Bufones

Toads. Reptilia.

Toads belong to the most poisonous reptiles. In olden times being looked upon as horrible things, they were given in horrible diseases. During the rage of improvement the remedy was thrown overboard, and even the poisonous qualities doubted, until rare experiments, especially those by Vulpian, have settled the question. In 1832 Henke, our great prover, was the first in our school to call attention to it ; his observations were published in Meyer's Monatsblatt, 1860, and in 1834 the homoeopathic society of Thiiringen sent some symptoms to the archives of Stapf (Vol. 14, No. 2, page 102).

In 1849 Mure published a proving with his preparation taken from the most common toad in Brazil, called by him Bufo satybien- sis. This was translated by Hempel and Allen. Houat published one of his provings in Nouvelles Donnees. This was translated three times ; by Lippe, Lilienthal and Allen.

In 1859, Destrone, in a French journal, collected notes from all old writers and also made some provings. His collection has been translated in Allen's Encyclopedia, including the very doubtful numbers 6, 7, and half of 8. The provers mentioned have used about half a dozen difl"erent species and nearly every one proved a different prepara- tion. The cures are of the greatest importance and cannot be doubted in the least, even not by such who make profession of so-called skepticism.

But now for nearly ten years we have not been able to find a single case in our journals. The cures have been epilepsy, cancers, beginning of malacie of the brain and cutaneous diseases. Many of Houat's symptoms have been verified.

The best way of getting the poison was proposed in 1861 by Roth in Paris, {AUg. h. Zeit. ,Yo\. 6, page 112, mentioned in Schwabe's Pharmacopcea by Faradization ; but in 1862, in C. Miiller's Quarter Zt/, Vol. 13, the same author proposed a still better one. The toad was to be held with the left hand in a wooden forceps, the glands on the side of the head pressed with a wire forceps and the juice caught on a glass plate : it is soluble in alcohol.
