(The desire for stool and the frequent evacuations occasioned by Hyosciamus are alternate effects of the delay of stool and the want of desire for stool ; the former, however, appear to be the principal pri- mary effect.

[Taking the symptoms (113) to (119,) (122) to (125,) (127) to (134,) (136,) (137,) (138,) 96 to 98, 104, (414,) (451) to (454,) (465) to (472,) (474) (349,) (380,) (385,) (83,) (84,) (335) -to (337), and arrang- ing them in one group, we shall have a tolerably accurate im- age' of certain forms of hydrophobia which may therefore be homojopathically cured by Hyosciamus.

The true accounts which we possess of this fearful malady, show that there are varieties of it which may each be cured by a specific drug.

Hyosciamus is one of these.

Stramonium and Belladonna correspond to other varieties.

Belladonna has already cured some cases of hydrophobia, but it would have cured many more, if it had been left unmixed with other drugs, or if it had not been given in such murderous doses.

Large doses of ho- tnceopathic remedies are more injurious than large doses of alloeopathic drugs.

A practitioner tvho prescribes a drug homoeopathicalli/, commits a real crime by administering doses of the size used in the common allosopathic routine.

Such doses become real poisons and homicidal agents.

I say this not only in regard to Belladonna and Stramoniian, but in regard to every other drug, in all forms of disease and especially acute diseases.

Let no one come and tell me that his patient died in spite of having taken one of those medi- ciues, even a large dose thereof, every two or three hours.
