Some Tips from Dr. E.A. Farrington In carbuncle, another form of connective tissue inflammation, Rhus is indicated in the beginning, when the pains are intense and the affected parts are dark red.  If given early, Rhus may abort the whole trouble.   If not, you may have to resort later to Arsenicum, Carbo veg., or even Anthracinum. Bromine is useful in ulcers which have a carrion-like odor, with threatening gangrene.  The surrounding skin has a greenish-yellow hue. You must also remember Staphisagria as a remedy in colic following operations about the abdomen. Sabadilla is useful in influenza.   There is violent spasmodic sneezing and lachrymation on going into the open air. Guaiacum is useful in chronic forms of rheumatism when the joints have become distorted by the concretions. In disorders of digestion Ignatia is useful when the patient complains of the presence of a bitter or sour-tasting mucus in the mouth and copious salivation. Lachesis is useful for weakness of digestion in patients who, from some vicious habits, from abuse of Mercury, or of Quinine, or of alcohol, have their stomachs  so exhausted that even the plainest food causes indigestion.  Acids especially  disagree. Psorinum, like Cinchona, is useful in some cases of night-sweats.  It is indicated when profuse sweats occur after acute illnesses.  The patient is very despondent, hopeless of recovery. Ranunculus bulbosus is useful in herpes zoster or zona.  Vesicles appear on the skin and are filled with serum, and burn. Sometimes these vesicles have a bluish-black appearance. In dropsy of the chest, Juglans cinerea is useful when there are red spots on the skin, looking very much like flea-bites In gout, Ledum is useful  when the pains are worse  from  the warmth of the bed; when  there is an oedematous condition of the feet;  when  Colchicum  has been abused, and the patient has become greatly  reduced in strength Aranea also attacks the bones.  It is especially indicated in disease of the os calcis, when the patient complains of violent, dull boring pain in that bone. This may be due to a simple periostitis, or it may be associated with caries.  Sometimes there is a sensation as if the bones felt like ice. Apis is useful in erysipelas, particularly of the face, when it commences under the right eye or about the eye, and spreads thence across the face to the left side, the parts quickly becoming oedematous, and at first assuming a pinkish rosy hue. Sulphur acts on the spine, producing several conditions there. It is useful in spinal  irritation.  On pressing between the vertebra,  you notice how  the  patient winces. Spongia is useful in organic affections of the heart.  The  patient cannot lie flat on the back with  the  head low without  bringing  on a spell of suffocation.  He is frequently aroused from sleep as if smothering. Platina is useful in cases of indurated and prolapsed uterus, associated with continual pressure in the groins and back. Parts are painfully sensitive to touch. Ptelea is useful in congestion of the liver when there is a feeling as of weight and pressure in the right hypochondrium. The liver is found to be enlarged. The patient finds relief by lying on the right side. Ammonium carb. is useful in dilatation of the heart.  The patient suffers when ascending a height, as when going up stairs or up a hill.  He also suffers intolerably in a warm room.

Dr Jayakumar M Pannakkal, BSc, BHMS,MD (Hom) Suspected growth in right lung This was a case of suspected malignancy of rt. lung. The 89 year old patient had chronic cough which was not relieved by a long course of allopathic treatment. He had undergone prostatectomy some 5 years before, due to Ca prostate. He was admitted to a hospital and had done CT Scan of lungs. The CT showed there was an irregular growth of 26x17mm in apical and posterior segment of rt upper lobe. They suggested biopsy. But his age was nearing 90, and due to this, his son didn’t agree to the procedure. I visited him in the hospital. He was apparently healthy but a patient of Alzheimer’s. The peculiar sound of his cough, rattling with hoarseness and roughness, and a somewhat empty sound like that of spongia, prompted me to give him Brominum.  I also gave him Carcino adenoma 200 4 doses. The cough ceased within days.  One month later, a CT was repeated, and there was no lesion. Dr Jayakumar M Pannakkal, BSc, BHMS,MD (Hom)
