Third to thirtieth potency.

Cadmium sulph. has been only partially proved, so that only a limited

amount of information can be given concerning it. A medicine may

be said to be thoroughly proved when it has left its impress upon all

elements of man ; when it has affected his memory and his intellect,

when it has affected his organs and all their functions, u e., when

healthy man has taken a medicine until all these things are affected

and the results are known as the effects of that medicine. Every

medicine affects in some way all these elements of man, and no

medicine is well proved until it is known how all these elements

are affected. There is a dread of work ; aversion to doing everything,

mental and physical. Anxiety has been brought out more by cures than

by the pathogenesis, so that it w^ell enough known to be classed along

with Arsenicum for its anxiety ; it may well be classed with Arsenicum

for its prostration also ; it has great w^eakness ; it might also be classed

with Arsenicum, because of the organs that are affected, especially because of its action upon the stomach, which is somewhat like Arsenicum, great exhaustion, irritable stomach and vomiting. It has such

vomiting as is found in the lowest forms of fever, such irritable

stomach as is found in yellow fever, with black vomiting, and just at

this point is the place where tfce likeness to Arsenicum comes out in

the low forms of the fever. But unlike Arsenicum^ running all through

the remedy, he wants to be perfectly quiet ; part of it is a state of indolence, part of it is an aversion to motion. He is worse from motion,

which makes it like Bryonia, So we will see running all through the

remedy the exhaustion of Arsenicum and aversion to motion, like

Bryonia,

Running through it w^e find it is spasmodic and nervous ; it affects

the muscles like Zinc, It is found in its crude state associated with

Zinc, Hering made several observations whereby he tried to prove

that substances found together had a relationship and illustrated it by

Tellurium which occurs as the telluride of gold. It may be a fact that

substances so associated are in some respects similar, but this is only

a side thought, as each substance must be studied on its merits. There

must be no guesswork in the study of provings. Every remedy must

be used for its own symptoms, and for these there is no substitute. If

a remedy does not work, the homoeopath can only examine the case

anew and seek new symptoms and another remedy.

Vertigo in the room ; the bed spins round. The head symptoms,

anxiety and vertigo are such as occur in low types of gastro-intestinal

irritation, as in continued fevers, deep-seated, slow and sluggish ; in

yellow fever, with prostration, vomiting of blood, black vomit. Lancinating in the head, pulsating in the temples. It is not so often called

CADMIUM SULPirUUlCUM

for in ordinary headaches, but in headaches occurring in the low forms

of fever, with great rush of blood to the head. Cutting like knives as

occurs in yellow fever.

The eye symptoms are numerous. Inflammation of a local character;

conjunctivitis with discharge, long continued, a chronic conjunctivitis.

Old “sore eyes,*' rousing up with every cold and change of weather.

Thickening of the conjunctiva. Scrofulous sore eyes. Ulcer spots ;

old scars which break and heal up. It does wonderful work in curing

old eye troubles ; opacities with slow' inflammation. Pressure above the

eyes. Paralysis of the lids ; ptosis. It commonly affects one side of

the face and one eye. It has paralytic conditions like Caustkum ;

paralysis of one part or of one side of the body. After an apoplectic

attack when the patient recovers, but Aveakness of one arm and leg

remains, it competes with Phos,

Changes in sensation here and there. Formication of the skin and

• ▸deeper tissues.
• ▸“Asleep” sensation, or like ants crawling in the extremities, deep in the muscles and the skin.
• ▸Hyperaesthesia or anaesthesia.
• ▸Numbness of parts ; the nose, one hand ; numbness in spots.

In this it is similar to Caust. Paralyzed parts are sometimes painful.

Crawling in paralyzed parts.

• ▸destroyed by caries.
• ▸Ulceration.
• ▸Pains in the bones.
• ▸Sneezing :

coryza, boils, abscesses.

Disturbances of the taste. It is suitable to low forms of continued

fever ; it has sordes, dark tongue, bleeding tongue and dry mouth, as

in typhus, typhoid and yellow fever. Sluggish tongue ; difficulty in

• ▸moving it.
• ▸Difficult swallowing.
• ▸The muscles of the throat are affected causing dysphagia.
• ▸Constriction of the fcsophagiis.
• ▸Violent

thirst. p]very lime he takes cold w^atcr, which lie craves, goose-flesh

comes out, a creeping or horripilation like Caps.

The stomach gives us the strongest and most important symptoms.

7'hc stomach quits business ; no digestion. erything sours ; fluids

and the simplest tilings taken are changed and come up sour, mixed

with blood or bile ; rancid eructations ; with great exhaustion. The

nausea is distressing. Nauseated all the way down to the abdomen

• ▸like Ipec.
• ▸, Ant.
• ▸t.
• ▸, and Asr.
• ▸, extensive nausea.
• ▸Cold sweat.
• ▸Vomiting

of yellow-green mucus. Touching the lips brings on nausea. Looking

over the symptoms narrated here an experienced practitioner would

think of gastritis — vomiting of the simplest things. Irritation of the

stomach after tedious sickness, like cerebro-spinal-meningitis, typhoid,

• ▸yellow fever.
• ▸The stomach gives out ; there is no dige.
• ▸stion, and everything is vomited.
• ▸He is convalescing, but his stomach is irritable.
• ▸He

wants to keep still. The Arsenic prostration and irritable stomach

occuf at the beginning of the fever, with heat and restlessness. This
