Characteristics——Capsicum should be studied in connection with the other great members of the

Solanum family, Belladonna, Stramonium, Hyoscyamus, Dulcamara, Solanum Carolinense,

Solanum nigrum, Solanum tuberosum (Potato), and Lycopersicum esculentum (Tomato). It acts

with great intensity on the mucous membranes, and also on the bones: affections of bones in

general; pains in bones of face; inflammation of petrous bone. Capsicum corresponds especially

to persons of light hair and blue eyes; also to persons of lax fibre and muscles; obesity; lazy, fat,

unclean persons who dread the open air; clumsy children; awkward persons; hemorrhoidal

• ▸troubles.
• ▸Lack of reaction and bodily irritability.
• ▸Symptoms generally appear on left side.
• ▸As

with Dulcamara, there is extreme sensitiveness to cold and damp which < most symptoms. The

well-known burning effects of red pepper is a leading indication for its use Burning pains"

wherever occurring demand that Capsicum should have the first consideration, if there are no

other determining symptoms in favour of another remedy. The burning of Caps. is < from cold

water. Redness of the skin, and even a scarlet eruption like Belladonna. Very characteristic is a

• ▸cough with fetid breath, or bad taste.
• ▸Cough causing splitting pain in head.
• ▸Chill at 10.
• ▸30 a.
• ▸m.
• ▸,

beginning between shoulders and running down back. A case of poisoning in a worker in a

capsicum-plaister factory brought out: severe chill with shaking; and it ended in an intense

coryza. Caps. 30 brought speedy relief in a case of tympanites following laparotomy, the

concomitant symptoms being: cold nose and extremities, and cyanosis. Caps. is a notable fever

remedy. The patient is thirsty—but drinking causes shuddering. Absence of thirst during heat.

Burning, pungent pains, < by application of cold water, are very marked. Burning, pungent

sensation in face < by slightest draught of cold air; burning in throat; burning blisters in roof of

mouth (diphtheria or gangrene); constriction of throat, spasmodic closure, pain when not

swallowing; burning in rectum, tenesmus, hemorrhage; burning on urination; burning in bladder.

Caps. is among the remedies of the front rank in stomatitis in inflammation of the middle ear,

with involvement of mastoid cells in the sore throat of smokers and drinkers, with inflammation,

burning, relaxed uvula, sometimes dry, sometimes with tough mucus difficult to dislodge. Local

• ▸burning and general chilliness distinguish Caps.
• ▸in a vast number of cases.
• ▸Caps.
• ▸is indicated

where there is lack of reaction in persons of lax fibre. The mental state shows home-sickness.

"Home-sickness, with red cheeks and sleeplessness; with hot feeling in fauces." (With a few

doses of Caps. I cured completely an Australian girl, of florid complexion, who had come to

London to study, and who was quite incapacitated by home-sickness.) There is awkwardness,

fearfulness, obstinacy. Alternating states; laughs and weeps by turns; is now jocose and sings,

but becomes angry from slightest cause. Delirium: it has been given with great success in

delirium tremens, mostly in drachm doses of the tincture, given in milk. > From heat is the most

important modality. Patients who cannot get to sleep without a hot bottle at their back. Rest <

some forms of headache and > others. Motion = headache as if skull would split; as if bruised;

• ▸asthma; chilliness; stiff joints to crack.
• ▸Ascending = asthma.
• ▸< By touch.
• ▸Shuns open air; dreads

uncovering; dreads air, especially a draught. Spirits become lower as body becomes cooler.

Sensation as if cayenne pepper were sprinkled on parts. Violent pains in various places; now here

• ▸now there.
• ▸Sensation as if parts would go to sleep.
• ▸I had one patient on whom Caps.
• ▸acted well in

summer, but not in winter. Equal parts of tincture of Caps. and glycerine make an excellent

liniment for external use in many cases of chronic rheumatism and neuralgia.

Third to sixth attenuation. In delirium tremens, dram doses of tincture in milk or tincture or orange peel.

In the fat, flabby, red-raced children of beer drinkers and pepper

eaters, with poor reaction, a relaxed and flabby constitution, red face

and varicose condition, those that have been overstimulated, children

of overstimulated men, we find the sphere of Capsicum very often.

In those constitutions in which the face looks rosy, but it is cold or not

warm, and upon close examination the face is seen to be studded with

a fine system of capillaries. Plump and round, with no endurance, a

false plethora like Cal, The end of the nose is red, the cheeks are

red, redness over the checks, red eyes, easily relaxed individuals. These

constitutions react slowly after diseases and do not respond to reme«

dies, a sluggish state, a tired, lazy constitution. In school girls who

cannot study or work, who get honae-sick and want to go home. In

gouty constitutions, with cracking of the joints and gouty deposits in

the joints, stiff joints, ciuinsy, weak, give out soon. There is sluggishness of the whole economy. They are chilly patients, are sensitive to

air, and what to be in a warm room. Even in the ordinary weather

the open air causes chilliness. They are sensitive to cold and to bathing.

In the mental state there is no more striking thing than this symptom — homesickness, A sickness like homesickness runs through the

remedy and is accompanied by red cheeks and sleeplessness, hot feeling in the fauces, fcarfulness. They are oversensitive to impressions,

are always looking for an offence or slight ; always suspicious and looking for an insult. Obstinate to the extreme ; it is a devilishness. Even

if she wants a certain thing she will oppose it if is proposed by some

one else. After emotions red cheeks, yet with the red cheeks lack of

heat, even with increased temperature ; or one cheek pale and the other

red, or the cheeks alternately red and pale. Children are clumsy and

awkward.

The Capsicum mind is almost overwhelmed by persistent thoughts

of suicide. He does not want to kill himself, he resists the thoughts

and yet they persist, and he is tormented by these thoughts. There ard

persistent thoughts in many remedies, and it is necessary to distinguish

between impuLses and desires. If he desires to have a rope or a knife

to commit suicide, that is altogether different from an impulse to commit suicide. An impulse is sometimes overwhelming and overbalances

the mind, and he commits suicide. You should always find out from a

patient whether he loathes life and wants to die, or if he has impulses

which he wishes to put aside. Some persons lie awake at night and

long for death, and there is no reason for it. That is a state of the

will, insanity of the will. In another patient the thoughts jump into

his mind and he cannot put them aside, and the thoughts arc tormenting. The distinguishing feature of the remedy is often found by differentiating between the two. Desires are of the will ; impulses come

into the thoughts.

Headaches as if the skull would split when moving the head, when

walking or coughing. Feeling as if the head would fly to pieces ; holds

the head with the hand. Feeling as if the head were large, aggravated

by coughing and stepping, ameliorated by lying with the head high.

Bursting pain and throbbing. Headache with pulsation in the forehead and temples. Headache as if the brain would be pressed through

the forehead. On stooping, feeling as if the brain would be pressed

out, as if the red eyes would be pressed out on stooping.

The senses are disturbed and are ovcracute ; oversensitiveness to

noise, smells, taste and touch, to impressions, to insults. The patient

is exicited.

Pains in the cars ; itching pain : aching, pressing pain with cough,

as if an abscess would burst. It has a peculiar action on the bones

of the internal car and mastoid process. Abscesses round about and

below the ear and caries : petrous portion of temporal bone necrosed.

It has been a frequently indicated remedy in mastoid abscess.

Old catarrhs. The patient takes cold in the nose and throat and this

is followed by a collection of mucus. Very often in stupid patients

it is difficult to get symptoms, and you must depend on what you see,

the character of the discharge and a few other things, and you will

find that some of these cases will be cured and all the other symptoms

will go away ; but in some of these old catarrhs no reaction seems to

come after the most carefully chosen remedies, and all at once the doctor observes that the patient has a red face and it is cold and the end

of the nose is red and cold, and the patient is fat and flabby and yet

has not much endurance, never could learn at school, and if she exerts

breaks out into a sweat and freezes in the cold air. He has a key to

the patient and examines the patient by the key, that is, by the drug,

a mad practice and never to be resorted to except as a dernier resort

and in stupid patients. When he gives Capsicum to that patient it

arouses her, it may not cure ; but after it the Silicea or Kali bich. or

other remedy which was perhaps given before and did not act takes

hold and cures.

In the text it says, “Nose red and hot.” The skin all over is red

3^5

and burning, a capillary congestion. The cheeks are red and hot, and

this alternates with paleness. Red dots on the face. Pains in the face

like bone pains, from external touch. Pains arc worse from touch.

Pain in the zygoma, or the zygoma is sensitive. Sensitive to pressure

over the mastoid. Swelling in the region of the mastoid.

Taste foul like putrid water. When coughing the air from the lungs

causes a pungent offensive taste in the mouth. A hot pungent air

comes up from the throaty tasting foul when coughing.

On the tongue and lips, flat, sensitive, spreading ulcers with lardaceous base. The mucous membrane of the lips and various parts of the

body if pinched up with the fingers remain in the raised position, showing a sluggish circulation. This is the flabbiness of Capsicum. It

wrinkles on pressure. It is a feeble circulation. The parts you touch

are loose and flabby, red. fat and cold. That child will not react well

if it has mea.sles, until it gets Capsicum. The skin is moist and colei,

and there is a fine measly condition of the skin due to capillary congestion. If the child is old enough it will complain of feeling cold. There*

is slow reaction after eruptive diseases, after glandular diseases, after

bowel complaints. The child was fat and flabby, but now does not

take on flesh.

He takes cold in the throat and nose, and the throat looks as if it

• ▸would bleed, it is so red, a fine rash-like appearance — it is puffed, discolored, purple, mottled, flabby and ' spongy-looking ; dark red.
• ▸Burning soreness with ulceration in the fauces.
• ▸Uvula elongated.
• ▸Stitching in tliroat.
• ▸Enlarged tonsils, inflamed, large and spongy.
• ▸The

throat remains sore a long time after a cold or sore throat. Burning,

pressing pain in the throat, the throat dark red ; relaxed sore throat ;

pain on swallowing, dysphagia. Throat sluggish for weeks, a do-nothing state, does not get very bad, but gets no better, a lack of reaction.

When the chill begins there is thirst. Thirst after every dysenteric

stool, a sudden carving for ice-cold water, which causes chilliness.

Craving for water before the chill and when taken it hastens the chill :

it feels cold in the stomach. He desires something warm, something

stimulating, craves pungent things. This is seen in whisky drinkers ;

they crave pepper, and the pepper, on the other hand, turns round and

craves whisky. These diffusable stimulants crave some stimulating

thing, crave support. Dipsomania.

Let me give you a hint in Arsenic. In dipsomania the sinners who

have been drinking a great many drinks in a day sometimes get to that

state in which they must get up during the night for a drink or they will

not be able to get up in the morning. In the morning the first three

or four drinks will be thrown up, but the next one will stay down ;

they must take a number until one sticks. They have got to that state

in which they must keep on taking it. If they sleep too long the first

3i6 capsicum

few drinks will come up, and so they must get up in the night or the

whisky will not stay down in the morning until they have taken a number of drinks. You will see this in lawyers who do a great amount of

wDik on stimulants. Nux, Ars,, and Caps, will do something for them

if they will co-operate with you. I remember saying to one old toper,

who had kept up altogether on champagne, that he would have to

stop it. He whined, ‘1 don’t think it is worth while.” If he could not

get his champagne he didn’t think life worth living. If these people

want to get tenefit they must co-operate.

Dysentery. After stool, tenesmus and thirst, and drinking causes

shuddering. Smarting and burning in anus and rectum. Violent

tenesmus in rectum and bladder at the same time. Haemorrhoids ; protruding, smarting, burning ; smarting like pepper ; they sting and burn

as if pepper had been sprinkled on them. Tenesmus of the bladder ;

• ▸strangury.
• ▸Burning, biting pain after urination.
• ▸In old cases of gonorrhoea, in which there no reaction.
• ▸The discharge is creamy.
• ▸You

take a picture of his face, you notice the plethora, but also that he has

no endurance, plump, flabby, sensitive to cold, red face. He does not

react after cold. He has the last drop or a creamy discharge with

burning on urination. Capsicum will sometimes stop it suddenly.

Coldness of scrotum. Prepuce swollen, axlematoiis. Pain in the prostate gland after gonorrhoea.

Coldness of the affected part. Coldness in patches. Coldness of

the whole body.

It is useful in perplexing and troublesome chronic hoarseness. He

had had a cold and remedies for the acute condition have been given,

• ▸perhaps two or three remedies, ricor/.
• ▸, Bry.
• ▸, Hep.
• ▸, Phos,, but all at

once you wake up to the fact of his chronic constitutional state of

• ▸hoarseness.
• ▸He is rotund, chilly, red faced, and the hoarseness disappears under Capsicum.
• ▸It is the same with the cough.
• ▸After making several blunders you wake up and see it is a Capsicum case and

that you have never yet gotten at the root of the trouble. This shows

the importance of getting at the things general first. If there is much

acute suffering of course you must give an acute remedy, but if the

patient has delayed recovery and convalesence is slow the next remedy

• ▸should be the remedy for the patient.
• ▸Sometimes it is Sulph.
• ▸, Phos.
• ▸,

Lyc., and sometimes it is Caps. If the patient has a good constitutional

state he will get over the cold on the acute remedy, but the old gouty,

rheumatic, flabby patients need a constitutional remedy.

Cough in sudden paroxysms convulsing the whole body. Cries

after the cough from the headache. Stitches in the suffering part with

the cough. Every cough jars the affected joint. The constitutional

state comes first and the particulars must agree i. e., prescribe according to the totality.
