিয়া ঠাস হইয়া যায়। মূত্রাশয়ের কাৰ্যও শিথিল হয়। এবং রােগী অতিকষ্টে মূত্রত্যাগ করে। মূত্রত্যাগের পরেও সচরাচর মূত্রাশয় অর্ধপূর্ণ অবস্থায় থাকিয়া যায়। প্রস্রাবক্রিয়া আরম্ভ হইতে বিলম্ব হয় এবং রােগী প্রস্রাব করিতে দাঁড়াইলে উহা হিপারের ন্যায় লম্বা রেখার আকারে নির্গত হইতে পারে। ইহা হইতে আমরা ক্রিয়ার শিথিলতা

তিনি মার এই ঔষধের আর একটি বিশিষ্টতা এই যে, যেখানেই দেহের উপরিভাগে প্রাদাহিক লক্ষণ থাকে, সেইখানেই কঠিনতা দেখা দেয়। যেসকল ঔষধে এইরূপ লক্ষণ থাকে, তাহারা সকলেই অল্পাধিক ক্যান্সার জাতীয় রােগের সহিত সম্বন্ধযুক্ত হয়। কারণ ক্যান্সার রােগের প্রকৃতিতে আমরা কঠিনতাপ্রাপ্তির প্রবণতা দেখিতে পাইয়া থাকি। এলুমেন ঔষধটিতে ক্ষত একটি সাধারণ জিনিষ, ক্ষতের মধ্যে কঠিনতা থাকে, ক্ষতের তলদেশ কঠিন হয়। অথবা চর্মের উপর যেখানে রক্তসঞ্চালন ক্ষীণ থাকে, উদাহরণ স্বরূপউপাস্থিময় অংশে ছােট ছােট আঁইসব পদার্থ জন্মে এবং ঐগুলি খুব পুরু কঠিন মামড়ীতে পরিণত হয়। এই মাড়ীর নীচে রসপ্রসেক হয়, মামড়ী উঠিয়া যাইতে থাকে, কিন্তু টিসুসমূহের দুর্বলতা এবং গতিবিধায়ক শক্তির পক্ষাঘাতের জন্য আরােগ্যক্রিয়া স্থগিত থাকে। বহিঃত্বকের অর্বুদ ইহা ছাড়া বেশী কিছু নহে; সুতরাং এই ঔষধে আমরা উপত্বকের অর্বুদ এবং অন্যান্য ক্যান্সার সদৃশ রােগ পাই। কর্কটরােগ এক বিশেষ প্রকারের কঠিনতা ছাড়া আর কি? যখন দেহের নিয়মিত কাৰ্য্য মৃদু প্রকৃতির জীবনধারায় পরিণত হয়, টিসুসমূহ সামান্য ভাবে প্রস্তুত হইতে থাকে, টিসুসমূহ প্রদাহিত হয় এবং সামান্যমাত্র উত্তেজনাতেই কঠিনতা প্রাপ্ত হইতে থাকে, তখন আমরা দেখিতে পাই যে, এই প্রকার ধাতুবিশিষ্ট ব্যক্তিগণ যক্ষ্মা, মূত্রগ্রন্থিপ্রদাহ, বহুমূত্র, কর্কটরােগ প্রভৃতি গভীরমূল রােগের জন্য পূর্ব হইতেই প্রবণতাযুক্ত হইয়া আছেন। আমরা যেন শেষ পরিণতির সীমারেখায় উপস্থিত হইয়াই আছি, এখন কিছু ঘটিলেই হইল। এই ঔষধ দেহের নিয়মিত কাৰ্য্যকে এরূপ বিশৃঙ্খল অবস্থায় লইয়া যায় যে, টিসুগঠন সামান্যভাবে চলিতে থাকে এবং অনেক ক্ষেত্রেই এইরূপ কঠিনতা কর্কটরােগে পরিণত হয়। ইহা একটি দীর্ঘকালক্রিয় সােরাদোষ নাশক ঔষধ

( এই ঔষধে জরায়ু গ্রীবার এবং স্তনগ্রন্থির কঠিনতা প্রাপ্তির প্রবণতা আছে। গ্রন্থিগুলি ধীরে ধীরে প্রদাহিত হয় এবং উহা সাধারণ প্রকারের রক্তসঞ্চয় এবং কঠিনতাতেই নিবৃত্ত হয় না, কিন্তু বুলেটের ন্যায় শক্ত হইয়া উঠে। এই কঠিনতা দেহের নানা গ্রন্থিতে বিস্তৃত হয়, কিন্তু টনসিল গ্রন্থিদ্বয়েই বিশেষভাবে দেখিতে পাওয়া যায়। কারণ, যাহাদের সর্দি লাগার প্রবণতা থাকে এবং সর্দি গলায় বসিবার প্রবণতা থাকে, তাহাদের ক্ষেত্রে সৰ্দিটি বিশেষভাবে টনসিলদ্বয়কেই বাছিয়া লইয়া উহাদিগকেই কঠিন করিয়া তুলে। এইভাবে সর্দি লাগা চলিতে থাকিলে টনসিলদ্বয় বৃদ্ধিপ্রাপ্ত কঠিন হইতে থাকে। এরূপ ক্ষেত্রে আমাদের এলুমেন নামক ঔষধটি সমগ্র অবস্থায়, কঠিনতা প্রাপ্তি এবং রসপ্রসেকের পক্ষে উপযােগী হয়; এবং লক্ষণসমূহের মিল হইলেসমঃ সমং শময়তিনীতি অনুসারে রােগীকে আরােগ্য করিয়া তুলে। এই ঔষধ সেই সব ছােট ছােট বালকবালিকাকেও আরােগ্য করে, যাহাদের দৈহিক বৃদ্ধির সহিত টনসিলদ্বয়ও অত্যধিক বাড়িতে এবং অত্যন্ত শক্ত হইতে থাকে এবং সর্দি লাগিলেই তাহা গলায় বসিয়া যায়। ব্যারাইটাতেও এইরূপ প্রবণতা আছে এবং এলুমেন ব্যারাইটা সমগুণ ঔষধ। কোন রাগীর এক বিশেষ প্রকার ধাতু হইল এবং বিশেষভাবে পরীক্ষার পর দেখা গেল যে, সে ব্যারাইটার রােগী। অপর একটি রােগীতে তুমি পৃথক প্রকারের ধাতু দেখিতে পাইবে এবং বিশেষভাবে পরীক্ষার পর দেখিতে পাইবে যে, সে এলুমেনের রােগী। পরবর্তী একটি হয়তসালফারের রােগী হইবে এবং যত্ন করিয়া পরীক্ষা করিলে তুমি হয়ত দেখিবে যে, তৎপরবর্তীটিক্যাল্কেরিয়া কাৰ্ব্বে রােগী; এবং তারপরেরটি ক্যাল্কেরিয়া আইয়ডের রােগী এবং এইভাবে পূৰ্ব্ববর্ণিত অবস্থাগুলির সহিত মিল খায়, এরূপ ঔষধগুলি একে একে মনে আসিতে থাকিবে। আমরা যদি এরূপ লক্ষণসমষ্টি পাই, যাহা দ্বারা ধাতুগত অবস্থাটি চিত্রিত হয়, তাহা হইলে আমাদের কোন ঝঞ্জাটই থাকে না। লক্ষণগুলি ভালভাবে সংগৃহীত হইলে, রােগীর রােগও সারিয়া যাওয়ার মতই হইল, কারণ তখন ঔষধটি নির্বাচন করা সহজ | এই ঔষধটি আংশিকভাবে পরীক্ষিত হওয়ায় ইহার বিবরণও অসম্পূর্ণ। আমি আংশিকভাবে পরীক্ষিত ঔষধগুলি লইয়া আললাচনা করিতে চাহি না, কিন্তু যখন তাহাদের মধ্যে দৈনন্দিন

She said, “Oh, mother, I feel so strangely, I think I have the cramp”. Cham. relieved, but there remained great vertigo and nausea; she complained of being very cold, but did not shudder; great weakness, as after long illness, with headache lasting all afternoon.

A CASE STUDY

Dr. M.S. Hakimji L.C.E.H.

CASE:

Master Murtuza aged 3 years, a Muslim child residing in Singapore was brought to me on 27.2.86, C / o. Chronic constipation since infancy. The child was given a lot of allopathic purgatives since infancy for his ailment. At present he could pass his stools only after an enema. The stools were hard, dry, offensive, occasionally in form of round balls. Mucus was absent. The Child had to strain a lot during defaecation. The child preferred to pass stools, standing. Child also occasionally complained of epigastric pain and vomiting. He did not like anyone around while passing stools.

He was slim & tall for his age. A poor eater he had a strong dislike for solid foods and fruits. He liked cold drinks, aerated waters, lemons, pungent things, soups and salt. His thirst was as less as his appetite. A hot child, he was uncomfortable in the sun and preferred a cold bath.

The child was born Caesarean and breast fed till 6 mths. Supplementary feeds were started from 6 months onwards. The child disliked the bottle and had to be spoon-fed. The childs milestones were normal.

A playful, quiet and intelligent child, he was extremely apprehensive of being examined. That I presumed was due to the fact that the child had been seen by various doctors before being brought to me. According to the mother, the child used to get frightened easily. He was a light sleeper awakening every two hours before going back to sleep. There was no past history of any major illness.

Family history revealed that the mother had suffered from 2 miscarriages prior to the birth of the patient and had hypertension and urinary tract infection during her pregnancy. She had also suffered from meningitis and jaundice during her childhood. The paternal grandmother suffered from gout, while the maternal grandmother had hypertension, rheumatic pains and ischaemic heart disease. The maternal grandfather suffered from rheumatoid arthritis.

ON EXAMINATION:

T.R.P. (N)

Tongue: Clean & Moist.

Teeth: Upper incisors cupped.

P / A Soft – full of faecal lumps.

Guarding +

Peristalsis +

INVESTIGATIONS:

Barium Enema of 11 / 12 / 85 was suggestive of Redundant sigmoid colon.

DIAGNOSIS: Chronic constipation due to Redundant sigmoid colon.

The child was advised surgery by the Orthodox School. Could we as homoeopathic physicians do some thing?

Well, the treatment commenced with a single dose of Ambra grisea 30 and sac lac pills there times a day. The child was all right for two days. Ambra Grisea 30 was repeated and the problem resolved again. Since the child was going back to Singapore, I gave him both Ambra Grisea 30 & Sac Lac pills, asking the parents to give Ambra Grisea only if improvement stopped. They were asked to report after one month. A month later, I received a letter stating that the problems continued as earlier. He passed the stool only while Ambra Grisea was given.

This time I also received the history that his food was being prepared in aluminum vessels. I sent word asking the parents to stop cooking in aluminium vessels and a few doses of Alumina 30. Alumina 30 was a wrong hasty prescription. The very next day I received an urgent call saying that the child was very bad, vomiting and having severe tenesmus. Alumina 30 was stopped forthwith & an enema was given to relieve the child.

It was then I decided to give what was upper most in my mind, and which if you go through the case carefully is the only remedy indicated in this case. Syphilinum 1M, 1 dose was given on 23.5.86 and a week later 1 more dose repeated. The childs problem resolved as if a magic wand had been passed over him. He passed stools freely, though only after 4 days. Besides that his shyness also diminished. Till today he remains free of his problem which plagued him from infancy.

CASE REPORTS.

CASE I. Male, age 57, married, 3 children; occupation: garage business; weight 144 lbs. Chief complaints: loss of appetite, chronic indigestion and constipation; duration twelve years. Has tried all sorts of treatment and diets without relief. Becoming increasingly weak and emaciated.

His wife was informed by at least one physician that her husbands trouble was undoubtedly cancer.

Patient was thin and anemic in appearance, bordering on cachexia. Mentally very irritable and brooding much over his condition. Complained of feeling dazed and confused in his mind. Unable to decide matters pertaining to his business. Compelled to lie down and rest several times a day. Unable to be actively engaged in his work and reaching a point where he could no longer give his business adequate supervision. Rumbling, gurgling noises in the abdomen were frequent and annoying. Chronic constipation for many years. Much ineffectual urging, the stool being variable, sometimes hard, sometimes soft, often nodular and lumpy. Dryness of mouth with a metallic taste has been a persistent symptom, also dryness of the skin with annoying itching. A feeling of weakness and uncertainty in the back and legs has been increasingly complained of with easy fatigue on walking.

Phantom tumor of the abdomen has appeared from time to time in various locations probably due to incarcerated flatus.

Pending selection of the remedy suitable dietary correction was instituted but without relief. Study of the case resulted in the selection of Alumina as the indicated remedy. This selection raised a question as to whether the patient needed potentized Alumina or whether he was being poisoned by the metal. Upon inquiry it was discovered that aluminum utensils were used at home in the preparation of food but in order for this to be etiologic significant the patient would have to be allergic to aluminum. As a precautionary measure the discontinuance of the use of such utensils was advised. Fortunately in marking a re- examination a discovery was made that had been overlooked the first time. The patient worse an upper denture the base of which had a bright metallic appearance. Upon inquiry the patient stated that the denture was mounted in aluminum. How long had he worn this plate? Twelve or thirteen years. How long had he been suffering? About twelve years.

Instead of prescribing Alumina the immediate discarding of the aluminum denture was advised. This proved to be the turning point in the case and a rapid and uneventful recovery has resulted. Improvement began in less than two weeks after the aluminum poisoning was stopped. Now after several months everyone says that the patient seems better than he has for years. He no longer suffers from indigestion; the bowels are regular and he is looking after his business every day.

We were doubtless more fortunate than wise in discovering the true etiology of this case. The unusual appearance of the denture had escaped us at a previous examination. This serves to emphasize the importance of a careful physical examination as a routine procedure in every case.

CASE II. The only possible excuse for this case was that it occurred many years ago. A man who had enjoyed shad for dinner complained of a fish bone sticking in the roof of the mouth. Examination with a good light disclosed nothing and the patient was informed that the sensation might persist for a while after the fish bone was gone. In a short time he returned with the same complaint in the same spot on the palate. Again no fish bone was discovered even by means of a digital examination.

Just why he returned the third time will always remain a mystery. He should have been hunting for another doctor. “Its still there, Doc,” he said, “right there”, pointing to a spot on the hard palate. “I can feel it every time I rub my tongue over it”.

Luck was with us for when he mentioned the word tongue it actually did occur to us to examine the tongue and sure enough there was the fish bone as plain as day.

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.

[ SEnd questions to Dr. Eugene Underhill, Jr. 2010 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Penna].

Question: WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE REMEDY IN HOMOEOPATHY FOR WEANING AN OPIUM ADDICT? DR. A. S. RAJAH, SINGAPORE.

Answer: Probably the most effective remedy for weaning an opium addict is Nux vom. high, and next, Opium high. Sometimes Ipecac comes in and occasionally Lycopodium, with the emaciation from above downward that so often occurs in these patients.

The most effective remedy is, of course, the most similar, and each individual personality must be taken into consideration, and the reaction of that patient under the narcotic itself. Dr. H.A. ROBERTS, DERBY, CONN.

Question: IS THERE ANY SPECIAL HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR OPIUM SMOKERS? DR. A.S. RAJAH, SINGAPORE.

Answer 1: The treatment for opium smokers would naturally be first antidotal and then constitutional-in other words, first the treatment for an acute condition to be followed by the chronic remedy-and the remedy may be the same of different. In the constitutional treatment the above statements would hold as well as for weaning the patient. In the excitable stages have particularly in mind Belladonna and Hyoscyamus, with their clear indications: Lachesis and some of the snake venoms in the more subtle cases, especially Naja with its nervous reactions. In the acute states of wakeful excitement Coffea. In the exceedingly childish states of irritability Chamomilla. In the downright sulky ugliness Nux vom.

Do not think for one minute that these remedies are all that might be indicated, for there are many that may be called for. Opium has a most profound effect on the very character of an addict, affecting as it does the mental, nervous and physical system of the patient. DR. H.A. ROBERTS, DERBY, CONN.

Answer 2: Pulsatilla and Muriatic Acid for the diarrhoea, Chamomilla for nervous states.

After the first remedies Calcarea sulph. and Kali phos. help build up the nervous system. Any of the five may be needed for the condition, depending upon individual symptoms. In my own experience Calcarea sulph. has been my best remedy. DR. A.H.GRIMMER, CHICAGO, ILL.

The case reported by Dr. Elliott in November issue is remarkable in many particulars. One of the most remarkable features was the persistence of the Doctor in letting good enough alone. He evidently “knows a thing or two” of the human system and of Homoeopathy. I wish to record a case now under treatment.

Mrs. B., aet. fifty, apparently well for her, of nervous temperament, has had a lifetime of constipation. Her brother-in-law is a prominent allopathic surgeon in Chicago, and has racked his brain and bothered his colleagues not a little to relieve this lady.

The whole list of purgatives have passed through, some singly, with a slow plod, and others in combinations innumerible, have gone with a “hop-step-and-jump,” sweeping everything before them, and not stopping for two or three days afterward, but the old trouble returned; so, for years she did nothing.

The “enemas” or “clysters,” in reality rectal injections, were used on special occasions. It was her habit to go two or three weeks without movement, and of late years she very frequently goes six weeks with no inclination to movement. This interval has been common for several years. Then she empties out in two or three days and dispenses with that function for another such interval.

I have given her an occasional prescription for some new trouble, and perhaps one call would suffice for the time. She has been abroad for months at a time. At my request she called on Dr. Skinner, but twice found him out. She called on a physician in Germany who gave her one powder, with a request to call again “in four weeks,” but she received no effect and did not see him again.

On inquiry she stated that during the interval of bowel suspense the urine was much increased. The stools are not peculiar. About two weeks since I gave her a dose of Alumen 1m (Skinner), but have had no report since.

In Vol. IV, p. 238, of The Clinique, Dr. Bailey has detailed a remarkable case in which Morphia hypodermically seemed to be the only agent used which produced a movement of the bowels. The intervals were: “February 13th to April 28th, unchanged, no movement of the bowels whatever; May 1st to 28th; May 30th to June 17th; June 30th to July 13th.”

He there states that the constipation appeared soon after the disappearance of an abscess in the lower portion of left lung, (probably.)

Phthisis was hereditary.

In Vol. V, p. 449, of same journal, he gave a subsequent report of the case with post-mortem record.

“After an illness of more than five years my patient died, October 31st, 1884, of phthisis pulmonalis. The bowels were inactive, the intervals varying from one to nine weeks.”

Atrophic changes were marked in various organs, “the peritoneum was as thin as tissue paper and glued by adhesions to the intestines. The stomach was divided by constricting peritoneal bands, so as to separate it into two quite distinct compartments of nearly equal size, and as an organ was enlarged and distended. The omentum was firmly adherent, producing a serious knotting together of the entire small intestines. The transverse colon was greatly distended and enlarged, and pouched by constrictions the same as already noted. At the splenic flexure there was a great band, which by encircling the colon had caused an abrupt narrowing of its calibre, as great as the change in diameter of a wrist to that of an index finger, which was literally true in this case. This narrowing of the descending colon was continued until it had reached the signoid flexure; here a congenital malformation was noted, the colon traversing across the lower abdomen, a curve being found at a point just over the ilio-coecal valve, from thence passing downward and backward terminated in an enormous pouch which completely filled the inferior outlet of the pelvis. All shape of the rectum had been lost. The bladder was shrunken to the size of a walnut. The constipation was a result of pathological changes, and in part congenital. The disease was tubercular.”

My patient does not show a tubercular tendency, but may later. I think the above will give us hints in the study of such cases.

Alumn

In 1899 Mr. E. reported that he had had eczema between the shoulders, for years, temporarily removed, at times, by Sulphur paste. Once had several boils with roughness of the skin in that part. About four years previously he had pain and pressure in the rectum. He supposed that a hemorrhoid had protruded but found it was easily returned within the rectum. About three years after its first appearance, this growth became very large and painful. After an allopath had prescribed lead lotion, and a mongrel homoeopath diagnosed “piles,” and advised their removal, neither advice being followed, Hazeline was employed. The tumor became much worse, with intense pain after stool. Six months previous to the visit, an allopath made an examination, the first that the patient had been given. He discovered, and removed, a polypus with its stem beginning half way up the rectum. He said there was not the slightest chance of a return of the trouble.

Four or five months later, the patient became more constipated; one day he thought he had strained the rectum, during evacuation, after which he used glycerine enemata with benefit. He said he had no faith in Homoeopathy, but one of my patients had advised his consultation, as surgery and allopathy had failed.

I replied that in Homoeopathy works precede faith, and that I was glad that he did not believe, because after he was cured, no one could say it was the effects of faith or of imagination.

1900.

Nov. 11. Rectum-pain in region of internal sphincter, as if strangulated, since August, recently, much worse;

Paroxysms begin 1/2 to 1 hour after stools; sometimes continue all day, and even into the night.

Burning pain about anus.

Shooting pain from anus extending down one-third the inner side or left thigh; not affected by glycerine enemata.

Before polypus was removed, pain aggr. when standing.

Diagnosis of the Remedy: The keynote was the rectal pain extending down the thighs. This belongs only to Alumen (Kent’s Repertory and symptom 192 in Allen’s Encyclopaedia). This remedy has also burning pain in anus, and hard stools.

Constriction during evacuation belongs to the allied remedy, Alumina; but the provings of Alumen are yet incomplete.

Alumen 1m. F. C. One dose.

Dec. 16. Rectal pains improved almost immediately, and in about ten days had almost ceased; entirely absent for past two weeks. Burning around anus absent for past two weeks. Faecal evacuations improved in about ten days; now nearly normal.

1900.

Jan. 30. No more rectal pain. Bowels normal.

He now firmly knows that Hahnemannian Homoeopathy is true. There was no return of rectal trouble to time when last seen, Dec., 1906. He has remained in my care, and sent his family and friends, also, to me. His subsequent history may be of interest.

1899.

Dec. 27. Cough, following cold effects, forces him to kneel on the bed, with head downward.

Eup. perf. cm. F. Cured.

1902.

April 10. Remained in perfect health until re-vaccination with calf-lymph, last November.

Arm very sore for five or six weeks; pustules, very offensive odor.

Influenza about six weeks later, which was easily thrown off.

Hemorrhoids left side rectum, followed influenza;

Pain as if cut open with a knife. Relieved by use of Arsen. 3.

Influenza again, about four weeks ago, followed by re-appearance of Hemorrhoid.

Pain prevents sleep past three nights; Aching extends to 1. natis.

Diagnosis of the remedy: Repertory gives thirty-nine remedies under cutting in rectum. Of these, Silica and Thuja are the chief antidotes to the vaccine virus, and Silica occupies first rank as to the cutting pain.

Silica 6m. F. C. One dose.

May 7. Cutting pain decidedly improved the same day of last report; in two days, it and aching in 1. natis entirely ceased.

1906.

Dec. 3. No return of rectal trouble.

Asthma, past few years, beginning near end of October.

This year, more intense and longer continued.

5 A. M. or earlier (to-day, 3:45 a. m.) wheezing and coughing for an hour.

Cough forces him to sit up and lean forward to r. side. expectoration scant.

Symptoms usually continue for an hour; entirely absent by 10 A. M.

Chest wooden sensation, as if no elasticity.

Soreness 1. side, these two days.

Heart pulsation rapid.

No desire for smoking, past two months.

Irritable when rising at 8 a. m.; disposed to quarrel; amel. after an hour.

Diagnosis of the Remedy: Repertory gives eight remedies for irritability when rising in morning, two remedies for asthma. 4-5 a. m.

Natrum sulph. also belongs to both. Other symptoms were not especially characteristic or were common.

Natrum. sulph. cm. F. One dose.

Dec. 20. Has had influenza for two weeks, but has now thrown it off and is much better.

Asthma was improved, the day after the remedy was taken.

Wheezy from 7 to 8 a. m., yet

Respiration difficult until 9 a. m.

Chest constriction across upper part not entirely disappeared.

Sleep good; does not waken until 6 A. M.

Generally much improved and enjoys his pipe.

Irritability unchanged.

No complaints since.

(1) This case illlustrates the selection of the remedy from the key-notes alone, but this should be done, only when other symptoms of the case are common, or when the remedy has not been completely proved.

(2) Surgical operation accomplished nothing. The only relief was a mechanical one: the pain not then aggr. by standing.

(3) The peculiar cough symptom of Eup. per. I have verified, clinically, in three patients.

(4) The effects of vaccination are suggestive. Boenninghausen considered variola and vaccine both belonging to the Sycotic miasm; for which he places Thuja in the first rank, and Silica its second, but Silica occupies first rank in the cutting pain. Hence its selection.

(5) The effects of “mark of the beast” appears to have continued longer, for Natrum sulph., which relieved the asthma, is also sycotic. Perhaps Silica expended its energy chiefly on the evident Psoric taint.
