This powerful plant produces a number of symptoms in the healthy human organism analogous to the diseases to

which the human system is liable. It may be numbered among the polychrests.

It may be employed both in acute and chronic diseases, in- asmuch as its action lasts from ten to twelve days.

My remarks on the peculiarity of its symptoms will be found annexed to the respective symptoms.

The following symptoms have been obtained from mode- rately large doses, and may therefore be considered primary symptoms.

This medicine acts best when not only its physical symp- toms are homoeopathic to the disease, but when the action which Pulsatilla is capable of exercising upon the mind and temperament, is analogous to the patient's temperament, or the state of his mind.

The disposition which corresponds best to the nature of Pulsatilla, is a timid disposition, with disposition to weep, and to experience silent grief and chagrin, a mild and yielding dis- position, especially when the patient had been good-humored and bland in his good days, or disposed to levity and kindly- meant malice. Slow and phlegmatic temperaments correspond to Pulsatilla, but least of all men of quick decision and movements, although they may appear ever so good-natured.

Absence of thirst and occasional chilliness are additional indications.

In females it is especially suitable when the menses delay a few days ; also when the patient lies in his bed a long time in the evening before he drops to sleep ; and when the patient is worse in the evening. It is useful against the bad effects of eating pork.

Chamomilla antidotes the sleeplessness, debility and dimi- nution of sense produced by Pulsatilla ; Coffea the timid anx- iety. Ignatia and Nux are likewise antidotes. Coffea cruda is the best antidote to the fever, the weeping mood and the pains of Pulsatilla.

In robust chronic patients, it is seldom necessary to admin- ister a whole drop ; in acute maladies, and when the patients are very nervous and irritable, the smallest part of a drop of the sixteenth potency is sufficient.

' 566, 551, 552. These and the preceding symptoms of dry cough are alternate symptoms of those with expectoration (556-562) ; how- ever the latter seem to have the precedence, so that diseases to which Pul- satilla is homoeopathic, are more easily cured when accompanied with much expectoration, than when accompanied with dry cou^h. In 555, the alternate symptom with much expectoration, came after the dry cough, which occurs but rarely.

^ Compare 531.

In the catarrhal condition which is expressed in this symptom in a popular manner, the internal tracheal glands seem to be swollen and inflamed, and unable to secrete the necessary quan- tity of mucus.

Hence the feeling of dryness, roughness, painfulness, and the deceptive sensation as if an excessively tenacious mucus ob- structed the trachea, and would not come off.

3 Compare 547. The symptoms which Pulsat. excites in the recum- bent posture, when sitting, when rising from a seat, when standing or walking, form as many primary alternate symptoms of different value. The symptoms excited in the recumbent posture, are generally calmed by sitting up, the reverse occurs seldom ; the symptoms excited in the sitting posture, are frequently relieved or removed by motion, the re- verse occurring but seldom. The act of rising causes so many more and so much more vehement symptoms the longer one had been seated ; the symptoms which are felt after sitting down, are likewise so much more vehement the longer and more violent had been the previous ex- ercise.

Those alternate effects which occur most frequently and which are most characteristic, have likewise the greatest curative etfecte, when homoeopathic to the disease.
