(Add to the quickly dried and finely powdered bush of the Ledum palustre twenty parts of its weight of alcohol, to make the tincture.)

From the following symptoms it will be seen that this powerful remedy is especially suitable for chronic affections characterized by coldness and want of animal heat.

A small portion of a drop of the fifteenth potency is suffi- cient at a dose, as I know from long experience.

MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS.

To the ordinary, mechanical, material heads, believing in nothing but atoms — and they are innumerable — it not only seemed strange, but even childish and incredible that the small portions of a grain of which we avail ourselves in our practice for the cure of disease, should be sufficient to effect that cure.

I admit that it is more convenient to look upon disease generally as an accumulation of coarse impurities, and upon medicines as unpolished levers and sweeping machines, or at any rate as chemical re-agents, than to consider the disturb- ances which take place in the living organism as purely dy- namic affections of the vital powers, and the action of medi- cines as a dynamic curative power, and to treat disease in accordance with those views.

If disease is looked upon as a material thing, in that case the curative power of a drug has indeed to be measured by the weight and quantity of the dose ; but in such a case we ought in the first place to ascertain the weight of the disease, in order to determine how much weight of the drug shall be necessary to outweigh the disease.

The curative methods proposed by Reil, Ackermann, Reich, etc., and offered as so many systems, are no less mechanical and material. Must not the substances which are to be intro- duced into the sick body for the purpose of re-arranging the altered form of the atomic constituents of a body of one hun- dred and fifty pounds, have some weight ? What a quantity of oxygen, hydrogen, or azote, would be necessary to supply the want of any one of those agents in a mass of humor, weighing forty, fifty pounds !• Or is there another means to act chemically upon the diseased body except by introducing or abstracting a certain amount of material substance ?

I am perfectly willing to let my colleagues enjoy the plea- sure which their atomic views of disease afford them ; they must

MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS. 23

doubtless enable their authors to manage the business of curing in a sort of half slumber, and must certainly possess a certain amount of attractiveness, inasmuch as we poor sublunary- crawlers are naturally fond of that which is material, palpable, coarsely vulgar, and inasmuch, according to the saying of an Is- raelitic teacher, much thinking and observing tires out the body. I cannot reasonably expect that men, accustomed to the routine of materialism, should look upon disease as an immaterial dis- turbance, and upon medicinal powers as dynamic, or almost spiritual substances.

They would never give up thinking that this or that heavy illness requires this or that heavy dose of a drug, especially since it has been a custom for thousands of years to pour palpable quantities of the drug into the patient's throat out of large bottles and boxes, in order to be sure to ob- tain an effect in heavy diseases, but even this was often use- less, as is abundantly confirmed by the history of medicine of all ages. But how are they going to explain by means of their atomic views of the action and the curative powers of drugs, that the strongest man can be shaken by a single imponderable spark from the bottle of Leyden, without any perceptible and ponderable substance having been introduced into his body ?

How can they account with their atomic notions for the great mesmeric power which a healthy man, with a strong determi- nation of doing good, is capable of exercising over the weak nerves of a sick person by approaching the tip of the thumb to the prascordial region of the patient ? How can they account with their atomic notions about the action of drugs, for the fact that a well prepared magnetic bar, even when yet at some distance from the body, and covered with thick intermediate substances, such as cloth, glass, or a bladder, should be capa- ble of producing violent morbid symptoms, or that such a bar should be capable of curing speedily and permanently the mor- bid symptoms to which it is homoBopathic, even when covered with other substances, and held at some distance from the body?

Atomist, who thinkest thyself wise in thy darkness, say how many ponderable magnetic atoms penetrate into the body to produce those frequently excessive changes in the or- ganism 1 Is not the centillionth part of a grain (a fraction, the denominator whereof contains six hundred ciphers) much too heavy for the imponderable something, the kind of spirit which flowed into the living body out of the magnetic bar ? Dost thou yet feel disposed to be astonished at the centillionth, oc- tillionth, decillionth of a grain, when the invisible magnetic power is so much more refined ?

24 MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS.

The following symptoms have been obtained by persons of different susceptibilities touching magnets of different power.

Those symptoms which have no reference to either pole in particular have been obtained incidentally during the course of experiments of six months' duration, the object of which was to find out the best and most effective mode of magnet- izing steel ; a magnetic horse-shoe, carrying twelve pounds, being handled for hours in succession, and both hands being thus in constant contact with either pole.

Those symptoms which have been recorded from Andry and Thouret, from Unzer and de Harsu, originated in mag- netic surfaces of various sizes being applied to the skin, hence they have likewise no reference to either pole in particular.

Those symptoms which have reference to one pole in par- ticular, have been obtained by means of a powerful magnetic bar being touched by persons in good health for eight or twelve minutes, seldom more than once.

Although, as will be seen from the following symptoms, each of the two poles produces phenomena in a healthy person different from that of the other pole, nevertheless, the repeated contact of a pole seems to produce alternate effects analogous to those of the opposite pole.

For purposes of curing, a magnet of the following descrip- tion should be used. A bar of eighteen inches in length, carry- ing half a pound at either extremity, should be used, placing that of the two poles, the symptoms of which are homoeopathic to the disease, in direct contact, or very nearly so, with the affected part, or else the pole may be simply touched with the tip of the finger. I have had cases where a contact of half a minute's duration was sufficient.

Recently I have used a little bar of eight inches in length, and a quarter of an ounce in weight, carrying two ounces in weight at the north pole, the weight having been gradually increased to that extent by myself, and the bar having a soft and thin wire twisted all round, because by this means its magnetic power is preserved intact, no matter in what direction the magnet is placed ; I have found this bar sufficient in all cases.

It is not advisable to apply the same pole a second time directly after the first, no more than any other drug should be repeated directly after the first dose without great caution. A new remedy should either be given in accordance with the modified series of symptoms, or else the opposite pole should be used in case the wrong pole had been applied first.

What has been said of enanthiopathic or palliative drugs.

MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS. 25

applies likewise to the magnet ; they ought in all cases to be avoided whenever a homoeopathic drug exists. If the sypmtoms of a case correspond to the general symptoms of the magnet, without having reference to any pole in particular, in this case that pole is to be chosen which seems to be more closely homoeo- pathic to the case. If the symptoms should then disappear sud- denly, or if new symptoms should be elicited of half an hour, or even of a quarter of an hour's duration, this is a sure sign that the magnet has acted enanthiopathically ; this would soon be discovered from the speedy recurrence of the symptoms in an aggravated form.

This recurrence is not to be waited for, but the other homoeopathic pole is to be applied immediately, for as long a time as the palliative pole had been. This pole will in the first place remove the new symptoms, after which a slight aggravation will probably occur, which will be followed by the complete and permanent cure of the original affection.

A mild disposition and an inclination to chilliness indicate the north pole, if the symptoms to be cured are found among the general symptoms of the magnet.

The action of a moderate quantity of magnetic influence lasts about ten days.

The disagreeable effects of an anti-homoeopathic applica- tion of the magnet, which are sometimes very considerable, may be palliated by small electric sparks being from time to time communicated to the patient ; but they can be permanent- ly and effectively cured by the flat hand being imposed upon a large tin surface for half an hour.

Patients residing at a distance from their physicians, may make the magnetic bar themselves, according to the following method, which I have found to be the most suitable after long trials.

To make such bars the following materials are required : Bars of good German or English spring-steel, eight inches in length, two, or two and a half lines in breadth, and one line in thickness, and a somewhat powerful magnetic horse-shoe of ten or twelve pounds power.

The usual method of magnetizing a bar by moving the horse-shoe over it and causing the shoe to suddenly glide off the extremity of the bar, is exceedingly inadequate to the purpose, inasmuch as this sudden gliding off neutralizes a considerable portion of the power which had been communicated to the bar by the motion of the horse-shoe over it, a loss which cannot be repaired by carrying the shoe ever so many times over the bar again.

When the horse-shoe has reached the extremity of the bar,

26 MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS.

it ought to be made to glide over tin covering the extremity of the bar, and carried under the bar to the opposite pole, which it ought to cover as the other pole ; in this case the shoe may- be lifted without any detriment to the bar, and the tin band keeps up a conjunction of the magnetic emanation between both poles.

The bar should be laid upon the tin band, both ends of the band outreaching the bar somewhat ; these ends are then paired off and turned over the bar, being pressed close upon it.

The ends are designated N.

(north) and S.

(south), and the bar is left in the same horizontal position, the north end pointing to the north pole, until the process of magnetizing is accomplished.

The little bar is marked with chalk, ink, etc., in the following manner : one mark to be in the centre of the bar ; each of the two halves to be divided into three thirds, and a mark to be made at the termination of the first third from each extremity of the bar, thus :

s - , i i ! i K N -

The lower and coarser line represents the tin case.

The bar is turned towards the north pole. The process of magnetization is carried on in the following nanner : The south pole of the horse-shoe is lowered perpendicularly upon the centre of the bar a, and is then moved over the bar towards N. over the termination of the tin covering. Then you carry the shoe back to the point b in the south half of the bar, des- cribing a large arc through the air in carrying the shoe back, and lowering it upon that point b, perpendicularly ; the shoe being again moved toward N. and carried back in a similar manner to the point c, whence the shoe is moved again toward N. and then drawn off.

The bar is then taken out of the tin case, which is left un- moved, and that end of the bar which had been marked N. is now the north pole of the bar, and to be so marked. Then the bar is turned and replaced in the tin case in the opposite direc- tion, the north pole of the bar being placed in contact with the S. end of the tin case.

The moving of the hose-shoe is now resumed in the same manner as before, starting from the same points and moving in the same direction.

This having been accomplished the other pole of the bar is marked S.

(south pole).

This bar, being laid in a closely fitting groove in a stick of

MAGNES ARTIFICIALIS. 37

wood, may be sent to any distance, the north pole being marked N. on the outside of the stick.

The bar may be touched by the patient for a minute or a minute and a half; it needs not to be taken out of the groove.

(This condition was soon relieved by the hands being imposed upon the chest with a strong will (a sort of self-mesmerism) ; the spasm abated, and rest and sleep were restored by a strong but easily emitted flatulence.)

In the midst of falling asleep, a racking and spasmodic cough sets in, hindering sleep. — 160.

Suffoca- tive, spasmodic cough about midnight.

The desire to cough is seated in the finest and most remote bronchial ramifications, where nothing can be got loose by the cough ; the mucus which is thrown off, is secreted in a higher region, the titilla- tion remaining the same, inasmuch as it has its seat lower down ; hence the cough is very fatiguing and racking ; even the head is concussed, and the whole body becomes warm, after which a general exhalation sets in until morning, the cough abating in this case.

Unceasing (not titillating) irrita- tion, inducing cough, in the evening, when in bed, immediately after lying down, the cough being short and dry ; the irrita- tion is not momentarily diminished by the cough, as is the case in other kinds of cough ; this unceasing irritation can only be removed by suppressing the cough, even by a firm, determined will.
