Some Tips from Dr. E.A. Farrington

Petroleum – Double

Petroleum imagines that she is double, or that somebody is lying beside her. A lady in childbed imagined that she had had two babies, and she was very  much concerned as to  how she could take care of them both.  Petroleum cured her.

Sulphur –Weakness of Spine

General  weakness of the  spine, not classed  under any particular name, has  been sometimes cured by Sulphur.  The patient has the characteristic stooped appearance of Sulphur. The chest feels empty and weak, it tires  him to  talk and  there is weakness in the epigastrium during the forenoon.

Sulphur  – Caution

In tuberculosis affecting the lungs, Sulphur is indicated only in the beginning.  I would caution you as to how you use the drug. If carelessly or wrongly given, it may precipitate the disease which it was your desire to cure. You must not repeat your doses  too frequently, and you must never give it unless you are certain that it  is the remedy

Rhododendron

Rhododendron is one of the best remedies for what has been termed rheumatic gout.  It is especially indicated in a rheumatic hard swelling of the big-toe joint, often mistaken for bunion.

Sulphur  vs  Podophyllum in Diarrhea

A remedy that is confused with Sulphur is Podophyllum. It has early morning diarrhoea, hurrying the patient out of bed. Like Sulphur, the stools are of  a changeable color.   It differs from Sulphur in that the diarrhoea continues through  the whole day, although worse at noon.

Some Tips from Dr. C. M. F. Von Boenninghausen

Posology

The more chronic the affection, the longer must be the interval between the administration of the drugs.

Too many remedies

Where the character of an affection has been disguised by successive administration of a large number of homoeopathic remedies, which, without curing, have only altered the symptoms, a single dose of Psorinum a few days  before giving the medicine is indicated.

Asthma

Evening attacks, Pulsatilla.  Morning attacks, Puls or Ars.

If the symptoms are principally in the throat: Spongia.  If principally in the chest: Phosphorus.  Spasmodic Asthma:  Ipecac.

Sour Wine

Ant. crud. is the best antidote to the effects of sour wine.

Erysipelas

Camphor, administered every fifteen minutes, will cure even a severe erysipelas in the course of a few hours.

Fistula lachrymalis

Fistula lachrymalis :  A cure may sometimes be obtained by the aid of Petrol, and Silica. in alternation.

Two Tips from Constantine Hering

Epidemic Catarrh

Mercurius is a principal remedy in epidemic catarrh, (influenza or grippe,) when many persons are affected with it at one time, especially if there is constant sneezing; soreness of the nose with constant watery discharge, offensive smell and profuse perspiration at night. The patient does not like to be alone, and has much thirst.

Inflammation of Breasts

Inflammation and suppuration of the breasts are liable to occur during the whole period of nursing.  Bryonia is the principal remedy in the commencement, especially when the breasts become swollen, hard and feel heavy, with shooting pains, dry skin, thirst, and other febrile symptoms.  Belladonna, after or alternately with Bryonia, when there is much swelling and hardness of the breasts, shooting and tearing pains, and redness of the skin.
