Essence

Prologue
Boericke

Sulphite of Quinine

  • A dose of Chinin sulph in high potency sometimes arouses suppressed malaria, and brings back the paroxysm.
  • Aside from its undoubted influence over malaria, it is indicated homeopathically whenever there is marked periodicity and spinal sensitiveness.
  • Acute articular rheumatism.
  • Polyarticular gout.
  • Pruritus and congested conditions of the rectum.
  • Symptoms of chronic interstitial nephritis.
  • Retro-bulbar neuritis with sudden loss of sight.
  • Thready vessels.
  • Hiccough.

Keynotes

Characteristics (part 1)
Clarke

Sulphuric acid and Sulphur are themselves in the first rank of periodic

remedies, and combined with the chief alkaloid of China they enhance the powerful periodic

properties of that drug. In old-school practice the Sulphate of Quinine has almost entirely taken

  • the place of the crude Bark as a remedy.
  • Chin.
  • sul.
  • closely resembles China in its effects, but as

it has been proved separately, and as observations of the effects of over-dosing have supplied

many additional symptoms, the homceopathist has plenty of guidance in the selection of one in

  • preference to the other.
  • Chi.
  • sul.
  • is even more powerful as an antiseptic than China, and it is

probable that it is in virtue of its property of antagonising the malarial poison that it suppresses

intermittent fever when it does not cure. It only cures when the fever corresponds to its own type.

When a fever is "suppressed" there is generally air unholy alliance between disease-force and

drug-force, which is expended on some part of the organism, resulting at times in lifelong ill-

health. The "Quinine cachexia" is well known—sallow complexion, emaciation, deafness and

singing in the ears, enlarged spleen, disposition to shiver, and great debility. Periodicity is

extremely well marked, the attacks returning at the same hour each day. In intermittents the onset

may anticipate. Skin flaccid and sensitive to touch. Red rash over whole body, with severe

stinging, followed by desquamation. Other prominent symptoms are: Headache extending from

occiput to forehead. Whirling in the head like a mill-wheel. Twitching of left eyelid, < in the

  • evening.
  • Aphthz in weakly people.
  • Tartar on teeth.
  • Hunger at night.
  • Prolapse of rectum,

especially in children. Heematuria and hemoglobinuria. ("Black-water fever" has been developed

  • through administering Chi.
  • su/.
  • in intermittents.
  • Koch deserves much credit for showing that the

worst features of African fevers are due to over-dosing with Quinine and not to the disease). E

W. Sawyer (Med. Advance, 1887) relates this instructive history: He learned from his cook that

her brother (zt. 16) could not take a particle of Quinine without causing a profuse flow of blood

with the urine, sometimes within half an hour, always without pain. This had followed every

time his doctors had tried to "break his ague" with Quinine. A year later a farmer's wife, cet. 60,

came to Dr. Sawyer to be treated for bloody urine unattended with pain or uneasiness. She

attributed it to strain from walking two miles on a slippery road. She had been for months under

Hygienist treatment without benefit, and was alarmingly weak from loss of blood. Rhus 200,

  • Ham.
  • \x, Erig.
  • 1x, Chi.
  • 1x, Fer.
  • mur.
  • 2x were given in succession in vain.
  • At last, calling to
  • mind the case of the youth, he gave Chi.
  • su/.
  • in 1 / 16 gr.
  • doses three times a day, and a prompt
  • cure was effected.
  • Chi.
  • su/.
  • causes painfulness and swelling of varicose veins during a chill.

(Julius E. Schmitt cured a case on this last indication.) Great sensitiveness to external influences.

All discharges debilitating. Weak and nervous; a little exercise = sweat from least exertion. Head

  • gradually breaks into sweat when perfectly quiet.
  • Chi.
  • sul.
  • is one of the medicines which have

the "sinking sensation." Tyrrell had a patient in whom in any potency it caused her to become
