Scarlatininum

Scarlatininum.

The nosode of Scarlatina or Scarlet Fever.

Albuminuria. Nephritis. Scarlet fever. Skin affections. Throat, sore.

Scarlatinin has been used, like other nosodes, for the prevention and for cure of the disease from which it takes origin. But its well-known affinity for the skin, throat and kidneys suggests its applicability for affections of those organs.

Bell. is the nearest analogue and should be its antidote, and the various Mercuries come next. Compare also : Apis, Arsen. , Rhus, Morbillin, Diphtherinum.

Scirrhinum.

Carcinominum. The nosode of Scirrhous Cancer. Trituration.

Breast, cancer of. Cancer. Cancerous diathesis. Glands, enlarged. Haemorrhages. Varicosis. Worms.

Burnett is my authority for this nosode. He proved it on himself, and produced "a tremendous sinking at the navel," which he regarded as a keynote for its use. Scirrh. has aided the cure of many cases of breast tumour in Burnett's hands. With it he cured a man of hard glands which appeared on the left side of the neck after other glands had been removed by the patient's brother, a surgeon.

Haemorrhages and varicosis of legs and feet, with purple points, have also been cured by Burnett with Scirrh. A patient to whom Burnett had given Scirrh. mentioned to him that it had caused the passage of an enormous number of threadworms. On this hint Burnett gave it with great success in many cases of this troublesome complaint ; and I have verified this experience. In inveterate cases where Cina and Teucr. have given little relief, Scirrh. has wrought a great change for the better.

The time of < of Scirrh. is from 5 to 6 p. m. , and irregularly on through the night.
