Causticum

Tinetura acris sine Kali.

Causticum was first mentioned by Hahnemann in his Apothekerlexicon. His views are fully set forth in the first volume, published in the year 1793, under the word "Feuer," on p. 293, and in the la«t volume published in 1799, under " Spiesglanztinctur," p. 256. His mode of preparation is found in Chronic Diseases, Vol. HI, in the introduction to his arrangement, in which are included the symptoms of the time honored Tinetura acris, which was considered by him in all respects similar.

In the second vol- ume of Materia Jledica Para, first and second editions, Hahnemann de- fends his views fully, and gives the indications he had collected up to that time. In the third edition the Aetzstofftinkiur is omitted, because he placed the remedy among the anti-psorics, and at the same time recommended the weaker but purer preparations of lime. In the fourth edition, 1830, Vol. IV, p. 81, he not only gives a long list of the most remarkable cures, but also his provings and those of his pupils, in all 1014 symptoms.

iVhatever diversity of opinion may exist theoretically in regard to the chemical nature of this substance, (see Lorbacher's treatise, A. H. Z , Vol, XCV), the unquestionable good results obtained by its use, in potentized form, by a majority of our best practitioners, stamp it a polychrest of the highest order.

Irrespective of the clinical cases taken from Riickert's collection, Stapfs Archives, and the older journals, the following clinical authorities from our more recent literature are mentioned, as showing the extensive and con- tinued use of this remedy :
