It was introduced into homopathic practice by Lux the veterinarian long before the experiments of Pasteur.

The keynote for its employment is "succession of boils" or carbuncles, but it is also of the greatest use in other cases.

A preparation of chicken-tuberculosis introduced by Dr. Cartier and other homopaths of Paris.

Measles.

Phthisis.

Characteristics (Aviaire)

Dr. Cartier gave an account of this nosode in his paper read at the International Homopathic Congress, 1896 (Transactions, Part "Essays and Communications," p. 187).

Aviaire acts most prominently on the apices of the lungs, and it corresponds most closely to the bronchitis of influenza, which simulates tuberculosis, having cured several hopeless-looking cases.

It has also done excellently in some cases of bronchitis following measles.

The bacillus of avian tuberculosis has been identified with that of human tuberculosis, but the clinical properties of the two nosodes are not identical.

Relations (Aviaire)

Compare : Bacil. , Bacil. t. , Tuberc. , Ars. i.

Bacillinum.

A nosode of tuberculosis named and first described by Dr. Burnett, for whom it was prepared from tuberculous sputum by Dr. Heath.

As this preparation has been experimented with separately, I think it, on the whole, advisable to give its symptoms apart from the other nosodes of phthisis.

Clinical (Bacillinum)

Addison's disease.

Alopecia.

Consumptiveness Growth, defective.

Hydrocephalus.

Idiocy.

Insanity.

Joints, affections of.

Phthiriasis.

Pityriasis.

Ringworm.

Scrofulous glands.

Teeth, defective ; pitted.

Tuberculosis.

Characteristics (Bacillinum)

This remedy has been used largely in infrequent doses (at intervals of a week or more) of the 30th and upwards chiefly on diathetic indications in the affections named above.

In acute affections it has been found useful to dissolve a few globules in a wineglassful of water and administer a teaspoonful every four hours. In the provings, a severe headache, deep in, < by motion, was a constant symptom ; also a slight cough with easy expectoration of phlegm.

In cases of acute tuberculosis it has not done so well as in mote chronic cases. Dr. Cartier has found it particularly useful in cases where there was excessive muco-purulent bronchial secretion threatening to occlude the lungs.

It must be compared with Bacillinum testium, Tuberculinum of Swan, Aviaire and Tuberculinum of Koch. Dr. Burnett has shown that ringworm of the scalp and pityriasis versicolor on the body are indications of tubercular diathesis, and they respond to this remedy. Also they are leading indications for it when present in combination with other affections.

A case of insanity with pityriasis yielded rapidly to the remedy. Phthiriasis has been cured by it when all attempts to kill the body-lice by parasiticides were useless. Dr. Young has recorded the cure of several cretinous idiots.

An intercurrent course of Bacillinum will often make a wonderful change in patients who have a personal or family history of chest affections. I have found an eczematous condition of the margins of the eyelids a strong indication for it.

< Night and early morning ;

< cold air.

It is a diathetic remedy of vast importance.

The symptoms of the schema are taken from the provings by Burnett and myself recorded in the last edition of Burnett's The Cure of Consumption by its own Virus, together with some cured symptoms, and some from a proving by R. Boocock.

Clinical (Bacillinum testium)

Inguinal glands, disease of.

Mesenteric glands, disease of.

Phthisis.

Testicles, tubercle of.

Characteristics (Bacillinum testium)

This preparation has been used by Burnett as having a more direct relation to the lower half of the body than the pulmonary Bacillinum.

My own experience confirms the correctness of this inference ; but it must not be supposed that Bacillinum Testium does not act in pulmonary cases, or vice versa.

Diphtherinum.

A nosode.

Dilutions of diphtheria toxin.

Clinical

Croup.

Diphtheria.

Diphtheritic paralysis.

Myelitis.

Characteristics (Diphtherinum)

The well-known features of the disease of which this nosode is a product must be the guide to its use.

It should be more efficacious in the potencies against diphtheria, both as prophylactic and cure, than the serum injections.

In all probability it will be found useful in the paralysis of diphtheria and other like kinds of spinal affection.

It needs clinical development and a proving in the potencies.

Ulcers.

Whooping-cough.

Characteristics (Hippozninum)

Of recent years Mallein, a toxin prepared from glanders, has taken an important place in veterinary practice of the old school as a test injection for deciding whether a horse suspected of glanders actually has the disease or not.

If the horse reacts it is concluded there is glanders. In a number of cases in which animals have reacted to the first injections, a repetition of the "test" has failed to elicit reaction, thus proving that Mallein is curative as well as diagnostic (H. W. , XXXV. 149).

The nosode has been used by homopaths, at the suggestion of Garth Wilkinson, on the phenomena of the disease as guides, and in a large number of cases involving low forms of suppuration and catarrh, malignant ulcerations and swellings, abscesses and enlarged glands ; and also in conditions similar in kind, but less in severity.

I have used it with excellent effect in cases of inveterate nasal catarrh and of glandular enlargement. The nasal affection may go on to ozna, ulceration of nasal cartilages and bones.

Glanders in the horse affects the lungs no less than the upper respiratory tract, causing coughs and disseminated ulcerations and deposits throughout the lungs.

It has cured papules and ulcerations in frontal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, and tracha ; hoarseness ; old cases of bronchitis, especially in old persons where suffocation from excessive secretion seemed imminent.

Bronchial asthma. Whooping-cough. A cough commencing at Christmas and lasting till June has been cured by it.

Characteristics (Hydrophobinum)

Hering was the first (1833) to prove, and to suggest the employment of this nosode in medicine ; and of late years it has become notorious through the experiments of Pasteur. Pasteur's method of administration is very different from that employed by homopaths, but he is working on homopathic lines in seeking to neutralise a virus in the system by introducing a modification of the same virus.

His experiments led him to produce the rabic poison in a highly intensified form in the spinal cords of rabbits. He then modified its intensity in different degrees by exposure to air for a longer or shorter period. Patients who come to the Institute are inoculated first with the least potent, and later with the most potent "vaccin," after which they are pronounced "cured. "

The "cure" is, however, extremely uncertain, as the degree of susceptibility to the poison is unknown in any case, and many hundreds of the patients subjected to the inoculations have died of the disease. Pasteur's first method was admitted to be too strong, and was soon modified ; a number of patients having died from the inoculations. One of these cases I investigated, and the symptoms were sufficiently striking to deserve recording.

The patient was Arthur Wilde, of Rotherham, aged 29, and I received the account from his mother, who nursed him through his illness. He had been bitten severely by a man suffering from hydrophobia, and was persuaded, much against his wish, to go to Pasteur. This he did a few days after the bite, returning on October 19, 1886, after undergoing the course.

On Saturday, October 30, he complained of a pricking sensation below the ribs in the right side, in the part where the injections had been made. Pressure relieved the pain somewhat. That evening he vomited, and the vomiting continued, and he became very prostrate.

On Monday the prostration was intense, vomiting continued ; restless ; skin cool, perspiring ; quite conscious. The spots where the inoculations were made were dark and livid. Twitching occurred every few hours, sometimes more violently than others ; most marked on the abdomen.

From Monday through Tuesday he was making a peculiar loud noise, something like a waggoner driving horses, "bis" "whoo," though he had never had to do with horses. He seemed completely helpless. On Tuesday night vomiting ceased and he began to froth a great deal. Early on Wednesday morning he began to talk thick. His breathing, which had been peculiar all through he would hold his breath for a long time when making the noise and then breathe rapidly for a few breaths became very bad at 3 a. m. on Wednesday. He died shortly after 12, having been apparently conscious to the end though unable to speak for the last hour.

The frothing had increased up to the time of his death and he seemed to choke with it. This case was paralleled by that of Goffi, an attendant at St. Thomas' Hospital, who was bitten by a cat and sent to Pasteur. On his return he was taken ill, and his case was at first diagnosed as Landry's paralysis, but finally proved (by experiments made with his spinal cord) to be "paralytic rabies," the result of inoculation. It was after the occurrence of these and similar "accidents" that the intensity of the "vaccins" was reduced.

It would be well to have as an alternative preparation, Hydrophobinum Pasteurianum, obtained from Pasteur's vaccin, to meet conditions similar to these. The pathogenesis of Hydrob. is made up partly of symptoms observed in rabid animals and human patients, but chiefly of symptoms developed in the provings. The remedy has been pretty extensively used in practice, not only in cases of hydrophobia, but in many disorders in which the keynote symptoms have been present.

These are : Exquisite sensitiveness to breath of air ; to bright objects, especially the surface of water ; to sounds, and most of all to the sound of running water. Even the thought of it is enough to bring on an aggravation or a convulsion. Cases of dysentery with pain and tenesmus on hearing water running from a tap have been cured with Hydrob. Cannot bear heat of sun. Thirst, with inability to swallow. Copious viscid saliva. A great variety of mental disturbances occur. Rapid speech and impatience are very noticeable. The mental irritability is as great as that of the senses and dangerously violent temper is developed. The irritation is further shown in the sexual organs. Suffocating feelings were experienced by several persons. Sighing, and sighing respiration.

The effects of bites of non-rabid dogs have been removed by this nosode. Hydrob. is a close analogue of many of the animal poisons, especially Laches. , and I have no doubt when clinically developed it will prove to be equally important. Marked symptoms appear in every part of the body and mind.

Many symptoms are < by stooping ; by motion generally.

Sensitive to any changed position.

Characteristics (Malandrinum)

According to Jenner, the origin of cow-pox is infection of the udders of cows by contact with grass on which a horse infected with "Grease" has trodden.

This assertion is to some extent confirmed by the experience of homopaths, who have found in Maland. a very effectual protection against infection with small-pox and against vaccination. Straube made provings of the 30th potency (H. R. , xv. 145 ; H. W. , XXXV. 504).

It has been used on inferential grounds with great success in ill effects of vaccination (I have cured with it cases of unhealthy, dry, rough skin remaining for years after vaccination) ; in small-pox, measles, and impetigo. Burnett has cured with it a case of knock-knee in a child who was constantly handling his penis.

Burnett's indications are : "Lower half of body ; greasy skin and greasy eruption. Slow pustulation, never ending, as one heals another appears. " Impetigo, ecthyma, fat, greasy-looking pustular eruptions are particularly acted on by this remedy.

Heath (Amer. Hom. , XXIV. 141) has cured with Maland. 30 fistula in a pony's neck, following strangles.

A. L. Marcey (H. R. , XIV. 530) relates a striking experience with Maland. 30. In the presence of a small-pox epidemic he vaccinated himself, taking at the same time Maland. 30 night and morning.

The vaccination did not take. It was twice repeated and still did not take ; nor was smallpox contracted. Called to vaccinate four children in a family whose parents were recovering from small-pox, he vaccinated all and gave Maland. 30 to three of them at the same time ; the remaining child was the only one whose vaccination "took. " This was so severe that Maland. had to be given to modify its intensity, which it did effectually.

The other three were re-vaccinated but none "took. " Of five children, from six to seventeen years of age, only the eldest had been vaccinated, and he had a good scar. All except the eldest were given Maland. and were vaccinated, and none of the four "took. "

The eldest took small-pox. Maland. was then given, and in a few days he was convalescent. In another case of small-pox Maland. was given, and the disease only lasted a few days, the eruption drying up. In Straube's proving the symptoms were < in evening.

The Schema is made up of Straube's symptoms. Burnett considers Maland. a very deeply acting remedy, and one not to be repeated oftener than once a fortnight.

Characteristics (Medorrhinum)

Medorrh. is one of the most important of the nosodes. The constitutional nature of the gonorrha poison has within recent years been recognised in the old school as well as the new.

Noegerath of New York and Angus Macdonald in this country have pointed out a causal connection between post-partum pelvic cellulitis and latent gonorrha in the husband.

Macdonald published several fatal cases. The effects of the poison, constitutional or acute, may be taken as data for homopathic prescriptions ; but the virus has had an extensive proving in the potencies, and the symptoms there recorded have been largely verified in practice.

The nosodes may be used according to their indications in exactly the same way as other homopathic remedies, and not merely for manifestations of the disease from which they are derived. At the same time, a knowledge of the origin of obscure disorders, especially if hereditary, will often give the clue to the remedy required.

Deschere published a case in point : Miss X. , 23, had chronic blepharitis since eleven. Her suffering was intense. Light, especially gas-light, was intolerable, and this prevented her from going into society. She could not read in the evening, and in the morning the lids would be closed, and she suffered much on getting them separated. There was much discharge. Before coming under Deschere she had been under strict homopathic treatment all the time.

Deschere remembered treating her father for gonorrha before his marriage, and he suspected the taint had reappeared in this form. Medorrhinum was given in high potency, single doses repeated as the effect of each wore off, and she was entirely cured. A case of favus which had resisted all the external applications that allopaths could devise, and which had such an appalling odour that the patient, a little boy, had to be isolated from the family, was traced by Skinner to the same hereditary cause and cured with Medorrhinum 1m.

Many cases of stunted growth and arrested development in children are due to latent gonorrha and syphilis, and unless this factor is discerned and taken into consideration in prescribing, no great good will be achieved. I have cured on this hypothesis extremely offensive body odours in children with Medorrhinum.

One important point in distinguishing between the sycotic or gonorrhal taint and that of syphilis is in the time aggravation, and consequently in the indications for this. Syph. has < from sunset to sunrise, as also have all the great anti-syphilitic remedies. Medorrhinum has < from sunrise to sunset ; always brighter in evening, < in early morning hours. With Medorrhinum there is intense nervous sensibility, especially to touch of garment or a lock of hair by any one not en rapport. Sensibility is exalted almost to clairvoyance. As if in a dream. Starting at slightest sound. Tremor ; spasms. There is a state of collapse and a desire to be fanned.

Among the Peculiar Sensations are :

As of sticks in eyes, lids, and inner, canthi ; as if cold wind blowing in eyes ; as if upper lid had a cartilage in it. As if something crawling in ear and nose. Lump in stomach. Tumour right side of abdomen. As if left lung collapsed or paralysed. As if an abscess between left pectoralis major and minor muscles. As if blood was boiling hot in veins. As if all bones were out of joint. The pains seem to tighten the whole body, especially the thighs. There is scarcely a spot on the body that is not full of pain. Obstinate rheumatism. Sequel of acute rheumatism. D. C. McLaren relates in Hahn. Advoc. (quoted Amer. Hom. , xxii. 408) a case which illustrates the power and sphere of this nosode. A young French Canadian of delicate constitution, after working in a factory all winter, began coughing in spring and running down in health. He returned home and came under McLaren's care in May.

The cough persisted and prostration increased, in spite of carefully selected remedies, and the patient took to his bed. It was then observed by McLaren that the cough and general condition was > from lying on the face. This, coupled with a knowledge of there being a syphilitic taint in the boy's parentage, suggested Medorrh. , which was given. The next day a profuse gonorrhal discharge appeared, and the cough and all threatening symptoms promptly disappeared. Exposure to contagion had occurred several weeks before, but from lack of vitality the disease could not find its usual expression and was endangering the patient's life.

Ernest Nyssens ("La Sycose de Hahnemann," Jour. Belge d' Hom. , VI. 244) quotes some important observations by old-school authorities on constitutional gonorrha. Wertheim in a case of gonorrhal cystitis watched the entrance of the gonococcus into the blood stream.

With the gonococcus taken from the blood of this patient he made cultures to the fifth generation. A youth who had never had venereal disease volunteered for inoculation with this. The subacute urethritis which resulted was so grave, and, in spite of all, became complicated so cruelly with cystitis, epididymitis, prostatitis, synovitis, and pleuro-pneumonia, that Wertheim asked whether the gonococcus did not redouble its virulence by passing into the blood. Louis Jullien and Louis Sibut (from whose paper Nyssens quotes the above) witnessed the following case in Saint Lazare hospital :

Louisa M. , 17, entered the hospital June 8th with urethro-vaginitis, and was treated with tampons (tiges) of Ichthyol dissolved in glycerine (1 to 5). The urethritis ran a normal course till July 6th, when this condition was reported : The patient has had sufferings in the abdomen for a week, but has made no complaint. However, they became so acute the previous night that an injection of Morphia was given. Rectal temperature 100. 2. Tongue saburral. Right side abdominal pain. In spite of rigid contraction of the recti muscles there seemed to be a swelling deep down, but the observers were not certain it was not a swelling of the muscles themselves. Intestinal functions normal ; rectum empty. An eruption of roseolous spots appeared on the body, abdomen, and chest, so exactly like those of typhoid that the possibility of this was discussed.

There was also acute pain in muscle of right calf. This pain persisted the following day when the abdominal pains had disappeared. July 9. Right knee painful, swollen. At same time synovitis of left wrist, dorsal aspect, the tendons attacked being the extensor proprius of thumb and index. Temperature normal. July 10. Very few and slight traces of the eruption. Right arm the seat of acute lancinating pain, especially at the level of the deltoid "V," deep down near the bone at the insertion of the tendon (probably a hygroma). On examining the tendo Achillis, pain at the level of the left ankle, nothing to the right at the same level, but the pain is above all acute along the inner border of the right tibia, to five or six centimeters from the flat surface.

This part is dematous and painfully sensitive. Another painful spot in the abdomen is behind the right anterior superior iliac spine, and beside the navel (probably muscular). The urethral discharge contained abundant bacilli besides gonococci. Treatment by daily injection of one centigramme of Merc. cor. was commenced. The next day there was sharp fever, saburral tongue.

The abdominal pains were frankly muscular. Trace of albumen in the urine. Next night there was delirium, and epistaxis in the morning. This case went on to recovery. Another case, also in a girl of seventeen, of phthisical history, and even complicated with syphilis, presented the same order of symptoms, along with epistaxis, hmoptysis, albuminuria, endocarditis with suffocative attacks and violent palpitations, ending in permanent disablement. These cases may be regarded as provings of Medorrhinum from the homopathic stand-point.

The rheumatic symptoms are of extreme intensity, and Medorrhinum will cure many cases where the symptoms correspond. I have cured many cases of dysmenia with it, following Burnett. Burnett cured with Medorrhinum 1m : (1) A patient who had fits at every menstrual period, the fits coming on in the early morning. (2) A man who had clonic spasms, the legs suddenly shot up from the bed. (3) A case of right wrist rheumatism. (4) Polypi having their origin in a chronic suppurating discharge. (He regards Medorrhinum as "the mother of pus and catarrhs"). (5) Masturbation in children. (6) Albuminuria when the urine contains some mucus as well. (7) Sycotic asthma, < 2 to 4 a. m. (8) Psoriasis palmaris. Gilbert (Trans. Amer. Inst. , 1895, quoted H. R. , XI. 71) traces rickets to hereditary gonorrha ; there are often in these cases glandular enlargements, and the patient is > at seaside. In such cases he gives Medorrhinum (When there is syphilitic paresis and the patient is > in the mountains, he gives Syph. ). In acute bowel troubles in rickety children he finds Medorrhinum of great value.

Thomas Wildes (H. P. , XII. 70) considers that favus and scald-head and ophthalmia tarsi simplex (margins scaly, scurfy, often angry red, falling of lashes) are due to suppressed gonorrha in one or both parents. The red, angry condition of skin may extend from face or scalp, down neck and back to perineum and genitals. (1) Girl, 11, had been treated by many physicians with salves and ointments to the general impairment of her health. Face mottled with a profusion of red scurfy sores, eyelids involved and nearly denuded of lashes ; hairy scalp one diffuse mass of thick yellow scabs, from beneath which oozed a highly offensive mixture of ichor and sebum. Passing down neck, back, perineum and involving genitals and pubes was a fiery red band as broad as the child's hand, oozing a pale yellow serum which caused the clothing to stick to the body. Wildes told the mother he could cure the case, but it would certainly get worse the first three months.

This was not objected to. Medorrhinum c. m. (Swan) was given, one dose on the tongue. The external appearance grew rapidly worse, but appetite, sleep, and general health steadily improved, and in nine months she was completely well. (2) Child, 6, since infancy horribly disfigured with tinea capitis. Scalp a mass of dense scabs exuding fetid ichor, the only semblance of hair being a few distorted stumps ending in withered roots. One dose cured in a few months, and at the time of Wildes' writing patient was a healthy and extremely talented young lady and the possessor of a luxuriant head of chestnut hair.

Wildes thinks that suppression of favus when derived from gonorrha in the father leads to hydrocephalus, capillary bronchitis, severe teething diarrhas, cholera infantum, &c. ; if derived from the grandfather, suppression leads to consumption and lingering diseases. Fiery red rash developing about the anus in babies a few days old ; constipation with hard, dry stools ; when the nurses say "baby's water scalds it terribly," the indications for Medorrhinum are clear.

Wildes regards the latent gonorrhal taint as the true explanation of many of the disease-manifestations included by Hahnemann under Psora. Burnett in a way confirms this, as he traces gout to a sycotic origin. Wildes regards Medorrhinum too dangerous a remedy to give in acute cases whether of gonorrha, rheumatism, or scarlatina, on account of the intensity of the aggravation it is liable to cause ; though single doses are often useful when there is a tendency to sinking in dangerous cases of cholera infantum.

Among other diseases Wildes traces to the same source are : Vascular meningitis in infants and cerebro-spinal meningitis. In the former the efficacy of Medorrhinum is doubtful, but in the latter it is very efficacious after Act. r. has allayed the first acute symptoms. In the convalescent stage Lyc. has been his chief remedy. He quotes from old-school authorities the following conditions traceable to latent gonorrha communicated from husband to wife : Ovarian tumours, oophoritis, salpingitis, metritis, parametritis, endometritis, and even peritonitis,

Medorrhinum is the remedy in single doses, but it is rarely if ever to be given in the acute stages of a disease. In general motion . Lying on face or stomach > cough. Stretching out sore throat and cold in head. Damp weather > pain in limbs. Craving for ice. Chronic rheumatism of joints is < inland, > near sea. The early morning < (especially 3 to 4 a. m. ) is a leading characteristic of Medorrhinum and all sycotics.
