PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION
$illiam Boericke
%&'(-%()(, *+
,n preparing the ninth edition of this work, , have followed the lines laid out for
all the previous editions, namely, to present in a condensed form the
hom-opathic .ateria .edica for practical use.
/he book contains the well known verified characteristic symptoms of all our
medicines besides other less important symptoms aiding the selection of the
curative remedy, !ll the new medicines and essentials of the published clinical
experience of the school have been added. ,n its present compact form it contains
the maximum number of reliable .ateria .edica facts in the minimum space.
, have tried to give a succinct resume of the symptomatology of every medicine
used in 0om-opathy, including also clinical suggestions of many drugs so far
not yet based on provings, thus offering the opportunity to experiment with
these and by future provings discover their distinctive use and so enlarging our
armamentarium.
, am aware that there is a difference of opinion about the advisability of further
introduction of remedies, especially of such as seem obsolete or to some minds
illusory. But it is not for the compiler to leave out information about any
substance that has received the clinical endorsement from a reliable source.
Our .ateria .edica must include all substances which have been proved and
which have been used with apparent efficacy. ,t rests with the individual student
to 1udge for himself the accuracy and, reliability of such observation. ,n this
connection, , cannot forego to avail myself of the high authority of that master of
0om-opathy, 2r. Constantine 0ering, favoring the introduction of all remedies
capable of producing reactions in the body that may guide to their medicinal
employment. 30om-opathy is essentially not only many-sided but all-sided. +he
investigates the action of all substances, whether articles of diet, beverages,
condiments, drugs or poisons. +he investigates their action on the healthy, the
sick, animals and plants. +he gives4 a new interpretation to that ancient, oft
5uoted saying of #aul, #rove all things66a new meaning, a new application that
acts universally. 7limination of the useless may gradually take place with the
growth of accurate physiological and pathological knowledge.3
!gain, imperfectly proved remedies necessitate the use of names of diseases at
times instead of the component symptoms that alone are the legitimate guide to
the choice of the curative remedy. 0ere, too, , have 0ering as pioneer guide for
the legitimacy of this method, which he also followed in his great work, the
8uiding +ymptoms. 0e said that he used the disease designations not for the
1
purpose of recommending the particular remedy for that disease, but to show the
great variety of remedies that may be used for any form of disease when
otherwise indicated. 9or the same reason , have included nosological terms in the
symptomatology and /herapeutic ,ndex, as this is a practical handbook for
every-day service, and any aid for finding the curative remedy ought to be
utili:ed. !s 2r. ;. Compton Burnett expresses it
3/he fact is we need any and every way of finding the right remedy4 the simple
simile, the simple symptomatic similimum and the farthest reach of all-the
pathologic similimum, and , maintain that we are still well within the line- of
0om-opathy that is expansive, progressive, science fostered and science
fostering.3
/he dosage needs some apology. ,t is, of course, suggestive only4 more often to
be wholly disregarded. , have followed the lines of the earlier 0om-opathists in
this regard, and given what was then considered the usual range of potency, to
which , have added my own experience and that of many observing
practitioners. 7very teacher of .ateria .edica is constantly importuned by
students to suggest the potency66something to start with at least.
/he book is in no sense a treatise, and must not be considered or 1udged as such.
,t is as accurate and reliable a compilation and the fullest collection of verified
.ateria .edica facts and clinical suggestions as it is possible to obtain within the
compass of the volume. ,t supplements every other work on .ateria .edica, and
if used as a ready reminder of the essential facts of our vast symptomatology and
as an introduction to the larger books of reference and record of provings, it will
fulfill its purpose and prove a useful aid to the student and general practitioner.
!s such it is again offered with much appreciation of past endorsement to his
professional brethren.
, have been aided in seeing this edition through the press by the efficient help of
.r. 9. O. 7rnesty, who has lightened the labor of making the manuscript more
acceptable to the printers, and , desire to express my hearty appreciation of this
kind and helpful service.

!drenaline or 7pinephrine, the active principle of the medulla of the suprarenal

!rteries, heart, supra-renal bodies and vaso-motor system are prominently
affected. /he main action of !drenaline is stimulation of the sympathetic

2.2
classification are to be mentioned disturbances in the muscles such as myositis,
periostitic processes of the bones in form of doughy swellings, changes of the
fascias such as 2upyutren@s contraction, skin troubles such as chronic ec:ema,
psoriasis and loss of hair, kidney disturbances such as subacute and chronic
nephritis. ,n these cases formic acid in %)x and DIx, hypodermically % cc is
indicated at intervals of )-' weeks. 7ight till twelve days after the first in1ection
an aggravation is often noticed.
,n acute rheumatic fever and acute gonorrh-ic arthritis formic acid Hx, every six
days % cc, sometimes %)x in sensitive patients shows often splendid results
abolishing the pains and preventing reoccurrence.
Chronic arthritis needs a special discussion. Clinical experiments of the 0ering
research <aboratory of the 0ahnemann .edical College of #hiladelphia on a
great number of cases of arthritis with formic acid showed that it preferably acts
on the ligaments, capsula and bursa of the 1oints. +uch kind of cases respond
very readily to treatment.
/he prognosis depends to a large extent upon the etiology of the case. /he most
satisfactory cases are chronic arthritis in connection with gouty diathesis.
Chronic arthritis following an attack of acute rheumatic fever shows also
remarkable results although often pains of a neuralgic character persisting in
certain spots are very stubborn. 9inally chronic arthritis of traumatic nature can
be cured by formic acid. ,n the latter case formic acid Hx showed 5uicker and
better results than %)x or DIx which are indicated in the previous cases. ,n
general the disappearance of the stiffness of the 1oint is the first sign of
improvement. /hen the pain and swelling cease gradually in %-H months time.
/he prognosis of the formic acid treatment is not so favorably in chronic arthritis
in which deformans processes have already taken place on the articular surfaces.
+uch processes in the beginning can be checked completely, advanced cases
fre5uently show an improvement. But there is always the possibility that this
improvement is only temporary. /his is particularly to be expected in the cases of
the so-called arthritis deformans in which even the inflammations on the
ligaments and capsula are of a very progressive character3.

2affodil bulbs contain an alkaloid the action of which, according to authorities,
varies as to whether the alkaloid is extracted from the flowering bulb or from the
bulb after flowering. /hus in the former case the alkaloid produces dryness of
the mouth, checks cutaneous secretions, dilates the pupil of the eye, 5uickens the
pulse, and slows and weakens the heart contractions. On the other hand, the
alkaloid from the bulbs after flowering produces copious salivation, increases
cutaneous secretion, contracts the pupil of the eye, produces slight relaxation of
the pulse, and slight faintness and nausea.66/he <ancet.

Eel er"m
/he serum of the eel has a toxic action on the blood, rapidly destroying its
globules. /he presence of albumin and renal elements in the urine, the
hemoglobinuria, the prolonged anuria A)' and )H hoursB, together with the
.61
results of the autopsy, plainly demonstrate its elective action on the kidneys.
+econdarily, the liver and the heart are affected, and the alterations observed are
those usually present in infectious diseases.
9rom all these facts it is easy to infer, a priori, the therapeutical indications of the
serum of the eel. $henever the kidney becomes acutely affected, either from cold
or infection or intoxication, and the attack is characteri:ed by oliguria, anuria
and albuminuria, we will find the eel@s serum eminently efficacious to re-
establish diuresis, and in rapidly arresting albuminuria. $hen during the course
of heart-disease, the kidney, previously working well, should suddenly become
affected and its function inhibited4 and when besides we observe cardiac
irregularities and a marked state of asystolia, we may yet expect good results
from this serum. But to determine here the choice of this remedy is not an easy
matter. $hile digitalis presents in its indications, the well-known symptomatic
trilogy arterial hypertension oliguria and -dema4 the serum of the eel seems
better adapted to cases of hypertension and oliguria, without -dema. $e should
bear in mind that the elective action of the eel@s serum is on the kidney, and ,
believe we can well assert that if digitalis is a cardiac, the eel@s serum is a renal
remedy. +o far, at least, the clinical observations published seem to confirm this
distinction. /he serum of the eel has given very small results in attacks of
asystolia4 but it has been very efficacious in cardiac urEmia. /here, where
digitalis is powerless, the serum of the eel has put an end to the renal obstruction
and produced an abundant diuresis. But its really specific indication seems to be
for acute nephritis a frigori A;oussetB
+ubacute nephritis. 0eart diseases, in cases of failure of compensation and
impending asytole. /he experiments of 2r. ;ousset have amply demonstrated the
rapid hEmaturia, albuminuria and oliguria caused by it. ,n the presence of acute
nephritis with threatening urEmia we should always think of this serum. Very
efficacious in functional heart diseases. .itral insufficiency, asystolia with or

"ose.66/uberculin needs more fre5uent repetition in children@s complaints than
nearly every other chronic remedy A0. 9ergie $oodsB. /hirtieth and much
higher, in infre5uent doses. $hen /uberculinum fails +yphilinum often follows
advantageously, producing a reaction.
3/he use of /uberculinum in phthisis pulmonalis demands attention to the
following points ,n apyretic purely tubercular phthisis results are marked,
provided the eliminative organs are in good order, but nothing below the %IIIth
should be used, unless absolutely necessary. $ith patients where
streptostaphylo-pneumococci are in the bronchi4 where also after washing the
sputum, a pure 3t b. 3 bacilli-mass remains, the same treatment is indicated. $ith
mixed infection-found in the ma1ority of cases-where the sputum swarms with
virulent micro-organisms in addition to the 3t b. 3, other procedure is necessary.
,f the heart is in good shape, a single dose of /uberculinum %III-)III is given,
provided there are no marked indications for other remedies. $ith due attention
to temperature and possible excretions, the dose is allowed to work until effects
are no longer observed, eight days to eight weeks. *sually a syndrome then
presents, permitting the accurate choice of an antipsoric +ilica, <ycopodium,
#hosphorus, etc. !fter a while the picture again darkens and now a high potency
of the isopathic remedy corresponding to the most virulent and prominent
micro-organism found in the sputum is given +taphylo-+trepto-, or
#neumococcin. /he accurate bacteriological analysis of the sputum is absolutely
essential4 the choice of the ison again clears the picture, and so, proceeding on the
one side etiologically Awhere these isopathica have not yet been provedB4 on the
other side symptomatically with antipsoric remedies, the disease is dominated.
.y own experience warns, in the case of mixed infection, against the use of
+trepto-, +taphylo-, or #neumococcin below the JIIth. , use them only from )III
to %III, having seen terrible aggravations from the DI, %II, )II, with a lowering
temperature from %I' to (H. 0ence the admonition, which need not concern
scoffers, but those alone who wish to avail themselves of a potent weapon. /he
toxins used as remedies are, like /uberculinum, prepared from pure and virulent
cultures.
!nd cases, seemingly condemned to speedy death, are brought in a year or two
back to normal temperature, though, of course, sacrificing a large portion of lung
tissue. /his result is sure when the patient can and will take care of himself,
where the heart has withstood the toxin and the stomach and liver are in good
function. 9urther, climatic variations must be avoided. $ith the great mineral
metabolism of the phthisic, diet regulation is imperative, and should be
preponderately vegetable, together with the addition of physiological salts in low
potency, Calcarea carb, Dx, Jx, Calcarea phos, )x, Hx, and intercurrently according
/.3
to indications organ-remedies as Cactus /r. DI, Chelidonium /r. DI, /araxacum
/r, Casturtium /r, *rtica urens /r, /ussilago farfara /r, <ysimachia numularia

/he first dose of /uberculinum in any difficult case is, however, the most
weighty prescription. /he remedy should not be given without a most careful
cardiac examination. !s the surgeon before the anEsthetic, so must the physician
know the heart before administering this drug, especially to children, and
seniles-and to young seniles. 0e who observes this rule will have fewer clinical
reproaches on his conscience. $hen /uberculinum is contraindicated, recourse
must be had to the nearest antipsoric.
