(Express the juice from the green, recent and whole plant, and mix it with equal parts of alcohol.) This powerful plant produces a number of symptoms in the healthy human organism analogous to the diseases to ' From opium which was given for a sort of dysentery. ' From opium, administered for an excessive pain, which threaten- ed to bring on convulsions. ^ From a large dose of opium. * This symptom was palliated by opium, which she had to take in doses increasing in size progressively. 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.
