(This semen, even the best, looks like small, oblong, light, yellow- green blossoms, mixed with a few stems, and coming from the bush known under the name of Artemisia Contra. The tincture is prepared by mixing twenty parts of alcohol with one part of the entire blossoms, and extracting their virtue during a whole week, without applying any heat.) For centuries past this important drug has been used only to expel worms, being given in doses of 10, 20, 30, 60 and more grains. I shall say nothing of the dangerous and even fatal consequences attending the administration of such doses, and I would merely make the passing remark, that a few worms, in lively children, cannot be considered an important disease ; they are quite common in childhood, and cause but little inconvenience in an age where the psoric miasm is yet in a latent condition ; on the contrary, however, where worms are found in a large quantity, they originate in a morbid con- dition of the system, in the psoric miasm which has been roused from its latent state, and which must be cured ; other- wise the worms are speedily re-produced. By such im- proper reiterated expulsions of the worms nothing is gained, and, in very many instances, they end in the death of the sufferer. The following list of symptoms shows that this agent has many more powers than that of expelling worms. It possesses great curative powers in whooping-cough, and in certain intermittent fevers accompanied with vomiting and canine hunger. Formerly 1 was in the habit of using the 9th potency, but I know now, that the 30th potency exhibits the curative powers of Cina in a more appropriate degree. One, two or three pellets may be given at a dose. Accordmg to Noack and Trinks this drug may be used in convulsions fiom worms, worm affections, intermittent fevers, cerebral affections, encephalitis, acute hydrocephalus ; chronic weakness of the eyes, with pressure in the eyes, and photopho- bia, when brought on by onanism.— Gastric affections.— Chronic vomiting in children affected with worms — Bloated abdomen of children, congestions to the head a7id chest. — Wettino- the bed, when atrophic conditions are present.
