Characteristics——As Nat. phos. is one of Schissler's introductions I will first quote what he has

to say about it: "Nat. phos. is contained in the blood-corpuscles, in the cells of the muscles, of the

nerves and of the brain, as well as in the intercellular fluids. Through the presence of Nat. p.

• ▸lactic acid is decomposed into carbonic acid and water.
• ▸Naz.
• ▸p.
• ▸is able to bind to itself carbonic

acid, receiving into itself two parts of carbonic acid for every volume of phosphoric acid. When

it has thus bound the carbonic acid it conveys it to the lungs. The oxygen flowing into the lungs

liberates the carbonic acid, which is only loosely attached to the Nat. p.; the carbonic acid is then

exhaled and exchanged for oxygen, which is absorbed by the iron of the blood-corpuscles. Nat.

p. 1s the remedy for those diseases which are caused by an excess of lactic acid. It therefore

answers to the diseases of infants, who, having been fed to excess with milk and sugar, suffer

from redundant acids. The symptoms in such cases are: Sour eructations, vomiting of sour,

cheesy masses; yellowish-green, so-called hacked diarrhceas; colic, spasms with acidity. Uric

acid is dissolved in the blood by two factors, the warmth of the blood and Nat. p. If uric acid is

deposited from its solution in the joints or near them, owing to a deficiency of Nat. p., or when it

combines with the base of Carbonate of soda into urate of soda, which is insoluble, then there

arises podagra or acute arthritic rheumatism. During an acute attack of podagra the secretion of

uric acid in the urine is diminished by just so much as is retained of it in the diseased parts. Nat.

p. also serves to saponify the fatty acids; it therefore cures those dyspeptic ailments which arise

• ▸from eating fat food, or which are aggravated thereby.

attenuations, under Farrington's direction. Schiissler's indications do not all appear in the

(Oct., 1897) the effect it had on him and the use he made of it. After being under the influence of

the drug some time (without knowing what it was) he had much itching at the ankle-joints, with

an eczematous eruption. Fear, especially at night, that something would happen. Headache; some

nausea; defect of vision, one pupil dilated. The symptoms had to be antidoted with Sepia. Two

years after, Mohr had a patient with visional disturbance and headache, and when these were at

their worst he had a sense of fear, < at night, and an eruption about the ankles which began with

this remedy, as we have many pathogenetic symptoms. Schuessler’s

indications were good and mostly confirmed by clinical observations.
