Calcarea Arsenicosa

Calc. bro. is an unproved remedy, recommended by Hale in a variety of

children's complaints. Suited to children who are of lax fibre, lymphatic, nervous, and irritable.

As both Bromine and Calcarea are suited to fair-haired and fat children the combination appears

to intensify the effect. Gastric, intestinal, and cerebral irritation in such children. Vomiting,

diarrhoea, sleeplessness, fretfulness, and tendency to brain disease.

where the lime element is deficient, and we soon get deformity ; curvature. It may be surprising to you to hear that Calcarea is a great

help, and has sometimes cured that without any brace or support

whatever, when taken early. You take infants manifesting a weakness

of the spine, let them lie flat on their back in bed, put them on the

indicated remedy — it is sometimes Calcarea— and in a little while tliat

knuckling will cease, and the little one will sit up straight. Such wonderful things occur under the use of Calcarea, when the symptoms agree.

In the extremities we have all the rheumatic conditions that it is

possible to describe. Gouty affections of the joints, with enlarged

joints ; gouty conditions, especially of the small joints, of the toe and

finger. Rlieumatic complaints of the joints from every exposure,

from every change of the weather to cold, especially if it is cold and

damp. The feet are always cold, or cold and damp, except at night

in bed after piling clothing upon the feet more than any other part

of the body, then the feet begin to get warm, and then they often go

to the other extreme and burn ; and so they burn at night in bed. But

the feet are so cold that the patient has to put more clothing on the

feet than the body will endure. Cold, damp feet. Late walking.

Clumsiness ; awkwardness ; stiffness. Rheumatic conditions. Stiff

ness belongs to Calcarea all over. Stiff on beginning to move ; stiff

at night on rising from a seat. Stiffness in all joints on beginning

to move ; and if it turns cold or there is a cold rain, the Calcarea

patient always suffers ; suffers front coldness, stiffness, rheumatism ;

has rheumatism in every cold change in the weather.

The sleep is greatly disturbed. Late going to sleep, sometimes not

till 2, 3 or 4 o’clock. Full of ideas ; when closing the eyes horrible

visions. Grinding the teeth. A child in sleep, chews and swallows

and grinds the teeth. Sleeplessness a good part of the night. Cold

feet at night in bed.

As this remedy is a chemical union of two w^ell proved deep acting

remedies it would most likely appear at once to the mind as a long

acting remedy, well suited to many chronic diseases. In fact, it is deep

acting enough to cure some of our most stubborn cases of epilepsy.

CALCAREi^ FLUORlCA

This chemical union of lime atid fluoric acid gives us a remedy with

a new nature and properties. However conversant one may be with

either or both of these elements, he could not predict the curative powers

held in this double remedy. I refer to its ability to cure indurated

infiltrations of glands, cellular tissues and bony formations. A nodule

in the course of a tendon, and exostosis, a stony hard gland, bony infiltration in the periosteum, rice bodies in cartilages have been cured by

this remedy wonderful to tell, when there was a paucity of symptoms.

It will cure of course when symptoms agree, but it needs proving in

order that individualization may be oftener possible.

A recurrent fibroid in the hallow of the knee was removed once by

the knife, but returned, and grew to the size of a fist. The leg was

drawn upto forty-five degrees, and the knee became immovable. This

wonderful remedy was prescribed on the symptoms of the case and

the hardness of the tumor. The tumor gradually dwindled, the limb

became normal and as good as ever ; this patient has since born a

healthy child — is still perfectly free from the trouble. It is now ten

years since she was cured.

The patient is sensitive to cold, to drafts, to changes in the weather.
