Datura Ferox.
Datura ferox, from India. Symptoms from numerous cases of poisoning. Compare Stramonium. Symptoms on an average continued twenty-four hours, then usually recovery with the return of mental sensibility, on the second day contraction of pupil and in many cases an attack of fever, but in the fatal cases the tympanitis of abdomen, increased, coma set in with stertorous breathing, pulse weak, at last imperceptible, cold perspiration over whole body, death. Distressed appearance and did not like to be touched. Raving. Out of her mind, dizzy and sleepy, at last sleep, in which the eyes were more or less open if disturbed she sprang up raving and uttered unintelligible words, and if one sang she began to dance in the Japanese fashion. Delirium, characterized by incoherent talk and by peculiar movements of hands, as if to pick up something from the ground or moving away from an imaginary thing in the air. Tried to escape whenever held, and shouted loudly and attempted to strike and kick when caught. If left alone they lay on the ground curled up, with legs drawn up on abdomen and chest bent forward groaned incessantly but did not speak nor answer. Whenever they said anything it was with reluctance in boys a tendency to run away. Considerable strength, eight or ten persons were required to hold a patient when the stomach pump was used. Two brothers of 50 and 55 years wrestled with each other when alone in a room. Pupils always dilated and insensible to light, and in extreme cases ball insensible to touch. Conjunctiv clear or pale bluish for the first twelve hours, became bloodshot afterwards and remained so for nearly twenty-four hours. Sight could not be fixed on any object and lids were mostly kept closed. In almost all cases the lips inside of mouth, and throat were dry. Tongue dry, with thick fur, causing difficulty in swallowing and hoarseness. Stomach and bowels generally found loaded. Sour smell from, mouth due to undigested food in stomach. Vomiting took place of itself in one case only. Tympanitis. In one case, which died on the seventh day, symptoms of enteritis, fever and constant discharge of muco-sanguineous stool, peculiar, hoarse, feeble and hesitating speech, though answers were rational and senses perfect, rapid loss of flesh, no appetite, the day before death tetanic spasms, mostly in legs. Bowels in general costive, and they took a

long time to move even with purgatives, in a few cases looseness of bowels followed after they were once opened, and one man died of enteritis, discharging blood and mucus. Answers in an undertone when recovering ; answers shortly and quickly and suddenly appears to lose the string of thought, looks in another direction and wanders away as if thinking of something else. Pulse slow and full.

Its actions on the urinary secretion is uncertain and variable, but it is a valuable remedy (at least a palliative) in some forms of dropsy, with a weak heart.

Kali Bromatum.
The pure Bromide of Potash is dissolved in distilled water (1 to 99) for the first dilution. General Action :- Like other potash salts it weakens the heart and lowers the temperature. Its chief interest lies in the "Bromism" caused by it, the seat of which is in the spinal cord or the nerves leading to the brain cells. Tetaniform convulsions and even opisthotonos in animals ; in man, general failure of mental power, especially loss of memory and of words and melancholia, ansthesia of the mucous membranes, especially of eyes and throat, and of the skin ; acne ; loss of sexual desire, imbecility, idiocy, paralysis. Generalities :- Emaciation. Marasmus. Diminishes the retrograde metamorphosis of tissue. Diminishes mucous secretions. Capillary circulation affected, independent of heart and arteries. Threw himself down, closed his eyes, seemed above the earth, quite happy. Crouched by the fireside all day, devoid of energy and resolution. Convulsions, amel. appearance of eruption, papules of acne united in area, on these areas yellowish points beneath skin, on the surface a crust, and where this was rubbed the surface became peculiarly papillated. Ataxia of limbs and tongue and impeded articulation. Restlessness. Aversion to exercise. Lazy, indifferent and sleepy. Weakness ; muscular, and bruised feeling in limbs and loins ; muscular, becoming paralysis. Inability to hold herself upright. Fainting. Inability to move or feel. Diminished nervous sensibility in general and especially diminution of reflex sensibility. Insensibility. Clinical :- Convulsions, epileptiform in character, but it is doubtful
whether the drug really cures true epilepsy ; it certainly suppresses the convulsions for the time, in many cases, but it does not seem to remove the constitutional tendency to their recurrence ; nearly all cases of epilepsy are obliged to continue taking the drug, often in increasing doses, in order to obtain its palliative effect.
Mind :- Delirium. Delusions about persecution and violence. Imagined that he was singled out for Divine vengeance, loudly deplored his fate, but at intervals fell asleep suddenly, then sound sleep, next day he walked the room. Groaning and wringing his hands, said the officers were in search of him for robbing a friend. Delusion that she was deserted by her friends,

Kali Iodatum.
A first dilution is made of dissolving 1 part of Iodide of Potassium in 99 parts of water. General Action :- The action of this salt differs from that of Iodine as shown by the depressing action of Potassium and by less tendency to febrile excitement. In the respiratory tract we find catarrhal inflammation, with freer secretions and less fever (it has produced bloody expectoration). The increased salivation and urine followed by nephritis are similar to Iodine. Generalities :- Emaciation (Iod.). Marasmus resembling the third stage of phthisis. Nervous mobility. Trembling. Spasms. Subsultus tendinum. Attacks of jerking of limbs, agg. left arm, and of face, agg. left side, with anxiety, apprehension and palpitation, one attack ended with vomiting and headache, once violent rolling of left eyeball, pupils contracted, facial muscles contracted, left corner of mouth drawn downward, mouth opened and closed numberless times while uttering unintelligible words, short rapid respiration, pulse hard and full, forehead, neck and chest covered with sweat, face red, unconsciousness, after the paroxysm trembling, weeping, complaints of heaviness of left arm, abdomen small, soft, tongue white rather than yellow, efforts to vomit, amel. vomiting. Continual complaints. Sticking in left lower jaw, in tibia, left thigh, left forearm, in the bones, in forenoon. Tearing here and there. Pinching here and there, agg. evening. Gnawing in right upper teeth in forenoon, then in left ear, at last in tendon of hollow of left knee. Anguish. Agitation and nervous uneasiness. Distressing condition of nervous system. Nervous susceptibility exaggerated. Sensation of turning around. Malaise. Vague indescribable feelings in head, back and limbs. Restlessness. Weakness. Affects the fibrous structures, as the periosteum and capsular ligaments of joints. Most symptoms arise during rest and are amel. motion. Clinical :- The use of the drug in massive doses for symptoms of secondary syphilis, such as caries of the bones, syphilitic inflammations of the eyes, etc., etc., should not be included under the proper homopathic application of the drug. (Though Iodine is certainly homopathic to some stages of syphilis). Mind :- Half mad all night. Talkative and full of jokes. Sadness. Anxiety. Fright at every trifle.

Mercurius.
Triturations of pure Quicksilver, or of Hahnemann's black oxide (Mercurius solubilis, Hahnemanni), are used. It is probable that there is no essential difference in the effects of the two preparations. Pure Quicksilver is, however, to be preferred as more stable and perfectly pure. General Action :- Mercury produces in general profound anmia, with degeneration of the red corpuscles, loss of albumen and febrin and diminished coagulability of the blood ; with this there is a marked tendency to destructive action as seen in the inability of wounds to heal and in ulcerations of mucous surfaces and of the skin. Sore mouth, salivation, destruction of the teeth and gums, with enlarged glands, are among the earliest manifestations. Inflammation of the liver, and especially of the kidneys, is an almost constant effect. A low type of fever and a condition resembling scurvy frequently ensue. Instead of the ulcerations and inflammations nervous phenomena sometimes occur, paralysis agitans, epilepsy, melancholia, neuralgia and a remarkable chorea. The long bones are attacked rather than the flat ones (opposite of syphilis). The iris is never affected. Allies :- Iod., Nit. ac., Hep., Lyc., Nat. m., Plat., Aur., Tellur., Phos. Generalities :- Foul smell of whole body and breath. Emaciation (Iod.) ; then the frame speedily acquired greater bulk than it previously had. Cachectic condition. Child of a woman-worker was badly nourished and when a year old and no teeth. A daughter born during her mercurialismus was very small, only learned to walk when three years old, never was over four feet in height, had kyphoskoliotic curvature of the spine, head was drawn to chest and somewhat to left, and there was imperfect development of muscle and bone. Consumption. Scrofula in children ; and rachitis. Chlorosis and amenorrha, palpitation, weakness, loss of appetite ; C., face and mucous membrane pale, eyes watery, pulse small, rapid, great thirst, palpitation, dyspna, pains in head and stomach, dema of lower limbs, weakness, depressed mood, blowing sounds in carotids. Periostitis, then necrosis. Caries affects bones and joints that are never or rarely affected by syphilis. Exostosis, agg. tibia, seldom on upper arm or head, with swelling and sensitiveness of periosteum, agg. night, warmth of bed, cold, damp weather, thunder-storms, etc. So full of mercury that on

Those who had salivation rarely had tremors. Jerking (Plumb.) ; in tendons of fingers, toes and tendo-achillis in evening, with shaking chill that tossed him into the air ; of head, arms and fingers, agg. left, angles of mouth retracted, brows twitching, head constantly thrown back, but the agitation scarcely raised the arms, nostrils spasmodically dilated, short, rapid and painful contractions of sterno-mastoid, trapezius, scaleni, diaphragm and abdominal muscles, hiccough, speech interrupted and indistinct from jerking of tongue, attacks caused by a sudden cold blast, application of cold hand to the skin or abrupt entrance of any person into the ward, when he transmitted volition to any part it was instantly affected, when he tried to raise his foot from the ground it quivered and fell useless, when he attempted to put a vessel to his lips he carried it towards his ear, nose or forehead and spilled the contents on his face or neck.

General Action :- Its most pronounced characteristic is spasm of all muscle fibre, both voluntary and involuntary, characterized by extreme hypersthesia of the general nervous system ; these spasms are tetanic and seem to arise from the action of the poison on the motor tract of the spinal cord ; consciousness is rarely affected. Careful experiments have developed very prominent effects on the gastro-intestinal canal as well as on the vaso-motor nerves ; well marked gastro-intestinal catarrh accompanies an irregular action of the peristaltic muscles of the stomach and bowels ; well defined paroxysms of chill, fever and sweat are associated with the disturbances of the circulation. Very few tissue changes have been observed (mostly resulting from malnutrition). Allies :- Ign., Sulph., Puls., Lyc., Sec. c., Cic. v., Coccul, Cedr., Coff. Generalities :- Emaciation.

A saturated solution of Phosphorus in alcohol corresponds to the 3rd decimal dilution. General Action :- A tissue drug of first rank as well as a most virulent poison. It inflames and causes degeneration of the mucous membrane of the entire alimentary canal, causing gastritis, entero-colitis and dysentery, all characterized by destructive processes and hmorrhage. It inflames the kidneys. It causes acute yellow atrophy of the liver as well as a subacute hepatitis. It causes inflammation of the whole respiratory tract and pleuro-pneumonia. It produces an inveterate myelitis of the spinal cord and other nerves, will consequent paralyses. It destroys bone, particularly attacking the jaw and tibi. It disorganizes the blood and produces hmatogenous jaundice. It causes fatty degeneration of every tissue and organ in the body, predisposing to hmorrhages.

Much bleeding of small wounds. Hmorrhages from free surface and from tissues (Compare Crotal.). Blood when drawn was pale and had only about twice as many red as white corpuscles. Regurgitation, without effort of nearly pure blood, with epistaxis and oozing of blood from ears, the blood of these hmorrhages very fluid and difficult to coagulate, next day a little blood from throat, with these hmorrhages return of nervous

reddish tint gradually develops and is discharged by continued boiling, carbonate of sodium gives similar results, except that it requires longer boiling before the color is discharged, phosphate of sodium gives no results, the red stratum soon subsides to lower part of test tube, carried down by the phosphates, prolonged exposure to light in contact with excess of alkali bleaches the color and chlorine at once dissipates it, when the red liquid is examined with the spectroscope the red, orange and yellow rays are transmitted, while the blue end is absorbed, in a more dilute state the red and blue rays are transmitted.

Strophanthus Hispidus.
A tincture is made of the seeds of this plant, which belongs to that great order of cardiac poisons, namely, the Apocynacea. It acts directly upon the cardiac muscle. Compare Apocynum can., and allies. From a toxic dose, the heart, together with other muscles of the body, presses at the first onset from contraction to cadaveric rigidity, and its muscular fibre assumes an acid reaction. The action upon the heart is accompanied by an increase of blood-pressure, and in certain conditions by increase of urine and by lowering of the temperature. Face flushed, lips scarlet, eyes brilliant, temperature high skin dry, pupils dilating and contracting alternately every few seconds, pulse 140, arteries distended, left ventricle contracting with unusual vigor, aortic values closing with a loud and distinct "tup," a slight mitral regurgitant murmur, loquacity, no micturition for ten hours. Purging and vomiting. Clinical :- It has been found valuable for weak hart, the pulse becomes
slower, stronger and more regular ; it acts well in chronic nephritis, it increases the flow of urine and diminishes the dropsy, it however, down not seem to act well when there is much dema of the lungs. It acts best in functional disturbance of the heart, from a alcohol, tobacco, tea.
