when it is used in an improper manner, or exhibited in dispro- portionate doses. On the other hand, the most powerful and most energetic remedial agents become mild and eminently curative, even in highly susceptible systems, when they are exhibited in small doses, and in diseases to which those agents correspond in symptoms. Belladonna being a powerful agent, the greatest care should be taken to employ it with strict regard to its homoeopathic character. The common routinier, whose sole art consists in applying to a given case of disease, one of those prescriptions which he had learned by rote, is, of course, unaware of the paramount importance of selecting every remedy, especially remedies of great power, with the most careful regard for their adaptation to disease.

The experience which I have had occasion to gather at the bedside of the patients for the last eight or ten years, has in- duced me to use the decillionth degree of potency for homoeo- pathic treatment. The smallest portion of a drop 1 of that potency, is sufficient to exhibit that degree of curative action which the case requires.

To obtain the hundredth degree of potency, mix two drops of alcohol with equal parts of the juice of the plant — this method ought to be pursued with all other medicinal juices, — and then mix this with ninety-nine or one hundred drops of alcohol, by means of two strokes with the arm from above downwards ; by mixing, in the same way, one drop of this dilution with one hundred drops of alcohol, you obtain the ten thousandth degree of potency, and by mix- ing a drop of this last dilution with another one hundred drops of alcohol, you obtain the millionth degree. This process of spiritualization or dynamization, is continued through a series of thirty vials up to the thirtieth solution. This thirtieth degree should always be used for homoeopathic purposes.

If Belladonna be homceopathically indicated, one globule of the thirtieth dilution is sufficient to exhibit with great promptness the curative action of Belladonna, even in the most acute diseases. On the other hand, the action of one globule may, in chronic cases, continue for upwards of three weeks. 2

1 Note : I exhibit one globule of the size of a grain of flax-seed, three hundred of which weigh a grain. One drop being sufficient to moisten upwards of a thousand of such globules, one globule contains less than the one thousandth part of a drop of the decillionth solution.

2 Note: One globule of Belladonna, first exhibited every three or four days, and afterwards at longer intervals, is the surest prophylactic against hydrophobia.

Almost all authors have recommended vinegar as an anti- dote against BallaJonna. This is a mere conjecture which one author has copied from the other. Abundant experience has taught me, on the contrary, that vinegar increases the pain produced by Belladonna. 1

Fits of paralysis and colic, produced by Belladonna, may be assuaged by Opium, although it acts only as a palliative. A small dose of Opium, probably, also relieves the somnolence consequent upon the use of Belladonna.

Stupor, insanity, and frenzy, produced by Belladonna, are homoeopathically relieved in the speediest and most certain manner by a few small doses of Hyosciamus. The intoxica- tion of Belladonna is relieved by wine ; myself, as well as Trajus and Moibanus, have witnessed this effect of wine.

A small dose of Belladonna having been administered non- homaeopathically, and being succeeded by a weeping mood, attended with chills and headache, these effects may be stayed by a similarly small dose of Pulsatilla.

Adequate help is the most necessary, when a large quan- tity of the berries of Belladonna has been swallowed. In this case, relief may be obtained by large portions of strong coffee, which restores the irritability of the muscular fibre, puts a stop to the tetanic convulsions — although acting as a mere palliative — -and secures the vomiting of the berries ; this may, moreover, be facilitated by tickling the pharynx with a long feather.

The erysipelatous swellings of Belladonna are speedily removed by small doses of Hepar sulphuris. Camphor, too, is a good antidote against some of the symptoms of Belladonna.

Belladonna may be used as a prophylactic against the genuine, erysipelatous, smooth and glossy scarlet fever, as described by Sydenham, Plencitz, and others. To this effect the smallest dose of Belladonna ought to be given every six or seven days. This great discovery of mine has been scorned and sneered at by a number of physicians, for at least nineteen years. They were ignorant of the character of this disease which is proper to childhood, and they were indiscreet enough to mistake for scarlet fever the purple-rash, which had migra- ted into Germany from Belgium, ever since the year 1801.

They falsely applied to this purple-rash the term "scarlet fever," and failed, of course, in trying to cure it by means of

Note : Stapf has also observed that applications of vinegar to the forehead increase the headache caused by Belladonna, so as to make it insupportable ; the applications had to be discontinued.

the remedy which I had proposed.' I rejoice that, in subse- quent years, other physicians should have again observed the genuine scarlet fever, that they should have confirmed the prophylactic virtues of Belladonna against this disease, and should have done me justice, after the unjust derision which I had so long suffered.

Purple-rash (Roodvonk) being a disease different from scarlet fever, it requires to be treated in a different way. In purple-rash Belladonna can do no good, and patients who are treated with Belladonna in this disease, will generally have to die ; whereas all of them might have been saved by the alter- nate use of Aconite and the tincture of Coffea cruda, the for- mer being given against the heat, the increasing uneasiness, and the agonizing anguish ; the latter against the excessive pain and weeping mood.

Aconite and Coffea should be alter- nately given every twelve, sixteen, or twenty-four hours, in proportion as one or the other medicine is indicated! Of the Aconite I give a small portion of a drop of the decillionth solu- tion ; of the Coffea I exhibit the millionth degree of potency in the same form and quantity. Recently, both diseases, which are so different from each other, the Sydenhamian scarlet fever, and the purple-rash, seem to have become complicated in some epidemic diseases, so that one patient derives more benefit from Aconite, another from Belladonna.

NOACK AND TRINKS ON BELLADONNA.

Belladonna produces phenomena similar to those of Aco- nite, not directly, however, but by exciting the central points of the nervous system into a more expansive activity, which, by a process of reaction, prodves phenomena of inflamma- tion in the peripheral tissues. Belladonna is especially suit- able to plethoric, scrofulous, irritable individuals, persons that are disposed to affections of the head and brain, congestion, spasms, — in whom the nervous system is highly susceptible of impressions, and the circulatory system is easily excited ; to the sangume-choleric temperament, to the organism of the child and the female, and such constitutions as are anal- ogous to those organisms. Belladonna is therefore especially suitable for diseases of women and children, and all those dis- eases in ivhich the whole nervous system is in a state of

erethism. What Aconite is to inflammatory fevers or the feverish reaction excited in the arterial system ; that, Bella- donna is to the inflammation itself, or the inflammatory action of the capillaries. If, after the inflammatory action shall have been subdued by Aconite, the other symptoms (the nervous stage of the inflammation) continue, and sensation and irrita- bility be alternately affected, Belladonna is then of great use, if otherwise indicated Phlegmonous and erysipelatous in- flammations ; the more delicate the inflamed organ or tissue, as an organ of sensation, the more suitable is Belladonna ; inflammations of the lymphatic vessels and glands (in alterna- tion with mercury.)
